A Long-Awaited Challenge

"Thank you, Grand Elder."

Even the most aloof young Piccolo was moved by the Grand Elder's sacrifices.

Of course, the most crucial factor was the sense of closeness the Grand Elder gave him, which unconsciously instilled respect for him in his heart.

The Grand Elder patted Piccolo's head again, then looked at Talot.

"You can rest assured that Piccolo will stay on Namek Planet. I will take good care of him." The Grand Elder seemed to be able to see through people's thoughts.

Talot nodded slightly. Regardless of what the Grand Elder thought, the matter of Piccolo was now settled.

"I'm naturally at ease leaving Piccolo in your care, but putting that aside, your current condition is not optimistic," Talot said, getting straight to the point.

Lagar and Nail, standing to the side, both wore serious expressions.

As the children of the Grand Elder, they naturally had a sense of it.

Only young Piccolo remained unaware, simply watching silently.

"Everyone has their own destiny. My lifespan is already limited. It would be good if I could shine a little in my final days to guide future generations." The Grand Elder's state of mind was something Talot could never match.

Talot nodded, as if acknowledging the Grand Elder, and then took out two Tree of Might from his personal space.

Since I got it, there are only three left.

Talot had been keeping it unused, just in case, but he suddenly thought of the Grand Elder and decided to give it to him.

This is as a way of thanking him for his past help, and also to allow him to live a little longer.

The Grand Elder was utterly shocked by the Tree of Might.

Although he was not a god, his realm was extremely high, and he could sense the incredibly rich life force contained within the fruit.

He wanted to refuse, but Talot forced him to give it to him.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the others, the Grand Elder ate the Tree of Might. With the support of its powerful vitality, he not only became much younger, but also recovered to the state he was in decades ago.

Even though decades may not seem like much to Namekian, it is still decades.

Not long after.

Outside the Great Round House.

The Grand Elder managed to get outside and breathe in the fresh air.

This was already a luxury for him, and he never imagined that he would be able to overcome it on his own.

He thanked Talot, but there was no need to say more thanks at this point; it would only seem contrived.

Lagar and Nail were overjoyed at the Grand Elder's recovery, their faces beaming with happiness.

The Grand Elder is the root of all Namekian. Now that death has been delayed and some youth has been restored, Talot has once again become a great benefactor to their people.

As for Lagar and Nail's gratitude, Talot indicated that they didn't need to take it too seriously, as it was just a small favor.

If it weren't for his limited abilities, he really would have liked to help the Grand Elder become several hundred years younger.

"Speaking of which, Namek Planet has changed quite a bit over the years. When I last came here, this land was very barren, and there weren't many plants or animals to be seen." Talot said, changing the subject.

Everyone has had a lot of experiences over the years.

Time really can change everything.

"Yes, we also owe it to you. If it weren't for your help, and the many plants and crops you brought back, Namek wouldn't have been able to recover so quickly." Lagar stood beside Talot, gazing at the land with Talot.

The scene is harmonious, recalling the first time we met, so much time has passed.

"Although it may seem abrupt and presumptuous of me to say this, could you please have another match with me, Talot?" Suddenly, Lagar challenged him.

Talot was slightly surprised by these words.

Unexpectedly, Lagar would take the initiative to challenge him.

Without much hesitation, Talot's lips twitched slightly, revealing an expectant smile, "Alright, but this isn't like you, Lagar. You used to do whatever you wanted. Are you afraid I won't accept it?"

This teasing made Lagar blush, and just as he was about to retort, Nail stepped forward.

"Lagar, let me go first. I've always wanted to spar with Brother Talot." Nail's sincere words earned him a look of appreciation from Talot.

Although Nail doesn't look as mature as he did in the original story, he is still a young man and is even stronger.

He wants to fight, Talot won't refuse to strike him.

That's perfect, let's treat it as instructing the younger generation.

