Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 980 Hit, Dragon Ball Acquired

Lu Li walked onto the stage unhurriedly, while another contestant stepped out from Champa's side—the ace of Universe 6, Killer Hit.

"A candidate for God of Destruction, huh? You're really strong."

Hit's eyes were fixed on Lu Li. His intuition, honed by years of killing, told him that Lu Li's strength was unfathomable and that if he relaxed even for a moment, he would be defeated.

"Really? Your intuition is better than theirs."

Lu Li had just overheard the two explorers' hushed conversation and greatly admired Hit's keen observation skills.

The reason why people in the divine realm feel that their attributes are low is because they have been cultivating with earthlings recently and have also learned their methods of concealing their energy, thus concealing and disguising their own power.

Lu Li didn't like playing dumb to fool others; he just felt that this kind of training helped him control his power. If he could control it freely, he would be able to strike his enemies more accurately.

"It doesn't matter, I will defeat you soon and end this match."

As he spoke, Hit began to walk towards Lu Li. As an assassin, he always faced people head-on, emphasizing a direct and fatal blow.

Unfortunately, the competition had a clear rule against killing, which limited his methods.

In the next instant, under the watchful eyes of Vegeta and the others, Hit suddenly appeared in front of Lu Li as if a section of film had been cut off, his right hand with five fingers together like a knife, stabbing into Lu Li's heart.

"Mr. Lu!?"

Gohan was shocked by what he saw, because he didn't understand how Hit had hit Lu Li directly. In that instant, Hit was like an assassin walking through time, striking Lu Li's vitals with a split-second flash.

Surprisingly, Hit's hand did not pierce Lu Li's chest, nor did it seem like power was being transferred into Lu Li's body.

Hit himself was also somewhat surprised, because he had just used his time-skip ability to jump 0.2 seconds in time and directly hit Lu Li.

Logically, if he had hit the enemy's vital points, given his understanding of the human body, Lu Li should have already lost his fighting ability.

But both Lu Li's condition and his touch told him that something was wrong.

It wasn't like he struck Lu Li's heart at a point level; rather, it was like he hit the hardest steel in the universe, breaking many of his knuckles.

"It's a real shame. Your agility is excellent and your moves are exquisite, but your strength is a bit lacking."

Lu Li looked down at Hite's hand, shook his head and sighed.

Hit has both mechanical abilities and combat skills, but his stats aren't high enough to compare to Vegeta and Goku.

His overall attributes were too high, and he didn't rely on Qi to support his body. His base physical attributes were 258 points, and the bonus to his defense from the Martial Arts Manual was quite outrageous. Hit simply couldn't break through his defense.

"how come……"

Champa was also surprised, but the two explorers were even more surprised than him.

Because the explorers of the divine space discovered that Lu Li's overall attributes were increasing. As Lu Li opened his arms, stretched his body, and emitted a bone-exploding sound, his overall attributes gradually climbed.

After Lu Li stretched his body, his overall attributes became 258 points in the eyes of the explorers of the Divine Space, a number that seemed monstrous to them.

Hit on the field showed no sign of giving up. On the contrary, he felt challenged by the strong opponent he saw and began to circle around Lu Li, launching attacks continuously.

The sounds of impact echoed throughout the arena. Hit's speed was extremely fast, and when combined with Time Flash, he was like a ghost in time. Soon, even Gohan could hardly see what was happening.

Gohan could only see the blood that occasionally splattered amidst the sounds of blows, and he tensed up for a moment, thinking, "Someone's injured."

Vegeta crossed his arms and glanced at Gohan. "Concentrate and look closely. Lu Li isn't moving; it's Hit who's getting hurt."

The two explorers from Champa looked at each other, both finding it utterly absurd.

Because Hit is an assassin, his attack methods are very unique. Although his personal stats are not as high as Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta and Goku, Hit is now completely serious, and his power output is constantly increasing.

Every strike he made could be considered a deadly move, but when it hit Lu Li, it was Lu Li himself who got hurt.

Because the effects of force are always mutual, he struck the seemingly indestructible steel, and naturally, he was the one who got hurt.

