Seeing Gen splatted on the floor, eyes closed, peacefully asleep, Xia Yan couldn't help but be startled.
He quickly reached out to check Gen's breathing. Feeling normal breaths, just in a self-protective comatose state, he finally relaxed.
Ultraman recovery ability was strong. Just a good sleep and rest, and Gen would recover soon.
Earlier, during training, the scrapes on Xia Yan's arms and knees from falling were already completely healed.
Not even a scar remained.
So, the question arose: How much longer was Dan Moroboshi's limp going to last?
Recalling most of the Leo series plot, Dan Moroboshi appeared with a broken leg and still used a crutch even when he died in an explosion later.
An injury like a broken leg, even on a human, with comminuted fractures, would be mostly healed in about half a year or so.
For an Ultraman with stronger vitality and recovery, the healing time would only be shorter.
As for Dan Moroboshi being old? Don't be ridiculous.
His age couldn't be over 20,000 years. Even if it were 20,000.
That age was prime adulthood in the Land of Light. After all, Ultramen lived ridiculously long.
So, eliminating all impossible factors, the remaining possibility, however improbable, was almost certainly the correct answer.
Xia Yan's内心警惕 towards Dan Moroboshi rose. This guy really has a lot of坏心眼.
Looking down at Gen sleeping peacefully on the floor, he thought: When training Zero in the future, I must join in.
Thinking of the father's debt paid by the son... Xia Yan took out his transformation device and opened his personal interface to check changes.
[All-Ultraman Mastery Evolution Lv1 (10/100)]
[Identity: Human]
[Life Tier: E+]
[Composite Skills: Universal Boxing Lv1 (0/100)]
[Special Ability: Dimensional Travel Lv1 (0/100)]
[Materials: Human Hope Power ×1, Ultraman Leo's Light ×1]
It seemed he had passed the beginner phase. The panel no longer automatically gave detailed explanations but instead showed corresponding experience bars.
However, as Xia Yan thought about using them, he naturally learned the skills' and materials' functions.
The "Leo's Light" provided by Gen, when used during transformation, granted a fusion form.
Body toughness, jumping power, arm strength, and grip strength would be greatly enhanced. Of course, this was temporary, disappearing after battle ended.
But Xia Yan's own original form could permanently raise its上限 during the transformation process. Although the幅度 was small, what if he transformed many times?
Thinking this while looking at Gen on the floor, Xia Yan couldn't help but smile.
Forgive me, Gen. This isn't the last time.
As for Universal Boxing, no need to explain—Gen's signature skill brought from Planet L77.
Although not yet fully成熟, it already had the ability to归纳总结拳法和腿技 into a single martial art.
It included not only the Spinning Kick but also basic拳法 and an early version of the Leo Kick.
Xia Yan actually wanted beam skills more, but Universal Boxing wasn't bad either.
This time, absorbing Gen's light energy didn't yield one. He could wait for Gen to recover and find another opportunity to absorb.
Presumably, new skills could be抽到 as well.
Thinking this, Xia Yan willed his transformation device to disappear.
At the same time, he walked to an open area, planning to test another idea.
Adapting to the feeling in his mind, he suddenly leapt into the air!
His entire body紧接着 started spinning like a top!
"It worked!" Xia Yan's face instantly lit up with惊喜. This was something he couldn't do at all before!
Indeed, when hard work doesn't seem to pay off, why not try cheating!
This was a piece of cake now!
As his focus wavered, Xia Yan's body became unsteady, unable to maintain the hang time.
He then splatted down, landing on his butt.
Though his face grimaced in pain, his smile couldn't be concealed.
The Spinning Kick he couldn't master before, even if not熟练 now, with a few more practice sessions, using it shouldn't be a problem!
Beaming with欣喜, Xia Yan took out his transformation device again to check his interface. The changes were as he expected.
[Universal Boxing Lv1 (1/100)]
Because it included various combat techniques, Universal Boxing's experience only increased by one point.
But it showed that practicing the Spinning Kick alone provided progress. Mastery was just a matter of time.
Of course, it wasn't that solely practicing the Spinning Kick could刷高 Universal Boxing's experience无限ly.
In Xia Yan's feeling, probably after gaining about 10 experience points, the Spinning Kick would no longer provide experience.
Then, he'd need to practice other combat skills to continue increasing Universal Boxing's experience, as it was a martial art that归纳融合 other techniques.
Just as he was pondering this, he faintly heard footsteps coming from the stairwell.
This was a training area Dan Moroboshi had asked Director Ōmura to reserve specifically for Xia Yan and Gen.
Usually busy teaching students, no one would come to打扰.
Being on a higher floor, this era had no elevators. Climbing the stairs took several minutes.
Children almost never came here to play.
Since his body evolved, Xia Yan's abilities in human form had long become异于常人.
With his hearing and a vague sensing ability, he could tell the person wore sneakers and had a light gait.
He hadn't started training in Ultra Psychic power yet, so his感知能力 was a bit lacking. But this was enough to guess who was coming.
Putting away his transformation device, Xia Yan went to Gen's side and helped him up.
Surface功夫 still had to be done. After all, in others' eyes, he was Gen's childhood friend.
Just then, Hiko's figure appeared at the stairwell转角, slightly out of breath, carrying a lunch box.
Through her earlier试探, Hiko already understood Gen's true feelings. Of course, she had to make some moves.
Although she didn't know why Gen always avoided the topic, it didn't stop her from launching another攻势.
Recently, she learned some技巧 from a student's mother: to win a man, first win his stomach and heart, then slowly give him a sense of home.
So today, Hiko brought the lunch she carefully prepared.
Rushed for time and climbing stairs, fine sweat beads appeared on Hiko's嫩白的瓜子脸蛋儿 forehead.
But the corners of her mouth unconsciously held a sweet smile, her cute little虎牙 slightly visible.
However, when she entered the training area, she noticed Gen's condition seemed off.
Panicking, Hiko hurried closer, her voice full of焦急 as she asked:
"Xia Yan-san, what's wrong with Gen-kun!?"
As she came closer and helped support Gen, Hiko noticed his complexion was very pale. Looking at him, she couldn't help but show担忧 in her expression.
Facing Hiko's inquiry, Xia Yan remained composed,脸不红心不跳地说道:
"Let's help Gen to the rest room first. Don't worry."
"He just over-trained and fainted. He'll be fine after sleeping it off."
