This Skill Is Seriously Amazing

With three front teeth missing, Husu spoke, but Frieza couldn't understand a word.

What the hell was he saying?

Frieza's furious gaze turned icy, and a trace of murderous intent began to seep out. Husu was so scared that his legs nearly gave way.

His already enormous eyes bulged with panic, bloodshot from corner to corner!

Suddenly, Husu seemed to think of something. He hurriedly pulled a yellowed book from his storage space.

After checking that he had the right one, he quickly held it out in front of Frieza.

"The Nerve Book!"

Frieza couldn't help reading the title aloud. Thinking back to what Husu had said earlier, he seemed to understand a little.

He cast a Healing Technique, and Husu recovered from his injuries at astonishing speed, as if he'd eaten a Senzu Bean. Even the teeth he'd lost when he fell grew back.

Although he was surprised by the change in his body, Husu knew it had to be related to the green light that had flashed when Frieza casually waved his hand.

"King Frieza! This is the Nerve Book I just mentioned. It records the understanding of spiritual power held by a great figure from ancient times. Someone once learned the Time Skip technique from its contents!"

Time Skip!!

Frieza's eyes gleamed. This was an incredibly powerful combat skill. Hit had relied on Time Skip to dominate all of Universe 6!

Whoosh~

The yellowed book immediately flew into Frieza's hand. He opened it and was instantly dumbfounded.

The writing was crooked and completely unreadable!

"Are you sure you didn't just put a cover on some other book and call it this? Why are the three languages on the outside understood throughout the universe, but the inside is full of unreadable tadpole-like writing?"

Husu's legs had stopped shaking, his hands had regained their strength, and his speech had become perfectly clear.

"I didn't put that cover on it. My ancestors did!"

Frieza's face darkened. What the hell was the difference?

"Don't rush, King Frieza. You don't need to be able to read the book. Just put your spiritual power into it, and you'll naturally understand what's inside!"

Hmm~

This book really was a little crazy—and mysterious, too. The person who wrote it must have had an impressive command of spiritual power.

Frieza said nothing. He simply released his spiritual power. Even though he used only a little, it was enough to cover the book.

Husu thought that King Frieza really was incredible. He'd never formally studied the techniques for controlling spiritual power, yet he could immediately project it outside his body.

Judging by what Frieza had just done, his mastery of spiritual power was already extremely impressive.

Husu was giving Frieza too much credit. If the soul in Frieza's body hadn't come from another world, his spiritual power wouldn't have been this strong.

Frieza knew nothing about that. All he knew was that the Nerve Book really was a little crazy. Its contents would drive an ordinary person insane.

Fortunately, Frieza wasn't ordinary. He didn't go mad—instead, he learned Time-Skip and Lightning Flash!

Time-Skip was Hit's technique. Frieza had learned it, but he could currently control time for less than a thousandth of a second, making it pretty useless.

Lightning Flash wasn't as powerful as Time-Skip, but it made Frieza even faster, letting him truly move faster than lightning.

Time-Skip and Lightning Flash were actually a combination of techniques. While using Time-Skip to hide in the gaps between moments, Frieza could follow up with Lightning Flash. Even an opponent with twice the user's fighting power could be caught completely off guard.

Even the slightest advantage could change the outcome of a fight between experts.

"Not bad, not bad. Since this book of yours really is useful, I'll forgive your disrespect this time!"

Husu had guarded Frieza for a whole month. Afraid Frieza would wake up, find him gone, and fly into a rage, he hadn't dared take a single step away.

At long last, Frieza had finally woken up. If he'd slept any longer, Husu might have ended up living like a wild man.

"Huh? We've only been apart for a little while. How'd you end up looking like this?"

"King Frieza, a whole month has passed!"

Hmm?

That long?

"Fine. You've worked hard. I won't punish you this time. But if I find out you're hiding anything from me again, you know what will happen!"

"I know, I know! I'd never dare hide anything from you!"

Frieza left. Planet Yardrat was safe, and Husu fell ill~~

Back at Bulma's house, Frieza asked her outright:

"How's the research on that Time Machine going?"

Bulma jumped at Frieza's sudden appearance and replied irritably, "How could I possibly have figured it out? It's a Time Machine, not an airplane! I can't solve it. I can't even understand a lot of the data. Without proper notes, there's no way I can figure it out. At least, I can't do it yet!"

Bulma was quite disappointed by this herself.

"Give it to me. I'll take it to headquarters and have someone there study it!"

Frieza was a little disappointed, but he knew the Time Machine was complicated. He'd only given Bulma a month, which obviously wasn't enough.

As for when Future Trunks went home, Frieza didn't care. What did the future have to do with him?

"I don't have it. Conan already took it back, and he left in the Time Machine too!"

Frieza's eyes narrowed. His aura began to climb. He was angry and needed to vent!

If he couldn't vent that way, then he'd just have to destroy something!

"Hey, hey, hey! You were the one who said you'd study it for three days. It's been a whole month!"

Bulma didn't care if Frieza got angry. She hadn't done anything wrong.

Uh~

Bulma did have a point.

Damn Husu!

Whatever. Frieza was definitely not the one at fault.

Whoosh~

Frieza vanished!

Whoosh~

Frieza reappeared!

Frieza felt much better after returning, but Husu was in a sorry state. He wouldn't be getting out of bed for at least a year or two.

"Get me some delicious food!"

Frieza had no qualms about ordering Bulma around. She still owed him quite a bit in patent fees!

"Why don't you go to the restaurant? Someone's there to serve you twenty-four hours a day!"

Bulma wondered to herself: He eats but never seems to poop. Where does all that food go?

Frieza was actually curious about that himself. Where did everything he ate go?

Never mind. Strange things happened every year. This year, one had just happened at his place.

In the restaurant, Vegeta was stuffing himself. So much food had already run out that the kitchen clearly couldn't keep up!

Frieza was speechless.

Fortunately, this Saiyan wasn't picky. He mostly ate staple foods, unlike Frieza, who had completely different tastes.

"Frieza! I challenge you to a duel!"

After training in the Gravity Chamber for nearly a month, Vegeta's fighting power had skyrocketed to 500 million. He figured that he could teach Frieza a lesson now!

"Oh ho ho ho ho!"

"Mr. Vegeta, your confidence seems to have gotten a little out of hand!"

"Fine. I'll play with you after I finish eating. A little exercise after a meal sounds nice!"
