Battle Request

No longer dwelling on the issue of the Qi Cultivation Method's proficiency, Kairos knew it was not something that could be achieved in just a day or two.

Kairos began reviewing everything he had experienced since arriving on Earth.

Honestly, today was already the eighth day, yet no new achievements had been triggered. It was rather disappointing.

The reason he had remained at Kami's Lookout was also to try every possible method to see whether he could trigger and complete new achievements.

The result was nothing.

For now, he could only regard the Achievement System he had activated as a cultivation achievement system.

Because aside from the Epic Achievement triggered when the system was activated, everything else had been related to cultivation.

Opening the System Space, Kairos once again checked the description of the Intermediate Custom Training Suit.

Other than its basic transformation function remaining unchanged, the Intermediate Custom Training Suit had a minimum weight of 1,000 kilograms and a maximum of 10,000 kilograms. It greatly restricted mobility and vastly increased the difficulty of cultivation, but the training results it could achieve would be tenfold!

After several months of adaptation, Kairos had long since grown accustomed to the Basic Custom Training Suit.

So, the arrival of this Intermediate Custom Training Suit could be said to have come at just the right time.

By increasing the difficulty of his cultivation, the rewards from his future training would be tenfold!

The gap between twofold and tenfold was still enormous.

[Next, it was time for me to leave Kami's Lookout and take a walk on the ground. But before I go, there is still one thing I need to do. I also need to verify my current strength.] Pulling his thoughts back, Kairos thought to himself.

He had already stayed at Kami's Lookout long enough, and he had long been unable to wait any longer.

If he had not felt that he was about to break through these past two days, Kairos would have wanted to go down and see how far Earth's major cities had developed in this era.

Looking up at Kami Piccolo and Mr. Popo, who were watching him anxiously from not far away, Kairos's lips curled slightly upward.

"Looks like I made too much of a commotion and scared you two." As he spoke, Kairos took a step forward.

In what seemed like an instant, he crossed the distance between them.

Kami Piccolo and Mr. Popo were even more stunned.

Controlling his aura and unleashing his speed so naturally and freely that even their senses lagged half a beat behind—clearly, Kairos's strength had risen to another level.

"Congratulations. Your strength has made another breakthrough," Kami Piccolo said.

Kairos nodded lightly. "I also have to thank you and Mr. Popo for your guidance. Otherwise, breaking through would not have been so easy for me."

He did not deny their contributions, nor did he think himself all that remarkable.

To be honest, when it came to insight into qi cultivation, even though Kairos had now reached the proficient level, he was still inferior to them.

After all, they had cultivated for centuries. Although their strength was limited by their outlook and their battle power was only a little over two hundred, their own realm was not something that could be expressed by battle power alone.

"Actually, we did not help much. In terms of strength, we are far inferior to you. On the contrary, it was your guidance that broadened our horizons and improved our own strength considerably," Kami Piccolo said, thanking Kairos in return.

Hearing that, Kairos merely smiled and did not respond.

He knew what Kami Piccolo meant.

One exchange of pleasantries was enough.

So Kairos directly stated his intention to leave Kami's Lookout.

Upon learning that Kairos was going down to the ground, Kami Piccolo and Mr. Popo were clearly not surprised. They agreed with his decision.

They understood that Kairos was not someone they could restrain, nor would he be manipulated by them.

They could not stop him, and they would not try to stop him.

Speaking of which, during the first two days after Kairos had arrived on Earth, Kami Piccolo and Mr. Popo had worried greatly and considered countless possibilities.

But after truly interacting with him, they discovered that Kairos was not only an exceptionally upright child, completely free of hypocrisy or pretense, but also impeccable in the way he treated others.

In summary, Kairos possessed very sound values! Values they both approved of!

Thus, they gradually went from thinking about how to stop Kairos from going down to the ground to believing that he ought to go down and see it for himself.

This was also something Kairos had to experience if he wished to integrate into Earth.

Kami Piccolo still had his own little scheme in mind.

He wanted Kairos to experience the warmth and coldness of human relationships on Earth. When the time was right, he would use certain plans to make Kairos develop a sense of belonging toward Earth.

In the end, Kairos would choose, like him, to become Earth's Kami and protect the planet.

Mr. Popo also agreed after learning of this.

In their private conversations, Mr. Popo had expressed his views on Kairos more than once.

As the saying went, sincerity could be exchanged for sincerity. It worked.

Of course, Kairos would not know about Kami Piccolo and Mr. Popo's plans.

Even if he did know, he would not accept becoming Earth's Kami.

"Before I leave, I actually have one more request. I hope you can agree to it," Kairos said after expressing his intentions.

"Please, speak freely." Though curious, Kami Piccolo remained composed on the surface.

"I'd like to ask you and Mr. Popo to fight me with everything you have—not a simple spar, but a real fight. I'll suppress my strength to the same level as yours," Kairos said.

The request for such a match caught both Kami Piccolo and Mr. Popo off guard.

Even if Kairos suppressed his power to the same level as theirs, the strong were strong and the weak were weak...

They were never on the same level to begin with. What meaning could a battle like this have?

"I need to refine my Combat Method, and I also want to see the various techniques and methods you've mastered. If possible, I'd like to use them as references to develop my own Special Move! It's true that, in terms of combat power, you're both much weaker than I am. But as I've said before, in the cultivation of ki and your understanding of martial arts, you far surpass me. You're worth learning from," Kairos added.

With those words, he laid his intentions completely bare.

Kami Piccolo and Mr. Popo exchanged a glance.

Over the past few days, they had also noticed that although Kairos appeared to be merely a ten-year-old child, his thirst for strength was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Whenever he wasn't training, he was training.

In Earth terms, he was a thoroughgoing Martial Arts Fanatic.

"All right. Since you've put it that way, we'll do our best and have a proper fight with you," Kami Piccolo said.

Receiving that answer, Kairos smiled and nodded.

His purpose was indeed as he had said, but there was actually another reason.

As important characters from the original story, he wondered whether defeating Kami Piccolo and Mr. Popo would trigger a system achievement.

After all, according to the usual achievement-task formula in games, defeating so-and-so counted as an achievement too.
