American comics: Starting with binding the Great Clock of Super God Academy

"So, you only took one punch and then you leveled up?"

Hawkeye didn't know the specifics of Li Qingyun's situation, but there was no doubt that Li Qingyun could now control lightning.

In their previous encounters, Li Qingyun clearly did not.

"The super gene within my body has undergone a minor upgrade!"

Li Qingyun answered casually.

"Could it be related to that hammer from last time?"

Hawkeye was working with Coulson on the investigation into Thor's hammer.

They witnessed Thor's hammer fly away right before their eyes and then suddenly fly back.

Black Widow later said that Li Qingyun summoned Thor's hammer to deal with Whiplash.

But in Black Widow's view, Li Qingyun's actions were completely unnecessary.

He jumped over a hundred meters high, and with that jumping power, his strength was far greater than that of the whip rope. He could have easily dealt with the whip rope with his bare hands.

In the end, he smashed the whip rope into a pile of mud with a single hammer blow!

However, Hawkeye didn't understand this before, but he does now.

Li Qingyun didn't really understand his own power.

He clearly possesses combat power no less than the Hulk's, yet he cannot unleash it; this is due to a lack of experience and knowledge.

Clearly, Li Qingyun has now realized all of this.

So he asked Hulk to be his sparring partner and even brought himself along.

"There's a tiny bit of a connection!"

Li Qingyun said.

"Let's continue!"

Now that Li Qingyun has gained the ability to use lightning, he will definitely be able to perform even better in the upcoming battles.

"Let's make this clear beforehand, you can't hit me with your lightning, or I won't be able to withstand it!"

Hawkeye quickly spoke up.

He kept in mind that he was just a mortal and that he must never let Hulk or Li Qingyun attack him.

"Don't worry, I absolutely won't strike you with lightning!"

Li Qingyun knew what Hawkeye was worried about and immediately gave him assurances.

"You keep shooting sneak attacks like before, and then I'll fight Hulk one-on-one!"

Li Qingyun's goal is still clear.

He went one-on-one with Hulk, while Hawkeye was only responsible for interfering from the side.

This increases the difficulty of Li Qingyun's battles, but at the same time, it also allows Li Qingyun to adapt to the unpredictable changes on the battlefield more quickly.

Even though Li Qingyun knew that with the help of the Great Clock, he was unlikely to encounter any unexpected situations.

It's always good to be prepared!

This lasted for nearly two months.

Li Qingyun, Hulk, and Hawkeye continued their battle amidst the ruins.

As the fighting intensified, the streets, where one or two intact buildings could still be seen from time to time, have now all collapsed.

Hawkeye was the first to withdraw from the battle because he had nowhere to hide, and the impact of the battle between Li Qingyun and Hulk was becoming increasingly stronger.

If Hawkeye stays on the battlefield any longer, he might be affected by the energy that erupts one day.

Li Qingyun's original purpose in having Hawkeye stay was to increase the difficulty.

Since Hawkeye is no longer effective, Li Qingyun naturally won't stop it.

Therefore, Hawkeye no longer participated in this trial, and because Nick Fury had a new mission, he soon left Li Qingyun's manor.

"You two are crazy! You're fighting all the time and taking up all my time!"

Inside the manor, at the table laden with delicious food, Banner was complaining helplessly.

This is his third appearance in just over two months.

On the previous two occasions, he only came out for two or three days in a hurry, just to figure out the relationship between himself and Hulk.

At the same time, it was also because they were afraid that if the Hulk stayed out for too long, it would affect Banner's mental state.

"I've already talked to Hulk, and we'll make it up to you later!"

Li Qingyun could only offer words of comfort.

This time, he really needed a powerful partner to team up with, and Hulk also wanted to have some fun.

They hit it off immediately and then had a great time playing together.

"Ugh!"

Banner sighed helplessly.

"Go ahead and fight if you want!"

"At least, Hulk won't be causing destruction everywhere like before!"

Banner's emotions remained stable, and that was precisely the reason.

As long as Hulk doesn't cause chaos everywhere, and as long as he doesn't become a huge threat to ordinary people, it's just taking up some of my time, which isn't a very serious matter.

"Hulk is fine. He was like that before only because none of you understood him!"

Lee Ching-wan once provided Banner with footage of Hulk's daily life directly in video format.

After seeing this, Banner understood that although Hulk was violent, he was not a mindless monster who only knew how to destroy.

"I know!"

Banner actually felt regret after learning about Hulk's situation.

He regretted his previous reckless actions.

If he had found a way to get along with Hulk sooner, he wouldn't have caused so much trouble in the past.

Loki has appeared!

The sound of a large clock suddenly appeared in Li Qingyun's mind.

"He has entered the Pegasus Project research center where the Cosmic Cube is located, and Hawkeye has been taken over by him!"

The large clock continued to report the situation.

In order to obtain the Infinity Stones, the Great Clock has been monitoring the Cosmic Cube for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that going directly to retrieve the Tesseract might lead to a war with S.H.I.E.L.D., and could even prompt them to form the Avengers, Li Qingyun would have preferred to take the Tesseract back himself.

Therefore, Loki's appearance now can be seen as his opportunity.

He doesn't need to wait for the Avengers to be formed, nor does he need to wait for the Battle of New York; what he needs is a reason.

A legitimate reason to possess an Infinity Stone.

"No more training is needed!"

Li Qingyun suppressed his excitement for the time being and maintained his normal demeanor.

However, from now on, there's no need to practice combat anymore.

"what happened?"

Banner was somewhat puzzled.

"Something's happened at S.H.I.E.L.D., and their people are coming this way!"

Li Qingyun didn't hide it; Banner already knew that he had access to most of the intelligence information on Earth.

"S.H.I.E.L.D."

"What could possibly happen to them?"

Banner was even more confused.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is a secret organization with top agents like Black Widow and Hawkeye, and it has branches and a vast influence in allied countries around the world.

What could possibly happen to them?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 37 has been waiting for this opportunity.

Just as Li Qingyun had said, the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. arrived very quickly.

The person who came this time was an old acquaintance, Natasha Romanov, codename Black Widow!

However, unlike before, Black Widow appeared very serious and focused this time.

This is completely different from the previous one, which made people feel friendly and occasionally seemed as easily surprised and emotionally volatile as ordinary people.

Perhaps, this is what being Black Widow truly means.

All those previous actions were just a pretense, done to better connect with a greenhorn like Li Qingyun.

A versatile female agent, she adapts her demeanor to the different types of people she encounters.

She displays her sexiness, mystery, and a touch of aloofness in front of Iron Man.

When faced with a general who deals in arms, she displays her charm, panic upon having her identity exposed, and attempts to ingratiate herself to escape, ultimately extracting all his secrets with ease.

In the movie, when facing Banner, she acted like a coward, being frightened by Banner's roar and drawing her gun, even saying "crisis over" in front of him.

But if she hadn't acted that way, would Banner have agreed to go with her to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicopter?

"Why does it feel a little... serious today?"

Li Qingyun stood at the door, watching the Black Widow fly the Quinjet directly into the manor and hurry out of the cabin.

"I don't have time for small talk. This time, it's a matter of great importance!"
