Dragon Ball: Starting with a power level increase of 1 per second

Chapter 142 The Powerful Number 18: I Dare, Do You? The Champion Satan Makes His Appearance

After reaching a conclusion with Piccolo, the two, accompanied by Lin Chuan, went to Xidu and found Bulma, who was taking care of Xiao Xue'er.

Although Piccolo didn't attend the full moon celebration for Lin Chuan's daughter, Lin Xue, he had seen her before.

Piccolo naturally knew just how terrifying Lin Xue's talent and potential were.

If Lin Xue from the future hadn't traveled back in time and met him, it would be really hard to imagine.

First it was Sun Wukong's child, Sun Wufan, and now it's Lin Xue.

To put it simply, she truly lives up to her reputation as Lin Chuan's daughter.

He has more potential than Son Gohan, the son of Son Goku.

Even if she's a girl, who says women can't be strong?

After explaining the situation to Bulma, Lin Chuan took the Dragon Ball from her.

No, it should be said that Bulma summons Shenron to make a wish.

Such commotion naturally attracted the attention of the three androids living in the manor: Number 16, Number 17, and Number 18, as well as Magata, who had been staying there since being sent there by Bardos and Champa.

Earth's dragon makes its appearance; although it's a bit lower in class, its aura is by no means weak.

Although Shenron's prestige has greatly improved after Dende's several modifications, it is still far inferior to Namek's Polunga.

Piccolo's wish was answered accurately by the dragon.

And it seems that because Piccolo awakened the power of the dragon god, the dragon god has a special respect for Piccolo.

This respect clearly shows that Piccolo has lowered his own status, indicating that Piccolo is above him.

To be honest, Lin Chuan was somewhat envious of such treatment.

Even though he has become a god, the dragon will still not act inferior to him.

In the original story, when Beerus, the God of Destruction, came to Earth, the fearful expression on the face of Shenron left many people speechless.

This is an achievement that any time traveler would want to reach.

The respectful title that makes the dragon bow its head is, in a sense, a symbol of status and position.

In fact, Lin Chuan did not realize that although the dimension he was in now seemed very high, it was only the sixth dimension.

Even if one's realm has far surpassed this unit of strength, if the numerical value is not up to standard, it cannot be changed.

Only when Lin Chuan can reach the eighth dimension, or even a higher dimension, will he truly reach the level of a god.

This god is incomparable to the gods of today.

Closer to home.

This time, the wish made to summon the dragon has been fulfilled.

With the help of the dragon, the truth came to light, and Piccolo completely regained himself, absorbing his former self entirely.

It's amazing that not only Lin Chuan and Piccolo, but anyone would never imagine that the subconscious mind of the former Piccolo Daimaō would still exist in Piccolo's subconscious world.

While its existence is not surprising, it is truly unbelievable that even Piccolo, with his current strength, did not notice it, nor did Lin Chuan detect it at all.

In conclusion, the Piccolo's problem has been resolved.

Especially after this ordeal, Piccolo truly became perfect.

His level of power also reached 8000 billion units.

It's worth noting that six months ago, Piccolo, under Whis's guidance, only reached a normal combat power of 4000 billion after such a long time.

With the help of the dragon, Piccolo completely absorbed the consciousness of his predecessor, doubling his combat power.

And this is only in terms of numbers; Piccolo's actual combat power is definitely stronger, and reaching the trillion level is not difficult.

Lin Chuan had also been stuck at this level of strength for a period of time.

……

Piccolo has left.

Lin Chuan did not follow him back to the Heavenly God Temple.

After all, Vegeta will be training inside for three years, and Tien Shinhan and Krillin will likely train for the same amount of time as well.

That translates to 6 days in the outside world.

He has at least six more days before he and Piccolo enter the Spirit Time Chamber.

So he decided to take a good rest during this time and make full preparations for the upcoming grueling training.

……

at the same time.

The Underworld, the Great Realm King Star.

Six months ago, Goku and Raditz came here to train under the guidance of King Kai.

This not only broadened their horizons but also exposed them to more formidable opponents.

Although these opponents are not considered very strong to them.

However, at least with their normal strength, they cannot be easily defeated.

Especially that pork rib rice dish, not only could they not win with their normal power, but even if they transformed into Super Saiyan 1, they could only manage a draw.

Is pork rib rice really that amazing?

Indeed, the pork rib rice wasn't this amazing before. The pork rib rice in the original work was all the same, but after Lin Chuan's arrival last time, he realized how weak his strength was.

Feeling the pressure, he trained desperately, and with the guidance of the Supreme Kai and the secret instruction from the Great Kai, his strength improved by leaps and bounds.

