Instant Transmission Acquired

The battle had yet to cease.

Son Goku caught his breath for a moment before erupting with energy once more.

A towering pillar of aura surged straight into the heavens.

Son Goku was incredibly excited; it had been a long time since he had encountered such a formidable foe.

Not since he defeated Frieza.

He had not felt pressure this heavy in ages.

Son Goku's current combat power was only five hundred million.

Yet, Lapis had just unleashed a combat power of eight hundred million.

Son Goku utilized High-Speed Movement, appearing instantly behind Lapis.

His fist, carrying a terrifying aura, slammed toward Lapis.

"Snap!"

As if Lapis had eyes in the back of his head, he reached out and caught the punch firmly.

He then pulled Son Goku's fist toward his chest while simultaneously driving his knee upward like a cannonball, smashing it fiercely into Son Goku's abdomen.

"Cough!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed from Son Goku's lips.

But Lapis gave him no time to catch his breath, following up with a heavy, powerful elbow strike to his back.

"BOOM!!"

Son Goku plummeted like a meteorite onto the Lookout, smashing a crater over a dozen meters deep.

"Dad!!"

Tears gushed from Gohan's eyes like an open faucet.

Seeing Goku beaten like this, he couldn't help but want to rush over.

"Gohan! I'm fine, don't come over."

Just then, Son Goku's voice drifted up from the crater, stopping Gohan in his tracks.

Son Goku pushed himself up with both hands.

His martial arts uniform was tattered and torn, with only his trousers barely holding together.

His body was covered in dense bruises and wounds, making him look incredibly disheveled.

Yet, the fighting spirit in his eyes had not diminished in the slightest.

"Haaah—!"

With a roar, Son Goku's aura returned to its peak.

He then extended two fingers of his left hand to his forehead.

His entire figure vanished from where he stood.

He reappeared instantly behind Lapis.

"Bang!"

A whip kick lashed out against Lapis's waist.

Instant Transmission.

Son Goku knew the gap between himself and Lapis was vast.

If he relied on High-Speed Movement, he would never be able to escape Lapis's senses.

Lapis was stronger than him, and by the same token, faster.

While High-Speed Movement was swift, it left a trail to follow.

Once Lapis sensed his aura, he could pinpoint his location with perfect clarity.

Instant Transmission was different.

Vanishing and reappearing in a heartbeat—it was a technique that transcended space.

There was no aura for the enemy to track.

By the time he reappeared, his attack had already arrived, leaving the enemy with no time to react.

Watching from below, Mo Yuan couldn't help but curl the corner of his lips.

This was exactly what he had been waiting for.

If Cell could learn a technique just by seeing it once, there was no reason Mo Yuan couldn't do the same.

Perhaps it was because he had fused with Son Goku's cells.

As Son Goku used Instant Transmission, Mo Yuan clearly sensed a strange energy fluctuation surrounding him.

It was a fluctuation belonging to spatial energy.

Mo Yuan closed his eyes and began to sense the spatial energy in his surroundings.

Next, Mo Yuan saw a wondrous world.

A world composed of dense, intricate spatial nodes.

However, these spatial nodes were all unknown.

If one were to step into them rashly, they might end up in dangerous areas, such as spatial rifts.

Therefore, one needed to rely on ki to locate the specific spatial node they wished to reach.

Otherwise, a single wrong step could lead to eternal damnation.

Mo Yuan was filled with pleasant surprise.

Although Instant Transmission could not be used as a conventional combat tactic, it could achieve unexpected results in special situations.

Just like how Son Goku had used Instant Transmission to strike Lapis earlier.

Mo Yuan opened his eyes, and a scene that shocked him unfolded.

Countless spatial nodes had actually appeared before his eyes.

Normally, spatial nodes would only appear within one's mind, making it impossible to know the physical location of a node.

But Mo Yuan could actually see the spatial nodes, which meant that wherever his gaze reached, he could use Instant Transmission at will.

He didn't need to rely on ki to perform Instant Transmission.

If this were the case, his Instant Transmission could become a conventional combat tactic.

Much like Hit's Time Skip.

In this way, his attacks would be like a ghost's, impossible for anyone to guard against.

