Starting from the destruction of the Land of Light

Zhong Linwan had felt uncomfortable when Zhang Chen was staring at her, but after hearing what he said next, her anxiety finally died.

In fact, Zhang Chen was right.

The main reason Zhong Linwan left the university and hid here was definitely not to shake off Zhang Chen. If that were the case, she would never have carried Zhang Chen's phone with her, and she certainly wouldn't have opened the door for him just now.

"...You're worried about Bogaru, right?" Zhang Chen leaned forward and continued, "Your behavior that night was strange. At first, I thought you were just being arrogant, but then I realized that the reason you were so eager to kill Bogaru was because she saw your face, right?"

Zhong Linwan pursed her lips and avoided eye contact.

Zhang Chen continued, "Because your appearance was seen, you were worried about retaliation from Bogaru and the Pedan aliens, and you were also afraid of accidentally hurting your innocent classmates and friends, so you could only hide here all alone."

"Well, how should I put it, um, she's quite a gentle person."

"Don't say what you think of me out loud," Zhong Linwan rolled her eyes at Zhang Chen, then crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair.

Zhang Chen didn't respond, but continued speaking to himself, "You can't hide here forever. We can't let Bogaru have the opportunity to prey on monsters, otherwise she'll become increasingly troublesome in the future. We have to deal with her quickly. You don't want Bogaru to get angry and reveal your identity because she can't find you, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Linwan immediately felt a chill.

She abruptly raised her head. "Let me tell you, Zhang Chen, if my identity is revealed, you'll be the first person I suspect!"

"Oh? You've gotten smarter in just three days." Zhang Chen chuckled and placed a piece of boiled fish on top of Zhong Linwan's rice. "But don't worry, although framing someone might motivate you, I personally disdain using such methods and wouldn't use them on you."

Zhong Linwan paused for a moment, then lowered her head and poked at the fish slice with her chopsticks. "Why not choose to cooperate with the Earth Defense Force? If it's a quick victory, wouldn't it be easier to go to them?"

"That's precisely why I won't go after them, since it's a quick and decisive battle." Zhang Chen didn't hide anything. "I didn't cooperate with them before because there was a traitor among them, and I'm not cooperating with them now because I can't establish trust with them in a short time."

"You think we've established trust?" Zhong Linwan raised her eyes.

"I think the fact that we can sit here and eat together right now is enough proof of that, isn't it?" Zhang Chen smiled and continued. "Besides, you have an advantage that they simply can't match. After all, the Earth Defense Force guys wouldn't hand Chu Huai over to me for special training."

Zhong Linwan's expression was a little blank. "Special...special training?"

"Yeah, how can you fight Bogaru without special training? That guy may be weak, but he's not someone you two can easily fool right now. But don't worry, the gap between you two isn't actually that big." Zhang Chen said very frankly and seriously. "So believe me, I have quite a bit of experience in special training."

Then he saw Zhong Linwan freeze in place, and even subtly move back a little.

"I mean it."

Zhong Linwan paused for a moment before speaking softly, "Do you really have a way to enhance my combat abilities through special training?"

"Of course." Zhang Chen's lips curled up. "Actually, the Ultra race has great potential. As a suitable user, you should be able to feel this even more. With proper special training, you can easily and quickly improve your combat power in a short period of time."

"No side effects?" Zhong Linwan was still worried.

"How could there be side effects?" Zhang Chen was amused. "Do you think I'm going to give you drugs? Side effects? I can guarantee you that all the power you gain comes from yourself, and you'll be able to watch yourself improve."

"Really?" Undeniably, Zhong Linwan was somewhat tempted after hearing Zhang Chen's words. After a moment's hesitation, she tentatively asked, "Then, what do you mean by special training that I need to do?"

"Don't be too nervous. The special training I've prepared for you is targeted training. Simply put, it's divided into three parts. First, make up for your weaknesses as much as possible, which raises your lower limit. Second, develop and amplify your strengths, which raises your upper limit. Finally, I want you to create new skills based on the known improvements to completely perfect your combat configuration."

Zhong Linwan. "...?"

Seeing the other person's blank expression, Zhang Chen's lips twitched. "Beautiful lady, may I ask how you previously increased your combat power?"

"I..." Zhong Linwan opened her mouth, her face slightly flushed. "Before, I was learning some martial arts, like Wing Chun, Bajiquan, and stuff like that... What are you laughing at? I practiced very seriously, okay!"

"Sister, do you really think you're Superman A-Guang?" Zhang Chen couldn't hold back anymore.

"Superman A-Guang? Who's that?"

"A guy who claims he doesn't have much strength, yet he lifted the seabird with one hand," Zhang Chen said quickly, then continued without waiting to see if Zhong Linwan understood. "What I'm trying to say is that you're from the Blue Clan, and you're not suited for the path of martial arts."

"The Blue Clan?" Zhong Linwan frowned slightly. "Does the Ultra Clan have different races?"

It is clear that although Zhong Linwan obtained the power of Ultraman Phyllis, she did not obtain his memories at all, and she could not even distinguish the race of Ultraman.

"The Ultra race can be divided into three categories: the Red Race, the Silver Race, and the Blue Race. The Red Race has the strongest combat power. They are extremely powerful and have great potential. The Silver Race, on the other hand, is good at using light skills. They may not be as strong as the Red Race, but they are very talented in light skills."

"What about the Blue Clan?" Zhong Linwan asked eagerly.

"As for the Blue Clan... I'll tell you if you eat the fish."

Zhong Linwan's expression froze for a moment, then she looked at Zhang Chen's somewhat teasing gaze.

After a pause, she slowly picked up the bowl and shoveled the fish and rice into her mouth.

Zhang Chen smiled, picked up another piece of egg for her, and continued, "...In fact, Blue Tribe Ultramen generally don't go to the battlefield. Their talents are concentrated in scientific research, because Blue Tribe Ultramen are generally weaker."

"So, according to you, the Blue Tribe's Ultraman will never be as good as the Red and Silver Tribes?"

This is what Zhong Linwan is most worried about. She desperately needs power right now, not just to protect the Earth, but more importantly, she really wants to find her parents. However, she has always had a premonition that her current strength is far from enough to find them.

"Don't be so absolute. The Ultra race is a race that possesses miraculous powers. In this respect, there's no distinction between red, blue, and silver. Perhaps you'll obtain some good things in the future, but for now..."

"I still suggest that you improve your own abilities first. Don't seek too much from external things, and don't try to force things to grow faster than they should. Find a path that suits you and improve steadily. That is the best choice."
