Chapter 972 Unbelievable Learning Ability

"Lord Beerus!"

Weiss shouted, and at the same time, he struck the ground with his angel staff. The invisible force field immediately strengthened, and a protective shield enveloped them inside.

Weiss felt that if this impact spread, the entire universe would be at risk of being destroyed.

The next instant, the God of Destruction's energy ball collided with Lu Li's modified Kamehameha, the two energies annihilated each other, as if endless power was dissipating from it.

Even Beerus was very serious. He was no longer in a playful state. Moreover, he was surrounded by the energy of a God of Destruction, and his overall attributes had increased significantly in Lu Li's scouting vision.

Beerus pressed forward with one hand, his aura manifesting as he propelled his destructive energy sphere to annihilate Lu Li's Kamehameha wave.

It wasn't that Beerus was competitive, but rather that he believed the disaster could only be quelled by destroying Lu Li's strange energy sphere with the energy ball.

Once he destroys Lu Li's qigong, his destructive energy ball will naturally dissipate before it even touches Lu Li.

However, Lu Li did not immediately realize the seriousness of the situation, mainly because he had too much faith in Weiss's power and thought he could unleash his full strength at will.

Therefore, after his energy wave was briefly suppressed, it burst forth with even greater power and pressed down on Beerus.

This change surprised Beerus quite a bit, because the continuous output of ki, that is, the consumption of ki through waves, is enormous.

Based on his understanding of Lu Li's strength, he believed that Lu Li should be exhausted by now, but Lu Li seemed to have no energy depletion at all, and was still continuously pouring power into his qigong.

“Mr. Lu Li, you can stop now. If you keep going like this, I might knock you out.”

With a flash, Weiss appeared beside Lu Li and offered a friendly reminder.

Lu Li then withdrew from the battle. Hearing what Weiss said, he was puzzled, but he still stopped using his strength.

Once the energy blast loses its support, the forward propulsion is insufficient. Beerus quickly overwhelmed Lu Li's Kamehameha wave with his destructive energy.

Beerus's control over his ki was clearly superior to Lu Li's. After destroying Lu Li's ki with a large amount of destructive energy, the powerful energy ball dissipated instantly when it pressed down in front of Lu Li.

"Hmph, Weiss, you're being a bit nosy."

Beerus snorted in dissatisfaction, thinking that Weiss had interrupted his sparring with Lu Li and spoiled his fun.

"Lord Beerus, remember this is your home. Even if I can stabilize the universe and prevent its destruction, won't your castle vanish without a trace?"

Weiss said with a smile.

Beerus was somewhat speechless, unable to refute, and felt that what Weiss said also made sense.

He could also sense that unless he was determined to kill Lu Li, he wouldn't be able to instantly destroy Lu Li's energy wave.

Lu Li's output power was inexhaustible, and the black and white light within his qi was intertwined, as if yin and yang were constantly creating. Waves of destructive power collided with his God of Destruction energy, seemingly without end.

If he used a lot of force, he could indeed force his way through, but he was afraid that if he used too much force, he would lose control and destroy Lu Li.

"Hey, Lu Li, you're not allowed to use your qigong in ordinary cosmic environments. If you dare to disrupt the balance of the universe, I'll destroy you."

Beerus looked at Lu Li again and felt that the new Kamehameha that Lu Li was unleashing was really too dangerous.

Moreover, Lu Li is unlike him; he clearly cannot freely control the release and release of his qi. Or rather, Lu Li's shooting-type qi is like an arrow that cannot be turned back once it's released, unlike his energy ball, which can be manipulated, moved, and retrieved.

"I'm sorry, it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. I made some minor modifications to the Qigong on Earth, and I didn't expect it to be so powerful."

Lu Li chuckled and said that he was telling the truth. He used to think that the dark substance he got from the demon god deep in his soul could weaken and corrupt the enemy, but he did not expect that compressing it as energy and releasing it in the form of qigong would be so powerful.

The Dragon Ball world's ki stunts that require charging up have many drawbacks, such as long charging time and the possibility of revealing weaknesses during the charging process. However, there is one point that Lu Li cannot deny.

That is a highly compressed energy qigong, whose power is absolutely violent enough. It is the explosive move with the highest damage multiplier that Lu Li has mastered so far.

