He nodded in satisfaction, completely unconcerned about Bruce's tone.

"By the way, I have a good suggestion. You could also send him some medicine. I believe he would be happy to help you with something so small."

Pointing at Clark, the Sun Body is a trait extracted from Kryptonians. As a Kryptonian, Clark's strength is enhanced when exposed to yellow sunlight, so the sun's blessings are naturally useful to him as well.

Perhaps Clark wasn't very interested in improving his own strength before, because his power was so great that he had almost never encountered an opponent. Even Zod, to be honest, was no match for him. It was only because he lacked the will to fight that he fought with Zod for so long.

Clark has no great ambitions and his strength is more than enough. In fact, he usually tries to suppress his power. Naturally, he doesn't think about improving his strength quickly. Most importantly, even if he can't cultivate, his strength is still constantly improving by basking in the sun every day. This speed is unimaginable to others.

Having experienced the Doomsday battle, Clark will definitely be changed, so he will certainly accept the Sun's blessing. This will put him in a debt to Bruce and Yi Shuihan. As for Yi Shuihan, he already owes enough favors in the past, so this is nothing. Moreover, Yi Shuihan is stronger than him, so he can't help Yi Shuihan much. At most, he can offer some blood.

Bruce, on the other hand, is in a different situation. He's been in danger for a long time, so having this favor is like having an extra layer of insurance.

If they encounter the Joker or something, they can just call Superman, and he'll wipe them out in no time. Hostage threats that are useful to Bruce are no problem for Superman, because if he wants, he can subdue the Joker instantly, and he can also withstand bombs.

Let alone bombs, even if you bring out missiles, Superman can remain unfazed. Only Kryptonite can make him wary.

"That thing is useful to him too?"

Yi Shuihan had told Bruce about the effects of the potion when he asked for it, which is why Bruce asked that question.

"If it's useless, why would I ask you to give it to him? To take it back and use it as a light bulb?"

"What exactly are you talking about?"

Superman, who was listening from the side, was completely confused and couldn't help but ask.

"That's a good thing for us. It's a kind of potion that, when mixed with water, can create an object that can radiate sunlight, several times more powerful than the yellow sunlight we see on Earth."

"Such things exist on Earth?"

Superman asked, looking rather silly.

"There was no market for it before, but now that there is demand, it has naturally emerged."

Superman didn't notice the word "we" that Yi Shuihan had said earlier, and thought it was specially made for him, which moved him deeply.

To curry favor with Superman, Bruce simply promised to deliver the medicine to his door and even bought a dedicated storage warehouse for Superman's medicine.

Superman doesn't have a space ring or a personal space, so he can't collect as many people as he comes like Yi Shuihan.

“I said, shouldn’t we move to another place? This place will be completely surrounded soon.”

Diana, who had been listening quietly to the conversation, spoke up when she realized that the matter had been discussed enough.

Although she wasn't wearing a mask and wasn't worried about her identity being exposed, she didn't want to be watched by onlookers.

Everyone agreed with Diana's suggestion. After discussing it, they decided on Bruce's estate, since it was the closest and the most luxurious. Others didn't have such a large estate.

In terms of wealth, Yi Shuihan is much richer than Bruce, but he keeps a low profile and doesn't talk about it. There's no way to flaunt such wealth; the most appropriate way is for someone to discover it unintentionally.

“Bruce, your car is too narrow. You should drive ahead and lead the way by yourself. I have a better vehicle here. Diana, Clark, let's go together.”

The magical carriage that had appeared in the central city reappeared in this world. Even with Bruce's keen eye, he could tell that the carriage was valuable. The other two, who possessed extraordinary power, could feel the waves of power emanating from the magical carriage. When they saw Yi Shuihan, who looked calm and collected, as if he had just taken out an ordinary item, they immediately felt that Yi Shuihan was too high-class and was radiating a dazzling light.

Yi Shuihan subtly observed the expressions on the faces of the others, feeling quite satisfied. "Showing off is a sin, but I can't give it up. Sigh, what should I do?"

Chapter 675, A Practice Work

The magic carriage doesn't need a driver, so this scene unfolded: the Batmobile drove up ahead, and a driverless carriage followed closely behind at a speed comparable to a sports car, which looked very strange.

Along the way, some people witnessed this scene and were amazed. However, due to their limited knowledge, they could not discern the true identity of the carriage. They assumed that the horses had been trained to recognize the carriage and thus could follow behind it.

As for the speed of the carriage, one can only say that the horse was exceptionally gifted, and compared to the Doomsday that appeared before, it was still more acceptable.

"When I was outside, I thought the carriage wasn't very big, but I didn't expect there to be such a large space inside."

Clark looked around in amazement. Everything before him overturned his perception. This was no carriage; it was practically a mobile villa!

