Saigao did not care in the slightest, but the others on Planet Saiyan certainly did.
The battle that suddenly erupted high above immediately drew their undivided attention.
"Such powerful energy! Is that Captain Paragus and the others? Don't tell me all four of them have also turned into Super Saiyans?"
"I think that guess is highly likely. Maybe they, just like Captain Bardock, have all transformed into Super Saiyans!"
"Exactly! I also think they've become Super Saiyans! Otherwise, this aura wouldn't be so immense!"
"You all guessed right. Yesterday, I happened to run into Captain Vegeta and the others at the Combat Power Testing Center. Even though they all had battle powers over 500,000, their energy yesterday wasn't nearly as strong as it is now. The difference between the two is like heaven and earth. What kind of method do you think King Saigao used to turn Captain Bardock and the others into Super Saiyans? When will it be our turn?"
"I don't know the specific method, but one thing I can be sure of is that King Saigao's technique must be heaven-defying!"
"Get lost! What kind of nonsense is that? Who doesn't know King Saigao's methods are heaven-defying?! I want to know when it will be our turn!"
"I want to know too! Why don't you go and ask King Saigao yourself?"
"Go, go, go! If I dared to approach King Saigao, would I still be standing here watching? I might have been one of those in the battlefield above by now!"
"Enough! Shut up, all of you! Always dreaming of reaching the top in one step. While King Saigao's method is heaven-defying, I suspect it must have some kind of side effect. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited so long to create more Super Saiyans, and only four at that! Hmph! Instead of wasting time guessing here, you'd be better off training hard! I'm going to train, are you coming?"
"Hey, hey, hey! Captain, wait for us!"
"Captain, aren't you going to watch anymore? A battle of this level isn't something you see every day!"
"If you want to watch, watch it yourself!"
"Don't be like that! Captain, wait for me!"
There were hundreds, if not thousands, of places on Planet Saiyan where similar scenes were playing out. Everyone fantasized about being one of the four Super Saiyans in the sky, yet no one felt it was unfair; they only felt they weren't outstanding enough to catch King Saigao's eye.
Compared to the last time when Saigao and Bardock's battle was watched from start to finish, this time, the curious onlookers on Planet Saiyan only watched for less than five minutes before returning to their respective daily training routines.
But this time, in a distant place, there was an unexpected yet reasonable observer watching the battle of the four Super Saiyans on Planet Saiyan.
"Four more Super Saiyans!"
"What kind of race are these Saiyans, to have Super Saiyans appearing one after another? They are far stronger than the Frost Demon Race that Frieza belongs to. I just hope this new King of Saiyans, Saigao, doesn't let the Saiyans walk the same old path, or this universe will be in turmoil again!"
"Sigh! Why is this North Galaxy so plagued with disasters? I hope the Saiyans can truly turn over a new leaf! If they can abandon evil and follow the path of good, heh heh, then I'll have to show off to that shorty, the West Kai. What's the point of having powerful righteous martial artists who are already dead? My North Galaxy now possesses powerful, living righteous martial artists. I bet his face will be a sight to behold! Hahaha~"
"Saiyan Saigao, can you really change the Saiyans..."
An hour later.
On Planet Saiyan, the sparring session of the four Super Saiyans finally concluded.
By the time they found Saigao, he had already been training for over an hour. Interestingly, Bardock had followed them as well.
"Is there anything else?" Saigao asked, stopping after finishing another set of training.
Vegeta III immediately replied: "Reporting to King Saigao, we discussed it among ourselves just now and felt it necessary to disclose to the other clansmen that your special technique consumes your lifespan. We have come specifically to seek your instruction on this matter!"
Saigao wiped away his sweat, scanned the others, and asked: "Do you all really think so?"
"Yes!" x4
Receiving a firm response, Saigao's gaze narrowed as he fell into deep thought.
There was no need to worry about loyalty now, but having created five Super Saiyans in two consecutive instances, if there were no explanation, it would not only contradict the philosophy he taught of treating all clansmen equally, but it might also cause dissatisfaction among others or lead to the misguided notion that they could become Super Saiyans simply by relying on him, further dampening their passion for cultivation.
Even if they succeeded in becoming Super Saiyans that way, they would lose the drive to continue moving forward.
He did not want such a situation to become reality.
Announcing this fabricated "hazard" would not only prevent them from over-relying on his special ability but also fully mobilize their enthusiasm for training.
Two birds with one stone!
Hmm!
This idea is feasible!
He then said without looking up: "Very well, I agree! By the way, tell them that this secret technique can only be used once per person and cannot be used infinitely. Also, the higher the base battle power, the greater the increase in battle power after using the technique. Furthermore, tell them I will continue to improve this technique; they need to have something to look forward to, don't they?"
Only at the end did he look up.
"Yes!" x5
"This subordinate takes his leave!" x4
"This disciple takes his leave!"
Once the other Saiyans learned that Saigao was sacrificing his own life to guide the potential of Bardock, Vegeta III, and the others, while they admired and revered him, even if they desperately wanted Saigao to guide their own potential, the thought of it costing Saigao his life made them abandon the idea one by one.
Another reason that made them completely give up the thought was that Bardock, Vegeta III, and the others revealed a fact that made them both envious and admiring—that Saigao's current strength was, from beginning to end, achieved through his own diligent training.
They also revealed Saigao's good habit of insisting on training every single day.
In the end, the Saiyans finally extinguished the thoughts in their hearts. Although they still held onto hope, it was merely the expectation that Saigao would soon optimize the secret technique that could help others guide their potential.
That day, Saigao did not bring Broly back to Planet Saiyan, intending instead to let Tarble and the other three familiarize themselves with the Super Saiyan transformation for a few days first.
Time flew by.
Soon, it was March 16th, Age 740.
At the first light of dawn.
The Yangxin Palace, the exclusive bedchamber of the King of Saiyans—a name Saigo himself had bestowed upon the previously nameless structure.
Saigo was acting out of character today, lingering in bed.
Because he had serious business to attend to!
He intended to use up all his accumulated simulation attempts to specifically improve his skills and the proficiency of his various abilities.
"Hmm, I already have 236 simulation attempts. Before heading to Namek, I'll first master the Destructo Disc, then raise the proficiency of all my skills as much as I possibly can!"
"Hopefully, I won't run out of attempts!"
"Let's get started!"
With a thought, he pulled up the system panel.
He clicked [Start Simulation].
[March 16th, you begin researching a new skill—Destructo Disc. Between your research, you do not forget to deliver food to Broly.]
[March 18th, noon. After two and a half days, you successfully master the new skill—Destructo Disc! After delivering food to Broly, you continue to delve into it, hoping to increase its power!]
[March 30th, you continue to research the skill—Destructo Disc, finding it increasingly smooth to execute.]
[April 30th, you successfully double the power of the Destructo Disc.]
[May 30th, you successfully increase the power of the Destructo Disc by half and gain the ability to fire multiple discs at once.]
[June 11th, you increase the power of the Destructo Disc by another quarter. Not only can you easily fire and control multiple discs simultaneously, but you can also merge multiple discs into one Super Destructo Disc from a distance, or split each disc into three smaller ones.]
[July 1st, you begin to focus on cultivating the skill—Ki Control.]
[July 15th, you continue to cultivate the skill—Ki Control.]
[This simulation has ended!]
