Chapter 1888: New Abilities With 60 Dexterity, What Do You Like?

After his Dexterity reached 60, Luke’s reflexes improved significantly.

It wasn’t just a matter of making up for his shortcomings, but that Strength finally triggered a chain reaction.

At 60 Strength, he had still been completely suppressed by Thor and the Hulk, more so by the Hulk.

60 Mental Strength enabled him to swiftly determine how to react during a battle.

60 Dexterity could transmit that decision to his body at the same time.

Coupled with abilities like Muscle Control and his mastery of physical techniques, he could now at least fight Thor and the Hulk to a certain extent even without his suit.

Thor and the Hulk were tank-like fighters who could easily go berserk when battling the enemy.

Luke used his wits and agility, and it was easy for the enemy to miss when trying to hit him.

Any other similar fighter would be heavily injured by one punch from Thor or the Hulk, so it was very risky to face them.

But Luke also had Elementary Healing, Muscle Control and mastery of various physical techniques.

He could use his abilities to turn serious injuries into minor injuries, which would heal quickly.

And that was in a situation where Luke didn’t have tech or gear, or the support of other abilities.

At full strength, Luke would be on par with Thor and the Hulk.

The only drawback was that he didn’t have Thor’s Mjölnir or the Hulk’s practically indestructible brute force.

Luke didn’t care about that at all.

Thor had one of the best fathers in the universe, while for Dr. Banner, the Hulk wasn’t some good thing.

Luke, who relied on his own efforts to excel and who didn’t have to pay the sort of price that Dr. Banner did, naturally wasn’t that simple.

…

After his 60 Dexterity breakthrough, Luke holed up in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the research inst.i.tute and studied himself every day.

Two days later, his condition stabilized.

He finally opened another ‘mystery treasure box.’

Elementary Vibration. Prerequisites: 60 Strength, 60 Dexterity, 60 Mental Strength, 500,000 Credit. Partially available.

Thanks to Skye’s grat.i.tude, he had been qualified to learn this ability a long time ago, but had yet to fulfill the prerequisites for his stats.

However, he already had detailed data on the original version of Skye’s ability, from the moment she awakened them to how they grew stronger. He knew even more than Skye did about her own ability.

The growth of this ability was quite terrifying.

Even if Luke could only learn the poor man’s version, it was enough to make him look forward to it.

After his Credit dropped by 500,000, a lot of bewildering information appeared in his head.

Luke closed his eyes for more than ten minutes before he opened them and raised his hands.

A light vibration appeared above his hands, and he swung his hands out at the metal table in front of him.

Clang!

There was a crunch and a light hum which echoed in the lab, but only a large part of the metal table caved in.

He frowned and shook his head. “Too weak. This isn’t the right way to use this.”

Saying that, he entered another lab.

There were various targets here to test abilities on, along with all kinds of monitoring equipment for taking detailed readings which would be helpful in a.n.a.lyzing the abilities and enabling a person to master their strength more quickly.

Luke had to confirm the difference between his poor man’s version and Skye’s original version of the ability first.

After being busy for half a day, the results finally came out.

To put it simply, Skye’s control over shock waves was more flexible and straightforward.

She used the ability like it was her own limb, while Luke was using a ‘mechanical prosthetic.’

Skye’s ability got stronger without her even needing to think about it.

Hence, her training had to do with suppressing, adapting and adjusting to her ability.

For example, breaking a large rock with 10% power, not starting with 50% power, or going all out with 100% explosive force.

Luke, on the other hand, had to gradually familiarize himself with the ‘mechanical prosthetic’ and slowly increase his output from 10% onward.

Even then, the poor man’s version of Vibration was unimaginably useful.

It was in line with many of Luke’s previous guesses, such as being able to combine with and reinforce Elementary Sound Wave.

A brand new superpower was waiting to be developed.

In addition, Vibration was also related to certain parts of the Kunlun Chi Refining Technique.

Some targeted the chi itself, some targeted the body, and some targeted the enemy.

However, the Kunlun Chi Refining Technique hadn’t been created by a superhuman with vibration powers. It was just that vibration was used in certain parts, and research in this aspect was inevitably complicated and difficult.

He might gain a lot from the Chi Refining Technique + Vibration in the future, but he wouldn’t make any progress in the short term.

Lastly, he activated the Vibration ability on his body.

High Frequency Arm, High Frequency Foot and High Frequency Iron Head were too mystical; it was enough to just study them in pa.s.sing; there was no need to invest too much energy in them.

On the other hand, he could try some tricks with Jenny.

Superpowers were meaningless if they couldn’t create happiness between people.

…

Looking at Luke, who hadn’t stopped smiling for the last two days, Selina was very suspicious.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t smile, but she felt that his smile wasn’t decent, and was even a little… despicable?

Finally, she grabbed his s.h.i.+rt while he was punching a sandbag and asked, “Tell me, what did you do?”

Luke blinked. “Haven’t you been at the research inst.i.tute with me for the past two days? I haven’t gone out yet.”

It was true that he hadn’t gone out yet to try some things with Jenny, but it wasn’t his main body who went out to entertain Max.

Staring at his sincere expression, Selina still felt that something wasn’t right. In the end, however, she could only let go of him. “Can Big Dipper teach that little witch well?”

Luke stopped hitting the sandbag, then pulled her over to the bar for a soft drink. He said, “It’s fine, Big Dipper is reliable.”

Selina had been managing the PDD on her own for the past few years, and now had a much broader mindset. She wasn’t easy to convince.

She immediately voiced her thoughts. “Big Dipper is very strong. He might be good at teaching, but he’s too ruthless. Are you sure he’s the right person to teach the little witch?”

Luke took a sip of his drink. “Are you saying that the witch is too extreme in her behavior, and in the face of a bloodthirsty Big Dipper, she might get blood on her in the future?”

Selina rolled her eyes. “That’s right. I think it’s safer for Knight to teach her.”

Luke glanced at her strangely. “Haven’t you noticed Wanda’s feelings about Big Dipper?”

Selina was stunned. “Feelings?”

Luke didn’t beat around the bush. “Wanda prefers Big Dipper to teach her, understand?”

Thinking for a moment, Selina ventured, “Are you saying that she likes older men?”

Luke said, “She sees him as an older relative, alright?”

Selina was shocked. “Is this in-”

Pa!

Luke slapped the back of her head and interrupted her. “I told you to stop watching so much HBO with Gold Nugget!”

Seven to eight meters away, Gold Nugget turned its head blankly. “Hm?”

Luke glared at it angrily. “What are you looking at? I’m talking about you! What’s on your tablet?”

Bewildered, Gold Nugget lowered its head to look at the drama playing on the screen. What’s wrong with HBO? How old am I? I was already an adult before I came to Earth.
