Mu Chuan vs. Slug!

"I was wondering why it felt so strange, and why it seemed so familiar!"

"So it was memories from my past life..."

"Isn't this just the Namekians? Those guys and the so-called modules King Piccolo spat out look like they were made from the exact same mold."

"This might be a skill exclusive to the Namekians!"

Mu Chuan still found time to make a sarcastic remark. Even if he thought the skill was somewhat useful, he was strongly opposed to it.

Who could put up with that?

He certainly couldn't.

After making his remark, he finally took a proper look at Slug and quickly recalled what he knew about him.

Then he suddenly got excited.

This seemed to be the most suitable opponent for him right now!

An evil Super Namekian!

He possessed an incredibly terrifying level of power, but as he had gradually grown old, he was no longer in his former condition, and his battle power had naturally declined.

Even so, he had several million in battle power in his normal state. What's more, Slug could grow giant, and once he did, his power would increase tenfold, just like a Saiyan turning into a Great Ape.

After reviewing what he knew about Slug,

Mu Chuan grew even more confident. Although he wasn't completely sure he could win, he knew that, with his current battle power, he was no weaker than his opponent!

And his opponent wasn't even in his prime.

He'd make a perfect whetstone.

The other Saiyans had all trained against the Armored Squadron, but Mu Chuan's battle power was relatively high, so he hadn't had a suitable opponent.

Either they were too strong, or they weren't even worth a bite.

Now... Slug's arrival was just right!

"This is getting interesting... I'm already getting excited."

Mu Chuan could barely hold back his smile.

In the distance, Slug had just stepped down from his spaceship. He had no idea what Mu Chuan was thinking. As he slowly came down, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from him.

It surged forth without restraint.

The entire planet began to tremble.

Then his aged voice rang out.

"Warrior traveling through the cosmos! I, King Slug of the Demon Clan, can see that you have considerable strength. How about becoming my subordinate?"

"I will lead you to rule the entire universe. You'll have anything you want: power, status, strength, immortality... You can have it all."

"Well?"

To recruit powerful subordinates, one first had to be strong oneself.

So Slug showed off his terrifying aura right away, displaying his battle power of several million to the fullest.

Mu Chuan was slightly taken aback. He'd been wondering why Slug had forced him to stop.

Was this the reason?

"What's wrong with these guys? As soon as they see someone who's even a little strong, they want to recruit them as subordinates."

"No wonder every one of them wants to become Emperor of the Universe. They all have the same problem!"

He couldn't help making another sarcastic remark. Frieza and the others were exactly the same; they all had this habit.

At first, he'd been puzzled.

He had no direct or indirect grudge against Slug. Even if Slug was a Super Namekian, what did that have to do with him?

He hadn't expected that Slug wanted to recruit him as a subordinate!

That explained it...

But once he understood, a trace of mockery gradually appeared on his face.

"You?"

"Your withered body probably can't hold out much longer, can it?"

"You're practically on your deathbed, and you still want to rule the universe? Aren't you a Namekian? Why don't you go play with your water instead of playing at ruling the universe with me?"

"You must be dreaming!"

Mu Chuan went straight for the jugular. He didn't care what Slug thought of it. He didn't have to go along with his plans.

Besides, Slug was a perfect whetstone. Mu Chuan didn't want to let him go so easily.

Slug's face filled with fury.

The aliens around him were furious too.

Hadn't Mu Chuan insulted them all as well?

But just as they were fuming, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

Who else could it be but Mu Chuan?

Mu Chuan couldn't be bothered with this bunch of loudmouths. If they couldn't be civil, he might as well attack!

Boom!

He held a huge energy blast in each hand and detonated them right in front of Slug.

All the aliens present were instantly reduced to ashes. Even Slug's most capable subordinates were killed on the spot, caught completely off guard!

The spaceship was blasted open as well.

Slug, however, escaped unharmed.

Regardless of whether an attack like that could hurt him, he was still a terrifying Super Namekian with several million in battle power. How could he be defeated so easily?

But now, as he looked at all his subordinates, completely wiped out, and at the spaceship that had been destroyed,

his already grim expression...

turned utterly black.

An even more terrifying wave of energy poured from his body.

Slug glared at Mu Chuan, gritting his teeth.

"You piece of trash!"

"How dare you kill all my subordinates! I'll never forgive you!"

"Now that the spaceship is destroyed, it seems only one of us will leave this planet alive."

"Are you prepared to die?"

Slug's muscles slowly swelled, and his features began to regain some of their former vitality. He no longer looked quite so old.

But he was merely forcing himself back to his peak battle power. The truth was, he was already truly old. His prime was long gone, and he could only maintain his peak strength for a while.

And...

not for very long.

But while Slug was speaking, Mu Chuan immediately unleashed his Great Ape Power, and red energy engulfed his entire body.

His battle power soared instantly...

His base battle power had already reached 1.5 million.

With Great Ape Power, his battle power reached 15 million!

That was a terrifying level of power. The entire planet trembled, and even the waters below briefly parted, leaving a vacuum.

He didn't want to waste time, or play some turn-based game. He went straight into his optimal state!

In a flash,

before Slug could react, Mu Chuan slammed a kick into him, then unleashed a barrage of energy blasts.

It was as if he intended to destroy the entire planet along with Slug.

His attacks were incredibly fast.

But Slug was no slowpoke either. Though he'd been caught off guard, he reacted quickly, sweeping both arms across and batting away every energy blast.

His expression shifted repeatedly. He was furious!

Mu Chuan had no sense of honor. He'd attacked the moment Slug started talking, ambushing him every time he spoke!

The first time, Mu Chuan had killed his subordinates and destroyed his spaceship. The second time, he'd landed a kick and bombarded him with countless energy blasts.

This was unforgivable!
