  "The essence of meditation is to stop thinking, withdraw from the mind, and reach a state of absolute tranquility, or even death..."

  In the brainwave amplification room, a strange space constructed entirely by spiritual energy.

  The magnificent endless sea of ​​stars slowly rotates at the dome, casting strands of blue starlight. The starlight is like a waterfall, pouring down between the scattered and gathered, and inevitably flows through an illusory figure floating cross-legged in the air.

  The starlight penetrates from the top of the figure's head, and then leaks directly from the bottom of the body, and finally merges into the gray mist that covers everything at the bottom of the space and dissipates without a trace.

  The whole process is silent, but every time the starlight waterfall washes through, the phantom in the air becomes a little clearer.

  The sea of ​​stars, phantoms, gray fog, and the blue star waterfall connecting the three together formed a wonderful picture with a very mysterious color. Under the picture was Xu Yue who was looking up, and the professor in front of him who was explaining with his eyes closed.

  "There are many different ways to meditate, but in the final analysis, the fundamental purpose is to eliminate all external and acquired influences and perceptions, so as to explore the most essential deep mind and reach a strange state of selflessness or selflessness, so as to achieve absolute control over one's body and mind."

  "This is a process of escaping, falling, and leaving. Forget it, get rid of it, then you can transcend it. In this regard, the spiritual space can play an excellent auxiliary role."

  "The location of the spiritual space itself is at the bottom of the unconscious, where it is naturally free from the influence of external physical desires. You only need to concentrate a little, and then wash the mind and body by responding to the countless pure spiritualities in the starry sea, which can purify the mind and strengthen the soul. At the same time, it can also eliminate the erosion of evil spirits in your body..."

  In his eyes, there is a concrete meditation picture, and in his ears, the principle process is broken down and explained in detail. Time passes quickly in this unique way of learning skills.

  I don't know how long it took. First, the explanation beside my ear stopped, and then the magnificent scenery around slowly dissipated, gradually revealing the cold metal inner wall behind, announcing the official end of this skill learning.

  "Xinhuo, the specific methods of meditation are quite extensive, including breathing, mindfulness, visualization, chanting, movements, etc. What I just explained to you is just one of the unique meditation methods developed by taking advantage of the spiritual space, but the structure of each person's spiritual space is often different, so you can refer to it appropriately, and you don't have to follow it blindly." "

  But if you don't want your mind to be affected by the increasingly fierce evil spirit in your body, you must never slack off in your meditation training."

  As he spoke, the professor took off the amplification helmet connected to the instrument, with a little imperceptible fatigue in his eyes. For a long time, the spiritual space was projected outward, and this process was not easy even for him.

  "Professor, thank you! I think you need to drink some of this now."

  Xu Yue's voice of thanks came from behind, and at the same time, there was an alluring sweet smell, which came from a full cup of royal jelly in the teacup.

  The professor raised his lips slightly, and did not refuse, but took the tea cup handed by Xu Yue quite naturally. The old man always likes sweets.

  In the past few days, after each teaching session, he would receive a cup of honey from Xu Yue, or ant honey that can warm the body, or royal jelly that can soothe the spirit. At first, the professor would refuse, but later he gradually got used to it, and accordingly, the spiritual knowledge he taught became more and more in-depth.

  As the sweet golden liquid slid into the throat, the feeling of fatigue in the mind quickly subsided, and even the aging body felt warm, and the lower limbs that should have been unconscious also began to fluctuate faintly recently, with a strange illusion of renewed vitality.

  Putting down the tea cup in his hand, the professor's favorability towards his student continued to rise. Although the purpose of his teaching was never to seek rewards, Xu Yue's attitude made him very useful. What's more, the plan formulated by the other party was indeed proceeding in an orderly and stable manner, and mutants might really be able to achieve true independence in the near future.

  The hope flashed in his eyes, and the professor turned the wheelchair around, just in time to meet Xu Yue's eyes. The other's pupils were slightly dilated, obviously still immersed in the previous explanation and not completely out of it.

  "I have contacted Emma just now, and I will leave the academy soon to persuade her to join. The amplification room is an absolutely isolated environment, which is just right for you to master the mind space meditation method. You can stay here for a while, but you can't use the amplification equipment rashly, which is a great mental burden."

