Chapter 166: A Different Way to Appear!
"No wonder... No wonder Goku's combat power seems to increase every time he recovers from an injury. However, the improvement hasn't been significant each time, so it wasn't very noticeable."
"No matter how hard I try, I'm always just a little behind..."
Hearing Adam's explanation, Krillin muttered to himself.
Coming from the same school, he had always set Goku as his goal, but the gap between them continued to grow.
Even though they both made it to the Kami's Lookout, the difference between them was plain for all to see.
Now...
That gap might only grow larger until it was impossible for him to catch up.
Krillin clenched his fists, his eyes becoming more determined.
"I won't give up so easily. No matter the talent or race, as long as I work hard, I will catch up someday!"
He wasn't just saying this to himself, but also to everyone present.
In just an instant, everyone's fighting spirit reignited. Falling behind wasn't the scary part—what was terrifying was having no courage to catch up once you had fallen behind.
Seeing the Earth fighters reignite their fighting spirit, the Saiyans present nodded in satisfaction. Though their strength was somewhat lacking, their spirit and willpower were commendable.
This could bridge some of the gaps caused by their lack of natural talent.
"Not bad, not bad..."
"Your fighting spirit is admirable, but you still need systematic training. From now on, we'll arrange your training based on your individual situations."
"How much you gain from it will depend on you..."
One-on-one training? That was practically impossible, after all, the Saiyans themselves needed to train too, and they couldn't afford to waste their time.
As for arranging the training, that was all left to Kami and Mr. Popo. Although their knowledge was vast, their strength wasn't particularly high. They could only teach some technical skills, and in the end, it still mostly depended on the Androids.
Whether it was training plans or sparring partners, the Android warriors were more reliable and convenient, saving everyone time.
Just as Dr. Bellabe was about to arrange for the Androids to start their training, all of a sudden, all the Saiyans lifted their heads in unison.
This instantly raised everyone's suspicions.
What was going on?
Why the sudden change in expression?
"Did you all feel that? A strange and powerful energy just flashed by!" Axianna spoke up first.
Though the energy had passed in a flash, it had put immense pressure on her. Even now, she wasn't sure if she could handle it.
How could she not take this seriously?
The other Saiyans nodded in agreement.
Their reactions startled Kami and the others. After all, these Saiyans were terrifyingly strong.
If there was an opponent they feared, wouldn't that mean the enemy was even more terrifying?
And if even they couldn't handle it, then...
The very thought was enough to send chills down their spines.
...
"Really? Why didn't we feel anything?" Yamcha tried to sense it carefully but couldn't detect any energy, which puzzled him.
The rest of the Earth fighters were in a similar state. Despite their considerable strength, they truly couldn't sense anything.
Dr. Bellabe, who was operating the detector on the side, also heard the Saiyans' conversation. Naturally, he couldn't afford to be careless.
But even with his most sophisticated equipment, there was no detection of any energy fluctuations. Could it be an illusion?
Just as this thought crossed his mind, a flash of light appeared in the sky.
A figure stumbled into view.
It was a figure shrouded in purple light, with purple hair, exuding a destructive aura that caused the surrounding space to emit smoke.
Purple energy waves, purple lightning!
Everyone present was shocked. Could this really be the aura of a human?
Especially the Earth fighters...
They had just sensed an unprecedented energy earlier, but now, an even more massive presence had appeared, one so vast they couldn't even describe it in numbers.
W-What is this being?
The Saiyans, on the other hand, initially seemed uneasy, but as they looked closer, they found this figure oddly familiar.
After repeatedly observing, the group exchanged glances.
"Bo...Boss?"
"Isn't that the boss? When did the boss turn into this? And this aura is even more powerful than it was a few years ago!"
"Could it be that he reached a new level after training with Lord Beerus? This is too strong!"
After recognizing Mu Chuan's identity, they breathed a collective sigh of relief, but at the same time, they were shocked.
This was a brand new form!
The terrifying combat power had truly startled them!
After all, among the Saiyans, Axianna was currently the strongest, and even she could only transform into Super Saiyan 3.
But their boss?
His transformations kept changing, and his combat power grew stronger each time, leaving them with a feeling that they could never catch up.
The Earth fighters, overhearing the Saiyans' conversation, couldn't help but gape in disbelief.
Th-This is their boss?
They were already this powerful, and it seemed like they hadn't even shown their full strength. Now this mysterious guy appears out of nowhere, and he's their boss?
That enormous energy was unforgettable, and it wasn't even intentionally directed at them. If it had been, they would've been crushed to dust in a matter of seconds.
Just the thought sent chills down their spines!
Regardless of the reactions from the others present, the figure was indeed Mu Chuan. He had originally set out from the God of Destruction Realm and should have reached Earth quickly.
But something unexpected happened along the way.
His Instant Transmission was interrupted, and he was even swept into a space-time turbulence. With his immense power, it wasn't likely that the turbulence would affect his destination.
However, during the chaos, he encountered an incredibly powerful figure, a figure whose name caused a slight sense of dread in his mind.
But he couldn't understand…
Why would that person appear?
Moreover, the Dragon Ball world had long been altered beyond recognition by him, so why would that figure show up?
And from the looks of it, that person hadn't yet reached their strongest state, but they had indeed appeared.
If given the chance...
It could spell another disaster. However, since they had only met in the space-time turbulence and had merely exchanged a few blows, it was uncertain whether the other would end up in this timeline.
