The Grand Elder guided your potential, and your combat power instantly surged tenfold.

You were very grateful to the Grand Elder, but still shamelessly took the Namekian Dragon Balls.

Afterward, through Shenron, you strengthened your innate talent, gained Frieza's Void Survival ability, and finally wished for photographic memory.

May 28th: You had already mastered the suddenly surging power and began attempting the Back-Tingling Method to transform into a Super Saiyan, but all attempts failed.

May 29th: You failed to transform into a Super Saiyan.

May 30th: You failed to transform into a Super Saiyan.

June 30th: You still failed to transform into a Super Saiyan.

This simulation has ended!

Please choose one of the following rewards:

1. Combat Power increased tenfold 2. Secret Technique - Potential Guidance (Beginner 30/100) 3. Void Survival 4. Talent Enhancement 5. Photographic Memory 6. Experience transforming into a Super Saiyan 7. Future Memories

Originally, Saigo watched the continuous failures to transform into a Super Saiyan. Although he knew his combat power didn't meet the minimum standard, he was very depressed. Was it because he didn't have enough S-Cells?

He knew that the Saiyans of Universe 6 also seemed to have weak base combat power, yet they could easily transform into Super Saiyans. It was likely due to having too many S-Cells, which lowered the difficulty of transforming into a Super Saiyan.

As for why he didn't try to transform through anger, he hadn't thought of anything that would make him extremely angry yet.

When he saw the seven reward options, Saigo exclaimed in surprise.

"Huh? The Grand Elder's secret technique wasn't wished for through Shenron, so why is it in the reward options?"

Logically, this option shouldn't be there.

He thought about it but couldn't figure it out, so he decided not to dwell on it for now.

Then, he began to consider which reward would be more worthwhile!

"The first two rewards are undoubtedly excellent, but the first one, tenfold combat power, is only temporary. The second one is long-term..."

One was useful to himself and others, while the other could only be used by himself!

As for the third reward, Void Survival, it was decent, but he wouldn't consider it for now. If it appeared again next time, he would choose it.

Regarding the fourth reward: Talent Enhancement.

He believed that the day Frieza invaded Planet Vegeta was not far off.

According to the original timeline, Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta in the year 737, but the exact date was unknown.

Therefore, the most important thing now was to increase his strength, not his talent.

Thus, he decided to postpone Talent Enhancement for now.

After much deliberation, Saigo made his decision.

If he could get the Potential Guidance secret technique this time, he couldn't guarantee it would appear again.

Since it was available without a Dragon Ball wish, he should definitely choose it first!

He could always wish for other things later using the Dragon Balls.

Moreover, with this secret technique to guide potential, he would no longer just think about how to survive.

Instead, he would see if he could lead the Saiyans to make a name for themselves in this world.

According to the simulation, the Potential Guidance secret technique could also be used on himself, so it wouldn't be a loss no matter what.

Subsequently, Saigo immediately chose the second reward.

"I choose the second one!"

"Ding~ Selection successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Secret Technique - Potential Guidance (Beginner 30/100)!"

Saigo immediately brought up his status panel and browsed it.

[Name]: Saigo [Age]: 2 [Aptitude]: Upper-class [Talent]: Great Ape, Large appetite and strong digestion, Combat power increases after recovery from injury [Spirit Power]: 18 [Combat Power]: 213,750

[Secret Technique]: Potential Guidance (Novice 30/100)

[Skills]:

Artificial Moon

Flight Technique

Ki Control (Proficient 68/1000)

Combat (Novice 66/100)

Ki Sense (Novice 50/100)

[Space]: None

[Simulation Duration]: 3 months

[Simulation Attempts]: 0

Seeing that a [Secret Technique] category had indeed appeared on the information panel, Saigo curiously tapped on "Potential Guidance," and a few lines of text immediately popped up.

[A secret technique of the Namekians; few can learn it acquiredly, and it is generally only mastered through inheritance, yet those who reach proficiency are extremely rare;

Novice-level Potential Guidance can only increase the target's combat power by 10 times;

This technique can be used on oneself, but each person can only use it once in their lifetime.]

After reading it word for word, a brilliant smile spread across Saigo's face in the blink of an eye.

The effect of this secret technique was truly monstrous; even at the novice level, it could increase the target's combat power by 10 times.

And it could even be used on himself.

Saigo had never even dared to imagine this; in the original work, it was only ever used on others, and he had never seen it used on oneself!

Furthermore, if the magnitude of the combat power increase was this high at the novice level, wouldn't it be over a dozen times at the subsequent proficiency levels?!!

Saigo was so impatient to test the effect that he reached out and placed his hand on his head without hesitation, but the next moment, he pulled his hand away.

"No!"

"My combat power is only 210,000 right now. Even a 10-fold increase would only bring it to a little over two million, which doesn't meet the minimum combat power requirement to transform into a Super Saiyan. It's not worth using it now!"

"I'd better improve my base strength first. Besides, with 210,000 combat power, it's enough to 'persuade' King Vegeta!"

Saigo forcibly suppressed the urge to guide his potential immediately and turned back to continue his training.

At the end of the day's training, his combat power increased by another 50.

Over the next two days, Saigo remained immersed in simulations and cultivation.

He chose combat power for every simulation, and after two attempts, his combat power increased by a total of 9,000.

