Chapter 138: Whis's Invitation!
Mu Chuan could feel the destructive force coursing through his body. This power was incredibly domineering and terrifying.
However...
What he had gained was only the initial destructive force, and his use of it was still rather rough. Even so, it had already significantly boosted his combat strength.
As everyone was still in shock...
Mu Chuan teleported next to Beerus. His fists, wrapped in destructive power, slammed out mercilessly. Even in the vacuum of space, it felt as if a glass window had shattered.
Ripples spread through the silent cosmos.
His combat power had reached an unimaginable level.
Each punch he threw carried a portion of the destructive force, although his control over it wasn't perfect. Nevertheless, the power he displayed was equally terrifying.
Moreover, Beerus had been caught off guard by Mu Chuan's sudden use of the destructive force and hadn't fully reacted. He was dodging purely on instinct.
Even so...
Beerus was hit several times in quick succession.
This sudden turn of events left the Saiyans utterly bewildered. Their strength was far from comparable, and they had no understanding of the complexities involved.
It just felt like the situation had changed dramatically out of nowhere.
"Strange, why does it seem like the boss has suddenly become so much stronger?"
"What the heck is going on? Is it because of that power from before?"
"Did you guys notice? The energy surrounding the boss is somewhat similar to the one on the God of Destruction, but it's not as pure or as strong."
"Yeah, it seems that way..."
This realization left them utterly confused, and they exchanged bewildered glances, seeing traces of shock in each other's eyes.
What was going on?
At first, Mu Chuan hadn't been able to match up. Now, he had suddenly learned to use his opponent's power—wasn't that a bit too ridiculous?
Even they found it incredibly hard to believe!
How astounding must his talent be!
As everyone stood there in a daze, Mu Chuan continued his assault. Each strike carried immense, terrifying power.
And he was in control!
He directly suppressed Beerus, and though using the destructive force drained him, it also gave him a clearer understanding of it.
With each punch, his combat power grew, although not in a consistent manner. But the force behind his attacks became increasingly terrifying!
Sometimes it doubled, sometimes it quadrupled.
Other times, it only increased by one-fold.
Even so, the destruction caused was still quite terrifying, leaving Mu Chuan incredibly excited!
"So this is the destructive force?"
"I can hardly believe it—this is too powerful! With such a force, as long as my combat strength is slightly stronger, who could be my match?"
Mu Chuan was filled with confidence at this moment. Though the energy consumption was high, his familiarity with the destructive force grew with each use.
This was an entirely new form of power!
However, he had no idea that the destructive force he wielded was fundamentally different from the one Beerus controlled, despite their apparent similarities.
At the very least, Beerus's destructive force couldn't amplify his attacks; it was merely an extraordinarily powerful energy.
There was an essential difference between the two.
But... Mu Chuan was completely unaware of this!
He believed that the destructive force should naturally have such abilities, which only added to his excitement.
At the same time...
Beerus finally regained his composure. He took a deep breath, gradually calming his mind.
"Interesting. I didn't expect to encounter someone with such talent, able to grasp the mysteries of destructive force just by watching me use it."
"If Whis were to train you properly, it would be something extraordinary, wouldn't it?"
"Let me see what kind of power you've truly mastered with this destructive force."
Beerus got serious.
In a flash, his energy skyrocketed to an immensely terrifying level.
Before Mu Chuan could react, he was struck by Beerus's tail, leaving him completely stunned. Beerus didn't give him a chance to recover.
A flurry of attacks followed, leaving Mu Chuan utterly dumbfounded.
He couldn't even fight back...
At first, Beerus had fought him as a game. Now, however, he was slightly more serious.
It was a swift and decisive victory!
Under everyone's stunned gazes, Mu Chuan was swiftly defeated, all his power instantly dissipating.
Beerus casually dusted off his hands.
"Not bad, not bad. At least I had a little fun. But your strength is still lacking. Even though you've grasped the destructive force, you can't truly harness its full power."
"In the end, you're still far from the divine realm."
"Although combining the strength of others can temporarily help you cross into the divine realm, it's not your own power. Only by mastering it yourself can you fully unleash its potential."
"You still have a long way to go."
After this brief critique, Beerus was ready to leave. After all, Mu Chuan and Frieza's battle had woken him up, and now that his grumpy mood had subsided, he was eager to return to his nap.
"Whis, let's go!"
"Wait, Lord Beerus!"
Whis called out and then flashed over to Mu Chuan. Looking at Mu Chuan, who was now severely injured, he lightly tapped his staff against him.
Mu Chuan's injuries healed instantly, and even his energy was restored. This ability was nearly identical to that of a Senzu Bean.
Mu Chuan stood up in amazement. Not only was Whis incredibly powerful, but he also possessed so many extraordinary abilities—it was truly remarkable!
However, Mu Chuan was puzzled as to why Whis had saved him. It seemed like Whis had something to say.
As he pondered this, Whis smiled and said, "It's quite impressive that you were able to grasp destructive force during battle. That's no easy feat. I'm curious, Mu Chuan, would you be interested in training further?"
Mu Chuan's eyes widened in disbelief. Was this... an invitation from Whis?
Everyone knew that Whis was Beerus's teacher. Training under someone like him, even receiving a few pointers, would yield massive benefits. Mu Chuan had been wondering how to train next, and now, the opportunity was right in front of him!
Without any hesitation, he nodded eagerly. After all, chances like this didn't come often, and missing it would be a huge loss.
Beerus, on the other hand, snorted in annoyance.
"Troublesome!"
