Chapter 1001 Lu Li's Near-Death Enhancement

"Wow, Lu Li, where did you find Broly?"

Goku rose from the dust, his entire form completely dispelled and his ki nearly depleted. "I've truly lost to him. This is the first time I've ever seen such a powerful Saiyan."

Broly flew down from the sky and landed on a small platform constructed in the subspace, completely unaware of the profound impact he had on Goku and the others.

Vegeta frowned as he stood by; he was the first to go up, but he couldn't beat Broly either.

Of course, neither he nor Goku used Ultra Instinct or Ultra Instinct. If they had activated those forms, their stats could have been very high for a short period of time.

But Lu Li said that if that were the case, Broly could also use Super Saiyan FULLPOWER, and then the battle would be difficult to end.

If Broly only uses Super Saiyan form and Goku and the others only use Super Saiyan Blue form, they cannot defeat Broly.

What Vegeta found most outrageous was that Broly could suppress their Super Saiyan form even without activating any special abilities.

The difference in these basic values ​​was so huge that it made him doubt the nobility of his Saiyan bloodline as a prince.

"The green-haired form is the Demon Saiyan that is said to be born only once every thousand years in Saiyan legend. I didn't expect the legend to be true."

Vegeta remarked from the side, "Broly, you have great talent, but you lack training."

Broly scratched his head, "But you guys can't beat me."

Vegeta was speechless for a moment, feeling as if his heart had been stabbed. "I'm not talking about fighting power. Your body is very strong, probably the strongest among the Saiyans, but your fighting skills are not up to par. Otherwise, with your strength, Kakarot and I would not have been able to fight you for so long."

"Yes, Broly, you really need to learn how to control your power, otherwise we won't be able to spar outside anymore, and our lifespans will also decrease in the warp."

Wukong chimed in, "Besides, with your immense power, it would be a shame if you didn't learn to use it skillfully."

Because Broly's fighting style was too wild and violent, in order to prevent him from destroying the Earth and the universe, Lu Li could only let him spar with Goku and the others in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in the subspace or on Earth.

"Power control... I used to fight wild beasts, so I don't really understand it..."

Broly also realized that Goku and Vegeta were not as strong as him, but they could fight and fight against him, which was a very impressive technique.

"It's alright, I'll teach you. We'll train together from now on and spar whenever we have free time."

Goku smiled broadly, "And Lu Li sometimes comes to give us pointers. He's practically a Saiyan now, so he can set a good example for us."

"Is Lu Li actually a Saiyan?"

This time it was Broly's turn to be surprised. He looked at Lu Li, who was studying the principles of Zamasu's splitting, and said, "He has neither a tail nor can he transform into a Super Saiyan."

"That's true."

As Goku spoke, he looked at Lu Li and asked, "Lu Li, do you really have Saiyan blood?"

Lu Li patted Zamasu on the shoulder, then turned around and said with a smile, "Why don't you give it a try and see?"

"Oh? Lu Li, can you transform into a Super Saiyan now?"

Vegeta's expression changed. He thought to himself that Lu Li was already very strong. If he could transform into a Super Saiyan, wouldn't that be ridiculously overpowered?

After all, even Super Saiyan 1 can increase one's basic combat power fiftyfold.

"Thanks to Tobroly, I have a clue, but it's not quite ready yet. The transformation needs a trigger."

Lu Li said, "But we have other experimental methods."

"how do you want to do it?"

Vegeta asked curiously.

Lu Li took off his outer garment and put all his protective gear into his storage space, leaving him with only a pair of loose training trousers. He faced the crowd shirtless and said, "It's simple. Come at me all at once and try to beat me to the point of death."

"Lu Li, are you serious?"

Wukong said in surprise.

"Don't worry, I won't fight back. I'll even lower all my defenses. If you still can't hurt me after that, it means you're no longer worth training."

Lu Li grinned and said.

For a moment, the Saiyans felt strongly challenged. If they couldn't even injure an unsuspecting person, they would be too pathetic.

brush--

Instantly, Goku and Vegeta unleashed their power, entering Super Saiyan Blue mode.

Broly hesitated for a moment, then followed the crowd and transformed with his Saiyan brethren, entering Super Saiyan mode.

"Lu Li, don't regret it after you die."

With a wicked smile on his lips, Vegeta was the first to charge forward, unleashing a wave of Prince-style attacks.

Then... he discovered that there wasn't a single mark on Lu Li's body.

