Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

Chapter 713 Eleking's Resurrection

In the hidden underground training area of ​​EDF headquarters, there is an area sealed off by layers of security and high-tech access control, where a device that chills everyone to the bone is hidden—the Katachon Training Device.

It is not an ordinary training device, but a bizarre creation that can simulate the extreme environment of the planet Katachon in the 40K world. Its internal structure and operating principles are difficult for even the most outstanding researchers to fully understand.

Stepping into the space simulated by the Catachan training system, one is immediately enveloped by a humid and suffocating atmosphere, as if entering the deepest part of a primeval jungle. The "sky" overhead is obscured by layers of twisted "vegetation," with sunlight struggling to filter through the gaps, forming eerie patches of light. Hokuto and Morohoshi had once had the privilege of witnessing Choi Myung train there, and merely standing at the entrance, they were taken aback by the extreme atmosphere that greeted them. The training methods here can only be described as insane.

Inside the training device, Cui Ming often faced ghostly training scenarios. These "plants" were nothing like the gentle creatures found on Earth. One type resembled vines, its surface covered in a crystalline sap. Upon sensing a living being approaching, it would spring out like a spring, its slender vines rapidly wrapping around the target. The sap also contained a toxin that could temporarily paralyze. Another type was a spherical plant suspended in the air, like a bomb ready to explode at any moment. When Cui Ming passed beneath it, it would burst open without warning, unleashing sharp thorns from every angle. Once these thorns touched a person, they would attempt to burrow into the skin like parasitic spores, taking root and sprouting within.

The "wheat" grown here is even more baffling. Wheat, which should be a source of food for humans, has evolved a self-protective "consciousness" under the extreme settings of this training device. The awns have become as hard as steel needles, and the grains are plump and have sharp teeth. When Cui Ming approaches to harvest, they will sway collectively, as if issuing a warning. If Cui Ming insists on doing so, the wheat will actively attack, trying to bite his fingers. It's as if these plants are the masters of this space.

What's even more chilling is that the "furniture" here seems to have been given life. A seemingly ordinary wooden table might suddenly bend its legs and open its surface like a mouth, revealing jagged "wooden teeth," as if trying to devour him, when Cui Ming rests beside it. The chairs are also restless; their backs might twist and their seats might suddenly collapse, doing everything they can to disturb Cui Ming's rest and adjustment.

Cui Ming, however, immersed himself in this training day after day, like a masochist. He traversed the dangerous plant jungle, dodging various sudden attacks and outwitting the "come alive" furniture. Every perilous situation was an opportunity for growth. When faced with the surging attacks, he would dodge at the last second, skillfully maneuvering through gaps between plants to hone his reaction speed and agility. In his battles against the "furniture monsters," he constantly explored their attack patterns, trying different fighting techniques to subdue them, thereby improving his combat abilities.

Choi Myung's Catachan training device is several times more extreme than the one from 40K.

If the powerful aliens of the universe, the Ambera aliens, knew of the existence of this training device, they would likely be terrified by its sheer horror. Imagine, an Ambera alien stepping into this space, initially brimming with confidence, would be instantly caught off guard by attacks from all directions of plants. Those self-destructing, toad-like simulated creatures would explode around him one after another, releasing poisons that could instantly corrode his armor; while the wheat that actively attacks and the "come alive" furniture would leave him defenseless, plunging him into a chaotic and desperate battle.

This is the Catachan Training Center, a place full of mystery and challenges. Here, Choi Myung constantly pushes the limits of his body and mind, all so that when facing a real crisis in the future, he will have enough strength to protect the Earth and everything he cherishes.

Now, after Taro and Tregear used this treasure...
In any case, Hokuto and Moroboshi Dan genuinely felt that the training intensity was sufficient.
We can't go too far, can we? These two are the younger generation of the Land of Light, after all. Let's not let them be ruined by training.

However, when they had this idea, they turned to Cui Ming, who was undergoing self-training, and swallowed back the words of dissuasion that were on the tip of their tongues.

After all, they had actually seen even more outrageous, self-destructive training methods from Choi Myung.

Cui Ming found himself alone in another extreme zone simulated by the training device, an environment far harsher than where Taro and Tregear were. Countless "Thunderballs" capable of releasing high-voltage electricity swarmed through the air, striking anyone who touched them with a powerful current; from the ground, enormous "Man-Eating Leeches" would occasionally emerge, their massive bodies and sharp mouths capable of swallowing their prey whole in an instant. In this environment, Cui Ming fought these terrifying simulated creatures bare-handed, his body already bearing multiple cuts and bleeding, yet his eyes remained unwavering, each punch and dodge filled with resolute determination.

"Wait! Those two aren't..." Beidou suddenly seemed to realize something, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. "That's right, they're training." Cui Ming had appeared in the monitoring room at some point, a mysterious smile on his face, as if he knew everything Taro and Tregear were going through.

Hokuto sighed helplessly, silently mourning for Kotaro and Kirisaki. He knew that the terrifying training had begun again. In the extreme environment of the Katachon Training Equipment, Taro and Tregear were about to face an exceptionally arduous test, and whether they could break through their limits and become stronger remained to be seen. But regardless, Hokuto silently prayed for them, hoping that these two young Ultramen could successfully complete this training, becoming more resilient to face the even more severe challenges of the future universe.

Why.
Poor Taro and Tregear
You should eat more.
With this level of training intensity, if you guys don't eat more, Old Cui would feel bad about increasing your training volume.
Thinking of this, Beidou shook his head.
Let's keep watching.
Meanwhile, a new situation has arisen on the other side.

A monster connected to Seven has begun to revive.
Eleking.
This creature has begun to revive under the mysterious power of Earth.
