Dawn of Victory

Lu Mingyu flashed repeatedly, moving straight to Spider-Man's side. Looking at the slightly exhausted Spider-Man, he asked, "Are you okay?"

Since Spider-Man had taken off his mask earlier, Lu Mingyu could clearly see how pale his face was. Combined with Spider-Man's naturally fair complexion, he looked a bit like a vampire.

"I should be fine. My stamina will recover soon. I'm in a transitional phase right now. Good thing you're here, or this training session really would've failed again." Spider-Man's lips curled upward. He was truly grateful for Lu Mingyu's arrival.

Lightning flashed from Lu Mingyu's eyes as he transformed into a blue bolt and shot forward. Spider-Man followed close behind, casting a web that trapped one of the faster-moving suits. He then kicked the suit aside, peeling the energy core off with his foot.

Spider-Man's feet could stick to things, after all, so the energy core wasn't destroyed.

Lu Mingyu, on the other hand, was simply wasting a treasure. He smashed an energy core with one punch, then hurled it directly at another suit. The white energy core exploded, and waves of flames swallowed the surrounding suits. However, the suits' defenses were quite impressive, so they weren't damaged by the blast.

Blue lightning kept flickering around the suits. Just as Lu Mingyu was about to destroy the next energy core, an enormous energy shield enveloped him, continuously emitting energy radiation within it. Lu Mingyu was protected by his armor and wasn't injured, but his powers had actually been suppressed!

Lu Mingyu had always found it strange that his power could never make him as fast as the real Flash. And now, it was being suppressed by some strange energy, which left him frustrated.

The training ground was in complete disarray. The explosions hadn't affected Spider-Man, because he had already dodged away the moment he saw Lu Mingyu tear apart the energy core. Lu Mingyu's armor might have had sufficient defense, but Spider-Man was wearing something more like a skintight suit. Its defense was far inferior to armor. On top of that, his stamina was in a transitional phase, where the old strength had faded and the new strength had yet to emerge. Spider-Man couldn't withstand such an impact right now. Half-sitting against a wall, he looked over the training ground and sighed. "What a... waste!"

The training ground had already turned pitch-black, with flames flickering in some places. Reflected in Spider-Man's eyes was the sight of Lu Mingyu fighting more than a dozen suits. Blue lightning constantly weaved through the suits, but it had just been covered by an energy barrier. In that instant, Spider-Man shot out like a crossbow bolt. Webbing sprayed from his hands and pulled Lu Mingyu over. He knew what that was—the Speed Inhibitor!

In other words, Lu Mingyu no longer had the power to move at super speed!

The situation on the field grew worse and worse. Spider-Man had little stamina left, and Lu Mingyu could no longer move at super speed. They seemed to have fallen into a desperate situation. Spider-Man sighed. "What should we do?"

Just as Lu Mingyu was about to crouch down to evade an attack, he discovered that the scenery around him was moving rapidly. Then he was suddenly beside Spider-Man. He immediately realized Spider-Man had saved him and said, "Thanks to you. Otherwise, I might have been sent flying just now."

Spider-Man said, "It's nothing, but I need to remind you: even if you can move at super speed, it won't do if you can't see in every direction and hear everything around you. There are attacks you won't notice, and if you get hit, you'll end up in a difficult situation."

Lu Mingyu nodded. Lightning still flickered in his eyes, but the Speed Force was temporarily unusable. He didn't know what Tony had developed, but it was as if the Speed Force had been trapped by some kind of law. Or rather, the Speed Force was currently struggling against some law of this world.

But clearly, even the Speed Force had no way to completely overturn this world's laws of physics.

Lu Mingyu sighed. He wished this world were DC's. Then Tony's scientific machine, which relied on physical laws, probably wouldn't be able to threaten him. Watching the suits charge toward them, he had no idea how to deal with them.

"Do you know martial arts?" Spider-Man turned and asked Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu was obviously just a freshman in college. How could he know any martial arts? Besides, even if he did, how could he use them against these armored suits?

Spider-Man saw Lu Mingyu's silence and knew that he didn't know martial arts. Without his super speed, Lu Mingyu had even completely lost his ability to fight.

Lu Mingyu looked at the approaching suits, then dismantled his own armor. The disassembled armor lay on the ground like children who had lost their families, lonely and helpless. At the same time, Lu Mingyu said to Spider-Man, "Throw me behind them. Throw me however you want, as long as I get there!"

"What are you going to do?" Spider-Man didn't understand what Lu Mingyu meant. He didn't know what Lu Mingyu could possibly accomplish even if he got over there.

"Quickly, there's no time to explain."

Spider-Man instantly fired a web and pulled it backward. Standing on the web, Lu Mingyu asked, "You're not going to stick me to this, are you?"

"No, don't worry! This web is extremely elastic and doesn't have much stickiness."

With that, Spider-Man launched Lu Mingyu directly. In that instant, Lu Mingyu's eyes widened. He saw himself pass through the gaps between the suits and quickly reach the rear of the entire formation. Yet the powerful elasticity and inertia still sent him rolling across the ground for a while. But the moment he reached the back of the suits, Lu Mingyu had already begun summoning his armor.

The trajectory of his armor would collide with the other suits. Although it had an obstacle-avoidance system, Lu Mingyu had temporarily shut it off at the instant he dismantled the armor. So now, his armor would charge straight ahead without dodging anything at all!

Tony, you said this armor was your pinnacle creation, so its defensive power should be astonishing, right? Since its defense is so strong, under such tremendous impact, it'll become the strongest weapon—or rather, the strongest "bullet"! Lu Mingyu watched the armor fragments fly off the ground one after another, smiling naturally. He knew that he and Spider-Man had won this battle. And so, he was happy.

Seeing what Lu Mingyu had done, Spider-Man covered his head in astonishment. "Oh my God, he's too smart!"

The armor fragments naturally wouldn't wipe out the entire Iron Legion, but they could eliminate at least eighty percent of it. The Iron Legion was packed tightly together at the moment, so the armor fragments could strike many suits.

"Spider-Man, follow behind the armor. Move quickly!" Lu Mingyu called out.

"Okay!" Spider-Man fired webbing and charged into the Iron Legion alongside the armor fragments.

The fragments shattered suit after suit, like countless bullets piercing through the Iron Legion. At the same time, Spider-Man became like a prehistoric beast, constantly tearing apart and kicking away the suits. This training session was Lu Mingyu and Spider-Man's first victory. They were happy, but this... wasn't over yet.
