"Another one of the Mysterious Four Ultras!"

But before Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue could continue watching Ultraman Saga on the Sky Screen,

the image on the Sky Screen abruptly cut off.

This time, the Sky Screen offered no introduction. The scene of Ultraman Saga facing off against Hyper Zetton had appeared for only a brief moment.

After all, this was Ultraman Leo's feature.

So only Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue learned Ultraman Saga's identity.

A system notification also sounded in Xiao Che's mind.

[Ultraman Leo review complete] [Bonus reward: top-tier talent in every cultivation technique in the universe] [Bonus side quest: D60 Constellation Cosmic Phantom Beast Fist]

At the same time, a Spark Doll appeared in Xiao Che's hand.

As expected, it was Ultraman Leo's Spark Doll.

But what was this bonus side quest about the Cosmic Phantom Beast Fist?

Xiao Che ignored it. His reward was already in hand.

Since it was a side quest, he could always do it later.

The Sky Screen then turned pitch-black.

A few lines of text appeared.

[Ultraman Leo training instance opened] [Selecting three targets to enter Ultraman Leo's training instance] [Training duration: until Ultraman Leo approves or gives up] [Reward: cultivation method for the Cosmic Fist Technique]

Douluo Continent erupted once more.

"The Cosmic Fist Technique?!"

"Quick! Sky Screen! Pick me!"

"Once I've mastered it and returned, that'll be the day I become a god!"

Only three people would be chosen from all of Douluo Continent!

Even Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, whom Xiao Che had already dismissed, were eager to try.

If even the perfected form was so powerful, then learning just a little could perhaps multiply their strength.

Xiao Che couldn't be bothered to say anything more.

The Cosmic Fist Technique was meant for beings like Ultraman to practice, and Ultraman Leo wasn't someone who taught just anyone.

"Don't get your hopes up. If you go, Senior Leo will definitely turn you down. He might even beat you black and blue before sending you back."

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue looked at Xiao Che as if to ask why.

Xiao Che continued:

"Senior Leo only ever taught two Ultras in his life. One was Zero, the son of his student Seven. He taught him because of his 'bond' with Seven and because Zero really did have talent. As for Mebius, he taught him because the kid had guts."

The two women didn't quite understand. If he refused to teach them, then he refused. Why would he beat them up first?

And why had Xiao Che put such emphasis on the word "bond"?

But what they were most curious about was why this Ultra Warrior named Mebius had been taught because he "had guts."

Xiao Che naturally noticed Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's confusion.

He waved a hand and said:

"You'll find out later. Little Mebius is on the review list too, after all."

The two women could only nod at Xiao Che's words.

Still, Qian Renxue was somewhat unconvinced.

She'd been known as a Spirit Hall prodigy since childhood. Surely she had at least some talent for learning the Cosmic Fist Technique?

Even if she didn't, perhaps she could beg Ultraman Leo to give her a few pointers?

Soon, the Sky Screen displayed the names of the selected candidates.

[Qian Renxue]

[Dai Mubai]

[Xiao Che]

Seeing Xiao Che chosen once again, plenty of people cried out:

"Holy crap! This is rigged!"

"Can't be helped. He's an Ultra Warrior, after all."

"Ultraman Leo's only had two students so far. That shows how much talent the Cosmic Fist Technique requires. Maybe Xiao Che doesn't have what it takes either."

Inside the Worship Hall,

Golden Crocodile Douluo's face lit up with delight.

"I can't believe the young mistress was chosen! The day our Worship Hall unifies the continent is just around the corner!"

He had the most faith in Qian Renxue's talent.

When it came to talent, who in Douluo Continent could claim to be better than Qian Renxue?

Even if she only learned a little on this trip, it would still be far more powerful than god-level strength.

The other enshrined elders hurried to offer their congratulations as well:

"As expected of the young mistress! The Sky Screen must have chosen her because it recognized her talent!"

"Exactly! There's no questioning the young mistress's talent!"

"Once the young mistress returns, it'll be time for our Worship Hall to settle accounts with the two great empires and Spirit Hall!"

When Dai Mubai saw that he'd been chosen, he was overjoyed.

"I got picked... Ahem! With my talent, it was only natural. The Sky Screen must have chosen based on talent."

After thinking it over, Ning Rongrong said:

"So that means that Xiao Che has amazing talent too. He's already an Ultra Warrior, and on top of that, he has such incredible talent."

Tang San scoffed when he heard this:

"He's just a crony. If he weren't an Ultra Warrior, why would the Sky Screen pick him?"

Dai Mubai nodded.

"Xiao San's right. But talent can't be faked. No matter how good your connections are, if you're no good, you're no—"

Before Dai Mubai could finish, he turned into a beam of white light and was whisked away into the Sky Screen.

Two more beams of white light flew into the Sky Screen at the same time.

Qian Renxue had been picked first, so she was the first to receive Ultraman Leo's instruction.

In a barren wasteland, the only figure standing there was Ultraman Leo, wearing a cape.

Qian Renxue stepped forward and bowed to Ultraman Leo.

"Senior, please instruct me."

At that moment, Qian Renxue clearly didn't look the way she normally did.

On the outside, she was an ordinary female Ultraman, sealed inside Training Armor.

Ultraman Leo looked at Qian Renxue, his expression unreadable.

But just a few seconds later, Ultraman Leo suddenly spoke:

"Go back. I can't teach you."

It had gone exactly as Xiao Che said.

But Qian Renxue refused to give up. She couldn't understand it either.

He hadn't even seen what she could do, yet he was already telling her to leave?

"Senior, please exchange a few moves with me. It's not too late to judge my talent after you've seen it."

Ultraman Leo sighed helplessly.

With his hands behind his back, he said to Qian Renxue:

"Come on."

The next moment, Qian Renxue launched an attack on Ultraman Leo.

Yet even with his hands behind his back, Ultraman Leo effortlessly evaded every strike.

He could even counter with his legs, knocking Qian Renxue down with a single blow.

The scene before Qian Renxue's eyes shattered.

She had failed.

Ultraman Leo had seen at a glance that she had no talent.

Back in Douluo Continent, Qian Renxue angrily rapped her knuckles against the table.

At the same time, after seeing how Qian Renxue had done, Dai Mubai sneered:

"Useless. I'll show you what real talent looks like."

Dai Mubai stepped forward.

The process and the outcome were utterly unsurprising.

Dai Mubai was soundly defeated.

Unlike Qian Renxue, however, Dai Mubai was beaten black and blue before being tossed back to Douluo Continent.

His injuries had come back with him, too.

After all, if he'd truly learned the Cosmic Fist Technique, his body would have returned to his real body in Douluo Continent as well.

So his injuries had returned with him too.

But why hadn't Ultraman Leo beaten Qian Renxue when he saw she lacked talent?

Why had he beaten Dai Mubai half to death?

The reason was that Dai Mubai's cocky attitude had reminded him of someone.

Zero!

But Zero had real ability!

Dai Mubai, on the other hand, was nothing but a useless weakling.

He had no talent and no ability, yet he still acted like a big shot.

Ultraman Leo's temper flared the moment he saw him.

And that was how it happened.

He even angrily cursed:

"The Cosmic Fist Technique isn't something just any useless nobody can learn!"

Once Dai Mubai had failed, Xiao Che was the last to step forward.

When Ultraman Leo saw Xiao Che, he was clearly interested.

The Ultraman Xiao Che transformed into wasn't any other Ultraman. It was Ginga in his true form.
