Suddenly, Adri's face flushed red. He struck his fist against his palm, as if he had thought of something important.

"Chaya, how many people can you take with you in one use of Instant Transmission? If we find a planet suitable for life, can you bring a lot of Saiyans over?"

Adri's words reminded everyone.

That was right. If they found a planet that was hard to detect, couldn't they quietly take many Saiyans away? But all of that depended on whether Chaya had the ability to take large groups with him.

The hearts of Adri and the others immediately burned with excitement, and they all looked at Chaya with expectant gazes.

Chaya coughed softly, and sure enough, he did not disappoint them. He raised a brilliant smile and said with certainty, "Right now, I can take ten people with me in a single Instant Transmission, though we'll need transfer planets in between to rest! The number I can take isn't very large, but the distance of each teleport is still very far. A spaceship definitely won't be able to catch up."

"And as my strength increases, my superpower will grow stronger too!"

At that, everyone smiled.

The distance Chaya crossed in a single teleport would take an aircraft more than ten days to fly. Although the number of people he could take each time was a little small, that was no problem. Taking it step by step was better than being unable to take even one person away. And as Chaya's power grew stronger, his Instant Transmission ability would also strengthen.

Thinking of this, the worry in Adri's heart finally eased a little.

And for some reason, every member of the Adri Squad suddenly had a bizarre thought.

Did Saiyans believe in gods? Perhaps they did, perhaps they did not, but they believed even more in their own strength!

If a god was stronger than them, then believing was fine. But if a god was weaker than them, what use was belief?

But at this moment, with the appearance of the mature-beyond-his-years Chaya, they suddenly felt a trace of reverence toward the workings of fate.

Yes, when the Saiyans were about to face a crisis of extinction, a Saiyan like Chaya, who possessed a special superpower, had suddenly appeared. Could this be heaven's will? If so, then it truly was the blessing of the gods!

"It looks like I can't treat him like an ordinary child anymore," Adri thought to himself.

Chaya, of course, did not know what Adri and the others were thinking.

At that moment, he was thinking of the Instant Transmission ability on Planet Yardrat. It seemed that when Planet Yardrat's Instant Transmission was activated, there was no limit on the number of people. As long as everyone held hands, they could all teleport together, and there was no obvious distance limit either. It could be considered an extremely perfect secret technique.

Alas, secret techniques and superpowers were fundamentally different. Chaya sighed a little.

When he had time, he definitely had to make a trip to Planet Yardrat and learn their Instant Transmission ability. But before that, he first had to know Planet Yardrat's spatial location.

On the desolate planet.

The cold wind howled, and icy air currents moved at extreme speed. The gale struck their faces, and their black hair whipped wildly, but every Saiyan present possessed a powerful body tempered through countless battles. This bit of harsh environment did not cause them the slightest discomfort.

"Oh right, Chaya, why did you ask me to bring a Scouter?" Rebecca remembered the Scouter Chaya had mentioned before, so she held the frame-shaped detector in her hand.

"Aunt Rebecca, Uncle Adri, there's something I've never told you."

A faint curve formed on Chaya's handsome face.

"Actually, Selyne and I completed the mission on Planet Selma many years ago. The reason we didn't immediately return to Planet Vegeta was, on one hand, because we didn't want to stand out too much and draw other people's attention. On the other hand, after I discovered my Instant Transmission superpower, Selyne and I went to other planets to train!"

"Wait. You're saying you completed the mission several years ago. Doesn't that mean your battle power exceeded 1,000 a long time ago?" After hearing this, Paradi widened his eyes and asked.

"That's right. Around when I was a little over five, my battle power had already broken through 1,000!"

At this point, Chaya admitted it readily.

His words immediately drew astonished looks from the elders. Even the always-cold Beruk glanced sideways at him. He had reached a battle power of 1,000 at five years old. Was this still a Mid-Class Warrior? His growth speed was simply too shocking, hard to believe! Even compared to Prince Vegeta, he was not inferior.

"Because at the time, I was worried that returning to Planet Vegeta so early would draw King Vegeta's attention, so Selyne and I ran off to other planets to train."

