Riding his motorcycle at high speed, Cyclops suddenly noticed a small patch of sky above him covered by a shadow. He looked up and found Guan Heng following him leisurely on a huge dragonfly.
Scott couldn't help but say, "Heavens, how many more surprises do you have in store for me?" Riding his bike, he didn't dare to think too much and sped up, his hands constantly working the controls.
In the blink of an eye, the two arrived at an open clearing several kilometers away from the academy.
Scott got off his motorcycle and parked it in the distance. At the same time, Guan Heng descended from the air, waved his hand, and recalled Huang Santai.
"Huh? Where did the great dragonfly you were riding just now go?" Cyclops asked curiously.
Guan Heng smiled and said, "My mount was summoned from an Otherworld Space. I can summon and recall it freely. This is an ancient Huaxia Secret Art; others cannot learn it."
Cyclops's face was full of surprise and envy. "This is truly amazing. Hmm, Huaxia magic, impressive!"
"I'm really looking forward to our match even more," Cyclops said, rubbing his hands together, eager to begin. "Let's start now then." With that, he took his stance, ready for battle.
"Wait a moment," Guan Heng said, waving his hand with a smile. "Don't rush. Look, the Audience is still some distance away." He pointed behind Scott.
Scott turned around and saw cars roaring in the distance, kicking up dust. People were waving from afar. In an instant, the cars stopped outside the clearing, and people jumped out.
"Quick, find a good spot where we can see clearly. Remember not to get too close, lest we get accidentally injured by Scott's Ranged Attack Method!"
"Look, they're over there, it seems they're about to start. Who brought snacks and drinks? Ororo, go get the sun umbrella from the car."
The X-Men excitedly prepared snacks and drinks, and even set up chairs.
Professor said with a smile, "It feels like it's been a long time since it's been this lively. Seeing everyone happy makes me happy too."
"Why does everyone seem like they're here to watch a ball game?" Guan Heng and Cyclops exchanged wry smiles, shrugging helplessly.
"Then let's begin," Guan Heng said, gently putting on his knuckle dusters. "I know your eyes can shoot red lasers, and as for me, besides the Qi Control that can increase various upper limits, I'm considered a close-combat type. Come on!"
They exchanged a knowing glance. Two titans, their battle was about to erupt.
"They're about to start," the Professor commanded in a deep voice. "Everyone maintain a distance and prepare to watch."
The terrain here was flat and open, with no inconvenience for any movement. All eyes were focused on the two people in the arena, wanting to see their amazing battle.
"Scott's red laser is quite powerful and has immense energy." Guan Heng thought to himself, I must deal with this with extreme caution, or getting hit once won't be a joke. However, my equipment, hehe, it's all been blessed by the Dwarf Master Blacksmith of the Immortal Palace. I want to see what my current attack and defense capabilities are.
Just now at the academy, the invisible Qi Control Guan Heng displayed was quite magical. Cyclops was also ready for battle, preparing for the worst. He might also have Ranged Attack Methods; I need to be very careful.
"Scott, if you're ready, make the first move," Guan Heng said. "I want to take advantage of seeing the trajectory of your laser before I dodge it."
Cyclops smiled slightly. "Okay, then I won't be polite." The Ruby Quartz Glasses flashed suddenly, a sign of the impending attack.
Zzzt Swoo! A sharp, straight red laser shot towards Guan Heng.
Guan Heng squinted his eyes, instantly judging that this laser was neither too thick nor too thin, and its power was moderate. It was precisely the opponent's probing attack.
Guan Heng, who could make a judgment with a simple block, swung his left fist and lightly tapped with his brass knuckles. The red light was instantly repelled, refracting onto the ground not far away, where a faint wisp of smoke slowly rose.
"Hmm," Professor X's eyes were sharp. He said, "The brass knuckles on Guan Heng's hands seem to be made of the same alloy as Logan's adamantium skeleton."
"That material is Adamantium?" Jean asked in surprise. "Such items are rare even in Country M. How does he have them?"
The Professor nodded. "This Guan Heng, he truly has many treasures. What surprises me even more is how incredibly powerful his mental barrier is. I'm very curious, how can he possess such immense mental strength at such a young age, and not even be a Mutant?"
Jean Grey said, "Yes, I feel like my telepathy is being blocked by an unseen mountain peak, unable to penetrate." She bit her lip, her white teeth clamping down. Why is this young man's figure so familiar? It's as if I've been accustomed to watching him fight for a long time.
Storm Ororo, however, felt a bit unconvinced. "Even if his mental power is strong, his strength isn't necessarily greater than mine. I'll find an opportunity to spar with Guan Heng using my weather manipulation abilities."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Cyclops's lasers instantly transformed into over a dozen crisscrossing red lines, shooting towards Guan Heng from all directions. Guan Heng stood firm like a rock, merely waving his left fist to block each one.
Scott finally understood that his probing attacks had no effect on Guan Heng. He suddenly let out a roar, placing both hands on the ruby quartz glasses in front of his forehead. He abruptly gathered a red light source and fired a thick beam at Guan Heng.
"Aha! Finally, something interesting!" Guan Heng's face showed excitement. He didn't retreat from the thick beam tens of meters away, but instead advanced. His body suddenly gathered power, and he swung both arms forward: "Hah! Qi Fist!"
A pair of invisible giant fists, two meters square, fiercely slammed towards Scott's thick beam. The two energies violently collided, boom, boom, boom, boom!
Cyclops felt considerable pressure. Just as he was about to exert more force, the opponent's fist energy caused his laser beam to crackle and creak. Snap! The beam disintegrated, and the residual force of the fist energy continued to rush towards Scott.
"Ah!" Scott retreated. This fist energy, without deviation, struck the ground in front of him.
Bang! With a loud noise, a cracked pit several meters square appeared in the dust-filled ground. This was still Guan Heng holding back; otherwise, if the invisible fist energy had moved forward slightly, it would have struck Cyclops directly in the chest, leaving him severely injured or dead.
"What's wrong, Scott?" Guan Heng shouted, using a taunt. "Is that all your laser beam is capable of? Come again!"
"Since you insist, how about this?" Scott, provoked by Guan Heng, was furious. He immediately let out a long roar to the sky. A large patch of crimson light appeared in his pupils behind the ruby quartz glasses. Squeak, squeak, squeak! Crackle, crackle! The lenses emitted a strange sound, as if they were about to fall apart.
"Oh no!" Professor X, in his wheelchair, gripped the armrests, almost rising to his feet. "Scott might be reaching his limit."
