“Sir, according to the latest feedback, Brian Carter has been continuously studying various martial arts recently, and his progress is astonishing. His level of danger has rapidly increased—he is no longer an ordinary human being!”

JARVIS replied.

Yes, that's right. Right now, Brian Carter is under comprehensive surveillance. Although Tony Stark can't directly approach Brian Carter to ask about the multiverse and the diary, that doesn't mean he has no way.

His method is simple and direct: he spent three billion to launch several satellites into space, monitoring the entire globe, with 24-hour surveillance to ensure that no matter where Brian Carter goes, he can be detected immediately.

Of course, in addition to this, there's also JARVIS's ability to hack into various networks. Combined, they can basically keep track of all of Brian Carter's movements.

For example, in the training areas of the gyms Brian Carter visits, there are surveillance cameras. JARVIS usually investigates Brian Carter's information through these cameras without drawing attention.

“Not an ordinary human? What do you mean by that?” Tony Stark asked.

“According to current data, every day at his home, sandbags or wooden stakes that have been smashed are taken out. His strength, combined with the power techniques of Chinese martial arts, has reached the level where he can kill a strong adult man with a single punch!” JARVIS said. “Do you need me to project the video?”

“Project it!” Tony Stark nodded.

Immediately, a clipped video appeared in front of Tony Stark. At first, it was inside a martial arts school, where Brian Carter was practicing various Chinese martial arts techniques. Every punch and kick was extremely powerful; even watching from a distance, you could feel his strength.

Then, with the use of props, seeing Brian Carter smash a wooden stake with a single elbow, displaying such brutal combat power, even Tony Stark's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

It's only been a few days—how did this Brian Carter go from an ordinary person to such a ruthless killing machine?

Next, the video switched to a small alley. Judging from the angle, it was clearly from a roadside surveillance camera. In the alley at dusk, Brian Carter was cornered by several gang members trying to rob him.

But Brian Carter, with lightning speed, killed these gang members on the spot. What shocked Tony Stark the most was that one of the gang members pulled a gun, but at the critical moment, Brian Carter seemed to have a sixth sense, dodged in advance, and then used a knife-hand strike to break the gang member's throat, killing him instantly.

The whole process lasted less than a minute!

During this time, the combat power displayed by Brian Carter was jaw-dropping.

“This... how did he dodge that? That's not scientific!” Tony Stark said, a bit stunned.

Theoretically, if you can anticipate when your opponent will shoot, you can dodge bullets in advance. But the problem is, how could a normal person possibly predict that?

Anyone who can dodge like that—can they still be considered a normal human?

“Theoretically, it's possible. In the system of Chinese martial arts, there is an ability called a martial artist's intuition, which allows one to sense danger. However, it's said that you need to reach a very advanced level to trigger it!” JARVIS said. “Currently, Brian Carter has reached the level of 'An Jin' (Hidden Power)!”

Then, JARVIS listed out the system of Chinese martial arts, giving Tony Stark a clear understanding.

Chapter 10 Tony: How could it possibly be Uncle Obadiah!

Simply put, reaching the level of 'Ming Jin' (Obvious Power) is roughly equivalent to the top soldiers in various national armies, while reaching 'An Jin' (Hidden Power) means surpassing them and becoming a killing machine.

Tony Stark pondered for a moment, then said, “With his current strength, how does he compare to Wonder Woman?”

“No comparison!” JARVIS replied. “In the system of Chinese martial arts, even if you reach 'Hua Jin' (Transforming Power), or the legendary 'Dan Jin' (Cinnabar Power), it's still impossible for the human body to withstand bullets. A master of 'Hua Jin' cornered in an alley would still be gunned down, let alone by modern firearms. But Wonder Woman's physical strength allows her to ignore ordinary bullets, and according to calculations, even large-caliber sniper rifles probably can't harm her!”

“From the data, Wonder Woman is clearly stronger and more dangerous. Her super speed, super strength, and super stamina all far exceed normal humans, while Brian Carter has only reached the theoretical peak of human capability!” JARVIS continued.

“But if I remember correctly, just over a month ago, he was still an ordinary person, not even particularly strong physically?” Tony Stark asked. “What exactly happened to him in this past month?”

“At present, it's still unclear. It seems to be the result of some kind of stimulus-induced second development!” JARVIS replied. “From a scientific perspective, it could be the result of some kind of genetic mutation!”