Lagar was very proud of Nail's bravery and said to Talot, "Although Nail is still young, he is much stronger than we were back then."

He said this because he was afraid Talot wouldn't accept it.

"Then come on, perfect timing. I haven't been this excited in a long time, seeing how much you've grown over the years," Talot said with a smile.

Having reached a consensus, the three looked at each other and smiled.

This scene was witnessed by the Grand Elder and young Piccolo, who were not far away.

The Grand Elder smiled with satisfaction, while young Piccolo tried his best to remain calm, as he still had many questions.

"This is going to be interesting. As a combat-type Namekian, you have a long way to go," the Grand Elder said to the boy Piccolo beside him.

Upon hearing this, young Piccolo nodded silently.

They arrived at an open, flat area about a mile away from the Grand Elder Great Round House.

Talot and Nail stood facing each other.

Lagar naturally acted as a guard, protecting the Grand Elder and observing the upcoming duel.

For him, the fact that Nail and Talot fought first was a good opportunity for him to gain experience. He hadn't fought Talot for many years, so he was quite unfamiliar with Talot's fighting style.

"Come on, Nail, show me everything you have," Talot said with a smile.

Nail nodded without saying anything.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he continuously gathered his own energy.

When facing Talot, Nail dared not hide anything.

"Drink!!!" With a loud shout, Nail's fierce aura erupted, sweeping across the area like a storm.

A deathly white aura, centered on Nail, shot straight into the sky.

'Boom! B ...

With fluctuating air pressure and raging storms, Nail's Battle Power index is increasing at an alarming rate.

Talot has already put on the Virtual Glasses and has seen Nail's Battle Power index.

A full 5 million points.

Nail's burst of energy reached its peak before his aura rapidly receded, and his entire being underwent a qualitative change.

"That's amazing! I didn't expect your Battle Power to exceed 5 million points in just a few years," Talot said with a look of surprise.

Compared to Nail's 42,000 Battle Power in the original work, the current Nail is more than a hundred times stronger! "Where? My strength is nothing compared to yours." Nail knew Talot's strength well, and he dared not say how powerful he was now.

"Don't underestimate yourself. At least most people can't do what you do," Talot praised, but his expression immediately changed.

He beckoned to Nail with his index finger, signaling that Nail could attack.

"Here I come, Brother Talot!" With another shout, Nail took the lead, transforming into a cannonball and rushing towards Talot with lightning speed.

With a clenched right fist, he unleashed Super Heavy Punch aimed at Talot's face.

'Pound!!!!'

An incredibly powerful tremor reverberated through the space, and gusts of storm swept outwards, impacting all directions.

Nail's Super Heavy Punch, which concentrated all his strength, was easily blocked by Talot's right index finger, and all of its power was neutralized.

When Lagar, who was watching from the sidelines, saw this scene, he wore a solemn expression.

Nail's all-out attack, which even he would have needed one hand to block, was easily neutralized by Talot with just one finger.

It's unimaginable just how powerful Talot has become.

Not only him, but even the Grand Elder found it unbelievable; Talot was indeed ridiculously strong.

Young Piccolo was completely dumbfounded.

"Your momentum is good, but your control over your power is still a bit lacking. If you could compress all your power and concentrate it on one point, your attack power would increase to another level," Talot said slowly after sensing Nail's attack.

Upon hearing this, Nail kept Talot's words in mind.

"I've learned a lot, Brother Talot. Now... I'll continue!!" With that, Nail launched another attack.

This time, his offensive was even more ferocious and terrifying.

'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...' Nail's attacks erupted like a rain of pear blossoms, his powerful offensive relentless. After receiving guidance from Talot, he compressed all his strength as much as possible for a burst of power in an instant.

The destructive power of the attack has indeed been increased, and its explosive power is much stronger than before.

As expected of a natural- Namekian fighter, his combat talent is extraordinary, and he is in no way inferior to the Saiyan.

