Mu Chuan VS Slug!

"I knew something felt strange; why did it feel so familiar!"

"So, these are memories from my past life..."

"Aren't these Namekians? Those guys and the so-called modules spat out by King Piccolo are practically cut from the same cloth."

"Perhaps this is a unique skill exclusive to Namekians!"

Mu Chuan didn't forget to grumble at this moment; even if he felt the skill had some utility, he found it extremely repulsive.

Who could stand that, anyway?

If it were him, he couldn't stomach it.

After finishing his rant, he formally turned his gaze toward Slug, his mind rapidly recalling information regarding the villain.

Immediately following that, he suddenly grew excited.

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

An evil Super Namekian!

He possessed terrifying combat power, but because he was gradually aging, his condition was no longer what it once was, and his combat power had naturally declined.

Yet, even in his base state, he held millions in combat power, not to mention that Slug possessed a Giant Form; once he transformed, his power would skyrocket tenfold, much like a Saiyan turning into a Great Ape.

Having reviewed the opponent's information, Mu Chuan became even more confident. Although he didn't have absolute certainty, he knew that based on his current combat power, he wasn't inferior to the other party!

Moreover, the opponent was not in his prime state.

He was perfect to serve as a whetstone.

The other Saiyans had all used the Armored Squadron to hone their skills, but his own combat power was relatively too high, leaving him without a suitable opponent.

They were either too strong or not even enough to whet his appetite.

Now... the appearance of Slug was just right!

"This is getting interesting... I'm already starting to get excited."

Mu Chuan could barely suppress the smile on his face.

In the distance, Slug, who had just stepped off his spaceship, was unaware of Mu Chuan's inner thoughts. As he walked down slowly, a powerful aura erupted suddenly.

It surged forth without restraint.

The entire planet began to tremble.

Then, his aged voice drifted over.

"Warrior traveling through the universe! I, the great Demon King Slug, see that you possess some strength. How about becoming my subordinate?"

"I shall lead you to rule the entire universe. When that time comes, you shall have whatever you desire: power, status, strength, immortality... all can be grasped in your hands."

"How about it?"

To recruit powerful subordinates, one must first ensure one's own strength is not weak.

Therefore, Slug took the lead by displaying his terrifying aura, showcasing his millions in combat power to the fullest.

Mu Chuan was slightly stunned; he had been curious as to why Slug had forced him to stop.

Was it just for this?

"What is wrong with these guys? Whenever they see someone with a bit of strength, they want to shove them into their ranks as subordinates."

"No wonder they all want to be cosmic emperors; they all share the same sickness!"

He couldn't help but grumble, as Frieza and his ilk suffered from the exact same affliction.

At first, he had been puzzled.

He had no direct or indirect hatred toward the other party, and even if he were a Super Namekian, what did that have to do with him?

Unexpectedly, the guy actually wanted to recruit him as a subordinate!

That explained it...

However, once he figured it out, a trace of mockery began to surface on his face.

"You?"

"With that twilight body of yours, I'm afraid you won't last much longer, will you?"

"You're already half-buried in the grave, yet you still want to dominate the universe. I see you're a Namekian, right? Why not go play with your water instead of playing this 'rule the universe' game with me?"

"You're thinking way too much!"

Mu Chuan went straight for the throat, not caring what the other party thought; he had no need to respect his intentions.

Besides, this was an excellent whetstone, and he didn't want to let it go so easily.

A look of fury appeared on Slug's face.

The group of aliens beside him also grew furious at this moment.

Had he not just insulted them along with him?

Just as they were seething with rage, a figure suddenly appeared right before them.

Who else could it be but Mu Chuan?

Mu Chuan had no interest in these loudmouths; since they couldn't treat each other with civility, he might as well strike first!

BOOM!

He gripped two massive energy blasts in his hands and detonated them directly in front of Slug.

The many aliens present were reduced to ashes on the spot, and even those few capable subordinates of Slug were wiped out instantly, caught completely off guard!

The spaceship itself was torn open by the blast.

Slug, however, managed to escape unscathed.

Setting aside whether such an attack could actually harm him, he was, after all, a terrifying Super Namekian with a combat power in the millions; how could he be dealt with so easily?

Yet, as he looked at all his subordinates who had been utterly annihilated, along with his now-ruined spaceship...

His already unsightly expression...

Turned completely black.

A wave of even more terrifying energy surged from his body.

Slug glared at Mu Chuan, grinding his teeth.

"You piece of trash!"

"To think you would dare kill all my men—well then... I will never let you leave here alive!"

"Since the ship is destroyed, it seems only one of us will be leaving this planet."

"Have you prepared yourself for death?"

Slug's muscles began to swell, and the features on his face gradually started to recover, looking significantly less aged than before.

But this was merely a forced restoration to his peak combat power; in truth, he was already long past his prime, and he could only maintain this peak state for a short time.

Furthermore...

It wouldn't last very long.

Just as Slug was speaking, Mu Chuan immediately unleashed the Great Ape Power, his entire body enveloped in a crimson aura.

His combat power soared instantly...

His base combat power had already reached 1.5 million.

Upon unleashing the Great Ape Power, his combat power reached 15 million!

This level of power was truly terrifying; the entire planet trembled because of it, and even the waters below were momentarily displaced into a vacuum.

He had no desire for small talk, nor did he want to play a turn-based game; he went straight into his optimal state!

With a flash of movement.

Before Slug could react, he slammed a kick into him, followed immediately by a continuous barrage of energy blasts.

It was as if he intended to completely destroy both the planet and Slug.

His strikes were incredibly fast.

But Slug's reaction was not slow either; although he had been caught off guard, once he recovered, he crossed his arms and deflected all the energy blasts away.

His expression shifted rapidly—he was livid!

His opponent had no sense of martial honor; every time he opened his mouth to speak, he was bombarded, and every time he was caught off guard while talking!

The first time, he wiped out his men and destroyed his ship; the second time, he forced him to take a kick and countless energy blasts.

It was simply unforgivable!
