Chapter 951 Beerus: Are you the Super Saiyan God?

Before Lu Li could even utter "Call me 'Bean Bag'", the small ball of light in Beerus's hand fell towards the planet.

The destructive energy of the God of Destruction made Lu Li wary, so he drew his sword without hesitation.

Amidst the surprised gazes of the strangely-looking creatures on this planet, and the astonished expressions of Beerus and the angel Whis beside him, the ball of light shot by Beerus grazed Lu Li's extended blade intent.

But this did not have a devastating effect. On the contrary, the light sphere was as if its cause and effect had been reversed, and its release direction was altered, causing it to shoot towards another uninhabited planet.

The next instant, the destructive energy erupted upon contact with the planet, obliterating it completely.

"Oh? There are actually such powerful individuals on this planet?"

Beerus said with some surprise, "How come I didn't notice that before?"

"Because Lord Beerus was too busy eating."

Whis smiled slightly and said, "He is extremely tall, with blue-green skin and long white curly hair. His pupils and lips are purple, and there is a large light blue halo around his neck. He stands tall and straight, looking like a waiter next to Beerus."

Lu Li, who was familiar with the plot, knew that Whis was more of a 'cat lover' than a waiter. As an angel, he was actually more powerful than Beerus, the God of Destruction.

"Tsk... but the food on this planet is really awful."

Beerus grumbled, saying he had given this planet, which was part of his work plan, a chance, but unfortunately they hadn't offered him any delicious food.

After saying that, Beerus looked down at Lu Li and said, "This is the... what... super... bean sprout that I dreamed about..."

"It is the Super Saiyan God."

Weiss reminded him from the side.

"Oh, right, it's Super Saiyan God, the guy who can fight me."

Beerus confirmed this, then descended vertically onto the planet, silencing all life on it.

"Beelzebub, the God of Destruction..."

Lu Li's gaze was also fixed on Beerus, while his peripheral vision swept over the angel Whis who was following Beerus.

Within his reconnaissance range, he could actually see Beerus's attributes, which were normally around 265 points. However, he couldn't quite make out Whis's attributes. As the 'guardian' of the strongest God of Destruction, Whis's strength was clearly among the top of the angels.

Are you a Super Saiyan God?

Beerus looked at Lu Li and asked bluntly.

When Lu Li heard Beerus ask this question, he roughly understood what his current timeline meant. Although the Dragon Ball manga also mentioned the timeline, Lu Li focused more on the plot and didn't pay attention to the timeline when reading the manga. However, if he asked Aizen, he would probably be able to clearly understand where he was in time.

But there's no need to ask Aizen now. Beerus speaking to him like this means that he has just woken up from his slumber and is currently looking for Goku.

"Unfortunately, I am neither a Super Saiyan God nor a Saiyan."

Lu Li said, then smiled, "However, if Lord Beerus wants to find an opponent to play with, I can oblige."

"Oh?"

Beerus seemed to have taken a liking to it. His greatest hobby in his cat life was food, and secondly, in the midst of his long and boring life, he would also like to find some interesting opponents to fight, since the Omni-King stipulated that Gods of Destruction could not fight each other.

Once the battle between Gods of Destruction is discovered, the Omni-King will erase them, making Beerus's days in Universe 7 quite boring.

This time, he dreamed of a warrior he could fight, namely the Super Saiyan God, which made him eager to come out and do his work.

Well, anyway, the God of Destruction doesn't keep track of his performance. Even if he sleeps soundly and doesn't destroy planets, no one will bother to check his performance.

Seeing that Lu Li was quite strong and could redirect his attacks to uninhabited planets in strange ways, he felt a little itchy to join in.

"Interesting, it's unlikely you'll defeat me."

Beerus smiled and held up a finger. "How about this? If you can hurt me just once, I'll spare this planet."

He was a capricious god by nature, and there were no rules about which planets had to be destroyed. As long as he was in a good mood, he didn't care if he let a planet go.

"Then it's settled."

Lu Li grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth. "Besides, if I were to kill you, that would still count, wouldn't it?"

