Energy Block Found! Power Level Soars, Crushing the Mysterious Saiyan!

Ximen Qing floated in midair, his body wreathed in dense white aura. His Intermediate Ki Sense ran at full force, faintly radiating a power level of 350. His gaze was locked on the depths of the mountains—the pure aura of a Saiyan energy block lay 500 meters ahead, clearly distinguishable and showing no sign of concealment.

"The energy block is up ahead, Grandpa Gohan! Hurry and catch up!" Ximen Qing called over his shoulder to Grandpa Gohan, who was striding after him. His soft, childish voice was full of urgency and excitement. As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped waiting, activated Intermediate Ki Sense, and flashed forward. He flew even faster than before, like a white afterimage streaking toward the heart of the mountains.

Grandpa Gohan hurriedly quickened his pace and chased after him with all his strength, shouting as he ran, "Ximen Qing, slow down! Grandpa can't keep up!" Though he had hunted in the mountains year-round and possessed a sturdy build, how could he possibly match Ximen Qing, who could fly over short distances? After only a few steps, he was already panting heavily, fine cold sweat beading on his forehead. Yet as he watched Ximen Qing's retreating back, he gritted his teeth and refused to stop—he had to follow Ximen Qing and protect this little fellow who was like a war god.

Flying ahead, Ximen Qing occasionally looked back at Grandpa Gohan. Seeing him panting as he ran, Ximen Qing helplessly rolled his eyes and complained inwardly, Grandpa Gohan is way too slow. He's like a snail! Good thing I can fly now, or he'd drag me to death! Complaints aside, he still slowed down and waited for Grandpa Gohan. At the same time, he vigilantly sensed the surrounding area—with Intermediate Ki Sense enhancing him, nothing within 500 meters could escape his perception. He found no other dangerous auras, only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the occasional distant roar of wild beasts.

Before long, the two reached the depths of the mountains, exactly 500 meters from the cave. Ancient trees towered overhead, their branches and leaves dense. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the foliage, casting mottled shadows across the ground. The earth was covered in weeds and unknown wildflowers, while the air carried the fresh scent of vegetation mixed with a faint, pure energy aura—the aura emitted by the Saiyan Legacy Energy Block.

Ximen Qing's eyes lit up. He immediately stopped flying and slowly descended to the ground. Closing his eyes, he activated Intermediate Ki Sense once more and carefully searched for the energy block's precise location. A moment later, he abruptly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with wild joy, and ran toward a huge boulder nearby. "Found it! It's behind this boulder!"

Grandpa Gohan finally caught up as well. Leaning against a tree trunk and gasping for breath, he watched Ximen Qing's back with helpless affection on his face. "Ximen Qing, slow down. Don't run so fast—you might fall!"

Ximen Qing ignored Grandpa Gohan's warning and hurried behind the boulder. There, in the grass, lay a fist-sized golden crystal. It quietly emitted a faint golden glow, and the pure energy aura came from this crystal—the very Saiyan Legacy Energy Block mentioned by the system!

"So this is the Saiyan Legacy Energy Block? It looks so dazzling, and its energy is so pure!" Ximen Qing crouched down and carefully stretched out his soft little hand, lightly touching the energy block. A pure, warm energy instantly flowed in through his fingertips and entered his body. His whole body trembled as a pleasantly tingling sensation spread through his limbs and bones, even stronger than the warm current he had absorbed from the system's rewards before!

[ Ding! Detected that the host has come into contact with a Saiyan Legacy Energy Block. The energy block can be absorbed to increase power level and strengthen Ki Sense. Absorb immediately? ]

The system prompt sounded at just the right moment. Without even thinking, Ximen Qing shouted inwardly, Absorb it immediately! Hurry! I want to raise my power level—I want to become stronger!

[ Ding! Absorption begins! The Saiyan Legacy Energy Block contains pure Saiyan energy. Once absorption is complete, power level is expected to increase by 150–200 points, and Ki Sense will be slightly strengthened! ]

As the system prompt fell silent, the golden energy block instantly erupted with a dazzling golden radiance. Pure energy continuously poured into Ximen Qing's body, like a warm stream spreading into every cell. Ximen Qing closed his eyes and devoted himself completely to absorbing the energy. An expression of enjoyment appeared on his face, and from time to time, soft little "yiaah" sounds escaped his lips, making him seem utterly content.

