War God

"Hi, Master. Long time no see. Have you missed me?" Tony's voice drifted in before he even entered.

"Hello, junior sisters. Your beloved Senior Apprentice-Brother is back again. Huh, there's a new junior sister here..."

Tony's eyes lit up. With a single shift of his step, he arrived in front of Sharon Carter and began introducing himself with elegant charm.

"Hello, junior sister. I'm your Senior Apprentice-Brother, Tony Stark. If you have any problems in your cultivation, feel free to come to me anytime... How about we exchange phone numbers?"

Sharon had seen this playboy in the files long ago and knew exactly what kind of man he was. She smiled faintly and politely declined. "If I have any questions, I'll go to Second Apprentice-Brother. I won't trouble Senior Apprentice-Brother."

"It's no trouble. How could serving a beautiful woman be called trouble?"

When Tony faced a beautiful woman, the thickness of his skin had always known no limits. Naturally, he wouldn't give up so easily. He was about to flirt a few more times when he suddenly felt his body grow light. That familiar feeling had returned.

But this time, he wasn't so easy to throw out. Tony rotated the power of Magnetic Field Rotation, flipped through the air, and landed steadily on the ground.

"Huh? You've entered the Magnetic Field Rotation Realm!" Zhan Liu was extremely delighted.

Although he knew Tony was a genius and that entering the Magnetic Field Rotation Realm was only a matter of time, he was still astonished by how quickly Tony had advanced.

In fact, amid his shock, he even felt a little jealous.

Back then, even in the War God's world, where magnetic fields were everywhere, it had taken him nearly ten years of diligent study and hard training, as well as several brushes with death, before he entered the Magnetic Field Rotation Realm.

But now, Tony had casually broken through this threshold as if it were a game. He truly lived up to his status as one of the protagonists of the Marvel world.

While Zhan Liu was distracted, Tony gave a wicked grin. He flipped his wrist, sending the power of Magnetic Field Rotation crashing onto Zhan Liu, then heaved with all his strength, wanting to fling him away as well.

But no matter how many times Tony exerted himself, Zhan Liu remained completely motionless.

"Huh? Why didn't it work?"

Tony was dumbfounded. He turned his head toward Sharon, letting his gaze linger briefly on her face, then immediately chose a male disciple instead. With another flip of his hand, he threw the male disciple out.

The male disciple cried out in alarm. Unable to resist in the slightest, he was tossed outside the door. He then limped back in and looked at Tony resentfully.

"Senior Apprentice-Brother, that's too much. You're being a friend who abandons all loyalty for a pretty face."

Tony didn't blush in the slightest. With a wave of his hand, he tossed a set of car keys into the male disciple's arms.

"The sports car at the entrance is yours."

"...Thank you, Senior Apprentice-Brother!" The male disciple stopped limping and ran out like a streak of lightning.

Zhan Liu watched his favorite disciple with a beaming smile and offered some guidance. "The reason you couldn't move me just now is, of course, that my Magnetic Field Rotation Realm is superior to yours in terms of magnetic-field control and everything else."

"Although I might be inferior to you in raw power, under a surprise attack, I should at least have been made to move a little." Tony was very dissatisfied.

"Heh heh. I've been through countless battles and have incomparably rich combat experience. The moment your power touched me, I sensed it. By now, you should also know how fast a person's reactions can become in the Magnetic Field Rotation Realm."

"If the gap between realms is too great, there's no such thing as a surprise attack."

Tony suddenly understood. He had only just stepped through the threshold of Magnetic Field Rotation, yet his reaction speed was already faster than that of some small computers. It was easy to imagine how outrageous thought and reaction speeds would become at higher realms.

"Besides, I know many martial techniques of the Magnetic Field Rotation Realm. Compared with your crude method of using it, I don't know how many times stronger they are."

Tony wasn't happy to hear that.

"Crude? I calculated this with science. It's the most precise way to use magnetic fields. I can completely keep enemies at bay from a thousand kilometers away."

"Heh, a thousand kilometers away... The Magnetic Lunatics have always fought at close range, with every punch striking flesh. It makes the blood boil and the fighting spirit surge. Only when vitality is highly condensed is it possible to advance in the middle of battle and rapidly cross realm levels. Close combat is the essence of fighting."

"Wow, that's far too crude. It's not elegant at all. That's how barbarians fight. Naturally, intelligent people should use intelligent methods to fight."

Tony curled his lips and said smugly:

"Long-distance combat is precise, efficient, and full of technological sophistication. Of course, there's no point explaining this to an illiterate like you."

Zhan Liu was instantly amused by his anger.

"I'm an illiterate? Heh heh, Tony, although I'm certainly not as proficient as you in science, how dare you call me an illiterate? You're looking down on me far too much."

"Come, come. Let me spar with you and show you just how formidable an illiterate can be."

Tony's expression changed. He immediately shook his head and refused. "No. I'm a scientist, not a soldier. I absolutely refuse to enter the battlefield."

"Don't worry. I won't bully you either. I'll only use the power of First Heaven Magnetic Field Rotation to spar with you."

After coming to this world, Zhan Liu had not fought another Magnetic Field Rotation martial artist. His hands were itching for a fight.

Of course, this had absolutely nothing to do with Tony's big mouth.

Tony's eyes began to wander as he changed the subject.

"I'm a pacifist. I love peace and oppose war. Martial arts are for strengthening the body, not for fighting and killing. My 'battlefield' has always been somewhere else."

"Pfft, look at how cowardly you are. If you're like this, how are you supposed to become a War God?"

"What's so good about becoming a War God? I want to be a great capitalist, a tycoon, a playboy... Becoming a War God can be left to Second Apprentice-Brother!" Tony began acting shamelessly.

Zhan Liu looked at Tony with exasperation and lectured him. "Those things you call being a capitalist or a tycoon are merely empty external titles. They have no meaning."

"Wealth can disappear, but once you reach a certain Martial Dao realm, you will never regress."

"Once you lose those external halos, everything you possess now will abandon you. Only your Martial Dao realm will not."

Earlier, Zhan Liu had already explained to Tony what a War God was.

Now, he explained the criteria for becoming a War God to everyone around them, earnestly teaching his disciples to recognize reality, see through illusions, and not place power, status, and wealth above all else. Only the Path of the Martial God, which allowed one to climb higher on the biological chain, was the proper path.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present drew a sharp breath.

But in truth, Tony was probably the only one who believed him.

The others had not even reached the Current Drive Realm, so they could not possibly imagine how powerful Magnetic Field Rotation was, much less how absurdly formidable a War God could be.

Tony, however, had already reached the Magnetic Field Rotation Realm and had personally experienced the feeling of cutting through a thousand-strong army with unrivaled might. Only he truly believed what Zhan Liu had said.