Through two days of cultivation, he also gained 100 combat power.

Even a mosquito is meat, no matter how small; Saigo did not give up on reality-based cultivation just because he had a cheat, as he knew he was still very weak.

In this world where crises could appear at any moment, he could not afford the slightest slack.

At the very least, he could not afford to relax at the current stage.

Time flew by.

Soon, it was May 4th.

Early morning.

Having learned his lesson, Saigo decided that his daily simulations at this stage should be conducted every morning to avoid unnecessary losses.

He had to use his cheat rationally, just like maximizing the utility of limited resources in the games of his past life.

Saigo understood this logic well enough.

With a thought, he pulled up the system panel.

He clicked [Start Simulation].

[May 4th, you had been training for less than half an hour when Tarble and the nursemaid came to your door.

You knew the purpose of their visit, but you insisted on seeing King Vegeta before leaving. The nursemaid dared not make the decision, but Tarble agreed.

Ten minutes later.

You successfully met King Vegeta, and using the method of "persuading with virtue" along with your silver tongue, you successfully hoodwinked King Vegeta, making him submissive to you...]

Seeing this, Saigo couldn't help but grin and retort, "What the hell is this 'silver tongue'? Isn't 'persuading with an axe' enough? Why all the extra fuss?! Unnecessary!"

[...

Afterward, at your request, King Vegeta took you to the secret base.

Upon arriving at the base, King Vegeta followed your arrangements to return and carry out orders, while you remained at the secret base to train.

During this time, King Vegeta was personally responsible for delivering your three meals a day.

Training for one day, combat power +50.]

[May 5th, trained for one day, Combat Power +50.]

[May 9th, Vegeta III arrived at the secret base with 19 elite warriors to receive your instruction. Between teaching, you did not forget to train, Combat Power +50.]

[May 15th, all 20 elite warriors, including Vegeta III, learned to freely control the energy within their bodies. You trained for one day, Combat Power +50.]

[May 16th, you led the 20 elite warriors to train together in the secret base, trained for one day, Combat Power +50.]

[May 26th, morning, you used the secret technique—Potential Guidance—on yourself. It took only a second or two for your Combat Power to increase tenfold.

Before and after using the secret technique, you kept your internal aura suppressed to prevent excessive leakage. Aside from the 20 elite warriors who had learned aura sensing, no one else on Planet Vegeta noticed.

When Vegeta III and the others arrived at the secret base, you openly admitted that your strength had broken through, leaving everyone shocked and envious.

Afterward, you had Vegeta III secretly prepare a Spherical Spaceship, and you set off alone for Namek.]

[June 10th, you successfully arrived on Namek and met the Grand Elder. You wanted him to help guide your potential, but the Grand Elder said you had already had your potential guided and could not use the same method a second time.

In the end, you had to settle for second best. With the Grand Elder's consent, you obtained one use of the Dragon Balls.

Through your wish, you successfully gained the Void Survival ability and the Detection Eye ability, and strengthened your natural talent.

Afterward, you began attempting to transform into a Super Saiyan, but failed.]

Seeing this, Saigo's heart stirred.

As expected, Potential Guidance can only be used once in a lifetime!

But then again, it makes sense!

How could such a heaven-defying skill not have restrictions!

One must learn to be content; do not be greedy!

The Void Survival ability is quite good, too!

With it, there is no need to worry about harsh environments with little or no oxygen, and one can fly freely in space.

However, what is this Detection Eye ability? Is it for scouting?

Saigo couldn't figure it out for a moment, shook his head slightly, and continued reading.

[June 11th, you continued to attempt the Super Saiyan transformation, but still failed.]

[June 12th, through the Grand Elder's illusion, you recalled the heroic scenes from your past life of watching television, where figures on the battlefield charged forward without hesitation. Your rage meter instantly exploded, and you successfully transformed into the Pseudo Super Saiyan state!

It is a pity that you only maintained the Super Saiyan state for a split second before reverting to your normal state, nearly passing out in the process.]

Holy crap!

The Grand Elder can use illusions too?!

This is something worth trying to get! It's extremely practical!

However, I wonder if that race exists in this world?!

Heh!

I hope they do!

At this moment, cold light and killing intent flickered in Saigo's eyes, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by several degrees.

After a long while.

He continued reading.

[After you rested, you tried again. Unfortunately, despite the assistance of the Grand Elder's illusion, you couldn't even successfully transform into the Pseudo Super Saiyan state, let alone the Super Saiyan state.]

Seeing this, Saigo was not surprised. Illusions are most effective when the target is completely caught off guard.

Just like in the simulation, trying to use an illusion again to reach the peak of rage is clearly not that easy.

Since preparations were made in advance, the effect would be greatly diminished.

It's like watching a horror movie; you only feel scared the first time you watch it, but not the second.

[June 13th, you tried to transform into a Super Saiyan again, but still failed.]

[June 18th, you realized that although you are a transmigrator with a gentle personality, not enough time had passed, and the number of S-Cells in your body was insufficient. It was not enough to support the Super Saiyan transformation, so you simply gave up.

That same day, you bid farewell to the Grand Elder and set off on your return to Planet Vegeta.]

[July 3rd, evening, you successfully returned to Planet Vegeta.]
