Potential Development! Spirit Tempering Method
"The Z Sword... it's broken?!?"
"This is a sacred relic! How could you break it so easily?!"
The East Supreme Kai and Kibito were once again stunned.
What happened today has completely overturned their worldview.
Each one is more outrageous than the last.
If they weren't unusually lucid right now, they would all wonder if they were dreaming.
Under their incredulous gazes, Talot carefully examined the broken sword for a long time before finally tossing the broken Z Sword onto the ground.
This left the East Supreme Kai and his servant speechless, plunging them into a deathly silence.
It took East Supreme Kai and Kibito a while to accept the fact that the Z Sword had been broken.
Time passed by, minute by minute, and nothing unexpected happened.
"Could the legend really be false? Talot, what you just felt was just an illusion?" East Supreme Kai.
Just when the master and servant thought it was over.
Suddenly, a voice, weathered by countless years and filled with the vicissitudes of life, rang out from behind them.
"I thought I would never get out in this lifetime, but today someone finally broke the seal, and I... have finally seen the light of day again!!"
The voice of the elderly was tinged with relief and joy.
Talot looked toward the source of the sound.
The East Supreme Kai and Kibito Kai trembled upon hearing the sound and turned to look.
What came into view was a lewd old man dressed in Godly Garments.
Old Kai!
When the East Supreme Kai saw that the Old Kai was dressed almost identically to himself, his mind went blank for a moment. He seemed to have guessed something, but he couldn't believe it.
Just as they were about to ask about the identity of the Old Kai, they were stunned by the Old Kai's serious gaze.
This suppression from the God Position was so direct that he felt as if he were facing a stern elder.
"Alas! I have been sealed away for far too long. I never imagined that the new Supreme Kai would have become like this. It is truly lamentable..." The Old Kai sighed and shook his head repeatedly, extremely disappointed in the East Supreme Kai.
His words filled the East Supreme Kai with trepidation.
"Old... old sir... may I ask who you are?" Suppressing his inner thoughts, the East Supreme Kai asked cautiously.
How could Kibito dare to even breathe loudly? As a servant of God, even though he wasn't the Supreme Kai, he still felt the divine pressure emanating from this old man.
"It's normal that you don't recognize me. After all, if we're really going to count, I should be the Supreme Kai from Fifteenth Generation ago." The Old Kai said, his hands behind his back, adopting a profound and unfathomable posture.
These words struck like a bolt from the blue, exploding in the minds of the East Supreme Kai and Kibito.
"What?! You... you are the Supreme Kai from Fifteenth Generation ago?! Does that mean... you are my... Old Ancestor?!" The East Supreme Kai gasped.
He had considered that the old man might be his ancestor, but he never expected that he was actually Supreme Kai from Fifteenth Generation ago.
According to seniority, this is not just an ancestor, this is a super, super Old Ancestor! When Kibito heard this news, he was so shocked that he dared not breathe. He was just a servant of the East Supreme Kai, and now that an ancestor Supreme Kai had appeared, it was as if he was nothing.
"To be honest, I always thought that the one who could release me would be an outstanding Supreme Kai, but I never expected that the one who ultimately rescued me would be a mortal from the Mortal Realm." The Old Kai's gaze finally shifted to Talot. After only a few brief glances, a barely perceptible fluctuation appeared in his expression as he nodded repeatedly in satisfaction.
With his keen eye, he had already seen Talot's extraordinary qualities.
He knew that the mortal in front of him was Saiyan, and had already reached the super ape state of atavism.
However, this Super Saiyan Great Ape was much weaker than the one he remembered.
However, it is still very powerful, and there is a very strong potential ability hidden within its body that has not yet been Unearth. Once it is fully Unearth, its strength will increase several times over.
Talot was unaware that the Old Kai had already seen through him.
"You're the owner of that voice from before, right? The Supreme Kai from Fifteenth Generation ago?" Talot met his gaze and asked.