Despite his initial identity suggesting he could become a candidate for God of Destruction, Lu Li wasn't going to let go of this rare opportunity to fight. Aizen was right; he would also get itchy hands when he saw a strong opponent.

In particular, he could sense a unique fighter's aura from Beerus, indicating that the opponent was definitely a master of combat, rather than just relying on attributes and the power of a God of Destruction to maintain appearances.

"Hahaha... Weiss, did you hear that? He said he's going to kill me."

Beerus was not angry when he heard this. On the contrary, he felt very pleased. Then, he elegantly put one hand behind his back, stretched out one hand towards Lu Li, bent it inward, and beckoned to Lu Li.

Seeing this, Lu Li didn't hold back and, under the terrified gazes of the intelligent life on this planet, began to draw his sword against Beerus.

Scarlett became even more radiant after the new gems were inlaid, and the speed at which the demon emerged from her body was so fast that Whis narrowed his eyes, while Beerus's eyes revealed a hint of solemnity.

Ding--

Amidst the clanging of metal, Lu Li's Demon Prisoner was stopped by Beerus's cat claws, which were wrapped in the energy of the God of Destruction. A slight spark erupted, followed by a shockwave that dissipated.

This prompted Weiss to raise his scepter and tap it in the void, creating an invisible barrier that saved the planet beneath their feet from destruction.

No, this is not just about the planet we are on. In the collision between Beerus and Lu Li just now, Beerus was alright, as he controlled his power quite well.

But Lu Li's strike was wide and powerful, with unrestrained sword intent. The shockwaves from the collision were enough to destroy hundreds of galaxies the size of the Milky Way.

After a brief exchange, Lu Li distanced himself and realized the risks of their battle. Fortunately, the invisible force field that Weiss had created was powerful enough to allow them to fight briefly without affecting the entire universe.

"That's quite impressive power. Are you really not a Super Saiyan God?" Beerus looked at his slightly cracked fingernails, and a rare fighting spirit appeared in his eyes.

Lu Li held the Demon Prisoner in his hand at his side. It wasn't that he wanted to use the advantage of weapons to bully others, but the fighting style in this universe generally didn't rely on weapons, and his strongest specialty was swordsmanship. He didn't need to fight hand-to-hand with an opponent whose attributes were much stronger than his own.

Moreover, through that probing exchange, Lu Li discovered the extraordinary nature of the world's powerful individuals. To the naked eye, Beerus's body showed no signs of dissipating energy, lacked the explosive aura of Earthlings, and appeared utterly unremarkable.

But Beerus has actually reached a state of returning to simplicity. His God of Destruction energy is concentrated inside his body and attached to his skin, so attacks that are not strong enough are not even a tickle to him.

In terms of physical resistance alone, Beerus is not that outrageous. The sharpness of the Demon Hunter after the new gem is inlaid can definitely cut through Beerus's skin easily.

Beerus's skin also contains the energy of a god of destruction, allowing him to withstand the impact of sharp blades without being easily cut.

This is why many martial artists and warriors in this world don't rely heavily on weapons. The combat system in this world is extremely developed in the use of energy; they use energy to protect themselves and to fight.

When Lu Li was a child, he was very interested in watching videos about energy clashing. Now, looking at it from the perspective of a pioneer, he realizes that this kind of simple energy clash is not just a simple numerical comparison.

Because a truly powerful individual can unleash tremendous power with very little energy.

Just like how Earthlings' combat power is not high in the combat power detector, but it will temporarily increase after they burst into energy, and it will become even higher when they release their energy blast, that is because they can use energy efficiently.

Once you master the use of Qi, you can attack enemies or defend yourself.

To give a ridiculous example, Goku saved the universe several times, yet he was still shot with a shotgun at the beginning of Dragon Ball Super.

In Wukong's own words, he had been too lazy in his cultivation because he was working in the fields every day, and his body had become rusty. When he said his body was rusty, he didn't mean that his physical body was actually rusty, but rather that he had neglected the use of his qi, resulting in his body surface not having a standard level of defense.

From this perspective, it becomes clear that Dragon Ball is a combat system primarily based on the use of ki or energy. Each person's physical strength is not particularly outrageous, which is fundamentally different from someone like Lu Li, whose physical attribute points are naturally so high.

