Chapter 56: Brother, Come Again!
"What is it?" Lin Yuan asked cooperatively.
"It's invisibility!" Shuri jumped up and shouted excitedly. "When the cheetah form enters the invisible state, it's even more powerful than Wakanda's stealth technology! Even our most advanced detection equipment can't detect it. It's truly amazing. If I can understand the principle behind this, then Wakanda's stealth technology will be upgraded to a higher level!"
Haha! Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh inwardly, thinking, I'm sorry, little sister Shuri, this is the power of magic, which is a completely different system from technology. You're going to be disappointed! Besides, what use is such an awesome invisibility effect for a great and upright person like me?
Shuri, still excited, continued, "As for the flying form and the aquatic form, they are even more exaggerated. The maximum speed of the flying form exceeds Mach 20. The speed of the aquatic form in the water hasn't been tested due to venue limitations, but the fact that it can survive in any water is incredible. Brother Lin Yuan, you are so abnormal!"
"What are you talking about? What do you mean I'm abnormal?" Lin Yuan's face darkened, and he quickly corrected her, "It's the speed that's abnormal, not me as a person!"
Shuri stuck out her tongue playfully, then said, "Brother Lin Yuan, you're actually wrong about one thing. You always say your attack power is low, which isn't quite right. You should say that only your attack power is normal, while your defense and speed are abnormal."
Lin Yuan thought about it and realized it seemed true. He didn't have specific attacking skills, but he could still use his fists. But I was supposed to master both magic and martial arts! What a misleading system!
Shuri continued, "Brother Lin Yuan, according to physics, the kinetic energy generated by your flight form exceeding Mach 20 should be terrifying. But strangely, the kinetic energy generated is very small, which is highly unreasonable."
Lin Yuan could only mutter to himself, "Because the flying state is also a non-attack skill. Besides, isn't it reasonable for the system to be unreasonable?"
"Don't worry about these details," Lin Yuan said aloud. "Just think of them as characteristics of my abilities!"
Shuri nodded and then asked, "What are your requirements for equipment, Brother Lin Yuan?"
"As long as it's stronger than my natural claws, it'll be fine. I hit some kind of iron block before, and it didn't even scratch it! Additionally, I need this equipment to change with my form, and most importantly, it must be easy to carry."
"Ah? You mean you can't just put claws on your paws?"
Shuri was a little dumbfounded hearing Lin Yuan's simple request. After thinking for a moment, she continued, "It's just that the shape-changing aspect is a little troublesome. But don't worry, I happen to have a nano-combat suit project that suits your requirements perfectly! I originally planned to start it in two years, but it's fine to start it earlier now! However, in that case, you'll have to wait a while, brother."
"No hurry, no hurry, Sister Shuri, take your time designing it! I can wait! Thank you in advance!"
Lin Yuan knew the nano battle suit Shuri mentioned was the future Black Panther suit.
"You're welcome. I'll contact you when I'm done," Shuri said, then looked at Lin Yuan expectantly, "Brother Lin Yuan~~ Now that the work discussion is done..."
Lin Yuan sighed. A promise is a promise. Since he agreed, he had to follow through.
"Hop on!"
Lin Yuan transformed into a panda and beckoned to Shuri.
Shuri climbed onto the panda's back, and Lin Yuan carried her for a run around the laboratory. Shuri giggled happily; she loved this game.
After the panda ride, Lin Yuan turned into a giant roc and took the princess flying high in the sky for a few circles. However, when they landed, Shuri's braids were almost standing on end. She pouted unhappily, "That's not fun at all. The wind is too strong! When I design the battle suit, Brother Lin Yuan, take me flying again. Then you can wrap me in the suit to block the wind."
"Okay, no problem!" Lin Yuan readily agreed, already looking forward to it himself. Once I have the battle suit, I can find a girlfriend and fly out to play with her. Otherwise, flying like this, I'd probably blow her away.
After finishing his business, Lin Yuan initially planned to leave, but due to King T'Chaka's enthusiastic invitation and Shuri's persistent persuasion, he stayed in Wakanda for another three days.
During these three days, Shuri accompanied Lin Yuan, showing him various places in Wakanda.
T'Challa was very busy, already learning to take over many of his father's duties, so Lin Yuan rarely saw him.
One day, T'Challa suddenly approached Lin Yuan, wanting to spar. Lin Yuan was also eager to test his skills, so they quickly agreed.
T'Challa, wearing the older Black Panther suit, faced Lin Yuan from a distance, while Shuri cheered from the sidelines.
"Brother Leopard! I'm making my move!"
Yes, Lin Yuan now called T'Challa "Brother Leopard." Although T'Challa insisted he wasn't the Black Panther yet, Lin Yuan didn't care and called him that anyway. T'Challa couldn't do anything about it!
The moment Lin Yuan shouted, T'Challa rushed towards him. Lin Yuan smiled, not transforming into a panda. He raised his hand and summoned entangling roots.
T'Challa's feet were caught, and inertia sent him tumbling face-first onto the ground.
Shuri, standing by, burst out laughing at her brother's embarrassing fall, bending over with mirth.
T'Challa lay on the ground, looking up at Lin Yuan resentfully, but Lin Yuan pretended not to notice.
After the vines disappeared, T'Challa became more cautious, circling Lin Yuan and approaching gradually, looking for an opening.
Lin Yuan gave T'Challa a mysterious smile, making T'Challa instinctively tense up.
Sure enough, the next moment, Lin Yuan raised his hand, and T'Challa was swept into the air by a sudden tornado, spinning helplessly.
"I'm dizzy, so dizzy! Brother, put me down quickly!" T'Challa yelled from the sky.
"Brother Leopard, just hold on for 30 seconds! Hahaha!"
This wasn't the first time Lin Yuan had used the tornado. Previously, it hadn't been nearly this powerful, more like a small whirlwind on a playground, impossible to control. He hadn't expected its effectiveness to increase so much with his level. That darn system was right; if the level isn't high enough, the effect is terrible!
Thirty seconds later, T'Challa fell down and clung to a nearby tree, vomiting.
Lin Yuan realized the tornado summoned by his Whirlwind skill must rotate incredibly fast, likely having additional effects like inducing dizziness! Otherwise, T'Challa's enhanced physique from the Heart-Shaped Herb shouldn't have resulted in him vomiting like this.
Shuri held back her laughter and patted her brother on the back, while Lin Yuan felt slightly embarrassed.
"Brother, are you okay? I haven't used this ability in a while. I didn't expect it to be so effective now!"
T'Challa, still bent over, waved his hand, indicating he was fine.
After T'Challa recovered, Lin Yuan asked tentatively, "Brother, are we still fighting?"
"Fight? Why not?" T'Challa gritted his teeth. He was determined to land a hit on his younger brother today. But then his tone softened, "Let's be clear first, you can't use those last two skills anymore!"
"No problem!" Lin Yuan readily agreed, muttering inwardly, Heh, little guy, if I can't use those two, I have others!
T'Challa crossed his arms in a defensive stance and rushed forward again!
"Hurricane!"
Lin Yuan shouted softly. A wall of wind, so strong it was almost visible, appeared before him and blasted towards T'Challa.
T'Challa was blown away again, barely managing a curse.
"Wow, Brother, you flew so far!" Shuri exclaimed, then turned to Lin Yuan and cheered, "Brother Lin Yuan, do it again! Do it again!"
T'Challa, somewhere in the distance: "...Are you even my real sister?"
