As for the Gravity Manipulation Technique, it surprised him even more.
Just as its name suggested, the technique let him control gravity. It might not seem very useful, but it actually had a ton of applications!
What was the best piece of equipment for Saiyans in Dragon Ball? It wasn't the Dragon Balls or Senzu Beans. There was only one thing that could truly make a Saiyan's strength soar!
That was the Gravity Training Room.
The Gravity Manipulation Technique let him apply gravity to himself, and its limit would increase along with his strength. Wasn't that the same as carrying around a Gravity Training Room with no upper limit?
Amazing! Absolutely amazing!
And that wasn't all. He could also apply that gravity to his opponents, leaving them unable to move!
It would be incredibly useful in a fight!
All in all, Mu Yang was very pleased with what he had learned.
He was currently wearing the 100-times-gravity gear Whis had given him. If he used Gravity Manipulation on top of that, his body might not be able to take it.
So he set the technique aside for the time being and turned to the Body Tempering Method.
"Sit cross-legged, calm your mind, and engage every cell in your body."
Just as Mu Yang was about to follow the instructions in his mind, a sense of danger suddenly surged over him!!
He instinctively dodged to the side.
The next instant,
a Destruction Energy Ball burst through the door and shot toward where Mu Yang had just been. It tore through a wall, then exploded in the sky above the Destroyer God Realm!
Boom! Boom!
Mu Yang stared through the gaping hole at the spectacular explosion outside, sweat soaking the back of his clothes.
"Terrifying!"
At last, he understood what Whis had meant before leaving! Beerus snored in his sleep and sleepwalked. If anyone was unlucky, they could be destroyed without even realizing what had happened.
"Whis, you..."
Mu Yang felt a headache coming on and cursed Whis under his breath.
That bastard Whis could have put him in any room, but he'd picked the one right across from Beerus's! If anything happened to Beerus, Mu Yang would be the first to suffer!
Before he could finish speaking,
Bang!
Another Destruction Energy Ball came flying at him.
This time, Mu Yang was ready. He hurriedly dodged, ignoring the weight bearing down on his body, and used the Flight Technique to escape through the hole blasted in the wall.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three energy balls chased after him!
"Unlucky, unlucky, unlucky!"
Mu Yang glanced back at the three incoming Purple Destruction Bullets, his head aching. He gritted his teeth against the 100-times gravity and used his ki to accelerate.
Mu Yang turned. The Destruction Spheres turned with him.
"..."
Mu Yang didn't know what to say anymore.
The Ki Blasts were hot on his heels. What could he do? He could only grit his teeth and do his best to shake off the Purple Destruction Bullets.
He didn't want to find out what those Purple Destruction Bullets felt like! With his level of strength, if they hit him, not even ash would remain!
So Mu Yang could only fly with all his might!
He had no idea how long he'd been flying. He only knew that even after he ran out of ki, he forced himself to keep going, struggling to gather more ki and speed up.
Mu Yang glanced at the scenery below. He had no time to admire it; he was looking for someone.
If anyone could deal with those Ki Blasts, it was him.
"Where the hell is Whis?"
Mu Yang gritted his teeth and looked everywhere, but couldn't see him. He glanced back and saw that the three Purple Destruction Bullets were still chasing him, so he could only speed up again.
After who knew how long, Mu Yang felt like he couldn't summon even a shred of strength. Only then did he find Whis in a field of chrysanthemums.
Whis was holding a watering can, leisurely watering the flowers.
Seeing him, Mu Yang was so furious his teeth practically itched!
He was being chased around by three Destruction Ki Blasts, while Whis was just standing there, leisurely watering flowers?
Fuming, Mu Yang hurriedly flew down.
"Oh my, you're here."
Whis shaded his eyes with one hand and looked up at Mu Yang, who was flying toward him faster and faster. A gentle smile appeared on his face.
Mu Yang hurriedly landed, panting hard. He braced his hands on his knees, struggling to stay upright as beads of sweat poured down his face.
He couldn't worry about anything else. Gasping for breath, panic plain on his face, he blurted out, "Whis, quick!"
"What is it, Candidate Destroyer?"
Whis smiled mysteriously.
"There are three Destruction Ki Blasts chasing me!" Mu Yang looked at Whis, who seemed utterly at ease, and panted between words.
"I don't see any Ki Blasts behind you."
Whis glanced over Mu Yang's shoulder.
"What?"
Mu Yang turned around and saw that there really weren't any Ki Blasts. His eyes widened into little dots.
Only then did he realize that Whis had probably been messing with him!
Mu Yang knew full well that this was probably Whis's way of judging whether he was fit to be Universe 7's Candidate Destroyer. If he died, then everything would be over.
Mu Yang looked up at the smile on Whis's face and immediately understood that he must have passed the test.
He had survived the God of Destruction's Ki Blasts!
"Whis... you..."
"Mr. Mu Yang, some things are better left unsaid!"
This time, Whis didn't teasingly call him "Candidate Destroyer." He used Mu Yang's name instead.
Hearing the sincerity in Whis's words, Mu Yang understood what he meant. Some things didn't need to be said out loud.
"I understand."
"Our Candidate Destroyer has quite a gift for learning. Do you feel any different?"
Whis asked with a knowing smile.
Mu Yang sensed the ki surging through his body, and realized that even under 100-times gravity, he felt no different from usual.
Bang!
Mu Yang unleashed his ki.
Feeling the energy within his body, Mu Yang was both shocked and delighted. He stared in disbelief. "Is this my ki?"
Before coming to the Destroyer God Realm, his power level had been 3,000. Now it was around 180,000, on par with Son Goku using the 10-times Kaioken against Ginyu on Namek!
And how long had he been in the Destroyer God Realm? Not even an hour! In less than an hour, his power level had increased sixtyfold!
What an absurd figure!!
Mu Yang now understood how important it was to have a good teacher. He looked gratefully at Whis.
"Thank you, Whis."
"Think nothing of it, Mr. Mu Yang. You are, after all, Universe 7's Candidate Destroyer. Training a God of Destruction is part of an angel's duty."
Whis smiled, in high spirits, and replied with courteous humility.
"No matter what, I'll remember what you've done for me, Whis."
Mu Yang wasn't the kind of person to forget a kindness. He remembered those who treated him well, and those who treated him badly, too.
