"Let me take a look first." Mule nodded in satisfaction.
"Tell me after you've practiced, so I can see if your skills have improved," Champa chuckled.
"No problem, no problem." Mule did not object.
The call ended there.
Mule picked up the Sunflower Manual and saw a line of small print on the cover. "Of all martial arts, speed is the only way to break through."
Immediately afterwards, Mule curiously turned to the first page.
"To master this divine skill, one must first castrate oneself!"
Mule: "..."
Mule then tried to turn to the second page, but he couldn't open it no matter what he did.
The next moment, Mule keenly noticed that below the words "To practice the divine skill, one must first castrate oneself," there was another line of small print—only after completing this could the second page be unlocked.
Mule remained silent.
No wonder that guy Champa doesn't train.
Mule's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at Broly, who was eating.
Afterwards, Mule leisurely returned to Sidra's side and placed the Sunflower Manual on the table.
Sidra paused for a moment, then glanced at the book on the table and muttered curiously, "The Sunflower Manual? What's it for?"
"Uh, it was passed down to me by Champa," Mule said, giving Broly a meaningful look as he ate.
Broly immediately perked up his ears and quickly pointed in this direction.
"Mine!" Broly stood up and pointed to the book.
"You gave it to Champa, didn't you?" Mule asked with a smile.
Broly nodded.
"You practiced?" Mule asked again.
Broly nodded vigorously.
Mule: "..."
Mule looked at Broly with a hint of sympathy.
This silly child.
I wonder if that thing has any other uses?
Kids are so ignorant.
"Since you gave the Champa to me, and now Champa 're giving it back to me, are you planning to take it back?" Mule smiled slightly.
"You treated me to something delicious... so it's yours." Broly glanced at the feast on the table and waved generously.
"That's more like it." Mule smiled, a smile that held a deeper meaning.
Curious, Sidra picked up the Sunflower Manual and looked at the small print at the bottom.
"In the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to break through defenses?" Sidra muttered to himself.
"That guy Champa said that even Ultra Instinct will be affected by absolute speed," Mule said with a smile. "Sidra, what do you think?"
"He's right... As long as the speed reaches an absolute level, Ultra Instinct might not be able to dodge it." Sidra nodded and casually turned to the first page.
After seeing the contents of the first page, Sidra fell into deep thought.
Immediately afterwards, Sidra turned to look at Xiao Qi beside him and tossed the book to Mule.
"This kind of book isn't for me," Sidra shook his head.
A brief silence.
"Mule, you can actually give it a try," Sidra said with a smile. "It's not like you can't grow it, so maybe you really can push your speed to its limit."
"I heard that Luo Tian and Broly were able to reach their current level because they cultivated the Sunflower Manual, and they only cultivated for a year in total," Mule whispered to Sidra.
"They've only been training for a year? That's truly remarkable..." Sidra was genuinely surprised and patted Mule on the shoulder. "Mule, I really think you should give it a try. If you can reach the strength of God of Destruction and then enter Mosco's body, you might even surpass that guy Beerus."
Mule's eyes lit up at that moment, and he was somewhat tempted. He felt that the Sunflower Manual in his hand had become much heavier.
What you said makes a lot of sense.
If I could reach the power of God of Destruction, and then combine it with Mosco, wouldn't I be able to easily defeat Beerus?
I'll make you God of Destruction look down on me!
I'll give it a try!
That evening.
The moon rises above the willow branches, and we meet after dusk.
Above that moon, in a dark cave, Mule sat on a rock with his legs dangling on the ground.
At the same time, Mule picked up the Sunflower Manual in his hand and turned to the first page.
"To master this divine skill, one must first castrate oneself!"
Mule gritted his teeth, and a small energy knife flashed from his fingertips.
Mule suddenly flicked his finger.
"Ah..."
A bloodcurdling scream, like that of a pig being slaughtered, echoed across the entire moon.
Majin Buu walked out of the room, looked up at the moon in the sky, and looked confused.
"What's wrong?" Broly rubbed his eyes and came out to ask curiously.
"Broly, can you hear someone shouting on the moon?" Majin Buu pointed to the moon in the sky.
"No." Broly shook his head.
"The moon is so round tonight," Majin Buu suddenly said.
"Yes, it's so round." Broly nodded. "The last time I saw such a round moon was six months ago when I tore it in half."
Majin Buu looked bewildered, not understanding the point of Broly's actions.
The two grinned foolishly, staring intently at the full moon hanging in the sky.
"Uh... Luo Tian said I can't keep staring at the full moon... otherwise I might turn into Great Ape." Broly suddenly looked away, his heart pounding faster and his breathing becoming rapid.
Majin Buu: "???"
Broly took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his body, without transforming as a result.
"Strange fellow." Majin Buu chuckled.
Broly grinned foolishly.
A brief silence.