Not only pork rib rice, but also Oliver, one of the North King's subordinates in the North Galaxy, surpassed the strength of the two in their normal state.

On this Great Kaio Star, besides Ribs Rice, he is the second-in-command among the powerful figures.

It cannot transform; it can only use its normal state.

King Kai trained Goku and Raditz to prevent them from easily transforming into Super Saiyans.

Only in this way can they better hone their physical abilities.

As a former King of the Kai, with his understanding of the Super Saiyan transformation, he had already come to the conclusion that the Super Saiyan transformation was amplified at multiple speeds.

Moreover, the amplification is comprehensive, unlike techniques or skills like the Kaioken.

If Goku and Raditz are strong in their normal state, they will become stronger after transforming.

They train their bodies.

To forge their spirit.

After accomplishing these two things, he will then teach them what he knows about the cultivation methods of divine power.

In just six months, their power and influence have grown at an astonishing pace.

No longer relying on transformations to amplify their strength, they simply hone their normal abilities and cultivate through various methods.

This not only allowed them to accumulate enormous potential for development, but also made their cultivation process unimpeded.

Just like Lin Chuan back then.

However, no one knew that Lin Chuan had the assistance of a system in addition to his own cultivation.

At this moment.

King Kai is leisurely sipping tea.

On the open ground in front, Sun Wukong and Raditz were sitting respectively.

The two were meditating and cultivating their spirituality.

Suddenly, a voice entered his mind, causing him to pause slightly as he poured the tea.

"Hmm? Lin Chuan's telepathic message... The Hyperbolic Time Chamber has restarted, allowing another three years of entry. Vegeta has already entered... Hiss~! This is both good news and bad news, it's giving me a headache."

"A mental time chamber created by defying the concept of time should not exist in this world..."

As King Kai murmured his words, he fell into deep thought.

The warriors who have been training in the Spirit Time Chamber for two years are already this strong.

If he were to go in for another three years, it's unimaginable.

Should King Kai tell Goku and Raditz? Looking at Goku and Raditz in front of him, King Kai was caught in a dilemma.

Given the current situation and their current cultivation speed, they shouldn't even consider entering the Spiritual Time Chamber anymore.

Especially now that their cultivation has reached a critical stage, if they succeed, they may indeed cultivate divine power like Lin Chuan.

After all, this cultivation method had been continuously improved, and more than half a year ago, Lin Chuan provided a new idea.

The current cultivation method can be considered a true basic divine power cultivation method.

Even if it can't compare to Lin Chuan's improved version, it's still unique.

"Let's wait and see. It's not too late to tell them when they've truly cultivated divine power."

"Super Saiyan God, only when Goku and Raditz reach this level will they be able to catch up completely."

"I wonder how strong Vegeta will be after training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for three years?"

King Kai continued to mutter under his breath.

He wouldn't underestimate or look down on Vegeta; after all, Vegeta's talent and potential were undeniable, and he was a prince of the Saiyan race.

A pure bloodline lays a solid foundation for someone who won't be bad.

Otherwise, Vegeta would have been far surpassed by others long ago. The key is that he is truly self-taught, and almost all of his strength comes from his own training.

After figuring things out, the North King sent a message to Lin Chuan, informing him of the current situation.

……

On Earth.

Having received the North King's reply, Lin Chuan, as expected, did not send another telepathic message.

King Kai will absolutely not release Goku and Raditz back now.

Even if Goku and Raditz wanted to come back, King Kai would definitely stop them unless they gave up their training.

It should be understood that a new stage of cultivation has begun, and if one gives up halfway, all the previous efforts will be in vain.

It's true that cultivating divine power isn't something that can be done overnight, but it's not something you can just start cultivating at will or stop whenever you want.

After they return, Goku and Raditz will be able to train, but they will definitely go astray.

They have only just begun to grasp the most basic life energy, so how can they possibly explore and move forward on their own?

That is to say, the North Kai is here, and the Grand Kai is also watching over things, and will come to give some pointers from time to time.

Otherwise, how could Sun Wukong and Raditz have made such a fast progress in cultivating divine power in just half a year?

When Lin Chuan first started cultivating on his own, he had to rely on various methods and exchange ideas with the Northern Realm King for a long time before he finally stabilized his cultivation level.

The subsequent condensation of divine power seemed to be completed by himself, but there was more or less guidance from angels, especially the intentional or unintentional guidance from Bardos.

"After leaving the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, I handed over the improved basic divine power training method to King Kai. Unexpectedly, he passed it on to Goku and Raditz by some twist of fate. It seems that Goku and Raditz have already decided to move towards the direction of divine power training." Lin Chuan clicked his tongue and stopped thinking about their problems.

