Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 23:



Blue energy columns sprang up from the ground, appearing quite eerie.

By the afternoon, Syd had successfully upgraded the Spiritual Light Column to Level 2.

[Ability: Spiritual Light Column (0/500) Level 2]

The upgraded Spiritual Light Column not only had increased power but also emerged from the ground much faster.

He even felt that now the Spiritual Light Column could be launched not just from the ground but also from his hands!

Glancing at his abilities, almost all now at Level 2, Syd breathed a sigh of relief.

It was as if he had switched from a bird gun to a cannon; not only had the power of his abilities increased significantly, but he could also use his Level 2 abilities about forty times before depleting his internal energy!

"Now, only Sunlight All Around remains unimproved."

Syd murmured.

However, not only was Sunlight All Around noisy to deploy, but it also consumed a lot, and he estimated that upgrading it would be slow.

"Let's try it, see if I can do a castrated version."

Suddenly, brilliant sunlight emanated from Syd, indeed carrying the force of annihilation.

This time, however, there was no involvement of actual sunlight; it was entirely reliant on the light energy within his body.

He gradually increased the intensity until his entire body was obscured by brilliant light, and then a notification sounded in his ear.

[Sunlight All Around Experience +1]

"Whew..."

Syd breathed a little easier.

Although it still consumed a lot, compared to deploying full Sunlight All Around, it used much less.

If he were to deploy the full Sunlight All Around, it would completely drain all the energy in his body!

Next, he began practicing over and over again.

[Photon Energy +1]

[Photon Energy +1]

[Sunlight All Around Experience +1]

[Sunlight All Around Experience +1]

[Sunlight All Around Experience +1]

Until dusk when the sky gradually darkened, Syd finally stopped.

He glanced at the data for Sunlight All Around and breathed a sigh of relief.

[Ability: Sunlight All Around (23/100) Level 1]

"Almost there, I should be able to upgrade in a couple of days!"

Syd looked forward with some anticipation.

He wondered what it would be like when Sunlight All Around reached Level 2; would its power increase, or would its consumption decrease?

Or perhaps its range would suddenly expand, just like when Rebound Shield was upgraded to Level 2?

With hopeful feelings, Syd moved on from the spot, searching for a new place to stay.

Just half an hour after he left, a group of fully armed personnel appeared there.

"The target must have just left, search quickly!"

They hurried in and hurried out.

...

While Syd was searching for a new place to stay, he suddenly paused.

His gaze shifted suspiciously toward a distant figure.

Looking at a man in the distance wearing a black jacket and jeans, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

With curiosity, he slowly followed the man, intending to see where he was going.

After a while, he followed the man to the entrance of a bar.

As soon as he entered, a jarring noise hit his ears.

"Bang bang bang..."

The raucous rock music reverberated throughout the bar, lit by multicolored lights. The man he was following sat down at the bar and skillfully ordered a bottle of liquor. Watching the man smoking a cigar and drinking, Syd felt an increasing sense of familiarity. He took a closer look at the man's hairstyle and noticed that his hair was slightly raised, resembling two wolf ears.

"Is it him?"

Syd whispered the name, "Wolverine?"

With this certainty, he slowly approached the bar.

When they were just a few steps apart, he was almost sure.

He carefully observed the man drinking in front of him.

The man had a rugged face with strong, thick eyebrows and a full beard.

His body was sturdy and muscular, enveloped by masculine hormones, exuding a wild aura.

As Syd scrutinized, Logan also sized him up, the young man in front of him wore a white short-sleeved shirt and brown shorts.

His brown hair and blue eyes were visible through his mask, showing a clean and young face,

likely only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Logan furrowed his brow and stopped drinking.

Initially, he had noticed the kid seemed to be tracking him, initially thinking it was a

misperception until the other followed him into the bar.

He could now be sure, the kid was indeed tracking him!

But, he didn't seem to recognize this youngster?

Yet now, he approached as if he knew him?

Though puzzled, he still said, "Kid, stay away from me."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Saying that, he slammed his glass on the table, trying to intimidate the young man.

However, to Logan's confusion, the kid seemed stuck like glue, not moving at all, seemingly

unfazed?

With growing curiosity, he finally couldn't resist asking, "Kid, do you know me?"

Syd casually replied, "Of course, I not only know you, but I also know your name."

"Logan, right?"

Logan was startled, his confusion deepening, he swore he did not recognize the young man before him, but the youngster seemed to know him?

Syd looked at him, pondered for a moment, and continued, "I not only know you're called Logan, but I also know your other name..."

Logan's brows furrowed, but the next second his expression changed, hearing a name that felt

familiar.

"James Howlett."

Logan clutched his head, images flashed through his mind, seemingly revealing something,

but they vanished as quickly as they appeared.

When he recovered, his heavy hands suddenly grabbed the young man's shoulders.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Looking at the mysterious young man before him, a flash of shock passed through Logan's

eyes.

He knew, this young man was not lying, and indeed knew him.

He even suspected, this mysterious young man might know about his past!

Since losing his memory, he had been trying to retrieve it.

He never expected to find a clue today, and from such a young fellow?

Syd, whose shoulders were tightly grasped, was somewhat speechless.

He hadn't expected such a big reaction...

He was naturally very familiar with this guy, and knew quite a lot about him.

As a main character in X-Men, anyone who had seen it would definitely recognize him.

"Cough, cough, let go of your hands first," Syd coughed.

Hearing this, Logan realized he had overreacted, quickly releasing his tight grip.

Though he let go, his eyes still fixed intently on the mysterious young man.
