Top Experts! Cassius with 3000 Combat Power Descends, Combat Power Surges Past 3000!

The mountain breeze drifted gently through the air, dispersing the lingering energy fluctuations and scent of blood. Yet the giant crater dozens of meters deep in the clearing and the wreckage of the warship reduced to scrap metal still spoke of the earth-shaking battle that had just taken place. Ximen Qing took small steps along the path toward the cave, faint golden energy swirling around him as his power level of 2480 subtly radiated outward. With every step he took, slight ripples spread across the ground, displaying his formidable strength.

Grandpa Gohan followed closely behind him, the reverence on his face not diminished in the slightest. From time to time, he looked up at Ximen Qing beside him, his eyes full of affection and pride. The sight of the Super Ki Cannon instantly killing Modo still echoed in his mind. That world-destroying power had long since been etched into his heart, making him believe even more firmly that as long as Ximen Qing was there, they would never be in danger.

"Grandpa Gohan, once we get back to the cave, I'll test the power of Extreme Amplification first. Then I'll combine it with the Super Ki Cannon and see if I can flatten that little mountain beside us!" Ximen Qing turned around and flashed Grandpa Gohan an arrogant grin, his soft childish voice brimming with excitement. "The Super Ki Cannon's proficiency has increased now, so it uses less energy and has a wider range. Add Extreme Amplification on top of that, and its power will definitely double!"

"Alright! Alright! Grandpa will listen to you!" Grandpa Gohan nodded hurriedly, his tone filled with anticipation. "Grandpa wants to see just how powerful the Super Ki Cannon is with Extreme Amplification supporting it. Can it really flatten a small mountain?"

The two chatted and laughed as they quickly returned to the cave. It was still warm and quiet inside, with the straw bedding laid out neatly. Ximen Qing leaped onto it, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes. With a thought, he instantly activated the ultimate form of his innate talent—Extreme Amplification!

In an instant, a force far stronger and more violent than Full Power Amplification erupted from within him. The golden energy around him became denser and more dazzling, like blazing flames. His power level soared directly from 2480 to 3224, instantly breaking through the 3000 mark. An overwhelming, terrifying pressure erupted from within the cave and spread in every direction. Even the cave walls trembled slightly as bits of stone rained down.

Startled by the sudden eruption of pressure, Grandpa Gohan hurriedly staggered back two steps and braced himself against the cave wall before barely managing to steady himself. Extreme shock appeared on his face again as he kept muttering, "Over 3000 power level... too terrifying... Is this the power of Extreme Amplification? Just activating it pushes the power level past 3000..."

Ximen Qing slowly opened his eyes, golden light flashing through them. Feeling the violent power within his body, he curled his lips into an arrogant smile. "Great! Extreme Amplification really is powerful. After activating it, my power level jumped straight to 3224. It's even stronger than I expected!"

As he spoke, a thought crossed his mind, and Advanced Ki Sense began operating at full force. The energy around his body streamed continuously into his palm, instantly condensing into a giant white cannon blast larger and more powerful than before. Its surface was wrapped in dazzling golden light, mixed with faint black energy and even a trace of weak red patterns. It contained power capable of destroying heaven and earth—this was the Super Ki Cannon empowered by Extreme Amplification. Its power was four times that of the beginner-level Super Ki Cannon, enough to easily contend against an expert with a power level of 3000!

"Now's the time. Let's test its power!" Ximen Qing roared as he raised his hand and fiercely blasted the Super Ki Cannon in his palm toward the clearing outside the cave. He deliberately controlled its power to avoid affecting the cave and Grandpa Gohan.

Boom—!!!

A thunderous explosion shook the entire valley. The Super Ki Cannon crashed viciously into the clearing, and an utterly terrifying shockwave swept madly outward in all directions. The ground was smashed into a huge crater dozens of meters wide and more than ten meters deep. The ancient trees around it were uprooted by the shockwave and ground into powder, while even the distant hills trembled slightly from the impact, sending rocks tumbling down!