Putting aside the size, everything here is extremely luxurious. All sorts of things that would be considered national treasures elsewhere are readily available here. Gold and diamonds are considered trash here.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a folded space created by magic?"

The folding space was an extremely valuable item even on their Paradise Island, which greatly surprised Diana.

When a man possesses immense strength, extensive knowledge, and astonishing wealth, few women can resist the urge to be curious and learn more.

"Not bad, it does indeed utilize the principles of magic, not bad at all! This carriage is a little gadget I made when I was practicing magic. I rarely take it out to use. If it weren't for today, I might have forgotten about it."

"You made this!?"

"A practice piece I made while practicing magic!"

Exclamations of surprise came from Diana and Clark. They stared at Yi Shuihan in disbelief. If they were envious that Yi Shuihan had obtained the carriage by chance and thought he had a strong foundation, they were completely stunned and dumbfounded to learn that this magical carriage, which they considered incredibly precious and magical, was something Yi Shuihan had casually made.

Obtaining a treasure from elsewhere and having the ability to create one yourself are two completely different concepts. Moreover, this was a work created by Yi Shuihan during his practice. If he were to get serious now, wouldn't he be able to create something even better?

There was only one carriage, so even if Clark and Diana were envious, they wouldn't have any other thoughts. Now that Yi Shuihan said that he made this carriage, if he could make it once, he could naturally make it a second or third time. Such a convenient means of transportation is simply the standard tool in the dreams of heroes.

Even if Clark could fly, he would never mind owning such a magical carriage, not to mention Diana, whose eyes lit up.

Noticing Diana and Clark's expressions, Yi Shuihan instantly understood what they were thinking. In fact, making such a carriage was not difficult for Yi Shuihan; it would only take a few hours. If necessary, he could fulfill Diana and Clark's wishes, but only if it was necessary. It was impossible for him to just ask me for it and then give it to them.

"Don't make such a fuss. My strength is all from my own hard work. I need to learn a lot during my training. When I was making the carriage, my magical ability increased a lot. Sometimes I really envy you two. You are so strong. You have this kind of power almost as soon as you grow up. You don't need to train hard at all."

He spouts nonsense without batting an eye. A significant portion of his power comes from the system, although he also has the results of his own cultivation. However, the system, this cheat code, is far more powerful than Superman's bloodline or Diana's demigod bloodline.

Clark and Diana's power came very easily, mostly due to innate factors. Therefore, when they heard that Yi Shuihan had cultivated his strength step by step, they were filled with awe and felt somewhat ashamed.

"You are so awesome!"

Diana exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, and Clark nodded in agreement.

"Since I have chosen the path of cultivation, I cannot give up halfway. My dream is to see what the highest peak of cultivation looks like. I have only taken a small step so far."

Yi Shuihan did not explain that the highest peak of cultivation he mentioned did not refer specifically to this world, but to countless worlds in the myriad realms. Clark and Diana thought he was being modest.

In just a few words, Yi Shuihan left a deep impression on Diana, and all of it was positive: he was diligent in his cultivation, had lofty ideals, and an unwavering heart.

When Diana first met Yi Shuihan fighting Doomsday, she saw him as a strong person with a righteous heart, slightly better than a stranger. After their first conversation, Yi Shuihan mentioned her hometown and expressed her longing for Paradise Island, which basically put her in the category of someone she could befriend.

After that, Yi Shuihan's care for his friend Clark greatly increased Diana's goodwill towards him. Finally, during their conversation in the carriage, Yi Shuihan's display of both soft and hard power completely convinced Diana to regard him as a trustworthy friend.

Some people have known each other for a long time but are only nodding acquaintances, while others can become life-and-death friends after just meeting. Diana and Yi Shuihan do not belong to either of these categories, but they are still very rare.

"If you are interested in magic, I can teach you. In that case, you can also try to make magical artifacts. Of course, when you will be able to make magical artifacts of this level depends on your talent and how hard you work in your training."

Yes! Once I learn magic, I can make it myself, and there are many very useful magic spells.

Clark was moved by Yi Shuihan's words, but Diana's words cooled his burning heart considerably.

“I may not have that talent. I tried it before. And I’ve heard that even a magic genius would need at least several decades to reach the level of being able to make space magic artifacts. Someone with average talent might not achieve anything even after hundreds of years of research.”

Chapter 676, Forming the League of Legends

Yes! If magic were really that easy to learn, then how could magical items be so rare?

The thought that even with his talent, he would need to study magic like a research fanatic for decades to create such a carriage completely dispelled Superman's idea of ​​learning magic. Magic was good, but it wasn't his thing. He would rather just stay in the sun and get stronger.

