After equipping the [Flight] skill, Soro felt that his speed was hardly any different from before. He was only a tiny bit faster.
Last month's [Enhanced Flight] skill had been pretty good.
His flying speed had increased by at least twofold.
The problem was... with a Combat Power of only 1,000, even doubling his speed didn't make much of a difference.
And the [Tailoring] and [Bandaging] skills... were even more ridiculous than [Flight].
I'm a Saiyan, and you're giving me the [Tailoring] skill?
The only skill that really interested Soro was [Cooking].
For that, Soro had even prepared a lavish feast and shouted Whis's name, hoping to draw him over.
If he could go with Whis to Beerus's planet to train, he'd be taking a shortcut through life.
Who knew, he might even unlock Super Saiyan God right away.
But things didn't go as he'd hoped.
Whis never came!
In the tenth month, Soro got the [Enhanced Cooking] skill and prepared another huge feast.
Whis still didn't come.
Was the food made with this skill not tasty enough, or had Whis simply not heard him?
But the food cooked with the enhanced cooking skill really was much tastier than what he'd made the last time.
It was even a little better than the dishes made by this planet's imperial chef.
In the final month, Soro got the [X-Ray Vision] skill. With nothing better to do, he spent plenty of time teasing the pretty girls around him.
But after using the skill so much, it started to feel rather dull.
Besides, Soro had no shortage of beautiful women around him.
And these skills refreshed every week. Once they did, the previous skill disappeared.
A skill that couldn't be kept was no use at all.
Even if he got a skill that increased his Combat Power by 5,000 times, it would be gone the next month. What was there to get excited about?
By his reckoning, today was the start of a new month. What skill would he get this time?
There was less than a minute left until noon.
Anticipation was written all over Soro's face.
Noon arrived in no time.
Soro suddenly felt invigorated, his drowsiness vanishing instantly.
Skill refreshed!
[Combat Power x50]
Fifty times his Combat Power!
Wasn't that the same multiplier as going Super Saiyan?
Wahahaha!
My Combat Power is 1,000 right now!
If it goes up fiftyfold, won't that make it 50,000?
Well, it's a bit low, but it's enough to pin Vegeta down and rub his face in the dirt!
"Is my Combat Power 50,000 now?" Soro murmured to himself.
The next moment, Soro suddenly glared at a rock garden in the distance.
BOOM!
With a deafening crash, the ten-meter-tall rock garden was blown to smithereens.
The two young beauties were scared out of their wits and hurriedly threw themselves into Soro's arms.
Soro's eyes widened as he stared blankly at the shattered rock garden, his face full of astonishment.
That was the power he'd unleashed with just a glare!
If he put his full strength into a single attack...
He might even destroy the entire planet!
He had to remember, before this, his Combat Power of 1,000 hadn't even been enough to destroy this planet.
At most, he could destroy a planet about the size of the moon.
Of course, Soro wasn't about to destroy a planet for no reason.
Now that Soro had the [Combat Power x50] skill, he felt like he could finally take off.
If he went to Earth and settled the score with that guy Vegeta, that would be a pretty good idea!
Just as Soro was thinking this, he suddenly noticed two circular slots in the lower right of his field of vision.
The two slots were translucent and didn't obstruct his view at all.
The [Combat Power x50] skill was in one of them, with a label above it that read "Passive Skill."
Its icon was circular, much like the appearance of a skill icon in a video game.
The other slot was empty.
Besides that, all the skills he'd previously rolled—[Fishing], [Cooking], [Flight], [Fireball], [Flash Technique], [Dancing], [Water Manipulation], [Tailoring], [Bandaging], [Enhanced Cooking], [Enhanced Flight], and [X-Ray Vision]—had turned into skill icons.
The skill icons drifted randomly through the air.
Soro rubbed his chin, then selected the [Flash Technique] skill and placed it in the transparent slot.
Pop!
[Flash Technique] fit snugly into the slot, and the words "Active Skill" helpfully appeared above it.
Soro didn't hesitate. He activated the [Flash Technique] skill with a thought.
"That was so scary just now... Lord Soro, do my eyes look pretty? I got colored contacts done just the way you told me today."
"Mine too, mine too! I got colored contacts, too!"
The two exotic beauties bounced around beside Soro as they spoke.
Just then, a dazzling light suddenly burst from Soro.
"Ah... my eyes!"
The two beauties cried out in alarm and hurriedly covered their eyes.
Soro: "..."
Soro was at a loss for words.
Why did you have to ask me to look at your eyes right then?
I really didn't do it on purpose...
Soro had used the [Flash Technique] skill before. It felt a lot like the Solar Flare.
Moreover, [Flash Technique] was more convenient than the Solar Flare.
The Solar Flare required the sun.
But [Flash Technique] could shine even at night.
The skill activated instantly, had no cooldown, and could be used without limit.
In other words, Soro could use this skill to light up the entire night.
That month, Soro had spent a long time acting as a beacon in the dark, and he'd even thoughtfully provided lighting for the women's bathhouse.
That was why Soro had chosen to keep this skill in the slot without hesitation.
And with this skill, even if he couldn't beat someone, he could still use it to make a getaway.
It was a miraculous skill, just like the Solar Flare!
Cell had used the Solar Flare at least twice when he was trying to absorb the androids.
The moment Soro placed the [Flash Technique] skill in the slot, the other skills instantly turned into specks of starlight and vanished.
Looks like after a year, I can use two skills.
One is [Flash Technique], and the other is [Combat Power x50].
Soro was delighted.
Maybe if he rolled skills for another year, he'd get a few more skill slots?
Three days later.
Soro had gradually gotten used to the special power that came with a Combat Power of 50,000.
No wonder his Combat Power was 50,000!
It felt like the energy he'd trained with before had been far too weak.
His power had just increased fiftyfold in one go!
When he went to Earth, he'd have Bulma make him a gravity training device, no matter what.
Soro had just finished training for the day when he suddenly glanced up and spotted a fireball streaking across the distant sky.
That was... a spaceship?
