Journey to Universe 6

Three months later, Whis arrived at the Destruction Space to notify Ye Ming and the others that it was time to head to Universe 6.

At this moment, everyone in the Destruction Space heard Whis's voice and ceased their training, though they couldn't help but feel a tinge of nostalgia for the rapid pace of their progress.

Son Gohan was the first to emerge. His clothes were tattered, a testament to his intense training, and his gaze was no longer as soft as before, but sharp and piercing, reminiscent of his peak form.

He had now mastered the Super Saiyan Blue Evolved transformation, though unfortunately, he had not yet perfectly integrated his Mystic Form into it.

There wasn't enough time, which is a pity. I suppose I'll have to wait until we return from Universe 6 to complete it, Son Gohan thought to himself.

The second to emerge was Vegeta. He also looked somewhat disheveled, but a faint smirk played on his lips. He had chosen not to focus on the Super Saiyan Blue Evolved transformation, but rather to carefully study the nature of Hakai Energy.

Vegeta had now gained a preliminary grasp of Hakai Energy and could achieve a basic Hakai Form, though it was not yet perfect and could only serve as his trump card.

The third to emerge was Son Goku. It was clear he had also gained a great deal; he had been training in the Gravity Chamber, and while delving into the Super Saiyan Blue Evolved transformation, he had also been enhancing his physical strength.

Otherwise, using the Kaioken simultaneously with his Super Saiyan God form would have severely torn his muscles and caused immense damage to his body—he was not like Ye Ming, who only consumed stamina.

Son Goku clenched his fists, a confident smile appearing on his face. He had mastered the Super Saiyan Blue Evolved form and could now push his Kaioken up to 30 times, significantly boosting his strength.

Finally, it was Ye Ming's turn. A smile appeared on his face as well; after communicating with the system, he had attempted to fuse his God form with his Super Saiyan 4.

Clearly, his continuous training and the tempering of his will over these three months had paid off. On the third-to-last day, he had finally achieved what he had set out to do: the perfect fusion of his God form and his Super Saiyan 4.

The system's help had been indispensable, as it had guided him throughout, allowing Ye Ming to learn how to control the fusion of Godly Ki and mortal ki in such a short time.

The System is truly worthy of the title "Boss"! If even the slightest error had occurred, I would have "bloomed" on the spot—only I know how dangerous that process was.

Seeing Ye Ming walk out, Son Goku and the others took a moment to observe him. His aura had become even more unfathomable, and they couldn't help but feel that the gap in their strength was becoming increasingly apparent.

Ye Ming looked at Son Goku and the others and said, "You have all made great progress. I assume you've all mastered the Super Saiyan Blue Evolved form, and Son Goku, your physical body has improved quite a bit."

Vegeta crossed his arms and chose not to explain; once they reached the arena, they would naturally find out.

Watching the group's confident demeanor, Whis was also pleased. Their chances of winning the contest between their universe and Universe 6 were now much higher.

With a wave of his hand, Whis replaced their tattered clothes and healed the injuries they had sustained during their training.

Beerus suddenly appeared in front of Ye Ming and the others, saying indifferently, "Hmm, not bad. Your power has indeed increased significantly; your combat strength is much higher than it was three months ago."

Of course, this remark was directed at Son Goku and the others, with Ye Ming naturally excluded.

Just then, Whis said, "Let us depart! Universe 6 is already standing by."

As he spoke, Whis waved his staff, enveloping Ye Ming and Beerus in a light, and they soared into the sky, heading toward Universe 6.

During the flight, Ye Ming and the others discussed their combat strategy. The order of battle was crucial, as was understanding the opponent's fighting style; after all, to know one's enemy is to be invincible.

There was one very strange thing: Whis could normally use his staff to read all the information about the Universe 6 contestants, but there was one person whose information he could not find no matter how he searched.

Ye Ming and Whis exchanged a glance, both realizing that an unexpected variable had emerged—this person was likely the one who had caused Ye Ming such anxiety.

Whis said calmly, "It is possible that my sister, Vados, has shielded that person's information. I can only read the data for the other three."

Ye Ming said earnestly, "It's fine, Whis. Being able to understand the information of three people is already quite good. I will handle the last person myself. No matter how strong he is, I believe I will not lose!"

