Random Skill Draw

The instant his words fell, Kairos moved like a cannonball leaving the barrel, closing in on Mr. Popo.

Unlike his previous attacks, this time, every move and technique displayed far greater mastery over ki.

His attacks were fierce as thunder, his movements nimble as the wind, and his techniques unpredictable.

Before, he had deliberately imitated Mr. Popo's fighting style in order to learn from his strengths.

Now, he was integrating it into his own fighting methods, constantly testing adjustments and refining how he exerted force to maximize his combat power.

To put it simply, Kairos was like an enormous sponge.

He could absorb others' strengths and incorporate them into himself, while also making his own adjustments, allowing himself to grow stronger in a short time.

Faced with Kairos's relentless assault, Mr. Popo had initially handled it with ease. But as Kairos's rhythm grew smoother and his speed increased, he gradually began to struggle.

In the end, Kairos still held the advantage in sheer physical ability. Though he was only ten years old, his true strength was right there.

In terms of stamina alone, this kind of battle could not possibly exhaust Kairos.

Even if he did become exhausted, he would recover in the next instant.

Mr. Popo was different. His current power level had only just surpassed 200, and his stamina was limited. In a prolonged fight, he would naturally fall behind bit by bit.

Boom!!!

A dull impact rang out.

Kairos's final punch did not land. It stopped just before Mr. Popo's face.

Mr. Popo was drenched in cold sweat. He had been forced into a state where he could no longer fight back.

Had that punch landed, he would have suffered no minor injury.

His ki had become disordered, and he had been completely suppressed. Mr. Popo also realized that there was no need to continue this battle.

"Mr. Popo, let's stop here." Kairos's voice was gentle, but his tone allowed no doubt.

Seeing Kairos smile as he withdrew his fist, Mr. Popo let out a breath of relief. He reined in his scattered ki and said, "Mr. Popo has lost. Not only is your fighting talent remarkable, but your learning ability is something Mr. Popo has never seen before."

"You let me win." Kairos nodded in acknowledgment. Just as he was about to turn his attention toward Kami Piccolo, the system prompt sounded the next second.

[Ding!!!]

[Congratulations, Host, on successfully defeating Attendant of Earth's Guardian: Mr. Popo.]

[Advanced Achievement: Defeat Mr. Popo achieved!]

[Reward obtained: Power level increased by 100 points! One random beginner-level skill draw! The draw chance has been stored in the System Space and may be used at any time!]

[Ding!!!]

[Congratulations, Host, on completing your First Battle.]

[Advanced Achievement: First Battle achieved!]

[Reward obtained: Power level increased by 100 points! One random beginner-level skill draw! The draw chance has been stored in the System Space and may be used at any time!]

The two consecutive achievement notifications filled Kairos with excitement.

At last, he had triggered new achievements.

Just as he had expected, defeating certain people—especially significant characters who had appeared in the original story—could trigger and complete achievements.

He had originally thought that merely defeating Mr. Popo might trigger an achievement.

He had not expected to trigger two achievements at once. Even his First Battle counted.

He opened the System Space interface and checked the details.

It may only be beginner-level proficiency, but it includes every skill in the Dragon Ball world. Could I directly draw Ultra Instinct?

He did not draw immediately, because now was not the time.

Coming back to himself, he turned his bright gaze toward Kami Piccolo.

Right now, in Kairos's eyes, Kami Piccolo was a glowing achievement!

As long as he defeated him, he could complete another Advanced Achievement. A 100-point power level increase was hardly worth mentioning, but if the reward was another skill draw chance, then he had to obtain it.

After that, he would also need to seek out Korin, Master Roshi, Master Shen... the strongest fighters on Earth, and battle them.

After noticing Kairos's eager gaze, Kami Piccolo knew he could not avoid this. He took the initiative to step forward and said:

"You have truly opened my eyes. I know Mr. Popo's strength very well. His accomplishments in ki cultivation are already considerable, and he has made progress over the past few days as well. Yet you not only learned his essence with ease, you even turned it against him and won so easily... Next, this old man will risk his life to fight you and see how much you can learn from me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kami Piccolo handed Kami's Staff to Mr. Popo.

Mr. Popo was actually somewhat worried.

After all, Kami Piccolo had not fought anyone for many years, and he was now old. Engaging in a battle of this intensity in such a state could harm his very foundation if he was not careful.

Even though Senzu Beans could heal and restore him, they could not recover damage to one's foundation, such as a reduction in lifespan.

Seeing Kami Piccolo assume a fighting stance, Kairos still politely asked, "Guardian of Earth, don't you need to loosen up and warm up first?"

After his battle with Mr. Popo, Kairos had already warmed up.

"No need. I have also done some simple training these past few days, so my body is not too stiff. Besides, my fighting method will differ from yours. Once you experience it, you will understand," Kami Piccolo replied.

"Good! Then let's begin!" With Kami Piccolo's words, Kairos made his preparations as well.

Recalling the original story, Kami Piccolo had only a few fighting scenes.

The first was when he participated in the World Martial Arts Tournament. His performance there had been fairly well-rounded.

The rest were mostly brief appearances in the movie timeline, but none of them were particularly outstanding.

What was worth paying attention to was his ki cultivation. At the very least, Kami Piccolo's realm was certainly no lower than proficient.

Their eyes met, and the scene became exceptionally quiet.

Mr. Popo had already retreated beyond the arena.

As a breeze swept past, Kami Piccolo's gaze sharpened, and his aura abruptly changed.

Kairos sensed the change in his ki. The next instant, as if he had detected danger, he suddenly twisted his body aside.

Whoosh!!!

Two Heat Rays burst from Kami Piccolo's eyes, passing almost close enough to graze his shoulder.

Had he been 0.1 seconds slower, his shoulder might have been pierced through!

Before Kairos could react with surprise, danger struck again. Kami Piccolo had somehow moved before him, both hands held against his chest.

Ha~~!!!

A muffled shout rang out.

A terrifying blast of ki erupted. Kairos felt as though an endless current of air was pressing against him, making it impossible for him to keep his footing.

After being blasted back more than ten meters, Kairos held his breath and forcibly landed, then slid several more meters backward before finally reining in his ki and steadying himself.

This was Kami Piccolo's strength.

He had indeed underestimated him.
