Xiao Ling Awakens, Obtains Super Bloodline

After returning to the Turtle Hermit's House, Zhou Zilong rested for a day before he and Master Roshi began their training once more. This time, Master Roshi did not merely assign basic drills; alongside the fundamentals, he began to impart various combat techniques to Zhou Zilong.

One morning after a period of training, Master Roshi slowly emerged from the house, leaning on his cane with a warm smile on his face. He looked at Zhou Zilong, his eyes shimmering with satisfaction.

"Zilong, you have been training with me for eight months now. Your master has taught you everything he can; it is time for you to go out and gain some experience on your own," Master Roshi said in a calm tone.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zilong felt a pang of reluctance, but it was overshadowed by his anticipation and longing for the unknown world. He bowed deeply and said respectfully, "Master, thank you for teaching me everything you know during this time. After I leave, please take good care of your health!"

Master Roshi laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry, this old man is in great shape. Living another hundred or two hundred years won't be a problem. As you go out to train, always remember that the path of martial arts is long and arduous, but as long as you keep a firm heart, nothing can stop your progress!"

Zhou Zilong nodded heavily, engraving his master's teachings into his heart. After leaving some items for Master Roshi, Zhou Zilong set off and departed from the Turtle Hermit's House.

After leaving the island, Zhou Zilong first arrived at a bustling urban area nearby. The shops lining the streets were dazzling, and the cries of vendors rose one after another in a lively scene. He wove through the crowd, his gaze sweeping over various stalls as he searched for the fresh, live fish he needed for his journey.

After some careful selection, Zhou Zilong purchased many fresh river and sea fish.

Upon arriving at his laboratory, Zhou Zilong placed the fish he had bought into specially made containers one by one. Using the technology he had learned from Dr. Brief, he converted these fish into capsule items. These capsules not only preserved the freshness of the fish but also made them convenient to carry and store.

With everything prepared, Zhou Zilong intended to head toward Korin Tower, hoping to make contact with Korin before proceeding to Kami's Lookout above, thus completing a stage of training early in the Dragon Ball timeline.

However, just as he was about to set off, the long-absent and lively voice of Xiao Ling echoed in his mind.

"Zilong, long time no see! My update is complete!" Xiao Ling's voice carried a hint of pride.

Zhou Zilong smiled slightly and replied, "Xiao Ling, long time no see. You've finally finished updating!"

"Yes, Zilong. I must also remind you that although your current strength has increased significantly, it is still not enough. This world is full of unknowns and dangers; you need to work even harder to improve yourself," Xiao Ling's tone revealed a hint of seriousness.

Zhou Zilong nodded and said, "I understand, I will work even harder!"

"Zilong, I have brought you a surprise with this update," Xiao Ling said mysteriously.

"What surprise?" Zhou Zilong asked curiously.

"After this update, I have cancelled the remaining two marrow-cleansing opportunities and merged them into one. However, this cleansing will bring you unprecedented changes. At the same time, I have opened a System Mall for you, where you can use currency from the Dragon Ball World to exchange for special items," Xiao Ling explained.

Zhou Zilong couldn't help but feel excited, and he immediately asked, "What kind of things are in the mall?"

Xiao Ling immediately opened a panel for Zhou Zilong, which was filled with the exchange prices for various items and books. Zhou Zilong browsed through it carefully and found many things that interested him.

"Help me purchase three Senzu Bean Trees, one Alternate Dimension Globe, and one Deformable Storage Device first," Zhou Zilong said after a moment of thought.

"Understood, the purchase is successful. You can now view and use them in the System Space at any time," Xiao Ling replied.

After speaking, Zhou Zilong first took out a room converted from a capsule. Once he reached the bathroom inside, he said, "Xiao Ling, start that final marrow-cleansing!"

"Understood, Zilong. This cleansing will be the most important turning point in your life; you must hold on," Xiao Ling's voice was gentle yet firm.

Zhou Zilong took a deep breath and placed the golden marrow-cleansing pill into his mouth. As the pill went down his throat, a warm current surged through his entire body. Every one of his cells seemed to be activated, emitting a joyful song.

The process of marrow-cleansing was painful and long, but Zhou Zilong did not retreat. He gritted his teeth, endured the intense pain in his body, and silently recited, "To become stronger, to protect, I must persist!"

As the cleansing deepened, Zhou Zilong's body underwent astonishing changes. His muscles became more robust and powerful, and his skin took on a healthy bronze tone. More importantly, his height grew by several centimeters without him realizing it, reaching an astonishing 1.89 meters (originally 1.81 meters; of course, the readers are still the tallest, most handsome, and beautiful).

What surprised Zhou Zilong the most was that a brown-black tail had grown from his coccyx. This tail was about 85 centimeters long and looked both mysterious and powerful. He gently stroked the tail, his heart filled with anticipation for the future.

