Anomaly

Upon returning to the spaceship, Turles immediately summoned everyone and explained his situation in detail.

After hearing Turles's description, Karl and the others turned serious and began preparing their diagnostic equipment.

However, the behavior of Paragus and Raditz caught Turles's attention. Once Karl and the others had left, Turles called the two of them over. Just moments ago, one had acted completely indifferent, while the other had appeared lost in thought.

"Paragus, Raditz, do you two know something?" Turles asked, voicing his suspicions directly.

Raditz first glanced cautiously at Paragus. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, Raditz explained, "Turles, I remember my father having similar issues when he was young, but nothing ever happened to him afterward. Besides, isn't that just how Saiyans are when it comes to fighting?"

At this point, Raditz nervously looked at Turles again and muttered, "You're so similar to my father, and you have the same face—are you sure you aren't Kakarot?"

Upon hearing this, Turles couldn't help but glare at him. Terrified, Raditz shrank back and immediately hid behind Paragus.

He had hoped the guy would say something useful, but it turned out he was still thinking about being his older brother. What incredible audacity; it looked like he needed some extra training.

However, the fact that Bardock actually had similar issues left Turles deep in thought, forcing him to recall the peculiarities of Bardock from his memories.

In his memories, he recalled a standalone special about Bardock. It seemed that at the moment Planet Vegeta was destroyed, Bardock had traveled through time to the ancient Planet Vegeta. He encountered the indigenous people of the time, the Tuffles, and even received their help. Eventually, during the invasion by Frieza's ancestor, Bardock witnessed the death of his friend and transformed directly into a Golden Warrior—a Super Saiyan—repelling Frieza's ancestor and leaving behind the legend of the Super Saiyan among the Frieza clan.

Could I really be related to Bardock? Turles couldn't help but wonder to himself.

"Stop thinking about it. This is just a normal phenomenon for Saiyans; it has absolutely nothing to do with Bardock!" Paragus said suddenly.

"???" Turles and Raditz looked at Paragus.

"Before the age of 15, most Saiyans maintain a youthful form. During this period, although their size and appearance don't change, their body cells are still developing and become exceptionally active. This manifests as becoming more bellicose, and their emotions become abnormally agitated during combat."

"Some Saiyans with the potential of an Elite Warrior learn to control this agitation, but most cannot, especially the Lower-Class Warriors. This is the period with the highest mortality rate for young Saiyans. You have to realize that once those young Saiyans who can't control this agitation start fighting, they don't care at all whether their enemy is powerful or not."

"However, after the age of 15, Saiyans grow rapidly over three years, and their cells gradually become dormant. Coupled with sexual maturity, this agitated state slowly disappears. But the bellicose personality accumulated during the youth period stays with a Saiyan for life; this is the origin of the Saiyans as a warrior race."

"But there is a small portion of Saiyans who develop later. Although they are affected by the general Saiyan nature during their youth, their temperament is relatively more peaceful until their cells begin to become active after the age of 18."

"However, because the Saiyan's personality has already matured rapidly by the time they enter puberty, they can better control the emotional agitation brought on by cellular activity. Therefore, if they undergo a large amount of appropriate combat at this time, their own combat power will also be significantly improved."

"I remember Bardock was in this situation. Otherwise, why do you think that out of so many Lower-Class Warriors, only Bardock appeared as a Saiyan who constantly broke through his physical potential?"

"I didn't expect you to have the same situation as Bardock. It seems you will be the next Bardock—no, you should be even stronger than him!"

By the end, a hint of envy couldn't help but show on Paragus's face.

"How come I didn't know about this?" Raditz, hearing these secrets for the first time, looked confused.

Glancing at Raditz with disdain, Paragus continued, "As for you and Bardock looking similar, that's nothing strange. After all, you both come from Lower-Class Warrior stock, and there are many similarities in the genes of Lower-Class Saiyans. It's not strange at all for one or two people to look alike."

Turles nodded after hearing this, but immediately asked, "If that's the case, then it's impossible for the combat power of those Elite Warriors to be inferior to Bardock. You also said that some Elite Warriors can control this agitation, so as long as they make good use of this period, their combat power shouldn't be too bad!"

