Vegeta's face darkened, and he asked somewhat unwillingly.
"What do you mean, 'targeting you'? I don't know what you're talking about. Stop arguing and get out of here."
Even at this point, Yuan Lanjiang would not admit that what he was doing was targeting Vegeta. With Yi Shuihan's attention, such things could be done secretly; it was absolutely unacceptable to do them openly.
"hateful."
With anger simmering in his eyes, Vegeta could no longer contain himself. A burst of white flames erupted from his body, and he flew toward Yuan Lanjiang, poised to strike.
"Took the bait."
Yuan Lanjiang was not terrified at all; on the contrary, he was overjoyed. Since Vegeta had attacked him first, he naturally had a reason to kill Vegeta. He was not afraid even if the matter went to Yi Shuihan.
"You alien, how dare you make a scene on Zhenwu Mountain and openly attack the examiners! Today I will kill you right here."
Vegeta's power level of 11 caused a huge commotion, attracting the attention of the other examinees, and everyone turned their attention to him.
"Who is this? How dare they attack the examiner? Are they courting death?"
"What a formidable fellow. He's probably the strongest among this year's examinees, but he's definitely in for trouble. Zhenwu Mountain is not like the outside world."
A fiery serpent suddenly emerged from behind Yuan Lanjiang, opening its massive jaws and lunging at Vegeta with incredible speed.
Vegeta slightly veered away from the fire snake, but the fire snake seemed to have a mind of its own, suddenly returning the instant it passed Vegeta, and binding him in one swift motion.
"what!"
Vegeta roared, and the white flames around his body instantly doubled in size, trying to break free of the fire serpent. However, the fire serpent flashed red, expanded, and then rapidly shrank, binding Vegeta once again, and even the white flames around his body disappeared.
Without the protection of ki, the fire snake came into close contact with Vegeta, instantly causing extensive burns all over his body, and the smell of roasted meat wafted out.
"You, an alien who doesn't even know what Zhenwu is, think you can act wildly in front of me? That's wishful thinking. You're nothing but a barbarian with brute strength."
Without even lifting a finger, Vegeta was nearly rendered powerless to resist; such a method was truly astonishing to the examiners.
"Aliens? What's with Vegeta and his brothers? They're aliens!"
Cheng Zhen muttered to himself, looking utterly lost and disoriented. He was quite clever, and at this moment, he knew perfectly well that he had suffered a completely undeserved calamity.
"Armed Possession!"
A slightly hoarse voice came from Vegeta's mouth. A mysterious force suddenly amplified Vegeta's aura several times over. With a sudden burst of strength, the fire serpent was completely severed and dissipated in the air.
"Game bonus?"
Yuan Lanjiang raised an eyebrow, revealing a half-smile, and then made a grasping motion in the air towards Vegeta. A burst of fire appeared, and Vegeta was once again bound by the fire snake.
As a True Martial Artist at the Solid Realm, his manipulation of the Qi in the world had reached a level of effortless mastery. This fire serpent was merely a masterpiece he casually created using the Qi surrounding Vegeta. It was only because of its exceptional cohesion that Vegeta was unable to break free.
Compared to Vegeta's simple and crude application of ki, Yuan Lanjiang's wisp of ki can achieve the effect of ten wisps of Vegeta's ki.
Even if Vegeta's fighting power is exactly the same, or even if Vegeta's fighting power is hundreds of thousands higher, Yuan Lanjiang would still likely win.
"Enough! Are you going to kill him?"
"teacher."
Yi Shuihan suddenly appeared beside Vegeta, casually dispelling the fire serpent. Vegeta fell to the ground with a thud, already unconscious.
Yuan Lanjiang wanted to explain, but when he actually faced Yi Shuihan, he found himself speechless. All his words were completely useless at this moment. He was sweating and had difficulty breathing.
"Let him continue the assessment."
With a flick of his finger, Yi Shuihan and Vegeta vanished from the spot.