"Hey, if you absorb me, how much will your strength increase?" Broly suddenly asked.
"How much stronger can it grow? I don't know... It should be stronger than the two of us combined," Majin Buu replied.
"It's like saying nothing at all," Broly shook his head.
"Hehe, do you want me to absorb you?" Majin Buu grinned wickedly.
"We'll talk about it when we need to." Broly, like a little adult, imitated Luo Tian, putting his hands behind his back and showing a thoughtful expression.
"Now that you're my friend, I won't absorb you." Majin Buu shook his head.
"If I'm in danger, you can absorb me," Broly whispered in Majin Buu's ear.
Although Majin Buu didn't understand Broly's meaning, he readily nodded in agreement.
Above the moon.
Mule's face turned deathly pale as he endured the intense pain and looked at the Sunflower Manual.
"Unlocked successfully."
Four large characters slowly appeared on the first page of the Sunflower Manual.
Mule took a deep breath and excitedly turned to the second page.
The second page still had eight large characters written on it.
Even if one castrates oneself, success is not guaranteed.
Mule's face turned pale, and he instantly looked terrible, suddenly having a bad feeling.
The next moment, Mule immediately turned to the third page.
"Success is possible even without castration."
Mule was so angry that he trembled all over, and his face was extremely ugly.
Immediately afterwards, Mule's gloomy face turned to page 4.
There is only one word on page 4.
"Over!"
Mule stared intently at the last character, which seemed to be mocking him, written in a crooked and distorted manner, its meaning seemingly full of ridicule.
It's almost as if it's been reduced to the word "idiot".
"Wow!"
Mule flew into a rage and destroyed the book with a single wave of his hand.
Champa, you just wait!
I won't let you get away with this.
And Broly, how dare you make fun of me.
You teamed up with Champa to mess with me, didn't you?
If it's found out that you really killed my son, I will never forgive you.
I will destroy you completely, so that you can never be resurrected.
Universe 11, Planet Pride.
Merus was truly defiant, relentlessly pestering Jiren to become his Apprentice Supreme Kai.
Jiren had no tears.
Jiren really wants to ask Belmod, did Marcarita also pester you to be the God of Destruction back then?
Are all these angels so shameless?
Jiren repeatedly refused, stating that he had no interest in the Supreme Kai.
Of course, to avoid Merus asking him to become the God of Destruction again, he simply added that he wasn't interested in being the God of Destruction either.
Jiren says he just wants to be an ordinary human being.
Three days passed quickly.
Merus' pursuit of Jiren ended in failure.
"Never mind, I'll do it," Luo Tian sighed.
Merus looked disappointed, as if the girl he liked didn't like him back.
They chased for three days but still couldn't catch up.
The key point is that I'm also a tall, rich, and handsome guy.
This woman definitely has something wrong with her head.
Merus started having wild thoughts.
This is the first time in his life that Merus has pursued a human as an angel, wanting to train this human to become Supreme Kai.
But the human didn't appreciate it at all.
"Fine, go ahead, Luo Tian. I don't believe he'll agree to be your Supreme Kai." Merus took a deep breath and said to Luo Tian.
After all, in Merus's view, if he himself had not succeeded, how could Luo Tian possibly succeed?
I am the Grand Minister's own son. Luo Tian is just an ordinary human. Although he is evolving towards the path to becoming an Angel, his identity is definitely not as special as mine.
You can do things that I can't do?
Luo Tian calmly found Jiren and had a deep conversation with him.
About 10 minutes later, Luo Tian and Jiren came out of the room.
Jiren's expression was also solemn, and his demeanor showed even more respect.
Merus: "???"
Merus suddenly realized that something was wrong.
I have a feeling... Luo Tian seems to have successfully fooled him.
"Greetings, Lord Merus." Jiren immediately stepped forward and bowed to Merus.
Merus was stunned again.
What does that mean?
Merus was a little confused. Looking at Jiren bowing to him, he thought for a moment that Luo Tian had brainwashed him.
Is this still the same Jiren who used to ignore me?
It's worth noting that during those three days, Jiren completely ignored Merus.
For some reason, Jiren is bowing to me now?
"You... you really are Jiren?" Merus asked, somewhat uncertainly.
"Lord Merus, I agree to become your Apprentice Supreme Kai!" Jiren bowed again.
Merus was dumbfounded, blinking for a long time before he came to his senses.
Immediately afterwards, Merus turned to look at Luo Tian, wanting to ask him what he meant.
"Lord Kaiyen agreed to one condition, which is why I am willing to become your Supreme Kai." Jiren glanced at Luo Tian and explained to Merus.
"Conditions?" Merus was taken aback, then turned his gaze to Luo Tian again.
"It's not a big deal. Jiren's biggest wish is to revive his master Gicchin." Luo Tian explained with a smile, "I promised him that once he becomes a true Supreme Kai, I will help him fulfill this wish and find a way to revive his master."
