Shocking the Entire Audience! A Different Era

Traveling at a hundred times the speed of sound, he reached a velocity of over 30,000 meters per second.

In just a minute and a half, Lin Chuan had crossed thousands of kilometers and arrived at his destination.

At this very moment, from the time he landed on Earth until now, Lin Chuan's combat power level had reached 16,680 points.

From 15,000 points to the current 16,680, he had gained a full 1,680 points. This had taken 1,680 seconds, which was exactly 28 minutes.

In such a short time, even if his strength only increased bit by bit, this continuous accumulation of power over a short period made Lin Chuan feel an incomparable sense of satisfaction in both body and mind.

When he first activated the system, he hadn't felt it concretely, but by now, Lin Chuan had truly experienced the rapid rise in his strength.

Even though it seemed like an increase of only 1,680 points—not even reaching 2,000—for a warrior at his level, this was enough to easily distinguish between the strong and the weak.

At the very least, Lin Chuan could be certain that he could now completely defeat the version of himself that hadn't yet arrived on Earth, and he could do so with absolute ease.

Meanwhile.

On the ground.

Originally, the battle situation had been extremely unstable.

The advantage they had worked so hard to create had been reversed the first time due to Son Goku's carelessness and mercy.

The second time they created an opportunity, it was missed because of concerns for Son Gohan.

Now, it was the third time...

It was hard to imagine that four-year-old Son Gohan had erupted with unparalleled combat power, heavily wounding Raditz with a single blow.

Now was the moment to reverse the situation once again.

However, a person wearing the same attire as Raditz had suddenly appeared in the sky.

This person made such an overbearing and sudden entrance; his speed was so fast that it shook the void, which was truly terrifying.

Now standing in the void, he exuded an extremely horrifying aura from head to toe.

He was far more terrifying than Raditz.

"Ha... hahaha! Hahahaha! Kakarot, you guys are finished!"

"It seems I wasn't the only one who came to Earth..."

"Your planet was already targeted by the Frieza Force... Don't say I didn't warn you, this guy's combat power should be far above mine. You are all going to die!"

Raditz was held from behind by Son Goku, and because he had been struck by Son Gohan's lethal headbutt just moments before, he was unable to break free in the short term.

Originally, he had been fearful, because that guy named Piccolo was currently gathering that technique capable of killing him.

Once that attack succeeded, he would die on Earth.

Talk about perfect timing!

Even though he didn't know the newcomer's identity or purpose, the fact that they were wearing Frieza Force battle armor meant they belonged to the same military faction.

Raditz could never have known that he was being far too arrogant, and his imagination was running a bit too wild.

Even if they were wearing Frieza Force battle armor, who could guarantee that only the Frieza Force wore such things?

Son Goku could no longer hold on. He had no choice but to cast everything else aside, shouting desperately at Piccolo: "Hurry up and do it, Piccolo! I can't hold him much longer!"

"Regardless of whether this new guy is a friend or a foe, the only way to deal with anything else is to take out my older brother first..."

As he said this, Son Goku coughed up blood due to the injuries covering his body.

Son Goku was simple-minded, and his thoughts were straightforward, but it had to be said that whenever a critical moment arrived, he could always make a decision.

Thrown into a panic by this, the sense of luck that had just sprouted in Raditz was crushed, and he immediately grew flustered: "Stop joking around, Kakarot! Are you trying to take me down with you?! Damn it, even if you want to die, don't drag me down as a cushion! Haven't you realized the situation yet? Your Earth is already finished!!!"

"Heh, hehehe! So you're finally afraid. That's right, I am going to take you down with me!"

Devoid of any brotherly affection, Son Goku didn't care about anything else now.

This had been set in stone the moment Raditz laid a hand on Son Gohan.

If he hadn't touched Son Gohan, Son Goku might have still thought he could persuade this so-called older brother of his to lay down his blade.

"What are you waiting for, Piccolo!!!" Gritting his teeth, Son Goku felt the force Raditz was exerting grow stronger and stronger; he was already pushing past his own limits.

After all, with his current strength, he was far too outclassed by Raditz.

Even in his prime, it would have been difficult for him to pin Raditz down.

He was anxious, urging him on.

But he didn't know that on the other side, Piccolo was having a very hard time.

Son Goku was naive and simple; how could he possibly know what Piccolo was feeling right now?

That surge of energy that had suddenly appeared, tearing through the air, felt like a planet pressing down on him, rendering him unable to move.

The energy within his body was already unstable, and even though he had pushed past his limits to gather it for the Special Beam Cannon, it had been completely disrupted under these circumstances.

Even though the technique remained intact and hadn't dissipated, his combat power level had already shattered its original limits.

However, he remained frozen in place, unable to move a muscle.

Cold sweat poured down his body as Piccolo gritted his teeth.

Such a perfect opportunity, yet he could only let it slip away.

He felt a deep sense of resentment; if Son Goku hadn't let go of Raditz's tail earlier, Raditz would already be dead.

The situation would not have turned out like this.

Nearby, the timid Son Gohan was trembling, sobbing incessantly.

In such a situation, Piccolo felt even more agitated.

His breathing grew heavier as he watched the man in the air gradually descend, finally touching down on the ground.

The gaze directed straight at him nearly caused him to lose his composure.

Too terrifying!

"The combat power exceeded the previous threshold, reaching 1480. A remarkable technique; not only does it push one's own power to the absolute limit, but it also grants the move enough lethality to kill opponents of a higher level." As these words of evaluation were spoken, Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes, feeling quite interested in experiencing Piccolo's ultimate move.

Special Beam Cannon—this ultimate move, which first shone brilliantly in the early chapters of the grand universe, was so stunning when first seen back then.

It could be said that the Z Fighters in the early days were actually quite brilliant.

All sorts of techniques emerged one after another...

It was just that, in the end, they were all submerged in the tide of history.

The early Z Fighters relied on their own unique methods, each possessing their own distinct characteristics.

Later on, when their strength could no longer keep up, they ended up following a development path focused primarily on raw power.

As long as the power was sufficient, techniques were slowly cast aside.

Son Goku used either Kaioken or Kamehameha; while the Turtle School fighting style was naturally present, it became monotonous.

The others were the same—Vegeta, Son Gohan, Piccolo—none of them would easily innovate again...

This didn't change even slightly until the Majin Buu arc, and even then, only with the two youngsters.

And after the arrival of the Super era, especially with Son Goku and Vegeta leading the way, they began to pay attention to the evolution of techniques again, choosing to accept new things in order to break through to new realms.

"Who... who are you?"

Having finally managed to force out those words, Piccolo was already drenched in sweat.
