[Host: Lin Chuan] [Age: 25] [Height: 185CM/Weight: 85KG] [Battle Power Index: 1,000,025.] [Current System Level: Level 1.] [Auto-training: Battle Power +1/second...]

Watching his battle power stats, Lin Chuan couldn't suppress his excitement.

"Is this what it feels like to surpass a battle power of one million?!"

"Compared to now, even a difference of just ten thousand battle power would have seemed like an insurmountable chasm before."

The sudden surge of power inside him was too much to contain. Lin Chuan used the Flight Technique and shot straight into the sky.

He broke through the atmosphere and left Earth!

Then he headed straight for the moon!

Lin Chuan had long been capable of reaching speeds hundreds of times the speed of sound.

At full speed, a hundred kilometers per second was no problem!

As he traveled through Cosmic Space, even the meteors in his way were blasted to pieces by his overwhelming force.

It was as if he meant to destroy everything that stood in his path.

In barely half an hour, Lin Chuan had crossed the distance between Earth and the moon and arrived on its surface.

His speed was astonishing. Forget keeping up with the naked eye—even sensing him would have been difficult.

In the Dragon Ball world, the distance between Earth and the moon wasn't as great as the 389,000 kilometers in his previous world, but it was still 200,000 kilometers.

He stood on the moon's crater-pocked surface.

Honestly, it was hard to believe.

He'd never imagined that one day he'd be standing on the moon like this.

Before, he'd thought the moon had suffered more than its share of misfortune. Master Roshi had destroyed it in the past, and after Kami had finally repaired it, Piccolo had completely obliterated it a few years later.

There was one thing Lin Chuan had always been curious about: why did the moon's disappearance in the Dragon Ball world have almost no effect on Earth?

After all, as Earth's only satellite, the moon's gravitational influence on the tides couldn't be ignored.

Even in the Dragon Ball world, surely it would be the same.

If the moon were gone, Earth's tides would definitely change dramatically.

Otherwise, Kami wouldn't have later used his authority to restore the moon.

It was easy to imagine that natural disasters would be inevitable. Without the moon's pull, Earth's crust would shift, and the entire ecological balance would be thrown into chaos...

In other words, destroying the moon was like destroying the world—not directly, but by flipping the switch on a slow-motion self-destruct.

If anyone insisted that the moon had no effect on Earth in the Dragon Ball world, Lin Chuan would sooner believe that Earth had avoided major consequences because Kami Piccolo was there to protect it.

And the reason Kami Piccolo never restored the moon again was probably that he knew it was the key to the Saiyans' transformations.

"Forget it. Why think so much? None of that matters to me."

"Now that I'm here, I can finally let loose."

"It's been too long since I've gone all out!"

Lin Chuan muttered to himself.

Thanks to the ability Shenron had granted him, he could speak here as naturally as anywhere else.

He'd come to the moon to unleash everything at once and truly feel how powerful he'd become.

Ever since he'd arrived on Earth and activated the system, his strength had been increasing every moment. He could clearly feel it, but he'd never truly let it out.

Now that his battle power had reached one million, the difference brought by crossing an entire realm left him eager to find out just how strong he was.

He still wasn't as strong as Frieza after his first transformation, but surpassing one million meant he'd truly entered an entirely new realm.

At last, Lin Chuan could understand why Frieza in the Original Work had said that once he transformed, the Z Fighters would have to face a truly terrifying version of him.

A battle power of several hundred thousand and one exceeding a million couldn't even be compared on the same scale.

He gazed at Earth, glowing a brilliant blue, and focused all his attention.

"Haah~~!!!"

A low shout burst from Lin Chuan's mouth.

In an instant, an invisible pressure expanded at astonishing speed, enveloping the entire moon in moments.

His ki kept rising, surging higher and higher.

The sheer pressure made the moon tremble, even setting countless nearby meteor fragments and lunar rocks in motion.

Those nearby floated off the moon's surface under the pressure, and most of them exploded into powder and dust.

Those farther away began to circle and sway with his aura, colliding with one another through space.

Lin Chuan paid none of it any mind. He planted his feet firmly and continued drawing out the energy inside him, spreading it throughout his body.

A snowy white glow appeared on the surface of his body.

Ten percent power...

Thirty percent power...

Seventy percent power...

At last, he reached ninety-nine percent!

"Haahhhh~~!!!!" His long roar sounded like a release of everything he'd been holding in.

The next moment, his aura erupted, forming a whirlwind around him. It burned like a snowy white flame, strikingly bright.

At the same time, his energy burst had stabilized completely. The moon stopped trembling, and the rock fragments suspended in the air fell back down.

Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes.

His body slowly rose into the air, leaving the lunar surface. Then he spotted a nearby meteorite of immense size.

"BOOM!!!"

The space around him exploded.

It wasn't sound traveling through the air, but a shockwave created by the distortion of space.

He threw a punch from a hundred meters away!

An invisible fist of ki, like a shockwave, slammed into a meteorite thousands of meters in diameter.

"BANG!!!!!!!"

In an instant, the meteorite shattered under the impact of that terrifying force, scattering in every direction.

"Even this isn't enough to clearly define my current level of power."

The biggest problem for Lin Chuan was that he lacked an opponent.

Without an opponent, even knowing he was strong wouldn't tell him what level he'd actually reached.

He could say that he now felt an overwhelming desire to fight.

He wanted the story to move forward quickly, so he could face Frieza sooner.

After all, in this era, Frieza was his first target—and the one he had to surpass in the near future.

"In the end, I'll have to use a clone as my opponent." Muttering to himself, Lin Chuan used his technique.

Clone!

This was naturally a skill he'd developed on Planet V3114.

He'd also learned it from the Z Fighters in the Original Work.

But while the Z Fighters called it the Multi-Form Technique, for Lin Chuan it was simply a cloning technique.

Compared to Piccolo's Demon Clone, it probably wasn't all that different.

Over the years, this had been Lin Chuan's only way to ease his boredom and loneliness.

It was also one of the ways he gained Combat Experience.
