Chaya listened attentively from the side as well, his expression calm and a faint smile always on his face.
Selyne's account had been edited down. She did not mention their training on Earth at all.
They had discussed it beforehand. After all, they had been away from Planet Vegeta for so many years and were unclear about many things. It would not be too late to tell them after they had figured out Planet Vegeta's current situation.
"Mom, you wouldn't believe it—Planet Selma actually has a moon! That night, such a huge, huge full moon moved through the clouds. I went outside, saw it, and then turned into a Giant Ape!"
"Oh my, did you lose your mind?"
"Hehe, I did!" Selyne spread her hands in front of her and spoke with an innocent expression.
"But luckily, Chaya reacted quickly. He cut off his own Tail first, then cut off mine too. Still, he ended up seriously injured. Chaya said my battle power had increased tenfold back then!"
Selyne giggled and went on to recount what had happened.
"You... If Chaya hadn't been decisive enough back then, the consequences would have been unimaginable." Rebecca pulled Selyne into her arms and repeatedly kneaded her little cheeks, making Selyne struggle and whimper nonstop.
"Chaya, fighting Selyne after she transformed must have been very difficult for you!" Rebecca released Selyne and turned to ask him with concern.
Chaya could not help but nod. Recalling the situation still left him shaken, and he sighed. "Yes. That was the hardest battle I'd fought since arriving on Selma. If I hadn't seized that tiny opportunity at the very last moment, the consequences would have been unthinkable. Even so, I was injured badly enough to be bedridden for several months!"
Rebecca nodded deeply. A Saiyan's Giant Ape transformation was a double-edged sword. It was certainly useful against enemies, but it could easily harm allies as well. That was why Elite Warriors usually led attacks on high-level planets. At critical moments, Elite Warriors could transform into Giant Apes and launch attacks against the enemy.
At that point, Low-Class Warriors and Mid-Class Warriors had to withdraw, or they would only become cannon fodder.
"By the way, where's Uncle Adri? Didn't you say he was home too?" Chaya asked curiously. He had been home for quite a while and still had not seen Adri.
"Oh, there's still something going on at the training corps. He'll be back soon," Rebecca said.
Chaya nodded in understanding. Ever since the Adri Squad had disbanded, Adri had become an instructor at the training camp. He was mainly responsible for training young children with the potential to become Elite Warriors, and he often took them out to carry out simple missions.
Of course, the Saiyan children were the ones who fought. Adri was only responsible for watching over them.
This also showed the difference in how Saiyans treated Mid-Class Warriors and Elite Warriors. Back then, Chaya and the others had stayed in the training camp for only three years before being sent out on missions. They had not received such good treatment.
They chatted for a while longer, then Rebecca began preparing dinner. Around then, Adri finished work and returned home.
Seeing his daughter and nephew, whom he had not seen for years, a smile appeared on Adri's slightly dark face. He warmly stepped forward to examine them both. "Hahaha, it's been a long time, you two little ones. Hmm, you've both grown up and become sturdier. Little Chaya, you too—you look more and more like your father."
"Dad!" Selyne cried happily.
"Uncle Adri!"
"Good, good! Haha, you're finally back. It's good that you came back safely!" Adri laughed heartily and shouted at the top of his lungs.
He knew that the mission on Planet Selma was far from simple and that it was easy to encounter danger there. He had originally thought the children would take much longer to complete their mission, yet they had returned after only a little over five years. The fact that both children had returned safely meant they had passed the test, which made Adri extremely happy.
A Saiyan's initial trial mission was crucial. It could be said to directly affect every aspect of their future development. Get ahead once, and you stayed ahead at every step. Hadn't he himself completed his trial outstandingly back then before gradually becoming the captain of the Adri Squad?
He patted Chaya and Selyne on the shoulders, then took a simple Scouter from his pocket and placed it over his ear. "Come on, let me see how high your battle power has reached."
With a smile, Adri pressed the switch on the Scouter. It beeped, and the data appeared.
"962!"
"987!"
