Dragon Ball, simultaneously traversing countless worlds

Learning some healing magic can complement his natural talents.

In the later stages of his training, Piccolo no longer needed to consume Senzu Beans and relied on healing magic to overcome many crises.

Chapter 76 Piccolo's Revenge

After four months, Piccolo's combat power increased to 800, but then entered a phase of slow growth. The powerful spider monsters on Spider Planet could no longer put pressure on Piccolo, so Piccolo's training was temporarily suspended.

"That's good progress. To reach this level in four months has exceeded my expectations."

Inside the spaceship, Luo Yan finished his seclusion and praised Bick's progress.

"Master, my current strength is enough to defeat that Saiyan named Turles, right? Please release him so I can fight him."

Luo Yan nodded: "Although there is still a difference of two hundred combat power, you are not without the ability to fight him with magic and secret techniques."

Luo Yan released Dales from the seal.

Despite not eating for four months while sealed in compression, Darles did not weaken.

Within the seal, Darles' life activities were reduced to a minimum. He could go without food or water for four months or even ten years without any effect.

Darles was trapped in the seal, unaware of anything, and was suddenly released, leaving him somewhat dazed.

Only when he saw Bick and Luo Yan in front of him did he realize that he had become someone else's prisoner.

"Dares, come out and have some fun! Give my disciple a good fight!"

Darles looked at Little Bick, and the combat power detector beeped and displayed a number.

"Combat power of 800? Damn it, how long have you been holding me captive?" Darles' face turned ashen.

"How long? Not long, maybe four months!"

"What? Four months? Are you kidding me?" Darles shouted. "This brat can become this strong in just four months?"

Darles himself, as a low-ranking Saiyan warrior, reached a power level of 1000 after more than ten years of training! Could this kid possibly have even higher Saiyan fighting talent?

Darles was astonished, but Piccolo had no time for such nonsense and stepped forward directly: "Dares, let's settle the score today for the torment you inflicted on me!"

"Kid, you think you can defeat me with just 800 combat points?"

Darles boldly accepted Bick's challenge.

The two sides disembarked from the spaceship and arrived at the barren surface of Spider Planet.

"A battle isn't just about who has the higher numbers!" Piccolo shouted, his figure already rushing towards Darles with lightning speed.

After four months of growth, Piccolo grew into an eleven or twelve-year-old boy at a rate far exceeding that of an ordinary Namekian.

He absorbed the Great Demon King's battle memories and inherited techniques, and systematically learned many moves, magic, and secret arts from Luo Yan.

The moment he made his move, his aura was completely different from what it had been four months ago.

Four months ago, Bick would only throw wild punches out of instinct.

Four months later, Bick's attack was fierce, his punches like a soaring dragon, the air was pushed apart layer by layer, and he made a rumbling sound like muffled thunder.

Darles' pupils contracted as he tried to test Piccolo's strength. He braced his arms in front of him like an impenetrable wall, taking the brunt of Piccolo's punch.

boom!

Darles dragged his feet half a meter across the ground, leaned back, and felt a tingling numbness in his arms.

"Is that all?" Darles was surprised by Piccolo's strength, but he said sarcastically.

"Only this much!!" A vein throbbed on Piccolo's forehead.

"Stop talking big. This level of skill is more than enough to deal with you, you stinky monkey!"

Piccolo stomped his right foot on the ground, causing the rocks beneath him to crack. The immense force traveled up his calf to his waist, and with the help of his waist, Piccolo unleashed an even more powerful blow with his left hand, which was loosely clenched at his waist.

The punch landed squarely on Darles' temple.

Even with the protection of qi, a blow to the temple, a vulnerable area, can cause Darles tremendous damage.

boom!

Darles raised his arm again to block Piccolo's punch. He had already tested Piccolo's strength and dared not take it head-on this time. He shifted his weight to the side and moved his body to the other side.

Darles then retaliated with a punch, his fist like a venomous snake, passing through Piccolo's open space and slamming into Piccolo's ribs.

Bick quickly swept his right hand downwards, knocking Darles' arm off course.

The battle between the two quickly escalated to a fever pitch, with various dangerous moves being used in close combat.

Darles is experienced and steady, and when he sees an opportunity, he strikes with a vicious move.

Piccolo is exceptionally talented and has great potential for growth. He learns while fighting and repeatedly uses secret magic to resolve crises.

Although Darles' fighting strength was still higher than Piccolo's, he was unable to defeat Piccolo immediately after a series of exchanges.

Darles then retreated abruptly, creating distance in an attempt to overwhelm Piccolo in terms of energy output and gain an advantage for himself.

Darles conjured energy balls in his hands and threw them at Piccolo.

"Kid, turn to dust!" Darles laughed wildly, endless energy balls gushing from his hands, quickly turning the battlefield into a mess, filled with dust and smoke.

"A crude attack method; you shouldn't waste energy like that."

Piccolo's voice came from within the smoke. When the dust settled, Piccolo was seen spreading his arms out in a spherical barrier, providing a 360-degree defense that had successfully blocked all the attacks without taking any damage.

Techniques like energy barriers are considered advanced skills, and many aliens under Frieza's command couldn't learn them, yet a kid mastered them so easily.

