At this moment, Frieza stood frozen as if struck by lightning, his face filled with astonishment and alarm.
"Be-Beeurs-sama? You lost to Lin Chen? How is that even possible?"
Beerus turned around his head, unwilling to revisit that embarrassing memory.
So, Whis took it upon himself to explain with a smile, "It's true, Mr. Frieza. Beerus-sama indeed lost to Lin Chen in a one-on-one match."
Frieza was completely shocked. In the blink of an eye, over thirty years had passed, and it wasn't just him who had grown stronger. Lin Chen had also grown to an unimaginable level!
He slowly turned his head and saw the gentle smile on Lin Chen's face.
Frieza swallowed hard and suddenly felt fortunate that he hadn't attacked Lin Chen before. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.
Despite becoming countless times more powerful than in the past, Frieza was well aware that he still had a long way to go to match God of Destruction Beerus. If he couldn't even defeat Beerus, then forget about Lin Chen.
With this realization, Frieza's expression rapidly changed. Once arrogant, his gaze became devout, and he bowed towards Lin Chen, smiling, "Lin-Lin Chen-sama, there must be some misunderstanding here!"
Lin Chen chuckled, "Misunderstanding, Mr. Frieza? I heard you killed my divine dragon."
"It was-it was an accident!" Frieza hastily waved his hand, "Mr. Lin Chen! It was an accident. We were just sparring, and I accidentally used too much force..."
Seeing Lin Chen remain silent, Frieza gulped nervously and added, "By the way! I haven't congratulated Mr. Lin Chen yet. The Galactic Federation you've established is truly magnificent! The glory of the Galactic Federation will surely illuminate the entire universe! On behalf of the former Frieza Force, I also hope to join the Galactic Federation family!"
Hearing Frieza's words, his subordinates were stunned.
Bardock and others were equally taken aback. Was it the same universal emperor who was so full of malevolence and arrogance just a moment ago?
Even Lin Chen was surprised. He hadn't even had a chance to respond yet, and Frieza was already pledging allegiance to him?
However, Lin Chen hadn't received any system prompts so far, indicating that Frieza's words were likely mere formalities. Verbally submitting did not align with the system's purpose.
It seemed that besides words, Frieza needed to genuinely submit to him from the depths of his heart.
"Frieza, do you really want to join the Galactic Federation?" Lin Chen approached with a smile, patting Frieza's shoulder.
"Yes, Lin Chen-sama, it would be my honor to join the Galactic Federation," Frieza said sincerely.
"Is that so?" Lin Chen shook his head. "What you're saying is true, but I'm not entirely convinced. How about this, I'll give you a test. If you can pass it, you can leave today. I promise your safe departure, and you won't need to join the Galactic Federation. How does that sound?"
"A test?" Frieza's eyes widened upon hearing this. Although he had spoken pleasantly earlier, he didn't want to miss an opportunity to avoid compromising and bowing to Lin Chen if it really existed.
"Lin Chen-sama, may I inquire about the nature of this test?"
...
Sacred World of the Kai.
A row of tables and chairs had been set up, along with food and drinks. Whis and Beerus sat in chairs, savoring the food and eagerly awaiting the unfolding drama.
Bardock, Tights, and the others sat on the side, finding it hard to believe what was about to happen.
Aside from Whis and his group, as well as Lin Chen's friends, the two Supreme Kai and Kibito were also present, sipping their tea.
Kibito, with a grim expression, asked, "Supreme Kai-sama, they've come again..."
East Supreme Kai took a sip of tea and said, "Kibito, just accept it. Let's enjoy our tea and watch the show."
In the distance, Goku, Vegeta, and Broly, along with Lin Luo and Taro, formed a line. Lin Chen stood in front of them with Frieza.
"Frieza, the test I'm giving you is to choose one person from among them. If you can defeat them, you can leave safely today, and I won't hold you accountable for what happened on Planet Vegeta."
Frieza was somewhat surprised and asked, "Just defeat one of them? Lin Chen-sama, there are also two children here..."
"Consider them as one person. They'll fight together. But let me clarify beforehand, they are my sons," Lin Chen smiled.
"Very well, Lin Chen-sama, I accept the test!" Frieza replied with a hint of joy.
So, the so-called test was just a fight?
In that case, as long as it wasn't a fight against Lin Chen, Frieza wasn't afraid of anyone.
However, when choosing an opponent, Frieza was still cautious and didn't rush to make a decision.
He first glanced at Broly and skipped over him.
Broly's appearance was very distinctive, and he had seen it in the information provided by Sorbet, so he was well aware.
This guy is said to be a Saiyan from legends with the same bloodline as Lin Chen. When Cooler attacked Earth back then, he was the one who killed him.
This guy is not easy to deal with.
Next were Goku and Vegeta...
Frieza recalled Vegeta's transformation into a blue-haired form just moments ago. Although it was brief, Frieza felt that Vegeta's power was comparable to his own at that time. While he was confident in defeating them, he was also wary of potential surprises.
In the end, Frieza's gaze naturally fell upon Lin Luo and Taro, these two youngsters.
As Lin Chen's sons, Lin Luo and Taro, even though they had entered their youth, still had a youthful look on their faces, making them appear easy to deal with at first glance.
Even though he would have to face both of them, Frieza doesn't think he will lose to two boys whose hair hasn't even grown yet.
"You two, I'll choose you two!" Frieza pointed at Lin Luo and Taro, with a sinister grin on his face.
"Hehe, perfect! Frieza, my mom was killed by you once, and this time I'm going to avenge her!" Taro clenched his fists.
"Your mom?" Frieza was momentarily puzzled.
"It's her!" Taro pointed to Hanasia in the distance.
Frieza turned to look and quickly recognized her.
"Oh, so you're her son, huh? Hehehe..." Frieza chuckled softly.
He felt that victory was already within his grasp.
But Frieza didn't know that Lin Chen, upon seeing his choice, was smiling with great delight.
Frieza indeed preferred to pick on the weak. However, he had chosen wrongly.
Indeed, in terms of individual strength, Lin Luo and Taro were the weakest among them. But Lin Chen had bound them together for a reason. When the two of them fight together, they could unleash a power even surpassing Goku and Vegeta.
