"I said, of course I wouldn't kill him. If I killed him, who would work for me for 10,000 years?" Champa grinned, chuckling to himself.
Champa was overjoyed.
The 1,900 years lost to Rumssi were also written off.
This brat actually dared to challenge a God of Destruction.
Who gave you the courage to last for one minute?
Do you think you're all that just because you've mastered Ultra Instinct?
A nascent Ultra Instinct, daring to show off in front of a God of Destruction.
"Vados, heal him," Champa instructed with a smile.
"I'm afraid that won't be necessary, Lord Champa," Vados shook her head gently.
"What do you mean?" Champa was taken aback.
"Mr. Vegeta was just playing with you. He's not injured," Vados said with a smile.
"Wh-what did you say?" Champa was stunned for two seconds.
"Slap!"
The moment Champa finished speaking, Vegeta sprang up from the ground like a carp.
"So you saw through it," Vegeta grinned at Vados.
"Oh my, oh my, that was perfectly timed... only 5 seconds left," Vados calculated and reminded him.
Champa felt his entire being turn sour.
I knew it, this brat was lying motionless on the stage.
He was waiting for me here all along!
How shameless!
He faked being on the verge of collapse to lower my guard and then stall for time?
"Swish!"
Champa panicked.
Only 5 seconds remained.
I have to defeat this guy quickly.
"Wait a moment!" Vegeta immediately distanced himself from Champa and shouted, "Pause the match."
Champa stopped instantly upon hearing this.
"Brat, what do you want now?" Champa asked.
"The time I was lying on the stage earlier doesn't count," Vegeta replied. "So there are still 56 seconds left in the match. You don't have to worry about that."
"Wh-what did you say?" Champa was stunned.
"Have you heard of the sport called basketball?" Vegeta asked with a smile. "In a basketball game, time only counts when the game is in progress. It stops during free throws or when taking a shot."
"Basketball?" Champa scratched his head.
"Oh, by the way, in that book next door, 'Dragon Ball: Awakening the Omni-King's Erase Technique from the Start,' I can no longer look at basketball directly," Vegeta added.
Champa wore a bewildered expression.
What was so peculiar about basketball?
"As if that book can look at basketball directly," Rumssi snorted.
Vegeta: "..."
"What are you guys talking about?" Vados wasn't quite sure about all this.
"Vados, I'll teach you how to play basketball later," Vegeta turned and said to her.
Vados: "?????"
What basketball?
"Although the blue hoop is a bit hard to look at, I find it quite unique," Vegeta mused.
Vados and Whis exchanged glances.
They both felt that what this kid was saying was a bit off.
Rumssi was almost ready to give Vegeta a thumbs-up.
You brat, you dare to tease angels.
Look at the angel's hoop...
My requirements are much simpler.
I like pure black hoops.
"Are you done talking? If you're done, hurry up and continue," Champa grunted, then instructed Vados, "Vados, you time it. Time only counts during the match, that's great! Vegeta, you're quite confident!"
"The Ultra Instinct just now was no match for you at all, you were defeated in less than 4 seconds in your hands," Vegeta mused. "It seems that even if you unleash Autonomous Ultra Instinct, the outcome might be the same..."
"What is Autonomous Ultra Instinct?" Champa blinked.
"It's nothing, it's just a new name Vegeta gave to the God of Destruction's skill, that's all," Rumssi explained from the side.
"God of Destruction's skill? Autonomous Ultra Instinct?" Champa was stunned again.
"That's right, a skill of the self-centered god," Vegeta smiled slightly. "Isn't it very similar to the God of Destruction's skill?"
"You... you mean? You've already grasped the God of Destruction's skill?" Champa exclaimed, his expression shifting slightly.
This brat wasn't simple.
Not only had he mastered the angel's Ultra Instinct, but he had also grasped the God of Destruction's skill.
However, Rumssi had mentioned before that he had been teaching Vegeta the God of Destruction's skill for a while.
So, it seemed normal for Vegeta to be able to grasp the skills of an Outer God.
"Don't you know? You're learning too many things!" Champa chuckled. "If you had focused solely on either Ultra Instinct or the God of Destruction's skill, you might have lasted a minute against me! But now, you're far from it!"
As Champa spoke, he once again charged rapidly towards Vegeta.
"Bang!"
Golden light erupted from Vegeta's body, his hair rapidly extended backward, soon growing past his waist.
Vegeta transformed, becoming Super Saiyan 3.
Seeing Vegeta's transformation, Champa's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Bang!"
At that moment, Champa's attack arrived.
Champa's fist aimed for Vegeta's chest and was thrown.
"Bang!"
This time, Vegeta didn't just defend. He raised his arm and blocked Champa's punch.
This was the Super Saiyan 3 transformation.
And after transforming into Super Saiyan 3, Vegeta had also unleashed Autonomous Ultra Instinct.
Of course, Champa wasn't using his full strength either.
Vegeta thus blocked Champa's attack.
"Bang!"
Seizing the opportunity, Vegeta swept his leg, fiercely kicking Champa's ankle.
Champa winced in pain.
"Hmph!"
Vegeta exerted more force, and Champa's body began to tilt.
However, Champa reacted quickly, propped himself up with his right hand on the ground, and immediately floated up, kicking out.
"Slap!"
Vegeta raised his hand again and blocked Champa's attack.
"Bang!"
Vegeta then followed up with a powerful kick towards Champa.
Champa was hit, almost sent flying into the sky like a ball.
"Hmph!"
Champa stopped himself in mid-air.
Champa's face turned red with anger.
"I never expected you to be able to transform too!" Champa grunted. "I underestimated you!"
"Thank you for the compliment," Vegeta smiled.
"Do you think that was all I had? You truly underestimate a God of Destruction," Champa said with a laugh.
After saying this, Champa deliberately turned to Vados and said, "Vados, the time when I was speaking just now doesn't count."