Grandpa Gohan slowly walked around the boulder. When he saw the energy block glowing with golden light and Ximen Qing absorbing its energy, his eyes widened round, his face full of shock and confusion. "Th-that... what is that thing? How can it give off such strange light? Ximen Qing, he... what is he doing?"

He had lived his whole life and traveled throughout the mountains, yet he had never seen such a crystal, much less someone capable of absorbing a crystal's energy. But seeing Ximen Qing's blissful expression, he did not dare interrupt. He could only stand guard carefully nearby, alertly watching their surroundings to keep wild beasts or bad people from appearing and disturbing Ximen Qing's absorption.

Time passed little by little. The golden energy block's glow became dimmer and dimmer, and its pure energy rapidly dwindled. Meanwhile, Ximen Qing's power level soared at incredible speed—350, 380, 400, 450, 500... Every second, his power increased. The white aura around him also became denser and more substantial, while his Intermediate Ki Sense was continuously strengthened by the energy block's pure energy. Its sensing range showed faint signs of expanding as well.

Just then, Ximen Qing's Intermediate Ki Sense suddenly caught a familiar aura—its power level was around 100, carrying a trace of confusion and vigilance as it rapidly approached them. One hundred meters away, eighty meters, fifty meters... It was the mysterious Saiyan who had stared at his back at the end of Chapter 4!

"Hm? Someone's coming? Power level 100?" Ximen Qing abruptly opened his eyes, a flicker of caution crossing them before it was replaced by intense excitement. "It's actually that mysterious Saiyan! I didn't expect him to follow me here! Perfect. Once I finish absorbing the energy block, my power level will soar. I'll use him for practice and test my enhanced Ki Sense and the power of my new skill, Ki Blast. I can earn another wave of experience while I'm at it!"

As his words fell, the absorption speed within Ximen Qing's body increased again. Moments later, the final trace of pure energy flowed into him. The golden energy block instantly lost its glow, becoming a dull, ordinary crystal as it dropped into the grass.

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! Saiyan Legacy Energy Block absorbed successfully! ]

[ Ding! Power level increased by 180 points. Current power level: 530! ]

[ Ding! Ki Sense slightly strengthened. Intermediate Ki Sense has increased in power, and its sensing range has expanded to 600 meters! ]

As the system prompts sounded, an extremely powerful warm current burst from within Ximen Qing's body. He shot to his feet, and the white aura around him instantly became dense as mist. His power level of 530 was released without restraint, and a formidable pressure spread in all directions. The surrounding grass and leaves swayed gently beneath it, while even the distant roars of wild beasts became much fainter!

"Yes! This feels amazing! My power level shot straight up to 530, and my Ki Sense got stronger too!" Ximen Qing excitedly waved his little hands and stretched his body. He could clearly feel that his strength, speed, and reflexes had undergone a qualitative leap. He was more than twice as strong as before. Even against the mysterious Saiyan with a power level of 100, he could crush him with ease!

At that moment, a tall figure suddenly burst from the woods and landed before Ximen Qing and Grandpa Gohan—a huge, muscular man over two meters tall, dressed in a black combat suit speckled with bits of grass and leaves. His face was cold, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, and a faint vicious aura surrounded him. His power level was exactly 100. It was the mysterious Saiyan!

The mysterious Saiyan landed and immediately locked his eyes on Ximen Qing. His pupils suddenly shrank, and the confusion and caution on his face were instantly replaced by extreme shock. His body trembled faintly, and his tone was full of disbelief. "Y-you're just an infant, but your power level is actually this high? You were only at 350 just now. How did it soar to 530 in the blink of an eye? Who exactly are you?"

He had been following Ximen Qing from behind and observing cautiously. He had witnessed the entire process of Ximen Qing absorbing the energy block, but he simply could not understand it. An infant had actually absorbed a Saiyan Legacy Energy Block and increased his power level by nearly 200 points in such a short time. Ordinary Saiyans could never accomplish that. Even the geniuses of the Saiyan Tribe could not possibly possess such talent!

