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

Chapter 161 The Limits, the Constraints of the Universe, the Rules of the World.

"What? Do you think I'm not qualified to guide you? Or do you think I'm not qualified to be your opponent and provide you with more combat experience?"

Seeing that Lin Chuan did not answer, Bardos said with a slightly coquettish tone.

How rare are the gifts of angels! And what an honor it is to have angels truly willing to guide and impart their knowledge!

In this world, apart from the God of Destruction being taught by angels, there is no other being.

Unless a new trainee angel appears, a veteran angel will be chosen to learn from.

This is the third time that she, Bardos, has openly offered guidance to Lin Chuan.

If Lin Chuan still refuses, she will no longer give him the right to choose as before, but will instead take a forceful approach.

If an angel wants it, he can do it.

If she wanted, she could make Lin Chuan belong entirely to her.

Of course, this is Bardos's deepest thought, and she would never actually do such a thing.

After all, she wouldn't be so obsessed with a Saiyan's body.

"Sister, you've gone too far. I'm sure Lin Chuan wouldn't think that way either," Weiss said, trying to smooth things over. At this point, he didn't know what kind of intervention he was making, so he could only offer a few words of support for Lin Chuan.

After all, in his view, his older sister's assertive attitude might actually touch Lin Chuan's steadfast heart and make him open up to their teachings.

Upon hearing this, Bardos glanced at Weiss with slight displeasure, as if to say, "You shouldn't have undermined me."

After completely withdrawing his power, Lin Chuan said to Bardos, "If it's just to provide me with combat experience through battle, I would be more than happy to accept! However, I have my own path to walk! I know you angels are very powerful. Just like when I fought Champa before, even with our power unleashed to that extent, we still couldn't break through the barrier you set up. Actually, I would also like to receive your guidance, but after all, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and one must repay kindness received."

"You guys used to think I was a candidate to become a God of Destruction, but I refused, so I'm afraid I'll still disappoint you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chuan also revealed his true feelings.

Ultimately, who wouldn't want guidance from an angel?

But what about after we take it?

I can't pay it back!

It is incredibly difficult to repay the favors of angels, which is why Lin Chuan has never asked angels for anything indiscriminately, nor has he ever taken the initiative to ask angels to teach him.

Even when she delivered Bulma's baby, it was Vados who took the initiative to offer it.

Everything is reciprocal. It is precisely because you have enough value and can bring enough benefits to others that someone will come along to add to your success.

Even now, the reason why Lin Chuan has always maintained his original intention and his relative position with Weiss and Vados is because he doesn't owe the angels anything; on the contrary, Weiss and Vados owe him a favor.

Whis accompanied him to Universe 6 this time, partly because he had received a favor from him.

On the one hand, he had tasted the delicacies of Earth many times. Although Bulma was the one who mediated each time, Lin Chuan also made a great contribution.

Without Lin Chuan, even if Bulma and the others knew each other, they probably wouldn't have been able to do that.

On the other hand, Lin Chuan's existence indirectly maintained the order of the universe, preventing negative energy from increasing and allowing the universe to develop in a better direction.

At the same time, Lin Chuan also did a lot of things to turn the tide, and even improved the average index of the seventh universe.

The last time Lin Chuan broke through, Weiss came to give him guidance, which was also Weiss's way of rewarding Lin Chuan.

As for Bardos, what she owes is the hope that Lin Chuan's existence could change the Sixth Universe.

Lin Chuan's arrival in Universe 6 did indeed change the Saiyans of Universe 6, and even influenced many of the strong individuals in Universe 6 to become even stronger.

Therefore, Bardos would subtly offer guidance, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Lin Chuan neither refused nor accepted it.

After listening to Lin Chuan's words...

Weiss and Bardos looked at each other.

Although I had already guessed this would be the answer, hearing it with my own ears was still quite disheartening.

They did have ulterior motives, but Lin Chuan was truly unyielding and too rigid.

