Just arrived at Marvel, the system rewards the Man of Steel

“Touch them with your energy, but don’t force it. Let them respond naturally.”

Wanda took a deep breath, and crimson energy flowed out from her fingertips, reaching out to the golden runes like a living thing.

The moment the two came into contact, the entire space in the training room suddenly distorted for a moment, and the walls began to fluctuate like liquid.

"I...I did it?" Wanda looked at her hands in surprise.

"No, you're just imitating." Xiao Han shook his head.

"True reality bending requires no runes. Close your eyes and visualize the thing you wish to change."

Wanda closed her eyes again, her brows furrowed slightly.

A few seconds later, the air in front of her suddenly rippled, and a red teacup slowly took shape, with traditional Sokovia patterns printed on the cup wall.

"very good."

Xiao Han picked up the teacup and squeezed it gently. The cup instantly turned into countless points of light and dissipated.

"But remember, creating something out of nothing consumes a lot of energy. Until you have full control, it's best to start by changing existing objects."

He snapped his fingers, and a metal target rose in the center of the training room. "Try to turn it into something else."

Wanda concentrated, and crimson energy surged towards the target.

The metal surface began to wriggle, gradually transforming into a giant steel rose with petals as sharp as knives.

"Not bad." Xiao Han gave an encouraging smile.

"Now let it fly."

Wanda flicked her fingers slightly, and the Iron Rose slowly rose into the air, but suddenly lost control two meters above the ground, spinning and crashing into the wall. Xiao Han raised his hand and formed a golden barrier to block it.

"You're not in control enough." He walked over to Wanda and gently pressed her shoulders.

“Feel the flow of energy; it’s as natural as breathing.”

Wanda's shoulders trembled slightly, and sweat slid down her cheeks: "It's too difficult, it always wants to break free..."

"Because you are afraid." Xiao Han's voice suddenly softened.

"Chaos magic amplifies emotions, especially negative ones. The more you fear losing control, the more violent it becomes."

Wanda looked up at him puzzledly: "How do you know I'm scared?"

Xiao Han pointed to the Mind Gem necklace on her chest: "It's telling me. Every time you use your ability, your childhood memories will surface. The pain, anger, and helplessness are affecting you."

Wanda bit her lower lip, and her crimson energy unconsciously became restless.

"look at me."

Xiao Han looked directly into her eyes. "Those experiences shaped you, but they shouldn't define you. Pain can be a strength, but it can never be a shackle."

The training room fell into a brief silence.

Outside the window, the waves gently hit the beach, and the regular sound seemed to be a kind of comfort.

"Again."

Xiao Han finally said, waving his hand to reset the metal target. "This time, don't think about controlling the magic, but channeling it."

Wanda took a deep breath and slowly raised her hands.

This time, the crimson energy was no longer violent, but gently enveloped the target like mist.

Ripples appeared on the metal surface, gradually transforming into a lifelike red cardinal, flapping its wings and flying into the air. After circling in the training room, it landed steadily on Wanda's outstretched finger.

"I, succeeded?" Wanda looked at the bird on her fingertips in disbelief.

Xiao Han raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Better than you think. Now, let it sing."

Wanda wrinkled her nose. "Isn't that too much to ask?"

The cardinal suddenly tilted its head and let out a series of crisp chirps, the tones of which perfectly replicated the folk songs that Wanda's mother often hummed when she was a child.

Wanda's eyes instantly moistened. The red cardinal vanished into a crimson speck of light, but the smile on her face lingered.

"Remember this feeling." Xiao Han's voice was rare and gentle.

"Magic originates from emotion, but requires reason to control it. You keep practicing, and we'll continue tomorrow."

He turned and walked towards the door.

"Xiao Han." Wanda suddenly called him.

"Thank you... for not just training."

Xiao Han didn't look back, but just waved his hand: "Come on, tomorrow will be harder."

As the door to the training room gently closed, Wanda looked down at the Mind Gem on her chest, her fingertips lightly touching its surface.

The gem glowed slightly, as if responding to her touch.

"Turing?" she called softly.

"At your service at any time, Miss Maximov." The voice of the AI ​​butler sounded immediately.

"Can you help me find some Sokovian folk songs? The kind... my mother used to sing."

"Of course. We've found 37 traditional folk songs. Do you want to play them now?"

Wanda nodded and walked towards the French window. The afterglow of the setting sun cast a warm orange-red hue on the sea.

A soft melody flowed through the room, a tune she thought she had long forgotten.

Surrounded by the musical notes, Wanda felt for the first time that the pain buried deep in her heart no longer seemed so heavy.

At the same time, Xiao Han was lying on a sun lounger on the terrace on the top floor of the villa, looking out at the gradually darkening sea level.

In his hand, he held the Mind Stone he brought back from the Zombie Universe, but his thoughts drifted even further.

Chapter 51 Bio-Force Field Advanced

[Ding! The host's current growth points have been detected and can be exchanged for mall items.]

The system's prompt sounded in Xiao Han's mind, interrupting his thoughts.

