Spar

With Ling Han winning the tournament, he got the dragon balls. the planet they had the tournament on is the last dragon ball Beerus and the others needed. once all of the dragon balls came together, the dragon was summoned by Whis with everyone staying to see what Ling Han's wish would be.

So, they watched as the super dragon balls began to glow after Whis said the password needed to summon the dragon. the dragon balls were huge golden orbs that had stars ranging from 1 to 7, these stars were bright red.

The world was swallowed with a bright light that forced everyone to cover their eyes, all but Ling Han, Whis, Beerus, Champa, and Vados who watched the scene of the 7 dragon balls fusing into one huge golden dragon which was rolled up into a ball.

The eyes of the dragon twitched, that alone would have been a heaven-shaking sound if they were not in outer space. As the Dragon's eyes slowly opened, the universe seemed to shake. with a bright red glow, the bubble around the dragon exploded, setting the dragon free to spread its wings.

It let out a roar, a roar that could be heard across the universe. it flapped its wings and began to fly around, its size quickly growing. In a matter of seconds, it was big enough to swallow planets, then stars, then star system, before it flew out of the galaxy, its size still growing to the point the galaxies all around it looked nothing more than dots. it swallowed everything, even Ling Han and the others were all swallowed, appearing within the dragon where they seemed to be far bigger than before.

for one, the galaxies within the dragon appeared around them, seeming as big as them. Ling Han was shocked by the beautiful view here. but soon up ahead, they saw another mouth appear. they flew through it and found themselves within the core of the Super Dragon Balls, it looked like a void where the Dragon slowly appeared before them.

"You Who Have Summoned Me, State Your Wish." The Dragon spoke in a language unknown to mortals. They called this the divine language. everyone looked towards Ling Han, wanting to know his wish.

"I wish to become 100% Self-Sustenance. I want to be able to convert my own energy to replace outside food, water, and air." I said with crossed arms, 

"A Simple Wish." Saying this, the Golden Dragon's eyes glowed. after a moment, My body glowed as I felt my energy being used to fill up my empty stomach. Yes, I will not get benefits from this like when I eat outside food, but there were no drawbacks. I will grow perfectly fine, 

"Does cultivation not remove such needs," Whis asked once the dragon disappeared after the wish was granted, the 7 dragon balls reappeared and flew off. some going to universe 7 and the others to universe 6. I of course sent clones to go get them and put them into the treasury. 

"It does, but I'm unique. Once one becomes a core formation realm expert, one loses the need for food and sleep. Once they become a Saint King, they lose the need for air. but due to my unique nature, food is something that might not be removed for billions of years to come." I said with a smile,

"Interesting, when are you returning to your world?" Whis asked, he and a few angels would go to this new world with Ling Han. So, he couldn't wait to go see this new world and see what Qi was.

"After I meet with your mother," I said making Whis eyebrow raise for a moment. but he said nothing else and headed toward Earth. 

"So, Ling. what's your world like?" Goku asked, when he heard that the world Ling Han came from had billions if not trillions of people as Strong as Whis and some stronger, Goku wanted to go there.

"My world naming isn't the same as this world. my first name isn't Ling, that would be Han." I said calmly. In a world where almost everyone had only one name, more than one name was something most of them were not used to.

"as for my world... well, you guys would be considered a genius. in your 40s and are already so powerful, thats impressive. in my world, those around your level of power are at least a million years old, with the oldest being in the trillions of years old." I said calmly, leaving Goku letting out a deep breath from the very thought of fighting these people.

Goku was a unique person, if he could marry the concept of fighting, he would. He enjoyed the process of training and fighting those stronger. He grew hooked on the feeling of progress, the feeling of improvement, and overcoming one limits. Someone like him in the cultivation world would be fated to reach the peak.

"Vegeta... and Goku, what do you think about becoming my knights? I can't allow just anyone to leave this world and enter mine, but becoming mine would give you that chance. become one of the few elites of my Ling clan." I said with a smile, making the two stunned for a moment,

"I'm not sure about that and all. What do you mean by being your knight?" Goku asked confused about all of this.

"Pretty much, you would become part of my royal knights. You would only answer to me and me alone, you would have the freedom to do as you want so long as it doesn't impact the Kingdom in a bad way. although at times I will call for you to fight, you would gain the power to cultivate and many other things." I said leaving the two confused, but as I explained what cultivation was, Bulma, Vegeta's wife was the one to instantly jump on the idea.

the idea of eternal youth shocked her, she would no longer need to get the dragon balls to wish for some unique things, like to look younger, a bigger butt, and so on...

"What is the catch? this sounds too good to be true." Vegeta said with a deep frown. Vegeta although prideful, didn't see why someone from a world far greater than their own would give them so many benefits. from what he heard of the cultivation world, he guessed cultivation arts were rare with the resources being fought heavily for. being given such resources plus so much freedom... it sounded too good to be true. 

"The catch is that you would join my Ling clan, although you don't need to take the Ling clan name. Ling Vegeta doesn't sound right." I said calmly, Vegeta thought for a moment before looking at Whis. seeing him nod at him, Vegeta nodded slightly. Goku seeing this, although still confused about the matter, also nodded, not wanting Vegeta to leave him behind. but when Vegeta was about to bow, I stopped him.

