Squad Annihilated! Ki Blasts Barrage, Power Level Surpasses 700, Head-on Clash with Squad Leader!

Ximen Qing became a white afterimage, using his enhanced Intermediate Ki Sense to race toward the source of the ki. His power level of 580 erupted without restraint, dense white ki surrounding him as it tore through the air and kicked up howling gusts. His eyes were filled with arrogance and anticipation—he could not wait to instantly kill these little grunts delivering themselves as experience!

With Intermediate Ki Sense operating at full force, every movement within 600 meters was crystal clear. He precisely sensed four ki signatures, with power levels of 85, 90, 95, and 100 respectively. They were approaching him in a fan-shaped formation, their hurried steps and urgent, puzzled voices making it clear that they were searching for the mysterious Saiyan who had been instantly killed earlier.

"Four little grunts, and the strongest is only at 100. Perfect for farming experience, raising the Ki Blast proficiency a little more, and breaking through to 700 power level while I'm at it!" Ximen Qing curled his lips into an arrogant smile. His soft, childish voice brimmed with killing intent. As soon as he finished speaking, he accelerated sharply and instantly rushed before the four scouts. Hovering in midair, he looked down at them as his oppressive aura crashed down upon them!

The four Saiyan Scouts were hurrying along when they suddenly felt an overwhelmingly terrifying pressure. Their bodies stiffened, and they instinctively stopped. Their faces turned deathly pale, their eyes filled with terror and confusion—this pressure was far too powerful, completely beyond what they could endure. Its power level had to be at least 500!

"Who is it?! Show yourself!" One scout with a power level of 100 forcibly suppressed his fear and shouted into the sky. His wary gaze swept across the surroundings as his vicious aura erupted as well. Yet beneath Ximen Qing's pressure, his ki seemed exceptionally weak, and even his body was trembling slightly.

The other three scouts raised their heads as well. When they saw Ximen Qing hovering in the air—a baby-sized figure surrounded by dense white ki, with arrogant eyes—they were utterly dumbfounded. Their eyes widened, their mouths fell open, and disbelief covered their faces as they kept muttering, "A... a baby? How could it be a baby?"

"Th-this pressure... was actually released by this baby? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could a baby possibly have such a powerful power level?"

They were all scouts from the Saiyan Tribe. Having fought and killed year-round, they had seen countless powerful warriors, but never such a bizarre baby—tiny in stature, yet possessing a terrifyingly powerful power level. It completely defied common sense. Even the most gifted prodigy in the tribe could never possess such a high power level as an infant!

"You're the companions of that mysterious Saiyan, aren't you?" Ximen Qing hovered in the air and lightly swayed his tiny body. His soft voice was full of disdain. "Looks like you came to look for him? What a pity. I already killed him in one move. Now, it's your turn!"

"What?! What did you say? You killed Ahei in one move?" The scout with a power level of 100 underwent a drastic change of expression. The terror in his eyes was instantly replaced by extreme fury as he roared at Ximen Qing, "You strange little thing, you dare kill one of our Saiyans? You must have a death wish! Brothers, attack together! Tear this little thing to pieces and avenge Ahei!"

The Ahei he spoke of was the mysterious Saiyan Ximen Qing had killed earlier. In his view, even if Ximen Qing possessed great power, he was still only a baby. Perhaps he had borrowed some external force. As long as the four of them joined forces, even if they could not defeat him, they could still capture him and avenge Ahei!

"Revenge! Revenge!" The other three scouts came to their senses as well. Forcing down their fear, fury filled their eyes as they charged at Ximen Qing. Their ki erupted in full, fists and kicks raining down on him. Their roles were clearly divided: some attacked from above, others from below, trying to surround Ximen Qing and deny him any chance to evade.

But to Ximen Qing, their attacks were as slow as snails, completely beneath notice. With a power level of 580 and enhanced Intermediate Ki Sense, his speed and reactions vastly surpassed those of the four scouts. Even working together, they could not touch a single finger of his!

"That's all you've got, and you dare come for revenge? You're overestimating yourselves!" Ximen Qing sneered, his eyes cold and disdainful. As his words fell, he flashed aside and effortlessly evaded the four scouts' encirclement. At the same time, with a thought, he activated Basic Ki Blast and condensed his power into his palms, instantly forming four ping-pong-ball-sized white ki blasts. He intended to finish them all at once and avoid wasting time!

