Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

The battle finally ended, and the smoke-filled battlefield gradually returned to calm. The members of the Victory Team, exhausted, arrived at the Marine Research Center. The tranquil and peaceful atmosphere there stood in stark contrast to the fierce fighting just now. Their purpose for this trip was singular: to visit the adorable dolphin that Lina had been longing for.

Dagu stood out from the crowd. His face was slightly flushed, as if he had just gone through a strenuous workout. In contrast, the rest of his teammates appeared composed, with no signs of abnormality.

Today's battle was a rollercoaster for Dagu. Facing a powerful monster, he failed miserably at crucial moments, repeatedly being toyed with by the same monster using the same tactics. This caused his memorized beam attacks and fighting techniques to vanish without a trace, leaving only a reckless urge to charge at the monster, engaging it in a battle of pure strength, like a desperate all-in at the gambling table.

"Captain Dagu, what's wrong with you? Your face looks so red." The observant Xincheng quickly noticed Dagu's abnormality and asked with concern.

Dagu suddenly began to stutter: "No...it's okay, but...maybe the weather is too hot." Of course he couldn't tell the truth that he had forgotten all his skills because he was fooled by the monster during the battle. How embarrassing it would be if this kind of thing got out!

"Oh, so that's how it is." Xincheng saw that Dagu's words were evasive. Although he was still a little confused, he didn't delve into it. Instead, he turned his attention to the dolphins playing happily in the water and began to tease it to his heart's content.

Lina, standing nearby, silently watched Daigu, a hint of a smile in her eyes, but more of a pang of heartache for him. Recalling Daigu's behavior on the battlefield today after transforming into Tiga, she understood the reason. To protect Daigu's dignity and avoid public embarrassment, Lina secretly resolved to find a suitable time to discuss the situation privately with Daigu.

Lina walked towards Dagu and patted his shoulder gently, "Dagu, let's go out for a walk." Dagu looked at Lina in surprise, but nodded.

The two of them strolled along the beach, the sea breeze caressing their faces. Lina said straight to the point, "Dagu, I saw everything that happened in the battle today... Don't worry, everyone makes mistakes sometimes." Dagu lowered his head in embarrassment, "I know, but I feel so ashamed..."

Lina smiled and soothed him, "Don't think so. You'll definitely be able to handle a similar situation better next time." Da Gu looked at Lina gratefully. "Thank you, Lina." He was simply a little overwhelmed by the monsters' repeated outsmarting today. The other issues weren't serious!

After a period of rest, "Okay, everyone return to the base." Zong Fang said

"I understand!" Everyone replied

At this moment, Daigu looked at Lina and suddenly ran over and said, "Command." Then he whispered something into Zongfang's ear and he nodded.

"Team Leader Lina, Victory Swallow No. 1 needs to be repaired. Therefore, the departure time will be postponed for one hour," Dagu said to Lina, "Follow the order!"

"Yeah, that's great. Haha," Lina took off her uniform and gave them a treat before jumping into the water.

"Wow!" several people howled in unison! Seeing this, Zongfang sensibly pulled Horii Shinjo back, leaving Daiko to admire the beautiful scenery. An hour later, the Victory Team returned to base.

Zhao Ming sat at his desk, his brows furrowed like two tangled black lines. His gaze was fixed on the Lightning Key, which lay quietly before him. Its surface occasionally flashed with golden electricity. His thoughts surged like a tide, his mind absorbed in exploring the mysteries hidden behind the Lightning Armor.

Recalling the thrilling battle with the Abron mutant, Zhao Ming's heart surged with excitement. At that moment, he had personally felt a portion of the power of lightning, a shock like an electric current coursing through his body, a sensation he still remembers. The mysterious Lightning Key before him was one of the three special Magic Bullet Keys possessed by Dragon Sword Dao, and its power was the most unparalleled of the three.

Zhao Ming carefully grasped the Lightning Key in his palm. He could clearly feel the pulses emanating from it, each beat seeming to foreshadow the immense power contained within. Because of this, he wouldn't dare use this extremely dangerous key until he was absolutely certain of its effectiveness.

The scene from his last encounter with the Abron mutants kept replaying in his mind, each scene flashing before his eyes like a movie replay. During that fierce battle, Zhao Ming had first attempted to unleash the power of the Lightning Key. Though he had only scratched the surface of its power, in that brief moment, the terrifying energy unleashed was like a volcanic eruption, sweeping everything away with devastating force. The feeling of that moment was deeply etched in his memory, and every time he recalled it, his heart surged with emotion, his blood boiling.

Faced with such an unimaginably powerful force, Zhao Ming felt helpless, completely unsure how to fully control it. After all, if such a tyrannical force were to get out of control, the consequences would be catastrophic. The destructive power of lightning was simply too strong. Ming Shen Jian Er also suffered greatly when using this Magic Bullet Key!

Despite his heart filled with desire and yearning for this power, Zhao Ming remained highly alert and cautious. Zhao Ming decided to begin by studying the properties of the Lightning Key. He believed that with a thorough understanding, he would be able to find a way to control it.

Zhao Ming, alone amidst the vast expanse of nature, his gaze sharp and focused, not missing a single clue that might connect him to the powerful force of thunder and lightning. He knew full well that this mysterious and powerful force held both immense power and immense risk. Yet, facing such a challenge, Zhao Ming felt no fear, instead, a burning desire and fighting spirit.

As he transformed into Dragon Sword Dao, his majestic form seemed to merge with the heavens and earth. Resolutely, he stretched out his arms, directing the lightning from the sky to flow endlessly into his body. Instantly, electricity raced through his body like a wild horse, inflicting excruciating pain. Even so, Zhao Ming's body trembled uncontrollably, but his eyes remained steadfast, gleaming with an indomitable light.

