"Who are you...?"

Ultraman Leo asked, puzzled.

"Ginga, Ultraman Ginga."

Ultraman Leo nodded.

He flicked his wrist, casting his cape behind him.

To Xiao Che's surprise, he assumed a fighting stance.

Xiao Che dared not slacken, mirroring the stance immediately.

The two engaged simultaneously, and after a few rounds, Ultraman Leo reached a conclusion.

This person's talent was absolutely no less than that of Ultraman Zero.

"Good! Very good! You've come to learn the Cosmic Fist Technique, haven't you? I shall teach you now!"

Xiao Che bowed in gratitude.

The training began, and the process was grueling.

But with his top-tier talent and extraordinary perseverance, Xiao Che learned quickly.

In a short amount of time, he touched the threshold of a Grandmaster.

Ultimately, he achieved the rank of Grandmaster.

However, the Sky Screen only displayed the segments that proved Xiao Che's hard work and talent.

To the people of the Douluo Continent, it felt like only a short incense stick's time had passed.

Xiao Che had mastered the Cosmic Fist Technique and become a Grandmaster.

The dungeon illusion dissipated, and Xiao Che returned to the Consecrated Hall.

At this moment, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong hurried forward to offer their congratulations:

"Congratulations to Your Excellency for achieving the rank of Grandmaster in the Cosmic Fist Technique."

Xiao Che returned to his seat; though his expression remained calm, there was no sign of joy.

For him, several years had passed during his training, and he had gained profound insights during those years.

Even his temperament had become much more composed.

He had completely shed his previous roguish air, as if he had been purified and stripped of all impurities.

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue returned to their original seats.

The Sky Screen changed once more, beginning to catalog the next Ultraman.

[Ultraman Seven]

[Identity: Stellar Observer No. 340, Civil Official (Former) responsible for mapping interstellar orbital charts]

"A civil official?"

Dai Mubai and Tang San, having just suffered setbacks in the dungeon, suddenly acted as if they had found a soft target.

They had previously heard Ultraman Seven introduced as the master of Ultraman Leo when the Sky Screen featured him.

Yet, it turned out Ultraman Seven was merely a civil official.

They failed to notice that this was only Seven's former identity.

"It seems this Ultraman Seven only became a master to Ultraman Leo in other respects; otherwise, how could a mere civil official teach and train the King of Fighting?"

No sooner had Tang San finished speaking than the Sky Screen slapped him in the face.

[Appearance: Ultraman Seven does not have a Color Timer on his chest; instead, he uses the emerald beam lamp on his forehead to indicate energy levels and danger. His head is equipped with his signature controllable weapon—the Eye Slugger.]

[Skills: Telekinesis (an ability possessed by almost all Ultramen, capable of controlling objects or interfering with enemies from thin air). Seven possesses the strongest telekinetic ability among the Ultra Brothers, allowing him to freely control the Eye Slugger for long-range attacks.]

[Beams: Emerium Beam; Wide Shot.]

[Special Abilities: Possesses the ability to shrink in size and can use Capsule Monsters to assist in combat.]

[Combat Technique: Possesses exquisite fighting skills, adept at discovering an opponent's weaknesses.]

[Titles: Jeep Monster (Unofficial), Cane Alien (Unofficial)]

Seeing these titles, the people of the Douluo Continent were confused.

Isn't Seven an Ultraman? What the hell are "Jeep Monster" and "Cane Alien"?

The Sky Screen's title display must be based on some kind of judgment.

Perhaps these were rumors circulating in the universe, widely recognized by the public.

That would explain why the Sky Screen would display such unflattering titles.

Yet, these two titles were clearly even more excessive than Ultraman Ace's "Dismemberment Maniac."

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were also filled with doubt.

The previous ones might have been understandable, but these clearly didn't seem like titles that belonged to an Ultraman, did they?

And so, they both turned their gazes toward Xiao Che in unison.

Xiao Che answered their confusion just as he always did:

"This has to do with the historical origins between Ultraman Seven and Ultraman Leo; you will understand later."

Seeing Xiao Che end the conversation with that same "you will understand later" line made both Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue feel incredibly frustrated.

They were clearly so close to knowing the truth, yet he always left them hanging.

But there was nothing they could do; who told them Xiao Che was an Ultra Warrior?

Whatever Xiao Che said, that was just how it had to be.

Inside the Consecrated Hall.

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the other consecrated elders were extremely puzzled by this.

This clearly wasn't a title for an Ultraman, so how could it be so widely recognized?

It was different from Ultraman Ace's "Dismemberment Maniac."

That described his combat style.

But he truly couldn't imagine the reason behind "Jeep Monster" and "Cane Alien"!

What... could this possibly have to do with cars and canes?

In a lounge within the Heaven Dou Imperial Family palace.

Yu Xiaogang was also watching the Sky Screen.

He hadn't been awake for long, but the humiliation he had suffered earlier was something he would never forget for the rest of his life.

"This Ultraman Ace is a monster! This Ultraman Leo is also a monster!"

He slammed his fist against the table, blaming the Ultramen for the cause of his recent humiliating experience.

Just then, the Sky Screen suddenly changed.

A line of text appeared amidst the blurry imagery.

[Precious recorded footage of Ultraman Seven training Ultraman Leo]

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang felt a flicker of interest.

As someone who also sought to teach an outstanding disciple, Yu Xiaogang was very curious to see how Ultraman Seven trained Ultraman Leo to produce such a King of Fighting.

["What kind of training is this?!"]

As the scene opened, what everyone saw was not some special cultivation method.

Instead, they saw Seven holding a cane, beating Leo mercilessly.

Whether it was waterfall training or jeep training, that cane never failed to make intimate contact with Leo.

[On the jeep, Seven shouted from the driver's seat: "Leo, don't run! Charge straight at the car!!!"]

[Facing the oncoming jeep, Leo's first reaction was to dodge and refuse. He shouted: "I don't understand, Captain!"]

Even after Ultraman Leo suffered defeat after defeat, and was even injured so severely that he was wrapped up like a mummy, the training never stopped.

Finally, the Sky Screen finished playing the clips.

At the end, a few more lines of text appeared.

[The fear, resistance, and long-lasting "psychological trauma" from this training method became Ultraman Leo's most unforgettable memory.]

Everyone across the entire Douluo Continent who saw the Sky Screen was left speechless.

How was this training so different from what they had imagined?

It must be that our level is too low, and the Ultramen's level is too high; it's normal for their training methods to be different.

"Normal my foot!"

Qian Renxue stood up.

She had hoped to steal some techniques, but this was all she got to see!

Bibi Dong finally understood what Xiao Che meant by the "origins between Seven and Leo."

So that was it!

She finally understood why Ultraman Seven was called the Jeep Monster and the Cane Alien.

Who wouldn't develop psychological trauma after being trained like that even once?!

She even seriously suspected that the "harshness" Ultraman Leo showed while training Ultraman Zero might have been fueled by personal grudges.
