Looking at that earth-shaking power, all the Saiyans present were instantly fired up. Having no goal and no hope was the most helpless and despairing state of all!
But now, their leader had shown them the way!
Besides...
The path was already laid out before them. If they still couldn't do it, then the problem lay with them!
Mu Chuan put away his Great Ape Power and took a few shallow breaths. It was true that it could increase his power level tenfold.
But it also consumed stamina!
If he couldn't adapt to it, he would be at a disadvantage in battle!
"Looks like knowing Great Ape Power isn't enough. I need to get more familiar with it. Otherwise, if I use it in a fight, I might not be able to hold out for long!"
Using it this time had revealed a weakness.
Once he discovered a weakness, he wouldn't put off fixing it. He planned to make the necessary adjustments right away and keep practicing with Great Ape Power. Once his body got used to it...
He'd be able to stay transformed for longer!
After that, he explained the method and the process in detail to all the Saiyans.
Once he'd finished teaching them, he picked up his Gravity Equipment and headed to the other side of the planet. His power was simply too great, and he was worried he might affect the others.
Besides, every time he transformed into a Great Ape, it caused an enormous disturbance!
The farther away he could get, the better!
After that, Mu Chuan kept testing how long he could hold out. Whenever he used Great Ape Power, he pushed himself to his limit.
This was not only helping his body adapt; it was also pushing his potential. In his view, Saiyan bodies could take a serious beating.
Besides, he had a special skill!
Limb Regeneration!
That was his safety net. Losing an arm or a leg was no problem. As long as he didn't die outright, even that could become a source of strength!
As the terrifying, frenzied power came roaring from afar now and then, the Saiyans exchanged glances.
At that moment, they all felt an immense pressure.
"Our leader is training so hard. How can we slack off?"
"If we don't grow stronger, we won't be able to help our leader at all. We're still far too weak!"
They used to think they were quite powerful, but after Mu Chuan had explained things to them, they realized just how ignorant they'd been.
They'd actually thought a power level of over 10,000 made them incredibly strong!
Now that they'd come to their senses, they wished they could spend every hour of the day in the Gravity Chamber!
Of course...
Mastering Great Ape Power was also extremely important.
So, while all the Saiyans worked furiously to raise their power levels, they also tried to master Great Ape Power whenever they had time.
The one obstacle they found especially difficult to overcome was that they couldn't regain their sanity after transforming into Great Apes.
That was the challenge they needed to overcome for now!
Once they did, they would truly master Great Ape Power!
Even without mastering it, though, their power levels continued to rise!
Gradually...
Ten days passed.
Every Saiyan's power level had broken 10,000. It was an astonishing feat; any one of them was now on par with King Vegeta in his prime!
But they didn't let it go to their heads. If anything, they trained even harder!
Their leader was still pushing himself to the limit on the other side of that desolate planet, despite wielding such terrifying power.
His example spurred them on every moment of the day.
Meanwhile.
On the other side of the distant universe.
Inside the Frieza Force.
Frieza asked Zarbon for an update, a rare occurrence.
"How long has it been? Those wandering Saiyans should have reached the edge of the universe by now, right?"
Zarbon lowered his head.
"It's been over a month. They reached the edge of the universe some time ago, but..."
"They've been on an uninhabited planet. According to the Scouter readings, they seem to have been training this whole time!"
"What's more, all the Saiyans' power levels have risen rapidly. The latest readings show that every one of them has a power level of over 10,000!"
"They're already on par with King Vegeta in his prime!"
You never knew until you looked—and then you got the fright of your life!
Even Zarbon had only just learned the news. The moment he heard it, he knew they were in trouble!
If their strength had stayed the same and they'd kept wasting their potential, content to live like lazy fish, Frieza might have left them alone!
But now...
Their power had skyrocketed so quickly, and in such a short time, every last one of them had reached a power level of over 10,000!
That was bound to attract Frieza's attention!
Sure enough!
Frieza pressed down harder with his foot. The ground rang out sharply, then split with countless cracks.
"Oh-ho-ho-ho..."
"Interesting! This is really interesting!"
"They've reached a power level of over 10,000 in such a short time, and every one of them has done it!"
"Very good, wouldn't you say, Mr. Zarbon?"
At that, Zarbon and Popolia fell silent. They served Frieza often and knew his personality better than anyone.
He was definitely angry now!
And his wariness had grown considerably!
Perhaps the rumor passed down through the Frieza Race was already running through his mind!
Super Saiyan!
If even those low-class warriors had power levels of over 10,000, then surely the wandering Saiyan they'd rescued was even more terrifying?
Could he become a Super Saiyan?
Frieza couldn't be sure, but even the possibility was enough. He would never let such a thing happen.
Silence settled over the ship's cabin.
After a long while, Frieza finally spoke in a measured voice. "They want to train, do they?"
"Perfect. Training alone won't do. They need a training partner so they can get used to their own strength!"
"Mr. Zarbon! Mr. Popolia!"
"Send their coordinates to Cooler. Tell him that my army is stationed on this desolate planet. If Cooler dares to let the Armored Squadron cross the border again..."
"Then he'd better not blame me for what I do!"
Zarbon and Popolia exchanged a glance, both unable to stop themselves from drawing in a sharp breath.
The lord was indeed angry!
And now he was using someone else to do his dirty work!
He wanted to use King Cooler to deal with those Saiyans, while also sending King Cooler a warning.
Neither dared disobey. They followed Frieza's orders at once.
First, they sent a warning, along with the exact location and coordinates.
Cooler, far away at the edge of the universe, received Frieza's warning.