"Ki Blasts, rapid fire! Die!" Ximen Qing roared, killing intent overflowing from his soft, childish voice. He raised his hand and hurled the four ki blasts fiercely toward the four scouts' chests!

The four ki blasts tore through the air with shrieking wind, moving at an astonishing speed as they instantly reached the four scouts. Their expressions changed drastically, and their pupils constricted. They wanted to dodge, but their speed was utterly insignificant before the ki blasts. They could only watch helplessly as the blasts slammed viciously into their chests!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Four deafening explosions erupted almost simultaneously. An overwhelmingly powerful force burst from the four ki blasts and violently struck the scouts' bodies. Before they could even let out a miserable scream, their large bodies flew straight backward like rag dolls struck by boulders, crashing hard into the ancient trees around them. With several cracking sounds, numerous bowl-thick trees snapped in half, branches and leaves raining down as dust billowed everywhere!

The four scouts crashed heavily onto the ground, each spitting out a mouthful of blood. Small indentations had been blasted into their chests by the ki blasts, and the ki around their bodies instantly dissipated completely. Their power levels rapidly fell to zero. Their bodies twitched a few times, the light vanishing from their eyes as they completely lost their breath. They did not even have the strength to struggle—just one barrage of ki blasts had easily killed all four scouts with power levels between 85 and 100. It had been a complete crushing victory, leaving them no ability to fight back!

[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing 4 Saiyan Scouts (power levels 85, 90, 95, 100). Experience reward obtained. Power level +120 (current power level: 700)! ]

[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for skillfully using Ki Blasts to kill multiple enemies. Skill proficiency increased (current: Basic → Intermediate). Ki Blast power greatly increased. You can now condense multiple Ki Blasts at once for area attacks! ]

[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through power level 700 and unlocking Intermediate Ki Sense's exclusive ability—Ki Concealment (can completely conceal your own ki, preventing enemies with power levels less than 200 above your own from detecting you)! ]

The system notifications rang out one after another. An incredibly intense warm current instantly erupted from within Ximen Qing, sending his power level soaring directly to 700. His Ki Blast proficiency rose to Intermediate, and he had even unlocked Intermediate Ki Sense's exclusive ability, instantly invigorating him and filling his entire body with strength!

"Awesome! This is amazing!" Ximen Qing excitedly waved his tiny hands and, using his enhanced Intermediate Ki Sense, flew several circles through the air. His face was filled with arrogance and pride, his soft voice brimming with dominance. "My power level broke 700 just like that! Ki Blast also upgraded to Intermediate and can now perform area attacks, and I unlocked Ki Concealment too! This haul is an absolute jackpot!"

He lowered his head to look at the four scouts' corpses on the ground, curling his lips in disdain. "You dared come avenge that Ahei? You even dared join forces to surround me? You were just a few little grunts. Even together, you were no match for me. You really overestimated yourselves!"

Just then, a cold and powerful ki suddenly came from the distance, carrying extreme rage and killing intent as it rapidly approached him. The distance shrank to 150 meters, then 100, then 50... This ki was stronger than all the scouts' ki from before, with a power level of exactly 200. It belonged to the mysterious figure hiding in the forest at the end of Chapter 5—the captain of the Saiyan Scout squad!

"Hm? Someone stronger is here? Power level 200?" Ximen Qing abruptly stopped flying. A trace of vigilance flashed through his eyes before being replaced by intense excitement. "It's actually the scout squad captain! Perfect. I just broke through to 700 power level, and my Ki Blast has upgraded too. I'll use you for practice, test the power of 700, and earn another wave of experience while I'm at it to reach an even higher power level!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure suddenly rushed out of the forest and landed in front of Ximen Qing. He was even more burly than the previous scouts, standing around two and a half meters tall. He wore a black combat uniform embroidered with faint Saiyan Tribe patterns. His face was fierce, his gaze as cold as blades, and dense vicious ki radiated from his body. His power level was exactly 200, and the pressure surrounding him was more than twice as powerful as that of the mysterious Saiyan from before!

