“Huh?!”
The moment Jiang Nan's Super Saiyan 3 form emerged, a look of even greater surprise crossed Bardos' face. She stared at him, her eyes widening at the powerful aura that emanated from him.
“Such a powerful aura! Your strength now is more than a thousand times stronger than the first time we met! Little Jiang Nan, how have you trained to reach such a level of growth so quickly?!”
Even Bardos, despite her high opinion of Jiang Nan, never imagined he could grow so quickly.
His growth was almost unreal!
Jiang Nan's understanding of 10% of Beerus' strength was likely based on a human standard, a pinnacle human strength.
However, in the eyes of a powerful angel like Bardos, anyone who could even be remotely related to a god was not a mere human!
It was no exaggeration to say that Bardos could see Jiang Nan as a god-in-waiting.
If all went well, he would be a true battle-god in the future!
“Perhaps it's because of the blessing you bestowed upon me, Sister Bardos.”
Jiang Nan chuckled and scratched his head. Then, he became serious, bowing to Bardos. As he stood up, his aura intensified, and he spoke, "Sister Bardos, let's fight! I want to see how strong I truly am in battle.”
“Bring it on!”
Bardos smiled lightly, holding her angel staff, standing still. She looked at Jiang Nan, who was brimming with fighting spirit, her eyes filled with anticipation.
She hoped this little guy could give her even more profound surprises!
If that were the case, she might actually break the rules and make Jiang Nan, a being from the Seventh Universe, become a potential candidate for the Sixth Universe's God of Destruction!
Whoosh!
Jiang Nan moved, launching himself forward like a cannonball, instantly appearing in front of Bardos.
His speed was so fast, it caused a hint of surprise to flash on Bardos’ otherwise nonchalant face.
Bang!
Jiang Nan's punches were incredibly fast, landing hundreds of blows in a single second.
Yet, Bardos only extended a single finger, effortlessly blocking all of Jiang Nan's rapid-fire punches.
“Strange, such fast attacks, yet no openings! Moreover...”
Bardos defended herself, feeling a sense of disbelief in her heart.
In her opinion, Jiang Nan's rapid attack tempo should have exposed weaknesses. But not only were there none, he was becoming more aggressive with each passing moment!
“Hyaaah!!!”
Suddenly.
Jiang Nan roared and unleashed a powerful punch.
Bang!
While Bardos was distracted, she effortlessly countered Jiang Nan’s heavy punch using her Perfect Ultra Instinct, easily intercepting it with her body’s natural reaction.
But…
Bardos took a small step back.
That tiny step made a silver light flash in Jiang Nan's eyes.
“Angels are not invincible!”
Jiang Nan’s confidence soared. The golden and silver lightning energies swirling around him exploded, becoming almost tangible in this moment!
Boom!
His punch sounded like thunder.
In that instant, several streaks of lightning, as if solid, formed on the surface of his fist.
His punch arrived before Bardos in the blink of an eye.
Facing Jiang Nan's punch, Bardos' face lit up with surprise.
This young man's battle talent was truly terrifying.
Before Bardos could react, Jiang Nan's fist was already in front of her.
“Hyaaah!!!”
Jiang Nan's roar was deafening as his fist reached Bardos' face.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
That punch was only the beginning. The two of them were engaged in a close-quarters brawl.
The air was filled with sonic booms, Jiang Nan's punches were too fast to track with the naked eye, while Bardos, as always, defended herself with only a single finger, countering his attacks.
Bang!
After a few breaths, Bardos gently flicked her finger, lightly tapping Jiang Nan's oncoming punch.
Instantly.
Jiang Nan was sent flying, tumbling through the air for several rotations before landing and finally stabilizing himself.
“Not bad! Your attacks are aggressive and flawless, you are a true combat prodigy!”
Jiang Nan's fighting talent had surpassed Bardos' expectations, filling her with delight from beginning to end.
“How much power did you use in that last attack, Sister Bardos?”
Jiang Nan shook his numb arm, gritting his teeth as he asked.
Just from that flick of her finger, he felt like his arm was about to break. The power was unbelievable!
“That one?”
Bardos chuckled, “It's hard to say. My strength is vastly different from yours.”
“If Lord Champa fought you at full power, how much of your strength would you need to use?”
Jiang Nan asked curiously.
“I wouldn't need much. Champa would be defeated within three moves.”
Bardos chuckled.
The most important thing was that angels couldn't use all their strength. Otherwise, not even three moves would be needed. Just the release of their full aura, the burst of angelic power, could easily crush a powerful being on the level of a God of Destruction.
“An angel's power is terrifying!”
Jiang Nan took a deep breath, and he returned to his normal state from his Super Saiyan 3 form.
“What? Giving up already?”
Bardos smiled lightly, looking at Jiang Nan.
“No point,”
Jiang Nan shook his head. At Bardos' level, even if they were equal in power, he would lose instantly. The difference in their realms was too great.
“Yo!”
At that moment, a sound of breaking the air rang out, and then, the portly Champa appeared before Jiang Nan, making his eyes light up.
He knew he wouldn't be able to spar with Bardos for now. It was pure masochism.
But…
Champa was a perfect training partner!
Thinking about it, the light in Jiang Nan's eyes grew even brighter.
“Well, well, look who's awake, little Jiang Nan!"
Champa smiled as he looked at Jiang Nan, his gaze filled with kindness.
Over the years, Jiang Nan had occasionally brought him delicious food from Earth, helping him through countless difficult days.
So, he was getting kinder and kinder towards Jiang Nan.
"Lord Champa, long time no see."
Jiang Nan smiled, rubbing his hands together. "I have a favor to ask, could you do me a small service, Lord Champa?”
