That Adeptus Custodes: Come here for a one-on-one fight!

Axis looked at the Master of Mankind in shock. Did his Ki have this kind of function too? Enhancing the physical constitution of a Primarch!

That guy Russ had actually become stronger because of him. When he was first picked up by Russ, his combat power was 1,600, but now it had grown to approach the 2,000 mark.

A Primarch would not increase any physical attributes after reaching adulthood; on this point, the Master of Mankind could absolutely not be wrong, as the Primarchs were his own creations.

Yet, the power of Ki in the Dragon Ball World could indeed increase the physical constitution of a living being. When Kid Goku first appeared, he had no trouble taking bullets with his bare body.

Beyond the defensive capabilities of a Saiyan, the power of Ki was actually a contributing factor. While the living beings of this world could not absorb the power of Ki, when it flowed through their bodies, it nourished their cells and their physique, effectively enhancing their physical constitution in a roundabout way.

So, could his own Ki strengthen a person's physical constitution infinitely, or was there a limit?

"This power of yours is truly miraculous. Let's stop here for today. When I have time next, I will find someone else to come and test it with you. Caesar, take him down to rest," the Master of Mankind said. (The names of the Adeptus Custodes are all historical figures.)

The data obtained from today's tests was already sufficient; let this child have a good night's rest first.

Although there was no concept of time within the Warp, the spaceship still simulated gravity and alternated between night and day; this was a unique privilege of the Emperor's Dream.

"I understand, Master of Mankind. Then I will go down to rest first." Axis nodded and followed an Adeptus Custodes guard toward his assigned room.

After Axis entered the room, the Adeptus Custodes guard did not leave, choosing instead to stand at the door, motionless.

Looking at the Adeptus Custodes standing motionless at his door, the corner of Axis's mouth twitched. Even a Primarch probably didn't get this kind of treatment, right? Having an Adeptus Custodes guard my door.

Axis rested for a while, and soon a group of servitors pushed in a massive amount of food—enough for dozens of people.

The Master of Mankind was well aware of Axis's appetite; this kid's food intake was even more ferocious than Russ's. Calculated against a monster over 20 meters tall, his cells had an intense craving for energy.

After a satisfying, hearty meal, Axis greeted the Adeptus Custodes standing guard at the door and collapsed onto the bed to sleep.

Watching the sleeping Axis, the Adeptus Custodes guard frowned. Ordinary Adeptus Custodes didn't get this kind of treatment!

What exactly was so miraculous about this kid that he could make the Master of Mankind value him so much?

The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, after waking up, the Adeptus Custodes guard came to tell Axis that the Master of Mankind had no time to see him today.

The Master of Mankind was very busy; he had already pushed aside many matters to spend yesterday checking Axis's body.

Today, Axis could arrange his own schedule and tell him if he needed anything.

Axis thought for a moment and chose to have this Adeptus Custodes guard take him to the training room. How could he possibly stay holed up in his room all day?

The Adeptus Custodes nodded and brought Axis to the training room of the Emperor's Dream, the same place where he had tested the Saiyan weapons with Russ and the others that day.

"If I'm going to train, I can't do it without a suitable opponent, right?" Axis turned his head to look at the Adeptus Custodes beside him.

The combat power of an Adeptus Custodes was basically between 1,100 and 1,200.

His own combat power had now reached over 700 points. Relying on the formidable physical constitution of a Saiyan and the added power of Ki, Axis felt it was necessary to challenge the strength of an Adeptus Custodes.

The Adeptus Custodes looked at Axis with slight surprise. Did this kid want to spar with him? You're being a bit too arrogant, kid!

"I can find some training servitors to come over. The gap in our strength is quite large; you couldn't possibly be my opponent," the Adeptus Custodes guard said.

"No, no! I like fighting opponents who are evenly matched or a bit stronger than myself. The stronger the opponent, the better." Axis stretched his body on the training ground and then beckoned to the Adeptus Custodes in front of him.

What a waste to have a golden corn-cob standing guard for me! I have to make good use of him.

"Are you sure you want to fight me?" The Master of Mankind's order was to protect this kid personally and satisfy his basic needs, so if this kid requested a fight himself, he had no reason to refuse.

"Stop talking nonsense and bring it on," Axis said.

"Fine!" The Adeptus Custodes guard nodded, stuck his golden power weapon to the side, and summoned a team of servitors to help him remove his golden power armor.

Wearing only a set of black inner armor, he stretched his body and stood before Axis.

At this moment, Axis finally saw the face of the Adeptus Custodes who had stood guard for him all day: a bald giant, three meters and one centimeter tall.

Axis took a deep breath, the Ki within his body began to flow, and a faint blue halo appeared around him, wrapping the Ki on his body surface to form an aura.

Caesar the Adeptus Custodes narrowed his eyes slightly; he could feel a strange energy fluctuation permeating the air, a power he had never encountered before.

It seems this is getting a little interesting. Should I hold back, or should I not?

"Are you ready?"

"Come on!" Caesar's voice was low and powerful. His muscles bulged slightly under the black inner armor, like a beast poised to strike.

Axis smiled slightly, leaned forward, and assumed a fighting stance.

Caesar said no more, his figure instantly vanishing from where he stood, his speed almost impossible to capture with the naked eye.

But Axis's perception had long since transcended the limitations of vision; relying on the flow of Ki, he precisely captured the trajectory of Caesar's attack.

Left! Axis thought, his body shifting rapidly to the side. Caesar's massive fist grazed his clothing, whipping up a gust of wind.

A flash of surprise crossed Caesar's eyes, but he did not stop his offensive, following up with a sweeping kick toward Axis's waist. Axis tapped his feet lightly, leaping up as light as a feather to evade the strike.

Axis flipped in the air and landed steadily with a confident smile on his face. I've been sparring with Russ for so long, don't underestimate me.

Caesar snorted coldly and launched another attack, his punches even fiercer, each strike whistling as it tore through the air.

Yet Axis moved as nimbly as a fish, weaving through the gaps in Caesar's attacks and occasionally forcing Caesar to retreat with swift counterattacks.

This kid's reaction speed... it's simply incredible! And his combat experience is extremely rich.
