Soaring!

When Tien Shinhan and Nam arrived at the battlefield, they immediately caught the scent of death. Aside from the towering tree in the distance that blotted out the sky, there was no green vegetation left in the entire forest. All that remained were yellow sand and withered branches.

Tien Shinhan and Nam exchanged a glance, each seeing intense shock and confusion in the other's eyes.

What exactly had happened here?

Beneath the Tree of Might, Gohan had already dealt with Turles's subordinates, while Goku's Spirit Bomb was nearly complete.

The two of them stared fixedly at the two figures in the sky. They could clearly sense that both of their energies had instantly multiplied countless times over!

In the air.

Lin Yuan was feeling the changes within his body. Not only had the energy inside him suddenly increased severalfold, but even more incredibly, it had become purer, as though its impurities had been stripped away.

With a light clench of his fists, he felt as if he could crush the air itself.

Too strong!

That was how Lin Yuan felt.

Turles's energy was now far higher than Lin Yuan's, and his combat power had already reached 500,000!!

What did that mean? Turles's original combat power had been 25,000. After eating the Tree of Might's fruit, it had increased a full twentyfold.

Lin Yuan's combat power, meanwhile, had risen from 15,000 to 300,000!

This rate of increase could only be described as skyrocketing! The Tree of Might's fruit was truly absurd! If he could, Lin Yuan really wanted to get his hands on some seeds too...

Lin Yuan shook his head, tossing all those thoughts out of his mind.

Never mind whether Turles even had any Tree of Might seeds left—Lin Yuan simply disdained doing something so cruel and inhumane.

Though using the Tree of Might could raise combat power quickly, one had to understand that whenever one of those trees matured, it meant a planet had withered away.

If that planet had a small population and a poor ecological environment, then eating its fruit would provide only a minor increase in strength. To gain a large boost in combat power, one needed a vibrant planet with a good environment and a large population, like Earth.

But that would mean killing billions upon billions of lives in one go. Lin Yuan truly could not do something like that.

Turles probably hadn't understood this before. Otherwise, his combat power could not have risen so slowly. Or perhaps he simply hadn't found a suitable planet.

"Mm... this power is truly wonderful. What a pity. Such a beautiful planet has disappeared just like that. Hahahahaha!!"

Turles laughed maniacally. He could practically see himself ruling the entire universe already. Frieza could get the hell out of his way!

Turles's laughter pulled Lin Yuan back to reality. Looking at this guy who looked exactly like Goku yet possessed a completely opposite personality, Lin Yuan found him deeply unpleasant.

"Alright, Goku's Spirit Bomb is almost ready too. I should hurry up and finish you off. I've still got a mission to complete..."

Lin Yuan muttered softly, his voice just loud enough for Turles to hear.

The smile on Turles's face slowly turned cold. "You got lucky, kid, but it doesn't matter. I'm stronger than you. Once I kill you, Kakarot will be next!"

Hearing the confidence in his voice, Lin Yuan had almost believed him!

Man, did you forget that I can use that Kaio-ken thing? And you still dare act so cocky! Are all Saiyans like this? Does their intelligence drop once their strength increases?

"Sorry, but it seems you've forgotten that I can still transform!" Lin Yuan said teasingly, intending to mess with Turles a little.

Turles's expression immediately turned as awkward as if he had swallowed bran, though he still stubbornly blustered, "S-So what? Don't think you can scare me. If you could transform, you would've done it already!"

"Alright, as you wish. Kaio-ken!!!!"

With a soft shout from Lin Yuan, the muscles in his arms instantly swelled by a full size, and red energy flames rose from beneath his feet.

Lin Yuan did not rush to attack after activating Kaio-ken. Instead, he simply stared at Turles's face with an amused expression.

Turles's expression was like clear skies turning cloudy, then suddenly breaking into a downpour. "Damn it, even in this form, you probably can't defeat me in a short time, right? As long as I wait—"

"Oh? Is that so? Then, Kaio-ken... triple!" Lin Yuan cut off Turles's imminent boast and directly activated the threefold Kaio-ken, bringing his combat power to 900,000. Threefold was likely Lin Yuan's current limit.

"Alright! Transformation complete. Now I'll start attacking," Lin Yuan said in a low voice, his expression turning serious.

This time, Turles was completely dumbfounded. He did not even need to measure it to know that the person before him had become much, much, much stronger again! He had no chance of winning now.

"Damn it, then... how about this? From now on, you'll be the king of the Turles Corps. The entire corps will obey only your commands. Conquering the entire universe won't be a problem. How about it?" Turles tried to tempt Lin Yuan with the promise of ruling the universe.

In a flash, Lin Yuan appeared before Turles and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Ah, I'd like that too. Unfortunately, I have a mission to complete, so sorry!"

The moment he finished speaking, Lin Yuan drove a fist into Turles's stomach.

Turles instantly doubled over in pain, clutching his stomach with wide eyes. Run! I have to run!

Bursting forth with all his strength, Turles flew rapidly toward the spaceship. Lin Yuan did not hurry after him. Instead, he raised both hands where he stood, gathering energy slowly.

"Super—Absolute—Ultimate...!" Lin Yuan slowly pushed his hands forward. Just as the energy wave was about to roar forth, he suddenly vanished!

When he reappeared, Lin Yuan was already standing before Turles. Then—

"Cannon!!"

The violent energy wave roared out like a berserk dragon, instantly swallowing Turles's figure.

"Ding, congratulations, Host. You have completed the random mission: Defeat Turles! Reward obtained: Combat Power +20%, Bloodline Progress Bar +10%."

After Turles was dealt with, the Spirit Bomb was finally complete as well. Goku raised his hand and hurled the Spirit Bomb toward the roots of the Tree of Might.

The colossal tree, which even energy blasts with a combat power of 50,000 had been unable to shake, seemed to produce some sort of resonance upon colliding with that tiny ball of light.

In an instant, the entire trunk emitted a jade-white glow. Then the whole Tree of Might exploded with a thunderous roar, transforming into a milky-white storm like a galaxy that flew toward every corner of Earth!

Wherever the white light reached, the trees that had previously withered came back to life, flowers bloomed once more, and dying, weakened animals and humans regained their vitality.

Goku, Gohan, Tien Shinhan, Nam, and even Krillin, Yamcha, and the others who had just arrived all stared at the unbelievable sight before them in shock.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan checked the information panel. Seeing his combat power, he was incomparably excited!
