Entertainment: You're asked to make a graduation project, but you're asked to film Ultrama

Chapter 299 Barehanded Werewolf Fight: A True Clash of Strength and Soul

A week has passed since the airing of episode 33, "Ultraman Gaia".

Friday night at 8 PM, episode 34 of "Ultraman Gaia" was updated and released on major video platforms.

Countless viewers skillfully skipped the rousing opening theme song, and the main feature slowly lit up.

The opening scene cuts directly to a local wrestling arena filled with sweat and testosterone.

Amidst heavy breathing and the dull thuds of muscles colliding, two robust men engaged in a fierce contest on the ring.

"Go! Go!"

"Push harder! Squeeze with all your might!"

"Go! That was great!"

The audience below the stage shouted loudly, creating a very enthusiastic atmosphere.

The camera focuses on the protagonist of this episode – Da Gang.

He was covered in sweat, his muscles tense, and he was trying to break free from his opponent's hold.

However, faced with his opponent's absolute strength and skill, Da Gang gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

With a practiced turn, the opponent locked Da Gang's arm in a lock.

"Ah—!" Da Gang let out a painful groan, his face turning red.

After struggling for more than ten seconds, Da Gang helplessly slammed his fist on the floor as the referee counted down, giving up on the match.

[A wrestling match at the start? Is this a typical episode?]

Wow, those muscles are really well-developed; they look like they could fight.

But they still lost; their skills were completely outmatched.

Why is this burly man's head so pointy?

Use the Snake Hook now!

Down in the audience, professional wrestler Aqiao frowned and looked extremely grim as he watched Da Gang's defeat.

After the match, Aqiao called Dagang off the stage.

"Da Gang, what kind of stunt was that?" A Qiao reprimanded mercilessly. "Don't you have any sense of responsibility as a professional player?"

Da Gang lowered his head, panting heavily, not daring to refute.

"In your current state, you're not fit to stand in the ring at all!" Ah Qiao pointed at Da Gang's nose. "You're going to the mountains for some time to train in seclusion, starting with the basics. Don't come back to see me until then!"

Faced with his senior's stern criticism, Da Gang could only nod silently.

The scene shifts, and through a conversation between Gamu, who is watching the game from the sidelines, and Kuwabara from the Hercules team, the audience learns about Daigo's background.

It turns out that Da Gang quit his stable job at a major bank with an annual salary of one million yuan in order to pursue his dream of becoming a professional wrestler.

In the fiercely competitive era of 2030, giving up such a lucrative job seems utterly incomprehensible to outsiders.

This is followed by a brief flashback.

Inside Da Gang's rented room, he was talking on the phone with his father.

"Professional wrestling? Are you kidding me! You quit your six-year banking job for this?" the father questioned.

"Please understand me," Da Gang said firmly. "This is my dream, and I'm serious."

"Suit yourself! But you're not allowed to set foot in this house again!"

"Let's break up!" Even his girlfriend slammed the door and left.

Good grief, he gave up his job for boxing, his father cut ties with him, and his girlfriend left him.

[Truly abandoning everything to pursue one's dreams.]

Although it might seem a bit silly, this kind of persistence is quite admirable.

[This guy is a pure martial arts fanatic.]

But without talent, it's all for nothing; he got utterly humiliated on stage just now.

Da Gang walked alone on the streets at night, a hint of loneliness in his eyes, but his steps remained firm.

Just then, the pace of the plot suddenly quickened.

On the way to where I dreamt of walking with Georgie and Kuwabara, a young man passing by was looking down at his phone.

Suddenly, a chilling wolf howl pierced the night sky.

The man looked up.

A tall, werewolf-like monster appeared silently in front of him.

The monster's eyes gleamed with a ferocious red light, and its sharp claws gleamed coldly under the streetlights.

That man was the same burly guy who had previously fought the monster with his physical body! And the monster he fought was another gas wolf, Wolfgas.

At the same time, it is also a performance by Agul.

The man got into a fighting stance and charged at the monster again, but the werewolf monster was extremely fast and pounced on him in an instant!

"Ah—!" A scream echoed through the night sky.

[This monster looks so familiar! Isn't that Ulfgas that Gaia released in episode 12?]

