The First Super Saiyan Is Born!

"There's someone who's sensed ki..." Popo said woodenly from the side.

He couldn't help but marvel. As expected of aliens.

The fact that they were known as a warrior race meant they were terrifyingly formidable in battle. They'd gone from knowing nothing to mastering it in such a short time.

And it seemed the others were close, too!

Their own strength was one thing, but their ability to learn was just as astonishing. This race was certainly no weakling in the universe.

Popo thought to himself.

What he didn't know was that the Saiyans had long since been wiped out across the universe.

They were called a warrior race.

But that was nothing more than a name they gave themselves.

By the original course of events in the Dragon Ball World, the Saiyans were truly insignificant. If Son Goku hadn't forged a different path, they would have been no more than specks of dust in the universe.

As time passed,

all the Saiyans learned to sense ki. They didn't just adapt to it; they could control it, too.

Then they slowly opened their eyes, joy shining in them.

Only now did they truly understand why Mu Chuan had been able to unleash such terrifying power as soon as he mastered ki!

"So this is ki?"

"It really is amazing. I never imagined you could tell how strong someone was just by sensing them."

"This is much better than a Scouter."

Scouters had to be constantly upgraded, and if an enemy's battle power was too high, they would explode in an instant. They were completely impractical!

They were also easy to damage in battle, and sometimes they couldn't even get an accurate reading.

Once someone mastered ki,

the Scouter became nothing but a useless prop.

That was what they had learned after mastering ki.

"You've truly mastered how to control ki. From here on, you just need to get used to it, and you'll be able to control it perfectly."

Popo appeared beside them at just the right moment and spoke.

The Saiyans nodded. They had a great deal of respect for Popo.

Although the Black Charcoal Head wasn't very strong, he certainly had some real skills.

Athena suddenly stood up and said to Carl beside her, "I want to see how strong I am now. Use your Scouter to check for me."

"Scouters aren't very practical, but they can still give an accurate reading for people with low battle power like us."

"Okay!" Carl replied solemnly. She wanted to see how much their battle power had increased after mastering ki, too.

She wasn't the only one. All the Saiyans were intensely curious.

Once Athena was ready, she immediately began powering up!

In an instant, the Heavenly Temple began to tremble. The shaking wasn't as violent as when Mu Chuan powered up, but it was still astonishing to an ordinary person.

Beep beep beep beep beep...

The Scouter beeped frantically.

At last, Athena's battle power settled at its peak.

Carl looked astonished. She'd expected this, but seeing the actual battle power right in front of her still felt incredible.

Was this the result of mastering ki control?

"Carl, how much is it?"

"Don't keep it to yourself. Sharing the joy makes it even better, so hurry up and tell us."

While Carl stood there in shock, all the Saiyans were already eagerly waiting. They could hardly contain themselves.

Athena was just as eager.

Before, her battle power had only just passed 10,000. What was it now?

Then Carl's voice rang out.

"23,000!!"

"23,000 battle power."

In that moment,

the expressions on everyone's faces changed visibly. Her battle power had more than doubled.

Did that mean...

their battle power would be about the same?

Only now did they truly understand how terrifying ki control was. It let them unleash the true power within their bodies.

The Scouter's readings hadn't been wrong, but the power they controlled had always been hidden inside them. Normally, they could only bring it out when they were pushed to the brink.

But once they mastered the use of ki, they could unleash their peak battle power whenever they wanted.

It was a truly wondrous ability.

The others immediately began thanking Popo, since he was the one who had taught them to use ki.

At the same time,

as the Saiyans mastered the use of ki, something unprecedented was happening inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber!

Once Mu Chuan's base battle power reached its peak, it became very difficult for him to improve further through training alone.

Even the Sign-in System could raise his battle power only very slowly.

Eventually, his battle power reached a terrifying 11 million—a truly astonishing figure, and that was only his base battle power!

With Great Ape Power alone, he could reach 100 million battle power.

And that was nothing compared to his Pseudo Super Saiyan transformation.

That was even more incredible!

But now that his base battle power had reached 11 million, he knew that further improvement would be extremely difficult.

Then he tried to stir up his emotions. At first, he recalled the Saiyans being wiped out, but the more he thought about it, the less it affected him.

He felt no disturbance at all!

Although he had Saiyan blood, he was ultimately a transmigrator. He couldn't feel the same way the others did.

In the end, that approach failed.

Then, on a sudden inspiration, he began remembering all kinds of things from his previous life—not just the miserable life he'd led, but all the cold stares he'd endured, too.

Gradually, his ki began to explode!

He didn't even notice that as he powered up, a faint golden light was flickering around him, its color slowly changing.

But he still hadn't noticed...

He kept recalling one thing after another. They were things he'd personally experienced, so he felt them all the more deeply!

"Aaaaaaaah!!!!"

"Damn it, I don't want to live like this anymore! I don't want to be at the mercy of others!"

"I'm going to become the one everyone looks up to!"

"I'll make up for everything I missed in my previous life in this one!"

"I'm going to live a brilliant life!"

He roared out his deepest feelings. He'd tried his best to hide them, but they were what he truly felt.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have endured the loneliness and trained so hard. He might have done it to survive in the Dragon Ball World, but he truly wanted to live a brilliant life.

To become the one everyone looked up to!

And to take control of his own life.

It was a simple wish, yet in his previous life, it had always been beyond his reach. His grief and fury turned into strength, and his ki surged to its peak in an instant.

The entire Hyperbolic Time Chamber began to shake.

Then, with a roar, Mu Chuan's hair turned golden. Golden light enveloped his entire body, and his eyes grew icy cold.

A trace of violent emotion flickered in them.

This was a Super Saiyan!

The first Super Saiyan had officially been born!
