Okay, boss, you're too strong!" the three younger brothers cheered in unison.

Just now, the Ice and Fire Twin Heroes were severely injured, and Colossus had to protect Jean Grey. The latter's mind control couldn't keep up with the speed of teleportation. It was as if Guan Heng had taken down Nightcrawler single-handedly. While the fight seemed complicated, it only took a few minutes. Guan Heng had already severely wounded Azazel. His strength was truly astonishing.

Moreover, Guan Heng's tactical application was brilliant, completely understanding the shortcomings of the opponent's abilities. Azazel's teleportation distance was only effective within a dozen meters. Controlling this area and restricting his movement would leave him at Guan Heng's mercy. This was also because Azazel's abilities hadn't been fully developed. If he could teleport several kilometers at once, this tactic wouldn't have worked.

Nightcrawler, Azazel, spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed weakly to the ground. His eyes, which had been crimson moments ago, suddenly returned to their normal color. As he shook his head and struggled to get up, his face was filled with confusion.

Is this kid being controlled? Guan Heng thought to himself. Then, he dismissed the thought, No matter what, I'll beat you down first.

His figure moved abruptly, and Guan Heng was already in front of Nightcrawler, throwing a punch.

Nightcrawler's face was filled with panic. In his desperation, he instinctively used his teleportation, and his figure disappeared again.

"Roar!" Guan Heng subconsciously let out another Dragon's Roar. The people around covered their ears tightly. A few meters away, someone fell to the ground with a thud. It was Nightcrawler.

At this moment, Nightcrawler rolled on the ground, let out a painful scream, and then fainted. He could no longer use his abilities. He was already severely injured, and forcing himself to teleport was an instinctive act that had completely exceeded his physical limits. After Guan Heng's Dragon's Roar, he immediately lost consciousness.

Strange, what exactly is this roar of mine? Guan Heng was a bit puzzled.

Jean Grey said from the side, "Just now, I felt your roar wasn't a simple sonic attack. It should be an attack that directly stimulates the mental level, like my telepathic attack on the human brain, but it's much more powerful than my mental strength."

"Is that so?" Guan Heng muttered to himself, then said, "We've caught the person, and we should head back to the academy."

Guan Heng then said somewhat strangely, "I didn't have this ability originally, but when I saw you being attacked, I seemed to have suddenly awakened a power." He thought of the fiery Flying Dragon Emblem, as if it were coiled in his heart, and felt very strange. "And I seem to remember memories sleeping in my brain from dreams."

Jean Grey said in a low voice, "I also feel like something has awakened in my mind. And... and I feel like we're like old acquaintances who have experienced countless centuries together."

"I feel the same way!" Guan Heng exclaimed. "What is this?"

Before he could finish speaking, Iceman and Pyro called out in unison, "Boss, is this kid about to die? Did your roar just shake him to death?"

"I'll go take a look." Guan Heng walked past Jean Grey and said softly, "Let's focus on the important matters first. We'll talk about other things later."

After checking the unconscious Nightcrawler, Guan Heng said, "It's nothing, this kid just fainted. And I bumped into him earlier, breaking a few ribs. Other than that, there are no fatal injuries."

Casually resetting Nightcrawler's broken bones, Guan Heng placed one hand on his shoulder. With a crackling sound, Nightcrawler was covered in a thin layer of ice.

Guan Heng then threw him to Iceman and said, "Let's go."

Iceman caught him, startled. "I... I actually feel like this kid is freezing my hands! I'm Iceman! Boss, I wanted to ask just now, the cold air you produced is extremely cold, what exactly is it?"

"It's fine to tell you," Guan Heng said with a smile. "My Frost Breath is the Breath of Frost that can even freeze the bodies of gods."

Ice and Fire Twin Heroes and Colossus praised him incessantly. Guan Heng said to Jean Grey, who was driving, "This Blue-skinned Kid was probably controlled. The mastermind behind this clearly wants to frame all mutants, but they were likely controlled remotely, and the person giving the orders isn't nearby."

Phoenix said, "When we get back, I'll search his memories with Professor. Maybe there will be clues. We need to hurry back."

Fury said that Azazel must be captured and handed over to S.H.I.E.L.D. for judgment, Guan Heng thought to himself. But those S.H.I.E.L.D. guys might not be able to quickly pry information out of Nightcrawler. It's faster for Phoenix and Professor to search his mind directly.

"Mm, I think you're right," Guan Heng nodded. "We must rush back to the Academy. For some reason, I have a bad feeling, like something's about to happen."

"You're right." Jean Grey stepped on the accelerator of the SUV, and the car sped towards the hangar where the X-Jet was parked.

Meanwhile, outside the X Academy, Wolverine's bloodthirsty and incredibly cruel brother, Sabretooth Victor, appeared. He had brought a group of subordinates and surrounded the entire Academy. These weren't ordinary armed mercenaries; they were Magneto's elite subordinates from the Brotherhood of Mutants.

These individuals were carefully selected to deal with the X-Men. Individually, they might not pose a threat to the X-Men, but when working together in groups of two or three, they could suppress the X-Men.

Inside the Academy, Logan, Li Qianhuan, Rogue, and a newly awakened Kitty had just returned and met with the Professor. The Professor agreed with Logan. As they were talking, they heard a commotion at the entrance. Everyone rushed out to see that it was Sabretooth who had come to attack.

"Victor, you're not welcome here. Get out!" Professor X waved his hand, projecting telepathic control in an attempt to repel Sabretooth.

"Haha, it's time for us brothers to shine!" A pair of Twin Brothers stepped forward from behind Sabretooth, crossing their arms and looking askance at the Professor with their four eyes. "Old Baldy, your telepathy is nothing in front of us."

These two subordinates of Magneto possessed the innate ability to emit a magnetic field that blocked telepathic waves. This ability was useless against other power-type mutants, but it was a natural counter to mutants who excelled at mental control, like Professor X and Phoenix. Within a radius of one kilometer centered on their position, the Professor's telepathy was completely nullified, rendering him an ordinary old man in a wheelchair.

Sabretooth revealed a cruel and bloodthirsty evil smile, slowly raising his two hands. Chh, chh, chh, sharp, elongated claws extended. He was Magneto's subordinate, but Magneto's absence didn't matter. Victor was still incredibly arrogant.

"Hahaha, Xavier," Sabretooth roared with laughter. "You and my boss, Magneto, are both renowned mutant leaders. But unfortunately, you're powerless now. You're just an ordinary old bald donkey, hahaha!"

"You scoundrel!" Cyclops stepped forward, standing protectively beside Professor X's wheelchair with Ororo. Scott desperately wanted to rush forward and fight Sabretooth, but his responsibility wouldn't allow it. He still had to protect the Professor and the children of the Academy.

Waving his claws provocatively, Sabretooth said to Wolverine, "My dear brother, we meet again. Hand over that little girl who can phase through walls and Rogue behind you. My boss, Magneto, has repeatedly ordered that they be captured."

Sabretooth licked his lips with his crimson tongue and let out a sinister laugh. "If you hand them over willingly, I promise not to tear you limb from limb this time. I'll give you a quick death."

Screech Six Adamantium Claws slowly drilled out of Wolverine's backhand, crossing in front of him. Wolverine spat. "Victor, it's only been a few days, and you've changed your diet? I bet you're eating shit for your main course now, your mouth stinks so bad."

"Damn it, come on!" Wolverine brandished his steel claws, his berserker rage evident as he roared, "Bring it on, I'll kill every last one of you!"
