For a long time after that.
Earth enjoyed a rare stretch of peace once more.
Life seemed to return to its original calm, as though nothing had ever happened.
Sun Wuxiu also settled back into his regular routine.
He continued his intense training every day.
His biggest training goal now
was to perfectly combine the wild power of Super Saiyan 5 with the divine power of Ultra Instinct.
He wanted to enter that state whenever he wished, maintain it for as long as he wished, and suffer no unnecessary strain.
It was the long adjustment he had to go through every time he developed a new transformation.
Sun Wuxiu had come to a conclusion of his own.
In this Dragon Ball world,
each new power followed roughly the same path of progression.
First, he developed a new transformation.
Then, through constant fighting and exploration, he learned to transform at will.
After that,
he honed it day after day until he could perfectly control all its power while transformed, without letting a trace of energy leak out or wasting any stamina.
Finally, once he had wrung every last bit of potential from that form,
he developed a new transformation at a higher level.
The cycle repeated, taking him ever higher.
Sun Wuxiu still wasn't sure
whether there would be any path left for him to grow stronger after he had completely mastered Ultra Instinct Super Saiyan 5, a state that fused divine power with his Saiyan blood.
But
at least he could clearly see the road before him.
He would keep his feet on the ground and follow it to the end first.
Then he would know whether another step awaited him at an even higher level.
Besides,
there was something beyond Saiyan transformations
that mattered most to Sun Wuxiu right