Beside him, Grandpa Gohan felt the mysterious Saiyan's vicious aura and Ximen Qing's formidable pressure. His body tensed in fright, and he instinctively stepped in front of Ximen Qing. His eyes were full of panic, but he still gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Y-you don't come any closer! Ximen Qing is very strong now. You're not his match, so leave now!"

The mysterious Saiyan came back to his senses and sneered. His gaze was full of mockery and disdain as he glanced at Grandpa Gohan, his voice cold and sinister. "An old bag of bones with a power level of only 5 dares act tough in front of me? Get lost right now, or I'll kill you first and then interrogate this strange infant properly!"

In his view, even if Ximen Qing's power level had risen to 530, he was still only an infant. Perhaps he had merely borrowed some external power and did not know how to wield it skillfully. With his own power level of 100, even if he could not defeat him, he could still easily handle him. And with a weak old man beside him, there was nothing to fear at all!

Ximen Qing gently pushed Grandpa Gohan aside and took small steps forward. He raised his little head, his eyes filled with cold arrogance, and his soft childish voice brimmed with killing intent. "Old bag of bones? You dare insult Grandpa Gohan? Looks like you're tired of living! I was just going to use you for practice, but now you've made me angry. Today, I'll show you exactly how terrifying a Saiyan with a power level of 530 can be!"

After saying that, Ximen Qing did not hesitate. Activating his enhanced Intermediate Ki Sense, his tiny body flashed forward with astonishing speed, instantly reaching the mysterious Saiyan—the power level of 530 combined with enhanced Intermediate Ki Sense made him far faster than the mysterious Saiyan with a power level of 100. The other man had no time to react!

The mysterious Saiyan's face changed drastically. His pupils contracted, and his eyes filled with disbelief. He had never imagined that Ximen Qing would be so fast—far more formidable than he had expected! He instinctively tried to raise his hands to defend himself, but it was already too late!

Ximen Qing's eyes were cold. Without the slightest hesitation, he clenched his soft little fist and gathered all 530 points of power in his palm. He did not use the Shock skill. Instead, with a thought, he activated his enhanced Intermediate Ki Sense and gathered the white aura around him into a ping-pong-ball-sized energy orb—the newly unlocked skill, Ki Blast!

"Since you dared provoke me, taste the power of my new skill! Ki Blast, blast him!" Ximen Qing roared, his soft childish voice filled with murderous intent. He raised his hand and viciously hurled the Ki Blast in his palm at the mysterious Saiyan's chest!

The Ki Blast tore through the air with a howling wind. It was incredibly fast, and the force of its passage bent the grass along its path. The white energy orb gleamed with a chilling light beneath the sun. It looked small, yet it contained terrifyingly immense power—a Ki Blast condensed from 530 points of power, far stronger than an ordinary attack!

The mysterious Saiyan was scared out of his wits. His entire body shook as he tried to dodge, but Ximen Qing was too fast, and the Ki Blast was even faster. He did not have time to move even half a step and could only watch helplessly as the Ki Blast slammed brutally into his chest!

"Bang—!"

A deafening explosion erupted instantly. An overwhelmingly powerful force burst from the Ki Blast and violently struck the mysterious Saiyan's body. He did not even have time to let out a miserable scream before his massive frame flew straight backward like a rag doll struck by a boulder. He crashed hard into an ancient tree behind him, and with a sharp crack, the tree—thick as a bowl—snapped in half as leaves and branches rained down!

The mysterious Saiyan crashed heavily to the ground, spraying a mouthful of blood from his lips. A small dent had been blasted into his chest by the Ki Blast. The vicious aura around him instantly vanished, and his power level rapidly dropped to zero. His body convulsed a few times, then his eyes lost their light completely. His aura was gone, and he did not even have the strength to struggle—just one Ki Blast had allowed Ximen Qing to effortlessly kill the mysterious Saiyan with a power level of 100. It was a complete crushing victory, leaving him no chance to fight back!

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! You have killed a mysterious Saiyan (power level 100). Experience reward obtained. Power level +50 (current power level: 580)! ]

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! You have killed an enemy with Ki Blast for the first time. Skill proficiency increased (current: Beginner → Elementary). Ki Blast power slightly increased! ]

[ Ding! Weak residual information detected from the mysterious Saiyan. New prompt unlocked: A Saiyan Tribe scout squad has arrived on Earth. More high-power scouts will come to investigate in the future. Please remain vigilant! ]

The system prompts sounded one after another. Another warm current flowed into Ximen Qing's body, causing his power level to soar again. Ki Blast proficiency also increased, and he had unlocked a new prompt regarding the Saiyan Tribe scout squad, instantly lifting his spirits!