[No, no, Ulfgas is a coward; his eyes aren't that fierce!]

This one is clearly designed to kill; the sense of oppression is completely different.

[This is hilarious! How did this guy get caught by the werewolves again?]

Good heavens, two scars on his face, and they're symmetrical!

The screams attracted the attention of the nearby patrol team and my dream.

In my dream, several people ran towards the sound, intending to stop the monster from harming people!

Just then, Captain Rainuma led his team to the scene quickly.

Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately drew their specially made laser guns and pulled the triggers on the werewolf monster that was wreaking havoc.

"Bang bang bang—!"

Several blinding beams of light accurately struck the monster, and the werewolf turned into gas and fled amidst a scream.

Captain Rainuma stepped forward, examined the injured man's injuries, and his expression became very serious.

"I heard there have been frequent incidents of monsters attacking people at night in this area lately, so I came to investigate. Sure enough, there are monsters." Captain Rainuma said to Gamu.

He keenly sensed that things were not so simple.

The appearance of these werewolf monsters is too frequent and their purpose is clear; it is definitely not a coincidence.

[The defense forces finally did something; that gun is pretty powerful.]

[This werewolf got killed in one shot?]

[The defense team doesn't need to come; I feel like Kuwabara could take down the werewolf single-handedly.]

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

The scene shifts to a desolate, uninhabited deep mountain forest.

Da Gang has already begun an extremely arduous period of secluded cultivation, as instructed by A Qiao.

He was shirtless, constantly engaging in high-intensity physical training.

Running along mountain paths carrying heavy logs, splitting hard rocks with bare hands, and enduring the impact of rushing water under turbulent waterfalls.

Every stretch of his muscles, every drop of sweat, reveals his desire to become stronger.

After a whole day of grueling training, Da Gang sat exhausted on a fallen tree trunk, panting heavily.

Night fell quickly, and it was pitch black in the deep mountains.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew by, and the sound of branches breaking came from the distant woods.

A familiar wolf howl rang out.

Ulffaya!

This ferocious werewolf monster has set its sights on Da Gang, who is cultivating alone deep in the mountains.

The monster pounced out of the shadows, heading straight for Da Gang's face.

Da Gang has extremely fast reflexes; years of wrestling training have given him superhuman reflexes.

He rolled away to dodge the attack and then assumed a fighting stance.

The man and the beast engaged in hand-to-hand combat deep in the mountains and forests!

Holy crap! A human is taking on a monster single-handedly?!

[Da Gang is incredibly audacious! The defense team used laser guns to kill him!]

Real men fight hand-to-hand!

[Monster: You're just using me as a sparring partner, aren't you?]

Da Gang roared and swung his thick arm, slamming a punch hard into Ulffaya's chest.

However, the monster's defenses were far stronger than he had imagined.

The monster didn't budge when the punch landed, but Da Gang's hand bones were jolted and ached.

Ulffaya let out a mocking growl and swung his sharp claws out.

Da Gang couldn't dodge in time, and several bloody gashes appeared on his chest. He was thrown heavily and crashed into a large tree.

At this moment, a second werewolf appeared!

The overwhelming numerical advantage and physical strength caused Da Gang to be defeated instantly.

Just as Da Gang lost the ability to resist, the monster restrained him!

A mysterious beam of light suddenly descended from the sky.

An unidentified flying object emitting an eerie glow silently appeared above Da Gang's head.

Before Da Gang could react, a thin stream of light shot out from the luminous object and precisely pierced the back of Da Gang's neck!

A small metal device was forcibly implanted in his neck.

Da Gang's eyes widened suddenly, his body convulsed violently a few times, and then he fainted.

Upon seeing this, the two Ulffaya quickly disappeared into the darkness.

What's going on?! Aliens have intervened?!

What's that thing around her neck? A chip?

Is this monster being controlled by aliens?

[Da Gang has become a guinea pig! This is definitely a biochemical modification experiment!]

Meanwhile, on the city streets.

The piercing sound of air raid sirens shattered the tranquility of the night.

Multiple Ulffayas suddenly appeared in various corners of the city and began to attack passersby on a large scale.

XIG's air base reacted immediately, and the Lightning team was dispatched.

Wei Weike led his team through the city.