He opened his eyes slightly, and gently stroked the surface of the soul gem with his fingers. The dim yellow light reflected in his pupils.

"System, call up the exchange list."

[Ding! Mall items have been updated. Here are the recommended redemption options:]

[Kryptonian Bio-Force Field Advanced Module (Point), strengthens the bio-force field defense, and can resist dimensional attacks. (The host can also upgrade slowly.)]

[Doomsday cell sample (point), after fusion, gain Doomsday-level regeneration and evolution capabilities.]

[Anti-Monitor Armor (dot), multiverse-level armor, capable of fighting against the Supreme Being. ]

Xiao Han's eyes swept across the list and finally stopped at the first item. This was the only one he could afford.

"Exchange for the Kryptonian Bio-Force Field Advanced Module."

[Ding! Exchange successful, remaining growth points: points.]

[Beginning to merge...]

In an instant, a burst of hot energy burst out from Xiao Han's body, and golden light flowed on the surface of his skin like liquid.

He groaned, his muscles slightly tensed, feeling the drastic changes at the cellular level.

The structure of the bio-force field was being reorganized, and the originally invisible barrier gradually solidified, even forming a faint golden halo around him.

【Fusion completed.】

Xiao Han exhaled slowly, raised his hand and clenched his fist lightly.

"Buzz!"

The air vibrated in his palm, and the strength of the biological force field increased several times. He could even feel the subtle fluctuations in the surrounding space.

"Not bad." He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "At least if we encounter a Dimension Devourer, we won't be helpless."

He looked up at the sky and saw the sun shining on his body, feeling as comfortable as taking a hot spring bath.

Gradually, he closed his eyes.

Time passed by little by little, and the afterglow of the setting sun gilded his well-defined profile.

He closed his eyes, breathing evenly and deeply, his chest under his black short-sleeved shirt rising and falling slightly with his breathing, and the lines of every muscle were as perfect as those of ancient Greek sculptures.

Wanda came to the terrace at some point. She stood aside, her eyes unconsciously falling on Xiao Han.

The sea breeze gently blew through her red hair. She looked at Xiao Han sleeping, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

This man is powerful and mysterious, yet he gives her a sense of security that she has never had before in subtle ways.

He saved her from hell, taught her to control her power, and was even... willing to understand her past.

Thinking of this, Wanda's heartbeat quickened slightly, and her fingertips moved unconsciously.

"His eyelashes are so long..."

This thought suddenly popped up in her mind, and then she found it a little funny.

But he couldn't take his eyes off Xiao Han's face.

As if possessed by a ghost, she slowly stretched out her hand, her fingertips moving towards Xiao Han's cheek.

The sound of her heartbeat was amplified in her ears, and crimson energy flickered slightly at her fingertips, as if revealing her little thoughts.

Just when her fingers were about to touch Xiao Han.

"If you want to touch me, do it openly. Don't do it when I'm asleep."

Xiao Han suddenly spoke, his eyes still closed, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

Wanda's hand suddenly froze in mid-air, her cheeks flushed instantly, and crimson energy exploded into a small ball of sparks.

"I, I just..." She stammered and tried to defend herself, but saw Xiao Han slowly open his eyes, his golden pupils flickering in the sunset, with a mischievous smile.

"Just what?" He raised his chin lazily.

Wanda withdrew her hand in embarrassment, a blush spreading from her cheeks to her ears: "I just saw there was a mosquito on your face!"

"Oh?" Xiao Han raised his eyebrows and smiled even more deeply.

"Would you like to help me take it off?"

She stammered and tried to pull her hand back, but Xiao Han gently pulled her, causing her to lose balance and fall into his arms.

Xiao Han's voice rang in her ears: "It's easier to see from this distance."

Wanda hurriedly propped herself up, but was stunned the moment she met his gaze.

Her figure was clearly reflected in those calm eyes.

"Why are you running?" Xiao Han chuckled, with a lazy teasing tone in his voice.

"I didn't say I wouldn't let you touch me."

Wanda's heart skipped a beat, and crimson energy flowed uncontrollably around her body, just like her owner's panicked mood at the moment.

"I didn't!" She broke free from his hand, blushed, and walked away quickly. Her back almost looked like she was running away.

Xiao Han watched her figure disappear at the stairs, chuckled, and lay back in the chair with his hands behind his head.

"Turing," he called casually.

"Yes, sir." The AI ​​butler's voice sounded gently.

"Raise the difficulty level in the training room by one level." Xiao Han still had that playful smile on his face.

"It saves someone from having too much energy and always thinking about random things."

Wanda, who had just reached the stairwell, rolled her eyes when she heard this.

"I'm not afraid." A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Han came to the underground laboratory. The nanotechnology automatically sensed his arrival and the lights came on one by one, illuminating this advanced space that was comparable to Stark Industries' R&D center.

He raised his hand and waved, and a holographic projection unfolded on the central workbench.

The data stream of the [Krypton Technology Complete Set] rewarded by the system flowed in the air like a galaxy.

"Turing, establish an independent database with the highest encryption level." Xiao Han tapped his fingertips, and the data stream began to be classified and reorganized.