Hit himself found it quite absurd. He dared not say that he was the strongest in all the universes, but with his Time-Flash ability, he was definitely a top-notch killer. However, even if he were to unleash some of his skills now, he still couldn't hurt Lu Li.

So hard!
He once believed that speed was the only way to break through all martial arts, but now he has truly witnessed what indestructibility means.

A minute later, Hit, panting heavily, distanced himself from Lu Li. His hands were covered in blood, his knuckles were broken, and bone fragments were exposed, which looked very painful.

"Do you want to keep fighting? If you keep fighting, you'll die."

Lu Li did not retaliate at all, but Hit was under tremendous pressure because he was injured when he attacked him.

Because these injuries were caused by physical contact with him, they were determined to be caused by Lu Li.

With this judgment as a basis, the two gems in Lu Li's Starry Sky Ring will start to work together to produce a life-steal effect. Since Lu Li is at full health, the excess value will be converted into magic damage.

What's funny is that when Hit attacked Lu Li, the recoil damage he received wasn't actually very high, but after this cycle, that 30% value was amplified a hundredfold by the Starry Sky Ring, becoming very high magical damage.

The damage was reflected back at Hit in the form of a shockwave. If the system hadn't been constantly dodging using Flash, he probably would have died after being knocked down twice.

Hit is not dead yet because he has turned off the Soul Eater passive ability on his body. Otherwise, when he was injured by the recoil, he would have lost a lot of his life essence due to the true damage.

"I never expected... that there are beings as powerful as you in other universes. Is this the power of a candidate for God of Destruction?"

Hit was somewhat emotional. Looking at his bloodied hands, he realized that no matter how hard he attacked, he couldn't possibly hurt his opponent in the slightest.

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with technology; it's simply that the opponent's stats are too high, and he can't challenge them.

"You're very strong too, great technique."

Lu Li smiled and said, his body radiating heat that evaporated the bloodstains on his clothes. He then patted his clothes, and the bloodstains fell off.

He stood there motionless, taking the hits head-on, not to show off, but simply out of curiosity about Hit's time-lapse principle, observing and learning from it.

"If it were a life-or-death battle, I probably still wouldn't be your match, but I also have my reasons for not being able to lose."

Hitt's expression turned serious, and he once again assumed a fighting stance.

In the next instant, he appeared in front of Lu Li, then his figure vanished like a ghost. That was his Time-Flash Space. Hit could store time, create space with the stored time, and move freely, leaving only an illusion in the real world.

Therefore, he could see Hit but could not attack him, while Hit approached Lu Li through space and could launch an attack at any time.

"You should know that you can't break my defense. You should leave the ring. I don't want to lose my qualification because you die in the ring."

Lu Li said this while observing the principles of Hit's time laws.

However, Hitt made a deal with Champa to participate in the competition; he had his own desires and was not prepared to give up easily.

While Lu Li was speaking, he made another move, activating the Time Prison.

He repeatedly attacked Lu Li with Flash, trying to lock Lu Li in the other-dimensional space, thereby restricting Lu Li's movements and finding a way to knock Lu Li out of the arena.

Because of Hit's dense offensive, each strike used the laws of time, instantly disrupting the spacetime around Lu Li, truly like a prison of time.

Lu Li tried to raise his hand, and felt that there was considerable resistance to movement in this state. Hit is indeed the ace of the sixth universe, he really has some skills.

This precise application of time laws, and its effectiveness in actual combat, is extremely rare for someone with Hitler's background.

Unfortunately, Lu Li was the last player left, and he couldn't afford to go easy on him.

boom--

Amidst the deafening roar, as if the great bell of time had been struck, countless fragments of spacetime exploded on the arena, and Hit's figure solidified from illusion, flying backward.

Just as Hit was about to fall off the ring, he suddenly flipped in mid-air and used his bloodied hand to pierce the floor, narrowly stopping at the edge of the ring.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his usually aloof and expressionless face filled with shock, because just a moment ago, dark energy rose from Lu Li's body, and then Lu Li waved his hand, breaking the cage of time with absolute violence in an instant.