Like a child who had just received a new toy, Mo Yuan couldn't help but want to test if this Instant Transmission was as he had imagined.

His first target was a spatial node two meters away.

Mo Yuan connected to that node, and his body instantly vanished from where he stood, reappearing two meters away.

"Success!!"

The experimental result did not disappoint Mo Yuan; the effect was no different from what he had expected.

In this way, although Mo Yuan's combat power had not increased, his practical combat ability had multiplied several times over.

"Right, let me try this as well."

Mo Yuan suddenly thought, if the ability of Mind's Eye could also see spatial nodes, wouldn't he be able to move freely within the range of his Mind's Eye?

Mo Yuan couldn't wait to activate Mind's Eye, and in an instant, the entire Earth was enveloped by it.

Sure enough, spatial nodes appeared one after another within his Mind's Eye.

Mo Yuan connected to a spatial node on the other side of the Earth, and his figure vanished instantly, reappearing in the place he had just seen.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Mo Yuan could no longer hold it back and burst into loud laughter.

With this ability, as long as the gap in strength wasn't too vast, he was practically invincible.

Calming his emotions, Mo Yuan used Mind's Eye to locate Lazuli and performed Instant Transmission.

Over there, Lazuli was still feeling puzzled.

How could a boyfriend as big as mine just go "pop" and disappear?

She sat on the steps, resting her chin in her hands, feeling sullen.

Isn't my wife cute?

However, it wasn't long before Mo Yuan appeared by her side again.

A flash of joy crossed Lazuli's eyes, but she remained composed on the surface: "Where did you go?"

Mo Yuan said excitedly: "Sister, I just learned Son Goku's Instant Transmission. I'll teach you this move in a bit. If you learn it, even if you encounter an enemy you can't beat in the future, you can use this ability to protect yourself."

Mo Yuan's first thought after learning Instant Transmission was to teach this ability to Lazuli.

After all, there were too many strong individuals in this world, and they couldn't possibly be glued together every day.

With Instant Transmission, even if Lazuli encountered an enemy she couldn't defeat, she could use it to escape.

Hearing Mo Yuan's words, Lazuli felt a warmth in her heart.

At this moment, the battle between Lapis and Son Goku was also nearing its end.

Although Son Goku had used Instant Transmission to catch Lapis off guard and land several hits, those painless, ticklish attacks meant nothing when they landed.

They were completely unable to injure Lapis.

Meanwhile, Son Goku himself had nearly exhausted all his ki during the prolonged battle.

Son Goku's eyes narrowed as he decided to give it one last shot.

After putting some distance between himself and Lapis, Son Goku placed his hands at his waist.

"Ka-me-ha-me-ha!"

A terrifying aura condensed between his palms, and a blue sphere of light emitted a blinding radiance.

"Whoosh!"

With his hands cupped, Son Goku unleashed the blue sphere, which transformed into a massive beam of light, surging toward Lapis with a terrifying pressure.

"Hahaha, it's useless, Son Goku!"

Lapis showed no fear, a green energy barrier enveloping his entire body.

"Tenfold Kaioken!!"

"Argh!!!"

"Ka-me-ha-me-ha!!"

Suddenly, a terrifying aura appeared behind Lapis.

A layer of red energy overlaid Son Goku's original golden aura.

His combat power, originally at 500 million, instantly skyrocketed to 5 billion.

An even more terrifying energy wave erupted from Son Goku's hands.

In his panic, Lapis had no time to react; his green energy barrier disintegrated the moment it touched the Kamehameha.

The power of the Kamehameha washed over Lapis's body.

Lapis's body began to crumble inch by inch under this horrific force.

Just as Lapis felt he was about to die, the energy suddenly vanished.

As it turned out, Son Goku's body could not withstand the pressure of stacking the Super Saiyan transformation with the Kaioken.

Having maintained it for a mere five seconds, his body was nearly shattered.

Son Goku could no longer even maintain his Flight Technique and plummeted from the sky.

However, Lapis was in no better shape.

In those five seconds, he had also been beaten to the point of severe injury.

Lapis watched Son Goku fall, his heart still racing with lingering fear.

That was close.

He had almost been finished off.