Vegeta although prideful, he knew when to bow. He bowed before Beerus and Whis, and now before me

"No need to bow, only do that stuff around a few people. but as of this moment, you're not allowed to bow to anyone." I said leaving Vegeta stunned for a moment, but he just nodded slightly.

"... what about you?" I asked Hit, Hit frowned for a moment. He looked towards Vegeta and Goku for a second, before he nodded as well.

"that's great..." I said with a smile. they talked for some time until they arrived on Earth, there Ling Han, went on to take the time to know everyone there and clear up any questions they might have.

I got to see many of this world's abilities, after all, although when I opened my eyes I was all-seeing, I didn't see stuff like the dragon ball world, or even see stuff like beyond his world and into the chaos.

So, although almost any information he wanted just came to him, he took the time to get to know many things about this world... at least the less important stuff. 

{The Host has collected 95% of the dragon ball verse Fate... the host has collected the fate of a verse. this is a milestone, the host has been rewarded.

[Creation]- the host Energy shall take form within the treasury, forming treasures that take form based on the host mind. 

[Perfection]- the host energy control shall impact the upgrading capability of the treasures within the treasury. this means the better your energy control, the less energy would be needed for the treasures to improve}

'Interesting...' Ling Han sat back, sensing how his energy was suddenly taking a huge drop, normally this was impossible as he recovered instantly, but this changed when my energy was being used instantly or on myself.

for example, if I used my energy to form supreme marks within my daintian, then my recovery speed would not be instant. If I cultivated my blood, then it too would cause me not to recover instantly.

Time didn't flow within the treasury, anything that would happen, happened instantly. this led to all of the treasures within the treasury sucking me dry, before waiting an instant for me to recover, before sucking me dry again.

One should know, that when I was absorbing Vegeta Ki which was infused into his fists, my cultivation had skyrocketed. it skyrocketed because I set it to only improve without my strength improving at all. I wanted the benefits from each realm, I wouldn't gain said benefit if I couldn't reach the said realm. 

I wanted to have it so that I would always skip 3 realms, so once I reached half-step Greater Saint, I would have my combat strength at half-step Cosmic realm. that would be skipping the Greater Saint Realm, Saint King Realm, and Loose Immortal. Once my strength is at half Step Mountain and River, then I will make sure the 3 realms skip in combat strength remains. 

 One should also know, that Vegeta was at an early Mountain And River tier. his energy plus the fact My strength wasn't improving could allow me to reach the level 3 Xiantian realm.

"Hey, you're pretty strong. mind if you want to spar?" Goku asked causing everyone to look at him with weird looks. the guy wanted to fight his boss, and on top of that, the boss was only 1 year old. Goku wasn't dumb by any means, he was quite smart. He just enjoyed fighting, and he wasn't happy with how their last fight went. 

"Sure," I said with a shrug, although Goku was stronger than me, it was not something I was against. after all, I wanted to improve my martial arts capability.

So, space was quickly made for us to spar. Goku sized me up for a moment before he shot towards me. He had of course held back, or else what would the point of a spar be? So, he appeared before me while punching me. but with perfect timing, I easily dodged his punch.

Goku's eyes widened for a moment before he smiled... he couldn't help but think he had seen this somewhere... thats right, back then he was the kid fighting grown-ups. to think such a day would come when he would be the grown-up fighting a kid. 

With a flash, Goku punched me once more, but this time I took his fist. Goku's eyes widened as he found himself in mid-air, falling towards his back. he quickly landed on his feet, but my hand came flying forward. Goku blocked while jumping backward to make some space.

"I win..." I said calmly, confusing Goku who was just starting to enjoy the spar. Almost everyone was confused by my words, all but Whis and Vados whose eyes were wide open.

"W..." Goku wanted to speak, but all of a sudden, Goku's arm lost all of its power. his arm fell weakly to the ground, out of his control. the following second, Goku fell to the ground, his body no longer listening to him.

"I hit your pressure points... you should really learn to protect them, walking around with them out in the open like that makes you an easy target." I said calmly, leaving Goku too stunned for words. Pressure points were nothing new to Goku, but the idea of protecting them was new to him. normally, one just needed to avoid having them hit or strengthen them with Qi. Goku quickly gathered his Ki, and with a burst, he stood.

"Round Two," Goku said to which I shrugged while Goku shot toward me, this time he was using even more power. Goku's instincts were sharp, as the way he was now, he was equally matched with me. his strength was above mine, but just high enough for my martial arts to close the gap. 

With a step, I stepped forward to clash with Goku in coming fist... but at such perfect timing, my fist moved, turning to the side while I tapped Goku's arms. Goku was on guard and protected his pressure point using Ki. but he quickly realized that was a trap when he realized I used my finger to lift me into the air, allowing my leg to reach his face. even so, Goku had a quick reaction skip and used his free hand to block, but that blinded him, allowing my leg to slam into his stomach.

