In an empty, silent chamber, a delicate-looking young man with boyish features sat cross-legged on the floor.

Around him, countless tiny spherical particles drifted through the air in a certain pattern.

In the corner of the chamber, there was another man who looked almost exactly the same.

"The intensity of my Ultraman Psychic Power is pretty good, fully up to standard, but its precision is really low. Is that because of Ultraman Psychic Power itself, or because of the Swallowed Star world?"

The handsome young man frowned and slowly withdrew his psychic power, allowing the tiny steel balls to gradually settle onto the floor.

Two months had passed since the battle with the Nine-Headed Sea Serpent King, and Lu Yunhe had followed the others to Jiangnan Base.

After producing enough achievements and displaying sufficient strength, Lu Yunhe received the five-star Hero Medal issued by the government, along with the title of Honorary General... Anyway, they were just worthless titles. It did not matter if they handed out a few more.

To reduce trouble and study the abilities of his Ultraman Avatar, Lu Yunhe arranged accommodations for his family after arriving at Jiangnan Base, then secluded himself in his new home to train.

As for all the troublesome matters coming from every direction, he handed them over to Dong Nanbiao. With the strength of a War God, Dong Nanbiao was more than capable of dealing with them.

Only then could Lu Yunhe peacefully and carefully study the Ultraman Avatar that had reached the Infant Stage.

After reaching the Planetary Level, the Ultraman Avatar awakened three major talents—or rather, three forms.

The first was naturally the red form he had used during the battle with the Nine-Headed Sea Serpent King. Lu Yunhe called it the Power Type.

The moment the Power Type appeared, Lu Yunhe naturally thought of the various Ultraman forms from the tokusatsu shows of his previous life, as well as the three-colored patterns on his Ultraman Avatar.

Thus, while studying the blue patterns, he naturally awakened Ultraman Psychic Power. However, in Swallowed Star, it became Mental Power, and he also awakened the corresponding blue form.

Originally, Lu Yunhe had wanted to call it the Agility Type, but Mental Power did not fit well with agility, so he named the blue form the Aerial Type.

The Power Type could double physical strength and Gene Energy, while the Aerial Type could double Mental Power, corresponding perfectly to martial artists and Psychic Masters.

Since both the red and blue patterns had developed abilities, Lu Yunhe naturally would not overlook the silver patterns.

However, unlike the first two, which directly increased strength, it took him more than a month of research to understand the enhancement provided by the silver form.

Under the silver form, Lu Yunhe's mind became more active, and he seemed more likely to have flashes of inspiration. It had a fairly good effect on creating cultivation techniques and conducting scientific research.

This ability seemed less obvious than the first two, but in a fantasy world, it was undoubtedly an extremely heaven-defying ability. Its effects were simply not very apparent.

He did not know whether the enhancement was too low or his own knowledge reserves were insufficient, but it took him more than a month to barely confirm that it did indeed improve knowledge-based research.

Given the utterly unreasonable changes brought by the silver form, Lu Yunhe named it—the Miracle Type.

Power Type, Aerial Type, Miracle Type. These were the talents developed by the Ultraman Avatar upon reaching the Planetary Level. As for Photon Fluid, it was simply an attack method naturally mastered by the Clan of Light.

Beyond that were a few minor abilities, such as telepathy and super vision, not worth mentioning.

While studying his powers, the Ultraman Avatar also mastered the ability to transform into a human.

Thus, Lu Yunhe, who had only become an Ultraman Host two months ago, lost his job.

Naturally, the humanized Ultraman Avatar chose the appearance of the main body. Aside from looking somewhat youthful because it had only been born a few months ago, it resembled Lu Yunhe by seventy or eighty percent.

Perhaps because this was a fantasy world, the differences between its humanized body and its Ultraman body mainly lay in physical strength, compatibility with the cosmic environment, and the advantages granted by its size. Its overall strength did not decrease much, and its Mental Power remained completely unaffected, though it could no longer use the three major forms.

The three major forms could only be used in Ultraman form, and naturally, the main body could unleash its full strength more easily.

What Lu Yunhe found most unbelievable was that after transforming into a human, Ultraman truly became exactly like a human. It could even bleed. That was simply absurd.

Aside from its abilities, after two months of cultivation, the Ultraman Avatar's realm had just entered the fourth level of the Planetary Level.

However, for the Ultraman Avatar, once it entered the Planetary Level, the difference between a few levels was negligible. It could easily deal with any life born on Earth.

As for Lu Yunhe's human body, it was still hovering at the Advanced Warrior level. In merely two months, his human body could only improve some force-exertion techniques.

At this rate, the next major stage, the Planetary Level, was still far beyond reach.

"Looks like it's time to go out for a walk!"

Lu Yunhe stood up from the floor. There were still many things on Earth that could rapidly increase strength, and he could have the Ultraman Avatar retrieve them.

During the Great Cataclysm, those people who reached the Planetary Level within one or two years had not done so through bitter cultivation alone.

"Dong Nanbiao is here!"

His super vision spotted Dong Nanbiao hurrying over. Then, the Ultraman Avatar transformed into points of light once more and merged into Lu Yunhe's main body.

"Lu Yunhe..."

Dong Nanbiao shouted from outside the house. After being taught a lesson once, he no longer dared to barge in directly.

"What happened this time, for you to rush over here in such a hurry?"

Lu Yunhe opened the door with Ultraman Psychic Power and let Dong Nanbiao in. Even without transforming, he could still use Mental Power freely without any effect.

"Mental Power is so useful. I want to awaken it too."

Only after entering the living room did Dong Nanbiao see Lu Yunhe, and he let out an envious sigh.

"There really is something going on, but I don't know the specific details. The level of secrecy is quite high, and they need you to go in person."

Dong Nanbiao caught the water glass that flew through the air. He was now effectively Lu Yunhe's representative, as well as the bridge connecting him with the higher-ups.

Although he disliked this job very much, whenever he thought of certain things that might happen, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

"It's not about the 'armor' on me again, is it?"

Lu Yunhe joked. In such a vast country, there would always be people unable to see reality clearly.

"Probably not. After one failed experience, they wouldn't forget so quickly."

Dong Nanbiao shook his head. Although he was deeply pained by that incident, he also felt a little schadenfreude.

"Hong!"

Lu Yunhe spoke a very familiar name. He was the first person to surpass the War God level after the Great Cataclysm began, and he had always remained active in the battles between humanity and Monsters.

However, due to a certain matter, Hong had gradually drifted apart from this side of the mainland. It was said that he intended to establish a base city of his own overseas.
