Chapter 15 Tony Stark's Doubts
"Ah!!!" Pepper Potts, who happened to come down and witnessed the last scene, let out a shocking scream and ran straight towards Tony Stark regardless of JARVIS's obstruction.
Tony Stark's appearance at this time was even worse than Xia Yu's when he had loaded the Yi Jin Jing.
His whole body was covered in black, with blood and toxins.
Some of them were discharged at the beginning, and some were discharged at the last moment, so some had stuck to his clothes, and were also all over his hair and beard.
"Oh my God, Tony, what did you do to him?" Pepper saw Tony was a little out of his mind and yelled at Xia Yu.
"Calm down, Pepper, calm down, Tony is fine, he just looks a little embarrassed. I'll wake him up and you can ask him yourself." Xia Yu quickly reached out and woke Tony up.
"Oh my God, Tony, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?" Pepper hugged Tony and started asking about his condition as soon as he opened his eyes.
"Oh, damn, what happened? What's all this on me? I'm fine, honey, don't cry, I'm fine." Tony was a little panicked when he saw Pepper crying.
"I just helped Tony clean the inside of his body so that you can understand more easily.
Some dirt will come out through the pores.
I suggest you two take a shower first, and then we can figure out what happened while we have breakfast together.
To be honest, it's not romantic at all for you two to hug each other like this.
Pepper, can't you smell the smell on Tony? Doesn't he smell like a sewer pipe that has just been removed?"
Xia Yu said with a smile.
Pepper finally reacted, smelled the smell, looked at the smell on her body and screamed, "Ah!" and ran away. Tony also frowned and said, "Xia, I'll settle the score with you later." Then he hurried away.
As the richest man in the United States and even the world's richest man, Tony Stark's bedroom naturally has a large bathroom.
He just took a shower for half an hour to clean all the stains on his body, especially on his hair.
At this moment, he was soaking naked in a file-sized round bathtub of four or five square meters.
"JARVIS, play the footage from the lab." Tony Stark said to the air.

"Yes, sir." As JARVIS answered, a completely transparent screen rose up at the end of the bathtub, showing the scene of Xia Yu washing Tony's marrow and meridians in the laboratory.
"Wow! This is so cool, what is this? Some kind of super ability?" As the scenes played, especially the last scene where Xia Yu used his inner force to lift Tony up, Tony shouted exaggeratedly.
"Check my physical condition." Tony Stark said again.
As soon as he finished speaking, a curtain of light slid across the entire bathtub from front to back, including the area under the water.
After a brief pause, JARVIS's humane voice sounded again: "Sir, the scan results show that your body strength has not changed, but the condition of all your organs and muscles is very perfect.
What I mean is that your body is very clean now, just like a newborn baby."
Tony Stark definitely understood what this sentence meant.
As people are born and grow up, their bodies will gradually oxidize.
Breathing air and eating various foods will also produce various impurities in various organs and even blood vessels and bone marrow.
JARVIS said that his body was as clean as a newborn baby, which was too exaggerated.
"One more thing, sir, your current metabolic rate is about the average for 16 or 17 year olds," JARVIS added. Tony ignored JARVIS's words and asked again, "Have you detected Xia's physical condition?"
"Sir, the laboratory doesn't have special testing equipment. I can only detect that when Mr. Xia was treating you, there was a very dense energy activity in his body. It is not any kind of energy known now." JARVIS said.
"This situation is different from what Pepper described."
Tony Stark muttered to himself.
Tony Stark certainly trusted Pepper unconditionally, but for a person with superpowers or super abilities, when he treated himself for the first time, he didn't have any intention of hiding his abilities.
What exactly did he want to do?
Xia Yu, who has the system, has a +30 bonus to favorability towards plot characters.
This is not a percentage, it is just +30.
Perhaps even Xia Yu herself has not discovered the amazingness of this function.
Well, the full favorability is 100.
It is unlikely that such a favorability will appear between two humans, because 100 means that you like everything about him, which is unlikely for human individuals with relatively independent personalities.
Generally speaking, the favorability between couples in love is between 70-85, and this becomes more and more difficult as time goes by, because there are always things about others that you don't like or agree with.
For example, two strangers who have never met each other will have a 10 point favorability when they smile at each other, and may have 30 points of goodwill when they have a meal or a drink together.
However, after eating together for a month and playing together every day, the favorability may not reach 50.
So this standard becomes more and more difficult as time goes by.
However, the bonus given to Xia Yu by the system is independent.
For example, when Xia Yu met Natasha Romanoff, the system gave her 30 points of favorability when they met.
However, if Xia Yu had a meal with her and had a very happy chat, it would still be directly +30.
For an ordinary person, 30 points of favorability is normal for a friend to meet at a party, but Xia Yu has an extra 30 points of favorability from the system, which can reach 60 points at once, which is amazing.
To put it bluntly, some couples whose relationship is not very good only have a favorability of 60.

So Xia Yu and Tony Stark had a meal and drank wine together, and their favorability was already very high.
So even though Tony Stark felt something was wrong, he did not suspect Xia Yu of any bad intentions.
First, it was the trust that favorability brought him, and second, looking at the footage played by JARVIS, if Xia Yu wanted to hurt him with her ability, she would not have waited until now.
As for whether she had any purpose in approaching him, first, it was affected by favorability, and second, Tony could not think of it for the time being.
If it was because of money, sorry, Tony Stark really didn't care.
If having money allowed one to be willful, Tony Stark could be willful to the point of being annoying.
In fact, he did that before becoming Iron Man.
Based on the above reasons, Tony Stark played the footage of the two of them in the laboratory in front of Xia Yu while they were having breakfast.
Pepper also exclaimed after watching it.
When she entered the laboratory, her mind was full of the image of Tony with blood gushing out of his body.
She completely ignored the fact that Tony was floating in the air.
It might also be because there were too many tables in the laboratory blocking Tony's legs, so she didn't see it clearly enough.
"What is this? Super Ability? Or superpower?" Tony asked straight to the point.
Xia Yu was not surprised. Having seen the movie, he definitely knew JARVIS's ability, not to mention that Tony had specially introduced it to him yesterday. It was precisely because of this that Tony felt that Xia Yu did not dodge and it would be better for him to get straight to the point.
"This is a Huxia martial art, Kung Fu, do you know this word? It cultivates a kind of energy in the body!" Xia Yu said.
"I definitely know Kung Fu, Bruce Lee, I even learned Wing Chun for a while, but it doesn't seem so magical, I think it's just a kind of fighting technique."
Tony Stark said. (Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee appeared on a T-shirt of Iron Man in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Wing Chun refers to the fact that the actor of Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr., has learned Wing Chun in real life.
Let's put it in.)
"That's just the Elementary level, where you practice moves and learn muscle strength techniques.
The more advanced level is to absorb energy from food and air, transform the body, strengthen the body, store energy, and use energy in different ways.
You can think of it as magic, but the expression is different, so you can understand it better this way."
Tony nodded and said, "That's a very detailed description.
I completely understand what you mean.
But why do you show this ability that is not easily seen by the world without any scruples in front of me? Although we chatted very speculatively, I admit that I have a different kind of liking for you, definitely not that kind.
Don't get me wrong, I still like beautiful women.
What I want to say is that although we get along very well, it still cannot change the fact that this is our first meeting.
It seems that you should not show your ability in front of me.
As far as I know, you did not use your so-called martial arts when you treated Pepper or others."
