American comics: The off-the-charts random transformation

Ms. Shiva: [Yes, still there. Well then, see you at the usual place!]

Slade: [Okay, see you at the usual place.]

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

The sun is setting in the west...

After a long and winding journey, switching from a helicopter to a passenger plane and then to a taxi, Slade finally arrived at a rural martial arts school in Hong Kong.

Ms. Shiva, dressed in martial arts attire, was making tea and waiting for him.

"It's here? Where's the stuff?"

The voice was cold, yet tinged with curiosity.

Slade didn't keep anyone in suspense. He took out a small stack of A4 papers from his pocket, folded them, and placed them on the coffee table.

Ms. Shiva frowned. It wasn't a book in the style of an ancient text? Instead, it was a stack of unbound A4 papers!

"You don't trust me? Slade, are you trying to fool me with this handwritten copy?"

Slade shrugged helplessly and explained, "No, the original is still in Batman's hands. This is a replica I made using my amazing memory!"

Slade pointed to his brain, "My enhanced human brain has a photographic memory! It's an absolute one-to-one replica, without missing a single punctuation mark!"

Ms. Shiva picked up the stack of papers, and the title at the beginning of the papers made her pause for a moment—"The Self-Cultivation of a Magnetic Madman"?

I then skipped the title and began to carefully read the contents.

She didn't care why the content was in English; she figured it was normal for a foreigner to write in English.

But as she looked at it, she realized something was wrong!

Why is there a long string of words next to the records about meridians inside, written in... uh, Pinyin?

Is this pinyin used as the encryption method?! Or is the person who wrote this Chinese?!

She read aloud the sentence she had spelled out: "Electric current propulsion is the foundation. As long as you exceed the limits of electric current propulsion, you can obtain the most terrifying power in the world!"

The magnetic field is rotating!

If one can possess and relentlessly cultivate the rotation of a magnetic field, one can achieve [physical enhancement], [cellular recombination], [animal-like abilities], [mind reading], [matter recombination], [weather manipulation], and even, moreover, directly influence the Earth's magnetic field!

This outrageous and exaggerated description made Ms. Shiva's heart beat faster involuntarily!

Her hands trembled involuntarily. From the description, she knew how incredible this power was! So much so that she began to doubt whether it was real!

"Are you sure Batman's Robin succeeded?"

Slade Wilson nodded seriously; he still remembered those two punches propelled by the electric current!

"It should be a success. Every time he fights me, he shouts out electric current to propel him. Moreover, his strength, speed, and agility can completely suppress me, a superhuman!"

What do you think of the content of this book?

Ms. Shiva's face lit up with a very excited smile:

"Insane, absolutely insane! The cultivation methods described here are practically pushing the limits of human physiology! But I'm more than willing to try them!"

Slade flashed the same excited smile: "Are you planning on electric shock training? Or lightning strike training?"

Ms. Shiva didn't respond, but instead asked, "Oh, Slade Wilson, you came all this way to see me, you must have your own reasons, right? Tell me."

"I want to try lightning strike training! With my self-healing ability, I should be able to withstand it."

However, there's a lack of thunderstorms right now! Attracting lightning isn't practical. I think... you must have some other ideas!

Ms. Shiva narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying, "Hehe, for the sake of this book, I'll help you out! Let's go, if we're fast enough, we can get there before sunset!"

Slade laughed and said, "Heh, you seem much more impatient than I am!"

Their destination was a private power plant in the suburbs, owned by Ms. Shiva.

As one of DC's martial arts fanatics, Ms. Shiva also used electricity to train her body, but she gave up when she found that her body could not withstand too much electricity.

The electric current's destructive speed exceeded her own self-healing speed, not only failing to make her stronger but also slowing down her growth, so the electric current body tempering stopped for her.

Now, we have Slade's "The Self-Cultivation of a Magnetic Madman"!

She found the courage to practice again. Regardless of whether she succeeded or not, it was never a bad thing to try!

After driving for nearly an hour, they arrived at their destination.

"Your factory?"

Ms. Shiva nodded and introduced:

"Yes, the former owner of this factory came looking for trouble with me, so I took him out, and now this power plant is mine! What's mine, no one can take away unless I want to give it up!"

Ms. Shiva stared at Slade with sharp eyes, conveying the message: If you dare to have any wicked thoughts, I'll kill you!

Her overwhelming strength gave her extreme confidence! She was confident that no one could take anything from her!

"Okay, okay, I'll just ask!"

"Let's go, the power is plentiful here, and you can control the voltage! Let's see if this manual is as powerful as he claims!"

Ms. Shiva led the way into the power plant, but she was walking at a pace that was almost jogging, full of eagerness!

Chapter 35 Leaving Gotham, Repairing the Base (A Cozy Home)

The perspective returns to Gotham.

At the gate of Wayne Manor, Tian Xiaoban was saying goodbye to Alfred.

He felt that he now had enough ability to save his own life, and it was time to go out and travel, to temporarily leave this hellish place, Gotham.

Furthermore, even if Tian Xiaoban leaves Gotham, there's no need to worry about Gotham's future. With Jason's current strength, he's more than capable of dealing with most of Gotham's villains! (Except for those few overpowered characters in Gotham.)