"Although I felt a vague sense of crisis over these past three months, that feeling has gradually weakened after my strength broke through, which means I am capable of rivaling him."

Hearing Ye Ming's words, Whis realized that if even Ye Ming felt a sense of crisis, the opponent must be extraordinary. After all, Ye Ming had previously possessed the strength of a top-tier God of Destruction, and now he had surpassed that level!

Son Goku and the others felt a sense of gravity upon hearing the conversation between Whis and Ye Ming.

Soon, they decided on their battle order: Son Gohan would fight first, while the positions for Son Goku and Vegeta remained undecided, with Ye Ming serving as the anchor.

They had to determine the order based on the opponent's information, especially since they learned that Universe 6 had a master named Hit the Assassin, who Whis said could manipulate time—a technique called "Time Skip."

Son Goku and the others listened intently to the information Whis provided, learning about Hit's abilities and the strength of the other two contestants.

What surprised them even more was that one of the girls, named Kale, was a Legendary Super Saiyan, which left even Vegeta and the others stunned.

After all, a Legendary Super Saiyan was a once-in-a-millennium occurrence. Even Vegeta and his companions had to be cautious, feeling that these opponents were not to be underestimated.

Ye Ming also knew that Universe 6 had a female Legendary Super Saiyan named Kale. From the current situation, her ability to control her power was thanks to the guidance of a deity.

It seems that in the original anime, their strength never reached this level. It appears my arrival has caused the timeline to shift.

Ye Ming felt that his presence had accelerated the changes in the various universes, causing unknown figures and levels of power that should only have been reached in the future to manifest ahead of time.

Time passed quickly, and a brilliant light descended upon the viewing platform prepared by Universe 6 for Universe 7.

At this moment, Champa opened his small eyes and said with a smile, "You're finally here, hehe."

The warriors of Universe 7 surveyed their surroundings. Aside from the two viewing platforms and the arena, there were two massive portraits of Gods of Destruction—one of Beerus and one of Champa.

Son Goku almost laughed out loud at the sight of Beerus and Champa's portraits, but Vegeta quickly covered his mouth.

Ye Ming simply smiled and said nothing; he knew the habits of Beerus and Champa, who always liked to add a bit of flair to their appearances.

At this moment, Beerus and Champa appeared in the center of the sky above the arena, facing each other.

Beerus said, "Why are there only three people from your universe? Where is the fourth?"

Champa replied with a look of disdain, "Once you defeat the three we have here, he will naturally appear."

Veins bulged on Beerus's forehead as he frowned, ready to lose his temper at Champa.

Suddenly, he heard Ye Ming say, "Lord Beerus, it's fine. If there are only three for now, then so be it. When those three are defeated, the last one will surely appear. We are in no rush."

At this, Beerus turned back to look at Champa and said, "Hmph! You fat pig, let's see how long you can remain smug."

After saying this, Beerus flew quickly back to his own viewing stand and crossed his arms over his chest.

Champa also returned to his stand, where he whispered to Vados, "How is Son Goku's training coming along?"

"Everything is going smoothly! Lord Champa, he has already mastered the basics of the Hakai Energy training method you provided, and he is now able to stack the Hakai Form on top of his Super Saiyan 5 God state. He has been focusing on tempering his physical body during this time," Vados said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Champa felt as if victory were already within his grasp.

Although Ye Ming is strong, he shouldn't be a match for my Son Goku, he thought to himself. After all, I have seen Ye Ming's transformation; even if his strength has improved in such a short time, he should still be inferior to my Son Goku.

Three months ago, he had played the footage of the battle between Beerus and Ye Ming for AF Son Goku, who had acknowledged Ye Ming's strength and developed a great interest in him.

However, AF Son Goku had told Lord Champa, "If this is the extent of his strength, I can defeat him."

These words had put Champa's mind at ease, though he still cautioned AF Son Goku to be careful, noting that both Ye Ming and AF Son Goku hailed from outside the universe and possessed immense potential.

Thus, Champa felt very confident, yet regardless, only a fight would reveal who was truly stronger between AF Son Goku and Ye Ming.

Soon, the combat phase officially began!!
