If it were the real and fully developed version of the High-speed movement ability, one could probably even reach the speed of light relying on it.

At that speed, no matter how weak a person’s strength was, they would be able to strike out with shocking strength, instantly annihilating almost anything that didn’t have enough defensive properties to handle it.

Of course as with all abilities at this level, things weren’t so simple. The condition that had to be fulfilled to travel at such a speed was that one needed a suitably strong physical body. Otherwise using that ability would be akin to suicide.

Quicksilver was the perfect example of this, as while he could move at an even faster speed at the moment, he didn’t dare do so as his body may just crumble on the spot.

Bruce on the other hand, was very different in that regard. His body could be compared to that of a real god’s body, and the maximum speed he could move at was probably three to four times faster than Quicksilver. 

With that said, that didn’t mean that his body was merely three to four times stronger than that of Quicksilver’s. On the contrary, his body couldn’t even be compared to that of Quicksilver’s.

The reason he could only move so fast, was because the higher the speed, the greater the pressure needed to be sustained, and it escalated the faster one got.

While thinking of this, Bruce decided to download Quicksilver’s ability. Although it was defective in its current state, he didn’t mind.

Even with the defective version of this ability, the speed it provided him would make his combat power improve by a lot. Without any further hesitation, Bruce started the download.

“Beep, connection successful.”

“Beep, the energy value required to download the High-speed movement ability is 3,000 points. Do you wish to proceed?”

“Yes!”

“Beep, download complete.”

“Beep, congratulations on obtaining the High-speed movement ability!” 

The moment Bruce obtained the ability, there was an inexplicable change to his body.

This change was not on a cellular level, but instead it was his telepathy and sensitivity that had undergone a change. He felt as if everything around him had slowed down, to the point where Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were basically motionless.

It was only after a long time had passed did he see the two of them slowly blink their eyes once.

During this period of time, Bruce had been able to run a few kilometers and return to the same spot without them noticing anything. This ability of Quicksilver’s was absolutely terrifying.

After Bruce took a deep breath, everything around him returned back to normal speed.

“Very good. From today onwards, you two will begin your training,” after which, Bruce saw down at a corner and began to familiarize himself with his new ability.

All of his training plans had been written in the document he had previously given them. As for their training, they would supervise themselves, as it was all reliant on their self-restraint.

“Mr. Bruce, you should know that the faster I am the more strength I’ll be able to exert. Why are you still making me train my body strength?”

The moment Quicksilver browsed through Bruce’s plans, he instantly spotted that and was a little dissatisfied. 

He was remarkably fast, and such speed meant that he didn’t need to be strong at all. In his opinion, this was completely unnecessary and was a waste of time and effort.

When the Scarlet Witch heard her brother’s dissatisfied words, she immediately grabbed his arm and said, “Pietro, stop it!”

Truthfully, she was very afraid of Bruce now, but was also a little curious about him at the same time. However after their brief contact, she knew that Bruce was far from kind, unlike how he looked on the surface.

But Quicksilver didn’t listen to Wanda this time, instead he kept staring at Bruce for an answer.

“Even if an egg-sized meteorite falls onto the earth, it would also cause unimaginable destructive power. So you are right, the faster one is the more powerful one would be. However, what would happen to the egg-sized meteorite after it falls?” 

After hearing Bruce’s words, Quicksilver’s face quickly turned pale. Even if one was a child, they would still understand the concept Bruce was referring to. 

Although the fast speed of the meteorite would result in equally powerful destructive power, the meteorite was not strong enough and hence would get smashed into pieces upon contact.

As the matter of fact, this was also the biggest shortcoming of Quicksilver.

If one let him go blow for blow against the Hulk, he would even have the advantage. However Hulk would survive the blow, while he wouldn’t.

For a moment, Quicksilver had no words to say, as he understood how foolish he had been. Regardless however, he was ultimately still a boy.

“I don’t care about this. What I want to say is that we should fight once more with you only using your strength. If I lose, I will follow your training plan. But if you lose, how I train will be up to myself.”

When facing someone stronger than him, there was a type of stubbornness that would come out, especially prevalent in this age.

Quicksilver’s confidence in his speed was also a big factor that weighed in on this, as he believed that if Bruce didn’t use any special means, he wouldn’t be defeated.

Even though he understood that what Bruce said was correct, he was still unwilling to admit it. Even at this point he didn’t believe himself to be weaker than Bruce.

“Are you sure?” 

Just now, he had been thinking on how to test his new ability, but now someone had come over voluntarily. Moreover… that person was Quicksilver, who was the perfect candidate.

“Mr. Bruce, Pietro is just a little uncomfortable in his heart. Don’t argue with him. We will follow your training plan.” Looking at Bruce’s cold eyes, Wanda was very worried that Bruce would kill Quicksilver.

“Wang Da, stop. Bruce doesn’t dare.” In front of Wanda, Pietro walked up and half crouched down slowly.

Even if Bruce did not agree, he would still have to force his way out. But at this moment, Bruce moved.

Everything slowed down, and Bruce disappeared completely. Wanda couldn’t stop him at all, she just stood there in a daze. In fact, it was mostly because her reaction speed was too slow. In Bruce’s eyes, she was still motionless.

At this moment, Quicksilver also realized that. He was shocked to see that Bruce had disappeared in front of him and then turned into a shadow.

It was also upon seeing this that he also used his ability. Facing Bruce, Quicksilver moved at his fastest speed to not be defeated once again.

But his speed was still too slow in comparison to Bruce. Every movement of his was clearly seen by Bruce. 

“Bang!”

Bruce appeared right in front of Quicksilver, and lightly jabbed Quicksilver’s body with his finger.

“Boom~!”

Quicksilver was hit flying backwards. He hit a wall dozens of meters away, and his bones almost broke. After a second, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He completely forgot about the pain his body was in right now, and was instead shocked at Bruce’s speed. What had just happened took less than a second.

“You, how, how could you have such speed?” Quicksilver was shocked, he couldn’t believe it at all.

Even the Scarlet Witch looked at Bruce in shock. She was very terrified upon thinking of their previous confrontation. Had Bruce not revealed his real strength previously? How was Bruce so fast?

“Do you two think you are the most special people in the world?” At this moment, Bruce stood in his original position and stared at Quicksilver who had fallen to the ground.

His position had not changed a bit, but he had defeated Quicksilver in what he was best at!
