Chapter 145: Bucky Delivers Letter
Back at the Floating Temple, Alex came to X Academy for the first time, ready to intensify his current body and abilities. After losing the replication ability that he relied on, Alex's real attacking ability was gone, and the only thing he could do was energy control, and now Alex must train energy control.
However, before starting training, Alex first took a look at his frozen body, and after completing the transfer of consciousness that day, Alex immediately took his body back to the floating temple and handed it over to Howard to freeze.
"How long?" Looking through the frosted glass at the slightly blue ice cubes inside, Alex's mood was a little strange and inexplicable.
Howard stood beside Alex, was slightly startled when he heard his question, and said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, as long as this floating island does not sink, it can be frozen forever!" ”
Alex smiled, stopped talking, took a deep look at his frozen body, turned and left.
After finding a training room and locking the door, Alex prepared to intensify his training. However, before he can start, Alex needs to find a training direction for himself so that he can form a battle as soon as possible.
Energy control, in general, Alex believes that it can be divided into two promotion directions, one is fine control, the control of energy is meticulous, to put it bluntly, it is to do what you want energy to do; The other is strength control, the stronger the energy that can be controlled, the greater the power will naturally be, and an energy ball the size of a fist is naturally no better than an energy ball the size of a head.
Of course, the best way to improve energy control is to go hand in hand. But Alex doesn't have time right now, and AIM and the Hellfire Club are eyeing each other. Alex must improve his combat power as soon as possible. to compensate for the lack of replication capabilities.
It stands to reason. Alex should have chosen the second option, but after some deliberation, Alex chose the first option as the direction of promotion.
At the end of the day, it's a matter of time.
It is not realistic to greatly increase the intensity of energy control in a short period of time, it is a water mill, just like an empty reservoir with only one water inlet, and you can only wait to fill the reservoir slowly. No matter how fast an inlet is, it can't go anywhere.
Fine control is different, although this is also a skill that practice makes perfect, but with Alex's strong mental power, it is not too difficult to quickly improve this ability.
Once he had decided on a direction to improve, Alex began to train without sleep. Alex is now an energy body, he doesn't feel tired at all, as long as his mental power can support it, Alex can continue to train.
But after only two days of training, Alex was called out by Emma. Because there's movement on Straker's side.
"How's it going, Alex?" Watching Alex come out in good spirits. Emma asked, a little worried. Originally, Emma didn't want to disturb Alex, but now things are a little troublesome, and Bucky the Winter Soldier comes in person, and Emma can't help but call Alex out.
Although it was only two days, Alex's progress was very great, and it was obvious from the appearance alone.
Alex's current body is a flame spirit, and his fiery red body is like a burning flame, and the blazing temperature can incinerate everything nearby without Alex's control. But looking at Alex now, he can't tell from his appearance that he is a body of flames, but more like a strange human being, just like the original Red Devil.
"It's never been better!" Alex said as he reached out and took Emma in his arms, and leaned in and kissed Emma on the forehead, smiling. After this incident, Alex has changed a lot, and the intimate movements that he rarely did before are now at his fingertips and extremely proficient.
Emma's face flushed slightly, but she didn't refuse, on the contrary, she was even more happy.
Activating the teleportation to take Emma back to the Floating Temple, Alex didn't have time to greet everyone, his eyes were fixed on the person standing proudly in the center of the temple, and the familiar back was none other than Bucky Barnes.
"Bucky?!" Looking at Bucky's familiar back, Alex excitedly left Emma and ran straight over, not approaching, standing a few steps away from Bucky's back, a face like crying and smiling.
Winter Soldier Bucky heard the sound, turned around, his face was strangely white and cold, as if there was a layer of frost, his indifferent eyes looked Alex up and down, threw out a letter casually, and said in a deep voice: "The letter has been delivered, farewell!" As soon as he finished speaking, Bucky turned around and was about to leave, his steps resolute without a moment's delay.
Alex naturally wouldn't let Bucky leave, reached out to take the letter, dodged in front of Bucky, and said earnestly: "I'm sorry, Bucky, I have to keep you!" ”
"I have a bomb on me, and if I don't get out of here in another ten seconds, it will explode immediately!" Bucky looked at Alex with a blank face, and his tone was calm without a hint of waves, as if the self-explosion had nothing to do with him.
Alex's eyes shrank slightly, and there was a gloomy murderous aura in his fiery red eyes, but he had no choice but to slowly let go of his body and let Bucky walk out of the temple.
The other X-Men who stopped in front saw Alex like this, and they didn't dare to make any moves, so they could only let him go.
"Who knows if what he said is true?" In the crowd, there was a lowly belly slander, very light, but it was unusually loud in the slightly silent temple.
Alex Huo Ran turned around, glared at the person who had just spoken, with a fierce face, and opened his mouth to spit out a word: "Get out!" ”
The person who spoke was stunned for a moment, looked up and saw Alex's expression, couldn't help shrinking his body, didn't dare to have the slightest complaint, carefully drilled out of the crowd, and disappeared without a trace.
Alex turned his gaze back to Bucky, who was about to walk out of the Floating Temple, and was silent for a long time, before suddenly shouting loudly, "Bucky, don't you really remember my brother?" Alex wasn't sure if Bucky's previous threat was real or fake, but whether it was true or not, Alex didn't dare bet on it.
Hearing Alex's shout, Howard in the temple couldn't help but reddened his eyes slightly, he followed Alex all the way, and knew the friendship of the three brothers at the beginning. Now, one is missing, one is missing, one is being used for amnesia, and the only one who is sober almost died not long ago, and the three brothers are really fateful.
Howard so, let alone Monroe. Among the people present, she is the only one who is close to Alex and Bucky, and she is even closer than Howard. Monroe is Alex's sister and Bucky's sister! What's more, this is also the first time Monroe has seen each other since learning that Bucky was sacrificed, how can she hold back her tears, and her face is full of tears in an instant, pitiful.
It's a pity that the crowd in the temple was pitiful, but the winter soldier Bucky, who walked to the door, walked out without hesitation, and disappeared into a building in a breath. (To be continued......)
