Currently, Charles and Erik had reached Beta Class (Level 3), possessing the strongest and most stable abilities.
Alex could be considered Level 3, but his control was too poor. Only when he could control his powers freely would he officially enter Beta Class.
Raven, Darwin, Sean, Salvatore, and Hank remained around Gamma Class (Level 2).
With the US-Soviet war about to erupt, they didn't have much time to train.
In the following period, the nascent X-Men would train their physical fitness, combat skills, and combat awareness with Artoria in the morning, and Han Shaoqing would conduct practical training in the afternoon.
With Han Shaoqing and Artoria's guidance, Raven and the others avoided many detours and progressed rapidly.
At the same time, Han Shaoqing was also honing his own control through practical training with the X-Men.
His strength was growing rapidly. With every casual movement, he possessed the power of tens or even hundreds of tons. If his control wasn't sufficient, a friendly pat on the shoulder could easily kill someone.
It was only now that Han Shaoqing understood the suffering of a Superman!
It was like a normal person trying to step over an ant without harming it, which was incredibly difficult.
Han Shaoqing had to constantly control his power; otherwise, even normal life would be troublesome.
For example, opening a door and snapping off the doorknob, or shaking hands and crushing someone's bones.
To put it dramatically, Han Shaoqing even worried that a fart could send the person behind him flying!
This was probably the trouble of the strong, making it very difficult to get along with ordinary people.
Ordinary people feared mutants for a reason: because many mutants couldn't control their powers and could accidentally cause destructive harm to those around them.
Mutants, after being subjected to various forms of discrimination and prejudice, are prone to developing antisocial tendencies, which can lead them down extreme paths.
If left unchecked, conflict between humans and mutants is inevitable.
On the afternoon of the sixth day, at Xavier's Estate, Erik, wearing a specially made combat suit, stood a hundred meters away and shouted, "Come on!"
"Ready?"
Artoria, dressed in a small suit, stood on the platform with a valiant air, though the Gatling Gun she held made the scene feel somewhat incongruous.
Charles, standing to the side, was a bit worried: "Erik, are you sure you can handle this?"
Erik laughed, "Of course, I am Magneto."
Feeling Erik's confidence, and seeing Han Shaoqing's relaxed expression beside him, Charles sighed, "Alright, good luck."
"Here it comes."
Artoria held the Gatling Gun in one hand and pulled the trigger with the other.
"Tatatata~"
The black six-barreled Gatling Gun spun, the muzzle spitting out long flames, and bullets immediately poured out at an extremely fast rate. As for the recoil from the shooting, it was insignificant to Artoria.
Erik was on high alert. With a wave of his hand, the bullets that were being fired at him slowed down rapidly under the control of the magnetic field. Ultimately, the dense mass of bullets were all frozen in mid-air, refracting specks of golden light under the sunlight.
"My god, it's incredible!"
Moira's expression was one of shock, once again stunned by the power of the mutants, and she felt a trace of fear and unease in her heart.
Because Erik's progress was too rapid, and judging from the current situation, this was far from Erik's limit.
If one day humans and mutants went to war?
She really couldn't imagine it.
The gunfire stopped. Erik released his grip, and all the bullets in mid-air dropped to the ground, making a clanging sound.
"Yes!"
Erik struck a fist-pumping pose, a smile on his face. He hadn't been this happy in a long time.
Besides the improvement in strength, it was also because he was accompanied by a group of like-minded people, making him feel less alone.
Under Han Shaoqing's guidance, he could now control more and larger pieces of metal through his magnetic field, and his precision had also greatly improved.
With a thought, Erik took flight. Because he was wearing the combat suit Hank had specially made, which was mixed with metal, his flying speed was not bad, giving him greater maneuverability.
"Congratulations, Erik."
Seeing Erik flying over, Charles stepped forward and patted his shoulder, genuinely happy for him.
"Thank you. It would be even better if you could stop peeking at other people's memories!"
Erik joked.
"I'll try my best to restrain myself."
The current Charles was not as self-aware as he would be in his old age. He often peeked at other people's memories, mainly due to a habit formed since childhood, which he couldn't change immediately. It was also a subconscious reaction for self-protection.
"Who's next?"
Raven spoke, she currently didn't have control over the ability to simulate other people's X-Gene, so there wasn't any obvious change in her strength.
Han Shaoqing looked at Alex and Darwin, who were whispering to each other: "Ruinator, Darwin, you two go and spar. Use your full strength, don't hold back. I'll heal any injuries, and if you break anything, the Professor will buy new ones."
"Then we can really let loose and have a good fight."
Darwin stretched his body and walked to the grass in front.
"Darwin, I let you win last time, but this time is different. Let me show you my new equipment."
Alex stretched his body and revealed a pair of special gloves, walking to face Darwin.
Raven looked at Hank: "What's this new thing?"
"Superpower Gloves. They can absorb the laser energy in Alex's body and concentrate it for emission. There's an adjuster on the gloves that can help Alex control and regulate the energy output."
Facing Raven's inquiry, Hank answered without reservation.
Raven, though not fully understanding, nodded and turned to Han Shaoqing.
After Alex took the stage, the mutants, including Erik and Charles, silently retreated behind Han Shaoqing and Artoria.
Following Artoria's command, "Begin."
Darwin immediately began to transform. In the blink of an eye, his body was covered in a layer of hard, thick black armor, making him look like an oversized pangolin, significantly enhancing his defense.
"Darwin, prepare to be Ruinated by me."
Alex warned, and a red laser energy surged from his body. It was then absorbed and converted by his combat suit. Through the device on his arm, it gathered in the palm of his Superpower Gloves, and then a crimson laser beam shot out.
The laser beam possessed high heat and extreme impact, somewhat similar to Superman's heat vision.
Darwin lowered his body and blocked the laser beam's impact with his arms in an X-shape.
His arms felt a bit hot, but Darwin's body quickly adapted to the heat. He'd already had many practical training sessions with Darwin, and they both knew each other's abilities well.
Under the powerful impact of the laser beam, Darwin's body began to retreat, his feet plowing two shallow furrows in the grass.
