Tony Learns Kung Fu

The Quantum Realm, left too many plot holes in the movie from his previous life, is something Xia Yu doesn't understand either.

Some say this is actually a microcosm, where Pym Particles shrink a person to an infinitely small size.

Correspondingly, a single cell or a single atom could potentially be the size of a planet or even a universe, which is the origin of the Quantum Realm in the movie.

Xia Yu, for one, did not agree with this view. If that were the case, then the First-Generation Wasp shrunk herself on Missile. If the place where they conducted their experiments was shrunk to a certain extent, it would be separated from the Wasp by an unknown distance of countless universes, which is simply beyond human reach.

Not to mention the fact that the Quantum Realm has the property of connecting to different spacetimes.

Compared to these, Xia Yu preferred to believe that it was a singularity world connecting infinite spacetime and Parallel Universes, linking all known spacetime and universes, and that it could only be entered by shrinking to a certain size and breaking through the existing universe.

Of course, this was just Xia Yu's personal explanation, so in order not to embarrass himself in front of that stubborn old man Dr. Pym, he went to Tony for a refresher course.

The Avengers' scientists usually have their own personal labs, and they only team up when developing large-scale projects. If you need to contact Tony, you'll naturally go to his lab.

Tony's lab at the base was even more impressive than his basement at home. It served as his laboratory, gym, and home theater. Since Pepper Potts was often busy traveling around the world, it was also frequently used as her bedroom.

However, after Xia Yu gave him the Space Stone, he basically brought Pepper Potts back to sleep every night.

Xia Yu had access to Tony Labs, so he walked in without even saying hello.

Upon entering, they found Tony actually drinking tea. Instead of brewing a cup of tea leaves, he had set up a small tea table, the kind of very low table from ancient Huaxia, and Tony was kneeling behind it.

The coffee table not only had a large tea tray, but it was also filled with all kinds of tea sets, including a gaiwan, a teapot, a fairness cup, six gentlemen's cups, and even aroma-smelling cups.

There was even sandalwood incense burning on the ground.

Everything was arranged quite neatly, but with Tony's awkward kneeling posture, the various fitness equipment and freezers behind him, it all looked rather haphazard.

Xia Yu didn't come out; he hid behind the entrance passage, quietly watching what Tony was up to.

Tony had obviously been working on it for a while; at least he had already put the tea leaves in. When Xia Yu came in, the water had just boiled. Tony had his eyes closed at first, as if he were in a meditative state.

After the water boiled, the kettle beeped. Tony, looking rather pretentious, slowly opened his eyes, then took a deep breath, slightly opened his mouth, and slowly exhaled.

It looks exactly like the scene in a low-brow martial arts drama where someone finishes practicing their internal energy.

Reach out and slowly lift the kettle beside you, gently pouring hot water into the teapot.

They even knew to pour hot water over the outside of the kettle after putting the lid on.

Then comes rinsing the tea, pouring it into the fairness cup, and the aroma-smelling cup...

Anyway, Tony did all the usual procedures for drinking Kung Fu tea, but the deliberately slowed-down pace looked really awkward to Xia Yu.

After finally finishing brewing the tea, Tony picked up the teacup, gently drank a cup, then put the teacup down and slowly closed his eyes again.

Xia Yu still hasn't come out.

I'll just quietly watch you show off.

Really...

Less than two minutes later, Tony jumped up like a monkey, rubbing his knees and numb legs while muttering something.

"Damn it, this can calm my Mind Stone? My legs have been so uncomfortable, how can I possibly calm my Mind Stone?"

"Ha ha!!"

Xia Yu couldn't hold back any longer, so he walked in, pointed at Tony, and burst into laughter.

"Tony... do you dare tell me what you're doing? Hahaha, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. Why are you doing this to yourself?"

"Damn it, Xia, you were spying on me! Looks like I should change the lab's access permissions. Stop laughing, what's so funny?"

Tony was furious.

Xia Yu laughed Shang-Chi.

It took him a while to catch it, and he pointed to the pile of things on the ground and said to Tony.

"Did you know that there is a Chinese idiom called 'neither fish nor fowl'?"

"I don't understand the Huaxia language, so just say what you want to say."

Tony rolled his eyes at Xia Yu, opened the freezer, took out a bottle of beer, and downed half of it in one go.

'Ha!'

He exhaled a breath reeking of alcohol. "Beer is still the most satisfying drink. Now tell me what you meant by what you just said."

Tony said sullenly.

"So, to put it another way, it's like a wild monkey imitating a nobleman drinking coffee, do you understand what I mean?"

Tony rolled his eyes. "I knew you wouldn't say anything nice. You come here."

He plopped down on the ground, pointed to the tea set in front of him, and said to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu opened the teapot, glanced at the tea leaves inside, and slapped his forehead.

"My God, Tony, this is top-quality Longjing! And you just brewed it in a teapot like that? This tea is best drunk from a cup, and your water temperature is wrong too. Damn it, you're wasting it! Where did you get this tea?"

"Of course I took it from your room. Why would I go buy it when it's readily available? You said last time that this was the best tea you just bought from Huaxia."

Seeing Xia Yu's exasperated expression, Tony felt inexplicably happy.

"Alright!" Xia Yu immediately put away the tea canister in front of him, vowing never to leave tea outside again.

Then he took out some Pu'er and brewed it again.

"Tell me quickly, why are you drinking tea like this, and why are you using so many props?"

While Xia Yu was skillfully brewing tea, he asked Tony a question.

"I've recently been studying traditional Huaxia martial arts with a master."

Tony lowered his voice and said.

"Then what?"

Xia Yu looked up in surprise. Apart from learning a modified version of the Yi Jin Yijin Jing from him, Tony's close-quarters combat skills were actually practiced using artificial intelligence to simulate various martial arts techniques from around the world.

It's very simple, and with the combined benefits of the Armor and artificial intelligence, Xia Yu honestly thinks it's quite powerful.

"Don't look at me like that. You don't understand. This master is different. What I used to practice were just external moves. Now I'm learning Kung Fu that starts from the heart, something like 'dao'. Do you understand?"

This startled Xia Yu. Kung Fu similar to Daoism—how profound must it be? Had Tony encountered some hidden Hero or mastermind?

According to Huaxia tradition, it's correct to first carefully study something in order to learn its essence. However, Tony's method of careful study was flawed; he may have been watching some random videos online that suggested drinking tea could help with this.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What did that master teach you? Could you demonstrate it for me? I want to see what kind of Kung Fu it is that's so powerful."

Tony became interested upon hearing this. He had originally planned to learn it and surprise Xia Yu, but now that he had already said it, he figured he might as well demonstrate it in front of Xia Yu and see if Xia Yu could figure it out.

He had spent a long time using artificial intelligence to deduce the results without success. The master told him that he needed to calm his mind first, but he just couldn't reach the spiritual state the master described. Maybe Xia Yu has another method he can learn.

Thinking of this, Tony immediately stood up, his feet firmly planted, and focused his energy.

Xia Yu watched from the sidelines, nodding to himself in approval; the posture was quite impressive.

Then...

Tony roared and spread his arms out, swinging them wildly as if he were having a seizure.

He was also shouting a few words in the Huaxia language.

"Wulianbian!!!"

After finishing the routine, Tony stood with his feet together, raised his hands to his chest with palms down, and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air as he pressed his palms down.

Xia Yu stood there dumbfounded!
