Li Xing

Cooler in his final form had still been defeated by Son Goku!

"Hoo—"

Sensing that Cooler's energy had completely vanished, Goku finally let out a sigh of relief and deactivated his Super Saiyan state.

"Hiss—!"

Immediately after, the backlash from stacking the Kaio-ken onto the Super Saiyan state hit him, causing Goku to collapse to the ground in agonizing pain.

"Goku!"

"Dad!"

Krillin and the others flew toward Goku, filled with a mix of joy and concern.

"Li Feng!"

At that moment, an even faster figure lunged toward Li Feng.

"Waaah~ You damn fool, you finally came back!"

Feeling the soft touch against his body and catching the fragrant scent he hadn't smelled in over a year, Li Feng felt a wave of peace and happiness wash over his heart.

Bulma, he had finally seen her!

Without a word, Li Feng planted a French kiss on her, leaving Bulma's face flushed bright red.

"Ahem, Bulma, there are children present."

The voice of Master Roshi and the others came from behind them.

"Hm? Children?"

Li Feng was stunned; where were there any children here?

Then, looking at the infant of a few months old that Master Roshi was holding, a sudden sense of familiarity and warmth welled up in his heart. He looked at Bulma uncertainly and asked with a trembling voice.

"This child, could it be...?"

Li Feng longed to hear Bulma's confirmation.

"That's right, he is our child, a boy. He was born two months ago. You hadn't returned yet, so I named him myself: Li Xing."

"Li Xing, a wonderful name."

Li Feng held the infant in his arms, looking into his round, wide eyes. A sense of responsibility and love, the kind only a father could feel, surged in his heart. This was his own child; he had become a father!

He gently extended a finger, which was immediately gripped by the baby's hand. Feeling overwhelmed with happiness and unable to hold back his tears, he hugged the child and Bulma, saying.

"Bulma, thank you."

"It's what I should do. I love you."

All of Bulma's previous dissatisfaction, worry, and tension dissipated with Li Feng's embrace, and the three of them were enveloped in a sweet and blissful atmosphere.

But just as the three of them were enjoying this happy moment.

"Goku, how are you so badly hurt?"

On the other side, Krillin and the others were looking at Goku with concern, their voices filled with anxiety.

"Hm, you go ahead and take care of that; we'll talk later."

Bulma also knew that Goku's injuries were the priority right now, so she thoughtfully held Li Xing and stepped aside.

"Yeah."

Li Feng nodded and flew toward Goku.

Well, time for this human Senzu Bean dispenser to step in.

I have to say, Senzu Beans really are life-saving goods.

"Swish!"

But at that moment, an even faster figure appeared before Goku.

"Well done, Goku. That final blow was impressive, but it's still too early for you to be using that state."

The person who arrived was Li Feng. He handed Goku a Senzu Bean and said.

"Thanks!"

Goku didn't stand on ceremony and immediately swallowed the Senzu Bean.

"Ah!—I'm back to life!"

In an instant, Goku felt a cooling sensation wash over his entire body. The previous pain and broken bones were completely healed, and his energy returned to normal.

Hm?

Li Feng used his Scouter to measure Goku, who had just recovered from his critical injuries: 15 million!

I really have to admire the broken nature of Saiyans once again.

"Stacking the Kaio-ken on top of the Super Saiyan state might boost your combat power instantly, but the burden on your body is extremely severe. You aren't ready to use that technique yet," Li Feng said slowly.

"Oh? That is a transformation I spent a long time coming up with. Could it be, Li Feng, that you have a new transformation?"

Goku asked in surprise, hurriedly questioning Li Feng.

"That goes without saying. There are many states for a Saiyan, and what I am currently using is merely the Super Saiyan First Tier Second Form."

Li Feng explained.

"Super Saiyan First Tier Second Form? What is that?"

Goku scratched his head, asking in confusion.

"For us Saiyans, aside from simply increasing our base combat power, the second method to grow stronger is to increase the multiplier of our transformations."

"Like your Super Saiyan state stacked with Kaio-ken this time, the multiplier reached one hundred times, but it only lasted for a few seconds and placed an extreme burden on your body; it is not recommended for use."

At this moment, the others arrived and gathered to listen to Li Feng's explanation. Vegeta had also been awakened by the massive energy during the beam struggle between Cooler and Goku; after eating the Senzu Bean provided by Li Feng, he had come over as well.

He was astonished by Kakarot's final transformation, but he was even more shocked by Li Feng's words—the path of Saiyan transformations?

"Therefore, the more correct way for a Saiyan to transform should be to reach the Super Saiyan 2 transformation."

"Then what is this First Tier Second Form of yours?"

Vegeta could not help but ask. Over the year they had spent together, he knew Li Feng was powerful and mysterious. Although he did not know his origins, Li Feng had indeed provided Goku and Vegeta with many methods to become stronger.

"My Super Saiyan First Tier Second Form is, to be precise, a transitional state toward the Super Saiyan Second Tier, with a multiplier of 60 times."

Li Feng said.

"And there are other forms beyond that which are not yet clear, but I am certain that there are still many more Saiyan transformation states."

"Li Feng, why do you know so much? It's as if you can foresee things that will happen in the future. Like today, we were still training, but you said a day in advance that we needed to return to Earth because Earth was in danger, and only then did we rush back and barely manage to detect the ki of Cooler and his men."

In truth, Li Feng had been keeping an eye on the ki on Earth. Although Planet Yardrat was very far from Earth, he had mastered an Advanced Instant Transmission during his training, allowing him to detect what was happening on Earth almost at any time.

Sure enough, because King Cold and his forces were eager for revenge, they had arrived on Earth earlier than in the original timeline. If he hadn't been keeping watch, it really would have resulted in a catastrophe.

"Because sometimes I have Precognitive Dreams, and I know some things in advance."

Li Feng had no choice but to explain it this way.

"Ah? Can such things really happen?"

Krillin said in surprise, but he found it hard to refute, as Li Feng had indeed helped them many times.

"Even more inconceivable things happen in this world. Look, isn't that one right there?"

Li Feng brushed it off and pointed with his hand.

The group was puzzled; it seemed there was nothing at the spot Li Feng was pointing to.

"Whoosh—"

Just then, a mysterious power suddenly fluctuated in the air, and a spacecraft shaped like a Giant Egg manifested from space.

Following that, a massive aura surged forth.

"That... what is that? Such a strong aura!"

Krillin sensed the suddenly appearing aura and was shocked to discover that the power was no less than that of Goku and the other Saiyans.

"Damn it, is it a new enemy again?"

Vegeta gritted his teeth. The blow this time was too great. He had thought that after becoming a Super Saiyan he would be very strong, yet he had still been toyed with by Cooler. Now, this aura that had appeared was faintly stronger than his own. How had experts suddenly become as cheap as cabbage?