"Yes! That was amazing!" Ximen Qing excitedly waved his little hands. With the help of his enhanced Intermediate Ki Sense, he slowly floated into the air. His face was filled with arrogance and delight, while his soft childish voice carried an overbearing confidence. "A power level of 530 really is incredible! One Ki Blast instantly killed that 100-power-level trash. My power level even rose to 580, and Ki Blast leveled up too!"

He looked down at the mysterious Saiyan's corpse, curled his lips, and spoke with utter disdain. "You dared mock me as a strange infant? You dared insult Grandpa Gohan? Now you know how strong I am, right? You were just a little nobody with a power level of 100, yet you dared act arrogant before me. You really overestimated yourself!"

Grandpa Gohan, standing nearby, had already frozen completely. His eyes were wide and round, and his mouth hung open wide enough to fit a fist inside. The shock on his face had reached its peak. Even his breathing became cautious as he kept muttering, "N-no way... Too terrifying... It's really too terrifying..."

He had thought that after Ximen Qing absorbed the energy block and raised his power level, he might at most defeat this mysterious Saiyan. But he never could have imagined that Ximen Qing would kill this seemingly incomparably powerful man in a single move! That tiny Ki Blast contained such horrifying power. This little infant was simply a born war god!

It took Grandpa Gohan quite some time to barely regain his senses. He staggered toward Ximen Qing and cautiously raised a hand, wanting to touch him but afraid of disturbing this "little war god." His eyes were filled with awe and worship. "X-Ximen Qing, you... you're incredible... You killed him with one move..."

Ximen Qing slowly landed on the ground and patted the dust off his hands—though there was no dust at all; he was just trying to look cool. With his hands on his hips and his little chest puffed out, he wore a domineering expression. "Of course! Who do you think I am? I'm a Saiyan who'll become the ruler of the universe. Taking care of a little nobody with a power level of 100 is as easy as lifting a hand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ximen Qing's Intermediate Ki Sense suddenly activated. Within a range of 600 meters, he sensed several more faint auras, each with a power level between 80 and 100, rapidly approaching from their direction. Clearly, they were members of the Saiyan Tribe scout squad mentioned by the system!

"Hm? More people are coming? Several of them, with power levels between 80 and 100?" Ximen Qing's eyes lit up, and excitement once again appeared on his face. His gaze brimmed with killing intent. "Looks like that mysterious Saiyan's companions have arrived! Perfect. I just raised my power level, and my Ki Blast has leveled up too. I'll use them for practice, earn some more experience, and push my power level even higher!"

Grandpa Gohan stiffened at those words, panic filling his eyes. He hurriedly grabbed Ximen Qing's little hand and said anxiously, "Ximen Qing, no! There are several of them—it's too dangerous. We should hide quickly and not fight them head-on!"

Ximen Qing lightly shook off Grandpa Gohan's hand. His gaze was firm and arrogant as he shook his head. "Hide from what? They're just a few small fry with power levels of 80 to 100. Even if a whole group comes, I can kill them all in seconds! Grandpa Gohan, just stay here and watch. I'll show you how I deal with them all at once, and let you see how strong my 580 power level really is!"

After saying that, Ximen Qing no longer hesitated. He activated his enhanced Intermediate Ki Sense, and the white aura around him thickened once more like mist. His power level of 580 burst forth without restraint, and an even more powerful pressure than before spread into the surroundings. His small body flashed, flying toward the source of the auras with the speed of a white afterimage. His eyes were full of anticipation and arrogance—ready to welcome another wave of small fry delivering experience and continue skyrocketing his power level!

What he did not know was that after he left, a figure with a power level of around 200 stood silently in the nearby forest, staring fixedly at Ximen Qing's retreating back. His eyes were filled with shock, confusion, and a faint trace of barely perceptible wariness as he muttered, "That baby... what exactly is he? His power level is rising so quickly, and he can even skillfully use Saiyan techniques. Could he... be the Innate Saiyan from the tribe's legends?"
