"Hmm!" Coulson nodded solemnly, and said in a heavy tone: "I saw with my own eyes that Thor and the others were taken into the sky by a bridge of colorful light in the blink of an eye and disappeared without a trace. ”

"Thor's strength is very strong, the Destroyer can almost be said to be able to sweep everything, but after Thor retrieves his divine power, he can easily destroy the Destroyer, and his strength is at least no worse than Magneto and Professor Charles." Nick Fury's face was calm, and when he mentioned Magneto and Professor Charles, the hearts of the others present suddenly relaxed inexplicably.

"But Odin is stronger, and as far as I know, Odin almost easily deprived Thor of all his divine powers and banished him to Earth." Coulson shook his head slightly and continued: "And the strength of Heimdall, who is rumored to be in charge of the Rainbow Bridge, is not under Thor, and there is also Loki who controls the destroyer to chase Thor, and the strength of Asgard is completely predictable. But luckily, Thor is much kinder to Earth, and he personally admits that he can be an ally with us......"

"I'll wait until Thor comes back to Earth, I'm going to meet with him personally, and Mr. President and several members of the Security Council will also want to meet with the alien prince to determine how Earth will get along with Asgard." Nick Fury knew in his heart that Odin might not have the earth in his eyes, but Thor, because of Jane, had a good impression of the earth.

"I'll rush back to New Mexico as soon as I get back to New Mexico and wait for Thor to come back from Asgard." Coulson immediately understood what Nick Fury meant.

"Hmm." Nick Fury nodded slightly, and continued to advise: "Miss Foster's side must be protected and there will be no accidents. ”

"I know that I will continue to strengthen the protection of Miss Foster when I get back." Coulson answered in a deep voice.

"It looks like the Avengers plan is going to be stepped up." Nick Fury rubbed his temples vigorously, his eyes fell on Melinda on the side, and asked seemingly casually, "Mei, you have the most contact with Ling Xiao, what kind of person do you think he is?" ”

"Huh?" Melinda was slightly stunned, she didn't know what Fury meant by this, although she had just met Ling Xiao yesterday, but in fact, Coulson had more contact with Ling Xiao than her, much deeper. However, Melinda didn't mention this, and thought for a while before she continued: "Ling Xiao's parents died when he was a child and he grew up in an orphanage, so his personality is a little withdrawn, a little suspicious, and relatively cautious.

However, for compatriots of Chinese descent at the same time, his attitude is much kinder, I have checked the information, he will donate 10,000 US dollars every month to the local orphanage in Los Angeles, of course, most of the orphans in these orphanages are of Chinese descent. I always thought that he was an ordinary person who knew a little about Chinese martial arts, if it wasn't for Coulson who saw it with my own eyes this time, I couldn't believe that he was talking about Ling Xiao and I knew the same person. ”

Nick Fury frowned and continued to ask, "So what do you think of his strength?" ”

"After all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but listening to what Coulson said about the Eastern Heavenly Court and the like, I should have learned the art of cultivating immortals in Eastern mythology like Ling Xiao." After a slight pause, seeing that everyone else was frowning, Melinda changed the description and said: "The immortal is a creature equal to a god, and it is said that it has the ability to live forever and turn rivers and seas. ”

"What!" Although everyone present has seen all kinds of strange people and events in the world, they still can't help but exclaim when they hear that there is likely to be the same mythical world as Asgard in the world.

"You don't have to be so nervous." Melinda smiled slightly, waved her hand and said, "Those are all myths and legends, isn't the Thor we saw not as powerful as the god of thunder in Norse mythology?" Even if those immortals did exist, they were just more powerful creatures than us, let alone whether they still existed. It's not been a year or two since we had contact with the Eastern Continent, and we've never seen an immortal appear. ”

"Not bad!" Nick Fury nodded calmly and said, "As far as I know, there are indeed some immortal relics on the Eastern Continent, but the big country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean has not gained anything of value from it. Let's take a look at this! ”

As he spoke, Nick Fury handed a stack of folders to Hill on the side, and Hill handed them out to the others, with the word Top Secret written on them.

This is Coulson and Stark's assessment of Ling Xiao. Coulson, can you explain it to everyone. ”

"Yes, Director." Coulson pressed the top-secret document in his hand, looked at the others, and said in a deep voice: "After discussing with Mr. Stark, I finally decided to set Ling Xiao's strength at B+ level and the threat level at C. ”

S.H.I.E.L.D. has its own set of evaluation systems for the strength and threat level of creatures on this earth, for example, Magneto is S-class strength, S+-level threat level, Professor Charles is also S-class strength, but his threat level is only S-level, this is because after the Stryker incident, after Professor Charles was angry, S.H.I.E.L.D. raised his threat level by one level.

Wolverine and Storm Girl have an A-level strength, Wolverine is A- at the threat level, while Storm Girl only has B+.

S.H.I.E.L.D. positioned Ling Xiao's strength as B+, but in their opinion, they still overestimated Ling Xiao a little, and added the Heavenly Soldier armor to it. But in fact, Ling Xiao's lethality has reached the A- level, after all, there are many real methods, and he has not yet used them.

After everyone finished flipping through the documents in their hands, Nick Fury looked at Melinda again and asked in a deep voice, "Mei, is it true that what Ling Xiao said about his cultivation cannot be expanded on a large scale?" ”

"That's right." Melinda nodded seriously and said, "I don't know what Ling Xiao is cultivating, I'll take the most famous qigong in the East as an analogy, let's listen to it." ”

Hearing the word qigong, all the faces of those present were a little strange, they are not those who have no knowledge, they have a deep understanding of the big country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, twenty years ago, a wave of qigong was set off on the other side, but before S.H.I.E.L.D. could have an in-depth understanding of it, it had already exposed the deception itself.

Melinda took everyone's expressions into her eyes, and then continued without moving: "Qigong is also called internal strength, the real qigong practice conditions are very harsh, first of all, you must have excellent qualifications, this kind of qualification is one in a million, and you must start cultivating from the time when the bones are not finalized when you are a child, in the process of cultivation, in addition to having a strong will, excellent master guidance, in addition to a lot of resources to invest. ”

"How much investment does it take, and how much strength does it take to have the strength of Ling Xiao?" Nick Fury sat up straight and stared straight at Melinda.

"Ling Xiao like this?" Melinda frowned and turned to look at Coulson, who was sitting across from her.

"Director!" Coulson and Melinda glanced at each other, and took over the topic in a deep voice: "I once checked Ling Xiao's income, on the surface, Ling Xiao earned four or five million dollars in last year, in addition, he also took advantage of the turmoil in Stark Industries to deliberately short Stark Industries' stocks, so that he earned nearly 20 million, and then he changed hands and bought all the money into Stark Industries' shares." The market value of these stocks is now double that of the original purchase. ”

"This is only last year, and the year before last, the year before last, he earns a lot every year, but now he only has a pharmacy in Los Angeles, a villa, and the rest should be invested in cultivation, I estimate that it should be at least nearly ten million dollars." Melinda's face was quite solemn.

"Ten million dollars!" Nick Fury began to think carefully, if he could gain a master like Ling Xiao with only investing tens of millions of dollars, it would be impossible.
