"What the hell?!" Burter muttered, his voice filled with disbelief. "Wait... Could you be the one Frieza's been after?!" Jeice suddenly realized something, his gaze locking onto Jiang Chen with growing horror. "Heh, so you're not completely clueless." Jiang Chen chuckled, his aura continuing to surge. A powerful force rippled through the air, parting the clouds above. At the same time, he casually placed a Senzu Bean in his mouth. He had already sensed their energy before they landed. They weren't quite as strong as in the original timeline— Jeice's power level was only 45,000, and Burter's was 40,000, slightly lower than their recorded peak. Even so, they still outclassed him in raw strength. Even Burter alone was stronger than him. Jiang Chen knew he could probably hold his own against Burter, but Jeice would be a different story. This was going to be a tough fight so he needed to be fully prepared. His eyes flickered toward the horizon. There, his backup plan was in place. Before Bardock's squad had arrived, he had already set up a projection system within his ship. If things went south, he had an escape route. Because while he sought growth through battle, he wasn't foolish enough to throw his life away. Even in a world where death wasn't necessarily permanent, he had no intention of being reckless. "You're getting cocky, kid!" "A power level of 38,000 means nothing when I'm at 45,000!" "Prepare to die!" Jeice roared, the shock in his eyes now replaced by sheer aggression. "Is that so?" "We'll see who's heading to the afterlife." Jiang Chen's smirk widened as his energy erupted once more. This time, he held nothing back. As his aura blazed around him, his Saiyan blood roared in response. His power level, already at 38,000, began climbing further. Not just by a little— but by hundreds at a time. "You want to die that badly?!" Jeice's expression darkened when he saw this and without hesitation, he charged. He was Fast. Incredibly fast. While Jeice wasn't the fastest in the universe, his sheer power made him almost impossible to track with the naked eye. But even if Jiang Chen couldn't see him— His body could still react. "Boom!" Jiang Chen instinctively raised his arm and a powerful shockwave erupted as their blows collided. Jeice's eyes flickered with surprise. But he didn't let up. "Boom!" "Rumble!" The battle ignited in full force. Waves of energy exploded outward, ripping through the sky and shattering the ground below. In the anime, such destruction might have seemed standard. But in reality, the sheer force of warriors with power levels exceeding 40,000 was beyond comprehension. This wasn't just a battle. This was a test of survival. ... A Battle Power surpassing 10,000 grants a powerhouse the ability to shatter a planet with sheer destructive energy. At 40,000, even the mere clash of fists can send shockwaves that warp the very skies. At this moment, as Jiang Chen and Jeice exchange relentless blows, the entire planet trembles beneath their might. The heavens churn as dark clouds are torn asunder, while the vast land cracks and crumbles under the force of their battle. "Boom!" "Boom!" Thunderous explosions ripple through the sky as two figures continue to collide at blinding speed in mid-air. With a Battle Power of 45,000, Jeice quickly gains the upper hand against Jiang Chen in the fight. In the world of martial arts, at least in the early days, a disparity of more than twenty percent in strength is often an insurmountable gulf. 45,000 against 38,000 may not breach that threshold, but an eighteen percent gap is still enough to weigh heavily on Jiang Chen. Each clash sends tremors through his body. "Boom!" Another impact and Jiang Chen is hurled backward through the sky with a thin trail of blood forming at the corner of his mouth. And yet, a smile creeps onto his face. Jeice's strength is undeniable, far exceeding his own. Even with Jiang Chen's mastery over Ki, securing victory would be a very challenging task. But Jeice's power is not as overwhelming as he had imagined. He can suppress Jiang Chen— but that's the only thing he can do, he can only suppress him. He is not an imminent threat to his life. Seeing the smirk on Jiang Chen's face, Jeice scowls. "Hey, you! How long do you plan to just stand there?" "He can't take me down alone!" Jeice's frustration grows, but Jiang Chen's lighthearted chuckle only fuels his anger. "Jeice!" From a distance, Burter's sharp gaze locks onto the fight. "Do it!" Jeice's face darkens, but he knows the truth— he cannot defeat Jiang Chen alone. Gritting his teeth, he finally gives the signal. Burter's eyes gleam. In an instant, he vanishes from sight. "So fast!" Jiang Chen's pupils contract and a flicker of shock appeared in his gaze. His instincts take over, and he raises his arm— "Boom!" A colossal force erupts, sending him hurtling through the sky like a meteor. "Boom!" "Boom!" A distant mountain range crumbles as his body crashes through it. Moments later, Jiang Chen stumbles forward from the debris. His breath is unsteady, his aura weakened. "Such monstrous speed...!" Wiping blood from his mouth, his eyes sharpen with newfound focus. "Hahaha! You low-class Saiyan! It's over for you! I am the fastest in the universe!" Burter's mocking voice cuts through the battlefield. "Fastest in the universe?" Jiang Chen scoffs. Burter's speed is indeed formidable. But to call himself the fastest in the entire universe? "Tch, you talk too much!" Burter's smirk twists into a snarl. "Let's end this! We'll take him together!" Jeice's voice cuts in. "Fine by me!" Burter nods. In a flash, they move, and the battle resumes. Now, with Burter in the mix, Jiang Chen finds himself in dire straits. Yet his honed instincts keep him alive, even without the mastery of Ultra Instinct. "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Shockwaves erupt across the battlefield. The sheer force of their battle reshapes the land, carving deep chasms into the earth's crust. Not far away, a dormant volcano awakens from centuries of slumber, spewing molten fury into the sky. As the battle intensifies, the planet itself teeters on the brink of destruction. But amid the chaos, something begins to shift within Jiang Chen. From struggling to hold his ground, he starts pushing back. His Saiyan blood surges, his power rising with every moment. Jeice and Burter exchanged uneasy glances when they saw this. Jiang Chen is clearly injured, yet his Battle Power continues to climb. (To Be Continued)