The scout captain landed on the ground and instantly fixed his gaze on Ximen Qing. Then he looked at the five scout corpses on the ground—four squad members plus Ahei. His pupils abruptly shrank, and the anger on his face instantly erupted. The ki around him grew denser as powerful pressure bore down fiercely upon Ximen Qing. His voice was full of coldness and killing intent. "It was you?! You strange baby, you actually killed my squad members?!"

He was the captain of the Saiyan Tribe's scout squad, named Batu. With a power level of 200, he was the strongest member of the squad. He had been following behind the squad, concealed in the shadows and observing everything. He had witnessed the entire process of Ximen Qing instantly killing the four squad members. But he simply could not understand how a baby could possess a power level of 700 and so easily slaughter four of his men. This was not something an ordinary Saiyan could possibly do!

"So what if I did?" Ximen Qing hovered in the air, completely unaffected by Batu's pressure. His eyes were cold and arrogant, while killing intent filled his soft voice. "They came to kill me, so I killed them. Did I need your permission? They were only a few little grunts who hadn't even reached 200 power level. I killed them, so what? What can you do about it?"

"Good! What an arrogant little thing!" Batu trembled with rage, the killing intent in his eyes growing increasingly intense. "A baby actually dares to be so arrogant? You killed my squad members and still dare mock me? Today, I'll make sure you die without a burial place! I'll tear you to pieces and avenge my men!"

In his view, even if Ximen Qing had a power level of 700, he was still just a baby. Perhaps he had merely borrowed some external force and did not know how to properly wield his power or techniques. Although Batu's power level of 200 was lower than Ximen Qing's, with his extensive combat experience, even if he could not win, he could at least barely contend with him. Perhaps he might even find a chance to capture Ximen Qing!

After saying that, Batu did not hesitate any longer. He activated the power within his body, and the vicious ki around him instantly grew as thick as fog. With a sudden flash, he rushed toward Ximen Qing at a shocking speed, far surpassing every scout from before. At the same time, he clenched his fist, gathering all 200 points of his power level into it, and viciously smashed it toward Ximen Qing's chest. This was his full-force strike, powerful enough to shatter a huge boulder!

"Oh? You still dare attack me head-on? You've got some courage, but your strength is too weak!" Ximen Qing sneered, disdain filling his eyes. He had no intention of dodging. He wanted to directly meet Batu's full-force strike and test the might of a 700 power level. At the same time, with a thought, he activated Intermediate Ki Blast, gathering the power within his body into his palm and forming a fist-sized white ki blast. This blast was more than twice as powerful as his previous ones!

"Since you want revenge so badly, then taste the power of my Intermediate Ki Blast! Blast away!" Ximen Qing roared, killing intent overflowing from his soft voice. He raised his hand and violently fired the Intermediate Ki Blast in his palm straight at Batu's fist, preparing to clash head-on!

When Batu saw that Ximen Qing was not dodging and even dared use a Ki Blast to meet his full-force punch, a mocking smile formed at his lips, his eyes full of contempt. "Arrogant little thing, you dare use a Ki Blast against my fist? You're courting death! Today, I'll show you just how terrifying a full-force strike from a 200 power level can be!"

As his words fell, Batu's fist collided violently with Ximen Qing's Intermediate Ki Blast!

Bang—!!!

A deafening explosion erupted instantly. An overwhelmingly powerful force burst from the point of impact, sending the surrounding weeds and leaves flying in the fierce wind. Shallow furrows were even carved into the ground, and dust filled the air, blotting out the sky. Even the roars of distant wild beasts were completely drowned out by the tremendous blast!

Batu only felt a terrifyingly powerful force rush in from his fist, spreading through his arm and throughout his body. His entire body jolted, and he instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. His massive body involuntarily staggered several steps backward, leaving deep footprints in the ground beneath his feet. His eyes were full of disbelief and terror—this force was far too powerful, far beyond what he could endure. Even his fist had gone numb, and it felt as though his bones were about to shatter!

Meanwhile, Ximen Qing remained hovering in midair, completely unaffected. His tiny body only swayed slightly as disdain filled his eyes. "That's all the strength you have? And you dared act arrogant in front of me? A full-force blow from a 200 power level is nothing more than this. You're just wasting my time!"

