Druid in the Marvel Universe Chapter 88: The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth
Alvin looked helplessly at the elegant old lady in front of him, who was using a set of beautiful and fierce palm techniques on him!
Alvin thought to himself, it's really a disadvantage to be out here without knowing some martial arts! Just taking hits without being able to fight back is indeed very embarrassing!
If the old lady were a few decades younger and willing to wear the luxurious outfit of Kagura Chizuru, Alvin might have pulled her in for a photo because her moves were indeed beautiful. The flurry of palm shadows, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, landed heavily on Alvin, showing her impressive skills.
In his two lifetimes, Alvin had never seen such beautiful martial arts without special effects, and it felt particularly powerful! The other day, he encountered Danny Rand, whose glowing fists looked high-class, but compared to the old lady's skills, he seemed several levels inferior!
Alvin estimated that if Steve took a few hits, he would also be on his knees!
People around the street were shocked to see a beautiful old lady using a majestic and elegant combination of palm techniques to hit Alvin hundreds of times, then retreating with a graceful move!
Just as everyone was worried about Alvin, the old lady, who was in a finishing pose, suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief at Alvin. Before she could speak, she spat out dozens of mouthfuls of blood!
Jarvan, who was helping sell breakfast, was dumbfounded and enviously said in broken Chinese, "So powerful, Dragon Subduing Palms!"
The breakfast seller, Lao Cheng, slapped the back of Jarvan's head and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know. That's the Six Yang Palms of Tianshan, the ultimate skill of Tianshan Tonglao from Lingjiu Palace!"
Although Jarvan didn't understand, he felt his father knew a lot and asked in confusion, "Then why did she spit so much blood?"
Lao Cheng, holding a rolling pin and a bun skin, said profoundly, "It seems Alvin's Great Shift of the Universe has reached perfection!"
Alvin, hearing the father and son's conversation, couldn't help but want to laugh. But having just taken hundreds of hits without fighting back, he couldn't break his composure now, or he would lose his masterly demeanor!
The driver of the Bentley rushed out of the car, supported the old lady, and helped her into the car, speeding away!
As the Bentley turned, it collided with a golden Cadillac Rocket. The Bentley didn't stop and sped away from the scene.
Alvin recognized the Cadillac Rocket as the beloved car of the Jamaican drug dealer, Pluto. Seeing him angrily calling for backup with his mouth full of gold teeth, Alvin guessed the Bentley was in for some trouble!
Alvin didn't chase after them because seeing the old lady bleeding from all seven orifices and continuously spitting blood, it seemed she was at least crippled and wouldn't live long!
Moreover, dragging her down and chopping her up in public didn't suit his identity as a school principal!
If they could really come back to life, next time he encountered them, he would make sure to kill them and chop them into pieces!
In the restaurant, Ginny screamed in admiration and ran out, leaping towards Alvin from a distance!
At this moment, Alvin couldn't care about maintaining his masterly demeanor and quickly stepped forward to catch the excited little girl!
Holding Ginny, Alvin, a bit troubled, touched noses with her. This girl was always so tomboyish, jumping around. What would he do in the future!
Nick, enviously staring at the departing Bentley, seriously said in a line he learned from some Hong Kong movie, "Zai jian, huo ni ha!"
Steve, holding a coffee, stood at the door. He hadn't heard Alvin's conversation with Mrs. Gao earlier. Now, he looked at Alvin in shock and said, "When did the world become so dangerous? Or do you have a lot of enemies? How have you survived until now?"
Holding Ginny, Alvin awkwardly smiled at Steve and jokingly said, "We're all martial artists. It's normal to spar occasionally!"
Steve shook his head with a smile and said, "That wasn't sparring just now. She was out to kill you! But why did she end up spitting blood and getting injured herself?"
Alvin playfully struck a masterly pose towards the worried Jessica and said, "Shaolin's ultimate skills, Golden Bell Shield, Iron Cloth!"
Jessica rolled her eyes, said "Whatever," and turned back to the restaurant to clean up!
Alvin touched his nose, made a funny face at Ginny in his arms, making her giggle, kissed her, and put her down to play with Nick!
Steve, smiling, looked at Alvin and said, "Being a principal is so dangerous! It seems being a football coach at the community school isn't an easy job. I'm a bit nervous now, what should I do?"
Alvin laughed heartily and said, "Don't be nervous, buddy. You haven't seen the hardest part yet. It's not too late to be nervous after you see it!"
Steve laughed, bumped fists with Alvin, and said, "I like this challenge! It makes me feel useful!"
Alvin smiled, looked at little Ginny playing, and said, "The difficult part I'm talking about might be different from what you're thinking, but I believe you can overcome it!"
Then Alvin waved to Steve and said, "Buddy, come with me to the school. The football team hasn't taken a break. You can go say hi to the kids. I heard it's quite lively there recently!"
...
Borrowing Old Kent's car, Alvin took Steve, Ginny, and Nick to the school!
At the school, Alvin called Nelson to handle Steve's onboarding procedures. Procedures had to be followed, or it would be hard to issue his salary!
Seeing Steve signing the contract without even looking at it, Alvin sincerely hoped all the other teachers at the school were like this, not asking for raises or dental insurance. This way, the school's expenses could be significantly reduced.
...
By the school football field, Steve, shocked, pointed at a group of kids in prison uniforms warming up under the lead of a tall, strong guy and said, "Is this the school team? A prison team!"
Alvin awkwardly smiled, pointed at a group of kids in school uniforms running in formation in the distance, and said, "That's our team!"
Steve frowned, looking at both teams. The group in prison uniforms had much more disciplined warm-up routines.
The school's team, led by a bald, chubby guy, only had running laps as their warm-up exercise.
Now Steve understood why Nick didn't think much of the school team's coach. Even he, an old-timer, could probably do better.
Alvin patted Steve's shoulder, smiled, and said, "Looks like there's a scrimmage today. Let's be spectators first and let you get to know our team!"
Steve nodded and said, "Let's watch. It's been a long time since I watched a game live."
Alvin smiled, picked up Ginny, and walked towards the stands.
He noticed something strange today. Nearly half of the bosses from Hell's Kitchen were here, all sitting in the stands. Who knew what they were up to!
