Chapter 619: Banana Evil, Not the Way (47)

You have thwarted the evil ninja's plot, saved many innocents, and without a doubt you now possess the bearing of a true ninja.

Am I truly a ninja now?

Of course—Ninja Disciple Luan Po. Bitter Tea Master solemnly called her name.

The disciple is present.

You have been under my tutelage for five years, unafraid of the hardships of arduous cultivation, unflinching in the face of trials, and have mastered countless ninja techniques. Today I bestow upon you the title of Entangled Ninja Hero; you will become our vanguard in the campaign against the evil ninjas, leading the Ninja Capital forward.

Thank you, Bitter Tea Master; the disciple is deeply honored…

Take this scroll. It contains the secret of Entangled Ninja Technique; it can unleash a dazzling hue that scares away evil spirits and dismantle the evil ninjas' formations. Sprinkle it over the Ninja Capital, using its inked colors to dispel the city's gloom and raise a banner of resistance against wickedness.

What should the disciple paint? Luan Po looked up, puzzled.

I don't know, Ninja Disciple. Bitter Tea Master shook his head. You may paint anything, interpreting the scroll you envision in your heart. This is a ninja technique belonging to you.

—So, you must decide for yourself.

Full-time hunter.

So the words Bitter Tea Master said back then actually meant this… I never expected that the so-called rebellion against the evil ninjas would involve these research apes.

Inside the palace of the East Gorodo Republic, the King of the Hybrid Ants Mei Lu Aimu unusually displayed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Everything now connects, and this has sparked his keen interest in the "Bitter Tea Master."

Undoubtedly, this man lacks power, is exceedingly weak, yet he dares to oppose the institute and the Primitive Doctor's doctrine… Isn't he afraid of death?

Mei Lu Aimu's golden pupils flickered slightly; as the Ant King, he believes he must rule all humans, but before ruling, he wishes to fully understand humanity—previously, he thought death was the best lever over humans, that any human would submit to his high-handed rule if threatened with death.

But now, a counterexample seems to be playing out in the sky dome.

Pu Fu, tell me, why does this elder dare take such a risk and do this with Luan Po?

Pu Fu pondered carefully and replied cautiously, "Lord, based on my observations, the answer likely lies in that Galactic Ninja Manual; it is the belief in 'upholding the weak and overthrowing the strong' that drives them."

"Belief…" Mei Lu Aimu repeated thoughtfully.

In my humble opinion, aside from humans like Luan Po who are born altered, most humans are weak, but "belief" can unite them and unleash astonishing power. With belief, they no longer fear death.

Is that so? Then what would happen if we killed them all?

If it were you, Lord, I believe you could certainly achieve it. But belief is like a spark on the prairie; a small cluster can become a raging wildfire, reorganizing new forces that sweep in. Those roaming sea rangers are probably such people.

Luan Po, following Bitter Tea Master's instructions, infused the secret incantation into the dazzling hue, covering the formation's eye with the incantation; this is the marvelous Ninja Science.

Soon, a colorful graffiti appeared at the formation's eye.

"Nengren 75, what's going on? The institute is filled with his Jiao's electronic graffiti, crashing the security system!!" Ai Dai Hallmaster roared at Bitter Tea Master.

The master wore an innocent expression, even more flustered than she was: "I don't know, it must be a hacker intrusion—I'll handle it right away."

"Hurry! If it's not fixed, the rangers will come knocking!!"

After Ai Dai Hallmaster stormed off, Luan Po rushed to the master's side: "Bitter Tea Master, the disciple has already placed Entangled Ninja Talismans throughout the Ninja Capital."

"Well done, Entangled Ninja. Now the evil ninjas' formations cannot restrict our communication ninja arts." Bitter Tea Master lifted his head in pain, "Come quickly, rangers, and end this absurd farce soon—"

"Stop!" Ai Dai Hallmaster returned leading a battle ape, looking incredulously at Bitter Tea Master: "Nengren 75, what are you doing?!"

"Nengren 22…"

"Unbelievable, you deceived test subjects, deceived academic partners, deceived research apes—The biggest fault of Lab 17 is letting a scholarly fraud like you slip in!!"

"Ai Dai Hallmaster… what are you saying?" Luan Po looked at the master, confused.

"Luan Po, she is a subordinate of the evil ninjas."

Marvel Universe.

In the hall of the New York Sanctuary, Tony was comfortably sunk into an antique sofa that looked older than him, leisurely awaiting an imminent battle.

"Captain, as a genetically altered super soldier, how much time do you think it will take you to deal with that battle ape?"

Facing Tony's mildly teasing question, Steve shrugged helplessly: "That's not comparable, Tony. The super serum only needs a single injection. And if the serum's effect were comparable to Luan Po's gene drug, it would be like she drinks super serum as water every day for ten years, whereas I've only taken it once."

Initially the computer experiment data was only at 15% progress; now, her data has likely multiplied four to five times, giving her thousands‑fold muscle strength and tens of thousands‑fold speed, making a vibranium shield in front of her about as effective as a piece of paper.

"…Uh, don't put it that way, Dr. Banner." Steve glanced at him awkwardly, "If you say it like that, I don't even know whether I should fight with this shield; you make it sound so fragile."

At that moment, the battle in the sky dome had already erupted, and Ai Dai Hallmaster hysterically commanded the battle ape to attack Luan Po.

Seeing this, Tony gestured to the few people nearby: "Alright, I won't chat any longer; the fight is about to start, I need to record her combat data—"

Thud—!

Before the words finished, a massive thudding echoed in the sky dome. In the blink of an eye, the hulking battle ape had collapsed and stayed down.

…

Tony, looking bewildered, turned to the captain: "What just happened……"

I didn't see clearly; I only saw the battle ape collapse right as it was about to fight, and Luan Po didn't even move.

Huh?

"That battle ape seemed to have been struck on the head by some heavy object," Strange floated up slowly from the first floor, "…I didn't see clearly either, but Tony, don't you have a high‑speed camera recording? If you slow it down a thousandfold, you might see Luan Po's movements."
