"Yes, I'd like another steak, thank you, Afu."

"Is it a function of your watch? Can I use it?" Jason was still unwilling to give up. He couldn't accept that a younger brother who was younger than him was taller than him!

A smug expression appeared on Tian Xiaoban's handsome face: "Hehe, that's impossible."

Omnitrix has a gene-binding function; this thing looks like a watch, but it's actually practically an organ of mine. Without gene-level tools to assist, the watch simply can't be taken off.

Watching Tian Xiaoban devour the meat with a knife, Jason, who was already full, smacked his lips and turned to Alfred, saying:

"Okay. Ah Fu, could you please give me a glass of milk? I'll grow taller and catch up to him!"

"Awoo! Whatever."

Tian Xiaoban ate five more steaks, and once he felt his hunger had completely disappeared, he decisively stopped. He figured he wouldn't overeat like that again.

........................

"Come on, let's go see those guys you brought!"

“Those guys are monsters!” Jason began to boast. “Blunt blows are useless. They’ll come back to life after a throat slit, and they can still jump around even after their arms and legs are severed! Plus, they all have the clown’s face! But none of them were a match for me; I took them down easily!”

Tian Xiaoban nodded, indicating that he understood. Upon hearing about their terrifying self-healing ability, he subconsciously thought of the Court of Owls!

The optimized brain allows Tian Xiaoban to recall her childhood more clearly, including her childhood in her previous life, and she can find those movies and comics from her memories!

The Claw Killers of the Court of Owls are biological weapons created using a rare liquid metal called "Dionysus Factor."

But... how did the Court of Owls end up with the Joker? This is completely contrary to his memory.

Soon, they returned to the hall, but Batman and Zatanna were nowhere to be found.

Those few clown claws are still using their "smiling faces" to outwit and outmaneuver the air.

"These are the clothes of Claws! They are the claws of the Court of Owls!"

"What!" Alfred's pupils dilated in shock.

As a Gotham resident, no one is unaware of that eerie nursery rhyme:

Beware of the Court of Owls, which is always watching your every move.

Peeping at Gotham City from the shadows, hidden in low walls and attics.

He is with me in my home, and he is also present in my bedside.

Do not utter his name, or his claws will come for your head.

When stories meant to scare children become real horror stories, that's—a true childhood trauma!

"That's strange?"

Tian Xiaoban was certain that the clothes they wore were those worn by the Owl Court's talons, combined with Jason's combat description.

They are absolutely the owl's claws, only they are being used by the clown!

Tian Xiaoban squatted down, forcefully pried open their mouths, and found that special tooth on their molars.

Reach out and pull it off!

Just after Tian Xiaoban pulled out the obviously problematic tooth, the clown claw stiffened and died.

"It seems I was right, they are the Claws! They are tools used by the Court of Owls to cleanse Gotham and eliminate dissidents. Do you know what they are?"

Tian Xiaoban shook the tooth in her hand.

Jason and Alfred shook their heads in unison. They weren't stupid; it was clearly a false tooth, and it seemed to be very important to the undead monster. They shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.

Tian Xiaoban introduced with a serious expression:

"This is what makes them immortal, the 'Dionysian Factor'!"

It can heal the body extremely quickly, grant the living immortality, and turn the dead into the best tools, just like them.

However, their teeth contain 'Dionysian Factor' diluted many times over! One can only imagine how potent this highly concentrated 'Dionysian Factor' is!

The true 'Dionysian Factor' can resurrect the dead and grant immortality!

"Hiss—" ×2

Jason and Alfred both gasped.

Jason was shocked by the immortality! If he obtained the "Dionysian Factor," wouldn't he be invincible?

Alfred was horrified; he had never before so desperately wanted to destroy an item. He could imagine what his master would do if the lunatics at Arkham Asylum found out about this and obtained it! His master would be driven mad by them!

Tian Xiaoban tossed the teeth to Alfred and pointed at the claws, saying:

"These things are in their mouths, pull them all out! Anyway, these claws are just resurrected corpses, they have no self."

As for these teeth, give them to Batman; he might need them.

"By the way, where's Batman?"

Alfred coughed awkwardly. Everything in the manor was under his watchful eye, and he naturally knew what Batman was up to, but he certainly couldn't tell these kids.

So Alfred said in a serious tone, "The clown hasn't been caught yet. Master must have gone to catch the clown."

Then, he changed the subject, saying, "Young Master Jason, let's continue your studies today!"

"Huh?" Tian Xiaoban said with a mocking expression, "Jason actually actually learns things obediently? That's unbelievable!"

