King Vegeta's Ambition Was Plain to See
Late at night.
Talot had already returned home and lay on his bed, continuing to ponder life.
He had gained quite a lot from his battle with Raditz.
Although there had been a few minor incidents, they were not truly important.
Thinking back on what Bardock had said to him and Raditz, Talot deeply understood that while he could fight above his level and make himself difficult for Raditz to handle, it was ultimately just a clever trick.
If they fought again, Raditz would certainly find his weakness quickly.
Unless he improved his tactics again, Raditz would defeat him even faster and use even less strength.
All in all, he had far too much room for improvement. He would also have to gradually accumulate combat experience himself in the future, finding breakthroughs through practice.
What Talot had not expected was that Bardock would say he would guide him and Raditz in combat techniques over the next few days.
That would have been impossible before.
Even though Raditz had asked Bardock in the past, Bardock had always refused.
Now that he had suddenly offered on his own initiative, Talot felt even more certain that Bardock knew a great storm was coming. That was why he had so decisively chosen to teach them during this time, so they would have a greater ability to protect themselves.
He had even included Selari.
"We grew up together, sure, but Bardock's being way too direct... Does he really think I'd fall for this little girl?
"Selari is pretty, but she's a bit too strong-willed. Besides, I'm not interested in little girls."
Talot felt like laughing and crying at the same time.
Anyone with eyes could probably tell that Selari liked him.
To be honest, Talot had considered this issue more than once.
He did not want to leave behind too many emotional ties, nor did he want to become entangled with too many people.
Because Talot knew he could not save many people.
These past few days, it was not as though he had not thought about the little girl. But he was not even sure whether his plan would work, so there was no use thinking too much.
"While Bardock is guiding our training these next few days, I need to start putting my plan into action step by step." After saying that, Talot meditated for a while longer before falling into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Talot got up full of energy. After washing up, he headed outside, where Selari was already waiting for him.
Bardock's promise the previous night to guide them seemed to have made her very excited.
After all, among all Low-Class Warriors, Bardock held an extremely high status, and his strength spoke for itself.
Selari also had the determination to grow stronger. Among Low-Class Warriors her age, she could be considered outstanding.
As a woman, she could have easily taken on logistical work as a support-type Saiyan.
But her competitive nature refused to allow it! That was also why Talot felt she was so strong-willed.
Of course, that might have had something to do with her parents' unfortunate deaths while carrying out a mission last year.
Before long, Raditz also came out of the house. He had clearly just woken up and still looked half-asleep.
The three greeted each other. Naturally, Raditz and Selari did not have much to say to one another.
When the three entered the house, Gine had already prepared plenty of food.
Saiyans had enormous appetites and had to eat large amounts of food at nearly every meal.
After breakfast, Bardock led the three of them to a small mountain outside the city.
"Raditz and I have to go to the Royal Palace in two hours, so we do not have much time today. I can only teach you some simple methods of controlling your strength and breathing techniques..."
As Bardock spoke, he entered his distinctive teaching mode.
It had to be said, it was effective.
But over the full two hours, he only explained some basic techniques for controlling strength and moving the body, along with breathing rhythms during physical movement.
To Raditz and Selari, it was undoubtedly a priceless treasure.
But for Talot, who had already cultivated his ki to a certain level, even that brief amount of time was enough for him to fully grasp it.
That was why the original work placed so much importance on one's realm in Ki Cultivation. Once one's cultivation in this area reached a certain level, learning anything else would also speed up.
Although, by the era of Dragon Ball Super, methods of cultivating God Power had completely overshadowed methods of Ki Cultivation, it had to be said that Ki Cultivation would never become outdated. As long as one reached a sufficiently high realm, it might not even be inferior to methods of cultivating God Power.
After seeing Bardock and Raditz off, Talot and Selari did not head back. Instead, they stayed and continued training.
Then Talot ended up teaching Selari.
It was absurd, but that was how it went. Talot had grasped it easily, while Selari was fumbling around without understanding the essentials, and Talot truly could not stand watching any longer.
With Talot's help, Selari finally gained a basic grasp of what Bardock had taught.
Talot would not know that it was sometimes these deliberate or unintentional actions of his that captured the young girl's heart.
Royal City.
Royal Palace.
After parting ways with Raditz, Bardock went alone to have an audience with King Vegeta.
No one knew the specific contents of this meeting except King Vegeta and Bardock.
Although Bardock was a Low-Class Warrior, King Vegeta still gave him sufficient respect and attention.
Only after discussing several insignificant topics did they turn to the Frieza Force and Bardock's experience during his mission to Cyril Star.
Bardock did not hide much from King Vegeta and showed his loyalty.
After learning the details, King Vegeta was furious, yet helpless.
In the end, he could only suppress his anger for the time being before arranging Bardock's next mission.
"This time, on Planet Kanassa, you must pay close attention to why Frieza is so eager to acquire that planet.
"We Saiyans will never remain Frieza's subordinates forever! We have fought for him continuously all these years, only to receive one scheme after another in return!
"Bardock, once you carry out this mission, I will secretly gather all Elite Warriors and Elite Warriors! Once you occupy Planet Kanassa, I will also give Frieza a grand gift."
King Vegeta's ambition was plain to see.
He had long coveted the throne of the Universe Emperor.
"Yes, King Vegeta! In half a month... no! I will set out in ten days and take Planet Kanassa at the fastest possible speed," Bardock promised.
King Vegeta nodded with great authority, then said, "Do not worry about your son. I have arranged everything. In a week, I intend to have Vegeta lead a squad to invade Planet Rump. Your son will receive the best protection."
"Planet Rump? Understood," Bardock replied with a nod, neither stopping him nor objecting.
King Vegeta saw through Bardock's thoughts, but he did not wish to continue wasting words. "If there is nothing else, you may withdraw. Use this time to spend properly with your children and wife. I heard your younger son only has a Battle Power of 2, so do not take it too much to heart."
King Vegeta still had some skill in balancing favors and intimidation.
"Yes! I take my leave." Bardock did not linger. After bowing, he turned and left the Royal Palace's main hall.