  Hearing that the professor was about to leave the academy, Xu Yue's dilated pupils instantly solidified, and at the same time, his thoughts broke free from the many meditation knowledge surging in his mind, and his brows unconsciously frowned slightly.

  "Professor, leaving the academy at this time may be a trap. Do you need me to accompany you?"

  "Don't worry, Logan will be with me. Emma resists any stranger's approach, and the mind is often more reliable than the body. Except for Eric's helmet, there will be no traps that can avoid my vigilance."

  After that, the professor smiled at Xu Yue, and then controlled the wheelchair to drive on the metal corridor, approaching the door quickly.

  Behind him, Xu Yue was silent for a moment, but still did not continue to speak to stop him. After all, as long as he was vigilant, there were really few people in this world who could be the professor's opponent. He didn't need to worry about it at all, and the academy also needed someone to guard it, especially the heavy brain wave amplifier.

  Ten seconds later, the professor's leaving figure was isolated by the closed hatch, and the entire spherical space suddenly became silent. Taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling, Xu Yue turned around and sat cross-legged in front of the instrument with his eyes slightly closed. He had a hunch that the professor's mind space meditation method just now would be of great use to him.

  ...…

  Outside the castle, shortly after the professor left the brain wave amplification room, a stretched Lincoln left Xavier School of Geniuses under Logan's driving and drove quickly towards the city.

  Time passed gradually, until an hour passed, Logan, who should have arrived in the city, quietly appeared inside the academy. Looking at the towering classical castle in front of him, a strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then quickly calmed down, and walked out of the castle gate.

  It was morning now. Although there were not many classes, the students wandering around the castle were still a little sparse because Storm had strengthened the management. Logan skillfully greeted the students he met on the road and headed straight to a room on the second floor with a clear purpose.

  Soon, he arrived at his destination smoothly. With a hurried knock on the door, the tightly closed door was pulled open.

  The door was Scott, who looked haggard and had messy hair. Since Jean's cry for help sounded in his mind a few days ago, this sound was like a thorn in his side, ringing every once in a while. If it was just the sound, it would be fine, but the extreme pain contained in it tortured him unbearably. The feeling

  of knowing that the person he loved was suffering, but he could only turn a deaf ear to it, made Scott feel heartbroken. Xu Yue once suggested that he could use the mind chain to help him isolate this sound, but he flatly refused. If he couldn't save Jean, he would be willing to share this torture with her, at least it showed that the other party was still alive.

  However, as time went on, this torture made him increasingly depressed and weak. In the past few days, he slept no more than ten hours.

  Looking at Logan who looked anxious, Scott frowned slightly, and his originally chaotic mind barely shook.

  "Logan, didn't you accompany the professor out? What's going on..."

  Before he finished speaking, Logan's big hand tightly grasped his wrist and dragged him out of the room.

  "It's too late to explain. The professor needs support. Ororo has already rushed over. We have to hurry as well."

  "What?!"

  Scott's pupils shrank slightly. Before he could react to what happened, he was dragged by Logan and ran quickly towards the underground garage.

  A few minutes later, a black car drove out of the castle again. The driver was still Logan, but the passenger changed from the professor to Scott who looked confused.   

  Looking at the scenery outside the car that was rapidly receding, Scott, who finally reacted, stopped breathing and felt something was wrong. He turned his head to look at Logan in the driver's seat. He had a familiar face and temperament, but he felt strange.

  "Stop, tell me what's going on, Logan!"

  The low voice echoed in the car. Logan looked at Scott in the passenger seat. The other's quartz sunglasses had begun to glow red, and a deadly threat enveloped him.

  "Squeak-"

  The harsh brake sound sounded, and the tires of the car locked instantly under emergency braking, leaving several twisted scorch marks on the road.

  At the same time, the sudden change from extremely fast to extremely quiet made the car shake violently. Logan, who was well prepared in the driver's seat, was fine, but Scott, who was caught off guard, suddenly crashed into the passenger seat in front of him.

  "Damn it! '

  The forehead and the table came into close contact, but fortunately the collision was not strong, and the pain brought by it made Scott's chaotic mind completely clear. He

  quickly held the quartz glasses that were about to slip off, and he quickly stood up and looked at the culprit in the main car. After regaining consciousness, Scott had already vaguely guessed who the person next to him was.

  His eyes moved to the left, but the one who appeared in the center of his vision was not Logan, nor the blue figure he imagined, but a figure with red hair and white skin.

