The morning sun bathed the earth in its gentle light. In a nearby square, a group of highly skilled teenagers engaged in intense martial arts training, their shouts and battle cries filling the air.
Under the guidance of Ivan, these young martial artists honed their kung fu skills to an exceptional level. Their powerful kicks could crack the concrete beneath them, and their punches shattered wooden stakes, feats that would leave ordinary individuals with broken bones. However, these dedicated youths had spent nearly a decade perfecting their martial arts under Ivan's tutelage.
Out of the initial 100 students, only 50 or 60 remained. Some had given up due to the rigorous training, while others found issues with Ivan's teaching methods or felt they had reached their limit. The ones who persisted were not only skilled but also highly disciplined. With some military training, they could easily outperform a hundred elite soldiers on the battlefield.
Ivan had been in China for almost a decade. During this time, he returned to Skull Island for research only one or two months a year. The rest of his time was devoted to teaching and assisting domestic scientific research.
During this period, Ivan made significant discoveries. He solved the problem of summoning the soul in the Cradle of Rebirth on Skull Island by creating a soul-summoning magic circle. He also found a way to control zombies through a unique virus, which he named the T virus. Additionally, he stumbled upon a mysterious Gu worm with highly malleable genes that could take on various forms, making it possible to transform souls into different bodies.
Despite his successes, Ivan faced challenges when trying to replicate the Gu worm. Only three out of nearly 1,000 attempts were successful. He learned that this particular Gu worm was a rarity, with only a few successful cases in more than a thousand years. The one Ivan received was likely a legacy from past generations, passed to him to help with a research problem.
Realizing the difficulty of reproducing the Gu worm, Ivan stored the three he had successfully refined and the one he received. These could be valuable assets in the future, especially for those who were not mutants and needed a way to extend their lives.
While watching the youths train in the square, Ivan turned to Azazel and asked about recent news involving his father's plan to use nuclear bombs to accelerate mutant awakenings. Azazel believed that with Mr. Shaw's current influence and power, the plan was likely to succeed.
However, Ivan held a different perspective. He thought that the plan's success wasn't solely determined by Shaw's strength. It involved cosmic consciousness and the balance of nature. He believed that his father's approach, which sacrificed innocent lives, would ultimately be opposed by the universe's greater forces and go against the natural order.
"Dr. Ivan, is there any problem with this?"
"Forget it, there are some things that I can't explain to you, which will only make you distressed. Go and pack up your things first. We've been here long enough, and we're leaving."
Red Devil was surprised. He didn't expect Ivan to suddenly ask to leave, but it makes sense when you think about it. Speaking of which, Red Devil has followed Ivan for a long time, but because it is the first time he has seen Ivan stay with him. A place for such a long time has done research in China for nearly ten years.
"Then Dr. Ivan, are we going directly back to Skull Island?"
"No, before I do, I have to go to a special place, a remote mountain village in China. It is surrounded by mountains and is almost isolated from the world, but there is a dragon temple dedicated to the legendary dragon. It is said that the nearby villagers use a kind of water from the temple to cure diseases, and the effect is good. Some people sent some water samples in the past two years. I found that it is a kind of natural active water. I've said it before when I'm sick, and I'm going to see if there is a legendary dragon."
"So when do we leave?"
"Go and pack your things. I already told Captain Zhao two days ago that I would leave later. You happened to go to Kerry's side to help, so I didn't have time to inform you."
Seeing that things were so urgent, Red Devil didn't say anymore. He went straight into the house and got busy. He didn't have much to take care of, because there was a box with a traceless extension spell beside Ivan, and most of the things were in it. , it's easy to pack up with just some simple clothing.
With a creak, the door was opened, and a group of teenagers who were practicing there immediately stopped moving. Almost instinctively, they quickly gathered together, stood in a row, and shouted in unison, "Hello, teacher"
Looking at the smooth movements of the group of teenagers and the respectful gaze in their eyes, Ivan showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Ivan stood on the steps, glanced at each child, and finally sighed, "It's been almost ten years, and the little guys from the original family have grown up. I have seen your efforts over the years. In the same way, you have also reaped the corresponding rewards, and I also got what I wanted. I was very happy during this time with you, but there is no such thing as a banquet in the world. This time I am here to say goodbye to you. I want to go home, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again in the future.
As soon as Ivan's words were finished, the following group of sixteen or seventeen-year-old children burst into flames and chatted one after another. One of the leading children couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, why are you leaving? Are we doing something wrong? Are you angry?"
Ivan smiled and shook his head, "It has nothing to do with you, it's my reason, although I have a good time here, after all, I also have my own home, and I miss my relatives, so I can't stay outside all the time, right? I have already reported this to the government, I will leave today, although it will take a few days before I leave China, but I will not come back here again, so I will say goodbye to you in advance."
The eyes of a group of teenagers turned red, and they all begged Ivan to stay, but Ivan had already made up his mind, how could they be able to persuade them, in the end, it was the leading child who calmed the others down, knelt suddenly, and asked Ivan slapped his head three times,
"Teacher, we will always keep your teaching feelings in our hearts. I hope we can meet again in the future. If there is a chance, we must repay your kindness. Teacher, thank you for everything you have done for us."
"Teacher, thank you"
At this time, the other children also reacted and knelt at the same time.
This time, Ivan did not refuse and accepted their thanks. To be honest, he still has some feelings for these children. After all, they had been with each other for nearly ten years, but Ivan did not show it. To be honest, Ivan doesn't like this. A parting scene,
Under the gaze of a group of half-old children, Ivan walked out of the gate but stopped as soon as he walked out of the distance because those children had been closely following him.
Ivan came back to his senses and shouted sharply: "What are you all like? Have you forgotten the rules I set for you? It's time to practice, do you want to be lazy? What's the first rule?"
A group of teenagers replied almost instinctively, "Practice Martial Arts in winter and Martial Arts in summer. Keep practicing the exercises whenever and wherever, and keep practicing."
"Since you know what you're doing with me, go back and practice"
All the young people, look at me, I look at you and finally turned around and returned to the square, re-entering the arduous practice, and the shouts kept coming.
Ivan glanced at them one last time, then turned his head away as soon as he gritted his teeth.