"Since you've put it that way, I'd like to test your limits. If you're unwilling to accept it, then I'll force you to learn! Now, you have no room to resist." Bardos revealed a wicked smile; compared to Weiss, she was indeed more direct.

Weiss was only testing the waters, and he would never do anything out of line without permission or after being refused.

No matter what, they are still under the High Priest and the Omni-King, and cannot be allowed to act recklessly.

But Bardos wasn't afraid; she was far more cunning than Viss.

Lin Chuan was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say in response.

Weiss chuckled inwardly, especially finding Lin Chuan's sudden stunned and frustrated expression quite amusing.

"This sounds a bit like you're forcing me to accept your teachings, Bardos. We've known each other for a while now, you don't have to force me to accept your guidance, do you? Although I'm very willing to accept it, your forceful approach makes me even less willing to accept it." Lin Chuan was quite flattered that Bardos would say such a thing.

This was a forced compulsion, compelling him to accept her guidance in cultivation; otherwise, she wouldn't give him back his sense of freedom.

Living off a woman?

Others might crave it, but he doesn't want it!

He has principles and his own beliefs.

If it were when he first transmigrated, before he had an awakened system and nothing else, all alone, he would have been very willing.

"Mmm, I love your rebellious spirit. Only this way can you ignite my desire to conquer you. I'm suddenly curious to see what you'll be like in the future, Lin Chuan." With the teasing voice continuing, Lin Chuan shuddered upon hearing "Little Lin Chuan."

Indeed, he is quite young by age.

But... his mind is anything but small.

"Hey!! That's enough! I'm not the kind of person you think I am, and don't try to scheme against me." Sweat beaded on his forehead, Lin Chuan wanted to escape.

Unexpectedly, Bardos quickly moved closer without any apparent concern, allowing Lin Chuan to smell that familiar yet unfamiliar body fragrance, which instantly made him feel hot and uneasy.

He cast a helping glance at Weiss.

Weiss looked at Lin Chuan, then at his sister, and finally sighed, saying, "Sister, please tone it down a bit. You're an angel, after all. Teasing him like this doesn't make you look like an angel at all."

Hearing this, Bardos chuckled: "What's so excessive about that? I didn't intend to do anything out of line. Does my little brother think his older sister would take advantage of this little guy?"

As she spoke, Bardos made a seductive gesture towards Lin Chuan, which gave Lin Chuan goosebumps.

Although Bardos is quite pretty, she's actually a super old hag, and she's not as simple as she seems on the surface.

"No, let's talk this out. This is no joke. Besides, I'm not a kid." Lin Chuan rolled his eyes and involuntarily moved away from Bardos.

Joking aside, when the time came, Bados stopped making a fuss: "Alright, let's get back to the point. This time, Lin Chuan, you have to accept the guidance."

"Hmm???" Lin Chuan murmured, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Because you have now been recognized by me as the successor, I want you to become an apprentice angel." After Bardos finished speaking, Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment.

Trainee Angel.

This cake is much bigger than the last one.

Compared to a god of destruction, an angel is as different as heaven and earth.

"Are you sure? Although I consider myself to have some skills and talent, making me an intern angel is no joke," Lin Chuan asked.

Although I still won't accept it, this is no small matter, so I need to confirm it.

Bardos nodded slightly, and Weiss nodded a few times in response.

That's the answer; no further explanation is needed.

Lin Chuan stood there, stunned, his mind racing with thoughts.

Champa, however, was drawn over and happened to hear those words, and was immediately stunned.

Become an intern angel!

Doesn't this mean Lin Chuan could become an angel in the future?!

Despite being the greatest destroyer in the universe, even angels are merely his servants.

But when you really think about it, the God of Destruction is nothing.

Angels are the supreme beings, transcending the universe, the cycle of reincarnation, and the essence of life.

"Bardos, are you serious? Or are you joking? You've become an intern angel, are you really planning to take Lin Chuan as your disciple? And you're even going to arrange for him to train in our sixth universe?" Champa gritted his teeth and questioned.

