"Wait, you said before that you and my Thunder Force are incompatible. You're not afraid of Thunder Force, are you?!" Peter Parker's expression stiffened upon hearing Venom's explanation. Then, as if remembering something, he quickly looked at Venom and asked again.

"Well, compared to fire and sound waves, I'm not as afraid of Thunder Force, but Thunder Force can also produce fire and sound waves, so I'm also somewhat averse to this power..." Venom said weakly, looking at Peter Parker.

"You're afraid of ordinary flames?!" Peter Parker gritted his teeth and asked seriously.

"Flames? What's ordinary about them?" Venom said innocently. "This isn't just a weakness of me, but of all Symbiote. Only our god doesn't have this Symbiote Symbiote these powers. This is something I can't tolerate..."

"Then what use are you!" Peter Parker instantly realized Venom's weakness. If it was only afraid of supernatural powers like fire and sound waves, Peter Parker could accept it a little. After all, Peter Parker hadn't encountered any supernatural beings with sound wave abilities yet, and Peter Parker only knew one supernatural being with fire abilities: Johnny Storm.

Although there are many Hell Demon who possess fire abilities, Peter Parker can simply avoid attacking Demon with such abilities and stay away from fire users like Johnny Storm.

However, Venom is not afraid of supernatural forces like fire and sound waves. Even ordinary fire and sound waves can affect Venom. This means that a simple Flamethrower is enough to completely restrain Venom!

It's important to understand that Flamethrower aren't exactly cutting-edge equipment. At least within organizations like Hydra, such equipment is considered entry-level, and its rarity doesn't necessarily rival that of more expensive firearms!

Sonic weapons are a bit rarer than Flamethrower, at least for now, they're all bulky and rarely seen in normal combat. But even so, it doesn't mean that Venom's weakness in this area can be ignored. After all, sonic noise is just too common, Peter Parker has no way of knowing exactly where Venom's tolerance for sonic noise is.

If the sound of an explosion alone could deter Venom, then Peter Parker might never be able to fight alongside Johnny Storm on the same battlefield again. He would not only have to overcome Venom's terror of fire, but also prevent Venom from hearing the sound of Johnny Storm's fire explosions—that would be incredibly difficult.

It's important to know that Johnny Storm's flames aren't normal flames; they're Explosive Flames, designed for powerful explosions and loud noises. In fact, this ability of Johnny Storm's is a perfect counter to Venom and the Symbiote!

With a "pfft!", Johnny Storm, who was watching Peter Parker talk to Venom, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Unlike previous interactions between Peter Parker and Venom where only Peter Parker's voice could be heard, this time Venom poked its head out to communicate, so everyone could hear their conversation. This made Johnny Storm, who had initially thought something had happened to Peter Parker, burst out laughing after learning the truth.

Not only Johnny Storm, but the Avengers outside the Training Room also burst into laughter. They hadn't expected that the seemingly ferocious Venom would have such a weakness. If this Symbiote's racial weakness were revealed, even ordinary people might be able to fight against Symbiote with superhuman strength.

"I told you not to fight Johnny, and now look what's happened! Everyone knows my weakness, how am I supposed to survive now!" Venom's head drooped instantly after hearing the laughter around him, and he looked at Peter Parker with some resentment.

"Do you think you can hide this weakness for long?" Peter Parker glared at Venom, then looked towards the outside of the Training Room. He finally understood why Venom had been so cautious and seemingly weak in front of Robet. It was because Robet possessed all the abilities that Venom feared, including sound waves. Besides Explosive Flames, the explosions of his Ki Blast blasts were equally devastating. In addition to overwhelming Venom's strength, Robet also had various other abilities that could easily defeat Venom!

"Um, are we still going to fight?" Johnny Storm asked with a smile, looking at Peter Parker and Venom. "Or Peter you going to use your own powers to fight me, Peter? By the way, when Venom isn't transformed into the combat suit and is dormant inside you, is it impossible for him to give you any power boosts?"

"Yes, but it's not very high, only slightly better than when I checked my physical condition before." Peter Parker sighed helplessly when he heard Johnny Storm's question and explained softly.

It wasn't that Peter Parker didn't want to fight Johnny Storm at this moment; it was simply that his current strength didn't allow it. Without the power boost from Venom, it would be very difficult for Peter Parker to defeat Johnny Storm on his own. After all, Johnny Storm was simply too great; if he were hit even once, Peter Parker wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Unless Peter Parker can land the first hit on Johnny Storm, whose defense isn't Johnny Storm high, he'll have a chance to defeat him if he can hit Johnny Storm first, but that won't be easy.

Even in this Training Room, Johnny Storm's attack range is still greater than Peter Parker's. Especially since Peter Parker 'Peter Parker physical strength has improved somewhat, the presence of Venom still prevents him from properly utilizing his Thunder Force, which actually reduces his overall combat effectiveness.

"Alright then, let's end this sparring session here!" Johnny Storm shrugged, looking at Peter Parker. "I told you to get used to your strength first, and it seems my advice was right!"

"That's the only way..." Peter Parker glared at Venom's head beside him and said helplessly.

"Want to try again? Or, you can fight me. I don't know any fire or sonic attacks..." As the Training Room door opened, Pietro's eyes darted around, and he looked at Peter Parker, challenging him to a duel.

"..." Hearing Pietro's words, Peter Parker opened his mouth, intending to agree, but upon seeing Venom's head beside him, Peter Parker could only helplessly stop. "Never mind, I'll wait until I've properly studied Venom's abilities before saying anything!"

