Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel

Sitting cross-legged on the floor of the room, Bai Ye, who had no exercise equipment, began to slowly circulate his internal energy under the curious gaze of Xiao Taoqi.

In the quiet room, as Bai Ye circulated his Purple Cloud Divine Skill, a gentle breeze swirled around him, and the purple mist no longer just lingered on his face, but also enveloped his entire body in a hazy, indistinct way.

"What is this?" Little Mischief stared in surprise at the purple halo emanating from Bai Ye's skin as his internal energy flowed through his meridians, as solemn as a god or Buddha.

With Bai Ye's extraordinary hearing, he could hear the rushing sound of internal energy flowing through his meridians, like the Yangtze River rushing and flowing.

The two hours passed peacefully in Bai Ye's meditation. Taking advantage of the fragmented time to cultivate, his internal energy easily increased to its upper limit by a year and a half.

"Mr. Bai, what were you doing just now?" Little Mischief asked curiously. "Is this your mutant ability?"

"No, this is something anyone can cultivate. As for my mutant ability..." Bai Ye looked at his status bar.

Description section:

Total time: 2 hours, 15 minutes, and 32 seconds. Your gene awakening ability is [Etherealization].

The permanent ability has gone berserk; improving physical attributes can eliminate the side effects.

……

'Is the awakened ability to become ethereal?' Bai Ye pondered as he looked at the description, but the next moment a pain shot through his arm.

The little rascal exclaimed in surprise, because a long, narrow gash had suddenly appeared on Bai Ye's arm, clearly revealing the muscle fibers and bones beneath the skin.

'Is this what it means to have your abilities go berserk?' Bai Ye pondered. You see, his arm was now harder than steel; even a barrage of bullets couldn't break his skin. Yet it was torn open so easily.

'No, it's less like being torn apart and more like being swallowed up,' Bai Ye thought.

Because he could clearly feel that his right hand had indeed lost a little weight, about 0.03 grams.

"It's alright, it's just a minor injury." Bai Ye smiled and reassured the worried little rascal.

Thanks to the recovery power brought by the 3.1 constitution, the torn wound on my arm began to heal before it even started bleeding, and it is expected to be fully restored in four or five minutes.

'But how should I use my ability?' Bai Ye looked at the healed wound on his right hand and wondered. Then, following the feeling that rose in his heart, Bai Ye had a thought and felt his right arm disappear.

Looking at her right hand, which was still in sight, Bai Ye slowly reached out to touch the little rascal beside her. To the little rascal's surprise, Bai Ye's right hand clipped through her clothes, easily passing right through them.

'Phantom Cat? No, it should be called a Hollow Dog!'

A hint of excitement flashed in Bai Ye's eyes; he seemed to know how to use his ability.

Chapter 64 Hollowfication

"Mr. Bai, is this your awakened ability?" Little Mischief looked in surprise at Bai Ye's right hand overlapping with his own clothes.

"I think so. Wait for me here for a moment." Bai Ye said excitedly. The next moment, not only his right hand, but his whole body disappeared from reality.

When Bai Ye regained his sight, he found himself in an absolutely dark space.

In this space, there is no light, no sound, not even air or gravity, just like being in silent space. An ordinary person would die from internal organ explosion in no time if they were in it.

But for Bai Ye at this moment, enduring this environment for more than ten minutes is not a problem.

After groping around in the dark, Bai Ye learned that the entire space was roughly the size of a cube with sides of 3 meters.

'So this is what etherealization means.' Bai Ye looked at the nothingness before him and began to manipulate his abilities.

The space, which was originally isolated from the world, was brought into the light and air of the outside world by the white night. In the next moment, the originally dark space immediately became bright and gradually became suitable for human habitation.

This also allowed Bai Ye to understand the mutant ability he had awakened.

Simply put, it means having a free space to control, and being able to move your body back and forth between the real and virtual worlds at any time.

"Now that I have this ability, my survival skills have increased dramatically." Bai Ye looked around the space in front of him.

As long as I hide inside the space, Professor X's psychic abilities will theoretically be unable to affect me. It can also be used as a spatial ring in normal times.

After some experimentation, Bai Ye slowly emerged from the illusory space, wanting to greet Xiao Taoqi, but the next moment a sharp pain shot through his back as a long, narrow wound tore open his back.

