It was just a pity that Tarble had always treated Vegeta III with a lukewarm indifference; if he were not Tarble's biological father, Tarble might not have had any interaction with him at all.
"Sorry! I cannot tell you that, Father!" Tarble replied without turning his head, his tone casual and flat.
Although the word "Father" had been spoken, it carried almost no emotion whatsoever.
"Then, I would like to ask, since Captain Bardock is capable of transforming into the Super Saiyan form, do I... do I have a chance?" Vegeta III sighed leisurely, asking with some trepidation.
This time, Tarble finally turned his head and gave him a deep look. "If Father is still thinking about reclaiming the throne, even if you become a Super Saiyan, I will stop you!"
"No, no, no! Son, don't misunderstand, I have no such thoughts!" Vegeta III was startled by Tarble's words, waving his hands in a panic. He scanned his surroundings quickly and, finding that no one else was looking their way, he let out a sigh of relief, lowered his voice, and cautioned, "Son, you must not speak like that in the future, do you understand?"
"I support King Saigao being the King of Saiyans with both hands; I wouldn't be happy with anyone else!"
Tarble looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze for a few seconds, sensing that he was not lying, and couldn't help but say: "It had better be so! If Father wishes to become a Super Saiyan, it is best to maintain a peaceful state of mind in daily life. Once your combat power reaches a certain level, try a few more times and you will be able to successfully transform into a Super Saiyan!"
"I know about the peaceful state of mind and the required combat power, but I just don't know how to actually trigger the transformation!" Vegeta III wanted to seize the opportunity to ask for the method of the Super Saiyan transformation.
"Don't even think about getting the specific method out of my mouth, Father. When the time is ripe, I believe the teacher will tell you!"
Tarble naturally knew what Vegeta III was planning. After dropping that sentence, he decisively turned around, looked up, and continued to watch the battle.
"Son..."
Vegeta III stopped mid-sentence. He wanted to reach out and pat Tarble on the shoulder, but after a moment of hesitation, he lowered his hand, sighed inwardly, and then joined the group watching the battle.
His eyes were filled with longing.
Half an hour later.
In the stratosphere high above.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Let's stop here!" After blocking Bardock's attack, Saigao spoke up.
He looked down and gestured for Bardock to look below. "If we keep fighting, the people down there won't have the heart to train anymore!"
Bardock looked at Saigao, who was unscathed and didn't even have a single bead of sweat on him, and the shock in his heart was unimaginable.
King Saigao is truly formidable!
With my level of strength, I couldn't even make him take me seriously!
I should feel satisfied that King Saigao was willing to spar with me for so long!
Thinking of this, Bardock returned to his normal state.
"King Saigao, isn't your strength a bit too overwhelming? Even when your subordinate used his full power, it still had no effect on you!" Bardock's face was bruised and purple at the moment, but he didn't care at all; his eyes were full of admiration and longing, mixed with a hint of bitterness.
Saigao comforted him: "Great strength is not achieved overnight. As long as you persevere, you will eventually reach my level. I believe you can do it!"
"Rest assured, this subordinate will not let you down!" Bardock replied with a look of yearning.
"That's good!" Saigao looked at the dense crowd of tiny dots below and felt a slight headache. "Captain Bardock, I will trouble you to explain things to that group below later. Remember, do not reveal my secret techniques or the tricks to transforming into a Super Saiyan for now! As for the rest, say whatever you like!"
After speaking, without waiting for Bardock to reply, Saigao vanished from the spot using Instant Transmission.
"Hey, hey! You..."
Before Bardock could finish his sentence, he saw that the space in front of him had become empty.
Whoosh!
Only a light breeze blew past.
Bardock's eyes widened immediately, his pupils shrinking as a stormy sea surged in his heart.
What kind of speed is this?
I couldn't detect any trace of movement at all!
Is this the true strength of King Saigao?!
Too powerful!
"Wait!" After Bardock reacted, he looked down cautiously. Some of the small black dots were gradually growing larger, and he felt incredibly troubled, scratching his cheek. "How on earth am I supposed to explain this?"
"Damn it!"
"King Saigao is too shrewd, running away so fast! Leaving me with such a mess!"
"Hiss! Although King Saigao didn't use his full power, he really hit hard!"
Just as Bardock was at his wit's end, Saigao had already returned to the Royal Palace, pulled up his Personal Information Panel, and was reading it with great interest.

"Hmm, not bad! The proficiency of my Combat skill has increased quite a bit; only eight hundred more to reach the Skilled level!"
"The proficiency of Flight Technique and Ki Control has also improved significantly. It was worth the half-hour of effort!"
On the contrary, the combat power barely increased, which was within King Saigao's expectations.
When the strength levels are unequal, even sparring won't increase combat power by much.
It could be said that in the battle just now, apart from the training effect on combat experience and skill proficiency, everything else was just acting as a sparring partner for Bardock.
"It's still early. I'll finish my cultivation before talking to them about preparing for battle against Cooler!"
After muttering to himself, King Saigao dove into the Gravity Chamber.
There were two Gravity Chambers in the palace plaza at this time; presumably, Tarble had sent someone to deliver them earlier.
A day of bitter cultivation, combat power +250,000.
Evening, nine o'clock sharp.
King Saigao had Bardock and Vegeta III summoned.
"Calling you both here so late, there is a major matter I need to discuss with you!" King Saigao sat face-to-face with them, his opening statement making them nervous.
Vegeta III seized the opportunity to answer first, never missing a chance to perform, "King Saigao, whatever the matter is, just give the order! This subordinate will certainly do my utmost to carry it out!"
King Saigao knew his little schemes; he was merely trying to pry into how to transform into a Super Saiyan and how to achieve a massive surge in combat power.
To this, King Saigao pretended not to notice.
"King Saigao, please just speak your mind!" Bardock's expression was grave, guessing that what King Saigao was about to say might be of great importance.
King Saigao said in a deep voice: "Have the warriors prepare for battle tomorrow; there may be a tough fight ahead!"
According to the events in the simulation, King Saigao guessed that since Cooler had been training personally, there was no reason for his subordinates to just wait around; they must have been drilled as well!
Judging by the intensity of Cooler's training, the training intensity of the legion soldiers wouldn't be too bad either.
If Cooler could raise his final combat power to 2 billion in such a short time, his three capable lieutenants must have at least several hundred thousand in combat power.
If they didn't transform into Great Apes, tomorrow would indeed be a tough fight.