However, this level of power is far from enough to shake him.

Talot's current Base Battle Power alone is as high as 100 million.

He is 100 times stronger than Nail, whose strength is only 5 million points.

With such a huge difference in strength, even if Talot used a single finger to deal with Nail, the invisible aura emanating from his entire body could easily block all of Nail's attacks.

The battle intensified, Nail's incredibly fierce fists became increasingly terrifying, yet it still couldn't escape being easily neutralized by Talot's index finger.

When hand-to-hand combat proved ineffective, Nail quickly adjusted his strategy, shifting his fighting tactics and channeling all his energy into his fists, unleashing devastating punches.

'Boom!' The moment the powerful punch, carrying boundless energy, struck Talot's index finger.

A violent energy explosion generated a shockwave that sent sand waves hundreds of meters high into the air.

The explosive power of this attack was indiscriminate, affecting both friend and foe; Nail's attack even backfired on him.

Talot was also caught off guard by the sudden Big Bang Attack and was thrown back dozens of meters away by the aftershocks.

"It worked!" Nail was overjoyed to see that his attack could shake Talot.

He endured the pain in his body, stood up, unleashed his power once more, and charged straight towards Talot.

"That kind of self-destructive attack might have unexpected effects against opponents slightly stronger than yourself, but it's far from enough to deal with me." Talot steadied himself, locked his eyes on the oncoming Nail, and thrust his right index finger forward.

At this moment, Nail had already sprinted up to Talot.

His fist contained even more astonishingly powerful energy than before, unleashing an unstoppable and forceful blow.

'Boom!' This time the explosion was significantly more powerful, even creating a sonic boom in space.

Surprisingly, Talot, who was directly hit by the explosive attack, was not blasted away, but Nail was blasted more than 100 meters away.

"Nail, you have too little combat experience. How could the same attack possibly have a secondary effect on an opponent of this level?" Lagar, who was observing from the sidelines of the battlefield, muttered to himself with a serious expression.

As the strongest Namekian fighter currently, his insight far surpasses that of other strong individuals of the same level, and he saw the problem at a glance.

The instant Nail's fist touched the tip of Talot's index finger, the impact of the energy explosion was deflected back by Talot.

The attack, which was equivalent to Nail's, not only failed to work on Talot, but all its power was reflected back at him.

Beside him, the boy Piccolo stared blankly at the battle in front of him.

From the start of the battle until now, he couldn't even see what was actually happening.

But one thing he was certain of was that even someone as powerful as Nail could be easily toyed with by Talot using a single finger.

The Grand Elder looked at the young Piccolo, then at Lagar, and then at Nail was fighting.

It was expected that Nail would be easily suppressed and defeated by Talot.

After all, Talot was so powerful back then that he was far beyond what the current Nail could handle.

However, even though Nail was defeated, this battle was a huge opportunity for Nail.

Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry is qualified to fight Talot.

After this battle, Nail will surely gain some insights, and he will be able to go further in the future.

In fact, the reason why Lagar and Nail have gotten to where they are today is entirely due to the stimulation from Talot.

Although he had the help of the Grand Elder, he had seen the efforts that Lagar and Nail had made.

Nail, who had been blown away, shakily regained his footing, looking completely bewildered.

"All the power of my attack was reflected back. What kind of move is this...?" Nail was shocked when he came to his senses. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to understand what was going on.

His gaze toward Talot held a newfound respect; that single move, the full counterattack, was enough for him to study for a long time.

"Drink!!" Quickly adjusting his state, Nail burst out with a loud shout, white aura surging from his body, his momentum increasing rather than decreasing.

Energy gathered in his hands, and as Nail thrust his hands forward rapidly, powerful energy surged from his palms like a torrent, heading straight for Talot.

Seeing the raging energy rushing towards him, Talot did not dodge, but pointed his right index finger forward again.

The next second, the energy around him transformed into a sharp beam of light that shot forward.