Goku was sent flying back, before quickly landing on the ground and looking towards me with a smile. I smiled slightly as well, although I had kicked him, Goku had jumped back, and used the blow from my leg to create distance, 

"Your martial arts capability... they are on the same level as Whis," Goku said with a smile, to which I just nodded slightly, 

"last round," Goku said as powered up, entering super Saiyan Blue. there were many forms a Saiyan could transform into. the first was Super Saiyan One. In this form, a Saiyan would at first gain a 50 times boost to their overall capability. but they could improve this, improving that power up by up to 100 times.

Super Saiyan 2 gave a power-up twice as much as Super Saiyan 1, and Super Saiyan 3 gave a power-up 4 times that of Super Saiyan 2.

Above this was Super Saiyan God. This form was special, it brought power up more than 100 times that of Super Saiyan 3. It also had the added benefit of converting its power into one base form the first time one tapped into this form. meaning after gaining this form, one would not only have that power converted into their base form, but they would still be able to transform back into this form to gain the same power boost.

Super Saiyan Blue was pretty much going Super Saiyan on top of Super Saiyan God, so it was a 50 to 100 times boost in power. it also was special, as this form gave one perfect energy control, which is why Goku entered this form to avoid hurting or destroying the planet with his overwhelming power. Of course, this form has a drawback, that being that it burns a lot of energy. Goku had yet to perfect this form, 

Goku shot towards me, I looked at him for a moment... this would be the first time I would truly attack with my energy. gathering my energy into my fist, I punched forward to clash with Goku's incoming fist.

The moment their two fists clashed, Goku's eyes widened. this one clash wasn't simple. for one, Ling Han's defense kicked in to prevent Ling Han from suffering any damage from this clash. this led to a scene where Goku's fist wasn't as powerful as it should have been. when Ling Han fist hit his fist, he felt like he was bunched everywhere. his stomach, mouth, eyeballs, ears, balls, and so on. down to even bits of his cells and heart. he felt the fist full might slam into him.

His eyes widened as he coughed up a mouthful of blood. he stumbled backward, coughing up mouthfuls of blood nonstop. everyone including Ling Han was stunned.

{Host, your attacks target everything, from his fate, mind, soul, memory, past, future, and so on. They also bypass all defenses. yes, you clashed with him, but that clash is still linked with him.} the system said while I watched Goku who was about to die. I quickly breathed out, removing the effect of my punch and allowing Goku to return to 100%

"..." I looked at everyone who was looking at me in shock, unable to understand what happened. After all, Goku was no push-over. they didn't understand how one clash left Goku in that state.

"My apologies, I forgot I was unique from others. if I attack, then I attack everything about my target. No one can defend against my attacks, so although you are far stronger than me... we shouldn't spar. Just now, my attack hit your past self, mind, future, fate, soul, and so on." I said leaving everyone stunned and horrified at my power.

Just how can anyone resist such capability? Whis and Vados saw it the best, it was like Zeno's power had gathered into Ling Han's attack... but far better. 

that fist held the power to erase everything, create, destroy, delete, and so on. Each power landed on everything, landing on the very concept of who the target was... even Zeno wasn't this capable. that fist used the power of creation to create a path around one's defense. on top of the unique nature of that attack, targeting even the fate or past and future of a target, it created an attack that couldn't be blocked. They couldn't fully see through the attack themselves. 

"Wow... you're something," Goku said softly while looking at me with a curious look. his mind was running right now, just how was he going to overcome such power? He had the talent that allowed him to copy techniques he saw just once, even before learning about Ki, he saw a Ki attack for the first time and just did it. thats how talented he was, but this attack was just too complex and transcended everything he knew.

My attacks ignored both resistance and defense, there was no way anyone could block, dodge, and affect my attack. Goku was lucky I targeted his fist, and not something like his head, or else he would have died instantly.

In fact, Whis and the others might also die instantly from my attack, well it depends on what type of an attack. since my attack would do its full damage, and ignore space and time, it would feel like my attack landed everywhere on them all at once, while at the same time ignoring their defense and resistance...

"You need not worry, with some training I'm sure you could one day prove yourself a worthy challenge to me," I said with a smile, A Saiyan talent is said to be endless... but that wasn't true. only my talent was truly endless. Saiyan Talent is the fact they can shatter and expand their limits if they reach the limit of their capability, they can shatter their limits and go higher. when they heal from their injury, it's because of this finite talent that is tapped into that they grow stronger.

Just now, Goku just got 100 times stronger after I healed him. This is the Saiyan race's unique ability, the Zenkai boost. I couldn't help but wonder if I could do something like this. 

{Host, many cultivations arts could allow one to take others' bloodlines. just absorb the bloodline you want if you want to get it... sigh, must I remind you every time? plus, you do grow stronger with each injury you suffer. but you never really suffered injury after seeing your true might. you're empowered by everything, injuries, and recovery also help you grow stronger.} the system said helplessly, leaving me embarrassed that I had forgotten my capability.

"Oh, I have to go meet the Grang Minister. the battle is about to start." I said calmly, before disappearing leaving everyone standing there with a blank look...