Seeing the numbers displayed on the Scouter, Adri froze for a moment before bursting into delighted laughter. "Oh, incredible! Your battle power is actually quite high. Mm-hmm, with battle power like this, you're no weaker than Elite Warriors."
"Not bad, not bad. Maybe our family will produce two remarkable figures in the future!"
Although he had already guessed that Chaya and Selyne's battle power could not be low when they safely completed their mission and returned to Planet Vegeta, Adri was still filled with surprise after the Scouter measured their exact battle power.
His daughter and nephew were not even nine years old, yet they already possessed nearly one thousand battle power. Their futures were limitless. They would definitely become exceptional warriors.
"Ah, we've been talking so much that I'm starving. Filling your stomach is a prerequisite for Saiyan combat! Rebecca, bring out the food already!"
As he spoke, Adri called everyone to eat with the bearing of the head of the household.
The battle at a Saiyan dining table was exceptionally fierce.
At dinner, the four Saiyans repeatedly fought over food, instantly staging an intense battle for it! The plates clinked and clattered against one another as the food covering the table vanished at a visible pace. The sight was enough to move anyone. Their movements were so fast that several afterimages faintly appeared. If Earth's martial artists saw it, they would surely sigh that this too was a form of training.
The amount of food a Saiyan family consumed each day was astonishing. Without a specialized food supply system, Planet Vegeta would quickly descend into chaos from food shortages. Therefore, Planet Vegeta had extraterrestrials specifically responsible for supplying food.
After dinner, in the living room.
The family of four sat around the sofas in the living room. Adri held a tablet-like data receiver and browsed through the day's information, planning the training camp's upcoming schedule while listening to Selyne chatter about her glorious achievements.
Rebecca sat quietly nearby, listening, occasionally introducing Chaya to the situation on Planet Vegeta.
Chaya listened especially carefully because he needed to understand what the current situation on Planet Vegeta was like so he could make better plans.
Through his deliberate yet seemingly casual probing, Adri and Rebecca told him and Selyne about the events that had taken place on Planet Vegeta over the past few years.
From Adri's description, Chaya learned that Planet Vegeta had not changed much overall. It was still helping Frieza conquer planet after planet. They could not exactly be said to have committed every evil imaginable, but they had certainly left their target planets in a state of panic.
Of course, several major events had occurred on Planet Vegeta over the past few years. For example, King Vegeta's son, the Saiyans' first prince—Vegeta—had been born more than a year ago.
Although he was not surprised by this, Chaya's expression still turned serious. He knew that Vegeta's birth meant the day Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta had drawn one step closer.
Adri's tone was full of envy. According to him, when Vegeta was born, a Scouter had detected that his battle power was an astonishing 280. He was an extremely rare, highly gifted Elite Warrior! King Vegeta had been overjoyed and specifically named the child Vegeta after Planet Vegeta. He had even held banquets in the royal palace for several days to celebrate Vegeta's birth.
And only a little over a year had passed, yet Vegeta's battle power had already risen to 420 at an astonishing rate!
Even in Saiyan history, he was a rare genius.
"Prince Vegeta is truly an exceptionally rare super genius. He'll probably reach one thousand battle power within a few years..." Adri sighed with emotion. He had never seen a Saiyan with such extraordinary potential. And as the Saiyans' prince, it was clear that King Vegeta truly had an heir.
As he spoke, Adri glanced again at his daughter and nephew. These two children were also exceptionally outstanding, but compared to Prince Vegeta, they still fell far short. Chaya and Selyne would only reach one thousand battle power at around nine years old, while Prince Vegeta would likely achieve it at five or six!
A difference of three years meant a world of difference in the future!
Still, despite his musings, Adri kept smiling. At the very least, compared with Saiyans of the same age, they were exceptionally talented. How could he compare his own children with His Highness the Prince? They were not even on the same level. If Chaya and Selyne could surpass him and reach ten thousand battle power in the future, he would already have cause to thank the heavens!
At that moment, Adri had no idea that Chaya and Selyne's strength far exceeded his imagination. The ultimate goal he had set for the children was destined to be a complete joke.
If he were told all this now, who knew what expression Adri would make.
