Bardock Becomes a Super Saiyan

As expected.

Upon hearing King Saigao's words, both Bardock and Tarble's eyes immediately widened into dead-fish stares.

They could not believe what their ears were hearing!

The phrase "my combat power only just crossed the hundred-million mark not long ago" echoed incessantly in their minds.

The guilt that had been on Bardock's face vanished without a trace, replaced by shock, awe, and worship.

The same was true for Tarble.

So that was it!

Their teacher's combat power had already reached the level of one hundred million!

How incredible!

He was truly worthy of being the one chosen by the Super Saiyan God!

What they didn't know was that King Saigao had actually understated the truth; if he had told them the real figures, it wouldn't have been a pleasant surprise, but a terrifying shock.

The kind that could scare someone into fainting!

"Teacher, you are too amazing! Your combat power actually broke through one hundred million!" Tarble exclaimed sincerely.

The light in his eyes was nothing short of fanatical.

Bardock was no exception. Though he remained silent, he now seemed to have transformed into a devout believer, his burning gaze revealing endless reverence, adoration, and gratitude toward King Saigao.

In this moment, he also felt a sudden clarity, and his heart felt much lighter.

So that was it.

The most important thing for a person is not to compare oneself with others.

It is to compare oneself with who they were yesterday; as long as one does better today than yesterday, that is success!

Seeing King Saigao's inquiring gaze turn toward him, Bardock immediately held his head high and puffed out his chest, regaining his usual vigor as he said loudly, "Thank you for your guidance, King Saigao. This subordinate understands! Please look forward to my performance in the future!"

Seeing this, King Saigao was quite satisfied. His efforts hadn't been in vain after all—his mouth had gone dry from all that talking!

The sharp-eyed Tarble immediately poured a glass of water and brought it over. "Teacher, please have some water!"

Not bad!

This disciple was worth taking in!

Regardless of what he might achieve in the future.

At the very least, he was very observant!

"Thanks!" King Saigao said, taking the cup and downing it in one gulp.

"It's only right, you're too polite!" Tarble said, waving his hand.

"No, it is not 'only right.' No one is born to serve others. It is only right that I say 'thank you' to you! This is basic etiquette," King Saigao countered.

"It is this disciple's honor to serve you, Teacher!" Tarble replied with a chuckle.

He felt no tension at all when facing King Saigao!

His body and mind were completely at ease.

King Saigao steadied himself and explained to Bardock, "Bardock, since your combat power was previously 460,000, it has now reached 4.6 million. This exceeds the 3 million minimum required to transform into a Super Saiyan, so you should be able to succeed!"

Bardock and Tarble were both shocked to the core, their pupils shrinking to pinpricks in an instant.

They had both mentally prepared themselves, guessing that his combat power might have broken through one million, but they never expected a tenfold increase to a staggering 4.6 million!

That was a full ten times the power—not just one or two times!

What an exaggerated boost!

King Saigao actually possessed such a heaven-defying secret technique!

No wonder King Saigao was so exhausted after using this technique just once!

By thinking of the Saiyans in everything he did, King Saigao was truly the greatest King of Saiyans in history.

In this moment, Bardock and Tarble looked upon King Saigao with profound respect, and his status in their hearts rose once again!

The man himself, King Saigao, was unaware of their thoughts and continued to talk incessantly about how to transform into a Super Saiyan.

"Bardock, give it a try. The key to transforming into a Super Saiyan lies in anger. Recall something that makes you extremely furious; the angrier you are, the easier it will be to succeed. Come, try it!"

"This subordinate will try!" Bardock wore an eager expression as he closed his eyes and began to carefully recall things that made him angry.

No Saiyan could refuse the opportunity to transform into a Super Saiyan!

Seeing Bardock close his eyes, King Saigao and Tarble both wore expressions of anticipation.

One second.

Three seconds.

Five seconds.

BOOM!

Bardock's aura suddenly erupted, climbing steadily higher with every passing moment.

In the blink of an eye, his energy surged to its peak.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The tyrannical aura formed continuous gusts of wind that spread rapidly in all directions, nearly blowing the weak Tarble away.

Fortunately, King Saigao stepped in front of him just in time to shield him, preventing him from being swept away.

As Bardock's aura soared to its zenith, his fists clenched tightly, and his expression turned ferocious.

The next moment, his hair began to flicker into a golden hue, only to revert to black just as quickly. Within a few seconds, his hair cycled between yellow and black over a dozen times.

Just as King Saigao thought Bardock was about to succeed, Bardock suddenly opened his eyes and collapsed to his knees, gasping for air. Sweat dripped down his face, as if the attempt had drained every ounce of his strength.

"Uncle Bardock, are you alright?" Tarble asked with concern once Bardock had caught his breath slightly.

After recovering a bit, Bardock stood up from the ground despite still panting, beads of sweat still visible on his forehead.

King Saigao spoke up, "How does it feel?"

"This subordinate feels... it is still just a little bit off!" Bardock was still struggling to catch his breath, his speech intermittent.

Yet, there was no sign of discouragement in his eyes; instead, they shone with brilliant intensity.

"That proves you will be able to transform successfully very soon. Rest for a moment and try again later. Remember, don't just focus on the anger; while feeling that rage, do your utmost to concentrate the power within your body toward your back. Do not suppress your emotions—you can shout it out loud. Shouting can help guide the latent energy hidden within you! Doing this should lead to success!" King Saigao instructed once more.

Upon hearing this, Bardock's gaze turned scorching, as if victory were already within his grasp.

"Yes! Many thanks for your guidance, King Saigao! This subordinate will surely succeed in a moment!"

"If you can successfully transform, that will be the greatest thanks you could give me," King Saigao smiled faintly, then turned to look at Tarble. "Tarble, go to the Gravity Chamber outside and train. Remember, do not be too hasty. Be steady and solid, and build a good foundation! Also, tell those outside not to make a fuss and to focus on their own tasks!"

"Yes, Teacher! This disciple will take his leave! Goodbye, Teacher!"

"Go."

After bowing, Tarble walked briskly toward the exit.

Five minutes passed.

Bardock had finally rested enough to begin his second attempt at the transformation.

Before starting, he recited King Saigao's instructions to himself.

"Anger! Concentrate energy in the back!"

He then closed his eyes and officially began his attempt to transform into a Super Saiyan.

One second!

Two seconds!

Three seconds!

BOOM!

A tyrannical aura erupted violently from Bardock's body, surging to its peak within a few breaths.

The next instant, his hair suddenly turned yellow and held that state for two full seconds, unlike the rapid flickering of his previous attempt!

Excellent!

There was hope!

Seeing this, King Saigao knew there was a real chance, so he encouraged him further: "Push harder! Give it another burst of effort! Shout it out!"