Back when he was learning about the structure of luxury cars from his unscrupulous boss, Jason only studied the simpler structures, such as wheels, because he was too lazy to read the descriptions of the internal parts.

This shows that he doesn't like studying; he prefers hands-on practice.

"Humph!"

Jason rolled his eyes. He just didn't like studying, which didn't mean he couldn't learn. In fact, he learned very quickly!

Moreover, he learned the attack methods that Alfred taught him very quickly.

"Want to learn together? I promise I'll teach you everything I've learned!" Jason said, hooking his arm around Tian Xiaoban's neck, but his tone sounded more like a threat than a discussion.

Tian Xiaoban smiled brightly: "Sure, I'm a genius, I can learn anything in no time. I'm just afraid you'll feel inferior!"

------

The perspective shifts to the bat cave in the back mountain of the manor.

Tian Xiaoban and Jason both changed into their training uniforms.

It has to be said that Tian Xiaoban, who was originally thin, has developed muscles all over his body after completing gene optimization. His muscles are as defined as if he had been working out seriously for two and a half years, with clear muscle contours and a perfect physique.

"Let me teach you basic fighting first! Have you learned it before?"

Tian Xiaoban shook her head and honestly said, "No, I usually prefer ranged attacks like throwing stones, and I rely entirely on my transformed power for close combat!"

(His skill of throwing stones was something he accidentally honed while playing with stones by the river in his past life; he could hit any target within ten meters. This was his signature skill when he was the leader of the kids. He also developed a skill for playing marbles, hitting the target every time! With this skill, he once earned all the marbles from the children in the village.)

"OK, then watch carefully!"

Jason demonstrated some basic fighting moves with his hands and feet: "Straight punch, hook punch, kick, slide step, knee strike, elbow strike, grappling, wrestling, dodging!"

This is the most practical and commonly used fighting move, the purpose of which is to defeat the opponent as quickly as possible.

After watching it once, Tian Xiaoban felt, well, how should I put it? She learned it.

To Jason and Alfred's astonishment, Tian Xiaoban replicated Jason's movements.

His posture was strong and powerful, not at all like that of a novice.

After practicing once, Tian Xiaoban shook his head and began to optimize the moves. The movements became more "rounded," making them more suitable for his own body.

"A generous gift! You've definitely practiced!"

Jason couldn't believe it.

Alfred: "Young Master Jason, you mustn't swear!"

The farce that follows Chapter 20, setting up a plot hole.

"But Alfred! Did you see that? He learned it just like that! That doesn't make sense!"

Alfred just smiled and didn't say anything. Wasn't his master a genius who could learn anything in no time?

“It’s truly incredible, Jason. But the world is not lacking in geniuses. And I am one of them.” Tian Xiaoban shamelessly boasted about himself.

Jason wanted to argue, but couldn't find the words.

"Butler Afu, can I play on the computer?"

Tian Xiaoban's eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at the bat-shaped computer that was half the size of a wall.

Having realized just how amazing his talent is, he's now like a dry sponge, needing to absorb knowledge to enrich himself, and computers are clearly an efficient learning channel.

"Yes, but this one won't work. Please wait a moment, I'll prepare one for you!"

Alfred turned and went to the warehouse to get the laptop developed by Wayne Enterprises.

"Okay, thank you, Afu."

Jason was still not convinced, and he decided to have a one-on-one match with Tian Xiaoban.

Tian Xiaoban readily agreed, and the two of them joined forces. In just three seconds, Tian Xiaoban had Jason on the ground.

Jason stared blankly at the ceiling, his eyes devoid of light.

Tian Xiaoban felt that she couldn't undermine his confidence too much. If she did, wouldn't that hotheaded idiot be finished? That wouldn't do!

Tian Xiaoban walked over, pulled him up from the ground, and encouraged him, "Go Robin, I believe in you! I hope you won't lose so quickly in the next sparring session!"

Jason was instantly enraged, and angrily walked to the side to start exercising.

Tian Xiaoban chuckled: "Heh, young."

………………

On the other side, Chief Gordon felt his head start to hurt again, even though he had just been treated with the Shennong Ruler not long ago.

But this time it wasn't physical pain, but a kind of mental torture.

“Mr. Mayor, I’ve said it many times, I can’t order Batman around! And I can’t get anything from him!”

Moreover, Batman said that the thing had lost its magic and was just an ordinary hockey stick.

No! I'm not with Batman! I'm a Gotham police officer, always will be! I'm not Batman's henchman!