At this moment, Beerus in front of Lu Li was the same. Although Beerus had extraordinary talent and belonged to a powerful race, his pure physical attributes would not be very exaggerated if he did not have the energy of the God of Destruction.

In response to Beerus's question, Lu Li simply smiled and said, "I have heard of Super Saiyans, but Super Saiyan God should not have appeared yet."

With that, he attacked again, exchanging thousands of blows with Beerus in the blink of an eye.

Beerus initially dealt with the situation using only one hand, but later switched to using both hands, and his gaze became increasingly serious.

"Lord Beerus, be careful, the next strike will be even more powerful."

Lu Li gave a reminder, not wanting to be suspected of a sneak attack. Then he activated the Myriad Realms Divine Speed. With his powerful surge, Lu Li's speed distorted space and time, and even Weiss's barrier showed some abnormalities.

Lu Li's constantly improving Heavenly Cripple Step, combined with a triple speed boost, left Beerus momentarily speechless.

Immediately afterwards, the Demon Slayer slashed out, and blood splattered in the starry sky, leaving a wound on Beerus's chest.

When Weiss saw this, his eyes were also filled with surprise. Although he thought that the knife in Lu Li's hand was indeed very sharp, he did not expect that Lu Li could actually hurt Beerus.

Although Beerus's mastery of Ultra Instinct was not yet perfect, it should still be sufficient to deal with any attack, allowing him to easily dodge or parry it.

However, Lu Li not only used extreme speed to make Beerus unable to react, but also used the same power that had previously caused Beerus's attack to deflect. This caused Beerus to dodge the attack with Ultra Instinct, and the cause and effect were reversed again. Moreover, due to the discomfort caused by the reversal, Beerus was left wide open and was directly hit in a vital spot.

If Beerus's God of Destruction energy hadn't been so powerful and his strength so formidable, this strike would have already decided the outcome in a normal battle.

"what's your name?"

Beerus felt the surging energy within his body, which even the energy of the God of Destruction could not stop, constantly eroding his body.

Rather, the instant he was injured, a domineering force within him destroyed much of his vitality, causing him great discomfort.

Gods of Destruction are not good at healing, and neither are Supreme Kais. However, trainee Supreme Kais often have some amazing healing methods.

Beerus never expected that he would actually be injured in the battle while just playing around, and that the injury would be quite serious.

It could even be said that if Lu Li had pressed his advantage earlier, he would have been at risk of death due to his reckless actions in the battle.

At this moment, Beerus dared not be careless anymore. His fighting spirit rose, and the pain stimulated his nerves, making his body, which had just woken up from a long slumber and was still a little stiff, come alive.

"Lu Li, a human being who has left his homeland."

Lu Li brandished his sword, blood surging, and asked, "Lord Beerus, can you fulfill your previous promise?"

"Lu Li, what an interesting human."

Beerus ran his hand over the blood on his chest. "We're not even decided yet."

As he spoke, his cat-like eyes stared at Lu Li, his powerful God of Destruction aura sweeping over Lu Li's mind, causing Lu Li's blood to boil.

But Lu Li sheathed the Demon Prisoner, saying, "I'm not fighting anymore. I only want to fight Lord Beerus in his prime. You should treat your injuries as soon as possible."

"Kid... are you underestimating me!?"

Beerus's voice was filled with anger. He was usually a very polite god, and he would never use honorifics or derogatory terms when talking to people. It was clear that he was really angry at this moment.

"I don't mean to underestimate Lord Beerus. Even though you are injured now, if you were to go all out and get serious, you would probably have the ability to kill me."

Lu Li shook his head and said, "However, my power contains a certain element of initial killing. I hope to spar more with strong people like you, rather than simply engaging in one-off battles."

Upon hearing this, Beerus's fierce expression vanished, and he looked at Lu Li with some confusion. "What do you want?"

"It's very simple."

Lu Li smiled and glanced at Whis, "I hope to study Ultra Instinct with Lord Beerus and this Lord Whis next to you."

"Oh?"

Beerus had already suppressed his anger, never expecting Lu Li to have this intention. "You want to become the God of Destruction?"