"Was that the Martial Ancestor just now?"
"I...I actually saw the Martial Ancestor with my own eyes, how lucky!"
"Oh my god, that was terrifying! I almost thought I was going to die."
After Yi Shuihan disappeared, discussions continued.
......
"woke up?"
Vegeta opened his eyes, his vision gradually clearing, and found himself lying on the ground. Not far away was a young man. He remembered the man; when he came out of the first level, this young man was standing in the middle of that group of people.
The scene before he lost consciousness flashed through Vegeta's mind, filling him with lingering fear.
"You saved me?"
He asked somewhat hesitantly.
"good."
"Why did you save me? Didn't you want to kill me, this alien?"
"It's not that I had to save you; just consider it that I was in a good mood at the time!"
Logically speaking, Yuan Lanjiang could have killed Vegeta, and Yi Shuihan had no reason to save him. The current Vegeta is not the one who has reformed in the original story. Yuan Lanjiang killing him could be considered acting on behalf of Heaven, and he would not only be blameless but also meritorious.
Chapter 980, Frieza's Attack
Yi Shuihan rescued Vegeta from Yuan Lanjiang, but that doesn't mean Yi Shuihan wanted to stand up for Vegeta. He rescued Vegeta simply because he felt that Vegeta, who had come to become Yuan Lanjiang's apprentice, was wronged by being killed so inexplicably.
Without offering Vegeta any benefit whatsoever, after Vegeta recovered from his injuries, Yi Shuihan issued an order to leave, and Vegeta slunk away from Zhenwu Mountain.
When Vegeta left, he inevitably harbored resentment towards Mount Zhenwu, but that was not something Yi Shuihan cared about. In any case, if Vegeta really wanted revenge, he would have to wait until he broke through to Super Saiyan 3, or even Blue, and that was assuming Yi Shuihan was no longer around.
That's at least ten years from now, and who knows what Earth will be like then? With Goku around, Vegeta's revenge will definitely be very difficult. Plus, with the development of Shinbu, it's possible that even if Vegeta is in his blue form, he won't be able to get revenge by then.
The Vegeta incident was just a passing episode for Yi Shuihan, and he completely forgot about it afterward.
Another year has passed.
On this day, Earthlings discovered that the sky had suddenly turned black, but it wasn't a normal black, nor was it some kind of solar eclipse.
The Earth is completely surrounded by a densely packed alien fleet, as if it were covered with a cloak.
These aliens have only one goal: to conquer Earth. Having Earth means having a continuous stream of people to enter the ancient world, which in turn means having a vast and endless source of soldiers. In other words, by occupying Earth, they would have the right to rule the entire universe.
Frieza is known as the Emperor of the Universe, but in reality, he doesn't have many planets under his control. Most of the planets he conquered were sold off. The main reason is that he doesn't have enough manpower. He has the ability to attack and plunder but not to defend them, so he ceded his territory in exchange for training his subordinates.
Talented individuals who are truly capable of governing an entire planet are not so easy to recruit.
The fleet gathered outside Earth at this moment belongs to Frieza, and he himself has come here.
Frieza is not the closest cosmic force to Earth, but he is, on the surface, the closest cosmic force capable of reclaiming Earth.
Earth's situation is very special. There are countless beings with combat power exceeding one million on the surface, and aliens simply don't have the strength to make a move against it.
Frieza came in person because if he hadn't come, even if all his men had been there, they would have been doomed.
Even Ginyu, the strongest member of Frieza's Ginyu Force, only had a fighting power of around 100,000, which was no match for Earth.
"What a useless bunch of people, I actually have to do it myself."
Standing in the void of space outside Earth, Frieza had transformed into his final form. He usually reserved three transformations, which were known only to his closest confidants, who had never seen them. However, after the emergence of the ancient world, Frieza had to transform to secure his position.
The Ancient World has been around for quite some time now, and most ordinary players have increased their combat power by more than 50, with many having increased it by over a million. It is said that the strongest players have already reached an increase of tens of millions.
