Chapter 240: Mu Chuan's Suggestion!
"So strong…"
"Is this their true strength? All this time, we've only known Frieza's power, but never in our wildest dreams did we imagine there'd be someone capable of standing toe-to-toe with him."
"Who is this guy, really?"
"He forced Frieza to retreat earlier, and now he's fighting Frieza evenly. This is unbelievable!"
The group of cosmic elites finally understood what true strength meant at this moment.
Frieza's power was comprehensible to them—after all, he was the well-known emperor of the universe.
But Mu Chuan's strength completely defied their expectations.
At this moment, they finally realized how laughable their self-proclaimed "power" was. They didn't even qualify as cannon fodder.
Some even wondered if they were just here to make up the numbers. With such two overwhelmingly powerful individuals present, their existence seemed utterly insignificant.
And it wasn't just them.
Even the Saiyans looked grave.
Their leader had grown stronger!
Frieza had grown stronger, too!
And not just by a little—it was an overwhelming difference.
This realization hit them hard. They were all training diligently, so why did the others improve so much more, even with just a little effort?
Was it a matter of talent?
"Frieza is no simple character. In such a short time, he's grown even stronger. This time, it seems even more exaggerated."
"I really don't know how he trains!"
Greta was filled with dissatisfaction. He originally thought that if he worked hard enough, he might eventually catch up with Frieza.
He had already given up on surpassing Mu Chuan—it seemed impossible. So, he aimed at Frieza instead, considering him the leader's defeated rival.
But now, seeing this...
What the heck, they're all monsters!
"Don't underestimate Frieza. His combat power was so strong in the past that he deliberately suppressed it. If he had learned to control his power earlier, he'd be far stronger today."
"He missed his golden opportunity…"
"Otherwise, no matter how strong the leader is, he might still lose!" Karl commented from the side, and he wasn't wrong.
Frieza's downfall was his overconfidence in his overwhelming power. He believed he didn't need to train and, with no enemies to challenge him, assumed he was invincible.
As a result, he wasted a lot of time.
It was only after suffering defeat that he reluctantly began to train.
But ultimately, he had missed the optimal period for growth and failed to fully utilize his terrifying potential.
In the void, the energy waves from the two fighters collided. The overwhelming energy neutralized each other completely.
After that brief clash, the two locked eyes before diving back into battle in the next second!
Mu Chuan swung a kick at Frieza's head, which Frieza blocked with his hand. Frieza's tail lashed out, wrapping around Mu Chuan and hurling him into the distance.
Then, Frieza launched himself forward, kicking downwards fiercely.
Mu Chuan, undeterred, condensed terrifying energy waves in both hands and unleashed a barrage at Frieza.
Frieza was even more relentless.
Charging through the energy waves, he closed in on Mu Chuan. At that moment, Frieza felt victory within his grasp and let out a menacing laugh.
However, in the next second, an energy wave slammed into his face, followed by a swift kick.
"You dare leave yourself open in a fight? How naive can you be?"
"Universe Overlord? Is that all?"
"You damn monkey!"
"I'll tear you apart!!"
Frieza was enraged.
He unleashed an even more ferocious assault.
But Mu Chuan easily blocked all of his attacks. They barely inflicted any harm.
While fighting, Mu Chuan observed Frieza carefully.
After this bout, Mu Chuan had fully gauged Frieza's strength. His power had indeed grown, but the pace was too slow.
He had already touched upon the initial stages of the Black Gold Form.
But...
Frieza wasn't training seriously.
If he were to train properly, his power would far exceed its current level.
Mu Chuan, on the other hand, had reached this level through relentless training. Moreover, he had already figured out the next step to advance further.
But Frieza was stagnating.
This was not something Mu Chuan wanted to see.
The Tournament of Power was just around the corner, a grand event involving 12 universes. Countless formidable warriors would emerge.
If Frieza didn't train harder...
He would undoubtedly be eliminated, and the destruction of Universe 7 would be inevitable.
During a brief exchange, while deflecting Frieza's frenzied attacks, Mu Chuan said, "Frieza, you're wasting your potential too much."
"Why not train seriously?"
"Mind your own business!"
At this moment, Frieza couldn't hear anything. To speak to him during combat was merely an insult.
But Mu Chuan didn't care. Whether Frieza listened or not, Mu Chuan's words were meant to provoke him, pushing him toward greater effort in training.
The more provoked Frieza was, the more he would push himself!
"Why not aim for the Black Form if Golden Frieza isn't enough? Train until you surpass your limits!"
"If a month isn't enough, take a year. If a year isn't enough, take ten!"
"Eventually, you'll become unimaginably strong. You're a genius among the Frost Demon Race. If you don't harness your talent, you'll always be a loser!"
As soon as Mu Chuan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Frieza's response. He landed an elbow strike, shattering Frieza's defenses.
Then, his hair began to grow longer, transitioning from his Autonomous Ultra Instinct state. His hair now seemed to hover between Super Saiyan 3 and Super Saiyan 4.
With this transformation, his combat power surged dramatically, slamming Frieza into the ground. A massive crater appeared, almost piercing the God of Destruction's realm.
For a long time, Frieza didn't emerge.
Everyone could sense Frieza's diminishing aura.
It was clear—Frieza had lost.
And he had lost completely, unable even to mount a counterattack.
The intense battle felt like a mere illusion.
Looking at the defeated Frieza, who could no longer stand, Mu Chuan reverted to his normal state. The form he had just used was the result of his years of training.
This was the perfect time to display it.