"What are you afraid of? It's just a little Pietro! Take him down! You really don't take me, Venom, seriously? Today I'll show this little Pietro what I, Venom, am capable of! Peter, if you won't fight, I will. Dealing with him is a piece of cake, isn't it?" However, just as Peter Parker began to back down, Venom jumped out and taunted Pietro with a face full of disdain.

It's absolutely true to say that Venom jumped out, because a large part of Venom's body suddenly extended out from Peter Parker's body, looking extremely bizarre.

"Wow! That's great!" Pietro's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked at Venom and invited, "Shall we go? Shall we go into the Training Room and have a good fight?"

"Pietro, what are you doing?" Peter Parker's body didn't move. At this moment, Peter Parker was still in control of his body. Or rather, the symbiotic relationship between Peter Parker and Venom was that each controlled their own body. Without Peter Parker's consent, Venom couldn't directly control Peter Parker's body to fight Pietro.

"No, I just want to know just how powerful you are with Venom's power. Since Johnny Storm has managed to counter Venom's abilities, let me see for myself!" Pietro shrugged, looking at Peter Parker with a smile and challenging him to a duel.

"Alright! Let's have a match first, and then I'll study Venom's abilities more thoroughly!" Peter Parker finally agreed, looking at the eager Venom.

This wasn't just due to Venom's eagerness to try, but more importantly, Peter Parker also felt a bit frustrated. After all, he had been prepared to forcefully suppress Johnny Storm, but his abilities countered the opponent's, leaving Peter Parker's power completely useless.

Now that Pietro has taken the initiative to challenge him, Peter Parker will not hold back. Even though he hasn't fully figured out Venom's abilities, Peter Parker believes that as long as Pietro doesn't have the ability to counter Venom, defeating Pietro won't be too difficult!

Peter Parker knew that Pietro's abilities had evolved significantly, and Peter Parker even knew that Pietro had transformed from a simple speed user into a superhuman with lethal abilities. However, Peter Parker felt that Pietro's lethality was definitely not comparable to Johnny Storm's.

Before the battle, Peter Parker even thought that Johnny Storm's attacks wouldn't be able to penetrate his combat suit's defenses. However, Peter Parker's judgment was ultimately wrong because he was countered by Johnny Storm's fire. This time, Peter Parker felt that he wouldn't make the same mistake again, unless Venom had some weakness that he hadn't told him!

"So, who's going to make the first move?" Soon, Peter Parker and Pietro stood on opposite sides of the Training Room. Seeing Peter Parker covered in a black combat suit again, Pietro's lips curled up slightly as he looked at Peter Parker and asked with a smile.

"Give me an order from outside, we'll attack simultaneously on the 3-2-1 scale!" This time, Peter Parker dared not be careless. If he could defeat Pietro, he could not only prove his current strength, but also reverse the embarrassing situation caused by being countered by Johnny Storm's ability.

"Three, two, one, go!" Robet's voice rang out from the outside. Inside the Training Room, Pietro's figure vanished instantly. At least in the eyes of most people outside, including Peter Parker, Pietro's figure simply disappeared.

Of course, Pietro didn't learn to become invisible; it was purely due to his speed. Even with Peter Parker's superhuman eyesight, he still couldn't see Pietro's location. In particular, Pietro's movements didn't produce much noise. There was indeed a sound of wind around, but it wasn't the wind generated by Pietro's movement. Rather, it was a sound of wind that Pietro created using his abilities to confuse the audience.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, feather-like Ki Blade flew towards Peter Parker's body. Peter Parker reacted quickly and dodged some of the Ki Blade Ki Blade, but some of them cut through Peter Parker's combat suit.

"Awooo!" As the combat suit was cut open, Venom let out a series of painful roars, the sound echoing around.

"Shut up!" Peter Parker snapped angrily, expressing his displeasure at Venom's incessant shouting in the environment.

With a "whoosh!" sound, just as Peter Parker finished shouting, a figure instantly appeared beside Peter Parker and punched Peter Parker body, which had just been separated by the Ki Blade and was no longer protected by his combat suit.

With a loud "thud," Pietro's punch did indeed take effect, striking Peter Parker. Peter Parker appeared to have no time to dodge, and Peter Parker body flew backward.

However, Pietro's body was also sent flying backward, because the tear in the combat suit instantly healed, tightly encasing Pietro's fist and giving Pietro no chance to break free!

Yes, this was a flaw deliberately left by Peter Parker and Venom. Even Peter Parker's earlier rebuke of Venom was just for Pietro's benefit.

If it were the old Peter Parker doing this, Pietro probably wouldn't have fallen for it. But now, after merging with Venom, Peter Parker's personality has indeed changed. Even when he scolds Venom during the battle, Pietro doesn't sense anything amiss and doesn't realize it's a trap.

"Pietro, you've been caught. Your arm is now useless. You can choose to amputate it to survive, but you won't be able to use it anymore!" Peter Parker grinned at Pietro, who was struggling in front of him, and said with a hint of sarcasm.

This was just a sparring match, not a real battle, so it was impossible for Pietro to actually cut off his arm. However, simulating a normal fight, the only way for Pietro to break free was by sacrificing his arm. Therefore, Peter Parker already had a significant advantage in the battle!

"Who says I don't have the ability to break free?" Pietro's lips curled up slightly at Peter Parker's taunt. He wasn't panicked by falling into Peter Parker and Venom's trap because he did have a solution!
