Chapter 112: You Won't Last Two Chapters — Disdain
A brilliant ball of light formed between Turles' hands, quickly shooting up into the sky and expanding with a burst.
"Hmph, prepare to die! Now that I've transformed into a Great Ape, my power level has increased tenfold!"
As the dazzling light faded, a full moon rose into the sky, shining as brightly as Earth's own.
Lin Qi made no move to stop him; he simply stood beside the tree trunk, watching on. Ah... enjoy the clown's performance to the fullest.
He had almost forgotten about this Saiyan transformation—yes, the Great Ape form. It did multiply a Saiyan's power level by ten. But at the same time…
Unless they were elite-class Saiyans, they typically lost all rationality in that form, becoming blindly aggressive and violent.
Beams of moonlight rained down, and under their illumination, Turles' body began to grow and swell.
His combat suit started to rip apart as dense black fur sprouted across his body, along with a savage and chaotic aura.
Turles' tail grew longer and thicker. His head enlarged, protruding outward, and his teeth became increasingly sharp.
In a short time, the spot where Turles had stood was now occupied by a massive black-furred Great Ape.
Over twenty meters tall, the ape beat its chest, roaring wildly.
Lin Qi crossed his arms and leaned casually against the Spiritual Tree, looking up at the beast with a touch of admiration.
"Not bad... not bad at all. Your power level really did increase tenfold—from a million to ten million."
"Surprised? That's the reaction I wanted!" To Lin Qi's surprise, Turles still retained his rational mind. He hurled a giant fist at Lin Qi.
"Go die already!"
"Tsk tsk… Where's all this confidence coming from?" Lin Qi raised a brow and smiled as he hopped lightly onto Turles' incoming fist.
"You think turning into this thing and boosting your power level tenfold is enough to beat me?"
"Damn you..." The Great Ape swung his other fist at Lin Qi, but again, missed completely.
He turned around angrily, seemingly searching for Lin Qi. In reality, the moment he swung, he had snatched a Spirit fruit from its branch.
Without hesitation, Turles swallowed the fruit. Immediately, his aura surged again, his power level rising even further.
"Tsk tsk... what a waste of a fruit." Lin Qi frowned slightly at Turles' actions.
"Power increased by a fifth…" Turles quickly regained his confidence and launched an energy blast at Lin Qi on the sand below.
Boom!
The energy blast struck the ground, exploding instantly and kicking up a cloud of dust and debris.
"HAHAHA... As long as I have the Spirit fruit, I'll be the strongest being in this universe!!" The Great Ape raised his arms and beat his chest in triumph.
When the dust cleared, Lin Qi stood unharmed in the crater. He brushed off his spotless shoulder and said, "Sorry to disappoint you…"
"I was just thinking about how to transplant this Spiritual Tree… Also, since you're a Saiyan, how about becoming one of my subordinates?"
"I plan to rebuild the Saiyan Kingdom!"
"What?!" The Great Ape's blood-red eyes widened in shock, but it wasn't Lin Qi's words that stunned him—it was his own attack.
"How could such a powerful blast not leave a single scratch on you?!"
Lin Qi walked toward the Great Ape with a cocky, youthful smirk. "Looks like… you've got bad hearing. So, yes or no?"
That seemingly light question rang out directly beside the Great Ape's ear. Down below, Lin Qi's figure had vanished without a trace.
Bang!
Lin Qi gently lifted his leg and tapped the Great Ape's face with a light kick.
He had consciously restrained his strength—it was barely more than lifting a foot while walking…
Yet the immense force sent the Great Ape flying, and as the wind swept past, his body shrank rapidly, reverting to his normal form.
"…Eh?" Seeing Turles—his face caved in, dead as a doornail—Lin Qi was momentarily stunned and muttered in disdain.
"Tsk tsk… You couldn't even take a tap? That was just a casual step, and you're already dead?"
He had planned to spare the guy's life, but in the end… he accidentally killed him!
One less Saiyan… sigh, another general gone from his kingdom.
"Whatever. I'll gather the Dragon Balls and resurrect you guys when I've got the time."
And just like that, Turles, who didn't survive more than two chapters, bit the dust. Lin Qi didn't even spare the corpse another glance and turned his attention to the Spirit fruit.
"Let's see what this so-called divine delicacy is all about." He plucked a fruit and took a bite.
Crunch… crunch…
"Blegh!" Lin Qi spat it out in disgust. The texture was dense and fibrous, with a fishy stench—like someone who hates durian being forced to eat it.
He quickly tossed the fruit aside and sensed the effects. His power level only increased by a few tens of thousands…
It was like giving a billionaire a few hundred bucks—would he even care?
There was a bit of improvement in his mental faculties, but it wasn't significant. The last effect was a slight increase in destructive power.
Very little, just a sliver—barely enough to bother mentioning. Sigh, forget it.
"I thought it was something precious. No wonder this thing only showed up in Dragon Ball Z and completely vanished in the later arcs!"
Lin Qi looked around, then decided to go with the simplest method: brute force. He yanked the Spiritual Tree out by its roots.
Using Instant Transmission, Lin Qi returned to the high skies above the God of Destruction Realm and shouted toward the lake, "Whis! I brought you something to eat—"
"The Spiritual Tree?!" Hearing the voice, Whis looked up and saw Lin Qi, now tiny in comparison to the massive tree he was carrying.
"That thing… Angels absolutely loathe it. We don't eat it. Just toss it away already!"
"Really?" Lin Qi sighed and asked again, hoisting the tree onto his shoulder. "You sure you don't want it? I was gonna give it to Quitela."
"Go on, go find someone else." Whis turned back down, continuing his discussion with the Oracle Fish.
"Tch... even gods find it gross, yet Turles treated it like a treasure!"
Lin Qi used Instant Transmission again and brought the Spiritual Tree to Universe 4's God of Destruction Realm. "Quitela! I brought you a specialty from Universe 7!"
"Hm? A specialty?!" Lying bored on a rock, Quitela sat up immediately and looked around before gazing upward.
"A tree?" He blinked in confusion. "That's… the Spiritual Tree?"
Now it was Lin Qi's turn to be puzzled. "Wait, everyone knows what this tree is?"