This is why people in the Dragon Ball world always like to use ki blasts as finishing moves during final battles, because ki blasts can blast opponents into dust.

While fists and kicks can only cause minor injuries to an enemy, qigong can potentially destroy the enemy outright; this is its dominant level of damage.

The principle is easy to understand: if you spread a ball of gunpowder flat on the floor and ignite it, it will only sizzle and produce little power. However, if you compress it and put it inside steel, the explosion that occurs when it is ignited will be terrifying.

Qigong involves highly compressing one's soul/qi to generate devastating explosive power. Propelling this qigong towards the enemy naturally results in greater damage than simple punches and kicks.

Of course, if any other explorer were here, even if they could learn Qigong and develop extremely powerful Qigong skills, they would not use it as an option in actual combat.

Unless you're a gunner protected within a large adventure group and used as a pure damage dealer, a lone wolf, or someone like Lu Li who often fights alone, you rarely have the opportunity to use Chi Waves in actual combat.

If you take a second or two to charge up a Kamehameha, that's terrible.
At this level, two seconds is longer than a century for an ordinary person, enough for an opponent to kill you a thousand times over.

After all, once you leave the Dragon Ball world, your opponents won't be so ethical. They'll never just sit there and watch you charge up your energy beam and then obediently counter it.

But Lu Li now felt that he could study the qigong here further and continue to improve it, because he was not an ordinary explorer.

It's not directly related to martial arts talent, but rather because he possesses an Origin Spirit Seed. He can easily add a skill to his Spirit Seed slot after successfully developing it, turning it into a 'passive skill'.

At that time, his fused Kamehameha would be an instant-cast energy wave that does not consume soul energy and has no wind-up, thus becoming practical in combat.

Incidentally, his Origin Spirit Seed had already advanced to the seventh irrigation stage when he successfully fused with the Soul Intent.

The main reason was that when he was deducing the evolution of many martial arts into the Martial Arts Bible, he obtained many new skills in the process. These skills could be used to nourish the Origin Spirit Seed, so the level of the Spirit Seed, which had not been able to advance for a long time, finally changed.

After reaching the seventh stage, there is a very obvious change in the Origin Spirit Seed: previously, when Lu Li put some high-cost skills in it, there might have been a cooldown period, but now there is no cooldown period at all.

Lu Li had previously tried incorporating the Kamehameha into the attack, which had no cooldown. However, as a type of ki blast, while it didn't require a soul source to release, Lu Li still needed to continuously infuse it with power to maintain sustained output.

"Tch, you always manage to come up with something new."

Beerus stopped caring about Lu Li's strangely powerful qi gong. "Did you gain anything just now?"

"Lord Beerus, you're asking a bit too much of me."

Weiss chuckled and said, feeling that Lu Li was so engrossed in the battle just now, and with the devastating clash of energy, how could Lu Li possibly understand the mysteries of destructive energy under such tension?
Moreover, it's unrealistic to expect someone to learn something just by observing the use of destructive energy. "If it's destructive energy, then I think I understand a bit."

However, Lu Li's answer surprised Weiss.

"What!? You say you understand?"

Weiss said in surprise, "Lu Li, this is no joke."

Lu Li smiled and said, "How could I joke about cultivation? Lord Beerus has been teaching me so diligently. If I don't learn something from his guidance, wouldn't I be letting him down?"

As he spoke, he opened his palm, his fingers curling into a claw shape.

Immediately afterwards, a dark purple energy began to gather in his palm, surprising both Beerus and Whis.

Because they realized that the energy in Lu Li's hand was truly destructive energy; Lu Li wasn't just talking.

Beerus and Whis exchanged a glance, both sensing the absurdity in each other's eyes. They hadn't expected that Lu Li had only watched one exchange and already grasped the basics.

To be honest, Beerus was just itching to fight Lu Li. The Professor of Destruction's energy was just an excuse. Who knew that Lu Li could actually learn it after watching it only once?

They haven't even... explained the principles of the God of Destruction's energy to Lu Li yet!

Snapped--

Just like a balloon bursting, the energy of the God of Destruction in Lu Li's hand suddenly deflated and dissipated.

