Defeating Turles

"Hmph. You're the one who took care of my men?"

Turles sneered.

While his corps had been fighting the others, he had watched everyone's battles from the spaceship. Aside from Gohan, the one who surprised him most was this powerful young man.

Though Li Feng's strength had shocked him greatly at first, after he ate the Tree of Might Fruit and his combat power rose by leaps and bounds, he no longer took anyone seriously.

Wasn't Kakarot, who had used Kaioken to surpass him, lying on the ground now too?

"Enough talk. Die!"

Li Feng was ruthless and wasted no words. He immediately moved at high speed, turning into a white whirlwind as he charged at Turles.

Bang!

Turles and Li Feng's fists collided. The shockwave born from the wind of their punches shook the air, destroying some of the thick branches of the Tree of Might.

"Hmph. Is that all?"

Turles said disdainfully.

"Is that so?"

Li Feng also sneered. Then his aura erupted, his combat power rising in an instant. The sudden surge in speed left Turles unable to react.

Bang!

Li Feng struck Turles in the chin with an uppercut.

"Ah!—"

Turles let out a scream, both shocked and furious.

Da! Da! Da! Da! Da!—

Li Feng pressed his advantage without mercy, launching an even fiercer follow-up assault. Dozens of punches landed in a single second, beating Turles until he saw stars.

Finally, Li Feng flashed away and appeared above Turles. Clasping both fists together, he used the Dragon Ball series' most classic way of hammering someone down and smashed Turles viciously downward.

Rumble!

Even the incredibly broad and extremely tough Tree of Might was punched through by that terrifying impact!

Turles was like a sharp cone, directly piercing through layer after layer of thick Tree of Might trunks before smashing deep inside.

Boom!

After crashing through who knew how many trunks, Turles finally slowed down and burst out his aura to steady himself.

"Damn it!"

Turles gnashed his teeth. He could not believe there was still someone stronger than him now!

"Where's the Tree of Might Fruit?"

He searched for the Tree of Might Fruit in a panic, wanting to eat another one to raise his energy again.

"System, can this Tree of Might Fruit be taken an unlimited number of times?"

Li Feng saw Turles darting madly through the dense branches and knew he was avoiding him while searching for the Tree of Might Fruit.

"No. Each person can only take one. The increase in combat power is related to their own aptitude."

"Eating more won't have any effect."

So that's how it is.

Li Feng thought.

It seemed relying on external forces to raise combat power was still not the way to go.

He was curious too. If he ate the fruit himself, just how much would his strength grow?

"Hahaha! Found it!"

While fleeing, Turles discovered another fruit. He immediately plucked it and ate it.

Boom!

Turles's aura recovered again, and it was a little stronger than before.

"Huh? Didn't you say each person can only eat one? How did he get stronger again when he ate a second one?"

Li Feng asked the system in confusion.

"Because he didn't finish the first one when he ate it."

"..."

"Bastard, you're wasting food!"

Li Feng looked at Turles with his Scouter. His combat power had risen to 400,000.

"Hahaha! Die!"

Turles regained his arrogant manner once more and charged back at Li Feng.

Just when he thought Li Feng would be sent flying by him and then beaten to a pulp, a merciless fist shattered his fantasy again.

Bang!

However fast Turles had charged at Li Feng, in the next second he flew back at the same speed.

Li Feng immediately moved at high speed as well, instantly arriving behind Turles, then sent him flying with another kick, making Turles continue flying backward in a different direction.

Mm, Li Feng had already completely learned the essence of fighting in Dragon Ball.

At the start, you first rushed in, traded punches, tested each other out, then if you were stronger, you sent the opponent flying, closed in and hammered them wildly, and finally clasped both hands together to smash them into the ground, completing the first stage of the bout.

Then, after both sides sprayed trash talk at each other and began the next stage of the fight, if you were still stronger than the other party, you beat them up like a punching bag or smacked them around like a volleyball.

Gotenks: nodded in agreement.

Next, the opponent would definitely transform or use their true strength, overtake you again, and then laugh loudly.

In the end, it usually finished with a beam clash, then ended after a plot kill.

Right now, it should have been the stage where he treated the opponent like a punching bag. Unfortunately, that punching bag no longer had another chance to become stronger.

Turles: I don't fight cheaters.

Li Feng: No, you really want to. Every time you act cool, you get beaten flat.

Vegeta: Why did cold sweat appear on my back?

"Ah!—"

Turles shouted.

Then he brought his hands together and condensed a large purple energy ball.

Rumble!

Turles's aura erupted, and the energy and shock waves he emitted shook the Tree of Might, causing its branches to be destroyed continuously.

That was about enough. The Tree of Might had absorbed too much energy. If this went on, Earth would wither.

Li Feng also grew serious. He placed his hands at his waist and began gathering energy.

"Die!"

Turles's purple aura erupted, and a terrifying beam of energy shot from his hands, charging straight at Li Feng.

"Kamehameha!"

Li Feng did not waste words and directly unleashed his strongest strike, the Kamehameha!

Boom!

The purple and blue beams of energy collided head-on, and the energy produced instantly destroyed all the vines in the middle.

But the two streams of energy did not remain deadlocked for even a second before the blue Kamehameha easily pushed the purple beam back, crushing through it like dry weeds.

"What?!"

Turles never dreamed that his strongest attack could not even hold out for a single second before it was pushed straight back at him.

"No!—"

Turles shouted in despair, but in the end, he was still mercilessly swallowed by the Kamehameha and turned to ash.

"Ding! Mission completed: defeat Turles."

"Mission reward: Tree of Might Fruit cultivation method."

"Claim?"

At that moment, the system's pleasant voice rang out.

"Yes."

Li Feng did not hesitate at all.

"Ding!"

Li Feng felt a burst of pain in his head, and a vast amount of knowledge regarding the Tree of Might flooded into his mind.

"So that's how it is. The reason the Tree of Might devours so much energy and destroys planets is that it itself is a divine tree. It cannot be planted in soil without divinity, or else it will absorb energy in massive quantities."

"As long as it is cultivated in land with divinity, the Tree of Might will grow normally and will not drain all of a planet's energy."

"If you want to stop the Tree of Might from growing, you only need to take away its core energy."

Li Feng suddenly understood. No wonder in the original work, when Wukong used the Spirit Bomb and borrowed the Tree of Might's energy, he destroyed the Tree of Might. He had stumbled onto the correct method by accident.

Now that he knew the specific situation, what he had to do was the same as in the original work: call Wukong over and forcibly take away the Tree of Might's energy, making the energy it had absorbed before return to Earth.
