Chapter 1023 Training
"Hey!"

Superboy roared, raised his fist, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Aquaman. The latter, without changing his expression, first planted his trident in the ground, and then slightly stepped back to dodge Superboy's fist.

Without giving Superboy a chance to escape, Aquaman opened his right hand into a palm and slapped the former on the head. With the latter exerting force, Superboy was immediately sent flying backward.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three sharp whooshing sounds came from behind him, and Aquaman knew without turning around that they must be arrows shot by Artemis.

Seizing the opportunity, Neptune twisted his waist and abdomen, turning his head sharply and simultaneously swinging his palm. The force of his hand, like a knife, struck the shafts of the three arrows precisely.

The three arrows broke in two almost simultaneously, and the arrows, having lost their kinetic energy, naturally fell to the ground.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a black figure wielding two aquamarine swords silently charging towards him. The calm smile on the Sea King's face finally changed, revealing a hint of consideration.

With another step back, Neptune dodged Sea Hero's twin swords, then kicked Sea Hero in the side knee, forcefully breaking the latter's balance.

Despite the young hero Hai Shao falling to the side, he remained calm. Suddenly, the Water Flow Sword in his left hand began to twist and eventually turned into a rope that wrapped around Hai Wang's arm, stopping him from falling.

Before the fall stopped, Hai Shaoxia had already swung his sword, but Hai Wang ignored him and instead grabbed the water rope with his other hand and used his strength to forcefully throw Hai Shaoxia aside.

The flying young hero collided with the Superboy who was charging back.

Dodging two arrows with a sideways turn, Aquaman kicked up the trident stuck in the ground, blocking Stargirl's scepter.

The Star Chaser sensed the opponent's power through the Star Staff, a power as vast and unshakeable as the ocean. Knowing she couldn't defeat him, she had a flash of inspiration. She released the Star Staff with her left hand and gently pushed with her right.

Using the trident shaft as the point of force, the Star Staff began to rotate from bottom to top, and the sharp tip of the staff slashed towards Neptune's chin.

With an approving look in his eyes, Aquaman released his left hand, then used his right wrist to twist it to the left, forcefully pushing the Star Wand aside.

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”

Aquaman chuckled as he watched Stargirl raise her hands in surrender after losing her Star Staff, then turned and hurled his trident.

After the trident shattered several arrows in mid-air, the left blade hooked onto Artemis's quiver, pulling it off and pinning it to the wall.

Looking at the arrows that had been broken into many pieces in her quiver, Artemis could only sigh and raise her hands in surrender.

"Training is over."

The Flash announced loudly, his mouth stuffed with something, making his speech unclear, but given the situation, it wasn't hard to guess what he said.

"Haha, well done, kids." Neptune laughed as he picked up the Star Wand from the ground and handed it to Stargirl.

"I was very offensive just now, Your Majesty."

Hai Shaoxia put the water vessel back behind him and stood respectfully beside Hai Wang, not daring to overstep his bounds in the slightest.

Aquaman's expression turned helpless again. Although he had lived in Atlantis for a long time, he still hated all the formalities, but the people of Atlantis were still like that.

“Jackson, the martial arts skills you displayed during the training just now far exceeded what you showed when you were with me.”

The helpless expression vanished in an instant, and the Sea King patted the young hero on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"It seems you've really grown a lot here, which puts my mind at ease." "I have the best companions to help me." Hai Shaoxia smiled as well. "With their help, I believe I can continue to improve."

"Moreover, with Cassandra's help, our recent growth can truly be described as leaps and bounds."

"Oh?" Aquaman stroked his stubble. "That little girl Yang Le adopted? She certainly has strength beyond her years; I was far inferior to her at her age."

"Is it over here too, Arthur?"

Aquaman turned around upon hearing this and saw Wonder Woman leading the members of the Young Justice League's Team A over. Unlike Wonder Woman's glamorous appearance, the children following behind looked somewhat disheveled.

“It’s been over for a while, Diana,” Aquaman thought to himself, secretly competing. “I’ve been chatting with Jackson the whole time, and these kids have really grown beyond my expectations.”

“I think so too.” Wonder Woman’s expression was similar to Aquaman’s; she was clearly satisfied with Team A’s performance.

"Give them some more time to grow, and they might become official members of the Justice League."

The Flash was holding a paper bag and taking something out to eat with his right hand. Seeing this, the Flash kid, who was still feeling a bit of pain, flashed over to the Flash's side.

"What do you want to eat? Break me some food."

The Flash didn't hold back either; he had already bought the entire supply for everyone.

"Alkaline sticks, the more you chew, the more fragrant they become, and everyone gets a share."

Upon hearing what the Flash said, the Kid of Lightning immediately extended his hand without hesitation, even though he hadn't originally intended to be polite.

After the Kid Flash took his share, the Flash transformed into a streak of light and distributed the lye sticks from the bag to everyone.

"Try them all. I saw their bread on a video website and thought it looked good, so I made a special trip to France to buy it."

As the Flash finished speaking, he was about to put the last piece of pretzel stick in his mouth when a hand snatched the bread away first.

"Hey!"

The Flash clearly hadn't expected anyone to dare steal his bread, so he didn't react in time. When he turned around to see who had taken his bread, he saw a cold face wearing a black helmet.

"Batman?"

This answer was clearly beyond the Flash's expectations. He had thought of a thousand answers, even Hal the astronaut who went to outer space, but he hadn't thought of Batman.

Batman remained silent, but took a bite of the lye stick in his hand, chewed it for a while, and then swallowed it.

"The taste is pretty good. Maybe you can make another trip to France for the next gathering, and I'll reimburse you."

Ignoring the Flash, Batman said, "That was the last wail!" He turned to the smiling Aquaman and Wonder Girl, as well as the Young Justice League members who dared not laugh.

“I just watched all of your performances in the monitoring room, and you all did a great job. It seems that Yang Le’s suggestion was indeed very effective.”

Before the Young Justice League could even breathe a sigh of relief, Batman spoke again.

"Perfect timing, I have some tasks here that I think I can hand over to you all."