"Vegeta, stop testing me, use maximum power!"

Upon seeing this, Wukong instantly understood that Lu Li's physical body was fundamentally different from theirs, and even without defense, they could not easily harm him.

So, disregarding the consequences, Goku ate a Senzu Bean, restored his stamina to its peak, and activated Ultra Instinct, temporarily elevating his stats and combat skills to an extraordinary level.

Vegeta no longer hesitated and activated his Ultra Instinct form, his body wreathed in destructive energy, making him look terrifying.

Broly was surprised to see that the two Saiyans still had such power, but he wasn't angry at the moment. He couldn't activate Super Saiyan Fullpower, and besides, Lu Li had said that it was best not to enter that form again when he couldn't control his rationality.

So for a time, he became the weakest of the three.

After Wukong and the others transformed, their stats finally improved, and their attacks were able to injure Lu Li's body.

"Lu Li, just how strong are you?"

But Wukong quickly exclaimed in amazement, because he felt that in terms of combat power, they were no less than Lu Li, and were even stronger than Lu Li now.

Even so, when his and Vegeta's fists landed on Lu Li, they couldn't cause any obvious damage to Lu Li's body. At most, they only felt the impact and slightly broke his defenses.

"What a monstrous body! Now I know why that guy made that wish to the dragon."

Vegeta glanced at Zamasu, who was trembling behind him, and thought to himself that it was quite outrageous.

They had sparred with Lu Li many times before, but because of Lu Li's superb fighting skills, none of them could hit him.

They never expected that when Lu Li was completely naked and defenseless, their attacks would have no effect on him.

Broly was the same; he attacked Lu Li with all his might, but his punches and kicks couldn't do any damage to Lu Li, making him doubt the fact that Vegeta had just said he was the strongest Saiyan.

"Vegeta, use Ki Blast!"

After fighting for a while, Wukong realized it was useless, so he simply changed his tactics.

Vegeta showed no mercy upon hearing this, not only using his ki blasts but also destructive energy to directly damage Lu Li's body.

boom--

Goku's Kamehameha arrived first, striking Lu Li. Since Lu Li had no defense, he was instantly propelled away by the energy wave. What Goku found absurd was that, despite the powerful energy blast, Lu Li's defenses weren't broken instantly. Instead, Lu Li's body and the Kamehameha held firm for a moment before his skin began to tear.

The power of the qi blast was exhausted when it reached the edge of subspace, and half of Lu Li's body was blasted off.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Goku was panting heavily because his Kamehameha was a full-force attack, and he was still unleashing it.

To his surprise, his move only blasted off half of Lu Li's body, instead of turning Lu Li into dust.

Moreover, Lu Li's physical body was regenerating rapidly, so much so that his body had already fully recovered before Vegeta's destructive energy cannon arrived.

Although I knew Lu Li had this physical characteristic when I fought Zamasu, seeing it in person still felt quite absurd.

"Can Saiyans do this? Why can't I?"

Broly also asked a naive question: he had heard that Lu Li was also a Saiyan, and he thought it was a Saiyan ability.

"Because you are not a monster!"

Amidst the complaints, Vegeta further increased the output power of his ki blast, unleashing the Ultimate Flash, a burst of destructive energy, directly at Lu Li.

boom--

Amidst the deafening roar, Vegeta could feel Lu Li's body being destroyed and disintegrated by energy. Immediately afterward, another massive explosion occurred at the edge of the subspace.

The power of the explosion caused turbulence in the subspace, shattered dimensional barriers, and created terrifying spacetime turbulence outside, with some gaps directly intersecting with the real universe.

Amidst the endless gales, Goku and Vegeta were both panting heavily, anxiously watching the depths of the smoke.

After a few seconds of silence, the gale suddenly stopped, and a gentle breeze dispersed the dust, causing Goku and Vegeta's pupils to shrink.

Lu Li was standing there unharmed, except that his pants were completely destroyed and disappeared due to energy decomposition. Lu Li's body had been restored through super-fast regeneration.

Since there were only men around, Lu Li didn't bother to hide anything and simply teleported back in an instant.

"Did you make it?"

Vegeta asked, having already exited his Ultra Instinct form. He had just exhausted too much energy, and that final attack had infused all his ki into it.

"Hmm... Although it took some effort, at least I was able to undergo a near-death assessment."

Lu Li said that Vegeta's final attack was very effective, mainly because the destructive energy was a mechanical force that could break through Lu Li's defenses and cause him real damage.