Seeing this, Lu Li frowned slightly. "It seems it's not that easy. This power is somewhat difficult to control."

Beerus laughed upon seeing this, "Hahaha, Lu Li, cultivating the energy of a God of Destruction isn't that easy. Don't rush, take your time, I will..."

He was about to say that he would teach Lu Li slowly later, but then he saw Lu Li start to gather destructive energy in his palm again.

This time, the destructive energy that was condensed was far more stable than before. A small, dark purple ball of light condensed in Lu Li's hand, just like the destructive energy ball that Beerus had used before.

"Hey, Weiss."

Beerus was somewhat dumbfounded and called out to Weiss.

"Lord Beerus, I know what you want to say, and that's what I want to say too."

Weiss said, his eyes revealing an absurdity.

To be honest, as an angel, Whis has seen many powerful beings, and Beerus is not the first God of Destruction he has ever led.

Having seen so many powerful individuals, Weiss had never seen anyone with such extraordinary learning abilities.

How can you say that by fighting a God of Destruction once and seeing his destructive energy ball, you can learn everything from the laws of destruction to his techniques?
This doesn't feel like learning at all; it's more like copying and pasting skills.

"Lord Beerus, is this how you use destructive energy?"

Lu Li shook the destructive energy ball in his hand and humbly asked for guidance.

Beerus was somewhat speechless, but still cleared his throat and said, "Well, as my successor, you've done a good job, but you can't be arrogant. There are still many advanced uses for destructive energy, so you need to keep up the good work."

Seeing this, Weiss couldn't help but chuckle, but he also had to admit that Lu Li's learning talent was too outrageous. "Lu Li, from now on you will follow me to cultivate. This is also for the safety of Lord Beerus's castle."

Weiss felt that Lu Li was a bit reckless, and Beerus was sometimes quite foolish. If the two of them started fighting while training, something bad was bound to happen again. It would be better for Weiss to personally teach him.

"Then I'll have to trouble Weiss."

Lu Li was naturally more than happy to accept this, because he knew that Whis was a stronger opponent, who had mastered the perfect Ultra Instinct and was far superior to Beerus in terms of skill level.

Moreover, when it comes to teaching apprentices, Whis is definitely more experienced, while Beerus is ultimately a bit too carefree and not very suitable for teaching.

And so, Lu Li began a new round of training with Beerus and Whis.

Since his mastery of power had reached a high level, while requiring Lu Li to continue his training in shattering the blue crystal, Weiss also began to teach him the core of the Ultra Instinct technique.

Clearly, Weiss is also a top-notch teacher who knows how to teach according to students' individual needs.

He didn't teach Lu Li to serve Beerus to sleep like he did in the original story, because Lu Li had already surpassed that basic level.

The training he had Lu Li undergo was directly into combat. Lu Li didn't need to sleep; he would train his power control in the morning and fight Weiss in the afternoon, from noon until dawn.

During the battle, Lu Li made an astonishing discovery: even though Weiss suppressed his attributes to a level similar to his own, Lu Li's punches and kicks were still unable to touch Weiss.

Weiss's attribute suppression wasn't a true attribute suppression; Lu Li could only sense that his opponent wasn't using stronger power or speed than him.

With both sides moving at similar speeds, he was unable to hit Weiss, which Lu Li found quite absurd.

Although he already knew the characteristics of the Ultimate Freedom Technique, Lu Li felt that he had mastered martial arts and his combat skills had advanced to the Saint Transformation level, so he was definitely a master.

He never imagined that in a battle where there was little difference in strength and speed, he would one day find himself unable to even touch anyone.

Of course, he did not use the causal soul intent to manipulate Weiss during the battle. If he had used it, he believed he could still have defeated Weiss, but that would not have been in line with Lu Li's original intention of cultivation.

He wanted to figure out why Weiss was able to dodge his attacks so perfectly, and thus learn this extraordinary combat ability.

"Lu Li, do you think that as long as you use that power to alter cause and effect, you can touch me?"

During the battle, Weiss casually dodged Lu Li's attacks, and mentioned Lu Li's causal soul intent in his words.

"I won't use it; that would make cultivation meaningless."

Lu Li shook his head.

However, Weiss smiled and said, "Why don't you give it a try?"