Now that things have come to this, and he has passed on the message, whether they return or not, or whether the North King will allow them to return, is their own business.

After leaving Bulma's research institute, Lin Chuan did not take Xiao Xue'er with him.

The little girl was already asleep, and usually she stayed at the research institute with Bulma.

At first, Lin Chuan was very concerned, after all, his daughter was still so young, and he wondered if it would be inappropriate.

Later, as I gradually got used to it, I stopped worrying about it.

He doesn't dislike taking care of his daughter, but if he has to do it all the time, he really won't have enough time to cultivate.

Bulma was aware of this, so she was always very understanding of Lin Chuan's difficulties.

Each had their own role, and Lin Chuan bore the heavy responsibility of protecting the Earth and the world.

Bulma learned a lot from Lin Chuan and realized that her husband needed to become stronger.

Bulma never complained, because Lin Chuan also devoted his spare time to her and her daughter, and shared her burdens and thought of her needs.

However, Lin Chuan really couldn't help with scientific research. Just like with Lin Chuan's current cultivation, Bulma could only offer advice and had no power to assist him.

On his way home, Lin Chuan did not fly, but walked.

As I walked, I wondered if there was anything I had forgotten.

People are more likely to forget things and overlook beautiful things, especially during times like these.

For example, when he arrived in the back garden, Lin Chuan once again ignored Android 18, who was deep in thought there.

There were no numbers 16 and 17 accompanying them, nor was Mageeta present.

They are all honing their skills and striving to become stronger.

When they made their wish just now, the information provided by Lin Chuan and Piccolo made them realize that if they didn't become stronger, they would be reduced to ants again.

Since Number 16 cannot train to become stronger, he can only serve as a support, assisting Number 17 and Maggetta in improving their strength.

On the 18th, because he didn't want to stay in the dark and oppressive gravity training room, he came out for some fresh air.

Then they encountered Lin Chuan, who was deep in thought, completely ignoring his own situation once again.

I'm definitely angry, and the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Since that incident, there have been several similar occurrences in the past six months.

Her hidden feelings for Lin Chuan were so complex that even she herself couldn't quite figure out what they were.

Is it love, admiration, or liking? Or is it hate, resentment, or dislike?

At this moment, her emotions were like a dam bursting, and tears welled up in her eyes as she stared straight at Lin Chuan.

A peculiar feeling washed over him, and Lin Chuan stopped and turned to look.

Murderous intent! And hatred!

Lin Chuan was taken aback when he sensed the meaning in Number 18's eyes and expression.

"What's wrong with you, woman?" Completely oblivious to romance and with no intention of causing any trouble, Lin Chuan didn't want to waste any more time here and strode away.

This made Number 18 even angrier and more furious.

"Am I that hateful to you? Then why did you leave me here in the first place?" A burning, unbearable ache shot through her chest.

Number 18, unable to bear it any longer, threw a punch.

This move caused the atmosphere to change drastically.

Lin Chuan's already puzzled mood immediately soured.

With a swift backhand grab, he pinched number 18's fist and pulled his arm behind his back.

Number 18's body went limp and she was forced to turn around, but how could she be willing to surrender so easily?

With his other hand, he struck Lin Chuan's lower abdomen with his elbow.

This move sent a chill down Lin Chuan's spine: "Are you serious?!"

He decisively blocked the blow that would cripple him for the rest of his life with his hand.

Two attacks were ineffective, and she was completely trapped. Number 18 struggled in a fit of rage, ignoring the physical contact between the two.

Compared to Lin Chuan, No. 18, who was only 160cm tall and weighed only 45kg, was like a doll and could only be manipulated at will.

Moreover, the difference in strength is so great.

Although she is not very heavy, her figure is undeniably stunning, with a graceful and full figure.

Suddenly sensing something strange behind him, Number 18 stopped what he was doing.

Lin Chuan was stunned, and so was Number 18.

It's impossible to say I have no feelings for number 18.

Lin Chuan never intended to do anything reckless, much less betray Bulma.

Now, the 18th has practically delivered itself to our doorstep.

Number 18 knew exactly what that was... She lowered her head shyly: "You...you let go of me."

Hearing this coquettish voice, Lin Chuan shuddered and immediately let go.

"Um, I didn't do it on purpose. Who told you to mess around like that?"

"I'm messing around? You were the one who ignored me first." Number 18 turned around haughtily, and after her sharp retort, her cheeks turned even redder, making her look even more beautiful.

"I ignored you?" Lin Chuan was even more puzzled.

When did he neglect people?

It's not like we have to greet each other every time we meet, or that we have to go up to each other every time we see someone.

He's a normal man.

He understands the simple principle that feelings can develop over time, so avoiding suspicion is a given.