"Well, it's thanks to your high level of cultivation that you were able to hear my voice. Unlike this good-for-nothing brat, I've observed him for millions of years and called out to him for millions of years, but he hasn't responded at all. It's truly disappointing." The Old Kai said, shaking his head helplessly. At the same time, his shrewd eyes swept over the East Supreme Kai.
These words made the East Supreme Kai feel extremely ashamed.
It seems he really hasn't accomplished anything in all these millions of years...
His own ancestor had been calling him, but he knew nothing about it.
Even at the end, I was still thinking about the legend of the Z Sword.
The ashamed East Supreme Kai wished he could disappear into a hole in the ground.
"Alright, kid, I don't mean to blame you entirely. After all, that Grand Supreme Kai died young, and the inheritance you received was incomplete. From now on, I will personally teach you how to become a qualified Supreme Kai." The Old Kai said solemnly.
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the East Supreme Kai showed excitement, his eyes filled with tears.
This scene is just like that between a grandfather and his grandson.
"Then it's your turn." The Old Kai turned his gaze to Talot again, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "You saved me from the Z Sword, so I naturally cannot fail to repay you. I can sense the unfathomable potential within you. Once it is developed, your strength will greatly increase, far surpassing your current level."
As he spoke, Old Kai still displayed a confident demeanor.
Just as he was about to continue, Talot also chimed in, "I know that myself."
After completing the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, not only did his Base Battle Power increase, but his bloodline was also sublimated, and his potential naturally became even deeper.
In addition, the accumulated potential has not been fully developed because of this breakthrough, so the potential accumulated is naturally extraordinary.
"Young man, calm down." The Old Kai was not interrupted by Talot's sudden interruption. The saying "old people are like foxes" is absolutely true, especially for a god like him who has lived for countless billions of years.
Old Kai continued to feign an enigmatic demeanor, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "I can deeply Unearth the potential power within you, allowing your strength to experience an explosive increase. With my development, your strength might truly become the strongest in the Universe."
"So, you mean, you're offering to Potential Development as a reward for rescuing me?" Talot chuckled.
The Old Kai looked at Talot and nodded, saying, "You're a promising young man."
Since things have come to this point, Talot wouldn't refuse.
He was just wondering how to get the Old Kai to help him develop his potential, so it couldn't be better that he offered to do so.
How could I possibly pass up an opportunity to become stronger when I know there are no risks involved?
While the development of potential and the enhancement of strength depend on the individual.
However, in terms of Potential Development alone, the Old Kai's abilities are tens of millions of times stronger than the Namek Grand Elder's development capabilities.
The mysterious Son Gohan is his masterpiece.
Compared to Son Gohan's previous experience of having his Potential Development by the Grand Elder of Namek Planet, this is a huge leap forward.
"Then let's begin. Before Potential Development, we need to make some preparations. By the way, you should also exit this transformation. Not only will it be of no benefit to the upcoming Potential Development, but it will also affect me." Seeing Talot nod in agreement, the Old Kai signaled Talot to exit the transformation state, then mysteriously turned around with his hands behind his back and walked forward.
Without hesitation, Talot withdrew his Super Saiyan 4 power, returned to Base Form, and followed closely behind Old Kai.
Seeing Talot's change and then watching him and Old Kai walk towards the open space ahead, the highly tense East Supreme Kai and Kibito exchanged a glance.
The things that happened today feel like a dream.
The two of them hadn't fully reacted yet.
Led by the Old Kai, the group soon arrived at a flat grassy area.
At the instruction of the Old Kai, Talot stood in the center of the grass, and then the Old Kai gestured for the East Supreme Kai and Kibito to stay to the side and not to approach.
Finally, they performed the bizarre and comical pre-development ritual from the original work.
Simply put, it involves gesticulating wildly like a witch performing a ritual, and then circling around Talot.
If it weren't for the original story, Talot would be ashamed.