Frieza went out for a walk on his way to Earth to clear his head and wanted to set off a planetary firework. He then encountered a native whose original combat power was only a few thousand, but whose game power boosted his power to 500 million. In the end, he had no choice but to transform and ultimately decided to remain unchanged in this ultimate form.
Frieza, who initially didn't value game enhancements too much, only truly took the Ancient World seriously because of that incident, and now he frequently levels up in the game.
"Once I obtain Earth, I can truly unify the universe."
Frieza is a genius of the Frost Clan, a race even more terrifying than the Saiyans. The current members of the Frost Clan have fighting power in the hundreds of millions. If it weren't for the Saiyans having the Super Saiyan, they probably wouldn't be able to compare with the Frost Clan at all.
Besides their formidable fighting power, the Frozen Clan also possesses exceptional survivability. They can survive in space without oxygen and even continue to live if their bodies are cut in half, as can be seen from Vegeta in the original work.
Furthermore, the lifespan of the Frozen race is extremely long, far surpassing that of the Saiyans, whose lifespan is similar to that of Earthlings.
Currently, Frieza's family also includes a father and an older brother, both formidable figures with their own territories and greater power than Frieza, the cosmic emperor.
The Ancient World has caused such a stir that almost everyone in the universe with even a little knowledge of the subject knows about it. Frieza's father and brother are naturally among them, but they pay even less attention to the Ancient World than Frieza does. After all, even now, the game bonus is only hovering around tens of millions. At this rate of development, it will take at least several decades to truly reach their level, and that's assuming the game bonus is endless.
They tacitly approved of Frieza's actions, probably believing that even if Frieza took control of Earth first, with their strength, Frieza wouldn't be able to stop them if they wanted to send their own people over.
"This is no ordinary event!"
On the peak of Zhenwu Mountain, Yi Shuihan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky. Behind him were dozens of second-generation Zhenwu disciples.
"You should already know who those guys upstairs are, right?"
"Teacher, that was Frieza and his fleet. Frieza is an extremely evil leader in the universe, who calls himself the Emperor of the Universe, and his strength is unfathomable."
"Their goal is to conquer the Earth. Please, teacher, do something for the sake of all living beings on Earth."
That's right, these second-generation disciples came to ask Yi Shuihan for help. In fact, they didn't intend to alarm Yi Shuihan at first, since Earth's current strength is not weak, and they could easily deal with even a master with tens of millions of combat power.
What changed their minds was the discovery of Frieza's true power. Even though Frieza was outside Earth, he didn't know how to hide his aura, and people on Earth could still feel his terror. When tested with a power level tester, the latest generation power level tester, which could test up to 50 million power level, was immediately destroyed.
A powerhouse with a combat strength exceeding 5000 million is someone that no one on Earth besides Yi Shuihan can currently face.
Chapter 981, Bombing for Hours
"If I have to do everything myself, what use are you? The purpose of my teachings is to enable Earthlings to truly protect the Earth and make it self-reliant. The enemy is indeed strong, but if we combine all the martial artists on Earth, we can still fight them. Don't you even have the will to fight?"
Yi Shuihan's words were very blunt, causing the second-generation disciples who had come to ask him for help to lower their heads in shame.
In fact, Yi Shuihan's statement is quite far-fetched. After all, Frieza's combat power is not just a little over 50 million, but has reached the level of hundreds of millions. On Earth, apart from Yi Shuihan, the strongest person with enhanced game combat power is only around 10 million.
With a combat power of ten million, combined with Zhenwu, one can defeat someone with a combat power of twenty million. Against a strong person with a combat power of thirty million, one will have a hard time, and with fifty million, one will be completely crushed.
Of course, if all the strongest beings on Earth were to unite and risk their lives to harm Frieza even by self-destructing, it's quite possible that Frieza would be defeated.