Standing there, Lu Li was surrounded by billowing black energy, which made him appear like a demon god of the end in Hit's eyes, and the same was true for other non-human races.

Lu Li stepped onto the arena. "Excellent skills, thank you for your guidance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Beerus's pupils shrank in the stands, because he had lost sight of Lu Li for a moment before Lu Li appeared directly in front of Hit.

"Time Flash!?"

Hitt's tone was filled with disbelief; he couldn't believe that the skill he had dedicated his life to mastering had been learned by the other person in just a short while.

Lu Li smiled, believing his smile to be hearty and friendly, and tapped Hit on the forehead with a finger, sending Hit flying off the stage. "We can spar and exchange ideas another time."

Hitt, still somewhat dazed after being ejected from the stage, shook his head as he stood up, a smile on his face. "What an outrageous guy."

"Damn it, Beerus, where did you find a human like this?"

Champa, being a God of Destruction, could naturally see that Lu Li was extremely powerful and could be put into the role of God of Destruction with just a little training.

He realized that although he had proposed the bet, Beerus was about to lead him into a trap.

"It was just a chance encounter. Maybe people who love food are drawn to each other."

Beerus was laughing heartily, his face contorted with smirk, which made Champa's younger brother very uncomfortable.

"Fei Teng, you go and deal with him. He should have already used up a lot of his energy!"

Champa points to explorers of the ancient, desolate space.

"I...I'm a candidate for God of Destruction?"

Boiling Pointed at Him, "Really?"

He had already figured it out: Lu Li was a complete freak among explorers, definitely a special individual. Even though the competition rules prohibited killing, he didn't want to go up and get beaten up.

Seeing Champa's cold gaze, he immediately dared not argue anymore and obediently went on stage. Getting beaten up was better than being destroyed by the God of Destruction.

Lu Li strolled leisurely across the field. Boiling Point was originally an explorer who used sticks and other weapons. Without a suitable weapon, his unarmed combat skills were mediocre. After fighting for a long time, he couldn't even touch the hem of Lu Li's clothes.

Seeing that the explorer had no new tricks up his sleeve, Lu Li kicked him off the stage and beckoned to the last explorer of the Divine Space, whose face was grim.

As expected, Lu Li punched the third eye of the God Space Explorer, swelling it up like a light bulb. The three-eyed brother dared not fight any longer and flew off the stage amidst cries of pain.

Seeing this, Xiangpa was furious, but he also knew that Lu Li's strength was indeed a bit beyond the expected level.

"Hmph, you win this time. The Dragon Balls are yours. Let's go."

Champa said irritably that he had collected Dragon Balls for decades, only to end up with nothing. Naturally, he was not happy, so he waved to lead everyone away.

Actually, it's just that Champa isn't very smart. He could have simply collected all the Dragon Balls and wished for the Earth of Universe 6 to be revived. There was no need for such a complicated competition.

Wukong and the others were still immersed in the previous match, discussing Lu Li's fighting style with great interest, lamenting that they still had a gap to close and wanted to work hard to become stronger.

Lu Li's attention, however, was already drawn to the Super Dragon Balls. Beerus had already told him that if Lu Li could win the match beautifully, the Super Dragon Balls would be his.

However, Beerus, as Champa's older brother, also had some tender thoughts.

Lu Li secretly told Beerus that he would try to help Champa get a planet that could produce delicious food, and only then did Beerus nod and say that he could have the Dragon Balls.

"So, where is the last Dragon Ball? The Dragon Ball radar marker seems to be around here, but I can't see it."

Gohan held the Super Dragon Ball Radar that Bulma had hastily made, looking around.

Lu Li knew that the planet they were on was the seventh Super Dragon Ball, but before he could even give a hint, he felt a chill run down his spine.

He turned his head sharply and saw two figures on the viewing platform above the arena.

Xiangpa, who was originally leading people to run away, also stopped in his tracks. He turned around and was so frightened that he trembled and immediately knelt down.

Even the usually arrogant Beerus knelt down, whispering a reminder to Lu Li and the others, "Kneel down quickly, it's Lord Zeno!"
