"Uncle Paragus, what's your power level? Mine was 5001 when I was born," Wang Yang asked curiously. He hadn't understood Saiyan language in the incubation pod, but now that he did, he recalled the staff's words and knew his birth power level.
"Bastard!" Heat rushed to Paragus's face, turning it crimson with rage. He felt the brat was mocking him, a low-class warrior, and that someone who had just been born had a higher power level than him after a lifetime.
This feeling was truly... truly... so shameful!
Paragus, furious, lunged at Wang Yang in space with all his might, but Wang Yang was as slippery as an eel, and he could never catch him.
"I might not be able to beat you right now, but you can't catch me either," Wang Yang chuckled.
"Broly, go catch him," Paragus angrily ordered Broly, who was on the ground watching the two with curiosity.
"Broly, don't listen to him," Wang Yang immediately shouted at Broly.
Broly looked at the two of them blankly.
"I'm your father, you listen to me, go catch him now," Paragus said, annoyed.
"I'm your big brother, you listen to me, don't listen to him," Wang Yang said with a smile to Broly.
Broly became confused and ignored both of them.
Hmph!
Paragus felt like his treasure had been tainted, and he was extremely annoyed. Seeing that he could do nothing about Wang Yang, he snorted and stopped.
Night fell, stars dotted the sky, and Paragus lit a campfire.
"Broly, say 'Daddy'!" Paragus was playing with the young Broly.
"Da...ddy..." Broly's speech was unclear, stumbling over his words.
"Good boy!" Paragus was overjoyed and kissed Broly.
Broly was not only his hope but also his emotional support.
Wang Yang's gaze passed over the flames, glanced at Paragus, and then moved away.
While Paragus's side was filled with laughter and joy, Wang Yang curled up, quiet and reserved.
Accepting one's circumstances, his previous life had been difficult, and there was nothing to miss.
Now that I've arrived in this strange place, how should I conduct myself from now on? Wang Yang pondered his future path. For now, they were getting along peacefully, but as time went on, Broly would lose control of his power and go berserk. If he were accidentally killed, it would be terrible.
Moreover, he couldn't stay on this planet forever; he wanted to go out and see the wonders of the universe.
The temperature difference on this planet was not large, the air was fresh, and Wang Yang estimated the gravity to be only one-tenth of Planet Vegeta's, making him feel relaxed from the inside out. It was a very habitable planet.
Saiyans had excellent physical fitness; even as infants, they didn't seem uncomfortable sleeping outdoors in the night wind.
The next day, before dawn, Wang Yang was already awake. He was now on a small mountaintop, exercising.
997, 998, 999, 1000.
Wang Yang's small body was doing push-ups.
Phew!
"That's enough for today. A small body can't handle too much strenuous exercise," Wang Yang said, his small face slightly flushed as he wiped the sweat from his brow, a knowing smile on his lips.
This amount of exercise was unimaginable in his previous life; now, doing a thousand repetitions didn't even tire him out.
As soon as Wang Yang returned to the camp, he saw Paragus roasting a large fish.
"Kafra, where did you run off to so early in the morning? I thought a beast had snatched you away," Paragus said indifferently, throwing a piece of wood into the fire as Wang Yang returned.
"If I were snatched away by a beast, you'd be happy too, Uncle Paragus," Wang Yang retorted with a roll of his eyes.
"Th-that's impossible. There are only three Saiyans left now. I bear the responsibility of reviving the Saiyan glory, so how could I bear to see you get hurt?" Paragus blurted out, then immediately thought of something and looked at Wang Yang with a smile.
This guy's birth power level is 5001. Although it's not as high as Broly's, it surpasses other Saiyans. As long as I subdue both him and Broly, making them my right and left hands, conquering the universe will be much easier. Paragus schemed in his heart.
I'd have to be an idiot to believe you, Wang Yang thought, never believing this guy was truly benevolent.
"Uncle Paragus, don't call me Kafra anymore. It sounds terrible. Call me Wang Yang," Wang Yang said, his small face scrunched up. Wang Yang was his name from his previous life; after using it for over twenty years, it was still uncomfortable to suddenly switch to an unfamiliar name.
"Whatever you say. You can even call me 'Little Bastard,' I don't care," Paragus said with a shrug and a casual smile.
Broly stared intently at the roasted fish, his mouth slightly open, drool trickling down the corner of his lips.
After the fish was cooked, the three Saiyans, like hungry ghosts, tore into the fish meat and devoured it.
The large fish was consumed at a visible rate.
Clang!
Paragus threw a huge fish bone onto a rock, patted his belly, and stood up.
"I'm full. You two, come with me. We're going to conquer this planet." Paragus immediately reverted to his Saiyan nature.
"I can go with you, but you can't kill innocent people," Wang Yang said. He was well aware of the Saiyans' nature; it was impossible to stop them from conquering planets unless they could be beaten into submission, at which point they would obediently listen.
However, Wang Yang was still an infant, his body very frail. Even though his ki was higher than Paragus's, he would be at a significant disadvantage in a real fight.
Give me a year or two, and once my body is stronger, I'll beat the crap out of you, Wang Yang narrowed his eyes as he looked at Paragus.
"Enough with the nonsense. If we don't slaughter these people, how are we supposed to conquer the planet? You are completely unworthy of being an elite Saiyan; your immense combat power is a total waste." Paragus let out a cold snort, his heart filled with jealousy toward this fellow who possessed power from birth that he himself could never hope to reach in a lifetime.
"I said, we can take the planet, but we cannot slaughter the innocent." Wang Yang's small face darkened, his gaze cold as he looked at Paragus; in his eyes, the extinction of all life on a planet was an unforgivable atrocity.
Carrying the values of his past life, he could not accept the indiscriminate killing of the innocent.
Paragus gritted his teeth in fury, suddenly finding this fellow incredibly detestable. Was it truly a wise choice to try and subdue him as a top general under his command?
"If you don't want to follow, then don't come. I refuse to believe that Broly and I cannot conquer this planet without you." Paragus's expression was as gloomy as water, and he immediately took Broly by the hand and soared into the sky.
Wang Yang remained silent. In his perception, the strongest ki on this planet was not even one-tenth as high as that of Paragus.
Sigh!
A white aura enveloped Wang Yang, and with a whoosh, he shot off in pursuit of Paragus.