Looking at the enormous crater outside the cave, Grandpa Gohan's shock was beyond words. He kept muttering, "Too terrifying... truly too terrifying... If that had been fired at full strength, it definitely could have flattened a small mountain with ease..."

Ximen Qing nodded in satisfaction and withdrew the energy from his palm. Extreme Amplification gradually deactivated, and his power level returned to 2480. His face was full of smugness. "Not bad, not bad. Its power really is impressive! Even if I run into an expert with a power level of 3000 in the future, I can still kill them easily!"

But just as his words fell, his enhanced Advanced Ki Sense suddenly detected an incomparably terrifying and violent energy rapidly approaching from the sky—this energy far surpassed all previous enemies, including Modo. It carried bone-chilling killing intent and the dense aura of a top Saiyan expert. Its crushing pressure descended toward the ground like a towering Mount Tai. Wherever it passed, the air was torn apart completely with sizzling sounds. Even the mountain breeze came to a standstill!

"Hm? A real tough one is coming!" Ximen Qing's expression changed slightly, and the smugness on his face instantly vanished. His eyes became cold and sharp as he activated Advanced Ki Sense to carefully examine the incoming aura. "Power level 3000? And this energy is several times stronger than Modo's. Looks like he's a top expert sent from the Saiyan home planet. It should be that Cassius!"

[ Ding! Notice: A top expert from the Saiyan home planet has been detected descending (tribe top combatant · Cassius). Power level: 3000. He belongs to the Saiyan Tribe's top combat squad and is one of the tribe leader's most trusted subordinates. He possesses formidable strength and specializes in the top killing technique "Shadow Destruction Fist," which has terrifying power. He intends to kill the host, avenge Modo and the Locke Squad, and bring the host's corpse and bloodline back to the Saiyan home planet for the tribe leader's disposal. Host, prepare for battle immediately! ]

The system notification sounded at just the right moment. Ximen Qing's eyes lit up, and the coldness on his face was instantly replaced by intense excitement. He curled his lips into an arrogant smile. "A top expert with 3000 power level? Great! Perfect timing to test the full power of my Extreme Amplification plus Super Ki Cannon. I'll kill you in one shot, earn a huge pile of experience, and stabilize my power level above 3000!"

The terrifying pressure that had suddenly descended made Grandpa Gohan tremble all over. His face turned as pale as paper as he hurried to Ximen Qing's side and tightly grabbed his little hand. "Ximen Qing, such... such powerful energy! It's far stronger than that Modo! We... we should hide quickly! This enemy is too terrifying!"

"Hide from what?" Ximen Qing patted Grandpa Gohan's hand, his face full of dominance and his voice resolute. "He's just a top expert with a power level of 3000. Even if he's powerful and has a top killing technique, I can still kill him easily! Grandpa Gohan, just wait in the cave and watch how I use Extreme Amplification plus the Super Ki Cannon to blast him into pieces. Then you'll see my true power!"

With that, he hesitated no longer. He gently pulled free from Grandpa Gohan's hand, activated Advanced Ki Sense, and his small body flashed forward. In an instant, he shot out of the cave and soared into the sky, hovering in midair with his gaze locked firmly on the distance. A black figure was flying toward him at incredible speed, more than twice as fast as Modo. Dense black energy swirled around it, mixed with faint red patterns. Its pressure was terrifyingly powerful, and subtle ripples spread through space wherever it passed, fully displaying the frightening strength of a top expert!

A moment later, the black figure slowly stopped before Ximen Qing, hovering in the air as they stared at each other. He was even more muscular than Modo, standing around 2.8 meters tall. He wore a black top-combatant battle suit embroidered with red Saiyan elite patterns, while a red elite combat badge hung on his chest. His face was savage, and a vicious scar stretched across his forehead. His eyes were as cold as ten-thousand-year ice, and violent energy radiated from his body. His power level was exactly 3000, twice as strong as Modo!