  "Jin..."

  The hostility that had just risen was gone in an instant, and the glaring red light under the glasses disappeared. Scott looked at the very familiar figure in the driver's seat in a trance and murmured in a low voice.

  "Bang!"

  The next second, what responded to him was not the soft call of his lover, but a clean and neat knife. The

  dull sound of flesh colliding sounded at the neck, and even mixed with a "click" sound of bone friction, and then Scott, who had not slept for a long time, finally fell into a deep sleep.

  ...

  Alkali Lake

  The wide lake surface swayed in the breeze, and several figures were rushing from a distance on the edge of the lake. The

  forward steps paused, and Magneto, who was at the front of the crowd, looked up and stopped at the broken dam deep in the lake. A trace of obvious regret flashed in his eyes.

  Three years ago, he was only one step away from using Charles' power to kill all the humans on this planet, but unfortunately he failed at the last moment.

  As for whether this behavior is cruel or not, ha! He is just reciprocating, and in the life-and-death struggle of races, where can there be room for weakness?

  A planet cannot peacefully carry two equally unwilling races. Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, and one will eventually replace the other. Charles's proposal is just a wishful compromise.

  The regret in his eyes turned into coldness in his thoughts. Since he failed to achieve his goal through Charles' power three years ago, he would use the power of his students to implement it three years later.

  He was looking forward to the power of the Phoenix, which could destroy everything.

  "Ximing, are you sure Jean is still at the bottom of the lake?"

  "Of course, Lord Magneto."

  Ximing, who was behind him, took a half step forward and stood side by side with Magneto beside him. The pale mask under the wide hood poked out the shadow and looked straight at the vast and peaceful lake in front of him.

  "The lake water can't do anything to the Phoenix. It's just that the specific sleeping location is undetectable. And now the plan to kidnap Cyclops has failed. Without his help, we can only search inch by inch."

  Listening to Ximing's reply beside him, Mystique Raven, who had disappeared without a trace, could not help but appear in Magneto's mind. His face sank slightly, but soon returned to calm. In Charles's academy, Mystique would never be damaged even if the mission failed. As for the fact that Cyclops was not successfully obtained, it was not a big loss.

  "Failure is failure. After all, she is Charles' student. It is not so easy to capture her."

  "Without him, it will only waste more energy. As long as Jean is still at the bottom of the lake, I can force her out."

  After saying this, Magneto raised his arm slightly, and the vast magnetic wave began to spread outward from his body. At the same time, the two large trucks behind the crowd suddenly took off into the air and rushed towards the lakeshore. They stopped moving only when they reached the center of the lake.

  "Sometimes human weapons can also play a good role."

  As his ten fingers waved, the large truck suspended in the air also disintegrated. The wide metal compartment split layer by layer, revealing the densely packed ammunition of various colors inside, including small high-explosive grenades, rockets and grenades of different sizes, and even small missiles and broadsword mines.

  Thousands of shells were evenly scattered under Magneto's control, covering almost half of the lake. Since there was no Cyclops for precise positioning, he simply blew up the entire lake, and the turbulent vibrations were enough to awaken any sleeping existence at the bottom of the lake.

  These high-explosive weapons were the result of the Brotherhood sweeping through almost all the underground gangs in the city in two days. It must be said that this number is worthy of the Federation, which is known for its freedom. The Brotherhood originally planned to use them to deal with the human army, but now in order to forcibly awaken Jean, they can only use them in advance.

  Glancing at Xi Ming, whose expression could not be seen clearly due to the mask, Magneto's eyes were cold. He could not investigate where the information in the hands of this subordinate came from, but he would never allow deception. If he still could not find Jean after detonating the entire Alkali Lake, then the other party could be buried at the bottom of the lake forever.

  "You'd better make sure that Jean is really just sleeping at the bottom of the lake, otherwise you will take her fate."

  "Of course, Lord Magneto, I can guarantee it with my life."

  "Yes."

  He nodded slightly without commenting, and as he pressed his palm lightly, the dense shells covering the air immediately fell synchronously, smashing large pieces of splashing water on the lake surface, and the boiling waves rolled, breaking the silence of the entire Alkali Lake.

  The next second, countless golden and red fireballs suddenly exploded under the blue lake surface, followed by countless giant water columns rising into the sky.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