'Did his spatial abilities go berserk and tear his body apart...?' Bai Ye wondered to himself.

However, he had nothing to worry about. Compared to this level of injury, the burns from electric shock training were enough to make his brain boil into bubbles, but he would still train as usual. As long as he improved his physique, everything would be fine.

He casually greeted the little rascal: "Let's go, now we can meet Magneto and the others as mutants."

With that, Bai Ye took Xiao Taoqi's gloved right hand, opened the door and went out. They quickly found Magneto and the others who were discussing matters in the lobby downstairs.

When they saw Bai Ye come down, the members of the Brotherhood looked over together.

"So, your superpowers have awakened?" Magneto asked.

"Of course, the ability is pretty good for me. I guess I'd say I'm a level three mutant, since I can use the ability to become ethereal," Bai Ye said, defining himself.

Then, in the eyes of the group, his figure passed through the chair next to him and walked straight over.

Seeing Bai Ye's abilities, the mutants' eyes immediately softened. Magneto said happily, "Welcome to the Brotherhood of Mutants. From now on, you are one of us."

“Of course, as I said before, I will make sure that mutants are fully integrated into human society.” Bai Ye said, and then, to the astonishment of the others, a wound tore from his forehead to his jaw.

"Are you alright?" Mystique stepped forward to support Bai Ye with concern, her attitude completely different from before.

"It's alright, this is the machine defect I mentioned before. Its abilities are starting to go out of control, and I need some time to stabilize it," Bai Ye said, waving his hand dismissively.

As he spoke, the torn flesh on his face had already closed up on its own, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even notice the wound.

"It seems my plans do need to be changed," Magneto sighed in disappointment.

The original plan was to use machines to transform all the world leaders attending the global summit into mutants, but unexpectedly, the machines had such a significant flaw.

If he really wanted to kill someone, his own efficiency in controlling the steel to kill would be hundreds of times greater than that conversion machine with its side effects.

"It's alright. I've already promised to improve the living conditions of mutants. You just need to wait patiently."

“However, I think your strength also needs to be improved.” Bai Ye looked at Magneto and said, “How about this, you go and contact Kingpin and tell him that I instructed him to do this. He will know what to do.”

“Kingpin? That underworld emperor?” Magneto looked at Bai Ye in surprise, not expecting that he would be connected with Kingpin.

“Yes, your physical abilities are no different from a normal person’s. You can even be penetrated by a pistol. Go find Kingpin and let your skills improve.” Bai Ye said seriously.

In X-Men 3, Magneto, a Level 4 mutant, could have moved the Golden Gate Bridge, which weighs hundreds of thousands of tons, but he was turned into an ordinary human by a syringe because of his poor physical condition. This power imbalance is too outrageous.

Now that he's considered one of us, Bai Ye plans to send him to Kingpin for further studies, to perhaps acquire some kind of century-old true qi.

When the battle comes, you should create a three-foot-high barrier of energy like the Sweeping Monk to prevent sneak attacks, otherwise your weaknesses will be too obvious.

Although Bai Ye didn't know how well Kingpin's internal energy was progressing, seven days had already passed. Given Kingpin's efficiency, Bai Ye had no doubt that he had stored up a hundred or two hundred years' worth of true energy.

Bai Ye had just joined the Brotherhood of Mutants and immediately started assigning them tasks as if they were old friends, treating the place like his own home. Magneto, however, didn't mind at all and was happy to accept the assignments.

What's wrong with making Bai Ye the leader if it can improve the living conditions of mutants? If he wanted to enjoy himself, he had plenty of options; why would he need to work so hard every day?

"So what are you planning to do next?" Magneto asked.

“Of course I’ll go back to my factory and continue training for the rise of mutants,” Bai Ye laughed. “You just need to be patient for a year or two and wait for me to fully mature.”

"As for the fact that I am a mutant, I don't want the human government to know, to avoid unnecessary trouble." Bai Ye glanced at the group, then looked at Little Rascal beside him and said, "Let's go, leave here with me, and stay at my house from now on."

"Mmm." Little Mischief had just nodded when Bai Ye put him into the illusory space.

"It was a very pleasant meeting. If you encounter any problems, please feel free to contact me. I'll head back now." Bai Ye bid farewell to the group, then suddenly leaped up after creating a safe distance between them.

