Simultaneous Time Travel: What Villain? I'm the Protagonist!
Chapter 19 Taking Leo as an Apprentice
At this moment, on a spaceship 5 light-years away from the L77 Nebula, the sword-wielding tyrant Magma alien stood dumbfounded, with twin monsters and Hipporito aliens standing beside him.
"So, do you still think you can win?" The Hipporito alien's voice carried a hint of sarcasm.
But the Magma alien did not retaliate, as he knew that if the Hipporito alien had not stopped him, he and his fleet would have already turned to ashes.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "What should we do? Does this mean we can only run away from now on?" The Magma alien's eyes were full of resentment.
"Of course not, the power of darkness is far stronger than you imagine," the Hipporito alien's reply gave the Magma alien a glimmer of hope. After all, given his reputation, even if he didn't fight L77, the Land of Light would still come after him.
"What does this mean? Could it be that King Juda is about to be resurrected!" The Magma alien suddenly remembered the background of the person opposite him and immediately became excited.
"King Juda's consciousness has been awakened, but it will take more than ten years for his true body to be resurrected," the Hipporito alien's words gave him peace of mind. At worst, he could hide for a few years.
As if knowing what the Magma aliens were thinking, the Hipporito alien suddenly let out a strange laugh: "It seems that the legendary sword-wielding tyrant has become a coward, only daring to hide."
"You're the same. If you had the guts, you could just go to L77."
"Hahaha, of course I can't beat him, but I won't just run away like you."
"What do you mean?"
"I told you, the power of darkness is far greater than you imagine," the Hipporito paused, "You've forgotten the great war thirty thousand years ago..."
The Magma alien looked at the other person with a look of terror on his face, and stammered out the name:
"Ampera Alien!"
Just as the two were plotting, Sheng Ren was preparing to return to the Land of Light, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by someone just as he was about to set off.
"Please guide me in my cultivation, senior," Leo said with unwavering determination. He deeply resented his own powerlessness in the face of L77's calamity.
Looking at the young prince before him, Sheng Ren felt a complex mix of emotions.
In the original work, Leo's experience is nothing short of tragic. His hometown was destroyed, his father died in battle, his younger brother was captured, and he was stranded on Earth. It was only under Seven's rigorous training that he eventually grew into the King of Fighters. It was a path of growth filled with blood and tears.
Now, thanks to his intervention, Nebula L77 is preserved, and Leo's father and brother are safe and sound. This is undoubtedly a good thing, but it also means that Leo has lost the "path of hardship" that originally propelled him to rapid growth.
"You want to become stronger?" Sheng Ren asked.
"Yes!" Leo nodded vigorously, his eyes burning with a fierce flame. "I don't want to be like this again, helplessly watching the enemy wreak havoc. I want to protect my family, my people, and everything I cherish!"
His voice was powerful and resonant, carrying both the air of a king and the passion of a young man.
Sheng Ren was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I can guide you, but you must understand that true strength cannot be obtained overnight. You need to put in far more effort than ordinary people and endure unimaginable pain."
"I'm not afraid!" Leo said without hesitation. "I can endure any pain as long as I can become stronger!"
"Very good." A hint of approval flashed in Sheng Ren's eyes. "Then, starting today, I will begin special training for you. But before that—"
He turned to the King of L77: "Your Majesty, I need your permission. Prince Leo's training will be arduous, and he may need to leave the L77 Nebula for some time."
The king looked at his eldest son, his eyes filled with both pride and reluctance. But in the end, he nodded: "Your Excellency Shengren, I entrust Leo to you. He is L77's future hope, and I believe your guidance will make him a true powerhouse."
"Father..." Leo choked up a little.
"Go, child." The king patted Leo on the shoulder. "Remember, wherever you go, L77 will always be your home. We will all be here, waiting for the day you return in glory."
Leo nodded emphatically, his eyes glistening with tears, but even more so with determination.
"Alright, let's set off then," Sheng Ren said. "However, before we officially begin training, I need to return to the Land of Light to report on the situation. Leo, say goodbye to your family first, and head to the Land of Light in three days. That will be my first test for you."
"Yes, Master!" Leo bowed respectfully.
Sheng Ren smiled and didn't correct his form of address. He transformed into a golden ray of light, soaring into the sky and flying towards the Land of Light.
On the way back, Shengren began to think about how to train Leo.
Leo's talent is undeniable. In the original work, he eventually became the King of Fighters and even created the iconic "Leo Kick." However, the current Leo is still too young and lacks practical experience and systematic training.
"Perhaps... we can learn from Seven's training methods and combine them with some of my own insights," Sheng Ren pondered.
Seven's training of Leo, while rigorous, was undeniably effective. However, the situation is different now. Leo is no longer the exiled prince who has lost everything and is driven only by hatred, but a young warrior with a strong will to protect. The training methods should be different as well.
"Basic physical fitness, fighting skills, energy control, combat experience... all of these require systematic training." Sheng Ren formulated a preliminary training plan. "Moreover, we also need to develop exclusive skills suitable for Leo based on his characteristics."
A few hours later, Shengren returned to the Land of Light.
At the Space Garrison headquarters, Father Ultra, Zoffy, and the original Ultraman were already waiting for him.
"Shengren, how is the situation?" Father Ao asked.
"The crisis in Nebula L77 has been resolved, and the Magma alien fleet has been completely annihilated," Sheng Ren reported on the battle situation. "In addition, I promised Prince Leo that I would guide his cultivation."
"Prince Leo?" The First Generation was somewhat surprised. "You want to take on an apprentice?"
"I suppose so." Sheng Ren nodded. "Leo has great potential. If he receives the right guidance, he will definitely become an important fighting force for the Land of Light in the future."
Father Ao pondered for a moment: "Since you've already agreed, then go ahead and do it. But about Zoda..."
"Zoda's matter will not be delayed," Sheng Ren assured him. "Being my apprentice is not that easy. I will personally search for Zoda's remnants. The remnants of the Gua Legion were the biggest help to Leo's growth back then."
He looked at his father: "I plan to apply to establish the Shengren Security Team, with myself as the captain and Leo as a member."
Upon hearing this, Father Ao's face showed an approving expression: "Good, I completely agree. You should start preparing immediately, but you must shoulder the responsibilities of the captain."
"I understand." Sheng Ren nodded solemnly. "I will hold myself and my team to the highest standards. The goal of the Sheng Ren Guard is not only to deal with the threat from Juda, but also to become the sharpest sword in the Land of Light, cutting through all the darkness that threatens the peace of the universe."
