"What exactly is this so-called arch-enemy? Is his battle power really much higher than yours?"
After calming down a little, Son Goku naturally thought of how He Lingxuan had attacked them several times without ever going for the kill. He clearly had some other motive.
Otherwise, with his strength, he could have killed them all and destroyed the world with ease.
"Do you remember the Frieza Force I just mentioned?
"It's an invading army created by Frieza, the emperor of the universe. And our arch-enemy is none other than this emperor."
Hearing He Lingxuan's words, both Son Goku and Piccolo felt confused. Hadn't this man just said that the Saiyans were under Frieza's command?
"I know what you're going to say. That's right, the Saiyans used to be nothing more than Frieza's obedient dogs.
"But just over ten years ago, Frieza summoned all the Saiyans who were fighting abroad back to their home, Planet Vegeta, and destroyed it with his own hands."
"Though I don't know why he did it—it might have been because of some possibly false prophecy, or maybe for some other reason—there's no denying that he wiped out the Saiyan race!"
"I didn't have much of a connection to the Saiyans anyway. After all, I survived precisely because I didn't like taking orders and didn't return to Planet Vegeta.
"But with the emperor of the universe, Frieza, harboring such hostility toward the Saiyans and possessing a battle power of 530,000, my measly 100,000 was obviously nothing."
At that, He Lingxuan paused and glanced at Son Goku and Piccolo. Sure enough, they seemed stunned by the number 530,000, as if they couldn't imagine what sort of level that represented.
Ignoring their shock, He Lingxuan continued.
"I only came to this planet because it's remote enough. Of course, I also knew about your existence from the information I had.
"But I'm not interested in destroying the humans on this planet. I just wanted to find an opponent to fight. I never expected you to be so weak."
As he spoke, he put on an utterly disappointed expression. He Lingxuan felt like he could become an actor.
"But given how weak you are, I've decided to come here once a month and have some fun. If, after three visits, even one of you hasn't improved at all, I'll kill him. I'll keep doing that one by one until you're all dead!
"Of course, if you can defeat or kill me, that's your achievement."
He looked at Son Goku and Piccolo with utter disdain, speaking arrogantly as he glanced toward Krillin and the others, who had just gotten back to their feet.
The scene put Son Goku and Piccolo under immense pressure. Son Goku immediately challenged him.
"There's no evil in your ki. I believe you're not a bad person by nature. Why would you do something like this?"
"Hm?"
Oh no, I forgot about that.
He Lingxuan's heart lurched. That question reminded He Linxuan that, in the original story, they could sense whether someone's ki was evil. In fact, anyone who had learned to sense ki could do it.
It was like how a person who had done too many bad things would naturally give off an aura that didn't seem very kind.
After all, in the Dragon Ball World, ki was essentially a person's life force. Once their ki ran out, they were more or less dead. That was why ordinary people could barely conceal the nature of their ki.
Though he felt a little flustered inside, he kept a perfectly calm expression.
"Ki might tell you a few things, but it can't tell you everything. Anyway, I hope you'll grow stronger soon. I look forward to the day you can become my opponents."
Before he had even finished speaking, He Lingxuan vanished from sight.
Son Goku and Piccolo exchanged glances, unsure whether to feel relieved or afraid. At least they could be sure that the frighteningly powerful man had no ill intentions toward them or Earth.
The only thing to worry about was the battle he'd said he would have with them once a month. What level of growth did he expect them to achieve in those fights?
Otherwise, in three months, at least one of them might be dead. They didn't know if he was serious, but it was better to prepare just in case.
So Son Goku planned to discuss what to do with his friends as soon as he got back.
As for He Lingxuan, to avoid giving himself away, he had already appeared in a city.
With his current battle power, flying around the world—even making a full circuit—wouldn't take long, so finding a human city was easy.
He dealt with a few bandits in the wilderness and took some of their money. Then he went straight into the city, ate and drank his fill, and checked into an upscale hotel. Looking out at the bustling scene beyond the window,
He Lingxuan sank into a rare moment of reflection. In truth, he felt rather lost about his future. Though he had acquired two cheat-like gifts that would be considered impressive even in a novel,
he had been starved of affection since childhood and didn't even know how to interact with people normally. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a handsome face in the real world and still ended up with hardly any friends.
So he could only lose himself in the virtual world.
He shook his head, putting those overwhelming thoughts aside, and looked at the unopened Character Skill Packs on the system panel.
After washing his face, he lay down on the big bed and looked at the packs in the system. Then he said softly, "System, open Piccolo's skill pack."
Why not open Son Goku's? Because the best things were always saved for last.
After all, these packs could give him skills from the future. Kaioken, the Super Saiyan transformation, the Super Saiyan God transformation, the legendary Divine Technique, Ultra Instinct, the Kamehameha, and plenty of other powerful skills were all possible rewards.
"Ding! Piccolo's skill pack has been opened. Congratulations, host! You've obtained the skill Meditation!"
"Uh, that's not bad. At least it's not useless. System, open Krillin's skill pack next."
Filled with anticipation, He Lingxuan was surprised by what he got from the final pack.
"Ding! Krillin's skill pack has been opened. Congratulations! You've obtained future Krillin's martial arts training experience and insights into ki!"
There was no doubt that this was very important to him right now. Mastering ki would let someone freely control the battle-power aura they revealed to others.
It also meant they could use ki to control their immense strength and sense other people's ki and how powerful they were, among other things.
So without hesitation, He Lingxuan said to the system, "System, fuse future Krillin's martial arts training experience and insights into ki!"
