Sparring with Goku

On the plains, two young figures stood in confrontation, both radiating powerful auras.

Goku and Li Feng both assumed fighting stances, carefully searching for openings in the other.

"Clack!"

A stone drifting down with the wind served as the horn for the battle to begin.

"Ha!" Goku took the initiative, his figure flickering as he instantly appeared before Li Feng.

Li Feng could clearly track Goku's movements, calmly using his right hand to parry.

"Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack!" Goku's attacks grew increasingly intense, his fists striking at Li Feng like a machine gun.

Li Feng checked Goku's current combat power: 800.

As expected, Goku was just like in the original story, disliking the use of his full strength at the start.

Although his own combat power reached as high as 3000, he couldn't bully the smaller opponent, and besides, this was a sparring match—a great opportunity to hone his martial arts.

Amidst the constant probing, Li Feng also raised his combat power to around 800, but due to a lack of rich combat experience, he still fell into a disadvantage.

"Heh!" Goku feigned an opening; as Li Feng attacked, his figure turned illusory, then reappeared behind Li Feng and kicked him flying.

"What move is that?"

Li Feng put some distance between them, asking in surprise.

"Heh heh, that's the Afterimage Strike! It took me a long time of fumbling around to learn it!" Goku said proudly, rubbing his nose.

"Oh? Interesting! Use it a few more times and let me see!"

Li Feng had a mind to learn this technique.

"This move isn't that easy to learn! Watch closely!"

"Swish!" Goku's figure appeared before Li Feng once more, then turned illusory, with the real attack coming from above.

"Bang!" Li Feng used his sturdy body to take the hit head-on.

This time, Li Feng no longer relied solely on his vision to observe; he also utilized his perception of ki.

Although his eyes saw that there was indeed a figure of Goku and a portion of ki in front of him, the ki he actually sensed was not in front, but above!

"Again!" Li Feng had grasped the principle behind the Afterimage Strike; a few more times and he should be able to pull it off.

"Hahaha! Here I come!" Goku was equally excited.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The two continued to trade blows, the energy from their punches roiling in the air and kicking up waves of dust.

If a scouter were testing their combat power at this moment, it would reveal that both of their power levels were constantly rising.

From 800 to 850 to 900...

"So that's how it is!"

Li Feng understood the principle of the Afterimage Strike.

In reality, the Afterimage Strike was also an application of ki.

At the moment of striking, one splits off a portion of their original ki to leave behind an afterimage, then rapidly moves to another position, making it seem as if the person suddenly appeared elsewhere.

Having understood the principle, Li Feng attempted to use it himself.

"Ha!" Goku used the Afterimage Strike again, his right fist driving straight toward Li Feng's chest.

Li Feng already knew this was Goku's afterimage, so he also used a portion of his ki to create an afterimage.

When Li Feng's afterimage struck Goku's afterimage, Goku's real figure appeared from behind Li Feng, his right elbow thrusting toward Li Feng's back.

Goku had assumed Li Feng would be hit just like before, but who would have thought this was actually Li Feng's afterimage? He struck at empty air, and subsequently, his back took a violent impact, sending him crashing directly into a small hill.

Li Feng's real body had appeared behind Goku! And he had successfully deceived him!

"To be able to use it so quickly, you really are something else!" Goku said in surprise.

"Again!"

Li Feng was even more excited, wanting to further familiarize himself with using the Afterimage Strike.

Although he had a system and his combat power would continue to soar, his practical experience and combat techniques were far from enough and needed to be well-tempered.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The two figures grew faster and faster, the sound of them breaking the sound barrier growing louder, until eventually, their figures were completely indistinguishable—nothing but afterimages filling the sky!

Unknowingly, Li Feng mastered the rhythm of the battle, and during one acceleration, Goku failed to react in time and was struck once more.

"Bang!"

A human-shaped crater appeared in the ground.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Goku emerged from the pit, covered in dirt and looking disheveled.

Goku felt very strange; at first, he thought Li Feng was an peerless master, but many of his combat techniques and practical experiences were far inferior to his own, and his fighting style was very unrefined.

What was even more astonishing was Li Feng's incredibly high talent for martial arts; he could grasp the principles of most of his moves after seeing them just once, and would master them within a few more attempts.

The battle shifted from Goku initially suppressing Li Feng, to the two being evenly matched, and finally to Li Feng gaining the upper hand!

Of course, everyone's combat power was maintained at around 900, so there was no scenario where Li Feng was suppressing Goku through brute force alone.

"Fine, if that's how it is!"

Goku made up his mind; since he had already tested the waters with hand-to-hand combat, it was time to switch to energy-based attacks.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Goku braced his right hand against the ground and used the momentum to launch himself into the air, firing several yellow energy blasts at Li Feng with his left hand.

Li Feng's perception of ki was extremely sharp, and the moment he saw Goku attacking with energy spheres, he immediately dodged.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three more craters appeared on the ground.

Goku used the Flight technique to soar into the mid-air, gathered energy spheres in both hands once more, and unleashed the Prince Trick, firing energy blasts from his hands like a machine gun!

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

Li Feng initially just dodged, but as the range became too wide, he was forced to take the hits with his body.

Seeing Li Feng appear helpless, Goku accelerated the barrage of energy blasts, hoping to defeat him right then and there.

After adapting to the rhythm, Li Feng stopped being passive, shifting from defense to a stalemate.

At first, he blocked with his arms, then he began swatting away the excess energy blasts with his hands, and finally, he even started firing back with white energy blasts of his own!

As ki flowed and condensed in his hands, Li Feng became increasingly familiar with its application, firing more energy blasts that grew faster and faster!

The scene transformed from a one-sided yellow flash machine gun to a display of flickering white starlight, and eventually, white energy shells dancing across the sky!

Goku was once again stunned by Li Feng's martial arts talent!

With a flash, Goku broke away from the battlefield and flew to a higher altitude.

"Ka!"

Goku stopped using standard energy blasts and began to charge the Kamehameha.

"Me!"

Seeing this, Li Feng simultaneously pulled his hands to his side to condense a Kamehameha of his own.

"Ha!"

Two figures, one in the sky and one on the ground, were gathering a massive amount of energy.

"Me!"

Two azure energy waves were unleashed!

The dark night was instantly illuminated!

"Ha!"

The two energy beams collided, forming a blue sphere of energy at the center that caused the very air to vibrate with its power!

"Boom!"

"Haa!"

Sweating, Goku increased his output.

This was his first time clashing beams with a member of the Son family, but he would not lose!

Li Feng's hands erupted with even greater ki, and his blue beam grew thicker and more intense!

"Push through!"

Goku let out a loud shout, exerting his full strength!

The Kamehameha from the sky instantly pressed down toward the ground!

"Counterattack!"

Li Feng also roared, exploding with his own ki!

"Boom!"

Even though Goku's energy had reached 1500, Li Feng's full-power ki was at 3000!

Li Feng's energy was still superior!

His Kamehameha pushed back, striking Goku directly!

"Thud!"

With a massive explosion, the figure in the sky fell helplessly to the ground!
