Among the Shrek Seven Devils.
Tang San had healed all his injuries, and the seven of them were on their way back to the Heaven Dou Empire.
When Tang San saw the Sky Screen introduce Ultraman Leo, he immediately scoffed.
"Cosmic Fist Technique? How does it compare to my Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and Mysterious Heaven Skill?"
He thought that a species with immense natural strength would surely disdain using techniques.
It was just like Soul Beasts, which were born with tremendous strength, yet could still be slain by human Soul Masters who were weaker than them.
Ultraman possessed such immense power and so many different beam attacks. There was no way he would bother studying techniques.
At most, he might know a few simple fighting moves.
Compared to his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, or even Mysterious Heaven Skill, they would be worlds apart.
Tang San turned his head and saw Dai Mubai wearing a wicked smile.
They exchanged a glance and immediately understood what the other was thinking.
"Little San, when it comes to fist techniques and cultivation methods, yours like Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Mysterious Heaven Skill are the real deal. What even is this Cosmic Fist Technique?"
Tang San nodded.
Even if he couldn't match them in overall strength, he believed that when it came to close-combat techniques, he was no worse than anyone.
After all, his overwhelming fighting skills had helped him through plenty of tough situations along the way.
Before long, the Sky Screen changed again.
It began recounting Ultraman Leo's life in text.
[Ultraman Leo went from being a prince to a fugitive wandering the universe. Having felt the pain of "losing his home" firsthand, he was driven to fight to the death to protect Earth as his second home.] [Before becoming one of the Ultra Brothers, his life was exceedingly harsh. Of all the Ultra Brothers, he had the bloodiest battles and suffered the most defeats. Yet, it was his greater share of hardship that made him the strongest individual fighter among them, second only to Taro.]
When the introduction ended, the Sky Screen began showing the most brutal parts of Ultraman Leo's story.
[He suffered defeat many times because he lacked strength or had run out of energy.] [Against enemies with special abilities, Leo once lost all ability to fight when his body was shrunk.] [Outmatched by his opponent, he was directly defeated and "killed" by a monster.] [After the Hipporito Alien froze Leo through trickery, his body became brittle. He was then cut into many pieces, and his remains were discarded.]
Watching Ultraman Leo get killed again and again sent waves of shock through the people of Douluo Continent.
And the worst fate he suffered wasn't even the same as First Generation Ultraman, who had been beaten until his light went out and died.
Instead, he was frozen to death, then dismembered, and even his remains were discarded.
Even on Douluo Continent, that would rank among the most horrific ways to die.
Even Ning Fengzhi couldn't bear to watch.
"This... is truly brutal. His background was tragic to begin with, and he was killed again and again, only to be brought back to life. I, Ning, admire his perseverance!"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong stood beside him.
After returning, Chen Xin had tended to his wounds, and they were no longer serious.
But when he saw Ultraman Leo's dreadful fate, he couldn't help feeling a chill run through him.
If he had to die and come back to life like that, he wouldn't want to become an Ultra Warrior, either.
After all, becoming an Ultra Warrior meant shouldering a heavy duty.
Chen Xin felt he could never live up to that duty. Soul Masters were selfish and self-serving.
And Soul Masters who became Titled Douluo were even more so.
After the battle with Zetton, Chen Xin had finally understood why the Sky Screen hadn't given any more of Douluo Continent's Soul Masters transformation devices.
It wasn't because the Sky Screen was withholding them or targeting Soul Masters.
It was because they weren't worthy!
The person chosen to become an Ultra Warrior's Human Host had to be a virtuous and kind soul, yet still brave and wise.
After all, transforming into an Ultra Warrior granted immense power.
So what mattered wasn't talent, aptitude, or cultivation, but character!
On that score, Chen Xin felt inferior to those Human Hosts who didn't possess even a trace of Soul Power.
While Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were marveling at the Ultra Warriors' character and virtue, Gu Rong offered a remarkably pointed perspective.
"Impressive! He can come back to life no matter how many times he dies—even after being dismembered! Isn't that invincible?"
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin: "..."
Though the Sky Screen wanted the people of Douluo Continent to witness the suffering and hardship Ultraman Leo had endured,
Tang San and Dai Mubai saw only the results of his defeats.
"This so-called King of Fighting is all name and no substance, isn't he? If Cosmic Fist Technique were really that strong, would he have needed to die so many times?"
Tang San shook his head in disdain.
If he had Ultraman Leo's body, wouldn't beating those monsters be a piece of cake?
Cosmic Fist Technique? Nothing special!
What he didn't realize was that this was still the stage when Ultraman Leo was growing stronger.
In the later stages, Ultraman Leo would become a god of war!
Inside the Worship Hall.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, however, had noticed what was really going on.
The reason Ultraman Leo had suffered so many defeats wasn't that he was too weak.
It was because the monsters he faced were incredibly powerful every time.
Sometimes, he even had to fight two or three monsters at once.
Still, they couldn't see what made Cosmic Fist Technique so powerful.
They had indeed seen Ultraman Leo's formidable physical abilities, but nothing as dazzling as Ultraman Ace's.
Xiao Che saw their confusion and explained:
"Cosmic Fist Technique improves more than just fighting skills; it also boosts physical attributes. At its pinnacle, it can even rival Cosmic Phantom Beast Fist, which can destroy an entire interstellar fleet with a single strike."
For a moment, Xiao Che said a little more than he had intended.
When Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue heard that there was another fist technique, and one with such tremendous power, their eyes lit up!
They asked in unison:
"Can we learn it? Cosmic Fist Technique?"
Xiao Che laughed heartily and answered:
"Impossible! Cosmic Fist Technique places tremendous importance on talent and perseverance. You can forget about it."
He scoffed inwardly:
Douluo Continent? And they think they can learn Cosmic Fist Technique?
The universe was vast, and in all that time, there had been precious few people with the talent to learn Cosmic Fist Technique.
And those few had been geniuses among geniuses, like Zero and Mebius.
Douluo Continent could forget about it.
Hearing Xiao Che's answer, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue could only sigh, their faces filled with regret.
After the Sky Screen finished showing Ultraman Leo's growth, the scene changed once more.
A desolate battlefield appeared on the Sky Screen.
The Ultra Brothers were fighting several monsters.
The Sky Screen's view focused on Ultraman Leo.
[A rare recording of Ultraman Leo battling Tyrant] [Ultraman Leo] [Known as: King of Fighting, Grandmaster of Cosmic Fist Technique] [Tyrant] [Known as: Tyrant] [Record: Defeated Ultraman Zoffy, First Generation Ultraman, Ultraman Seven, Ultraman Jack, and Ultraman Ace in succession] [Special ability: Immune to beam attacks]
The people of Douluo Continent cried out in shock after seeing this:
"What?! Immune to beam attacks? How's this Ultraman supposed to fight?"
"Are they going to make us watch Ultraman Leo come back to life again?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo stared at the Sky Screen and asked the other Worshippers beside him:
"How much of a chance do you think Ultraman Leo has?"
The other Worshippers all shook their heads.
"He's bound to lose."
