Dragon Ball: Collaborating with Frieza to Destroy Planet Vegeta

Chapter 204: Trunks' Transformation!

More than half a year has passed since Grand Zeno announced the Martial Arts Tournament, and during this time, Mu Chuan and his companions have been training in the God of Destruction Realm. Meanwhile, Bulma has been searching for the Dragon Balls—specifically, the Super Dragon Balls. This search was actually a special request from Whis, as he hopes to use them to resurrect the God of Destruction of Universe 10, whose death was truly unjust.

Throughout this period, everyone has been busy with their own pursuits. The Earth warriors, Saiyans, and others alike have been training with all their might. Regardless of whether or not they'll be needed, the thought of participating in the tournament, where failure would mean the complete annihilation of their universe, drives them to intense training.

Their training in the God of Destruction Realm has yielded many benefits. Although not widely known, they constantly witness powerful beings in battle, and over time, they naturally absorb a great deal. The Earth warriors have grown so strong that they now surpass the Ginyu Force, marking a qualitative shift in power.

Among them, Son Goku remains the strongest, with his power level reaching 200,000. Yet, even with this strength, he remains relatively limited within the Supreme Kai's domain, able to spar only with his fellow Earth warriors. The higher-level combat arenas are still beyond his reach.

In the distance, another thunderous clash echoed. The Earth warriors paused, glancing towards the sound.

"They're going at it again—so strong!"

"You have to admire the Saiyans. Not only can they boost their power during battles, but they also have the ability to transform and enhance their strength."

"Their power levels keep growing, especially here, with such intense combat opportunities."

Tenshinhan and the others marveled as they watched, realizing that their own talent wasn't as exceptional as they'd once thought. On Earth, they were unmatched. But here, they recognized that their abilities paled compared to others. Despite their best efforts, they struggled to match up to the Saiyans, whose strength easily surpassed their own.

After witnessing so many cosmic warriors, they understood that there's always someone stronger out there. Without diligent training, they would be nothing. Even as they sighed, their gazes inevitably returned to Son Goku—their strongest and most talented comrade.

"We may never catch up, but Goku absolutely can. After all, Saiyan blood runs in his veins; he just needs more time."

"With enough time to grow…Goku won't be outdone by anyone!"

"Exactly! Goku will never fall behind!"

Though they accepted their own limitations, Goku's potential and talent gave them a glimmer of hope. Goku, however, remained silent, his focus on the distant battle. Turning to Piccolo, he requested, "Piccolo, increase the gravity for me!"

Without hesitation, Piccolo increased it by 100 times. The next moment, Goku dropped to the ground under the pressure, but he didn't give up. Despite the strain, he persevered, refusing to quit. He knew that without relentless effort, he would never reach the heights of the other Saiyans.

With a role model and a goal in mind…all he could do was keep pushing forward!

Elsewhere, Trunks and Karl were locked in a heated duel, both in a state of complete immersion. Their powers were nearly equal, and after entering the God of Destruction Realm, they had engaged in relentless sparring, pushing their potential to its limits each time.

A week ago, both had achieved breakthroughs mid-battle, reaching Super Saiyan Three simultaneously. Although this was a significant accomplishment, they remained unsatisfied. Having glimpsed a greater height, they were determined to strive for more. Karl, wanting to catch up to Mu Chuan, trained with relentless resolve, not letting this invaluable opportunity slip by. Not only were there formidable opponents here, but they occasionally received guidance from Beerus, which was a rare privilege they couldn't waste.

Trunks, meanwhile, had experienced firsthand the helplessness of weakness; even as a Super Saiyan Two, he had felt no sense of security. After being defeated by Goku Black, he craved power and strength more than ever. Although he had recently achieved a substantial breakthrough, it still wasn't enough—he needed to be stronger.

With clear goals, the two spurred each other on in training, their enthusiasm contagious. All the Saiyans threw themselves into their training, heedless of the consequences and injuries. Their relentless efforts energized everyone around them.

From a distance, Mu Chuan quietly observed, watching every Saiyan's progress closely. Beside him, Whis smiled approvingly at the scene.

"Everyone's working hard. At this rate, they might achieve decent results in the tournament!"

Whis was pleased with their progress, as everyone would need to participate in the tournament to defend Universe Seven. The more they improved their battle power, the less likely they'd suffer a devastating defeat—and perhaps they might even win.

With Universe Seven's fate at stake, both Beerus and Whis would personally coach the fighters whenever possible, benefiting everyone immensely.

The greatest improvements came from Karl and Trunks, who had broken through their limits, though others had seen some progress as well, albeit less substantial. Watching everyone's fervent training, Mu Chuan, too, entered a new state. For now, he didn't need constant combat; few, save Beerus and Whis, could match him. Since both of them were busy guiding others, he was left without sparring partners, giving him a rare moment of respite.

Yet this didn't mean he was neglecting his training. Rather, he was shifting focus—from combat to awakening his own potential and attuning to the power within himself. Only through such self-discovery could he unleash the full strength of Ultra Instinct.

The more adept he became…

The more he could tap into his limitless potential.