Hearing Turles ask this, a smile that could have been mockery or envy appeared on Paragus's face. "Elite Warriors? Hah! How could those people ever compare to Bardock? After all, they are the nobility of the Saiyans!"

Having said that, he didn't care if Turles wanted to continue questioning him and simply walked away.

Turles heard this and fell into deep thought.

"Turles, what do you think that old guy meant? Is he looking down on us?" Raditz snapped back to reality, feeling a bit dissatisfied, and complained to Turles.

Glancing at the oblivious Raditz, Turles said, "He doesn't look down on us; he simply looks down on you."

"What? What right does he have to look down on me? Just because he's a bit stronger than me? But he's old, who knows how much longer he has to live? Don't they say, 'Don't bully the young because they are poor'?" Raditz said indignantly.

Hearing the meme from his previous life spill out of Raditz's mouth, a few black lines couldn't help but appear on Turles's forehead. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but clench his fists. In the end, he still explained, "Don't you know? When Paragus was on Planet Vegeta, he participated in those biological studies. And what do you think those 18 years he spent on Planet Vampa were like?"

Patting Raditz on the shoulder, Turles walked straight toward the examination room, leaving Raditz standing there, dazed and shocked.

Examination Room.

Turles lay shirtless on the experimental table, his body covered in various electrode pads connected to a variety of electronic instruments.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

"Didi, didi!"

The sounds of electronic instruments rang out incessantly. Karl and several members of the Kabru Race stared intently at the various data on the instruments.

"Everything looks normal!"

"Yes, but these cells are overly active, and the heart rate is a bit too fast!"

"What about the brain waves?"

"Normal!"

After discussing for a long time, they still couldn't find the source of the problem, and Karl and his team couldn't help but look at each other in dismay!

"My lord, you can get up now!" Karl walked up to Turles, helping to remove the electrode pads from his body while assisting him to sit up.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Turles asked as he put on his clothes.

"My lord, I am very sorry. Aside from the cells being quite active, everything else is normal," Karl said with an apologetic look.

"Is that so?" Turles fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

It seemed that the situation was the same as what Paragus had described, but Turles always felt that something was wrong.

This abnormally excited and uncontrollable state of the Saiyans was too similar to the Great Ape Transformation. However, this state of excitement only existed during the adolescent period and would gradually disappear upon reaching maturity, whereas the Great Ape Transformation was a transformation ability that Saiyans could use throughout their entire lives.

Furthermore, the manifestations of the two were different. This state of excitement seemed to only affect the growth of the Saiyans and had a negligible increase in strength, while the Great Ape Transformation could increase a Saiyan's combat power by tenfold.

However, after the Great Ape Transformation, ordinary Saiyans cannot suppress their violent urge to destroy, turning directly into mindless beasts. A portion of Elite Warriors, however, can tame this urge and maintain their sanity, much like Vegeta. This overlaps somewhat with what Paragus said, and Turles did not believe this was merely a coincidence.

Thinking of this, Turles could not help but flick the tail at his waist.

Come to think of it, ever since he transmigrated into the body of a Saiyan, Turles had subconsciously ignored this tail. After all, in his previous life, he did not have such a thick, stiff thing behind him.

Moreover, Turles had not encountered a single full moon until now, so he had not undergone the Great Ape Transformation. He was unsure whether he would lose his sanity after transforming.

According to Paragus, he was now able to suppress his heightened emotions during battle. Based on his own hypothesis, it was possible for him to maintain his sanity while in the Great Ape Transformation. Furthermore, the countless mental simulation training sessions had also strengthened Turles's mind.

If that were truly the case, with his current combat power of over 80,000, the 10-fold multiplier from the Great Ape Transformation would allow him to reach a combat power of over 800,000.

Over 800,000 in combat power—even with Turles's usual composure, he could not help but feel the urge to go and test it out immediately.

Turles managed to suppress the impulse in his heart with great difficulty.

If he were to experiment, he could do it on the planet Bels had promised. There were still too many people on Obsidian Planet; if he were noticed, there was no guarantee it wouldn't attract some hidden powerhouse.

Besides, this was only one battle today. He was not sure if this was just an isolated case or if it was truly as Paragus had described.

"So, I need to fight, to fight incessantly!"

Turles looked toward the direction of the arena and muttered to himself.
