Whis's Guidance
"So this is what the Realm of the God of Destruction looks like."
Sephiria looked around with her beautiful eyes, her gaze filled with surprise. As a planet inhabited by gods, the environment of the Beerus's Planet was somewhat monotonous. Although it had lakes, grasslands, and even forests, it lacked traces of human life.
"The spatial constraints of the Realm of the God of Destruction are far stronger than those of the Sub-God Realm."
Roland secretly compared it to the Sub-God Realm and couldn't help but nod. The Realm of the God of Destruction was indeed the highest level of space in the universe. Its spatial structure was exceptionally solid, and the planets were protected by special rules. He felt that even if he unleashed his full power, he could only create a crater on the planet.
Attention was drawn to the giant, ancient tree at the center of the God Star. The tree grew by relying on the Beerus's Planet. It was enormous with sparse leaves, and at first glance it looked like a withered, dead tree, but in reality it was radiating a vibrant life force.
Ancient temples were scattered across the rough tree trunks. Roland didn't know what mysteries those temples held, but since they existed on the Beerus's Planet, they must not be useless structures.
"The God of Destruction, Beerus, sleeps in one of those temples!"
Roland took a deep breath to calm herself down.
He wasn't unfamiliar with facing powerhouses at the level of God of Destruction. Back in another universe, the God of Destruction, Pomfrey, nearly killed him. This experience made him even more aware of the terrifying nature of God of Destruction, and he cherished this opportunity all the more.
Only Roland, Sephiria, and Broly accompanied Whis to the Realm of the God of Destruction for training this time. Although Melutis's normal power was comparable to Sephiria's, her cultivation level was still somewhat lower, and she also had to take care of Alice, so she did not come along.
"From now on, you will officially begin your training in the Realm of the God of Destruction. First, I'll add a little burden for you."
With a Staff of the Gods and unwavering gaze, Whis glanced at Roland and the other two. With a flick of his staff, Roland, Sephiria, Broly felt as if they were carrying hundreds of heavy mountains on their backs, their faces turning pale and sweat pouring down their faces.
These burdens are not only oppressive due to gravity, but also suppressive on a spiritual and dimensional level.
"You don't need to become Super Saiyan, just use your physical strength to withstand it."
The light, airy voice made the three, who were subconsciously preparing to transform into Super Saiyan, abandon the transformation and grit their teeth to bear the pressure exerted by Whis.
Whis nodded and said, "Remember my words. While the Super Saiyan state is suitable for battle, you mustn't become dependent on it. The weakness of your original body is insufficient to support future growth. You should train like this for now, and start training again when you've adapted to these pressures."
"By the way, do you see those temples on the Divine Tree? That's where Lord Beerus sleeps. Don't go near them, or you'll wake Lord Beerus up and cause a lot of trouble."
Whis pointed to the temples perched atop the trunk of the giant ancient tree.
Roland and Sephiria both nodded. The Realm of the Realm of the God of Destruction was not a place that mortals could set foot in. The fact that they were able to come here to cultivate was because Whis opened a back door for them, so naturally they couldn't get into unnecessary trouble.
Seeing that Roland and the others had taken his words to heart, Whis nodded, turned around, and began to set up the training environment. This was easy for him; with Staff of the Gods staff, he magically created a simple training ground.
"You will train in this training ground and adapt to the pressure as soon as possible," Whis said calmly.
"Yes."
Roland and the others nodded, knowing this was a rare opportunity, and began to train hard, sweating profusely.
Seeing this, Whis sat on a nearby tree stump and watched Roland and the others practice, occasionally offering suggestions on their movements. Roland and the others then modified their postures based on Whis's advice. Whis was a teacher of extremely high skill; his opinions were often incisive and insightful. Unbeknownst to them, Roland and the others' skill levels began to slowly improve...
In the time that followed, Roland and the others endured the pressure from the Realm of the God of Destruction's Realm while diligently completing the training assigned by Whis.