He could clearly feel that the power of Intermediate Ki Blast had indeed risen drastically. Even when directly clashing with a full-force attack from a 200 power level, it could easily suppress it and even counterattack its opponent. The might of a 700 power level had far exceeded his expectations!

It took Batu quite a while to barely steady himself. He raised his head and stared fixedly at Ximen Qing, his eyes full of terror and apprehension. All his previous rage and arrogance had vanished as he kept muttering, "N-no... impossible... This is absolutely impossible! How could a baby possess such strength? A power level of 700... who exactly are you? Could it be... are you truly one of the Innate Saiyans from the tribe's legends?"

He finally understood the vast difference between himself and Ximen Qing. Even if he gave everything he had, he was no match for Ximen Qing at all. Ximen Qing had not even used his full strength in that attack. If Ximen Qing truly went all out, Batu would likely have been killed instantly long ago!

Watching Batu's terrified expression, Ximen Qing curled his lips into an arrogant smile. Killing intent filled his soft voice. "An Innate Saiyan? I suppose so! But now, it's your turn! You dared attack me just now, so now you'll pay the price. Go accompany your squad members in death!"

After saying that, Ximen Qing did not hesitate any longer. He activated the 700 power level within his body, and the white ki around him once again grew thick as fog. Intermediate Ki Sense operated at full strength, and Intermediate Ki Blasts formed again. This time, however, he condensed three ki blasts, which hovered before him, radiating powerful force as they locked firmly onto Batu. He intended to finish Batu in one go, claim this wave of experience, and continue soaring higher!

When Batu saw the three Ki Blasts Ximen Qing had condensed, his face instantly turned pale as paper. He was terrified out of his wits, and all thought of resistance vanished. He abruptly dropped to his knees and repeatedly kowtowed to Ximen Qing, his voice full of fear and pleading. "D-don't kill me! Little one, I was wrong. I shouldn't have attacked you, and I shouldn't have wanted to kill you. Please spare my life! I'll never dare do it again! I'm willing to submit to you. From now on, I'll listen to whatever you say. Please spare me!"

He did not want to die. He still had a bright future ahead of him; he did not want to lose his life because of a strange baby. Before absolute power, all his pride and viciousness had vanished like smoke, leaving behind only fear and pleading. He knew that as long as Ximen Qing raised his hand, he would be instantly killed like his squad members, without even the slightest ability to resist!

Ximen Qing hovered in the air, looking down at Batu, who was kneeling on the ground and endlessly begging for mercy. His eyes were full of coldness and disdain, without the slightest hint of compassion. "Spare your life? When you wanted to kill me just now, why didn't you think of sparing mine? When you said you would make me die without a burial place, why didn't you think of today? Now you know to beg for mercy? Too late!"

"Besides, you're here to give me experience—how could I possibly spare your life? Your teammates have already been buried for your sake. It's time for you to join them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ximen Qing's gaze turned cold. With a raised hand, he viciously hurled the three Intermediate Ki Blasts before him at Batu's chest—showing no mercy whatsoever. He intended to kill Batu in one go, claim this batch of experience, and push his combat power to even greater heights!

Batu's expression changed drastically, his pupils shrinking as despair filled his eyes. He knew he had nowhere left to retreat. All he could do was watch helplessly as the three Ki Blasts smashed toward his chest, his heart filled with regret—regret for his arrogance, regret for ever provoking this bizarre yet powerful infant!

"BANG—!!!"

Three deafening explosions overlapped, fiercer than any previous collision. A world-destroying force erupted from the three Intermediate Ki Blasts and violently swallowed Batu's body. This time, Batu could not even let out a miserable scream. His massive body was instantly torn apart by the blasts' power, blood and chunks of flesh spraying in every direction, splattering across the weeds and rocks below. The sight was horrifying!

Batu, the Saiyan Scout squad captain with a combat power of 200, did not even get the chance to struggle before Ximen Qing's three Intermediate Ki Blasts blew him into fragments, utterly annihilating him—completely crushed from start to finish, with no chance to fight back. Even kneeling and begging for mercy would not have earned him the slightest pity!