He was Cassius, a top expert of the Saiyan Tribe. With a power level of 3000, he was one of the tribe leader's most trusted subordinates. He possessed formidable strength and specialized in the top killing technique, Shadow Destruction Fist. Its power was several times greater than Modo's royal Black Wind Fist, allowing him to easily kill the leader's guards with power levels of 1500 and even contend against experts with power levels of 2000. This time, upon receiving the leader's order, he had personally come to Earth to kill Ximen Qing, avenge Modo and the Locke Squad, and bring Ximen Qing's corpse and bloodline back to the home planet.

Cassius lowered his head, his gaze fixed on Ximen Qing floating before him. His eyes were filled with coldness and killing intent, along with a trace of barely concealed shock and disdain. His tone carried crushing pressure. "So it was you? This infant actually killed Modo, slaughtered the Locke Squad, and destroyed the tribe's elite warship? And your power level has reached 2480?"

On his way to Earth, he had already learned through his detector that Modo and the Locke Squad had been wiped out and that the warship had been destroyed. He had also learned of Ximen Qing's power level. When he saw the reading of 2480 on the detector, he had been deeply shocked. He had never imagined that an infant could reach such a level in such a short time. Not even the greatest prodigy in the Saiyan Tribe could possibly accomplish that!

Yet beyond his shock, he felt even greater contempt and killing intent. In his view, although Ximen Qing possessed a formidable power level of 2480 and had unlocked Extreme Amplification and the Super Ki Cannon, he was ultimately just an infant who had no idea how to skillfully wield such powerful strength. Furthermore, Cassius was a top expert with a power level of 3000 and possessed a top killing technique. Even if Ximen Qing activated Extreme Amplification and exceeded 3000 power level, he could never be Cassius's match. Cassius could easily take him down, tear him to pieces, and avenge Modo and the Locke Squad!

"So what if it was me?" Ximen Qing hovered in the air, entirely unaffected by Cassius's pressure. With the royal aura immunity ability supporting him, he could completely ignore the royal pressure of Saiyans. Even though Cassius was strong and his pressure was terrifying, he could not affect Ximen Qing in the slightest. "Modo, Locke, and their men were all killed by me. I destroyed the warship too. Who told them to provoke me and try to investigate me? Today will be no different for you. Since you came, don't even think about leaving alive. Go keep them company and become a stepping stone for raising my power level!"

"You arrogant little brat!" Upon hearing this, the disdain in Cassius's eyes was instantly replaced by extreme fury. The energy around his body became even more violent as he released all 3000 of his power level without restraint. A crushing pressure several times stronger than Modo's bore down viciously upon Ximen Qing. "Even if you have a power level of 2480 and have unlocked Extreme Amplification and the Super Ki Cannon, you're still only an infant! I am a top expert of the tribe, with a power level of 3000 and a top killing technique in hand. Today, I'll make sure you die without a burial, tear you into pieces, extract your bloodline, and avenge Modo and the Locke Squad!"

After saying that, Cassius hesitated no longer. He activated all 3000 of his power level, and the black energy around him instantly became as dense as ink, mixed with faint red patterns. He flashed forward, his body moving at a terrifying speed and leaving trails of black afterimages as he rushed toward Ximen Qing. At the same time, he clenched his fist and concentrated all 3000 power level into it. Dense black energy swirled around his fist, mixed with red destructive power. Carrying killing intent capable of destroying heaven and earth, it smashed viciously toward Ximen Qing's chest—this punch was his top killing technique, Shadow Destruction Fist. Its power was enough to easily kill the leader's guards with power levels of 1500. Even an expert with a power level of 2000 would be severely injured or instantly killed!

"Oh? You actually dare attack me first? And you're even using your top killing technique? You've got some skill, but unfortunately, you're too weak!" Ximen Qing sneered, his eyes full of contempt and without the slightest trace of panic. With a thought, he instantly activated the ultimate form of his innate talent—Extreme Amplification!

