Chapter 248: Beerus' Guidance!
"You can get even stronger?" Beerus' eyes lit up. He had thought Mu Chuan had already reached his limit but never imagined there was still room for improvement.
This was getting interesting!
"Then let me see just where your limit lies!"
In a flash, Beerus appeared behind Mu Chuan.
Whoosh!
Beerus tightly wrapped his arms around Mu Chuan, pinning Mu Chuan's hands against his sides. Mu Chuan struggled to break free, but he suddenly felt a powerful force pressing against him.
Mu Chuan was inwardly shocked. What on earth was Beerus trying to do?
The next second—
He felt an overwhelming surge of destruction energy flood into his body. The destruction energy inside him, which he could previously control, began spiraling out of control.
It was like boiling water…
And in an instant, it erupted!
Boom!
Terrifying destruction energy surged outward, shooting skyward!
The force it unleashed was countless times stronger than what Mu Chuan had just displayed.
Everyone watching from afar was utterly stunned.
"This…?!"
Their faces were frozen in shock. None of them had expected Mu Chuan to become even stronger.
Good heavens!
How were they supposed to keep living after this?
Though they could sense Mu Chuan's energy becoming terrifyingly powerful, they couldn't understand what exactly was happening.
Standing nearby, Whis squinted slightly. With his heightened perception, he could clearly see what Beerus was doing. This discovery left him quite surprised.
Beerus was guiding Mu Chuan.
Not just guiding—he was attempting to teach him.
This was truly fascinating.
"Is Lord Beerus acting on a whim, or does he think Mu Chuan has exceptional talent? Is that why he's trying to guide him in channeling destruction energy more powerfully?"
Whis couldn't say for sure, but one thing was clear: after this lesson, Mu Chuan's abilities would become even more terrifying.
It was rare for the lazy Beerus to personally instruct someone.
This was indeed surprising.

In the center of the field—
At first, Mu Chuan had no idea what Beerus was doing. After all, his body was completely out of control, with destruction energy coursing wildly through him.
This surge of energy also ignited the Saiyan bloodline within him, causing it to boil over.
If not for Beerus maintaining control, his body might have exploded.
"Don't move!"
"Release all the energy in your body right now!"
"No matter what kind of energy it is…"
Beerus' voice rang out, startling Mu Chuan. He couldn't understand what Beerus was trying to accomplish.
But he didn't dwell on it.
Since Beerus had said so, he decided to see just how strong his full power could be!
Moments later, a soul-piercing roar erupted from Mu Chuan's mouth.
"AAAAHHHH!!!"
Instantly, the entire God of Destruction Realm began to tremble. Even the ground shook, and tiny cracks appeared in the surrounding space.
Fortunately, the space healed quickly!
After all, this was the God of Destruction Realm. Its spatial stability was far beyond that of ordinary planets.
Still, even under such conditions, the display was astonishing!
In almost an instant, Mu Chuan's hair began to retract. Instead of lengthening as his power surged, his hair slowly returned to its usual state, reminiscent of Super Saiyan Two.
However—
His eyes underwent a transformation. Purple lightning-like symbols appeared in his pupils, and similar markings began to surround his body.
These markings resembled tattoos but weren't. They were manifestations of the destruction energy within him. As the runes emerged, his destruction energy became more controlled and restrained.
When this new form stabilized, Beerus slowly released his grip and put some distance between them.
Beerus then admired his handiwork with satisfaction.
Looking at the transformed Mu Chuan, Beerus was quite pleased. At least this wasn't a chaotic and uncontrolled state.
The destruction energy was present, but it had become far more contained.
If one didn't know Mu Chuan wasn't a God of Destruction, they might have mistaken him for one at first glance.
"Not bad. You can now utilize destruction energy effectively instead of just relying on raw outbursts. Destructive energy is far more than mere destruction—it's divine energy!"
"Don't use it like some ordinary power."
"I've realigned it for you, and you should feel the difference. Now, take some time to adapt."
"When you can wield such immense power in your base form, you'll have truly succeeded!"
"A candidate for God of Destruction!"
Beerus chuckled and returned to his little retreat. By then, he had already changed into his pajamas. Ignoring the others' reactions, he promptly lay down and went to sleep.
Mu Chuan stood there, still in a daze.
At this moment, he was amazed by the energy within him.
It felt entirely different.
His energy was more restrained yet incomparably stronger.
Previously, his form had been purely chaotic and destructive—powerful, yes, but uncontrolled. Now, the difference was like night and day.
This new energy was undoubtedly a level beyond Perfected Ultra Instinct.
He believed this state could be called transcendence!
As Beerus had said, if he could maintain this state in his base form, he would truly have mastered it.
And Beerus' words also signified recognition. At the very least, he was now worthy of being called a candidate for God of Destruction!
Mu Chuan bowed respectfully in Beerus' direction.

In the distance, the others finally snapped out of their stupor.
The fight was over?
Though the energy displayed earlier was terrifying, the battle had ended too quickly and rather inexplicably.
They had no idea what Beerus had done!
But in their eyes, Mu Chuan had gone from a wildly destructive state to an even stronger yet more restrained form. This new state was anything but ordinary.
Just one look sent shivers down their spines.
And when Mu Chuan's gaze fell on them, it felt like being stared down by a ferocious beast.
The feeling was utterly terrifying!
Bojack and Cooler quickly averted their eyes, thoroughly intimidated.
They had previously harbored some defiance, thinking Frieza's return after training might give him a chance to compete.
But now…
They weren't so sure anymore.
"Can Lord Frieza really stand against this monster?"