Since he didn't study magic, the task of creating a magical vehicle would have to rely on Yi Shuihan. Clark wondered how he could get Yi Shuihan's help.

Unfortunately, Superman owed Yi Shuihan too much, yet he couldn't offer Yi Shuihan any real help, so it was really difficult to find a suitable reason for the time being.

"I have some things I don't need. I wonder if I could exchange them with you for a carriage like this?"

Diana still has some collections and plans to acquire what she wants through exchange.

Yi Shuihan's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He was quite looking forward to Diana's collection. The other party knew the value of the carriage, and the fact that she was still asking this question meant that she must think that what she owned was no less valuable than the carriage.

It's important to know that Diana's Amazonian clan is an extremely powerful one. Diana herself is incredibly strong, arguably the strongest female warrior in the Amazons. Moreover, as the daughter of the queen, her life was a gift from the gods, and she was favored by them. If she didn't possess some valuable items, Yi Shuihan would despise the gods of this world for being so stingy.

"You want a carriage like this? I'll send you one later, why bother changing it?"

She didn't actually think that way at all, but she acted extremely generously. Yi Shuihan had calculated that Diana couldn't be that shameless.

Sure enough, Diana shook her head repeatedly and said, "That won't do. I can't take your things for nothing. At least you should see what I have! I have a lot of strange and unusual things in my collection that have just been sitting there without being of any use. Maybe you'll find something you need among them?"

With a somewhat hesitant expression, Yi Shuihan finally agreed to the proposal under Diana's insistent gaze.

Clark was actually hoping that Yi Shuihan would say something about giving him a car, but Yi Shuihan seemed to ignore him and didn't say what he wanted to hear. Clark couldn't bring himself to ask for it.

After making an appointment with Diana, they discussed other matters, such as world politics, geography, culture, and rare treasures. The conversation covered a wide range of topics. Among the three, Clark rarely interrupted, as he knew the least. After all, he had lived far less than Yi Shuihan and Diana. Although he could travel the world in a very short time, some things required careful observation and in-depth understanding to know.

More than half an hour later, they finally arrived at Bruce's manor. Yi Shuihan put away the carriage, and the group sat down in the manor hall.

Bruce was originally very satisfied with his estate. After his arrangement, the items and decorations were all carefully chosen, giving it an understated yet luxurious feel. Many social celebrities who came here praised his taste.

However, all these things were completely useless when facing Yi Shuihan and Diana. Yi Shuihan and Diana were well-traveled and didn't find anything to praise here. As for Clark, he had just seen the interior of Yi Shuihan's carriage. Compared to that, Bruce's place was much less impressive, so he wasn't surprised at all and was even a little disappointed.

Bruce was starting to feel uneasy. He could accept Yi Shuihan and Diana's situation, but what was wrong with Clark's nonchalant expression? Bruce knew Clark's true identity: an ordinary family, ordinary relationships, an ordinary job. Aside from his immense power, Bruce believed Clark had nothing that could compare to him.

Once on his own turf, Bruce changed into a sharp suit. His mature face and slightly weathered eyes made him the perfect type of woman favored by wealthy ladies.

The title of "Master" wasn't given lightly. Without Bruce even having to give any instructions, a group of servants proactively prepared supplies for Yi Shuihan and his companions, and stood by, ready to obey any orders.

"I plan to form an organization, a group of heroes from Earth, called the Justice League. Its main purpose is to deal with alien invasions of Earth. Normally, everyone can go about their business as usual, but when a disaster threatens the entire Earth, that's when the Justice League will strike."

On the way back, Bruce had already thought things through carefully and come up with a general framework, even deciding on a name.

"Justice League, I actually think League of Legends sounds better."

Yi Shuihan first spoke casually, then his expression turned serious as he said earnestly, "Actually, I also have an idea: to create a League of Legends, turning heroes into real professions. Every hero would be registered, and they could take on quests and receive a certain amount of money. Both the quests and the heroes would be registered, and then..."

Yi Shuihan spoke eloquently, explaining the League of Legends system in the world of One-Punch Man, an anime he had once watched. Of course, he made some modifications, since this world didn't want to be filled with monsters like the anime world.

It must be said that Yi Shuihan has a very broad perspective. His ideas greatly interested Bruce, Clark, and Diana. They had never thought that being a hero could be a profession.

"...Doing this requires an enormous amount of manpower and resources, and it also requires communication with the government, otherwise conflicts can easily occur. In order to prevent certain heroes' information from being used by malicious individuals, we also need to take certain measures. Of course, what I'm talking about is actually more attractive to heroes who need material assistance. It's not that you can't be a hero if you don't join the League of Legends. Anyone can be a hero as long as they have the will."