It's not a good thing, after all, he doesn't want another person suppressing him above him.

Especially since this being was a Saiyan kid he didn't like.

"Now that things have come to this, Lord Champa need not doubt my plans. Of course, this is not a challenge to your authority. And barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lin Chuan should have no other choice, because if he wants to advance further, he can only accept my legacy and become an apprentice angel." Bardos's face was full of smiles.

This answer was unacceptable to Xiangpa, whose anger had been gradually subsiding, and her gaze towards Lin Chuan became fiery again.

It seems he's determined to be a stepping stone for us.

"Do you mean I have to rely on you to become stronger?" Lin Chuan was somewhat taken aback by Bados's words.

Indeed, it is already very difficult to continue to become stronger, and there are not many paths left to take.

Lin Chuan's vision for the future was nothing more than completing Ultra Instinct and Super Saiyan 5, and then using the power of the system.

Even so, it would only elevate us to another two or three dimensions at most...

What should be done next?

Lin Chuan hadn't thought about it, because that was all he could think of at the moment.

If what Bardos said is true, then he is even less willing to accept his fate.

"You have now reached the same level as Lord Champa, the level of a God of Destruction! But at your current level, you cannot perceive higher realms. In the future, you will gradually discover that the universe will limit your continued growth, and even the world will not allow you to continue to become stronger." Weiss spoke these words on behalf of Vados.

The moment he finished speaking, Bardos chimed in: "Even if you can, and I believe you can, the rules will still bind you. You can't break the rules. Once your potential is completely wiped out, there will be no new way out, and that will be all you can do from now on."

Bardos's words sent a shiver down Lin Chuan's spine.

The limitations of the universe.

The rules of the world.

"So, even if an ordinary person could reach my current level in their entire life, that would be the limit?" Lin Chuan asked coldly.

If that's the case, Lin Chuan began to gradually summarize the plot's direction and setting.

Perhaps the storyline of the Tournament of Power in Dragon Ball Super is gradually developing in this direction.

This includes the parallel universe storylines involved in Dragon Ball Heroes, which is the same.

Bardos and Weiss exchanged a glance, then nodded and shook their heads.

Lin Chuan didn't ask any more questions, but waited for their answer.

Champa was quite docile at this point, because this was a completely new area for him.

"Actually, Lin Chuan, you should have noticed that every breakthrough you make and every increase in your strength follows a certain pattern."

"Once your strength reaches a certain level, you will need a higher-level transformation to make another significant increase in strength."

"To achieve a higher level of transformation, a higher level of power is required."

"For example: the power of your own awakened bloodline."

"For example: divine power that only gods can cultivate and possess!"

……

As Weiss's words entered his ears, Lin Chuan absorbed the meaning within them without missing a single detail.

Weiss's advice did indeed make Lin Chuan realize the key point.

Although he had thought of these things long ago and knew them, having them brought up in public made Lin Chuan feel like he was invisible.

Everything about him was exposed to the angels.

They could see through everything about him, but they just never said it.

Now, when they speak out, they are also advising him and helping him choose the right path.

"So, does that mean only by accepting your legacy and becoming an apprentice angel can I break through the limitations again, or rather, be recognized by the world's rules and become stronger?" Lin Chuan directly revealed the truth.

Isn't this exactly what they're trying to say?

"The fact that you figured it out so quickly shows that you are truly a promising talent."

"Not everyone can become an intern angel, nor can everyone inherit my legacy."

"We angels never choose our successor easily, especially me. I haven't done so for countless years... You are an exception, Lin Chuan."

After saying that, Bados revealed a playful expression.

In her mind, she added: "This time, you can't refuse, can you? Why don't you just give in?"

The scene quickly fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Lin Chuan stood there, stunned.

It can be said that since he transmigrated until now, he has truly felt a sense of powerlessness.

If anyone else said these words to him, he would think it was nonsense.

But having reached this level, I've become increasingly aware of how difficult it is to go any further.

He doesn't believe that the two angels are intentionally deceiving him.
