Chapter 37: The Birth of the First Super Saiyan!
"Someone has sensed ki..." Popo muttered to himself from the side.
This made him marvel at the fact that these beings were truly remarkable aliens. Earning the title of a warrior race suggested that this species was exceptionally formidable in combat. From nothing to mastery, they had grasped it so quickly.
Moreover, it seemed like the others were close too!
Not only were they strong, but their learning ability was also terrifying. This race would undoubtedly be formidable in the universe, Popo thought.
However, he didn't know that the Saiyans had already been wiped out in the universe. Although they were called a warrior race, it was a self-proclaimed title. If the original trajectory of the Dragon Ball world had continued, the Saiyans would have been insignificant. If it weren't for Goku carving out a unique path, the Saiyans would have remained mere cosmic dust.
As time passed, all the Saiyans had not only sensed ki but also adapted to it and could control it.
They slowly opened their eyes, joy evident in them.
Only now did they truly understand why Mu Chuan's combat power had skyrocketed once he mastered ki.
"So this is ki?"
"Indeed, it's magical. Never thought that by sensing alone, you could determine a person's strength."
"This is much better than scouters."
Scouters not only required constant upgrades, but if the enemy's combat power was too strong, they would explode instantly, rendering them impractical! They were also easily damaged in battle, and sometimes couldn't even detect accurately.
Once someone mastered ki, the scouters became useless.
This was the insight they gained after mastering ki.
"You have truly mastered the control of ki. Next, you just need to adapt, and you can achieve perfect control," Popo said, appearing beside them at the right moment.
The Saiyans nodded, holding Popo in high regard. Although this black man didn't have high combat power, he certainly had some skills.
Axianna suddenly stood up and said to Karl beside her, "I want to see what my current combat power is. Use the scouter to check it for me."
"Although scouters aren't very useful, they can still accurately measure for those of us with lower combat power."
"Alright!" Karl said seriously, eager to see the extent of the combat power increase after mastering ki.
Not only him, but all the Saiyans were extremely curious.
After preparing herself, Axianna began to power up!
In an instant, the Lookout began to tremble. Although the shaking wasn't as terrifying as when Mu Chuan did it, it was still quite impressive for the average person.
Beep... beep... beep...
The scouter beeped crazily.
Eventually, Axianna's combat power stopped at the critical value.
Karl was astonished. Although he had anticipated this, the actual combat power figure still left him in awe when it appeared before him.
Is this the result of mastering ki control?
"Karl, what's the number?"
"Don't keep it to yourself. Share the joy, tell us."
As he was stunned, all the Saiyans present were eagerly awaiting the answer.
Axianna was just as curious.
Previously, her combat power was just over 10,000. What would it be now?
Karl's voice soon came through.
"23,000!!"
---
"23,000 combat power."
At that moment, everyone's expressions visibly changed, reflecting their surprise. Her power had more than doubled.
That meant their combat power wouldn't be much different?
Now, they truly understood the terror of mastering ki. It allowed them to unleash their true combat potential.
Although the scouter's values were correct, the power they had always controlled within themselves only manifested in desperate situations. But with ki control, they could unleash their peak combat power anytime, anywhere.
This technique was nothing short of miraculous.
Immediately, everyone thanked Popo for teaching them how to use ki.
...
Meanwhile, as the Saiyans were mastering the use of ki, something unprecedented was happening in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber!
When Mu Chuan's basic combat power reached its limit, he found it increasingly difficult to make further progress through his own training. Even with the system's incremental boosts, progress was slow.
Eventually, his combat power reached a terrifying 11 million—an incredibly high number for basic combat power!
Using the Great Ape transformation alone, he could achieve a combat power of 100 million.
And if he transformed into a Super Saiyan...
It would be even more astonishing!
But with his basic combat power at 11 million, he realized that further improvements would be extremely challenging.
So, he began trying to trigger emotional changes within himself. He started by recalling the destruction of the Saiyans, but these memories didn't affect him much.
Even though he had Saiyan blood, he was ultimately a transmigrator and couldn't empathize as deeply.
Thus, this approach failed.
Finally, he had a flash of inspiration and began recalling the various hardships of his previous life. The tragedies he endured, the cold stares of others...
Slowly, his energy began to surge!
Without realizing it, as he powered up, a faint yellow light started to glow, and his hair began to change color.
But he didn't notice this...
As he continued to recall his past experiences—truly feeling them—his emotions resonated more strongly.
"Argh!!!"
"Damn it, I never want to live like that again! I refuse to be trampled on!"
"I want to stand out!"
"What I missed in my past life, I'll make up for in this one!"
"I will live a brilliant life!"
He shouted his true thoughts out loud. Though he had tried to hide it, this was what he genuinely felt.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have endured solitude and trained so hard. Although he wanted to survive in the Dragon Ball world, he also wanted to live a brilliant life.
To be the one everyone admired!
To control his own destiny.
Such a simple desire, yet it had eluded him in his past life. His inner sorrow and anger transformed into power, causing his energy to spike.
The entire Hyperbolic Time Chamber trembled.
Finally, with a roar, Mu Chuan's hair turned golden, his body radiating golden light, and his eyes exuding a cold, ruthless gleam.
He also exhibited a hint of savage emotion.
This was a Super Saiyan!
The first Super Saiyan had officially been born!
