You got straight to the point and told the Grand Elder why you had come. He said there was no problem, but that you would have to pass a trial to learn the secret techniques. Bursting with confidence, you said the trial would be no problem—as long as you got to learn the techniques!
On June 9, with the Grand Elder's blessing, you resolutely entered the Trial Secret Realm. Before long, you failed—and died!
This simulation has ended!
Choose one of the following rewards:
1. Future Memory 2. Yardratian trial experience ×1 3. Experience in bullying the weak ×1 4. The most comfortable way to ride in a spaceship
Seeing what the simulator displayed, Saigo couldn't help swearing. "What the hell!"
"It actually tells me how I died?! If I died for no apparent reason, how am I supposed to know what to avoid?"
After calming down a little, he glanced at the available rewards, his eyes full of disdain.
"I choose the second one! I want to see how many tries it'll take to pass the trial!"
Ding~ Selection successful! Congratulations, you have obtained "Yardratian trial experience ×1."
Saigo then sensed twenty people approaching. With a thought, he put away the system panel.
Before long, Vegeta III arrived with nineteen Elite Warriors.
When they reached Saigo, Vegeta III said respectfully, "King Saigo, I've brought the nineteen Elite Warriors, as ordered!"
The nineteen Saiyans accompanying him were all so shocked that they stared in stunned silence, as if rooted to the spot.
Their eyes were fixed on the scene before them, filled with disbelief.
Time seemed to freeze in that moment, and the whole world fell unusually quiet.
"Th-this can't be real, can it?"
The voice belonged to a relatively young man, and it trembled.
The others also came back to their senses, but they still couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Some covered their mouths, afraid they might cry out;
some went pale, their legs trembling uncontrollably;
and some felt their legs go weak, almost unable to stand.
Shock surged through them like a tide, leaving them unable to think or speak.
Their once-unshakable convictions began to waver, and their understanding of the world was utterly overturned.
They could hardly believe that King Vegeta would report to a child. They could tell at a glance that the boy had the potential to be an Elite Warrior, but they had assumed King Vegeta had secretly summoned him as well.
They never expected King Vegeta to bow and report to him!
This completely upended their understanding. In their eyes, King Vegeta was an arrogant ruler who never bowed to anyone—not even Frieza!
Seeing King Vegeta act so deferentially, how could they not be shocked?
The most shocked of all were Paragus Squad. The person King Vegeta revered was the very same Saigo whose abnormal battle power they had investigated earlier!
The other four members of Vegeta III's squad were the ones whose legs had gone weak.
Ignoring everyone's astonished expressions, Vegeta III stepped forward and said, "Warriors, the fact that you've made it here proves that you're the best of the best among our Saiyans, and that you're absolutely loyal to our warrior race!"
"That means you're qualified to take part in the top-secret plan personally led by King Saigo. I hope you'll all keep your mouths shut. If word gets out by accident, our Saiyan race will face extinction!"
If Vegeta III had said nothing, things would have been fine. But the moment he spoke, everyone started clamoring at once.
"King Vegeta, are you sure you're handing the throne over to that kid?"
"King Vegeta, are you all right?"
"King Vegeta, are you sure you're not talking nonsense?"
"King Vegeta, do you have a fever?"
"King Vegeta, are you sure this isn't a joke?"
"King Vegeta, are you being threatened? If you are, just say the word! I'm willing to get rid of him for you!"
For a moment, the cave sounded like a marketplace, filled with noise and commotion.
"Quiet!" Seeing a hint of impatience on Saigo's face, Vegeta III immediately shouted. Once everyone fell silent, he continued loudly, "First, King Saigo will be our Saiyan king from now on. I, Vegeta III, will obey his every command. Anyone who opposes him is opposing me!"
"Second, I'm perfectly clearheaded. I'm not talking nonsense, and I don't have a fever. I've never been more normal!"
"Third, I'm not being threatened. This is entirely of my own free will. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I, Vegeta III, would still be a hundred percent willing to let King Saigo take the throne as our King of Saiyans!"
"Fourth, King Saigo's battle power is far greater than mine and my squad's! If you don't believe me, ask Beria and the others. None of them could last even one move against King Saigo, could they?"
At this, the other three squads all turned to stare at the remaining four members of Vegeta III's squad.
Beria and the others, called out by name, flushed bright red with embarrassment and lowered their heads.
Seeing the four of them react like that, how could the other fifteen still doubt that Vegeta III was telling the truth?
Vegeta III felt a little embarrassed himself, but years of serving as King of the Saiyans had made him thick-skinned. He swept his gaze over everyone and continued, "Fifth, King Saigo is the Savior our Super Saiyan God revealed to him in a dream. The God trained him and taught him in that dream, so that he could lead us Saiyans to glory! If King Saigo shouldn't be our king, then who should? Should we just pick one of you at random?"
The others looked at one another, then shook their heads.
"Sixth, if you still regard me, Vegeta III, as your former king, then don't question my decision!"
"Does anyone still have a problem?"
The nineteen Elite Warriors thought it over and confirmed that Vegeta III hadn't lost his mind. Without hesitation, they dropped to one knee in unison and cried respectfully, "This subordinate pays respects to King Saigo!"
"You don't need to be so formal. From now on, don't go around kneeling at the drop of a hat. Let's abolish that custom," Saigo said seriously.
Vegeta III replied, "Yes! I'll pass the word along!"
The nineteen Elite Warriors kneeling on the ground answered in unison as well.
"Thank you, King Saigo! We'll remember that from now on!" ×19
Then they all stood up.
"Good! Everyone, stand at attention!"
Mini Saigo's live lesson officially began.
"From now on, I'll teach you how to freely control the ki inside your bodies—that is, the energy you call it. Once you can control your ki at will, Scouters won't be able to detect your battle power!"
"King Saigo, we can control our battle power at will?" Vegeta III asked in surprise.
Saigo knew they wouldn't believe it unless he demonstrated it himself.
That works!
He could show off in front of them and bring them all together at the same time.
"Did you bring the Scouters you developed yourselves?"
"We did! Paragus, bring the latest Scouter over!"
"Here, catch!"
