With a question in mind, he looked down at the surprised expressions of Vegeta III and Paragus, furrowed his brows, and called out, "Vegeta III, you explain this! What is the meaning of this?"
He then picked up the water cup beside him and took a sip to calm his nerves, praying silently: Please, let it not be what I think it is!
"Ahem!"
Vegeta III looked at Fasha, coughed twice, and bit the bullet to explain, "Reporting to King Saigao, this is how we Saiyans express our affection for one another. Whenever we take a fancy to someone of the opposite sex, we extend our tails in front of the target. If the other party also extends their tail to touch and entwine with it, it signifies that both parties agree to be together and produce offspring."
Pfft!
King Saigao sprayed out all the water he hadn't yet swallowed. It was exactly what he feared!
Is the Saiyan courtship ritual really this bizarre?!
I actually want to try it!
No, wait!
BANG!
He slammed the water cup down, sending droplets flying, and shouted sternly, "This is utter nonsense!"
"Fasha, you have already formed a family with Captain Bardock; how could you do such a thing? Do you think this is fair to Captain Bardock?"
"If you truly wish to repay me, then focus on your training and improve your strength—that would be the best way to repay me!"
Fasha was reminded of the family values King Saigao had taught them, and she was instantly filled with shame. She fell to her knees with a thud, burying her face as she begged for forgiveness.
"I-I am sorry, King Saigao. Your subordinate was momentarily impulsive and forgot your teachings. Please, punish me!"
"Get up! I was merely helping you unlock your potential; there is no need to be so emotional."
"Once a person becomes emotional, it can affect their rational thinking and judgment, leading them to make mistakes!"
"Remember, do not get worked up when facing situations. Only by remaining calm can you handle every task properly!" King Saigao began to lecture her earnestly.
"Yes! This subordinate thanks King Saigao for his mercy!"
Fasha stood up, though a faint blush still lingered on her face.
"Go stand over there for now. Next, Tarble!"
Afterward, King Saigao unlocked the potential for Tarble, Paragus, and Vegeta III in turn, most of them receiving a tenfold increase in combat power.
Fasha: 9.87 million
Tarble: 5.48172 million
Paragus: 13.52 million
Vegeta III: 16.8 million
Among the four, only Vegeta III did not reach a 10x increase. His original combat power was 1.6925 million; logically, it should have been 16.925 million, but it was only 16.8 million.
King Saigao secretly speculated: This might be related to his aptitude. Although Vegeta III is a high-class warrior and possesses the royal Saiyan bloodline, his base limit before transforming into a Super Saiyan must be capped at 16.8 million!
As for the other three, it was clear they had not yet reached their limits.
"Tarble, you, teach the method to these three. Then, everyone begin attempting to transform into the Super Saiyan form!" King Saigao leaned back against his throne, his eyelids drooping, looking listless as he 'struggled' to issue the order. "Begin. Try it right here in the Royal Palace. I wish you success!"
The four people below the steps saw this scene and felt a strange sensation in their hearts. They clenched their fists, secretly swearing that they must succeed in transforming into the Super Saiyan form!
"Yes! This subordinate (disciple) will surely succeed!"
King Saigao waved his hand 'weakly' and closed his eyes to rest. While it wasn't quite as exaggerated as he made it seem, it was indeed a bit draining to unlock the potential of four people in a row.
In his heart, he silently gave himself a thumbs up.
Brilliant!
With my acting talent, it's a huge loss for the entertainment industry that I wasn't an actor in my past life!
Seeing this, the four of them stood in silence, bowed to King Saigao without a word, and then tiptoed out of the Royal Palace.
What they didn't know was that the moment they stepped out of the Royal Palace, King Saigao opened his eyes, silently moved behind the main gate, and began to observe them in secret.
At this moment, there were no guards outside the Royal Palace. When he summoned the four of them, he had ordered them to pass the word down about testing techniques so that others wouldn't panic.
The four gathered in the plaza and, before long, began their attempts to transform into Super Saiyans.
Tarble acted as the instructor for this session and, naturally, was the first to attempt it.
But to King Saigao's surprise, Tarble actually succeeded on his first try!
Is it really that easy for Tarble to become a Super Saiyan?
Could it be that his naturally gentle personality leads to a very high number of S-Cells in his body?
Thinking about it, King Saigao felt it was highly likely.
After all, the gentler the personality, the more conducive it is to the growth of S-Cells, and his combat power already exceeded the minimum requirement for the Super Saiyan transformation!
The subsequent attempts by Fasha, Paragus, and Vegeta III confirmed this theory.
Among the three, Fasha was the first to successfully transform into a Super Saiyan, though it took her five attempts.
Since Fasha had formed a family with Bardock, she had been influenced by him to some extent. Bardock might have subtly hinted at the conditions required for the Super Saiyan transformation, and combined with those cross-dimensional educational philosophies, her personality was no longer as fiery as it once was.
With the S-Cells in their bodies having multiplied and their combat power far exceeding the minimum threshold for the transformation, it was no surprise that they had successfully achieved the Super Saiyan state.
The second was Vegeta III, who had successfully transformed into a Super Saiyan for the seventh time.
The last was Paragus, who had only managed to successfully transform into a Super Saiyan on his ninth attempt.
After the four of them stabilized their Super Saiyan forms, they succeeded in several more attempts before taking to the sky, only to suddenly descend and walk briskly toward the Royal Palace.
Seeing this, Saigao immediately utilized high-speed movement to return to his throne and feign sleep.
He had barely been pretending to sleep for a moment when he sensed that Tarble and the others had stepped into the Royal Palace.
Before they could report, Saigao took the initiative to ask: "Since you have all successfully transformed into Super Saiyans, why have you come here instead of consolidating your transformed states?"
Vegeta III stepped forward, deliberately controlling the volume of his voice, and replied: "Reporting to King Saigao, the fact that your subordinates were able to transform into Super Saiyans is all thanks to your grace!
However, we wish to spar with one another to better adapt to our surging combat power and new forms! We have come specifically to request your permission!"
"I grant it, but do not hold the battle on the ground; take it to the air! Be careful not to use energy attacks!" Saigao agreed without hesitation, while also cautioning them about their combat methods.
If they were to use energy attacks and accidentally strike Planet Saiyan, the loss would far outweigh the gain.
A combat power of several thousand was enough to blow up a planet; with energy attacks at the level of hundreds of millions, they would surely blast Planet Saiyan into cosmic dust.
"Yes! Thank you for your grace, King Saigao!" x3
"Yes! Thank you for your grace, Teacher! This disciple will not disturb your rest any further; please rest well!"
The four of them tiptoed out of the Royal Palace once more and flew straight up into the high altitude.
Before long, thunderous sounds of collisions could be heard echoing from the sky.
Saigao had no interest in watching, and as soon as they had left, he flashed over to his private Gravity Chamber in the palace square to conduct his daily training.
There was nothing worth seeing in a spar; it was far more practical to focus on improving his own strength!