"Targets spotted! Point 217 A8 and Point 303 W9!"

"Initiate the attack!"

The pistol spat fire, precisely locking onto the rampaging werewolf monster.

Amid a series of explosions, these monsters, which had been swaggering in front of ordinary people, were all wiped out by Team Blitz.

Just as he was about to leave, he discovered a suspicious object shimmering with a faint light in the wreckage of the last slain Ulffaya.

That was the exact same metal device implanted in Da Gang's neck.

[For cleanup, you still have to rely on Team Lightning.]

This metal piece is indeed a key prop.

[Why are aliens putting this thing on monsters and then on humans? What are they trying to do?]

The scene shifts back to the command center of the XIG air base.

Gao Womeng placed the metal object that Wei Weike had brought back onto the analytical instrument.

A series of complex data and electromagnetic waveforms immediately appeared on the screen.

Commander Shi Shi, Director Di Cheng, as well as Li Muzi and Qiao Ji, all gathered around, their faces grim.

I pointed to the analysis results on the screen and reported in a solemn tone: "After analysis, this small metal object is a device that can maximize potential."

"Unleash potential?" Di Cheng frowned.

"Yes." I dreamt of pulling up a human neural simulation diagram. "Once this device is installed, it will continuously send a very special signal to the brain. This signal can bypass the body's self-protection mechanisms, rapidly enhancing the host's physical functions in all aspects and forcibly pushing physical strength to 100%!"

Senuma of the Geo base added, "Victim reports from Ulffaya have also come out. Most of them are physically strong men aged 20 to 35. Moreover, they all witnessed a luminous object when they were attacked."

"Someone installed this device on a monster, and now they've brought it to Earth..." Commander Ishimura's gaze deepened. "What's the purpose?"

I took a deep breath and voiced my speculation: "Perhaps... humans are the experimental subjects of the mastermind behind this conspiracy."

[This is chilling! Using humans for biological weapons testing!]

[Removing the brain's limiters? Isn't that just overdrawing on one's life?]

[If you exert 100% of your strength, your muscles and bones won't be able to handle it.]

The mastermind behind this is truly vicious; they selected strong men simply to test the limits of the device.

I Dream then pulled up another chart: "However, this forced enhancement of power comes at a price. While the physical functions of a creature equipped with this device are enhanced, its aggressive instincts are also greatly amplified. Ultimately, the host will completely lose their mind and will be unable to control themselves."

"Can we find their location?" Shi Shi asked.

I tapped a few keys on the keyboard: "I've identified the unique electromagnetic waves emitted by this device. Once we can scan the wavelength of these waves, we can pinpoint the exact location of Ulffaya, or the location of the victim who was implanted with the device!"

Let's turn our attention back to Da Gang.

The morning sun shines on the mountains and forests.

Da Gang, who had been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes. He touched the back of his neck but didn't feel anything unusual.

But when he stood up, he found an unprecedented surge of power coursing through his body.

He walked up to a boulder several times larger than himself. He couldn't have moved it at all.

But now, he gripped the base of the boulder with both hands and roared.

"ah--!"

An unbelievable scene unfolded.

Da Gang actually managed to lift that several-ton boulder over his head!

He felt he had inexhaustible strength. He hurled the boulder into the air, then clenched his right fist and slammed it heavily onto the falling boulder.

"Bang!"

The hard boulder was smashed into pieces by his punch, with stone chips flying everywhere.

Da Gang looked at his hands, his eyes filled with ecstasy.

"I've become stronger... I've finally become stronger!"

[Holy crap! One punch shattered a rock! Did a Saiyan possess him?!]

Is this what it means to unleash 100% potential? That's incredible!

"But this power isn't yours, brother; you're being controlled!"

[Oh no, Da Gang is definitely going to go back and settle things now that he's in this state.]

As expected, Da Gang, now possessing terrifying power, confidently left the deep mountains and headed straight for the local wrestling arena.

Inside the wrestling arena, Ah Qiao is leading his students in their daily training.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open violently.

Da Gang's eyes were bloodshot and he exuded a violent aura as he strode onto the arena.

"Ah Qiao! Let's have another showdown!" Da Gang pointed at Ah Qiao and shouted a provocative shout.

