Of course, He Lingxuan knew his own limits. Compared to an existence like that, he was still far too insignificant.
Even Zeno, the supreme being of the Dragon Ball World, was nothing more than a tiny ant before such an existence—let alone He Lingxuan, whose battle power was only a little over a hundred thousand.
He Lingxuan knew exactly where he stood in the Dragon Ball World. He couldn't even beat Frieza, the first boss in Dragon Ball Z, even though Frieza was the strongest fighter in the early and middle parts of the story.
So he had to work hard! Keep grinding for points and training!
His current goal was to grind out a million upgrade points first!
With his current mental power of 3,500, He Lingxuan could detect a very wide area.
Of course, if he used ki, he could sense the entire planet with ease. It just wasn't as precise as mental power, and he could only sense living energy.
What's more, mental power had many other uses. It was also important for raising his dimensional level.
Once his dimensional level was high enough, he could comprehend all kinds of power related to laws in the Dragon Ball World. For example, understanding God Ki was the threshold for reaching the divine realm.
Most importantly, improving his mental power would boost his comprehension and reaction speed, as well as his ability to sense things like space. All in all, mental power was incredibly versatile.
Feeling the sheer abundance of marine life, He Lingxuan grinned like the Dragon King, the corners of his mouth practically reaching the sky.
With a thought, the marine life within range of his mental power was instantly shaken into a bloody pulp by Omni-Vibration!
Just as countless notification sounds were about to ring out, He Lingxuan muted the system. He'd grind for a while first, then check the results afterward.
And so He Lingxuan began a massacre. It was a good opportunity to clear out some of the dangerous marine creatures that had accumulated on the seafloor over the years, so they wouldn't prey on the other fish.
He Lingxuan released a slight burst of ki, stirring up enormous whirlpools and waves across the entire seabed. The surface of the ocean was thrown into chaos in various places.
The coastline was suddenly beset by ominous conditions, as if a storm were brewing!
Fierce winds battered the cliffs, and wave after wave piled up until they became tsunami-like walls of water, surging forward at tremendous speed and swallowing the coastline.
Many marine creatures came rushing ashore, seemingly fleeing for their lives. Some had even come from the deep sea, yet now they appeared amid the tsunami's raging waters!
On a volcanic rock several thousand meters beneath the sea, He Lingxuan sat cross-legged beside a volcano that seemed ready to erupt at any moment. His eyes were closed as he faced the endless darkness.
Though he seemed to be meditating, He Lingxuan was releasing mental energy nonstop. He also kept using Omni-Vibration to kill the marine creatures that had reached the first tier in the deep sea.
Why didn't he run around to cover more of the ocean with his mental field and kill more creatures?
Because He Lingxuan had discovered that staying seated and using upgrade points to expand his mental range and replenish his mental energy was far more efficient than running around while using Omni-Vibration to kill.
And as he felt the upgrade points steadily pouring in, far outstripping the cost of expanding and replenishing his mental power, He Lingxuan looked pleased.
At last, after a full night of killing, He Lingxuan opened his eyes, looking extremely satisfied. Then he flew up toward outer space.
He passed through Earth's ozone layer and entered outer space. At first, the lack of oxygen made him feel slightly uncomfortable, but he quickly adapted and was completely unaffected!
This was clearly the adaptive ability of his Top-Tier Physique, combined with the effects of Immortality. Together, they let a Saiyan—who normally couldn't survive in the vacuum of space—adapt and live there.
He Lingxuan had come into space because he wanted to test just how much power he could unleash now, and what level he could reach.
[Infinite Upgrade System] [Host: He Lingxuan] [Age: 19] [Current World: Dragon Ball World (???)] [Battle Power: 1,000,000 points (upgradeable)] [Mental Power: 100,000 points (upgradeable)] [Talents: Advanced Saiyan Bloodline (upgradeable), Top-Tier Physique Talent (upgradeable; all physique-related costs reduced by 300%, defense increased by 1,000%, recovery increased by 1,000%, can regenerate severed limbs, energy storage increased by 100%, poison resistance increased by 1,000%...), Humanoid Great Ape Transformation (upgradeable; can increase battle power tenfold)] [Techniques: Micro-Control (can control his own power with nearly perfect, roughly 100% precision; upgradeable)] [Skills: Immortality +1 (upgradeable), Yuan-Devouring Scabbard +1 (upgradeable), Omni-Vibration +10 (upgradeable), Ki Blast +3 (upgradeable), Ki Wave +3 (upgradeable), Flight Technique +3 (upgradeable), Kaioken (upgradeable), Intermediate Psychokinesis (upgradeable)] [Upgrade Points: 1,000,000] [Items: None]
After a full night of killing, He Lingxuan had gained a little over three million upgrade points. That total included the points exchanged from his talent skills; otherwise, he couldn't have earned so many.
He'd spent a little over two million points to raise his battle power to one million, his mental power to one hundred thousand, Immortality to +1, and Omni-Vibration to level ten. That left him with exactly one million upgrade points.
Although he'd spent a lot, it had all been worth it. Upgrading Immortality had given him an astonishingly huge boost.
Not only had its quality improved, but its "quantity" had increased enormously as well.
For example, its upper limit for withstanding attacks had reached below the second tier. This applied across every level, whether the force was magical, mental, or physical!
In other words, he was completely immune to any attack below the third tier. He could ignore and withstand any attack from someone with less than one hundred million battle power.
As for the "quantity" aspect, it had only increased to ten people's worth. Originally, its effect could be applied to himself, another person, or a weapon. Now, it could affect ten people or ten weapons at a time.
That was incredibly terrifying. After all, this was Immortality!
It could make someone immortal, giving them a lifespan nearly as long as the universe itself, along with absolute constancy!