Alfred tried to persuade him to stay, but Tian Xiaoban refused with the ever-present excuse: the world is so big, he wanted to go and see it.

Jason didn't care. He made a promise with Tian Xiaoban that they would have a serious match next time they met! Tian Xiaoban readily agreed to this small request.

Knowing he couldn't persuade him otherwise, Alfred handed Tian Xiaoban a black card, saying it was a thank-you gift for Bruce's help.

Tian Xiaoban readily accepted, as it's impossible to travel without money, and with this card, his daily travels would be more comfortable.

After saying goodbye to them, Tian Xiaoban walked towards the working-class area of ​​Gotham City.

The appearance of bounty hunters has made Gotham, which was previously rife with crime, much quieter; at least you don't have to worry about being robbed when you walk down the street.

Bored Chief Gordon spends his days watching surveillance footage and practicing his boxing, feeling like he's prematurely retired.

Those officers who had previously requested leave but were delayed due to the clown incident were all given leave during this rare period of peace.

Tian Xiaoban, who was leaping across rooftops in broad daylight, successfully found Selena feeding the cats on the roof. After exchanging pleasantries, Tian Xiaoban advised her to give up getting involved in the Owl Court's affairs.

Catwoman verbally agreed, but whether she would listen to his advice was beyond Tian Xiaoban's control.

"Alright, little brat, even if you grow taller and become more handsome, in my eyes you're still a little brat!"

You don't need to worry about my affairs. When I was in Gotham, you weren't even born yet! I know better than you where the dangers in Gotham are!

Selena was getting annoyed. She believed that in Gotham, if she wanted to leave, no one could stop her, not even the Court of Owls!

Tian Xiaoban knew it was useless to persuade her, so she handed her a magic amulet and said with a smile:

"Alright, Aunt Selena, here you go. This is a protective gadget I created using my superpowers. It can withstand one fatal attack. I'll ask Batman to take good care of you!"

Selena snatched it away and then flicked it on the head: "You should call me 'big sister,' you little rascal!"

Tian Xiaoban nimbly dodged and said to her with a smile, "Hehe, Aunt Selena, I'm planning to leave Gotham. I estimate I'll be gone for a long time, at least a year or more. If you need anything, just ask Batman. He owes me a favor!"

Selena remained silent, her emotions quite complex. Although that brat had demolished her safe house, Bruce Wayne had later paid to renovate it. When she asked Bruce why, he said it was at Tian Xiaoban's request.

She felt relieved after learning that Tian Xiaoban was with Bruce, but this guy actually wants to leave Gotham? Well, it's probably for the best…

"Leaving Gotham is good. It'll be good to see other cities... When are you leaving?"

"I'll say goodbye and leave today. Don't worry, I'm very strong!" Tian Xiaoban shook the alien watch on her left wrist!

Selena smiled slightly, waved, and left the rooftop.

Tian Xiaoban then went to the Gotham Orphanage again, swiped a large sum of money for the old director, and explained that he had made money and that the director and others should not worry.

Just as the dean and the others were trying to persuade him to stay, Tian Xiaoban said he had to leave Gotham for a business trip, which was quite far and would take a long time, so he came to reminisce.

When he left, everyone at the Gotham Orphanage came out to see him off.

………………

After leaving Gotham City, Tian Xiaoban ran at top speed, thinking back to the location of the empty shell base he had dug out earlier. He was going to clean it up!

In the DC universe, whether good or bad, protagonist or antagonist, everyone needs a secret base. This place must be secluded and safe, as only such a place can provide an escape from the turmoil of the world.

This secret haven allows them to shed their worldly masks, be themselves, and relax. It can be aptly described as a cozy home.

Driven by the electric current, Tian Xiaoban found the place that would normally take half a day to reach in just half an hour.

The mound of earth he had piled up is now overgrown with green weeds, looking very much like a grave.

The secret base, the "Tomb of the Living Dead," truly lives up to its name.

Within a 20-meter radius of the 'Living Dead Tomb', without the cover of large trees, all the trees had been stripped bare by MC Steve, leaving only bare branches where the original canopies had been.

After these days of natural recovery, many new saplings have sprouted on the ground, and weeds are growing wildly, competing with the saplings for sunlight.

This is the only place in the entire forest with a lush lawn, a stark contrast to the more distant primeval forest.

As Tian Xiaoban walked to the entrance of the 'Tomb of the Living Dead', several small dark figures rushed into the cave. Then, seeing the rat droppings at the entrance, she suddenly had a bad feeling!

It feels like an underground cave exploration!

Just to be on the safe side, Tian Xiaoban used irony: "Pool appears!" (A pool appears)

Ten meters from the entrance, under the transformation of magical power, the lawn-covered ground began to collapse, and a small 3×3×3 pool appeared in the mud.

"Then, transform!"

Bang!

The long-awaited green light burst forth!

"I've shrunk... Huh? I can talk? My hands have turned into scythes? My feet... These are mantis legs! Have I turned into a mantis?"

The small, delicate green body took a few awkward steps. Walking on four legs felt strange, as each leg seemed to have its own ideas!
