Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

Page 432

In fact, Hikari is one of the few Ultramen of the Blue Tribe who possesses strong combat potential. In the original work, he completed the transformation from a scientist to an outstanding warrior in a very short period of time.

Such speed and the intensity of the power boost are rare even among the Red Tribe Ultramen who excel in combat.

Now, with Leo's and his own help, he should be able to grow at a very fast pace.

At the very least, it can protect Arbos in the near future.

In this way, Hikari was spared from turning to the dark side, although it was only temporary, and he eventually recovered.

Minghui felt it was better to avoid such an experience, because it would not only be a devastating blow to Hikari's psyche, but would also affect another person.

Torregia!

This is Ultraman Taro's friend, who works with Hikari at the Science and Technology Bureau.

In the far future, this Ultraman will also fall into darkness, but more thoroughly than Hikari, and in a way that is irreversible.

One of the reasons he turned to the dark side was that he learned that Hikari, his most respected superior, had also fallen into depravity. This became the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing him, who had already begun to question the relationship between light and darkness, to resolutely leave the Land of Light.

Of course, even without Hikari's experience of turning to the dark side, it doesn't mean that Tregear could completely avoid falling into depravity.

He will still ponder the relationship between light and darkness, but without that influence, he will be more rational.

The rest, with the help of friendship, bonds, and the like, could be pulled back from the path of darkness.

Thinking this to himself, he shouted at Hikari, who was fighting Leo not far away:

"Hey, Hikaru, I thought that guy named Torregia I met before was pretty good. Keep an eye on him from now on!"

"what?"

Hikari was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and the next moment he was sent flying by Leo's punch.

"Don't get distracted during the battle!"

Leo slowly withdrew his fist and said in a deep voice.

"boom!"

His body slammed heavily onto the rocks. Hikari struggled to his feet from the pile of stones, and in a state of near collapse, he shouted to Minghui:

"Why are you saying all this at a time like this!"

"Haha, sorry, sorry."

Minghui waved his hand somewhat embarrassedly and smiled:

"I just think that young man is really good and deserves your close attention."

"Okay, okay, I got it!"

Hikari waved his hand somewhat irritably and responded with a sound.

He answered casually, but he actually kept Minghui's words in mind.

He didn't think Minghui had just said it on a whim; there might be other meaning behind it.

Toregia...

That young man is indeed quite good, but he seems to overthink things a bit...

"Hey!"

Just then, Leo's battle cry interrupted his thoughts, and Hikari felt a pain in his waist, and was sent flying again.

Leo slowly withdrew his kick, shook his head, and sighed.

"I told you, don't get distracted during the battle."

"hateful!"

Hikari clenched his fists, roared, and charged forward after getting back to his feet.

"That's right, you need to be this energetic to become stronger."

Minghui laughed as he watched the two of them fight again.

But just then, he suddenly felt a gaze fixed on him, making him feel like he was being pricked by thorns.

"Ok?"

Minghui's gaze sharpened, and he turned his head to follow that gaze.

At the top of a mountain not far away, a figure sat on a protruding rock. He was not a giant like Ultraman, who was tens of meters tall, but rather had a human-like physique.

The man was wearing a cloak and a hood, and was silently watching them.

"That is......"

Upon seeing that figure, Minghui's eyes lit up, and he had a guess in his mind.

Ha, Old Wang!

Even though you didn't appear in your true form, I recognized you at a glance!

Hey, you've been hiding your identity before, now it's time to openly reveal your true identity, right?

Minghui was overjoyed. He slowly floated up and moved closer to that direction.

"that......"

But at that moment, Astra, who had been standing to the side, hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Upon hearing this, Minghui paused and turned to look at Astra.

Oh, right, Astra is now serving as the King of Ultra's bodyguard. He needs permission to see the King, right?

Thinking this, Minghui asked:

"Will it be okay for me to go?"

"Uh... um..."

Astra's attitude seemed a bit strange; he hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head and sighed.

"Sigh, go ahead."

"Okay, thank you!"

Minghui said happily, and then flew towards the mountain peak without further hesitation.

Tsk, I hope he's alright.

Watching Minghui fly away, Astra shrugged and muttered to himself.

"drink!"

A moment later, Minghui approached the mountain where the King of Ultra was located. A flash of light appeared on his body, and he returned to his human form.

He then approached the seated figure with a broad smile, but suddenly froze:

"Oh dear, what's wrong with you, old man? Where have you just come from?"

Chapter 379 You want to cultivate too? Here you go!

"Oh dear, what's wrong with you, old man? Where have you just come from?"

Minghui looked at the figure in front of him, his tone filled with surprise.

The bright red cloak worn by the person in front of him was now dusty and covered in dirt, making him look as if he had just fled from a war zone.

So, is the King of Ultra always this... well, so casual?

Minghui blinked, a strange thought swirling in his mind.

"Humph!"

After Minghui finished speaking, there seemed to be a soft hum, and then there was no further sound.

But Minghui sensed a gaze glancing at him from under the hood.

He was somewhat bewildered by that gaze.

What's wrong? I didn't sprinkle this dust on you, why are you looking at me like that?!

But of course he dared not say these words aloud; he simply smiled and stepped forward, tentatively saying:

"Master Shi Guan?"

This time, the King of Ultra reacted. He took off his hood, but what was revealed was not the appearance of the monk Shi Guan that Minghui had thought, but another face that he had never seen before.

He still looked like an old man, even older than the monk with ten strings of cash. His long white beard hung down to his chest, giving him a somewhat otherworldly and venerable appearance.

But his face now lacked the expected kindness; instead, it looked quite serious.

"sit down."

Old Man Ao pointed to the side, gesturing for Minghui to sit down.

"Alright then, I won't be polite."

Minghui grinned and plopped down on the side.

After he sat down, he suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and said:

"Oh, right, and this too!"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed at the air, pulling out a large stack of books in a flash of white light.

As he handed the book to the King of Ultra, he smiled and said:

"Hehe, I knew I would see you again, so I prepared this especially for you."

The King of Ultra reached out and took it, glancing down at it slightly.