In an instant, incomparably violent power erupted from Ximen Qing's body. The golden energy around him became denser and brighter, like a blazing sun. His power level soared directly from 2480 to 3224, firmly breaking past the 3000 threshold. Pressure even stronger than Cassius's crashed down fiercely upon him, instantly suppressing Cassius's own pressure!

At the same time, Advanced Ki Sense operated at full force. Energy streamed continuously from around his body toward his palm, instantly condensing into a giant white cannon blast. Its surface was wrapped in dazzling golden light, mixed with faint black energy and red patterns. It held power capable of destroying heaven and earth—this was the full-power Super Ki Cannon empowered by Extreme Amplification. Its power was four times that of the beginner-level Super Ki Cannon, enough to easily kill a top expert with a power level of 3000!

"Extreme Amplification activated! Super Ki Cannon, full-power annihilation! Die!"

Ximen Qing roared, his soft childish voice filled with murderous intent. Raising his hand, he fiercely hurled the Super Ki Cannon in his palm at Cassius's fist, intending to clash head-on with his top killing technique and kill him in one strike, stabilize his power level above 3000, and unlock even stronger abilities!

When Cassius saw Ximen Qing instantly activate Extreme Amplification, sending his power level soaring to 3224 while also condensing such a powerful Super Ki Cannon, his face instantly turned pale as paper. His pupils contracted to their limits, and the fury in his eyes was immediately replaced by extreme shock and terror. He had never imagined that Ximen Qing could activate Extreme Amplification so quickly. Worse still, after breaking through 3000 power level, he had become even stronger than Cassius himself. The Super Ki Cannon's power far exceeded what Cassius could withstand!

Instinctively, he wanted to pull back his fist and turn aside to dodge, but it was already too late. The Super Ki Cannon was too fast, far beyond his imagination. Moreover, his fist had already been thrown halfway forward, making it impossible to retract. He could only watch helplessly as the giant Super Ki Cannon, carrying power capable of destroying heaven and earth, smashed viciously into his fist!

Boom—!!!

A deafening explosion that shook the heavens and earth erupted. The giant golden Super Ki Cannon and the black force of Shadow Destruction Fist clashed violently at the point of impact, madly annihilating one another. An utterly terrifying shockwave swept outward in every direction like an apocalyptic tsunami! The ground was smashed into a giant crater a hundred meters across and dozens of meters deep, its walls smooth as mirrors. Within several thousand meters, towering ancient trees were ripped out by the roots and crushed into dust by the shockwave. Distant hills were directly flattened into open plains, while even the clouds in the sky were scattered apart, revealing a stretch of crystal-clear blue sky!

Cassius felt an irresistible force of destruction sweep from his fist through his entire body in an instant. The energy of his 3000 power level collapsed and was annihilated under the impact of the Super Ki Cannon. The cracking sounds of his shattering bones were unbearably sharp, and the black energy around him receded like the tide. He let out an incomparably miserable scream that echoed through the valley, vomiting mouthfuls of black blood. His massive body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, smashing through several boulders and collapsing half a mountain wall before finally crashing heavily into the bottom of the giant crater. His body was mangled beyond recognition, leaving neither flesh nor bone intact. The energy around him completely dissipated, leaving not even a trace behind—an elite Saiyan expert with a power level of 3000, skilled in the top killing technique Shadow Destruction Fist, had been utterly helpless before Ximen Qing's Extreme Amplification plus Super Ki Cannon. He had been completely crushed from start to finish, without even a chance to struggle!

Inside the cave, Grandpa Gohan was violently battered by the terrifying shockwave. The cave walls shook intensely as stones rained down, and several massive rocks even fell from the ceiling. Fortunately, Ximen Qing had deliberately adjusted the attack's direction earlier, so the cave's central area had not been affected. Grandpa Gohan tightly covered his ears and curled up in a corner, his face pale as paper as his body trembled uncontrollably. His expression was filled with extreme shock and lingering fear as he kept muttering, "Too terrifying... Is this the full power of Extreme Amplification plus the Super Ki Cannon? One move... he actually killed a top expert with 3000 power level in one move... Ximen Qing, you really are a god..."