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host, for killing Saiyan Scout squad captain Batu (Combat Power: 200). You have received a generous experience reward. Combat Power +150 (Current Combat Power: 850)! ]

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completely annihilating the Saiyan Scout squad (6 members total), completing the hidden achievement—Squad Annihilator! ]

[ Ding! Hidden achievement rewards issued: Combat Power +100 (Current Combat Power: 950), Ki Sense upgraded (Intermediate → Advanced), Advanced Skill unlocked—Ki Cannon (condenses a massive amount of ki into a cannon-like blast; area-of-effect attack; far more powerful than Ki Blasts; can instantly crush multiple high-combat-power enemies)! ]

[ Ding! Advanced Ki Sense: Can sense your own ki and the ki within a 1,000-meter radius. Can freely control the strength of your ki, perfectly conceal your ki (undetectable by enemies whose combat power is less than 300 above your own), condense ki for long-distance flight, precisely lock onto enemy ki, and ignore simple concealment! ]

[ Ding! Ki Cannon: Advanced Skill. Consumes a small amount of ki to condense a massive amount of your combat power into a cannon-like blast. Area-of-effect attack. Its power varies with combat power—the higher the combat power, the stronger the Ki Cannon and the wider its attack range. Can instantly crush multiple high-combat-power enemies! ]

A rapid succession of system notifications rang out. A warm current stronger than anything before burst from within Ximen Qing and swept through every cell in his body. His limbs and bones tingled with comfort, as though his entire body had been reforged. His combat power soared from 700 to 950, rising by a full 250 points!

At the same time, Ximen Qing could clearly feel that his Ki Sense had undergone a qualitative leap, advancing from Intermediate to Advanced. Its range had expanded directly to 1,000 meters, and flying became smoother and faster. He could even easily achieve long-distance flight. The insights into the advanced skill Ki Cannon also appeared in his mind. With a mere thought, he could condense a Ki Cannon, its power unimaginably fierce!

"This feels amazing! Absolutely amazing!" Ximen Qing excitedly waved his tiny hands and, using the Advanced Ki Sense he had just unlocked, slowly floated into the air. The white ki around him grew thicker and more powerful, even faintly gleaming with a pale golden light. His combat power of 950 was released without restraint, and an overwhelmingly terrifying pressure spread outward. The ancient trees and weeds around him bent slightly beneath it, while fine cracks even appeared across the ground!

He glanced down at the bloodstains and fragments on the ground, curled his lips, and said with utter disdain and arrogance, "A tiny scout squad dared to provoke me? They even wanted to kill me? They really overestimated themselves! Now look at them—all wiped out, and they became stepping stones for me to raise my combat power and unlock a new skill. What free points!"

"My combat power shot straight to 950! My Ki Sense upgraded to Advanced, and I even unlocked the advanced skill Ki Cannon! This haul is ridiculously profitable!" Ximen Qing flew several circles through the air, skillfully mastering Advanced Ki Sense's flight ability. He was more than twice as fast as before, his face filled with smug arrogance. "Frieza, Cell, Buu, just wait! Once my combat power breaks through 1,000 and I unlock even stronger power, I'll come settle the score with you! I'll grind every last one of you into the ground and let you taste the might of the Ki Cannon! I'll show you who the strongest Saiyan in the universe is, and who the true overlord of the universe is!"

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded in the distance, along with Grandpa Gohan's anxious shout. "Ximen Qing! Ximen Qing! Are you all right? What was that huge explosion just now?"

Hearing this, Ximen Qing slowly stopped flying and turned toward the sound of the footsteps. Grandpa Gohan was hurrying toward him, his face full of anxiety and concern. As he ran, he kept looking around. Clearly, the deafening blasts from earlier had frightened him badly, and he was worried that Ximen Qing had been hurt.

"Grandpa Gohan, I'm fine. I'm doing great!" Ximen Qing waved at Grandpa Gohan, his soft childish voice brimming with excitement. Using Advanced Ki Sense, his figure flashed, and he instantly shot over to Grandpa Gohan, lightly landing on his shoulder. "Look, I've gotten stronger again! My combat power has reached 950, and I've unlocked a powerful new skill!"