Besides, they were living in the same place.

"Hmph! It's all your fault. Men, are they all just animals who think with their lower bodies? Why didn't I hear you speaking so gently just now?" Number 18 is playing with fire.

Lin Chuan was still seething with anger, and he wasn't about to let it go so easily. His concession only emboldened Number 18 to take things even further.

"I see you really don't know how dangerous I am. Do you really think I won't do anything to you?" Feigning anger, Lin Chuan didn't expect Number 18 to be even more direct.

"I dare, do you dare?"

Number 18 suddenly stood on tiptoe and hooked his arm around Lin Chuan's neck.

Before Lin Chuan could react...

"Hmm..."

Number 18 kissed him right away.

"Buzz~!"

Lin Chuan was completely dumbfounded.

If he doesn't fight back, then he's truly a useless piece of trash.

……

……

Before we knew it, a long time had passed.

Lin Chuan abandoned Number 18 and fled in panic, while Number 18 remained where he was, laughing.

She got what she wanted, especially Lin Chuan's timid and cowardly demeanor, which she had never seen before, as if she had someone else's weakness in her grasp.

To be honest, she was quite excited.

Because kissing Lin Chuan like that was cheating on Bulma...

"Hmph~~~ You can't escape my grasp. I'll just be your concubine." With another coquettish laugh, Number 18 put her hands on her hips, swayed her slender waist, and headed towards the research institute where Bulma was.

It was as if he was going to express his feelings, or as if he really had something to tell Bulma.

From the beginning to now, the changes on the 18th are clearly visible to the naked eye.

A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

You never know what a woman will do next.

Lin Chuan had already escaped back to his room.

He really acted impulsively just now. If Bulma and Shirley hadn't suddenly appeared in his mind at the crucial moment, he would have really done something wrong.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't." Lin Chuan sighed to his brother, then strode into the bathroom and took a cold shower.

After cooling himself down, Lin Chuan changed into a loose set of cultivation clothes and went to the large living room on the second floor to turn on the TV.

After arriving in this world... no!

It should be said that after arriving on Earth, especially during his rest time, Lin Chuan would watch TV to pass the time.

Although it's boring, it has to be said that the film and television industry in this world is quite developed.

In some future plot segments, there are occasional scenes of film crews shooting movies, and even in the advanced era, Gohan is entangled with a female celebrity and almost has an affair.

Fortunately, like his father Goku, Son Gohan remained faithful to his feelings throughout his life and never thought about such things.

Therefore, Gohan never wavered in his principles until the end; he only felt a little shy when the girl took advantage of him.

Perhaps this is a behavior that every man exhibits?

I'm definitely tempted, but I just won't act on it.

Just like Lin Chuan was taken advantage of by No. 18, he might have impulses, but he would never cross the line.

"Damn it! Why did I suddenly think of her again..." She was furious. It had only just happened, and it would take a long time to forget it.

There's nothing I can do but wait until I'm in the Mental Time Chamber before I can forget this.

Come to think of it, his relationship with Bulma seems to have been based on impulse.

Of course, Lin Chuan did not regret this impulsive act.

"Wait... I seem to be too concerned about my own thoughts. Does Number 18 like me too? No, why did I add 'too'... Between her and me, apart from the first few days we had some contact, we haven't had much contact since..." Because of deep thinking, Lin Chuan realized that Number 18 seemed to have feelings for him. Otherwise, how could she bring herself to make a move?

At this moment, Lin Chuan recalled Number 18's behavior after that, including him seeing Number 18 naked and apologizing, and all the things that happened afterward...

This left them completely dumbfounded.

He wasn't a novice, but Lin Chuan wasn't exactly a smooth talker either.

He prefers to be straightforward and dislikes beating around the bush.

He knew that his fondness for Number 18 stemmed from his past life, primarily due to her appearance and figure.

Who would have thought that No. 18 would take a liking to him?

He gasped in shock; if that were truly the case, he really wouldn't know how to face it.

At this moment, Lin Chuan seemed to be acting innocent even though he had gotten a good deal.

Just then, a loud commotion suddenly came from the television.

After powering on, the channel was locked to the daily news feed.

To Lin Chuan's surprise, he saw a familiar figure on TV. The reporter's words during the interview piqued his interest and shifted his focus away from No. 18.

"The world champion of the fighting world, Satan? I never expected to meet him like this," Lin Chuan muttered to himself.

……

The first update of 2024, although only 6,000 words, is a testament to my efforts to resume updates. I've recovered, so don't worry, everyone. Starting tomorrow, I'll resume my previous daily morning updates.

Finally, I'm begging for your recommendation votes, monthly tickets, tips, and full subscriptions!