It can be said that Vegeta has just accomplished a historic feat, annihilating Lu Li's physical body to ashes, leaving only his true spirit and a trace of physical tissue.

This was definitely a near-death experience. Lu Li didn't use the Returning Dao technique; his physical body simply recovered on its own. He used the Returning Dao technique to repair and check his soul to avoid any future problems.

"What about the Saiyans?"

Wukong asked curiously.

Lu Li was silent for a few seconds, then smiled and beckoned to Zamasu, "Target, come here."

Zamas didn't dare to resist and ran over instantly.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Li threw a punch at Zamasu. He did not activate the Divine Restriction state, but when this punch was thrown, the sky and earth changed color, and in an instant, half of Zamasu's body was blasted off.

"How much stronger have you become?"

Vegeta's expression changed slightly, because he knew that Zamasu's fighting power was extremely high. Being able to directly defeat Zamasu meant that Lu Li had indeed transformed.

"Compared to the original foundation, it is probably eight times stronger."

Lu Li calculated and said that his overall attributes had increased by 4 points. Now, with the bonus from the King of Brawl title, his base value was 265 points.

It can only be said that the Saiyan bloodline's characteristics are indeed very unreasonable. If Lu Li didn't know that he wouldn't be able to improve again without absorbing and digesting it for a period of time, he would have wanted to lie here and let the others continue to bombard him.

After experiencing it firsthand, Lu Li gained a much clearer understanding of the principles behind the Saiyan bloodline's enhancement. Simply put, this near-death enhancement is a comprehensive summary of past combat data, through which potential is unleashed.

Once the Saiyans have adapted to the new intensity and fought many battles against powerful enemies, they can continue to improve their strength by being on the verge of death again.

However, for ordinary Saiyans, there is a limit to the number of times they can improve their strength in this way, and it is also linked to their potential limit. For example, Goku and Vegeta are now on the verge of death and then revived, which has basically no effect because they have already improved in this way too many times.

Lu Li discovered that he might be different. Because of the talent that removed the limiter, he seemed to have no limitations. As long as he adapted to his current stronger body and experienced enough battles, he could continue to improve his attributes when he was near death again. Moreover, this cycle was replicable.

However, accumulating this combat experience requires strong opponents; it cannot be achieved solely through suicidal near-death experiences.

"Tsk, I didn't expect you to be so strong. Our special ability can still work."

Vegeta remarked with emotion, while also feeling proud of the strength of his race.

"Okay, let's call it a day for today's practice. It seems like someone is waiting for you outside, Goku."

Through the rift between the subspace and the mortal realm that Lu Li had previously created, he saw a guest of Bulma's family on Earth—the High Priest.

"Oh, it's the High Priest."

Wukong also saw the figure and found it strange.

"Wukong, if the Omni-King is looking for you and there is any danger, try your best to buy as much time as possible for humanity."

Lu Li felt uneasy after seeing the Grand Priest, wondering if the Omni-King was planning to erase the universe. He needed to tell Goku to be more alert.

"Huh? Is Xiao Quan in any danger?"

Goku was puzzled, since in his opinion, the Omni-King was nothing to be afraid of.

"Just remember what I said."

Lu Li didn't say too much. If he seemed to have some foresight, Wukong would definitely be surprised and get himself involved. It was better to give him a little hint and let Wukong play his true self and improvise.

If Zeno really wanted to erase the universe, Goku, given his personality, would definitely have Zeno try to hold a Tournament of Power. If Goku remembered his words and could delay the tournament, he would have gained something.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Goku left the subspace first. He didn't actually want to go play with Zeno, because that would interfere with his training too much.

While he was playing with Zeno, Vegeta didn't even know how to roll up the ropes.

After seeing Goku off, Lu Li said to Vegeta, "Vegeta, could you please call Buu over when you get back and tell Mr. Satan that I need Buu's power to protect the Earth?"

Vegeta wasn't as naive as Goku; he frowned deeply. "What did you know, talking to Kakarot just now?"

“Some hidden crises are about to arrive, and we need stronger forces.”

Lu Li didn't explain in detail, "Vegeta, believe me, I'm thinking about Universe Seven."

Vegeta disliked Lu Li's riddle-like tone, but he could also sense that Lu Li was very serious, so he just snorted and flew out of subspace to find Buu.

Meanwhile, Lu Li was contacting Aizen in the group chat, saying, "Sousuke, there might be trouble coming."
