Super Saiyan vs. Frieza!

Mu Chuan's transformation came out of nowhere, and it was enough to startle everyone. Even Frieza was badly shaken in that moment!

His face was full of shock.

But after the initial shock, Frieza became more serious than ever before.

At first, he had merely been toying with Mu Chuan.

But now he had realized how serious the situation was, especially after seeing Mu Chuan's transformation and the sudden change in his appearance.

He had finally understood...

The Super Saiyan wasn't just a legend.

It was real. The stinking monkey in front of him had truly transformed into a Super Saiyan!

Thanks to the transformation, Mu Chuan's battle power had soared to such a terrifying level that even he, the Emperor of the Universe, felt a suffocating pressure.

That showed just how terrifying his battle power was!

Frieza took a deep breath to steady himself, then loosened up his arms and legs before looking up at Mu Chuan in the distance.

"So that's it..."

"No wonder you had the nerve to challenge me. You've become a Super Saiyan!"

"How surprising. But do you really think that becoming a Super Saiyan means you've got me beat?"

"Then you couldn't be more wrong!"

"Maybe a while ago, I could have been caught off guard and lost. But ever since that day, I've decided I won't lose again!"

"No one can make me, the Great Frieza, submit!!!"

Frieza roared.

Purple light spread over his body, enveloping him. A moment later, wisps of silver-white lightning began to flicker around him.

A closer look would reveal a faint, shimmering sheen across the surface of his skin.

At the same time, his aura surged, and his battle power rose!

It multiplied several times over in an instant!

Even Mu Chuan, already transformed into a Super Saiyan, felt a heavy pressure when he sensed Frieza's power.

Frieza really was different now!

His battle power had increased by at least five or six times!

Mu Chuan wasn't sure what to make of it.

But he knew he was lucky to have mastered the first stage of the Super Saiyan transformation. With only Pseudo Super Saiyan, he wouldn't have stood a chance against Frieza.

"My lord truly is the best!"

The remark came as a faint murmur.

Mu Chuan vanished from where he stood and reappeared behind Frieza the next second. He threw a powerful punch, following it with several blasts of ki.

Frieza seemed to have sensed him coming.

He dodged with ease, and not one of the rapid-fire ki blasts even grazed a hair on his body.

They traded blows back and forth.

Their speed was astonishing. But their battle power was so absurdly high that the entire planet had already been shattered by their fight.

Now they were fighting back and forth atop enormous chunks of rock. As time passed, Mu Chuan began to feel short of breath.

His real crisis had only begun once the planet was destroyed. Even though his battle power was slightly greater than Frieza's, he couldn't finish him off quickly.

What was more, once the planet was destroyed,

he would truly be at a disadvantage.

After fighting for fifteen minutes,

This won't do. I can't keep this up.

Once the planet is completely shattered, I'll be exposed to the vacuum of space.

Frieza has the blood of the Frieza Race, so he can survive in the vacuum of space. But I can't. Then it'll all be over.

Realizing how serious the situation was, Mu Chuan tried to control his power. He didn't want the planet to be destroyed so soon.

Getting aboard a spaceship wasn't really an option.

But the moment he started holding back, Frieza seized his chance. He grabbed Mu Chuan by the arms and legs and slammed him toward the planet's core.

"You're not so tough after all..."

"So this is the legendary Super Saiyan? If that's all you've got, you're a huge disappointment!"

"Show me what you can really do!"

Frieza, who had the upper hand, burst into a smug laugh.

Boom!!

Mu Chuan shot out of the planet's core.

He had a few minor injuries, but nothing serious. He would need time to defeat Frieza.

And this battlefield was far from ideal...

It was wearing him down. He didn't dare cause too much destruction.

That kept him on the defensive.

After fighting for a while, Frieza quickly figured out why Mu Chuan had gone from fighting without restraint to holding back.

"Oh-ho-ho-ho... I get it now! I know why you don't dare attack!!"

"You're afraid the planet will be destroyed, aren't you? Once that happens, you won't be able to survive in the vacuum of space."

"No wonder... No wonder you haven't dared cause too much destruction. By all rights, your battle power isn't weak."

"After becoming the legendary Super Saiyan, your battle power obviously wouldn't be weak. You may be weaker than me, the Great Frieza, but surely not by this much."

"Too bad..."

"You don't dare attack!!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Frieza laughed so hard he nearly doubled over, thoroughly enjoying himself.

"But I don't have to worry about that. I have the most noble blood of the Frieza Race. I've been able to survive in the vacuum of space since the day I was born."

"Even if I'm not on a planet, I can still move around freely in the vacuum."

"That's where I'm better than you!"

Frieza looked especially pleased with himself.

As he spoke, he deliberately fired several beams of destruction, each aimed at the planet's core.

It looked as though he meant to destroy the whole planet.

But Mu Chuan didn't let him get his way. He fired several ki blasts to block the beams of destruction.

They canceled each other out, and he stopped every beam.

Of course, that enraged him!

He had been worried about the vacuum, where his advantage would disappear entirely.

But now...

Frieza was using that against him.

How could he put up with that?

Looks like I'll have to end this quickly!

Mu Chuan narrowed his eyes. Even though he knew the destruction of the planet would bring an overwhelming crisis, he was ready to finish the fight fast!

His ki surged!

With a boom, the golden light around him grew even more intense, so dense it seemed to smother everything. His aura surged along with it.

Boom!

He vanished in an explosion of sound.

The next moment, his fist slammed into Frieza, sending him high into the air. Mu Chuan chased after him and kicked him downward.

Frieza was still dazed. Before he could react, he was being knocked around like a ball.