Darles finally realized how troublesome Piccolo was. With just that energy barrier, it would take him a lot of effort to defeat this brat.

Fortunately, he was stronger than the brat in terms of energy. If he were weaker than Piccolo, it would be even more difficult for Darles to break through Piccolo's barrier.

Darles unleashed his trump card.

"Penetrating bullet!"

Darles clasped his hands together, curled his little and ring fingers inward, and extended his middle and index fingers outward. He concentrated the energy in his body into his outward-extended fingers, and in the next second, he fired a sniper bullet, shooting out a beam of light.

Click!

Faced with this attack that concentrated all its energy, Piccolo's barrier cracked open.

The defensive power of the energy barrier varies from person to person; the more energy in the body, the higher the upper limit of attacks the barrier can withstand.

If Luo Yan were to use this energy barrier to block Darles's penetrating bullets, Darles would be unable to break through the barrier even if he were exhausted.

It's only because Bick's energy isn't as deep as Darles's that his barrier was so easily broken.

Even after the energy barrier shattered, Piccolo remained calm and launched a counterattack.

"Practice with blank rounds!"

A dozen or so seemingly ordinary energy blasts were fired by Piccolo at Darles.

Luo Yan's eyes lit up. This practice of empty bullets was one of the secret techniques of the planet Yadrat. He didn't expect that Bick could use it so skillfully, throwing out more than a dozen at once.

The training missile may look like an ordinary energy missile, but its core is actually compressed air.

The compressed air expands and explodes, causing the air to become rarefied within a certain range. The explosion of the energy bomb will continue to bring the air to a near-vacuum state.

The pressure difference between the inside and outside of the air caused by practicing with empty bullets can cause damage to the opponent's eardrums and alveoli within seconds.

Unless they are species whose bodies can survive in the vacuum of space, such as Frieza, all species that cannot adapt to the vacuum environment will be affected to some extent.

Creatures like Saiyans, whose physical structure is similar to that of humans, are almost guaranteed to be affected.

Empty bullets are not very lethal, but they are difficult to defend against because you have no idea whether the opponent's ki blast contains compressed air. If you are not careful, you will be hit.

Practicing air-to-air bullets is like using the Solar Flare technique to create combat opportunities; it's very useful.

Learning to fire blanks isn't difficult, but it depends on the number of shots fired in a short time.

Firing a single practice bullet in an instant is nothing special, but being able to compress a dozen or so practice bullets in a moment is quite impressive, requiring a very high level of control over air.

It would be difficult for a barbarian like Darles, who only knows how to fire energy blasts, to do this.

Darles didn't understand how dangerous it was to practice empty bullets; he just casually used energy bullets to intercept them.

"You say my moves are crude? I see your attacks aren't very sophisticated either," Darles mocked.

The next second, practice rounds exploded around him.

The compressed air burst, and the explosion displaced the air, creating a pseudo-vacuum environment. Darles' eardrum was the first to be affected. The huge sound waves and pressure difference caused the ear pressure to become unbalanced, resulting in damage to the middle ear. Darles experienced a moment of blurring and disorientation.

In a fight between martial artists, the outcome can be decided in an instant. Taking advantage of Darles' moment of distraction, Piccolo blasted a Ki Blast into Darles' abdomen.

The powerful impact sent Darles flying a hundred meters. After landing, Darles struggled to his feet, felt a sweet taste in his throat, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You..." Before Darles could finish speaking, Piccolo had already closed in on him and launched an attack.

After being injured due to his distraction, Darles was in a sorry state when faced with Piccolo's relentless attacks. He was hit dozens of times in a short time, and many of his bones were broken.

Darles even lost one of his eyes to Piccolo, suffering such severe injuries that he was on the verge of death.

Seeing Darles's appearance, Luo Yan was worried that Bick might accidentally kill Darles, so he quickly intervened to stop him.

"That's enough. If you keep hitting him, you'll kill him."

Bick's hand was tightly gripped by Luo Yan. He was panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot. It took a while for the anger and resentment in his heart to dissipate, and he stopped attacking.

Luo Yan gave Darles a quick treatment, keeping him alive, and then resealed him.

"Master, what are we going to do next? Where are we going after leaving this planet? Are we going back to Earth?"

After calming down, Bick asked somewhat blankly and aimlessly.

"Next, let's go find the fruit of the Spirit Tree. Once we get that thing, our strength can both be raised to another level," Luo Yan said casually.

From Darles's mind, Luo Yan learned that the Spirit Tree was in a place called Garden Star.

The Cornishrex clan, relatives of Beerus, the God of Destruction, lived on Garden Star. After Beerus became the God of Destruction, his people were entrusted by him to take care of the Spirit Tree and provide him with food regularly.

Even if it weren't for obtaining the fruit of the Spirit Tree, Luo Yan still wanted to go to Garden Star to see this race that could give birth to two Gods of Destruction.

Chapter 77 Frost's Line

Luo Yan's current combat strength is no longer easily measured by numbers.

However, if we have to measure it in numbers, after refining Tiga's dark energy, his combat power has already exceeded one billion.