"Boom!" A huge shockwave shot into the sky, causing the group to stagger backward and squint. When they looked up, they saw a two-meter-wide crater in the ground, and a large hole in the ceiling, through which warm sunlight streamed in.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye had already stored his car, which he was driving on the island, into the illusory space, and relying on his superhuman physical abilities, he ran wildly across the sea.

Chapter 65 Smith's Narrative

At dusk, on a cruise ship off the coast of New York, several young men and women are partying together.

But one of the young men, gazing into the distance, suddenly asked in confusion, "Hey, look over there, it looks like something's happened. Has a bomb been detonated?"

Upon hearing the word "bomb," the others followed their companion's gaze and indeed, on the distant water, wave after wave was splashing wildly, as if a mine had exploded.

But what terrified them even more was that the splashing waves were hurtling toward them at high speed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

On the calm sea, Bai Ye stomped his right leg on the water. With the huge reaction force, his figure disappeared as if he had teleported. He broke through the wind resistance and reappeared seventy or eighty meters away.

Meanwhile, on the water surface where Bai Ye had been, the seawater surged skyward under pressure, creating waves several meters high.

With his body treading on the water at such a high frequency and moving at supersonic speed, the seawater, which is incredibly soft to ordinary people, is like flat ground under his feet, carrying him forward continuously.

This was the first time Bai Ye had unleashed his inner power so freely. After storing his phone and clothes into the ethereal space, he sped across the sea without any worries.

Noticing the cruise ship in the distance, Bai Ye paid it no mind. He was moving at near the speed of sound, and these guys could at most catch a glimpse of him as he moved, but they couldn't make out his face at all.

In a mere instant, Bai Ye's figure swept past the cruise ship and ran towards the shore, disappearing more than a thousand meters away in three seconds.

The terrified young men and women on the cruise ship were completely unaware that someone had just passed by. The sound effects, like depth charges, kept ringing in their ears, accompanied by strong winds and churning seawater, making it impossible for them to even open their eyes.

Three minutes later, Bai Ye returned to the vicinity of his factory. After taking out clothes from the virtual space and putting them on, Bai Ye opened the space and released Xiao Taoqi.

Little Rascal, who had been floating in the weightless void for a few minutes, was brought out and then saw Bai Ye smiling and saying, "We're back in New York now. I'll show you around the factory, which is where you'll train from now on."

“Okay, Mr. Bai.” Little Rascal nodded vigorously, now completely trusting Bai Ye.

"Boss, you're back." Inside the factory, Smith greeted Bai Ye upon seeing him.

“This is Smith, who currently works for me,” Bai Ye introduced them. “This is Mary, also a mutant. She will be living with me from now on. Tomorrow, buy a few hundred white mice so she can practice her abilities.”

"Oh, oh." Smith nodded, showing little prejudice against Rogue's mutant identity.

After all, he initially mistook Bai Ye for a mutant, and even now, he still thinks Camilla is a mutant with a physical defect who cannot be exposed to light.

'However, what will Camilla say if I just bring a beautiful young girl home like this?' Smith thought to himself without showing it. As an employee, it was best not to get involved in his boss's love life.

"Let's turn the machine on now." Bai Ye felt another wound torn open on his ankle by the rampage of his ability. He had to quickly increase his physique by 0.1 and then refresh his physical condition to offset the negative effects.

'However... if I let Camilla bite me and turn me into a vampire, can I directly refresh the negative effects like fear of light and garlic by improving my physique?' Bai Ye thought to himself.

If this can be achieved, then there will be a lot of room for maneuver.

Suppressing this thought, Bai Ye began to devote herself wholeheartedly to her training.

Soon, to Xiao Taoqi's astonishment, the steel behind him crushed Bai Ye's back and ankles with a pressure of forty or fifty tons. Then, a powerful electric current, visible to the naked eye, flashed across Bai Ye's body. Bai Ye then began to do a deadlift while holding an eighty-ton super-sized iron block.

"Boom boom boom, crackling crackling, creaking creaking..." Various sounds echoed in the empty factory.

Soon, wisps of white smoke began to rise from Bai Ye's body; this was formed after his flesh and blood were burned to two or three hundred degrees Celsius by the electric current.

"Mr. Bai, is this how you usually train?" Little Rascal looked at Bai Ye, who remained expressionless throughout, and couldn't help but ask Smith, who was operating the machine beside him.