[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing Saiyan Tribe top expert · Cassius (power level: 3000). Huge experience reward obtained. Power level +800 (current power level: 3280)! ]

[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for firmly breaking through 3000 power level and unlocking the Saiyan core talent—Saiyan Burst (in critical moments, can temporarily unlock a 100% Power Amplification for 5 minutes; cooldown: 1 hour. Upon unlocking, the basic burst attribute is permanently activated)! ]

[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for completely annihilating the Saiyan home planet's three waves of advance squads (Cassius + Modo + Locke Squad), completing the hidden achievement—Earth Cleaner (Ultimate)! ]

[ Ding! It has been detected that the host has consecutively killed multiple waves of Saiyan experts (from a squad captain with 200 power level to a top expert with 3000 power level), unlocking the new passive skill—Power Suppression (when facing enemies with power levels lower than the host's, can actively suppress 30% of the enemy's power level; no cooldown)! ]

Additional rewards obtained: energy recovery speed increased by 50%, Advanced Ki Sense enhanced once again, sensing range expanded to 3000 meters, and preliminary Saiyan bloodline awakening unlocked (power level growth speed increased by 20%)! ]

A string of system notifications rang out in rapid succession, entering Ximen Qing's ears like heavenly music. An unprecedentedly violent warm current erupted from within him and swept through every cell in his body. Extreme comfort and strength flowed through his limbs and bones as the power within him surged madly like an erupting volcano, climbing from 2480 after Extreme Amplification deactivated all the way to 3580. It had increased by a full 1100 points, achieving a massive qualitative leap!

At the same time, Ximen Qing could clearly feel that his abilities had received an all-around upgrade. The core talent Saiyan Burst possessed terrifying power, allowing him to double his strength in a critical moment. The intermediate Super Ki Cannon was stronger, more energy-efficient, and had a wider range. The passive skill Power Suppression would allow him to easily control weaker enemies. His energy recovery speed, Advanced Ki Sense, and bloodline awakening speed had all increased. His overall strength had skyrocketed severalfold. He was no longer the little war god who could only crush low-power enemies. He now truly possessed the strength to contend against second-rate experts in the universe!

"Awesome! This is amazing!" Ximen Qing excitedly flipped several times in midair. The golden energy around him became denser and more dazzling, like a blazing sun. He released all 3580 power level without restraint, and crushing, terrifying pressure spread throughout the deep mountains and even farther beyond. Every bird and beast within 3000 meters had long since been scared out of their wits and fled. There was no longer a single unnecessary sound in the mountains, leaving only the dead silence after the shockwaves faded and the giant crater as proof of the astonishing peak battle that had just occurred!

He looked down at the giant hundred-meter-deep crater, his lips curling into an utterly arrogant smile. His soft childish voice was full of dominance as it echoed throughout the valley. "A top expert with 3000 power level was nothing more than someone I could kill in one move! My power level shot straight up to 3580, and I unlocked a core talent and Power Suppression. This haul was absolutely insane!"

"Frieza, Cell, Buu, just wait for me!" Ximen Qing raised his little head and looked toward the sky, his eyes filled with arrogance and anticipation, blazing light flickering in their depths. "I'm already at 3,580 power level now, and I have Intermediate Super Ki Cannon and Saiyan Burst in hand. Once I grind another wave of experience and awaken an even stronger Saiyan bloodline, I'll come settle the score with you. I'll pin every last one of you to the ground and grind you into the dirt. I'll let you taste the power of Intermediate Super Ki Cannon and show you who the strongest Saiyan in the universe is—who the true overlord of the universe is!"

