With one foot planted on the ground, Li Xing tore through the air and came to a stop before Sun Wukong.
Who was Sun Wukong?
When it came to fighting, he couldn't have been more eager.
He immediately spoke, brimming with excitement.
"Do you want to fight?
I'm not afraid of you."
Li Xing felt the same way. Without needing to say a word, the two of them began trading blows.
Li Xing held back his power as he exchanged blows with Sun Wukong.
Bang.
They were both knocked backward, leaving a crater with each step.
"You're pretty strong."
Sun Wukong shook his numb hand, his little face full of excitement.
Li Xing wore a faint smile beneath his Black Armor as well.
Sun Wukong's battle power had increased a lot.
According to the scanner built into the black armor formed from the Nano Heavy Armor, Sun Wukong's current battle power had astonishingly reached 180.
After all, the first Martial Arts Tournament had only just ended. There were still more than two years until the next one—almost three, in fact.
Sun Wukong's battle power had already reached the level he'd need for the next tournament.
If that guy kept working this hard,
could his battle power reach 220 by the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament?
Would this push from Li Xing get him all the way to 260?
If so, how was King Piccolo supposed to fight Sun Wukong? Wouldn't he be done for?
Li Xing fixed his gaze on Sun Wukong's flushed face and charged at him again.
Light gathered in his hand, surging toward Sun Wukong with overwhelming force.
He wasn't worried about Sun Wukong getting stronger.
As long as he could keep fighting opponents of roughly equal strength, everything would be fine.
With his physique multiplying in strength, it wasn't impossible for him to catch up with the Saiyans' exponential growth.
Boom!
"You're so strong."
Hearing Sun Wukong say it again, Li Xing shifted his body and pressed closer, striking without holding back.
He kicked straight at Sun Wukong's face.
"Can I train with you?"
Li Xing didn't answer.
As if.
Sun Wukong was his training partner, not someone he was going to train alongside.
All he needed was to fight Sun Wukong.
Seeing that the fight wasn't going smoothly, Li Xing grew a little frustrated.
He couldn't cut loose or use his full strength, and it annoyed him.
His abilities surged.
"Wisdom, activate the Gravity Field."
"Understood, Engineer."
As Wisdom's voice fell, Li Xing felt his whole body grow heavy, as though he were wearing armor weighing a thousand pounds.
The weight was stifling, almost making it hard to breathe.
One times gravity.
At that moment, the pressure greatly affected Li Xing's strength.
Fortunately, he had excellent control, and with the Black Armor's help, the suppression of his strength wasn't much of a problem.
He could still fight Sun Wukong.
"Hey, why did your strength suddenly drop so much?"
Sun Wukong had been at a disadvantage. When he sensed that Li Xing's attacks had suddenly weakened, he called out loudly to ask.
Li Xing wasn't annoyed. He was gradually getting used to it.
He was only doing this because he was facing Sun Wukong. Against any other martial artist, he wouldn't have bothered.
"Sun Wukong, fight me for a while."
"Huh? You know who I am? How do you know me?"
"Why wouldn't I know who you are? Shouldn't you be asking me that?"
Li Xing didn't answer.
He gradually began to put more force into his attacks.
After increasing his strength, his battle power could rise quickly.
For example, he currently had only around 160 units of energy. Every 0.1 increase in his physique raised his strength by about 16.
In a few years, when his energy reached over ten thousand, every use of Devouring Power would increase his battle power by more than a thousand.
Li Xing himself would never lack battle power.
This kind of weighted training worked very well for him.
"Hey, big black guy, you're so strong. Why do bad things?"
Li Xing threw a punch.
Half an hour later, Li Xing and Sun Wukong sat sprawled on the grass, panting.
Ha,
ha,
ha.
"That feels great."
Li Xing was hidden inside the Black Armor. Its life-support system had been running for a while. Though he wasn't drenched in sweat like Sun Wukong, his face was still flushed.
"You really are a monster."
Ha +3.
"You've got some nerve calling me that. You're the monster, aren't you? You still haven't used your full strength."
Li Xing smiled.
"You noticed?"
"Of course. I could tell as soon as your strength weakened."
Li Xing wore a satisfied smile.
He didn't say anything else.
"Then you're pretty smart."
"Hehe, everyone says I'm stupid."
Li Xing didn't respond to that.
"Sun Wukong, can I borrow your Dragon Ball?"
Sun Wukong tilted his head.
"What for?"
Li Xing looked up at the night sky.
"Sun Wukong, you're strong, but you still have a long way to go.
I don't have enough opponents."
Sun Wukong's eyes lit up.
"Really? Then I'll train with you!"
Li Xing shook his head and turned him down outright.
"Your path doesn't lie with me."
Li Xing rejected him directly, then continued in an unhurried voice.
"Sun Wukong, I need to gain all the martial arts knowledge on Earth, then train myself and head up there."
Li Xing pointed upward.
"Up there?"
Sun Wukong stared at the cloudless sky in confusion.
"What does that mean? I don't get it."
Li Xing didn't explain. He stood up and dusted off his pants.
"Anyway, are you willing to help me? If you are, lend it to me for a while.
If you're not, then I'll have to take it."
Sun Wukong didn't refuse. With a grin, he pulled the Dragon Ball out of the little pouch at his side.
"Here, you can borrow it, but you have to give it back when you're done.
This is my grandpa."
Li Xing felt a little awkward, but didn't refuse.
He reached out and took it.
He opened the Black Armor, revealing a small space inside.
It was an expansion space built into the Black Armor. It worked much better than a Hoi-Poi Capsule, but its cost and complexity were also far greater.
He gathered all seven Dragon Balls.
"Wow, how can you put them away? Bulma's Hoi-Poi Capsules can't hold Dragon Balls!"
Li Xing ignored Sun Wukong's amazement.
He looked at the Dragon Balls.
"Come forth, Shenron."
Roar!
The seven Dragon Balls shone brightly, converging as a massive pillar of light shot toward the sky.
In an instant, the sky turned pitch-black. They couldn't see their hands in front of them.
Sun Wukong stared at the enormous Shenron, stunned.
"Wow, he's huge! He really looks huge from down here."
Sun Wukong waved his arms and shouted excitedly at Shenron.
Shenron looked down with glowing red eyes.
"Speak your wish. No matter what it is, I can make it come true."
Li Xing clearly heard Sun Wukong swallow.
Knowing what a glutton he was, Li Xing couldn't risk letting him speak.
"Shenron, I wish to master all the martial arts knowledge on Earth."
Li Xing hurriedly made his wish.
Damn!
If Sun Wukong wished for something tasty, Li Xing would be furious.
So he made his wish first.
Sun Wukong pouted.
"Li Xing, why didn't you wish for something tasty?"
Li Xing's face darkened.
As expected, he'd called it.
"Wait until Shenron grants my wish. To make it up to you, I'll treat you to something delicious."
Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, and he started drooling.
"R-really?"
Li Xing was speechless.
As chairman of the Laser Group, was he really going to worry about the little bit Sun Wukong ate?