Therefore, it's not entirely wrong for Yi Shuihan to say that Earth has the power to fight back.
"Fine, if Earth really faces a life-or-death situation, I will take action."
Yi Shuihan waved his hand and said no more.
The second-generation disciples exchanged glances, bowed deeply to Yi Shuihan, and then slowly left the mountain.
Yi Shuihan's attitude quickly spread throughout the entire Earth. To Yi Shuihan's relief, most Earthlings understood him, while only a small number complained about his ruthlessness.
"It wasn't in vain that I brought Zhenwu to Earth and opened up the ancient world to Earth completely."
To be honest, it's perfectly normal for Earthlings to feel resentment towards Yi Shuihan for not taking action when he clearly has the strength to easily defeat Frieza. Even if most Earthlings develop hatred towards Yi Shuihan because of this, Yi Shuihan wouldn't be surprised.
However, if it really happened and most people on Earth blamed Yi Shuihan for not taking action, even if Yi Shuihan understood, he would definitely not tolerate it. He might even treat the entire Earth equally. He saved the Earth this time, but he wouldn't care if the Earth was destroyed next time.
Anyway, Earth isn't really Yi Shuihan's hometown; it's just somewhat similar. For someone like Yi Shuihan, let alone destroying a planet, even if the entire Seventh Universe were destroyed, he wouldn't be swayed.
"Humans have never experienced a real war. Let Frieza bless them this time. Anyway, we have the Dragon Balls, a powerful weapon. At worst, we can just revive the dead."
This was Yi Shuihan's real plan. If it weren't for the Dragon Balls, and Earthlings and Frieza were to fight to the death, even if Frieza won, most of the Earthlings would probably be killed. This was not the outcome Yi Shuihan wanted to see.
Frieza descended upon Earth alone and began killing anyone he saw, seemingly intent on completely wiping out humanity.
The Earth's warriors quickly surrounded Frieza and launched a group attack. Facing a true evil like Frieza, fair fighting was out of the question; this was a moment of crisis for the survival of their race.
"Interesting, interesting. You Earthlings may not be strong in combat, but you possess profound combat techniques. I even want to recruit you into my fold. How about this: if you Earthlings agree to submit to this emperor, I will let you live."
The endless stream of martial arts techniques and fighting styles gave Frieza the idea of reclaiming Earth, whereas before he had truly intended to annihilate all of humanity.
"Enough with the nonsense, we Earthlings will fight to the death rather than submit to these evil invaders."
"Brothers, I'll be going first."
"Boom!"
A warrior with a combat power of over a million rushed in front of Frieza and launched a self-destruction, the huge roar of which could be heard throughout the entire Earth.
The self-destruction of a martial artist with a combat power of one million would unleash a destructive force of tens of millions. If it happened on the ground, it could probably obliterate the entire Earth.
"Good brother, I'll join too."
"Let the alien invaders know that Earth is not to be trifled with, include me."
"And I......"
One by one, warriors rushed towards Frieza like moths to a flame, and the roar of their self-destruction continued for several hours.
If the Earth weren't so different now, with per capita combat power increasing dozens or even hundreds of times, people would probably be deafened.
Yi Shuihan, who had been watching the war closely from Zhenwu Mountain, was also somewhat stunned. He hadn't expected these martial artists to be so spirited. He wouldn't have been too moved by a few self-destructions, but these self-destructions lasting for several hours really touched Yi Shuihan deeply.
The original plan was to let more people die so that Earthlings could experience the horrors of war and thus unleash more of their potential.
Now Yi Shuihan couldn't help but take action. Since there were so many True Martial Artists who met Yi Shuihan's requirements, it would be good to let some Earthlings suffer less.
"Damn it, damn it, those wretched Earth monkeys, how could they, how could they..."
Frieza is Frieza after all; his power level of over 100 million is no joke. Even after being bombed for several hours, he didn't die or even suffer serious injuries; he just looked a bit disheveled.
