Selecting personnel was a meticulous and serious matter. First, they had to be rational enough to see the current situation clearly and not leak the news before everyone had been evacuated.

Second, these people had to stay out of King Vegeta's sight as much as possible.

This immediately ruled out most Elite Warriors and Saiyans with exceptional talent. Among one million Saiyans, Mid-Class Warriors accounted for less than one percent, and every one of them was an extremely valuable resource.

Most Saiyans with outstanding potential were already on King Vegeta and Frieza's lists and received special attention. To minimize the impact, none of them could be evacuated.

Of course, Adri and the others could not leave without taking any of them. That would severely drain the Saiyans' potential. They simply had to screen them more strictly than Low-Class Warriors and Mid-Class Warriors. If necessary, they would even have to fake a few deaths to get them out.

There was also the issue of the male-to-female ratio among Saiyans. It concerned the continuation of their race. Though Chaya himself did not care much about it, Adri and the others attached great importance to it, so it had to be considered.

In short, being able to take away two or three thousand people in the end would already be quite good! The Saiyan population was still under one million. The disappearance of several thousand of their people would inevitably draw King Vegeta's attention, so Adri and the others had to be especially careful when they acted.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Next, everyone should discreetly make contact with the Saiyans who can be evacuated. Be careful not to leak the news. We don't know when King Vegeta will launch his rebellion, and we don't have much time left!"

Adri spoke with a faint sigh.

"Having hope is better than having none!"

Beruk's face was grim, as though everyone owed him a great deal of money. His heart was like a powder keg at that moment, ready to explode at any time.

Proud Saiyans actually had to flee. To him, it was simply an insult.

All of this was because of Frieza!

"Frieza, sooner or later, we'll make you pay the price."

Ten days later, on the Barren Planet.

A bone-chilling gale swept sand and dust into the sky. Thick haze shrouded the heavens, turning everything a murky yellow.

Then, a thunderous boom rang out.

The ground immediately trembled. An orange-red mushroom cloud suddenly rose on the distant horizon, huge and blazing, like a bright sun appearing out of nowhere and instantly illuminating dozens of kilometers around it.

Whoosh, whoosh. The energy carried by the shockwave swept across the land. The first to bear the brunt were the towering mountains rising from the ground. The soil, hard as steel in the cold wind, instantly crumbled before the highly penetrating shockwave. Massive boulders collapsed and rolled down, each weighing several tons.

Within the dim, unclear field of vision, two blurred figures flew at high speed. One was large and one was small. They constantly shifted positions and attacked each other, vanishing and reappearing without warning. They fought from the sky to the ground, then from the ground back into the sky.

Every clash between them unleashed shockwaves powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth.

Crash! A vast expanse of dark-blue energy tore through the air, carving bright, beautiful trails across the sky.

"Hahaha, this feels amazing! It's been so long since I had such a satisfying battle."

The older man's battle suit was already in tatters, and blood-red wounds covered his skin. Though he was battered all over, there was not the slightest trace of pain on his face. Instead, the exhilarating battle had left him in high spirits.

The younger figure was clearly in better shape, though he still looked rather disheveled.

"Uncle Adri, you're still as formidable as ever. Hehe, battle really is the best form of training!" Chaya's face was flushed, and the blood in his body raced as though it were boiling.

"Hahaha, naturally! I, Adri, am still young. But if you hadn't suppressed your battle power, I probably would've been defeated after only a few moves."

Adri laughed heartily. The large movement tugged at the wounds on his body, causing a dull ache, but he paid it no mind.

"Here!" Chaya tossed him a Senzu Bean.

Adri casually caught the Senzu Bean and put it into his mouth. With a crunch, crunch, he chewed and swallowed it. Instantly, a surge of vitality coursed through his body. The wounds on Adri's body healed completely, and his spirit returned to its peak condition.

"This tiny bean is truly miraculous. I can barely bring myself to use it."

Adri felt a pang of regret. Using such a precious Senzu Bean for such minor injuries was simply too wasteful.

Chaya laughed. "Isn't using Senzu Beans during training exactly what they're for? So, Uncle Adri, how much has your battle power increased?"

Adri clenched his fists and felt the abundant strength within him. Smiling in satisfaction, he grinned and said, "It's almost 8,800 now. Hehe, I've gained over two hundred battle power in just ten days. I wouldn't even have dared dream of that before."

Chaya smiled. Indeed, the Saiyans' previous training methods had mostly relied on the most foolish and primitive methods, so the results were naturally poor.

Now, combined with the training methods Chaya had taught him, Adri's accumulated foundation had erupted all at once, allowing him to make such tremendous progress in just ten days. However, Chaya knew it was temporary. Once Adri had exhausted that reserve, his rate of growth would slow again.

"Unfortunately, those theories about Ki you mentioned are far too profound. I simply can't understand them." Adri scratched his head in frustration. Habitual thinking had already formed a fixed pattern in his mind, and it could not be changed overnight.

"Ki is something that needs to be instilled from childhood. Otherwise, it's very difficult to understand."

"Oh, right!" After brushing the fine grains of sand scattered across his battle suit, Chaya took out a large bag of Senzu Beans from Dimensional Space. There were far more than the ones he had given Adri last time.

"Keep these Senzu Beans safe. Hand some out to Uncle Beruk and the others when you have the chance."

Adri took the bag and looked inside. It contained more than a hundred Senzu Beans. Surprised, he said, "So many Senzu Beans? I'm starting to wonder just how many you have hidden away..."

"Hehe, not that many. Uncle Adri, don't tell Selyne, or she'll definitely pester me for Senzu Beans again." Thinking of Selyne's greedy look whenever she saw Senzu Beans, Chaya felt that if she found out, he would lose another large handful of them.

"That's none of my business. Explain it to her yourself." Adri smilingly put away the Senzu Beans. He did not try to stop the two youngsters from bickering at all. In fact, he was even pleased to see their close relationship.

"Uncle Adri, which civilizations in the universe are skilled in advanced technology? Preferably ones capable of building large training chambers."

"Hm, finding someone capable of building large training chambers is no small request!" Adri thought for a moment before speaking.

"In North Galaxy, the Galactic Patrol has the highest technological level. But they've always disliked us Saiyans, and we rarely have contact with them. As for the other technological planets, they either belong to the Frieza Force or other hostile factions. That won't be easy to find!"

Chaya could not help frowning after hearing that. The Galactic Patrol's technology was indeed advanced, but it had always claimed to uphold peace in the Milky Way, so its relationship with the Saiyans, who disrupted the order of North Galaxy, was not good.

The other factions also understood the importance of technological civilizations and had sent people to conquer them long ago. Now, most of those technological planets belonged either to the Frieza Force or to factions hostile to it. It truly would not be easy to find one!