Yi Shuihan spoke for nearly an hour before finally stopping his long-winded speech, by which time Bruce and the other two had fallen into deep thought.

Chapter 677, Still Wanting to Form an Alliance

Yi Shuihan took a sip of the slightly cooled black tea, exhaled a breath of stale air, and then quietly waited for Bruce and the other two to finish their thoughts.

He wasn't particularly concerned about it, since there wasn't any specific task involved; he just thought it might be interesting to do so.

Once a direction is proposed, the general idea and framework are almost complete. Yi Shuihan will definitely not do any other specific tasks. Even if he has nothing to do, he will not create trouble for himself.

About fifteen minutes later, Superman was the first to come to his senses. After all, he was much simpler than Bruce and Diana, with limited life experience. At most, he could only marvel inwardly, but he didn't really understand the deeper meaning.

To actually implement what Yi Shuihan mentioned, many factors need to be considered, such as whether the government would allow the creation of such a powerful organization, how the public would react, and how the rewards for registering heroes would be obtained.

A little while later, Diana and Bruce came to their senses almost one after the other, and it was clear that they were both in a state of high excitement.

"I think we can give it a try. If we can really turn being a hero into a profession, I believe the Earth will become much more stable in the future."

Bruce spoke first, looking intently at Yi Shuihan, clearly including Yi Shuihan in his words.

“It is indeed worth a try. I used to want to change the world, but I found that I only changed myself. Now there is another path in front of me, and I am willing to try. I know many powerful heroes, and I can invite them over to discuss this in detail.”

"Although I don't know any powerful heroes, nor do I have Bruce's brilliant mind, my strength is decent, and I'm willing to contribute to this cause."

"Actually, the creation of the Justice League and the League of Legends is not contradictory. The purpose of the Justice League is to resist alien invasion, while the League of Legends is to solve problems inside the Earth and deal with criminals. People can be members of the League of Legends and also belong to the Justice League. Joining the League of Legends only depends on strength and a simple character investigation. To become a member of the Justice League, more than 6% of the Justice League members must agree, and a long-term observation is required. Anyone found to have evil intentions will be removed from the Justice League."

Bruce hasn't forgotten his Justice League, but there's some truth to what he said.

"I understand what you mean. The heroes of the Justice League are the true core force of Earth, while the League of Legends members are on the periphery. In critical moments, the Justice League members will stand on the front line. So, here's a question: what are the benefits of joining the Justice League? If there are none, then why join? Just becoming a member of the League of Legends is enough, isn't it?"

Yi Shuihan wasn't trying to discourage us; he was simply stating a fact: we're all adults, and it's best not to have that kind of naive, albeit selfless, idea.

There are very few people who are truly willing to risk their lives, and even if you yourself are not afraid to die, you will still have relatives and friends. Evil people will not mind using this to threaten you. Obviously, compared to the League of Legends, the members of the Justice League will be the first to be attacked.

Faced with Yi Shuihan's questioning, Bruce fell silent for a moment. He hadn't thought of that point yet, or perhaps he subconsciously idealized others.

"I can offer some of my collection as rewards for Justice League members. And Master Yi, with you here, you can use magic to craft many magical items, which I believe many people will be interested in. Moreover, we can send people to protect the friends and family of any heroes who join the Justice League, and dedicate a portion of the Justice League members to this task, rotating them as needed."

Diana put forward her own idea and set her sights on Yi Shuihan.

If Bruce had said it, Yi Shuihan would have refused outright, but if it were Diana, he couldn't refuse so easily.

"They actually brought trouble upon themselves. I should have kept quiet."

A slight regret arose in Yi Shuihan's heart, but since things had come to this, Yi Shuihan didn't blame Diana or anything like that.

It's not unacceptable to put in some effort, but doing work for free is definitely not an option.

Just as Yi Shuihan was pondering what to do, Diana was telling Bruce about what had happened earlier. Bruce had no idea about Yi Shuihan's magical abilities, nor did he know that there was something hidden inside the carriage.

Sure enough, after hearing Diana's story, Bruce was first surprised, then a look of joy appeared on his face, and his gaze toward Yi Shuihan became somewhat fiery, though not in the way of romantic love.

Even our Superman Clark was quite excited at this moment. If this really came to fruition, he could legitimately obtain a magical vehicle from Yi Shuihan.

Lacking experience, Clark could only sit there and watch quietly; he couldn't offer any constructive suggestions in the short term.

Diana also considered Yi Shuihan's situation. She didn't want Yi Shuihan to make unconditional sacrifices, so she decided to give Yi Shuihan some privileges when the Justice League and the League of Legends were established. The League would provide the most basic materials for making magical tools, and Yi Shuihan could post tasks within the League for free.

"It feels like a bounty hunter guild!"