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Roland and the others had adapted to the pressure they were under, and their strength had improved significantly.
One day, Roland, along with Sephiria and Broly, teamed up to fight Whis in mid-air.
With a whoosh, several golden streaks of light tore through the air, a howling wind swept across the sky, and waves rippled across the vast expanse. As several afterimages flashed by, Roland and the other two launched an attack on Whis together. None of them transformed into Super Saiyan form, and even their Golden Eyes and Red Eye remained unchanged, but each attack they unleashed still possessed earth-shattering power.
A vast expanse of lightning flashed in the void, the immense void itself covered by terrifying energy.
In the pale red sky, Whis remained expressionless, his body motionless, his arms waving continuously in the void.
"Smack!" A hand blocked Roland's attack, followed by another punch. Roland felt a sharp pain, his energy dissipated, and he was sent flying.
"I'll do it!"
Sephiria's graceful figure flashed by, and Whis smirked, flicking his finger. With a "snap," Sephiria was sent flying.
At that moment, Broly roared and appeared behind Whis.
As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Whis's figure flashed like a ghost, bypassing Broly's attack and appearing to his side. With one hand outstretched, he delivered a chop to Broly's neck.
Clang!
Broly's eyes rolled back, and he plummeted straight down from the sky.
"No, you're focusing too much on the effectiveness of your attacks and neglecting the importance of defense." Whis landed from the sky with his hands behind his back.
His gaze fell on Broly, "Especially Broly, his attacks are too forceful, he can't stop at all. He's fine against opponents of the same level, but if they're even slightly stronger than him, then he's no match."
"Skill is very important," Whis emphasized.
Broly grinned and said frankly, "I like straightforward attacks."
Whis nodded. "Cultivating realms may not be suitable for you. Although there is a saying that brute force can overcome all techniques, you must know that 'strength does not fight punches, and punches do not fight skill.' As the saying goes, 'too much is as bad as too little, and things will be more efficient if you wait.' You cannot unleash all your strength; you must leave room for maneuver."
"I understand the cultivation methods of your Planet Sadala. The use of Qi is considered a very good cultivation method in the universe, but you rely on it too much, which is not good."
As he spoke, Whis's aura vanished completely. His figure was clearly standing right in front of him, yet it was as if he didn't exist at all.
"Huh, all the auras have disappeared." Sephiria and Broly's eyes widened, but only Roland's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Some people guessed what Whis was going to say next.
High-ranking deities do not possess human aura; they possess only divine energy. However, this divine power is beyond the perception of mortals. When faced with such an opponent, even mastering the subtle uses of aura will not provide an advantage in battle. In fact, relying too heavily on aura in combat may leave one completely blind and unsure of what to do.
The training of martial arts can be roughly divided into several stages. In the initial stage of martial arts training, combat mainly relies on eyesight, and a pair of sharp eyes can play a crucial role.
Frieza, Zarbon, and other aliens rely on their eyesight to judge their opponents' movements. This fighting style is highly susceptible to environmental influences. For example, encountering strong interfering Ki Blast during battle can put them on the defensive, turning an advantage into a disadvantage in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, this type of combat is rather crude and primitive.
A more advanced approach is to fight using Ki Sensing, an upgraded version of energy utilization. By relying on aura to locate the opponent's position and movements, unnecessary interference in combat is eliminated. Ultimately, Earth Martial Arts have explored the mysteries of aura, overcoming the blind spots of visual observation.
However, as mentioned above, Ki Sensing is not entirely reliable. There are some life forms in the universe that have no aura at all, or that can completely conceal their energy through superpowers, such as high-level gods or some superpowered individuals. Against such opponents, Ki Sensing becomes useless.
If you can't even pinpoint your opponent's location, then relying solely on your eyesight makes you an easy target for their attack.
This requires mastering a higher level of combat style, which is what Whis is now preparing to teach Roland: to move at will in battle. This is actually a high-level Concept State is selfless, mindless, silent, and invisible, and it is at an extremely profound level.