Inside the cave, Grandpa Gohan took quite a while before he could barely crawl up from the corner. He dusted the dirt and rubble from himself, then staggered out of the cave. Looking at the golden-glowing, smug Ximen Qing in midair, then at the enormous crater a hundred meters deep in the ground, the shock on his face was beyond words. He kept muttering, "3,580 power level... Intermediate Super Ki Cannon... Saiyan Burst... Terrifying... truly terrifying... Ximen Qing, you're an omnipotent God of War, Grandpa's pride!"

He had now gone completely numb. The shock Ximen Qing brought him grew stronger each time. From instantly killing the Black Wind Bear, to wiping out the Locke Squad and Modo, to now instantly killing Cassius, a top powerhouse with 3,000 power level, raising his own power level to 3,580, and unlocking several powerful abilities—this tiny infant possessed strength beyond anything he could imagine. He had long since become the unshakable God of War in Grandpa Gohan's heart, as well as his only support!

Ximen Qing smiled. With a thought, Extreme Amplification slowly deactivated, and his power level stabilized at 3,580. The golden aura around him gradually softened somewhat. Activating Advanced Ki Sense, his tiny body flashed, and he instantly rushed before Grandpa Gohan. The arrogance faded from his face, replaced by a soft, adorable expression. "Grandpa Gohan, I'm fine, so don't be scared! The enemy has been completely one-shot by me. From now on, there won't be any more Saiyan lackeys coming to bother us anywhere on Earth!"

Grandpa Gohan hurriedly crouched down and carefully patted Ximen Qing's little head. His eyes were filled with reverence, affection, and emotion, and his voice was slightly choked. "Good! Good! As long as you're fine! As long as you're fine! Ximen Qing, you're incredible. Grandpa is proud of you! With you here, Grandpa isn't afraid of anything!"

Ximen Qing proudly lifted his little head and patted his chest, his face full of dominance. "Of course! With me around from now on, no one will dare bully us! Grandpa Gohan, let's go back and rest first. Once we've rested up, I'll try out the power of Intermediate Super Ki Cannon and see whether I can flatten several small mountains in one blast. Then I'll get more familiar with the newly unlocked Saiyan Burst and Power Suppression!"

"Alright! Alright! Grandpa will listen to you!" Grandpa Gohan nodded repeatedly and closely followed behind Ximen Qing, his eyes full of anticipation—he could hardly wait to witness the true power of Intermediate Super Ki Cannon and Saiyan Burst, to see just how many more surprises and shocks this "little God of War" could bring!

Ximen Qing smiled and took tiny steps toward the cave. The golden aura around him glowed faintly, and his power level of 3,580 radiated subtly as excitement and anticipation filled his eyes. But what he did not know was that on the distant Saiyan home planet, the tribal chief sat upon his throne, staring fixedly at the detector in his hand. His eyes were filled with coldness, killing intent, and disbelief. His aura became incomparably violent, causing the entire palace to tremble violently, while the gems on the throne rattled loose and fell!

"Cassius is dead! Cassius, with 3,000 power level, was actually killed by that innate Saiyan?!" the chief roared, his tone filled with fury and boundless hatred. His voice made the ceiling of the palace buzz. "3,580 power level?! An infant actually reached such heights in such a short time, and even unlocked the Saiyans' core talent?! Good! What an innate Saiyan!"

He clenched his fists so hard that his nails dug deeply into his palms, blood flowing freely. The killing intent in his eyes nearly overflowed. "It seems ordinary top powerhouses can no longer take down this little thing! In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless! Deliver my order: mobilize the tribe's ultimate fighting force. Have the tribal elder with 5,000 power level personally lead an elite squad to Earth. Even if they have to flatten the entire planet, they must tear this little thing to pieces, extract his Saiyan bloodline, and claim it for themselves, avenging Cassius, Modo, and the Locke Squad!"

As soon as his words fell, a figure outside the hall instantly accepted the order, flashed away, and vanished from the palace—an unprecedented crisis was rapidly closing in on Ximen Qing. The 5,000-power-level elder of the Saiyan Tribe was about to descend upon Earth!