Ah Qiao frowned as she looked at Da Gang, who was behaving strangely.

He could sense the murderous aura emanating from Da Gang; this was no longer an ordinary competitive sparring match.

"Okay." Ah Qiao took off his coat and walked onto the ring.

The game resumed.

This time, the situation in the battle took a dramatic turn.

With the support of the potential activation device, Da Gang's speed and strength completely overwhelmed A Qiao.

Ah Qiao's proud attack hit Da Gang, but Da Gang didn't budge an inch.

Even a casual heavy punch from Da Gang could send A Qiao staggering backward, unable to defend himself.

"What's wrong? Is this all you've got?!" Da Gang laughed wildly, his attacks becoming increasingly frenzied, each move aimed directly at vital points, completely losing his mind.

The audience and trainees below the stage were stunned.

"How did Da Gang become so amazing?"

"Wow, that's amazing! They completely overwhelmed Ah Qiao!"

"Wait, something's off about Da Gang's eyes. Does he want to kill someone?"

Just as Da Gang was about to deliver a devastating blow to A Qiao.

"Bang!"

The wrestling arena doors were pushed open again.

"We are XIG!"

Koga Yume and Captain Rainuma led the defense team and rushed in.

I dreamt I was holding a radar scanner, its red dot flashing wildly, pointing at Da Gang on the arena.

"Captain Rainuma, look at that!" Imu pointed to the back of Daigang's neck, where a metal device was flashing a faint red light.

"Da Gang is no longer normal! Because of the device around his neck, he has become extremely violent!" I Meng warned loudly.

Upon hearing this, A-Qiao's eyes narrowed. He endured the pain, seized the opportunity when Da-Gang threw a punch, and executed an extremely clean takedown, using joint locks to firmly lock Da-Gang in place.

"Now!"

I rushed onto the stage, grabbed the metal device on the back of Da Gang's neck, and pulled it off forcefully.

"laugh--"

The metal device was forcibly pulled out, sparking a series of electrical sparks.

Da Gang shuddered violently, and the bloodshot in his eyes quickly subsided.

The violent and aggressive aura dissipated, and he instantly collapsed onto the stage, panting heavily.

[XIG arrived just in time; any later and Ah Qiao would have been killed.]

[Which eye saw Ah Qiao about to be killed? He could still have been subdued with skill, just without being extremely forceful.]

[Physically removing cheat codes, hahaha.]

[My dream's reaction speed is impressive.]

[Da Gang should wake up this time; power gained through external means is ultimately illusory.]

Da Gang stared blankly at the metal device in Wo Meng's hand, recalling his crazy actions just now, his face full of disbelief.

"I was attacked by a monster while I was in seclusion in the mountains, and this device was put on my neck..." Da Gang muttered to himself, his tone filled with disappointment and regret. "I thought it was because I had become stronger... Turns out it was because of this device..."

He pounded the edge of the ring in agony.

"I gave up everything... my bank job, my girlfriend... I wanted to be a wrestler! Damn it! I have to become stronger!"

Seeing Da Gang break down, A Qiao slowly stood up and walked to him.

"Da Gang." A Qiao's voice was steady and powerful, without blame, only the teachings of a senior.

"Because of this device, your physical strength did indeed increase just now. However, you still couldn't beat me. Do you know why?"

Da Gang raised his head and looked at A Qiao with a confused expression.

"That's because you haven't really become stronger." Ah Qiao pointed to Da Gang's chest, "Right now, you still lack real power."

"True power?"

"That's right," Ah Qiao said firmly. "True strength lies in both body and spirit! Only by forging everything we possess to the highest level can we, as professional wrestlers, step onto the stage with dignity!"

Ah Qiao clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with determination.

"Power against power! Soul against soul! For that is the collision of souls of those who have forged themselves to the highest level!"

These words were thought-provoking, not only causing Da Gang to fall into deep thought, but also making the audience in front of the screen feel excited.

Da Gang looked at A Qiao, his eyes rekindling with a desire for true power.

[Well said! Strength is not irrational violence, but the tempering of the soul!]

[Physical skills are nothing compared to true strength; real strength lies in willpower.]

This is the theme of this episode! A fierce battle of souls!

[Brook-senpai has such a charismatic personality.]