"Is this a Saiyan's tail?" Zhou Zilong muttered to himself. He knew this was the symbol of the Saiyans in Universe 7 of the Dragon Ball World. Saiyans were one of the most powerful races in the universe, possessing strength and potential that surpassed ordinary people.

"That's right, Zilong. You have successfully obtained the bloodline and potential of a Saiyan," Xiao Ling's voice echoed in Zhou Zilong's mind. "Moreover, your potential level has reached the Super God level, an unprecedented height. Do you like this surprise?"

Zhou Zilong felt a surge of excitement. He knew he was no longer an ordinary person; he possessed the power to change his own destiny and that of this world.

He couldn't wait to check his attribute panel.

Zhou Zilong:

[Race] Saiyan

[Height] 1.89m

[Weight] 87kg

[Potential Level] Super God-level Potential

[Potential Value] Infinite (Level 1 - Infinite)

[Combat Power] 500,000 (Includes transformation; currently no transformation state)

Looking at the data on the panel, Zhou Zilong felt a sense of shock. A combat power of 500,000, while not top-tier in the grand scheme, was considered peak level on this current timeline—and that was not even accounting for his infinite potential waiting to be tapped.

"Of course I like it!" Zhou Zilong responded excitedly. "But Xiao Ling, which type of Saiyan bloodline did I obtain?"

Xiao Ling smiled slightly and explained, "Saiyan bloodlines are generally divided into two types. One is the Super Saiyan bloodline; after the S-cells in the body reach a certain quantity, one can transform into a Super Saiyan under conditions of extreme rage. The other is the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline, which evolves from the Super Saiyan bloodline by incorporating rage-fury cells. Zilong, you have obtained a modified Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline. However, where there is good, there is evil; under special circumstances, another branch of Saiyans can be born. If a newborn Saiyan has cells containing very dense evil energy, this kind of Saiyan is called an Evil Saiyan (Everyone has their own Hamlet in their heart; this is the author's own setting, and I hope readers understand)!"

Zhou Zilong was shocked to hear this; he hadn't expected to possess such a powerful bloodline. He asked curiously, "What are the differences between this modified variant Super Saiyan bloodline and the original one?"

Xiao Ling answered patiently, "The modified variant Super Saiyan bloodline will not cause you to lose your sanity due to an excess of rage-fury cells, and the combat power bonus after Great Ape transformation is 20 times. Furthermore, your transformation combat power multiplier is much higher than the original Super Saiyan transformation. Your multiplier for Super Saiyan Grade 1 is 100 times your base state. Originally, this variant bloodline would increase combat power year by year even without training, but for your specific variant, the growth without training is not as high—you will only gain about 100,000 combat power per year (the original text setting was 100 million)."

Zhou Zilong nodded, indicating he understood. He knew well that power could not be achieved overnight and required constant training and battle to improve. He said firmly, "That's fine, I'll just work hard to improve my strength!"

Xiao Ling added, "Of course, there is another special aspect: every time you experience a battle where the strength gap is not too large, your own strength will increase. This is because you possess one of the traits of the variant Super Saiyan bloodline—Battle Growth!"

Zhou Zilong's heart stirred upon hearing this. He understood that this meant he could continuously improve his strength through constant combat, which was undoubtedly great news for him. He took a deep breath, feeling the surging power within his body, his heart filled with anticipation and confidence for the future.

"Oh right, Xiao Ling, the Saiyans in the original Dragon Ball World followed the Super Saiyan God route, while the fan-made GT had Super Saiyan 4. I can develop in both directions simultaneously, right?" Zhou Zilong suddenly thought of another question and asked.

"Of course, that's no problem, Zilong. Your bloodline has already been improved. Not only has the original potential of the Saiyans been retained, but it has also integrated the essence of other worlds. You can choose different development paths according to your own wishes and cultivation progress," Xiao Ling replied.

Hearing this answer, the joy in Zhou Zilong's heart spread like ripples on a lake stirred by a spring breeze. He had always loved both forms of Super Saiyan, their immense power and unparalleled combat skills being something he had always dreamed of. Now that he knew he could develop in both directions simultaneously, how could he not be excited?

However, Zhou Zilong did not forget his original intention because of this. He clearly knew that obtaining great power was not his ultimate goal, but rather to protect the people around him. Thus, he took a deep breath, calmed his inner excitement, and continued to ask, "Xiao Ling, so I can't look at the moon anymore, right? After all, as a Saiyan with a tail, I'll transform into a Great Ape under the moonlight. I really don't want to accidentally injure the people around me!"

Xiao Ling replied with a smile, "Zilong, your worries are unnecessary. Your bloodline has already been improved, so you don't have to worry about turning into a Great Ape that loses its mind. Even if you see the moon, you can control your transformation state at any time. Moreover, even when you transform into a Great Ape, your consciousness will remain clear, and you can wield your power as you please!"

Upon hearing this answer, Zhou Zilong's concerns vanished like smoke. After packing his bags, Zhou Zilong prepared to set off for Korin Tower.
