American Comics: Starting from the Invincible Young Hero

Chapter 39 Battle Screening

【Apply Allen template】

He controlled Cecil and asked him to secretly develop weapons targeting the weaknesses of the Vitrum people.

Turning around and looking at the bright sun, Russell bent his legs slightly and suddenly soared into the sky. The atmosphere was torn apart behind him, and the clouds parted to both sides like waves.

“Let’s give it a try…”

He had tried training on the Soldier Boy template, with disappointing results – the template's abilities were set in stone and couldn't be developed anew, but perhaps Allen's template would be different?

The edge of the corona.

The star's violent energy storm swept over, and under the astonishing light and heat, even through the battle suit, the skin could still feel the burning pain.

Russell removed the suit without hesitation, letting it float away in space.

"call--"

Taking a deep breath, he, wearing only a pair of underwear, dived into the sun with his naked body.

……

"Isn't it possible?"

Russell's brows were furrowed as he re-entered the atmosphere, and white flames ignited around him due to friction.

But compared with the solar purgatory we just experienced, this temperature was nothing.

He tried to create a near-death environment in the sun to allow Allen's template to evolve, but failed.

Russell had somewhat expected this result.

Every time you include other people's templates, they are copied exactly, and even the experience of using the abilities will be copied as well.

An inappropriate analogy is that when applying a template, you choose to insert a disc that has already been burned.

"It's copied from a template, so it's already fixed. Unless it's solidified into your own ability, maybe I can continue developing it..."

[Conquest Points: 8600]

[Solidating the Soldier Boy template requires 85000 Conquest Points. Do you want to solidify it?]

[It takes 140000 conquest points to solidify the Allen template. Do you want to solidify it?]

"This premium..." Russell's eyes flashed, "It only means that the growth potential after solidification far exceeds expectations."

Recalling Allen's growth trajectory in the original novel—he was on the verge of death several times before breaking through his limits. He possessed the ability of immortal healing, and once solidified, he could realize his full potential in a short period of time.

And if Allen's ability template in the later part of the story is to be solidified, it may take 200,000 to 300,000 conquest points or even more.

Now with 140,000 conquest points, it is undoubtedly a sure win.

Flying high in the sky over Chicago and heading towards home, Russell set a small goal.

"Accumulate conquest points and solidify the Allen template!"

……

"Is that a demigod?

Shrapnel Man? And Mighty, Super Continent, Bug Eyes… Look, cousin, they’re from the Battle Power Alliance, so cool…”

At the headquarters of the Global Defense Agency, after Cecil announced the recruitment of new Global Guardians, almost all the superheroes who thought they had a chance gathered together.

Mark walked through the long corridor where people were queuing for interviews. Familiar superheroes came into view, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

"Mark," Russell glanced at Mark next to him. "Don't make a fuss. Don't forget that you are a superhero now."

"Yes, that's right." Mark patted his forehead.

It hadn't been long since he became a superhero, and it took him a while to realize that he was no longer that ordinary otaku high school student.

Russell keenly noticed his cousin's unusual excitement: "Are you particularly excited today?"

"Is there any?"

Mark quickly put away his smile, pretending to be serious and unhappy. He stood on tiptoe and looked for the beautiful pink figure in the familiar group in front of him. When he saw Eve, his eyes lit up.

Eve frowned, her face showing suppressed sadness and anger, and she didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Mark couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw this. Yesterday in a text message chat, Eve had told him that she accidentally discovered that her boyfriend Rex was cheating on her with his doppelganger Kate.

The two have broken up, which means he has a chance.

"come on."

Following his cousin Mark's gaze, Russell immediately understood, patted Mark's shoulder gently, and encouraged him to go up.

"Cousin, what are you talking about?

Eve is very sad, I just want to comfort her." Mark blushed and said shyly, then went up to wave.

The two chatted, and with Mark's deliberate teasing and comfort, the gloom on Eve's expression soon dissipated a little.

"You're here, Infinity." The robot counted the queue list and came forward to greet them. "There are so many superheroes here today. I'll have to trouble you later."

"I heard that Director Cessel appointed you as the captain of the new Global Guard. Congratulations." Russell said.

"I'm just the second choice."

The robot spoke in a sincere tone, as if stating a fact.

"If you hadn't refused, I wouldn't have been appointed captain. During the several Fraxen invasions, my teammates and I could only offer a small helping hand."

"This is Director Cessel's recognition of you. Unlike me, who only has some superpowers, he values ​​your outstanding wisdom and management skills.

I believe you are better able to lead the new global guard."

Russell shrugged.

"The Global Guard isn't just a team of superheroes like the Youth Team or the Power Alliance. They shoulder the responsibility of protecting the world and are Earth's first line of defense, which absolutely cannot afford to make mistakes.

There are so many superheroes here today that only a few can join in the end."

The robot glanced sideways at the superheroes.

"Director Cessel, please act as the combat test officer to screen the candidates. It may be very tiring today, but please give them some room to perform.

Sometimes, besides strength, adaptability in battle, flexibility of thought, and a calm and composed character are also important."

"I know this."

Russell waved his hand, indicating that he could rest assured.

"Infinite Man, I heard that Director Cecil of the Global Defense Agency originally approached him first and wanted him to form a new Global Guard, but he actually refused."

"real or fake?"

"He looks very young. What abilities does he have?"

"I'm not sure, but it seems to be very fast and powerful, and it can fly?
He repelled several Fraxen invasions almost single-handedly."

Everyone heard that the Infinite Man was responsible for screening them. Russell's appearance made the superheroes whisper to each other. Some looked nervous, some looked at them with suspicion, and some were not convinced.

“Flaxen?

I've heard it before. It seems like a group of aliens without any special abilities? It's not surprising that they defeated a group of ordinary people with laser guns, right?

Before Russell was born, some of these superheroes were active in fighting crime in various places. It was normal for them to be dissatisfied when they were suddenly tested as instructors by a kid who had just debuted for a few days.

Some voices that seemed to be deliberately raised in pitch drifted into Russell's ears, but he seemed not to hear the noise. He looked through the list with a calm expression, scanning the list, paying attention to which person's ability was more worthy of solidification.

After I have screened out a few people, they will naturally shut up.

In terms of hard power, no one in this group can make Russell care, but sometimes the combination of ordinary abilities and powerful templates can create surprising effects.

For example, Xi Meizi's immortality and self-healing...it significantly improves the power of any template.
