After the meal, the sky had already begun to darken.

Son Goku prepared to head home with his son and enthusiastically invited Li Lin to join them.

After all, they had already agreed to train together in the days to come.

If the distance between them were too great, it might prove inconvenient.

Li Lin pondered for a moment before agreeing to his proposal.

Before leaving, he specifically asked Bulma for a Hoi-Poi Capsule containing a living unit.

The next morning.

After Son Goku and Li Lin finished breakfast, the two prepared to spar.

However, just as they were ready to begin, Li Lin suddenly uttered something that left everyone stunned.

"Um, Goku. Let's not rush. Could you first teach me how to control Ki, and then show me a few basic techniques?"

Li Lin rubbed the back of his head, looking embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Son Goku's jaw nearly hit the floor. He stared wide-eyed and asked, "What do you mean? You mean you don't know how to control Ki yet, Li Lin?"

Li Lin's face flushed red as he nodded awkwardly.

Although he knew how to use attacks like the Ki Blast, he was truly clueless when it came to the mastery of Ki itself.

"Gulp." Goku swallowed hard, then pointed at Li Lin and asked, "Then why can't I sense any Ki coming from you? Isn't it because you've suppressed your energy?"

Goku was deeply puzzled; if Li Lin couldn't control Ki, why couldn't he sense the power within him?

Back when Vegeta didn't know about the existence of Ki, one could sense his presence from miles away.

"Er, perhaps my constitution is just a bit different."

Li Lin explained helplessly.

He recalled that among the talents he had acquired through the system was Body Shape Strength Reshaping, which was likely related to this.

Son Goku remained confused after hearing Li Lin's explanation, unable to make sense of it.

Fortunately, he wasn't the type to overthink things; after a moment of contemplation, he stopped dwelling on it.

"Alright then, I'll explain it to you. I might not be very good at it, so I hope you don't mind."

Son Goku said slowly.

Li Lin nodded with a smile and responded politely, "Not at all, you're being too modest."

His mind was currently capable of analyzing anything with extreme clarity.

He was confident that as long as it was explained once, he would be able to grasp it completely.

Seeing that Li Lin didn't mind, Son Goku began to speak slowly.

The explanation lasted for half an hour.

It must be said that if it came to fighting, Son Goku was absolutely an expert.

However, asking him to teach a lesson was truly a painful sight.

Fortunately, he was dealing with Li Lin, who possessed extraordinary comprehension skills.

Despite the stumbling and stuttering, he had managed to understand the gist of it.

"Whew!"

Once finished, both of them sighed in relief almost simultaneously.

"Li Lin, that's the end of it. You'll probably need to practice for a few days, so shall we start with a spar instead?"

Son Goku wiped the sweat from his forehead and suggested excitedly.

He remembered how much he had suffered at the hands of Kami back when he was learning to sense Ki.

If Li Lin wanted to master it completely, it would certainly take some time.

It was better to have a good fight now while he was already itching for action.

"Wait a moment." Li Lin said with a smile, then closed his eyes to sense the Ki within his body.

Son Goku frowned slightly, opening his mouth as if to say something.

But the next moment, the words caught in his throat.

Suddenly, a monstrous aura flooded the entire land.

With a deafening "boom," a white light erupted from Li Lin's body, shooting straight into the sky like a pillar reaching the heavens.

The entire space trembled under the pressure of that powerful aura, as if it were on the verge of collapse.

"This... this Ki. It's terrifying..."

Son Goku shivered, clenching his fists as he spoke with excitement.

He had assumed Li Lin would need some time to fully master Ki.

He never expected that not only would he master it after hearing it once, but he would also be able to unleash such a powerful aura.

"This is a terrifying kind of excitement."

Son Goku continued, his words trailing off.

The hair on his body stood on end and his frame began to tremble, yet the blood within his veins surged with extreme exhilaration.

Meanwhile, every corner of the Earth was saturated with this overwhelming aura.

Almost every powerhouse on the planet turned their gaze toward the same direction.

Piccolo was hovering in mid-air, meditating, but his expression was one of utter shock as he stared blankly into the distance. "What is this? How could there be such a terrifying presence?"

At Kame House, Krillin was training, but now cold sweat poured down his body, his eyes filled with shock. "Wh-whose aura is this? Damn it, it's... it's too terrifying!"

At Capsule Corp, Vegeta was training arduously in the gravity room.

Suddenly sensing this monstrous aura, his heart gave a violent jolt, and with a sudden burst of energy, he shattered the gravity room into pieces.

"Who is it? Who is this?"

Vegeta's eyes widened as he roared toward the sky.

The magnitude of this aura completely defied his understanding.

He was still striving to become a Super Saiyan, yet this presence far surpassed that of a Super Saiyan.

He was unwilling to accept this, and could only howl in fury!

On the Lookout.

Mr. Popo supported the elderly Guardian, his round eyes revealing deep fear.

"Haa!" The Guardian watched the events unfolding below and let out a long sigh, speaking slowly, "It's astonishing. I fear Goku is no match for this person!"

"Th-then what should we do?"

Mr. Popo asked, his face full of terror and his voice trembling.

Ever since the Saiyans arrived on Earth, everything that had occurred had spiraled beyond their control.

Now that such a powerful entity had emerged, if he intended any harm to the Earth, no one would be able to stop him.

"It is fine. Judging by this person's previous actions, he is not a great villain, so there is no need to worry."

The Guardian leaned on his cane, his voice raspy.

He believed Li Lin was a good man; from his elimination of Frieza to his decision to let those aliens go, he did not seem like a bad person.

In other words, even if this person were a great villain, what could they possibly do?

They could only watch in silence and pray to the heavens.

In Other World, on a small planet at the end of Snake Way.

North Kai's antennae were twitching frantically, his face etched with nervousness.

Sweat beads the size of soybeans dripped down from his forehead.

"Where on earth did this person come from? His strength is actually this terrifying."

North Kai's breathing was ragged as he muttered to himself in unease.