After listening, Adri could not help secretly nodding, approving of Chaya's approach.

Saiyans had flamboyant personalities. With the slightest achievement, they wished they could publicize it widely until everyone knew. Someone like Chaya, who understood how to hide his strength, was extremely rare. But judging from the current situation on Planet Vegeta, Chaya's decision to conceal his battle power back then had undoubtedly been a brilliant move.

It had neither drawn King Vegeta's attention nor attracted Frieza's spying!

Adri could not help asking curiously, "In that case, your true battle power isn't what you've shown. So what is your current battle power?"

"I'll say it, I'll say it!"

Seeing her father's astonished expression, Selyne proudly puffed out her chest and opened her hand with a face full of pride.

"Actually, after Chaya and I left Planet Selma, we went to a very beautiful low-level planet. Although the humans on that planet weren't worth mentioning in terms of individual battle power, they had mastered miraculous training methods. By learning their martial arts, Chaya's and my battle power shot up like crazy!"

"How did you avoid being detected by the Scouter?" Lize asked in a hoarse voice.

This was also what everyone found puzzling. Scouters had been developed specifically to detect an individual's energy. What method could possibly regulate against it?

"To put it plainly, Scouters detect the energy leaking from the surface of a living being. Selyne and I learned a kind of energy on that planet called 'ki.' In normal times, we draw our ki into our bodies. As long as the ki doesn't leak out, the Scouter can't measure the energy in us!"

Chaya spoke seriously, then explained the concept of ki.

However, just as different ages could come with a generation gap, no matter how many times Chaya explained it to them, Adri and the others still could not truly understand what "ki" was. Their habits from years of living had already formed their own system of energy circulation, and changing it in a short time was already difficult.

Perhaps among the Saiyans, only someone with extraordinary talent like Vegeta would later be able to grasp the application of ki.

Although they could not understand what "ki" was, that did not prevent them from forming an awareness of it. In short, it was a completely new and more profound theory.

Chaya lightly tapped one foot against the ground, and his body immediately rose into the air. The howling gale blew his hair in every direction. He took a deep breath, then shouted down at Adri and the others below:

"Everyone, pay attention. I'm going to release all my energy now!"

He clenched both fists and crossed his arms in front of his chest, then let out a low shout.

"Ha!"

In an instant, a mountain-toppling aura erupted with Chaya at its center. At that moment, Chaya's body seemed to become a giant magnet, drawing the surrounding rocks off the ground one after another. They floated and spun chaotically around him.

The already violent atmosphere of the barren planet grew even more chaotic. Turbulent, disorderly air currents mingled with an incomparably terrifying aura and scattered in every direction, stirring up the ionized particles drifting in the air. Slowly, they gathered into bright, winding arcs of lightning like coiling flood dragons.

Rumble!

A sudden series of roars sounded in the sky. Dark-purple lightning pierced through the dense, heavy clouds and struck downward, leaving a winding, brilliant, beautiful trail across the heavens.

"Beep!" "Beep!" "Beep!"

The Scouter detected that power and immediately let out a rapid string of electronic beeps. The numbers on the lens began to climb steadily.

"2000!"

"3000!"

"6000!"

The numbers were still rising.

The expressions of Adri and the others shifted from initial surprise to seriousness, then finally grew somewhat grave. Numbers like these shook them badly.

But the data displayed on the Scouter showed no sign of stopping at all. It was still climbing.

Could this still not be Chaya's true strength? Just how high was his battle power? Would it break ten thousand?

Adri looked at Chaya, whose whole body was wrapped in dense masses of Ki, and couldn't help growing expectant.

Right after that—

"9000!"

"10000!"

Chaya's battle power soon surpassed ten thousand, and it did not stop. It was still rising. Now both Adri and Beruk became exceptionally solemn, the blood in their bodies beginning to boil...

"Little Chaya is actually... this strong!" Alice's voice trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes began to sparkle.

Far up in the air, Chaya shone dazzlingly like a newly risen blazing sun. That suffocating, terrifying aura had already swept across the entire continent. The earth trembled faintly, while stray leaking energy drew in the ionized particles in the air and let out crackling bursts.