On his long journey of cultivation, Zhao Ming endured countless hardships and setbacks, enduring countless trials and tribulations. But it was precisely these arduous experiences that gradually enabled him to master the art of controlling lightning. Now, he could not only adjust the intensity and direction of lightning at will, but also skillfully transform it into a deadly weapon to defeat his enemies. Meanwhile, his body, tempered by long periods of training, had gradually adapted to the violent energy of lightning, becoming increasingly stronger and more resilient.

One day, Zhao Ming stumbled upon a group of vicious Crow People. These evil creatures were frantically attacking innocent humans. Seeing this, he stepped forward without hesitation and rushed towards the enemy like a whirlwind.

He gripped the Dragon-Slaying Sword tightly in both hands, muttering something to himself. With a roar, a powerful force of lightning gushed out from the blade. In the blink of an eye, the lightning transformed into savage dragons, charging through the horde of monsters with devastating force. Dazzling bolts of lightning streaked across the sky, mercilessly striking the Crow Man. Only shrill screams echoed, and the once arrogant monsters were reduced to dust under the fierce bombardment of lightning.

Zhao Ming gazed upon the triumph before him, feeling an indescribable sense of accomplishment. At that moment, he profoundly realized that only by constantly conquering oneself can one truly master great power. This success was only the beginning, marking the first step on a brand new journey. Many more unknown challenges awaited him in the future, and he was fully prepared, forging ahead fearlessly.

The Victory Team has recently received numerous reports of missing persons. With no witnesses and no other clues, they suspect aliens are at work and are on high alert.

In a cafe near the park, Zhao Ming and Chris Maya were sitting on a comfortable sofa, enjoying their leisure time. The atmosphere of the cafe was warm and peaceful, and the soft lights cast a romantic atmosphere on them.

Zhao Ming gently stirred his coffee, his gaze resting tenderly on Chrismaya. She smiled, her eyes filled with happiness and contentment. They quietly savored the tranquility of the moment, speaking few words, yet feeling each other's warmth.

Outside the window, moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting patches of moonlight onto the ground. A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness. People in the park strolled or played, their laughter filling the air.

Zhao Ming and Chris Maya were immersed in this beautiful moment. They knew that such peaceful and quiet time was so precious. They wished time could stop at this moment forever, allowing them to enjoy this peace and happiness forever.

"What's been going on with you lately? Is it really like what you mentioned in those martial arts novels? Have you gone crazy practicing martial arts?" Maya's face was unusually heavy, her small lips slightly pursed, her face full of anger and dissatisfaction, as if these emotions were about to overflow from her face.

Not long ago, she had spent a tremendous amount of energy to finally finish all the complicated things she had on hand. When she rushed home with joy and excitement, the first thing she did was to anxiously invite Zhao Ming out for a meeting. She missed Zhao Ming so much and wanted to see him immediately.

However, when she finally saw Zhao Ming appear in front of her, Maya was like a happy little swallow eager to fly back to its warm nest. She opened her arms and ran straight towards Zhao Ming, wishing she could throw herself into his arms and hang tightly on him like a koala.

But what she never expected was that this guy actually turned sideways, easily avoiding her warm embrace. Maya felt as if her heart had been stabbed by an extremely sharp knife, the pain was unbearable. You know, she had gone through so much trouble, traveling through several cities to finally get here to see him. How could she have imagined that the scene that awaited her would be so heartbreaking?

Faced with Maya's questioning and sadness, Zhao Ming offered no further explanation. He simply waved his hand, signaling her to calm down and take a closer look. Then, he slowly extended his right hand and gently stroked the lush green lawn before him. A shocking scene unfolded: the moment his palm touched the grass, the once vibrant, lush green grass suddenly turned pitch black, as if struck by a powerful bolt of lightning.

Maya's jaw dropped to the ground at this sight, her beautiful eyes widening as she stared blankly at the charred lawn, completely stunned. After a moment, she regained consciousness, as if waking from a dream, and stammered, "What...what on earth is going on? How did you do that?" Her voice trembled slightly, like the faint, swaying flame of a candle in a strong wind.

The corners of Zhao Ming's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile. After taking a deep breath, he said calmly: "This is a new ability I have acquired recently, but it is still in the initial mastery stage. It requires more training and practice to truly be able to control it with ease."

Upon hearing this, Maya's beautiful eyes flashed with an unconcealable excitement, as dazzling as a meteor streaking across the night sky. She couldn't wait to ask, "So, won't you become even more powerful in the future?"

Zhao Ming nodded slightly, agreeing with Maya. But then he added gravely, "This new ability may bring me a greater boost in strength. I also know that the greater the power, the more cautious and rational it must be used. If used recklessly and without restraint, it could easily bring unexpected trouble or even disaster to myself and those around me."

"Don't worry, this lightning aura will continue to roam in my body during this period. Once I slowly adapt to it, I will be able to control it freely!" After comforting Maya, Zhao Ming thought to himself that if anyone touched him during this period, they would experience the feeling of being electrocuted.

Maya nodded thoughtfully, as if fully understanding Zhao Ming's thoughts. At that moment, her once bright gaze suddenly softened, as gentle and kind as the warm spring sunshine that bathes the earth. She gazed at Zhao Ming with deep affection and spoke with utmost sincerity, "No matter how this power changes you in the future, for better or for worse, I will stand by you without hesitation and offer you my unwavering support and encouragement."

Zhao Ming was deeply moved by Maya's sincere words. His eyes reddened, his emotion evident. The two of them stared at each other in silence, time seemingly frozen in that moment. Their gazes intertwined, as if an invisible yet incredibly powerful force was tightly connecting their hearts into a single whole, unable to separate.
