An Epic Showdown!

"Damn you, scum!"

Slug roared, and the aura around him doubled in an instant.

It was an unprecedented insult!

But just as he was about to retaliate, Mu Chuan appeared behind him the next second, clasped his fists together, and smashed him straight down from the sky.

Mu Chuan appeared below him right after, drove a knee upward, then followed with an uppercut. Grabbing Slug by his clothes, he hurled him viciously to the side.

A blast of energy shot forth!

Slug was utterly overwhelmed.

Whenever he tried to run his mouth, Mu Chuan beat him mercilessly.

That finally taught him to keep his mouth shut. He spun around in midair and fled the battlefield, giving himself a brief chance to catch his breath.

But he didn't say another word. He removed the helmet from his head, revealing the distinctive face of a Namekian, his features twisted in a ferocious grin.

The next moment,

his body rapidly expanded, transforming him into a towering giant.

His battle power surged in an instant.

"I'd planned to let you rule the universe alongside me, but since you refuse to appreciate my generosity, I'll show you my true power!"

"You stinking monkey with a tail!"

Slug had barely transformed when he felt like he was back in top form, and began spouting grandiose boasts.

But before he could even react, another energy blast slammed into his face, hurtling straight toward him.

Mu Chuan gave him no chance at all.

He'd already sensed just how powerful his opponent was. If he had a Scouter right now, he was certain Slug's battle power would be around thirty million!

After all, Slug's battle power in his normal state was only a few million.

But in this state...

His battle power had increased tenfold. Naturally, that was terrifying. It was lucky Slug hadn't truly regained his peak strength; otherwise, his battle power would have reached at least sixty million.

At that point, Mu Chuan would have no choice but to run.

"I can still handle him!"

Mu Chuan assessed their relative strength. His opponent was indeed powerful, but his larger body had made him slower.

His reactions had also become much more sluggish.

He'd practically exposed his weaknesses for all to see.

Besides, Mu Chuan was still going toe-to-toe with him because he wanted to test his own battle power and use this opportunity to improve.

Training alone wasn't enough!

Even if he kept relying on the Sign-in System, all it would do was increase his battle power. He'd end up with an incredibly high battle-power rating, but almost no combat experience.

If that happened, he'd be useless!

Combat could not only build real-world experience, but also help him master his own power.

Of course, when he saw Slug, memories from his past gradually resurfaced.

Instead, he wanted to try another possibility...

After all, he'd always felt that his Great Ape Power wasn't reliable enough. It was still too weak!

As he tried it out, he naturally intended to use the quickest method to finish the fight.

After all, Slug's weakness was obvious.

He wouldn't resort to this unless absolutely necessary. It could certainly take his opponent down, but it wouldn't benefit him at all.

There was no need...

"His battle power may be higher, but his speed and reactions have changed." Mu Chuan analyzed as he dodged his opponent's attacks.

"This is a good opportunity!"

If his opponent had been a stranger, Mu Chuan wouldn't have dared to take such risks. But Slug was an open book. Mu Chuan knew his methods, his thoughts, and even his fatal weaknesses.

So, with their battle power relatively close, Slug was the perfect sparring partner!

Mu Chuan launched a fierce assault, his aura growing exceptionally wild.

Energy blasts rained down on Slug as if they cost nothing.

Purple blood sprayed through the air.

Accompanied by Slug's roars, the scene was truly gruesome.

"If I had my peak battle power, what would a stinking monkey like you amount to?"

"I'm a Super Namekian! A true member of the Demon Clan!"

As he roared, Slug stretched out both arms and reached for Mu Chuan, who was constantly dodging, trying to grab him.

But since Mu Chuan knew Slug was a Namekian, he'd naturally been on guard against that.

All Namekians could regenerate severed limbs and heal themselves. Of course... the ability to stretch their arms at will was another essential trait.

It was a basic ability possessed by warrior-type Namekians.

And Slug was a Super Namekian, after all.

Mu Chuan vanished in a blur and dodged. He slammed a fist into Slug's head, then grabbed him by the antennae and hurled him violently to the other side.

But even after considering every possibility, Mu Chuan hadn't expected Slug to seem as if he'd predicted his move. Slug's arms curved around again and grabbed him with a brutal grip.

He was squeezed tightly in Slug's grasp, held by strength that reached thirty million in battle power.

The suffocating force bore down on him, and Mu Chuan couldn't help crying out.

Slug's bloodied face grew even more savage. He burst into loud, uninhibited laughter.

"Got you!"

"You're pretty slippery, but... did you really think I couldn't handle you? I was just luring you in!"

"Now I'll show you my true power!"

Slug held Mu Chuan in a crushing grip as a tremendous amount of energy gathered in his hand. An energy blast even began to form in his palm.

Blue light flared. Mu Chuan sensed an imminent threat to his life, as if an intensely hot force were pressing against him.

He had never felt more endangered.

It was just like the moment before he'd crossed over...

"No!"

"I won't allow this!"

Mu Chuan gritted his teeth. This threat...

could really cost him his life!

Even though he had Limb Regeneration, he could tell that if the energy blast hit him, the consequences would be dire!

He'd been trying to exploit his opponent's weakness.

But his opponent—

Mu Chuan let out a whistle. As a transmigrator, he knew Slug very well. He wouldn't let himself be put in mortal danger.

A test of his abilities was one thing...

But he absolutely wouldn't let anyone take his life!

When the whistle rang out, Slug froze as if struck by a paralysis spell. He faltered for a moment, then a pained expression spread across his face.

Even the energy blast was interrupted.

Mu Chuan seized the chance to retreat, breaking free from his opponent's grasp.

But at that moment, he was truly furious!

Never since crossing over had he felt so close to death. Fury spread through him, and his pupils gradually began to lose focus.

Slowly, yellow light surged around him, and his aura began to rise!
