Universe 7, Beerus's Planet.
Whis is training Goku and Vegeta.
Now it's Vegeta's turn. He's launching a fierce attack on Whis, Whis, sensing his improvement, can't help but praise him.
"Very good, Mr. Vegeta, there are far fewer unnecessary movements."
Vegeta roared and punched Whis in the face.
Whis's expression froze, then his body went intangible, leaving Vegeta with nothing to show for it.
The next instant, Whis appeared behind Vegeta and delivered a chop to his Vegeta.
Vegeta's ears twitched slightly. Instead of attacking behind him, he threw a punch to his front and side.
"Here!"
Even though he guessed correctly, Whis simply raised his hand and blocked Vegeta's fist.
"Wow, you guessed right, Mr. Vegeta!"
Vegeta said, "Who said I was guessing?"
Whis laughed, "Oh wow, so you figured it out. Your progress is truly astonishing!"
Vegeta scoffed, "Hmph, I don't need your praise. Continue!"
After saying that, Vegeta launched another fierce attack on Whis.
Watching the two sparring from below, Goku was completely clueless for a moment.
He learned from others and felt that he was just as powerful as Vegeta.
But Whis is too powerful. Even after Vegeta and learning from Whis for so long, he still couldn't figure out Whis's methods.
Not far away, Beerus watched with his eyes drooping, yawned and said, "Ugh, such a low-level battle, it's making me sleepy."
No, I can't hold on any longer, I need to go back to sleep.
Beerus had only taken two steps when Goku's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Um, Lord Beerus!"
Beerus stopped in his tracks and lazily turned his head.
What are you doing?
Goku humbly asked, "Exactly, I'd like to ask, how did Lord Beerus train back then?"
Training with Whis seems too difficult.
The moment the question was asked, Vegeta, who was sparring with Whis, stopped in his Vegeta.
Unlike Goku, he didn't ask about everything, but he also longed to know.
Whis also stopped sparring with him.
Beerus raised an eyebrow and said, "You're asking me how I cultivated?"
Goku nodded vigorously. "Yes, can you tell us?"
Beerus sneered, "It's not that you can't, it's just that your current level is still far from where I started."
Goku exclaimed in surprise, "Really? You were already this strong before you trained with Whis?"
Beerus said, "Of course, you two are still far from being as good as I was back then!"
Just ask what you specifically want to know.
Goku said, "The things Whis taught us, that Ultra Instinct, I can occasionally enter that state for a moment, but I can't grasp the essentials at all, so it's completely unusable in combat."
Vegeta even worse; he never even entered that state.
Vegeta's face darkened, and he said, " Kakarot, don't mention me!!"
While Goku was speaking, Beerus picked up an apple from the table next to him and took a bite out of it.
After Goku finished speaking, Beerus said, "Have you ever thought that Ultra Instinct isn't actually a technique?"
Goku and Vegeta were both taken aback.
"Not a single move?"
Beerus said, "The various parts of the body can react automatically without the brain's commands. Goku, let me ask you, what are you thinking when you enter that state?"
Goku thought about it carefully for a moment and said, "Hmm... I don't think I was thinking about anything."
Beerus smiled slightly and said, "That's right."
You didn't think about anything, your body just moved on its own.
But as soon as you realized I was using Ultra Instinct, you immediately withdrew, didn't you?"
Goku's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, that's it! I thought I hadn't practiced enough!"
Beerus pointed out, "Insufficient training is one thing, but going in the wrong direction is another."
It seemed that Beerus was about to impart his true skills, and Vegeta and Goku both looked at Beerus with solemn expressions.
Beerus explained, "You're wrong to think of this as a technique that needs to be used deliberately."
True Ultra Instinct is essentially about abandoning thought.
This is not a skill, but a mental cultivation, which cannot be achieved overnight.
Vegeta frowned and asked, "Do you abandon thinking during battle and not think about anything?"
Beerus nodded. "Probably!"
Vegeta retorted, "Easy for you to say. How can you not think about anything during a battle?"
Beerus laughed, "So, you're no good, Vegeta."
Vegeta felt mocked and immediately clenched his fists in anger.
"So, how can we do that?"
Beerus chuckled, "Hehe, don't be angry, I didn't mean to mock you."
What I mean is that Ultra Instinct requires a calm and peaceful mind, and your personality is a bit fiery, so you're not suited for this path.
Vegeta vaguely understood, and a look of realization appeared on his face.
Beerus continued, "Your mind is always analyzing, calculating, and thinking about how to defeat your opponent."
"For someone with your personality to practice Ultra Instinct is like asking a fish to learn to climb a tree—it's too difficult and not suitable for you."
Vegeta's pupils dilated.
"I see----"
Suddenly, Beerus changed the subject, saying, "Actually, you can still be very powerful even if you don't Ultra Instinct. There's more than one kind of Divine Technique in this world."
Goku and Vegeta's expressions lit up, with Vegeta showing more interest.
Son Goku asked curiously, " Lord Beerus, you don't seem to have used Ultra Instinct, have you?"
Beerus sneered, "That's right, my Ultra Instinct is also very crude. After all, that kind of technique requires a calm mind to use well. I practiced it for many years before I found it wasn't suitable for me, so I gave up."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Even Lord Beerus has given up on training Ultra Instinct, so it must be quite difficult.
Whis suddenly laughed and said, "Oh dear, Lord Beerus is finally willing to share his experience."
Beerus glared at him. "Shut up, I just can't stand watching them."
These two have been running around like headless flies all these days. If they can't compare to Son Mirai, who is training with Vados, it will only make us both lose face."
Whis covered his mouth and laughed, "Oh ho ho ho, yeah, you're right, you're right."
My sister definitely wants her disciple to defeat mine so she can seem more impressive. Looks like I need to work harder.
Beerus continued, "According to my analysis, the reason why Son Goku can occasionally touch the threshold of Ultra Instinct is because he is simple-minded and naturally prone to not thinking about anything."
But Vegeta, you are different. Your fighting instinct is to conquer through your own strength, and this has become a habitual way of thinking over the years.
Forcing yourself to learn the elegant style of dodging will only be counterproductive for you.
Vegeta received a sudden enlightenment.
"Are there any other techniques that can rival Ultra Instinct?"