An immortal life was something anyone with ambition desperately craved.
Aside from Immortality, he'd also upgraded Omni-Vibration a full ten times.
Omni-Vibration could now vibrate anything it sensed or saw, without relying on any material at all. Whether it was a person or an object, it could be shaken in an instant, and its power didn't weaken with distance.
It was an extremely powerful skill for killing enemies across vast distances.
On top of that, it had many additional effects, including increased power and special buffs.
By He Lingxuan's own estimate, anyone with less than one million battle power would be shaken to pieces if he used Omni-Vibration on them!
He could also easily trigger massive quakes in the crust of an ordinary planet and destroy its surface.
With all his current abilities combined, He Lingxuan even felt he could fight Frieza!
Looking out at the boundless vacuum of space and the countless twinkling stars, He Lingxuan knew that although he now had the power to destroy planets, he was still far too insignificant compared to the universe.
He closed his eyes and spread out his vast, boundless mental power, covering the entire Earth!
He "saw" Son Goku, Piccolo, and the others training hard.
Son Goku and Piccolo, moving like blurs as they sparred, finally stopped after fighting for several hours.
Both were drenched in sweat and panting heavily. They'd clearly fought in earnest, and both had sustained quite a few injuries.
Son Goku braced his hands on his thighs and bent over to catch his breath. Then he looked toward Piccolo, who had just finished fighting him and was standing in place with sweat dripping from his forehead, and smiled.
"Honestly, there's no need to worry so much. You've sensed how strong that guy is. We can't come close to matching him right now. Besides, he hasn't shown any interest in threatening Earth."
Hearing Son Goku's somewhat naive tone, Piccolo felt his anger rise. Why had he even lost to him back then?
Piccolo snorted and said, "Son Goku, you really are naive. Someone with that kind of power might not have any plans right now, but what about later?
"If he gets even the slightest idea, we won't have the ability to resist at all. What will happen to your family and your friends then?"
Piccolo paused, then looked at Son Goku's innocent face and continued.
"Or are you putting your hopes in the enemy's mercy? Well, I suppose that really is the Son Goku I know."
The first part was delivered with unusual severity, but Piccolo only murmured the last part to himself.
After hearing Piccolo's words, Son Goku rubbed the back of his head and laughed. Whether he was embarrassed or something else, he soon stopped laughing and said calmly,
"That's why we're training so hard now. The gap between us and that guy is still huge, but we'll do what we can. If all else fails, we can try something else."
As he said this, Son Goku's gaze suddenly sharpened. Piccolo immediately felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, and a bad feeling came over him.
Hearing Son Goku's words, Piccolo immediately thought of several possible plans, but dismissed them one by one—until he remembered a terrifying technique buried deep in his memory.
Was he talking about the Evil Containment Wave?!
Piccolo suddenly realized what he meant, then looked up sharply at Son Goku's cheerful expression.
"Looks like you figured it out too, Piccolo!"
Son Goku watched Piccolo's uncertain expression and knew he'd probably guessed what he had in mind.
"Hmph! You really are devious, Son Goku!"
"Okay, you've rested enough, right? Let's keep fighting. We can't afford to stop training if we're going to deal with that guy!"
Piccolo beckoned to Son Goku.
"All right! Here I come!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, they both broke the sound barrier and collided elbow to elbow!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sounds of battle soon rang out again without pause. Krillin and the others were training nearby. Watching the fight, they could only lament that they weren't strong enough, then throw themselves into their own training.
There wasn't much else on Earth that drew He Lingxuan's attention. The only one who did was Dr. Gero, who would create the Androids in the future!
He was a true genius. He was an ordinary Earthling with a battle power of only a few points, yet he could create Androids that even Super Saiyans couldn't beat. The scientific talent of Earthlings in the Dragon Ball universe was simply maxed out.
Then there was Bulma in the future, who managed to build a Time Machine in those conditions—one that could travel through time. That alone showed just how extraordinary Earthlings' scientific talent was.
Although only a handful of them were truly exceptional, they still surpassed the other planets by a wide margin.
Bulma's family and Dr. Gero's family could both be considered human families with absurdly strong scientific talent.
So after observing Dr. Gero's work on the Androids, He Lingxuan shifted his mental probe toward Bulma's family.
But then he saw something he shouldn't have, and quickly withdrew his mental power.
"All right, it's about time to begin."
He Lingxuan opened his eyes and silently thought to himself.
Power and ki began surging through his whole body, but he kept them from bursting out, controlling them perfectly within himself without so much as a hint of an energy surge.
Just as He Lingxuan was about to unleash his power, a message in the Chat Group caught his attention.
[Death God Elementary Student]: "Damn, help! I've been tied up by a dangerous organization, and they forced me to swallow a pill. I feel like I'm about to pass out..."
After Death God Elementary Student sent the message, he went offline in the Chat Group. It was clear he'd passed out.
[World's Greatest Swordsman]: "? Then why hasn't the Chat Group sent out a rescue mission? By all rights, this new member should be in danger, shouldn't he?"
[Ninja World Asura]: "Foolish. Clearly, the Chat Group's assessment is that he'll be fine."
[Godslayer in the Mental Hospital]: "I've only just started training over here, so I can't help either! But since Madara said that, it should be fine. I hope the new member's all right."
[Arataki Gang Boss]: "Oh, no! Why does something keep happening? Why does this Chat Group run into trouble so often? Did I get myself into a scam or something?"
While Arataki Itto was playing bug battles with the kids, he suddenly shouted. The two Onikabuto they'd been pitting against each other were startled and scurried off in all directions.
The kids nearby saw Arataki Itto suddenly shout and assumed he was a sore loser. They snatched his Onikabuto and ran off, leaving him standing there with a baffled look on his face.