I used to feel embarrassed watching cartoons, but now that it's my turn, I feel really awkward.
Fortunately, there were only a few of them here.
"Could I ask how long this ceremony will last?" Talot asked curiously.
According to the original text, the ceremony seemed to last for several hours, followed by sitting motionless for a whole day.
Even Son Gohan, who is usually very good-natured, gets angry and explodes because of this.
"The ceremony will take about five hours, and then we'll need to develop your potential, which will take between one and twenty-four hours, depending on how much potential you actually possess," Old Kai replied as he went.
Upon hearing this, Talot's lips twitched slightly.
As expected, it wasn't that Old Kai did it on purpose in the original story; it was simply that it really took that long.
Talot once speculated that Old Kai might be deliberately stalling for time to provoke Son Gohan and unleash his Son Gohan potential.
Of course, that possibility is very small.
Now I truly understand that Potential Development does indeed require these procedures.
In the blink of an eye, five hours later.
Exhausted and without rest, the Old Kai suddenly stopped the ritual, and then plopped down on the grass, seeing the worried expressions on the faces of the East Supreme Kai and Kibito.
The ceremony is over! East Supreme Kai and Kibito stepped forward, anxiously inquiring about Old Kai's condition.
After receiving a satisfactory answer, he quietly stepped aside and did not speak or disturb them further.
What about Talot?
At this moment, he was in a state of enlightenment.
Because five hours was too long, and Talot knew that the developers wouldn't feel anything during that time, he took the initiative to use his Ki Meditation Method to train.
Hopefully, we can find a breakthrough here, or combine these approaches to achieve better results.
"You truly deserve to be called a powerful being who has reached this level. You are more mature than I imagined, even knowing to cooperate with my rituals for self-cultivation. However, the ability I use is a divine technique. Although you have cultivated pure power to this level, you can never comprehend the power of a god." As the words of the Old Kai resounded, Talot also awoke from his meditation.
Without needing any prompting from the Old Kai, he naturally sat down.
Old Kai chuckled and raised his hands, "Then we shall officially begin. According to my calculations, it will take at least another five hours, so you can continue to cultivate using your own methods."
After saying that, the Old Kai concentrated his mind.
Although Talot didn't feel anything, he did notice something different about the Old Kai.
[I was too confident in myself. In the original story, it took Son Gohan twenty hours to develop his potential, but I only needed five hours...] I was feeling a bit like my mentality was about to explode.
After all, Old Kai said at the beginning that the development time would be about one to twenty-four hours, which means that Son Gohan would have spent almost twenty hours, while his five hours would not even be considered average.
After trying his best to calm his resentment and dispel his anger, Talot finally regained his composure.
Indeed, one must be down-to-earth in everything one does. While talent and potential certainly determine the smoothness of one's cultivation path, strength without experiencing trials and tribulations is not true strength.
To put it more bluntly, since you can't cheat, you should gradually become stronger step by step.
In short, they can't compare to people who use cheat codes.
Perhaps there are even people who are less than him.
Just like Raditz and Selari, maybe even worse than him.
After maintaining a stable mindset, Talot's mental state underwent a breakthrough.
Why compare yourself to others when you're going back to your most basic values? All you need to compare yourself to is your past self.
As for how far he can go in the future, it all depends on his efforts in the present.
With his eyes closed, Talot began his meditation practice once more.
Before he could even begin to cultivate, the Old Kai suddenly transmitted a spiritual message into his mind.
This is a complete cultivation method, seemingly for cultivating the spirit and soul.
Before Talot could be shocked, the Old Kai said, "Your method is not bad, but it is very difficult to make further progress in your spiritual power. If you cultivate the Spirit Tempering Method I gave you, your life level may also be raised to a higher level."
Thank you.
He wanted to say something to express his gratitude to the Old Kai, but in the end, he only uttered these two words.
For him, this was a truly unexpected and delightful surprise.
