The Crowd Instantly Killed, He Lingxuan's Confession.

However, the power of the system was his own power, so He Lingxuan did not feel any sense of embarrassment.

Just as Son Goku had caught his breath and stood up, Demon King Piccolo, who had been following closely behind from a distance, happened to witness the scene of Son Goku being defeated in an instant. In that split second, it felt as if something had shattered within his mind.

It was Demon King Piccolo's own pride—the pride of having no opponent other than Son Goku, the pride that as long as he defeated Son Goku, he could rule the entire world.

But at this very moment, at the moment Son Goku was effortlessly taken down by someone else, this insignificant pride of Demon King Piccolo shattered.

After all, from the moment he was born, he had been burdened with the mission to defeat Son Goku and rule the world, even though he himself did not clearly understand how to do it, or whether it was good, bad, or correct.

During these years of training, he had often helped people who were lost or encountered crises in the wild. Only by being this kind of person, both righteous and evil, would he be redeemed in the later plot.

"Damn you, Son Goku! I haven't defeated you yet, and you actually lost to someone else? Then I have no choice but to defeat the person who beat you first, and then kill you! That way, I can unify the whole world!"

After saying this, Demon King Piccolo directly condensed a Ki Blast in his hands and hurled it at He Lingxuan.

BOOM!

The massive shockwave generated by the explosion of the Ki Blast instantly filled the area with dust and debris, making it impossible to see the situation clearly.

At that very instant, Demon King Piccolo dove straight down, as if he were going to take the opportunity to attack He Lingxuan.

However, He Lingxuan watched him with interest, wanting to see how he would act next.

After all, at this stage, he was practically invincible. Demon King Piccolo's mere combat power of just over 400 couldn't hope to shake him in the slightest.

Even if he used his trump card, the Special Beam Cannon, to concentrate his power and unleash an attack level of over 1,000, it was still far too weak compared to He Lingxuan, a Saiyan who possessed a full 100,000 in his base state.

Unexpectedly, however, taking advantage of the swirling dust, Demon King Piccolo did not launch another attack. Instead, he helped the just-risen Son Goku to his feet and retreated frantically.

Demon King Piccolo's lips curled slightly, and he said in a tone full of mockery and arrogance: "Son Goku, you've fallen into my hands after all, haven't you?"

"Remember, you can only die by my hand!"

"Don't think I'm saving you; I'm only doing this so I can defeat you fair and square later, and then rule the world!"

Although Demon King Piccolo said this, Son Goku knew that he was no longer the evil Demon King Piccolo of the past, but a Newborn Piccolo—a new life with a completely different essence. His essence was kind.

Son Goku felt this to be true, nodded, and said: "Thanks anyway, Piccolo. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been in grave danger."

But suddenly, a voice that made one's spine chill emerged in the ears of both Demon King Piccolo and Son Goku.

"Still chatting leisurely? You don't even know how to run away quickly. You are all truly too weak."

It was He Lingxuan. His figure had appeared behind the two of them in an instant, and he had calmly spoken those chilling words. Perhaps, in their eyes, it was no different from seeing a 'ghost'.

He gently patted Son Goku, who was half-supporting Demon King Piccolo's shoulder. In an instant, a terrifying pressure descended, layer upon layer, forcing both Demon King Piccolo and Son Goku from the air down to the ground—or rather, 'into' the ground!

BANG!

Ding, congratulations on defeating the original character Newborn Piccolo. You have gained 100 upgrade points. Given this is the first time defeating the target character, you are rewarded with a small skill gift pack.

Hearing this familiar prompt, a smile appeared on He Lingxuan's face, while Demon King Piccolo and Son Goku lay on the ground with bitter expressions.

Suddenly, the sound of something breaking through the air came from afar. It turned out that Krillin and the others had arrived. Seeing this, He Lingxuan's heart was practically bursting with joy; after all, how many more upgrade points and skill gift packs would these newcomers bring?

The next second, He Lingxuan vanished from where he stood.

Son Goku, having reacted, was just about to shout for Krillin and the others to run, but before he could make a sound, Krillin and the others fell from the sky. Without a shred of resistance, they were instantly taken down.

Ding, congratulations on defeating the original character Krillin. You have gained 100 upgrade points. Given this is the first time defeating the target character, you are rewarded with a small skill gift pack. Ding, congratulations on defeating the original character Tien Shinhan. You have gained 100 upgrade points. Given this is the first time defeating the target character, you are rewarded with a small skill gift pack. Ding, congratulations on defeating the original character Chiaotzu. You have gained 100 upgrade points. Given this is the first time defeating the target character, you are rewarded with a small skill gift pack.

Watching the upgrade points and skill gift packs pile up, He Lingxuan was blooming with joy inside.

Then, in the next instant, he returned to the front of Son Goku and Demon King Piccolo, only to hear Son Goku shout.

"What did you do to Krillin and the others?!"

"Heh, what did I do to them? So what? Do you think you have the ability to resist me? You think your insignificant combat power can stop me?"

"As a Saiyan like me, you are truly too weak—so weak that you aren't even worth looking at. But seeing that confused look on your face, I'll be kind enough to explain it to you."

"You and I both come from the Saiyan race, a famous warrior race in the universe, belonging to the Frieza Force used to conquer the cosmos."

"Looking at you, perhaps your head suffered a violent impact when you were a child, leading to a memory error."

"Otherwise, according to the traditional memory implantation of the Saiyans, your goal would be to wipe out all humans on Earth."

He Lingxuan touched his chin, pretending to be thoughtful. This script was something he had thought of the moment he saw the system options and Son Goku's arrival.

He would expose his Saiyan identity and state his attitude, all to live a stable life on Earth.

"Then, you would wait for the arrival of the Frieza Force to sell this planet, and your mission would be complete. However, because of the error, perhaps it won't be long before other members of our race arrive here."

Watching Son Goku's eyes shift, He Lingxuan coughed lightly and continued.

"Of course, my purpose in coming here is merely to find a place to live and cultivate for a period of time, so I can take revenge on the arch-enemy of our Saiyan race."

"The reason I beat you down is simply because you are too weak. In terms of the quantification of strength in the universe, the combat power of you two is only a little over 400, and those few humans over there are only a little over 200. As for me, I possess a full 100,000 in combat power!"

"However, this kind of strength is still too weak against the arch-enemy of our race."

Once Son Goku finally caught his breath and heard He Lingxuan's explanation, he understood just how vast the gap between them really was.

It was no exaggeration to say that if He Lingxuan wanted to, they would be wiped off the map in an instant, or destroyed by a simple Ki Blast.
