As of November 1, 738.
The combat power of the 30 Elite Warriors had all reached over 300,000. This did not include Tarble, who had not trained in the Gravity Chamber.
Among them, Vegeta III had the highest combat power at 586,045. He was currently the Saiyan with the highest combat power apart from Saigo.
3 people had combat power between 500,000 and 600,000;
10 people had combat power between 400,000 and 500,000;
26 people had combat power between 300,000 and 400,000;
40 people had combat power between 200,000 and 300,000;
60 people had combat power between 100,000 and 200,000;
Everyone else had combat power between 10,000 and 100,000.
By now, the Saiyans had truly lived up to their reputation as a "warrior race." Apart from the 500 newborns still being raised, every Saiyan on Planet Saiyan had a combat power of at least 10,000.
Most terrifying of all, every Saiyan had learned the techniques of Ki Control and Ki Sense.
As for Tarble, Saigo's only apprentice, he had trained for a total of 499 days. His combat power had risen from 180 to 21,637, an increase of 43 points per day.
Although he was a Saiyan warrior classified as a low-class warrior, his royal blood meant his training speed was no slouch. In fact, it was even higher than that of other so-called Elite Warrior Saiyans who had only just crossed the threshold for Elite Warrior classification.
He was currently the fastest learner apart from Vegeta III.
November 2.
Dawn had barely broken, but Saigo was already up, ready to splurge on the more than 200 simulation attempts he had painstakingly saved.
[November 2: After getting up early and taking care of your hunger, you begin your daily training.
By now, training for 10 hours a day under 50 times gravity has become a precious habit.
After a day of training, your combat power increases by 125,000.]
[November 3: Cooler leads his army in an invasion of Planet Saiyan. You face your enemy with everything you have, using the Full Power Super Saiyan Form to effortlessly resolve the crisis with a Super Ki Blast at full power. The whole thing takes less than half an hour.
After defeating Cooler, you head back to continue training.
After completing your daily training of 10 hours under 50 times gravity, your combat power increases by 125,000.]
Saigo nodded to himself as he read this. There was no point in showing mercy to enemies.
Good!
Now that was more like it!
[Evening, January 1, 739: After completing your daily training, your combat power increases by 125,000.]
[March 1: You train for a day under 50 times gravity. Your combat power increases by 125,000.]
[This simulation has ended!]
[Choose one of the following rewards:
1. Combat power: 15,000,000
2. Super Ki Blast (Proficient 669/1000)

4. Ki Control (Proficient 418/1000)
5. Ki Sense (Proficient 66/1000)
6. Future Memory]
After looking over the simulation, Saigo had no reason to hesitate. He went straight for the combat power reward.
Not only did he choose the combat power reward this time, he also chose it for the next 49 simulations.
But after the 51st simulation, something unexpected happened.
[November 2: After completing your daily training, your combat power increases by 125,000.]
[November 3: After defeating the Cooler Legion, you head back to continue training.
After completing your daily training of 10 hours under 50 times gravity, your combat power increases by 125,000.]
[March 1, 739: You train for a day under 50 times gravity. Your combat power increases by 125,000.]
[This simulation has ended!]
[Choose one of the following rewards:
1. Combat power: 15,000,000
6. Future Memory]
As usual, Saigo chose the combat power reward.
"Choose the first one!"
[Ding~ Selection successful! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 305,400 combat power.]
"What's going on?" Saigo exclaimed in astonishment at the voice from the Simulation System. "It clearly said 15 million combat power. Why did I only get a little over 300,000?"
"Did the system skim some off the top?!"
But Saigo knew his cheat had no intelligence. Even if he asked, it wouldn't respond. He had already confirmed this long ago.
Baffled, Saigo brought up the Personal Information Panel.

"850 million combat power. Could it be that even after transforming into a Super Saiyan, my base combat power can't keep increasing forever?" Saigo muttered, staring at the number beside [Combat Power]. "Have I reached my limit? Can I only keep increasing my base strength by breaking through?!"
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
He immediately began a new simulation to test his theory.
[Early morning, November 2: You use the latest model Scouter to measure your combat power and learn that your base combat power has reached 850 million. Overjoyed, you decide to reward yourself with another day of training.]
[Early morning, November 3: You check your combat power with the Scouter and discover that it hasn't increased at all. Confused, you decide to train for another day and see what happens.
After a day of training, you discover that your combat power still hasn't increased!
You decide to train for another day tomorrow and see what happens!]
[Evening, November 4: Your combat power still hasn't increased. Only then do you become certain that you've hit a bottleneck. You decide to try breaking through to a form beyond Super Saiyan tomorrow.]
[November 5: After trying it out, you easily break through to Super Saiyan 2, causing a huge commotion on Planet Saiyan! Broly is nearly roused by your immense Ki into unleashing the competitive and bloodthirsty nature of his Legendary Super Saiyan Bloodline. Luckily, you don't maintain your Super Saiyan 2 transformation for long. Broly is terrified and tells you right away. You're shocked, realizing that you nearly caused a disaster. You understand that Broly shouldn't stay on Planet Saiyan for long until his spiritual power is strong enough—or, more precisely, that he shouldn't go near Saiyans who have transformed into Super Saiyans.]
"So that's it!" A look of understanding flashed through Saigo's eyes. He murmured, "I get it! The Super Saiyan 1 Form has a limit to its base power too. Before breaking through that limit, combat power won't increase!"
"No wonder my total combat power didn't go up after the previous simulation, even though I chose the combat power reward! This must be the Full Power Super Saiyan state that Sun Wukong mentioned in the original story—the one where you can't make any more progress!"
"No wonder he said that no matter how much he trained in Super Saiyan form, he wouldn't improve! He must have reached his limit. Without breaking through, he couldn't keep increasing his combat power!"
Saigo felt sure his theory was right.
