"Jean, please take our new member to rest. I need to have a chat with Dr. Ye," the professor said.
"Okay."
Jean extended her right hand forward, and the Electro-Man lying on the ground lifted off the ground as if by magic.
Telekinesis!
What a marvelous ability. Ye Hai looked at Jean's back with envy; he wished he could have such a power. However, obtaining her blood required Professor X's permission, and stealing it would surely turn him against the mutant academy.
Ye Hai didn't dare to steal it; no one could hide from Professor X's telepathy. Although he had a system that could shield him from the professor's abilities, he knew his friends couldn't do the same.
This feeling of helplessness frustrated him greatly. Yet, he couldn't act rashly. He considered himself not a good person, but he also didn't want to turn into a completely malevolent one.
Ye Hai directed his gaze toward the professor's legs and joked, "Professor, I could inject my regenerative genes into your body, which would allow for a perfect integration. Not only could it restore your legs so you could move freely, but you'd also regain a youthful appearance. How about that?"
Ye Hai anxiously watched the professor, testing the waters. If the professor was willing to accept the treatment, he could obtain Professor X's abilities because the procedure would require taking some of his blood.
The professor's gentle gaze flickered slightly. After a long silence, he replied, "I'm sorry, Dr. Ye. Do you understand my abilities? I can control all of humanity on Earth. My powers are too great and too dangerous for me to entrust to anyone yet."
Clearly, the professor did not yet fully trust Ye Hai, and this disappointment left him with no choice but to back down.
Professor X's abilities were immense; he could radiate his influence across the entire population of Earth using a brainwave amplifier, giving him the potential to eliminate humanity entirely if he wished. Just like in "X-Men: Apocalypse," under Apocalypse's control, he could launch all of the world's nuclear weapons. If he did not destroy the brainwave amplifier in time, the world would face annihilation from nuclear warheads.
With such terrifying power, how could the professor easily give it away?
Thus, his decision was completely understandable. After all, they had not known each other for long, and the professor didn't yet know Ye Hai well. He was willing to offer some powers that were less lethal, but the more dangerous abilities would remain under his control for the time being.
"Alright, let's not discuss this issue for now," Ye Hai said. "Besides bringing the Electro-Man here today, I have another matter I need to ask of you, Professor."
"Is it about those vampires?" the professor inquired.
"Yes," Ye Hai smiled. "It seems you've been keeping an eye on me, Professor."
The professor regarded Ye Hai seriously and said, "Yes, Dr. Ye. I'm currently assessing your character. If your future actions earn my approval, I will transfer my powers, along with Jean's, to you."
Ye Hai's heart sank slightly; this was a declaration of stance. If he satisfied the professor, he would gain both Professor X's and Jean's abilities; if not, he might find himself in serious trouble.
"I understand your meaning, Professor," Ye Hai replied, appearing relaxed. He felt confident that he didn't need to commit any heinous acts to meet the professor's criteria, so he felt no psychological pressure.
"Professor, I want to find the vampire leader, Deacon Frost. This shouldn't be a problem for you, right?" Ye Hai began to return to the main topic.
The professor's psychic abilities could cover the entire city of New York, making it simple for him to locate an unsuspecting vampire leader.
"I can find him," the professor replied with a smile. "Though you are powerful, you can't completely eliminate them on your own; you'll need specific weapons against vampires. I can introduce you to someone."
"Are you talking about Blade?" Ye Hai asked confidently.
"Do you know him?"
"I don't know him personally, but I've heard of him—a half-vampire trained from a young age to be a vampire hunter, hunting down vampires everywhere. He's quite the warrior," Ye Hai chuckled, then scoffed, "I could take down those vampires without Blade. Their weaknesses are obvious; they fear sunlight, so I only need to expose them to the sun, and they'll be reduced to ashes."
"I think having a professional would make it easier to deal with them."
The professor strongly recommended Blade, and Ye Hai couldn't refuse, so he said, "Alright, I guess I'll have to make a new vampire friend."
