Raditz's Transformation

Turles and his group arrived once again at the site where Turles and Broly had previously fought.

Looking at the landscape that had been completely transformed, Paragus and Raditz couldn't help but gasp, exchanging glances with one another.

Raditz felt a sense of panic rising within him, his eyes darting toward Turles every few moments.

He knew that during his previous training sessions with Turles, even when he transformed into a Great Ape, the destruction caused over several days hadn't been nearly as exaggerated as what lay before them now.

However, Raditz had already received word from Karl that this was merely the result of Turles and Broly fighting for just over half an hour. He dared not imagine what level their combat power had reached.

"Even a Super Saiyan couldn't be much more than this, right?" Raditz muttered under his breath, unable to keep his thoughts to himself.

Hearing Raditz's words, Turles shook his head and said, "A Super Saiyan is far beyond this level!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Turles say this, Raditz and Paragus immediately looked at him. The implication of his words seemed to be that Turles had actually seen a Super Saiyan before.

Turles offered no explanation, simply gesturing for Raditz to stand before him.

Seeing the look in Turles's eyes, Raditz couldn't afford to dwell on his confusion about when Turles had encountered a Super Saiyan. He kept shooting pleading looks at Turles, hoping that he might show some mercy and let him off the hook today, but the final result left Raditz disappointed.

"Turles, could you please..." Moving cautiously toward Turles, Raditz tried to make one last desperate attempt.

Ignoring Raditz's reluctance, Turles grabbed him and pulled him over, then made him turn around with his back facing him.

Raditz had no choice but to turn around in despair, mentally preparing himself to transform.

It was the same familiar feeling, the same familiar sensation. Raditz felt a slight prick at the base of his tail, and then power began to surge forth from it. However, this time, he felt as if Turles had done something else as well.

"ROAR!"

Raditz let out an instinctive roar, but he quickly sensed that something was wrong.

Although the energy radiating from his body was growing stronger, his body did not swell up as it had before, nor did he feel the uncontrollable urge for destruction that usually accompanied the Great Ape transformation.

"Huh?" Raditz couldn't help but turn around, looking at Turles in confusion.

He saw Turles watching him with a smile, a hint of surprise in his eyes, while Paragus had already activated his Scouter, his face filled with shock!

Raditz finally realized what was happening: he hadn't transformed into a Great Ape this time, yet power was still surging through his body.

Raditz clenched his fists and finally couldn't help but ask Paragus, "Paragus, what is my current combat power?"

Paragus recovered from his shock, looked at Turles with a complex expression, and replied softly, "55,000!"

"HA!"

Upon hearing Paragus's answer, Raditz burst into laughter.

You have to realize that Vegeta's current combat power hasn't even reached 20,000, while his own was already at 55,000—far surpassing Vegeta. As for the fact that Vegeta could maintain his sanity after transforming, Raditz subconsciously ignored it; after all, it's better for a person to keep a little confidence in themselves!

Turles couldn't stand it anymore. He kicked Raditz flying and said irritably, "Take a look at what you look like right now before you say anything else!"

Even after being kicked away by Turles, Raditz didn't have the slightest complaint this time. He felt that he had reached his peak; even if Turles were to ravage him again, he would be perfectly willing.

Raditz flew above a small lake and saw his reflection on the water's surface. At the very first glance, Raditz was struck by how handsome he looked!

He saw that the Raditz in the lake was no longer his original self. The battle armor on his body had vanished, replaced by fur the same color as his tail. This fur covered Raditz's arms and back, leaving only his strong chest exposed, which gave him a hint of a wild, feral aura.

His waist-length hair seemed to have grown even longer, draped messily behind him. What satisfied Raditz the most were his eyes; his pupils had turned gold, and paired with the brown eyeshadow, Raditz found himself looking better the more he stared.

Indeed, Raditz's current transformation was very similar to the Super Saiyan transformation of Son Goku in GT, with the only difference being the color of the fur on his body. This was also why Turles felt a bit surprised after seeing Raditz transform.

Although Turles had already formed some guesses about the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, he hadn't expected that a transformation involving only the power of the Great Ape would give Raditz changes similar to Super Saiyan 4. Furthermore, it looked indistinguishable from it aside from the color, which proved that Turles's hypothesis was correct.

After waiting for a long time without seeing Raditz return, Turles had no choice but to follow Raditz's ki to find him.

Just as he found Raditz, Turles's expression darkened instantly. His good mood vanished immediately, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch.

Watching Raditz still posing and preening, Turles gave Paragus a look. Paragus, who was curious about Raditz's strength, naturally didn't hold back; he accelerated and dove straight toward Raditz.

At this moment, after training in the Gravity Chamber for some time, Paragus's combat power had reached 45,000. His strength could be said to have doubled. Although it was not as high as Raditz's current combat power of 55,000, Paragus felt no fear.

One must know that Raditz's combat power only reached 55,000 due to the amplification of the Great Ape Power. His base combat power was only 5,500, so after a sudden 10-fold increase, he might not be able to adapt immediately. Besides, Paragus was also annoyed by Raditz's flamboyant movements. Of course, he would never admit that he was a little jealous of Raditz's transformation.

Although Paragus's attack was sudden, Raditz hadn't been training for so long for nothing. Before Paragus even got close, Raditz had a feeling—a mysterious, profound sensation that he had never experienced before.

It's Ki Sensing!

The words Turles had said while training him suddenly surfaced in Raditz's mind.

Realizing that he might have mastered a technique that even Paragus hadn't, Raditz grew excited. Thinking that his combat power was now higher than Paragus's and that he would be able to ravage Paragus next, Raditz, who had always been at the bottom of their four-man team, became even more thrilled.

Raditz suppressed the joy in his heart and continued to pose for the lake, but secretly, he tensed his muscles, preparing to give Paragus a "surprise."

Closer, closer! Raditz sensed Paragus's ki, shouting wildly in his heart.

Suddenly, Raditz spun around violently, his arms directly blocking Paragus's fists. Meeting Paragus's stunned gaze, he smiled smugly, "I've got you!"
