Chapter 1126 - To Be Convincing, and Do a Split First

Gliding along, the Batman suit 2.0 was very stealthy, and Luke reached Stark Tower without drawing attention.

Looking at Stark Tower, which was mostly dark except for the top, Luke chuckled and descended.

When he slowly touched down on the landing pad, a gentle male voice rang out. “Mr. Batman?”

Luke nodded. “Jarvis, long time no see. Can you stop with the probe? Tony hasn’t given you any orders.”

Jarvis wasn’t human, so had no face to feel thick-skinned.

Hearing Luke’s words, it simply said calmly, “Sir instructed that it’s not possible to cancel the security check on your armor, in case someone impersonates you.”

Luke chuckled inwardly. The master is shameless, and you’re even worse.

He didn’t waste any time. “Is Tony here?”

Jarvis said, “Yes, I’ve informed sir that you’re visiting.”

“Tell him to put on his newest suit before he comes out.” After saying that, Luke fell silent.

Jarvis was really useful. He was much smarter than Little Snail.

But Luke didn’t mind that his smart program was a little stupid.

The most unforgivable crime would be if he created an uncontrollable program like “Skynet.”

If the system judged that he should be held responsible for some of the bad things done by Skynet, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to be punished with the classic “obliteration.”

As he thought that, a gold and red figure flew out of the passage on the top floor and stopped five meters in front of Luke.

A certain flashy fellow didn’t land, but hovered high above Luke. “What? You want me to go and save the world again?”

Luke was amused.

In recent months, the number one hero who was most enthusiastic about maintaining world peace was in fact Iron Man, and part of it had to do with wanting to steal Batman’s thunder.

So, the guy was clearly just asking the question to show off.

Luke used his vision to operate the virtual screen on the mask. The cape on his back quickly disappeared to reveal the Batman suit 2.0 in its entirety.

Tony, who hadn’t stopped scanning the suit, frowned. He felt that the Batman suit looked familiar in many respects, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you… imitating me?”

Luke nodded. “Yes.”

Tony hadn’t expected Luke to be so blunt. He was stunned. “Are you serious?”

Luke said, “Yes.”

Tony asked, “Why?”

Luke decided the tycoon should be mentally prepared a little first. “I saw your performance at the hearing this morning. I think I should give you a warning.”

Tony was suspicious. “Don’t tell me; you’re in love with that senator?”

Luke remained unmoved. “No, I just want to tell you something.”

Tony: “What?”

Luke said, “You’re not the only superhero in this world.”

Tony had a strange expression on his face. He felt that these words were even more familiar than the Batman suit across from him. Hm, it seemed that a black baldie had said something similar a few months ago.

Luke didn’t give him time to dwell on it. He simply raised his hand and snapped his fingers, before pointing south. “Let’s go. You need to clear your head. Only then will you be convinced by our conversation after that.”

With that, flames burst out under Luke’s feet as he shot into the sky and headed south.

Tony didn’t hesitate either as his Iron Man suit followed closely behind in a long streak of flames.

…

Several minutes later, two streaks of light landed on Staten Island.

Tony looked around. This was a wasteland by the sea.

There wasn’t even a road here, let alone a person.

“What are we doing here?” he asked in confusion.

Luke crooked a finger and said, “Come, let’s have a head-on battle. Let me see if your armor has improved.”

Tony was tempted.

When he had been rescuing people from the L.A. earthquake last time, his Mark 2’s control had fallen far short, and he couldn’t even enter a building to save people.

After sensing this flaw, he made targeted improvements.

Now that he had a sparring partner like Batman to test this suit on, it couldn’t be any better.

“Then, here I come.” With that, Tony… adopted Bruce Lee’s classic pose and bounced on his feet with his fists raised.

Luke’s eyes lit up. “Huh? Not bad.”

That was pretty good.

Metal armor wasn’t soft clothes. These movements weren’t hard to do; the difficult part was that they had to be gentle and natural.

Tony’s Mark 4 suit was basically able to do it, which proved that his control had improved significantly.

Secondly, Tony’s movements really were a little like Bruce Lee’s; he had definitely gotten more combat training.

Luke was secretly amused. While this tycoon hadn’t said anything, his actions were very honest! It seemed that he hadn’t been idle in the last few months.

With a loud bang, a jet of flames shot out of Tony’s left foot as his right foot kicked out in front of Luke.

Luke wasn’t surprised at this sort of shameless behavior, which relied on the power of the jet propulsion system. He simply leaned back and grabbed Tony’s right foot with both hands, before kicking the tycoon’s left foot.

Duang!

A second later, Tony’s lips twitched. He turned his head and looked at Luke, who had jumped to the side. He wanted to curse. “What the hell kind of fighting technique is that?”

Luke chuckled. “I’m just playing around. Why would I need some fighting technique?”

Tony strongly resisted the urge to cover his groin with both hands. He activated the propulsion system and forced his legs to fold back together.

At that moment, he was extremely glad that he had done a lot of combat training in the past few months. He could just barely do a split; otherwise, with that last maneuver, he would have been rolling over the ground with his hands over his groin.

Given how strong the suit was, he would have sunk right into the ground.

While maintaining world peace recently, this wasn’t an issue he had needed to consider.

But Luke had grabbed his right leg earlier with both hands and then kicked his left leg, and Tony had smashed onto the ground with his legs spread.

It was a good thing that the Iron Man suit protected his vitals between his legs; otherwise, it would have been a tragic story for the young master.

After this “split,” Tony finally wasn’t so cocky.

Doing a flying kick at a combat master like Batman was a joke.

From the attack just now, Tony confirmed that Batman’s new suit was very strong, and not much weaker than Mark 4. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be strong enough to hold the legs of the Iron Man suit in place and force Tony to do a split on the ground.

When the pulling sensation in his groin eased a little, Tony attacked again.

This time, he didn’t do anything fancy with the jets anymore, and aimed a punch at Luke’s head.

Luke nodded approvingly at this approach.
