Obtaining a New Ability

"Your strength has increased by about double, kid. Thanks."

Logan pumped his fist, his face beaming with excitement and gratitude.

Who wouldn't want to become stronger without side effects?

Kino considered the decline of Logan's healing factor in old age, partly believing that the Adamantium was toxic, and partly that it might be due to genetically modified food.

"Try your healing ability; it should change something too."

Without a word, Logan extended his steel claws and struck the arm.

A metallic clanging sound rang out, and three bloody, torn wounds appeared on his arm, revealing silver bone underneath. Before any blood could flow out, the wounds began to heal themselves.

In just a few seconds, the wound was completely healed, and the skin became smooth as before.

"The healing ability has also improved; it used to take more than ten seconds."

Kino realized that it should be said that he had recovered.

Scott also opened the small box in front of him, which contained Enhancement Potion, and injected them directly.

"Your Majesty, what is this?" Qin looked at the small jar in the box with some confusion; it didn't seem like a potion.

"This is youth, you can use it sparingly, you can use it for a long time. I originally wanted to give you Enhancement Potion."

"But after thinking about it, that medicine had some side effects, so I changed it for you to this one," Kino explained patiently.

Are there any side effects? I feel great.

Logan raised his arm, his muscles bulging, displaying his strength.

"Ah! What's wrong with my body?" A scream came from the side, and the group quickly looked over.

Scott was originally of average build, became burly, his well-fitting clothes stretched taut, and he seemed to have instantly grown a size larger.

"That's a side effect. Logan is already very muscular, so you can't tell," Kino said with a helpless shrug.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Scott was on the verge of tears.

"I was going to say something, but Logan interrupted me." Kino spread his hands, looking completely innocent.

Logan sidled up to Scott and patted him on the shoulder.

"Isn't this much better? You look much better than that skinny chicken you used to be."

"Real?"

Scott looked at Jean, wondering if she liked him the way he was now.

They froze instantly.

Qin gently kissed Kino's face.

Thank you, I really like your gift.

Logan saw it too and comforted him, "Give up! You can't beat him."

Scott felt as if his heart had shattered into countless pieces. He stood there, frozen in place, his eyes filled with despair.

Charles stared at the azure-blue potion in front of him.

"Limb Regeneration Potion."

"That's right, your legs are still there. The reason you're in a wheelchair is probably a neurological issue. The Limb Regeneration Potion is most suitable for you." Kino wiped the lipstick off his face.

"Thank you, Kino." Charles was touched, his eyes slightly reddening.

"Don't be shy, I'll give you the injection." Kino picked up the medicine, flicked open the syringe, and plunged it into Charles's neck.

No one stopped them; once they confirmed that Kino would become the king of Mutants, they had already chosen to trust him.

Charles closed his eyes and waited quietly for the medicine to take effect.

Charles gradually felt his legs getting warm and tingly.

For so many years, ever since I was put in a wheelchair, I haven't been able to feel my legs.

That long-lost touch made his heart race and his breathing quicken.

As the tingling sensation in his legs began to subside, Charles opened his eyes, slowly stretched out one leg and stepped onto the ground; he could move again.

His hands trembled slightly, his eyes glistened with tears of excitement, and his lips trembled slightly with excitement.

Then, supporting himself on the wheelchair, he stood up unsteadily and began to walk, holding onto the table for support.

At first, he was a little unaccustomed to it, his steps were unsteady and his body swayed, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, refusing to be helped by others.

After a while, he was able to walk normally again. His steps became more and more steady, and his face was filled with indescribable joy, as if he had been reborn.

Qin and the others looked at Professor X with excitement. Over the years, Professor X had become no different from their elder.

Their eyes were filled with joy and relief, and they were genuinely happy that the professor had stood up again.

"Charles, you don't need this wheelchair anymore, can you give it to me?"

Kino, who had somehow gotten into a wheelchair, was manipulating the joystick to move forward and backward, a mischievous smile on his face.

Moreover, this wheelchair can actively adjust the backrest cushion to perfectly fit the user's body, making it very comfortable.

The group then realized that the demon king before them was just a child who had just come of age.

Qin felt somewhat guilty for placing such a heavy burden on Kino, and she secretly blamed herself.

"Of course, you've already given me a better pair."

Charles smiled kindly; Kino's aura had been so strong that even he hadn't realized it before.

"Yo-ho, I'm going out to have some fun."

Kino eagerly maneuvered his wheelchair out the door, his excited expression like that of a child who had just received a new toy, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Let's go too," Charles said with a smile, his expression gentle and composed.

"Professor, there's still one box here that hasn't been opened." Scott pointed to a box, a look of confusion on his face.

"That belongs to someone else."

After saying that, Charles pushed open the door and walked out, followed by the others one after another.

After everyone left, a person climbed in through the window; it was the female reporter who had asked the question earlier.

Her movements were light and agile, and she landed almost without making a sound.

Upon opening the box, one finds two bottles of green potion and a note.

"Healing Potion."

The female reporter picked up the note and glanced at it.

Please persuade Old Man to read more books on architecture; I have several hundred million yuan worth of projects waiting for him.

"Old Man? That's an interesting nickname."

The female reporter murmured softly, a smile playing on her lips.

She picked up the box, her figure blurred, and she transformed into a maid she had seen before, hurrying towards the exit.

But he didn't notice her shadow flicker slightly.

Kino, who was speeding around in his wheelchair in the plaza outside, stopped, looked at Professor X's image on the core, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Strength, speed, Mind Stone —I have no weaknesses left. It's been a truly rewarding experience."

Venom escaped and sat on Kino's lap.

"So why didn't you choose to copy the Phoenix Force's power? It's much stronger!"

Venom asked, puzzled.

Kino, with his arm around Venom's waist, basked in the sun and lazily replied:

"The Phoenix Force is an energy entity, merely residing within Jean. We most likely cannot replicate it, and it might even alert her, arousing Charles and the others' resentment and vigilance. It's not worth it."

"Not bad either. Anyway, that girl will enter your harem sooner or later, and then we can use the Phoenix Force at will." Venom chuckled.

"Who can predict the future? Let's just let nature take its course."

The most important thing now is to consolidate and strengthen our existing capabilities in order to cope with any potential crises.