Grandpa Gohan stopped in his tracks. When he saw Ximen Qing on his shoulder, along with the horrific scene around them—the bloodstains and fragments on the ground, the ancient trees snapped by impacts, and the scent of blood hanging in the air—his eyes widened round. The concern on his face was instantly replaced by extreme shock. His mouth hung wide enough to fit a fist, and even his breathing became cautious.

"Xi... Ximen Qing, it's... it's good that you're really all right..." Grandpa Gohan took a long while to barely regain his senses, his voice trembling slightly. He looked down at the grim scene on the ground, then at the smug Ximen Qing on his shoulder, his tone filled with awe. "Th-this... you did all this? That... that big man was killed by you too?"

"Of course!" Ximen Qing puffed out his chest, looking utterly domineering. "He was the captain of that scout squad, with a combat power of 200. He dared to attack me and wanted to avenge his teammates, so I blew him into pieces with one move!"

Grandpa Gohan completely froze. The shock on his face was beyond words as he kept muttering, "950 combat power... blown into pieces... terrifying... truly terrifying... Ximen Qing, you're practically a God of War. A natural-born God of War..."

He was completely numb by now. The shock Ximen Qing brought him grew greater each time—from instantly killing the Black Wind Bear, to consecutively wiping out the scout squad, to now instantly killing the squad captain with 200 combat power and raising his own combat power to 950. This tiny infant possessed strength beyond anything he could imagine. In his eyes, Ximen Qing was no longer an infant, but an omnipotent God of War!

Ximen Qing smiled smugly without denying it. Using Advanced Ki Sense, he lightly jumped down from Grandpa Gohan's shoulder and landed on the ground. Raising his head toward the depths of the mountains, his eyes filled with anticipation, he said, "Grandpa Gohan, I've already wiped out the entire scout squad, so we don't need to be afraid anymore!"

"But," Ximen Qing abruptly changed his tone, a flash of vigilance passing through his eyes, "the system told me that the Saiyan Tribe has more high-combat-power scouts who will come to Earth to investigate. We still have to be careful from now on. But it doesn't matter. If they come, they'll just be bringing me experience so I can raise my combat power and unlock even stronger skills!"

Grandpa Gohan hurriedly nodded, saying firmly, "All right! All right! Grandpa will listen to you! From now on, Grandpa will follow you and act carefully. I won't hold you back again! No matter how many enemies come, Grandpa believes in you. You'll definitely defeat every one of them!"

Ximen Qing nodded in satisfaction, placing his hands on his hips and puffing out his little chest with an overbearing expression. "That's more like it! Stick with me, and from now on we'll live well and eat well. No one will dare bully us!"

After saying that, he activated his Advanced Ki Sense and spread it through the surrounding area. Every movement within a 1,000-meter radius became crystal clear. He found no other dangerous ki, only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the occasional roar of wild beasts in the distance.

"There aren't any dangers around us now, Grandpa Gohan. Let's leave this place first!" Ximen Qing turned to Grandpa Gohan with a smile. "Once we get back and rest for a while, I'll try out the newly unlocked Ki Cannon and show you just how powerful it is!"

"All right! All right! Grandpa will go with you!" Grandpa Gohan hurriedly nodded and followed closely behind Ximen Qing, his eyes full of awe and admiration.

Ximen Qing smiled and said no more. Activating Advanced Ki Sense, he slowly floated into the air and flew toward the cave. He moved as quickly as a white afterimage, the white ki around him gleaming faintly gold beneath the sunlight. His combat power of 950 subtly radiated outward, while his eyes brimmed with arrogance and anticipation—he could hardly wait to test the power of the Ki Cannon, and he looked forward even more to the next wave of enemies arriving so he could continue soaring in combat power and steadily advance toward his goal of becoming the universe's overlord!

What he did not know was that in the deepest part of the mountains, a figure with a combat power of around 500 stood silently there. Using advanced ki concealment, it stared fixedly at Ximen Qing's retreating back, its eyes filled with shock, wariness, and a trace of barely perceptible greed. It murmured, "950 combat power... an infant's body... an Innate Saiyan... This little fellow is no ordinary one... I have to send this news back to the tribe. Perhaps he is the Destined Saiyan the tribe has been searching for..."
