John! John, what's wrong with you?" Iceman Bobby and Rogue Anna looked at the motionless Pyro John with surprise and a little hesitation, then turned their gazes to Huang Wen.
Iceman Bobby and Rogue Anna had witnessed similar abilities before. Once, Pyro John had a conflict with a normal person and used his mutant abilities, exposing his identity.
At that moment, everyone around them suddenly froze. That was Charles's psychic ability, controlling the bodies of everyone nearby. And now, the motionless Pyro John was just like those people!
Therefore, Iceman Bobby and Rogue Anna subconsciously believed that Huang Wen was also a psychic. And not only did the two of them think so, but even Bruce Banner thought the same.
"This is Kung Fu, Chinese Kung Fu, not mutant ability, and he is not a mutant," Logan, who considered himself the most knowledgeable about Huang Wen, explained to the others.
"Kung Fu? Kung Fu can grant such powerful abilities?" Bruce Banner looked at Logan with some disbelief, but then, remembering Logan's true age, Bruce Banner fell silent.
"Kid, of all people you could mess with, you had to mess with my current boss. Don't you know I'm working for him now?" Logan dragged Pyro John into the martial arts gym and threw him on the floor. "After the boss unfreezes you, you'd best apologize to him honestly!"
"What a pity," Huang Wen thought with some regret. If he had released the mission earlier, he would have at least received one extraordinary lottery draw by now. But alas, Pyro John was too annoying, and Huang Wen couldn't hold back at that moment.
In fact, Pyro John was a typical representative of adolescent arrogance and restlessness. Having only recently awakened his abilities, he was definitely at the stage where he loved to show off the most.
However, the teaching style at the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters at that time was completely at odds with Pyro John's personality. This was also why Pyro John would later defect to Magneto's side.
"Boss, give me some face, unfreeze him, okay?" Logan, seeing that Huang Wen hadn't understood the implication of his previous words, leaned closer to Huang Wen and whispered, "He's someone I brought here, after all, right?"
"Alright," Huang Wen pondered for a moment and nodded. Huang Wen believed that given Pyro John's recent behavior, he would definitely come up to challenge him again. At that time, wouldn't it be wonderful to release the mission then?
Huang Wen's finger became a blur, instantly unfreezing Pyro John from a distance. Then he waited for Pyro John to erupt, and Huang Wen had even brought up the mission page, ready to release the mission.
"So strong!" Pyro John's eyes lit up as he looked at Huang Wen, various emotions like fear and admiration flashing in his eyes, yet he showed no intention of continuing to fight Huang Wen.
"What's going on? He's not fighting anymore?" Huang Wen's plan from the previous second instantly fell through in the next. Huang Wen didn't know that Pyro John was originally the kind of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong… *cough*… or rather, admired the strong.
Another important reason for Pyro John becoming Magneto's subordinate was Magneto's sufficiently powerful strength, which subconsciously made Pyro John admire him.
"You don't need mutant abilities to be this strong? Can you teach me?" Pyro John soon spoke, and his words, far from continuing to provoke Huang Wen, were quite respectful.
"John! What are you saying? You are a student of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, how can you ask an outsider for guidance? And a normal person at that…" Iceman Bobby heard Pyro John's words and immediately became anxious, whispering to Pyro John as a reminder.
"These are the students Charles teaches?" Huang Wen shook his head in disappointment. Originally, the impulsive Pyro John wasn't very likable, but he hadn't expected Iceman Bobby's views to be so ridiculous.
It should be known that Iceman Bobby was an important successor to the X-Men, with unlimited potential, but with such views, looking down on ordinary people, how was he any different from those ordinary people who harbored hatred?
However, indeed, among the X-Men, there wasn't a single individual with comprehensive leadership abilities. Every X-Man had their own shortcomings.
Even Cyclops, the leader of the X-Men, had an attitude towards humans somewhat similar to Iceman Bobby, or rather, Iceman Bobby might have learned from Cyclops.
"How dare you disrespect Professor Charles!" Iceman Bobby's expression changed upon hearing this, and he suddenly waved his hand towards Huang Wen, a surge of ice power spreading through the air, chilling the entire space.
At this moment, Huang Wen was not angry but pleased. He hadn't expected that while he couldn't get anything from Pyro John, he actually had a chance to get something from his initially planned target, Iceman Bobby.
"Release mission: Defeat Iceman." Huang Wen instantly released the mission, or rather, Huang Wen's mission page had never closed, always waiting to release a new mission.
"Generating mission: Defeat Iceman Bobby. Reward: One Legendary Skill Lottery Draw. Accept?"
"Accept!" Huang Wen's heart was filled with joy. Iceman Bobby, as he had expected, could indeed trigger a Legendary-level lottery draw. Huang Wen, using the "Stealthy Steps on Snow" light-foot technique, instantly vanished from his spot and then quickly accepted the mission.
"Hmm? So fast!" Logan's eyes narrowed slightly. The speed Huang Wen unleashed at that moment was too fast for even his eyesight to clearly see his figure, but Logan's beastly senses could still perceive Huang Wen's location.
"Hmm? Not good!" The moment Huang Wen disappeared, Iceman Bobby's pupils suddenly constricted, and then he stomped his foot on the ground, and four ice walls instantly enveloped him.
"Your reaction is quite fast, but I haven't been idle during this time!" A smile appeared on Huang Wen's lips.
For powerful abilities, such as Bai Zhantang's various martial arts, Huang Wen hadn't seen much improvement, but for Ah Xing's abilities, Huang Wen had made great progress, such as the brand-new version of "Striking the Ox Through the Mountain."
With a "swish!", Huang Wen threw a punch, striking the ice wall.
"My ice wall isn't that easy to break! Unless you have Mr. Hulk's strength!" Iceman Bobby, with a confident smile on his face within the ice wall, was about to continue his attack.
With a "bang!", Iceman Bobby was instantly hit hard, his body smashing through another ice wall, and he flew out, landing on the ground in a disheveled state.
"This?" Iceman Bobby didn't understand. The ice wall in front of him was clearly fine, so how could he have suddenly flown out? It couldn't be that Huang Wen's punch penetrated the ice wall and directly hit him, could it?
"What kind of Kung Fu is this?" This time, even Logan was stunned. He scratched his head in confusion. Huang Wen's displayed strength was becoming increasingly powerful, and the techniques he used were becoming more and more mystical.
"This move is called 'Striking the Ox Through the Mountain,'" Huang Wen said with a faint smile, looking at Iceman Bobby who was lying on the ground. "Now, have you learned it?"
