They're All My Stepping Stones, I Have the Right to Be Arrogant

The other contestants surrounding Luo Chuan did not dare be the slightest bit careless as they stared at him.

The next second, their pupils widened, and then they all went flying one after another. The same question appeared in all their minds: why couldn't they see their opponent's attacks clearly?

Luo Chuan's figure flashed again. Immediately afterward came several muffled thuds, and he knocked those contestants out of the arena one by one.

However, two of them had actually dodged his attack, which surprised Luo Chuan a little.

They were contestants from Universe 10 and Universe 14. It could be said that both of them had been badly injured, because Luo Chuan's attack just now had carried tremendous force. The two of them had only managed to block it by using everything they had, thereby avoiding being hit.

In the spectator stands, the Gods of Destruction of Universe 10 and Universe 14 both looked rather grim. The situation was far from optimistic.

Unfortunately, the outcome was already decided. No matter how these two contestants struggled, they could not escape elimination.

Luo Chuan took one step forward and instantly arrived in front of the two contestants. Under their terrified gazes, he pressed both hands against their stomachs and released force from his palms. The two contestants' eyes went wide, and with a "wah," they spat out a mouthful of blood and flew away, falling out of the arena in a perfect arc.

All the contestants from these two universes had also been eliminated, so the two Grand Zenos acted at the same time and erased the two universes. The scores of these two universes were also 3.6.

Only then did Luo Chuan look back at the place where he had just stepped on someone, only to find that contestant was already gone.

Luo Chuan loosened up his muscles and bones, let out a low shout, and erupted with a dense golden aura, instantly transforming into Super Saiyan 5.

The aura bursting from Super Saiyan 5 formed a gale that swept across the entire arena, and that immense presence also made the whole World of Void tremble.

When he brought out this form, the hearts of the contestants from every universe except Universe 7 sank. He was too strong. Even so, the eyes of a few true powerhouses flashed with sharp light.

"Wow, he's amazing! Hey, hey, what kind of transformation is that? It looks so cool."

Grand Zeno 1's eyes shone as if he had found some new toy.

"Yeah, yeah, not only does it look cool, it feels really strong too."

Grand Zeno 2 showed almost the same expression.

The Grand Minister stroked his chin in thought, then suddenly revealed a faint smile and said, "I haven't seen this transformation of his before either. But I asked just now, and according to Luo Chuan himself, it's called Super Saiyan 5."

"So that's how it is. Hey, hey, Grand Minister, do you think he can last until the end?"

Grand Zeno 2 looked curiously at the Grand Minister.

"Well, that is hard to say. Hard to say."

The Grand Minister smiled and gave an ambiguous answer.

Grand Zeno 2 nodded as if he half understood, then continued watching the battle.

After completing his Super Saiyan 5 transformation, Luo Chuan's figure flickered as he rushed toward the other contestants and launched attacks against them. Those contestants also unleashed their strongest power one after another, and even some who had originally been enemies now joined forces to deal with him.

The energy these people erupted with and the attacks they launched were simply far too weak in his eyes.

His attack speed was as fast as lightning, making it impossible for them to catch him at all. As a series of collisions and explosions appeared, several more contestants were eliminated, and he even charged into the group of contestants fighting Son Goku and the others.

This move made Son Goku and the others want to curse at him. They were clearly their opponents, yet Luo Chuan had gotten carried away and started messing around like this.

A few minutes later, these contestants were also eliminated one after another. The opponents fighting Son Goku and the others were actually all very strong, but no matter how strong they were, they could not be stronger than Luo Chuan.

Forget them being unable to match Luo Chuan—even Son Goku, who had the protagonist halo, could not surpass Luo Chuan.

Besides, Luo Chuan had said that what came next was his solo show, so Son Goku and the others could forget about taking action.

After eliminating these people, he rushed toward the other contestants again.

The current Luo Chuan was like a wild wolf that had been hungry for a very long time, biting anyone he saw.

Another few minutes passed. There were only twenty minutes left before the hour was up, and by now Luo Chuan had already eliminated all the contestants from Universe 2, Universe 5, Universe 13, and Universe 12.

After going through the motions, the Grand Zenos clenched their little hands, and these four major universes disappeared as well. Among them, Universe 2 and Universe 5 had failed to reach a score of 3, so they could not be revived. Only Universe 12 and Universe 13 had scores above 3 and could be revived.

At this point, only the contestants from Universe 11, Universe 15, Universe 3, Universe 6, and Universe 7 remained on the arena.

Of course, the contestants from Universe 7 were still unique; not a single one of them had been eliminated. Although they had not been eliminated, Broly and Gohan were both in rather bad condition, because they had consumed too much energy.

The reason Universe 3 had been able to last until now mainly depended on the strength of its final fused warrior, Aniraza.

Aniraza glanced at Luo Chuan a few times and did not attack him. Instead, it launched an attack at Son Gohan and Broly. It was quite clever too, knowing how to pick on the easy targets.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast it was, it could not be faster than Luo Chuan. The instant it launched its attack, Luo Chuan instantly flashed over and knocked its attack away.

"Listen, big guy. In my solo show, you're nothing more than my stepping stone. You can only be defeated by me."

Luo Chuan seemed to be saying this to Aniraza, but the meaning was to tell the other contestants that they were also just tools for him.

"How arrogant. Hey, Universe 11, what do you think?"

The man from Universe 15 with a crew cut and a beard on his chin looked toward Jiren.

Jiren merely glanced at him and said nothing.

"Originally, the first person I wanted to fight was you. Looks like I can only put you in second place."

Just as the man was about to leave, his heavily injured companion grabbed his clothes.

"Fu'en, be careful. Whatever you do, don't get careless."

The man named Fu'en gave his companion a reassuring look, then flashed and arrived near Luo Chuan.

"You're not young, but your tone sure is big. Want me to be your stepping stone? You're way too arrogant."

As he spoke, his aura erupted, and he brought out his true strength. The commotion it caused was not much weaker than when Luo Chuan transformed into Super Saiyan 5.

A trace of surprise appeared on Luo Chuan's face. This man's combat power had broken past one million rang, reaching 11.03 million rang.

Among all the "people" Luo Chuan had encountered, he was the strongest. Even Jiren looked at him with new respect. Though he did, he still did not take him to heart. There were only three people he truly kept in mind: Luo Chuan, Son Goku, and Vegeta.

"Didn't expect you to have hidden yourself this deeply," Luo Chuan said with a slight frown.

"What? Scared already? Where did all that arrogance and madness from before go?"

Seeing Luo Chuan like this, Fu'en thought he was afraid, so he opened his mouth to mock him.

Hearing that, Luo Chuan grinned, showing his bright white teeth. Then he raised his energy to full power, and the aura bursting from him made even the space of the World of Void warp slightly.

His combat power instantly soared to 15.8 million rang. Luo Chuan's figure flickered, and in the next moment, a crisp slap rang out. A clearly visible palm print appeared on Fu'en's face.

"Arrogant? That's because I have the capital to be arrogant."

He said it lightly, but every word revealed Luo Chuan's domineering confidence.

Fu'en's expression instantly darkened. Just now, he had only been careless and failed to dodge. Otherwise, how could that slap have landed?

And aside from a God of Destruction, no one had ever dared hit him like that.

From this, it was not hard to see that although Fu'en was powerful, he could not read the situation.
