He gained five upgrade points, the same total as before, but only two free attribute points. However, this time he acquired thirty prestige points.
Previously, the prestige he gained from Samuel and the other two was regrettably small; this time it was ten times greater!
This was the advantage of being a mutant, especially since Laura was the only mutant present.
The increase in free and upgrade points was clearly linked to the prestige gained; the higher the prestige, the more points he could acquire.
The two free points he used on Speed during Laura's rescue had a significant effect; a ten-point increase would be a qualitative leap.
If he could endlessly add points to Speed, he might even surpass Quicksilver.
Thinking about this, Logan felt a surge of excitement, and his desire for prestige increased once again.
Meanwhile, his idea of reorganizing the mutant organization grew stronger. Only within the mutant community could he maximize his prestige and benefits, earn prestige points, and increase his own strength, thereby completely escaping his current situation of being controlled by others.
More importantly, Logan knew that the world he lived in would not be peaceful later on. The Battle of New York had just ended, and outside, the mad Titan Thanos awaited.
In the turbulent Marvel universe, one could not survive without strength.
With this in mind, Logan unhesitatingly used all his upgrade points on his Healing Factor.
At this moment, the Healing Factor was absolutely crucial. Only by restoring his Healing Factor could his body survive various attacks and have a chance to fight back!
Upon using all his upgrade points, Logan suddenly discovered that the pain in his body had significantly lessened.
Previously, with age, his body inevitably suffered some age-related ailments; muscles ached, limbs swelled, and in short, he felt general discomfort due to the deterioration of his bodily functions.
But now, these symptoms were clearly weakening. Although not completely healed, they were much easier than before.
[Current Physical Condition]: Your physical condition is gradually improving!
"The effect seems even better," Logan murmured to himself, unconsciously clenching his fist, contracting his muscles, and then relaxing them, sensing the changes in his body.
This time, he used a total of eight upgrade points on the self-healing factor.
The effects of the previous times were not very obvious; Logan didn't feel substantial changes, except for a slight reduction in coughing.
But this time, he felt as if a great weight had been lifted, and his breathing became smoother.
Perhaps it was because the improvement had reached a certain threshold. Before that threshold, no matter how much improvement was applied, the changes were not significant.
But once surpassed, it was a completely new transformation.
Just like prestige points, reaching a certain threshold activated new abilities.
However, Logan couldn't determine the specific values of these thresholds.
"Logan, your hair!"
Caliban's sudden shout interrupted his thoughts. He pointed at Logan's head in astonishment.
"Hair?"
Logan instinctively touched his head, puzzled. "What's wrong with my hair?"
"You seem to have far fewer gray hairs."
Charles also noticed the change in Logan, wheeling his chair closer and touching his hair in surprise.
The reactions of both men startled him. He quickly got up and went to the mirror, carefully combing his messy hair.
With the inevitable process of aging, his body had developed many characteristics typical of old age, including his hair.
At first, only his temples gradually turned gray, then some locks on his forehead changed color, until the amount of gray hair was nearly equal to his black hair.
In addition, he had deep wrinkles on his face that made him look incredibly old.
But now, the gray hair had turned black again. Except for his temples, the rest of his hair had returned to black, and even the strands were brighter than before.
The wrinkles on his face had also significantly decreased, and his sagging skin was gradually regaining its firmness.
If you only looked at his face, he looked at least ten years younger!
"How did you do that?"
Caliban walked up to the mirror, curiously examining Logan from head to toe. Not only his hair and face, but even the skin on his arms had changed; age spots were rapidly fading, and muscle definition was becoming clearer.
"Uh..."
Logan didn't know how to respond for a moment, remaining silent before finally saying: "I don't know either, but I feel my Healing Factor is gradually recovering."
"Professor," Caliban turned to Charles, "Is this normal?"
Logan seemed to be gradually rejuvenating, looking only ten years younger, but if word got out, it would be a medical miracle.
And this was unheard of even among mutants with special abilities!
Charles was also astonished, scrutinizing Logan for a long time before exclaiming: "Unbelievable, absolutely incredible, Logan! This means your Healing Factor is evolving!"
"My God, the X-gene can evolve even when suppressed! Logan, if the Institute still existed, I would definitely study your genes closely!"
Charles wheeled his chair right next to Logan with a radiant expression.
Such a spectacle couldn't help but excite someone who had dedicated his life to the study of the X-gene!
It is important to understand that the X-gene of mutants from the former era was suppressed, and some with weaker X-genetic abilities were reduced to common people under this suppression.
Also due to this suppression, Logan's Healing Factor couldn't function properly, leading to his rapid aging over the last decade.
However, the Healing Factor in his body was in the process of self-evolution, attempting to counteract the genetic suppression.
Simultaneously, as it evolved to a certain point, the Healing Factor's abilities resurfaced, beginning to repair Logan's damaged X-gene.
If it continued to evolve, Logan's complete return to his better state was only a matter of time!