Merus: "..."
How come I didn't know such important information?
How did you know that?
If you had told me sooner, I could have persuaded him.
"Jiren, how did your master die?" Merus asked casually.
"Killed by Demon Race!" Jiren answered truthfully, "His soul did not have time to escape."
Merus: "..."
Merus was immediately overwhelmed.
The next moment, Merus pulled Luo Tian aside and whispered to him, "Luo Tian, do you know what you're doing?"
"What's the problem?" Luo Tian asked.
"Even we angels cannot resurrect those without souls," Merus, shaking his head helplessly.
"Even the Dragon God can't revive those without souls?" Luo Tian smiled slightly.
"The Dragon God? That shouldn't be a problem." Merus's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized, "You mean you want to use the Dragon God to resurrect his master Gicchin?"
"Isn't it very effective? He immediately agreed to become the Supreme Kai." Luo Tian smiled.
"Something's not right... something feels off..." Merus rubbed his head, feeling that something was amiss.
Luo Tian didn't say anything, but just smiled and looked at Merus.
"Wait a minute... didn't you say you were going to make him your Supreme Kai? Why did you give him to me?" Merus asked curiously.
"I was just joking with you. Why would I compete with you for someone?" Luo Tian laughed, hovering in the air, patting Merus on the shoulder and saying earnestly, "You're my best friend. It would be inappropriate for me to compete with you for the Supreme Kai you've chosen."
"Luo Tian ..." Merus's eyes were a little moist.
"Don't cry, angels don't shed tears... right?" Luo Tian.
"You...you removed that interjection..." Merus rubbed his eyes, a look of gratitude on his face.
Luo Tian is so good to me.
I managed to convince such a wonderful person and even made him my Apprentice Supreme Kai.
"So what about you? Are you really planning to train that Goku to become Supreme Kai?" Merus asked hastily, somewhat embarrassed.
"You've already picked all the good ones, I'll just find someone to train." Luo Tian sighed, looking helpless.
"Luo Tian, please don't say that," Merus said seriously. "The universe is so big, and there are 12 universes. Let's choose carefully again. I'll help you find one this time."
"No need, let's just go with Goku. I still prefer to train my own people." Luo Tian smiled slightly.
"Since you've said that, I won't go easy on you during the assessment." Merus chuckled as well.
"No problem, no problem," Luo Tian nodded.
After careful consideration, Luo Tian decided to properly train Goku.
It would be really interesting if he had a match with Merus' Jiren.
Goku, I will train you into an outstanding warrior over the next 30 years.
As for Jiren, Luo Tian wasn't very interested in him.
Everyone may have their own limits.
In Luo Tian's view, whether it's Goku, Vegeta, or Broly, they basically have no upper limit.
Jiren has basically reached his limit.
Even if Jiren improves further, it certainly won't be by much.
Unless one encounters some special circumstances, it is possible to significantly improve one's strength.
Moreover, Luo Tian felt a great sense of accomplishment in cultivating his own people.
Of course, there is another very important reason: Luo Tian knows how to train them.
So after thinking it over, Luo Tian decided to give Jiren to Merus.
This is the Supreme Kai that Merus has always wanted.
I'm doing you a favor by giving it to you now.
I wonder what your expression will be when your Jiren loses to my Goku.
I told you to choose Goku before, but you disagreed and insisted on choosing Jiren instead.
Luo Tian was really looking forward to that day.
Merus' expression will definitely be even more interesting than during the election for God of Destruction, right?
The main point is that by that time, I had already transformed into a true angel.
I'm getting more and more excited!
Luo Tian was secretly delighted.
"So... should we go back to Universe 18 next?" Merus suggested. "Or should we go to Earth of Universe 6 first and bring Goku over with us?"
"We don't need to go to Earth for now. Let Goku grow on his own for a while," Luo Tian suggested. "Let's go back to Universe 18 first! By the way, are you taking Jiren with you?"
"What do you think?" Merus decided to ask Luo Tian for his opinion.
"Give him a book to study on his own first, and then come over to guide him when you have time. There are still 30 years, aren't there?" Luo Tian smiled slightly.
"You're right. I think we should find a Lord Supreme Kai learn from him." Merus thought about it carefully and agreed with Luo Tian's point, so he shared his own thoughts.
"How about we find the Supreme Kais of the Universe 7 and learn from him?" Luo Tian suggested.
Merus: "..."
"You're joking, aren't you? Following the Supreme Kais of the Universe 7, we've both been led astray." Merus wiped his sweat.
The two exchanged a few jokes and chatted for a while before walking to the opposite side of Jiren.
"Smack!"
Merus gently raised his right hand, and a book appeared in his hand.
Luo Tian glanced at the cover of the book and saw several large characters printed on it: "The Kaioshin Cultivation Guide".
