So-called Techniques, Son Goku's Arrival.

"Seriously, why aren't they here yet? I've been waiting until the flowers have withered."

Looking at the dinosaur leg in front of him that was only seared on the surface, He Lingxuan felt a trace of impatience.

The violent energy within his body suddenly surged from his hand, instantly reducing the entire dinosaur leg to dust.

Suddenly slapping his forehead, He Lingxuan remembered that he hadn't deactivated his Humanoid Great Ape Transformation. Just now, seeing the dinosaur leg wasn't cooking, he had thought about using his energy to heat it up, but the violent energy had simply vaporized it.

After deactivating the Humanoid Great Ape Transformation, He Lingxuan continued to try using his energy to heat and roast the dinosaur leg; after all, roasting it slowly over a fire was far too slow.

But without a doubt, this dinosaur leg was also reduced to dust.

Just then, He Lingxuan's expression suddenly turned serious, as if he were determined to roast the entire dinosaur leg with his energy today.

Amidst attempt after attempt and failure after failure, even the dinosaur legs were running out, yet He Lingxuan still hadn't succeeded. However, what surprised him was that through these constant attempts, his control over his own energy had reached a new level.

At this moment, the system's notification sound echoed in his mind again.

"Ding, detected that the host's operation of energy has reached the 'Rough' level. The Technique template has now been unlocked; please check it yourself."

?

What the hell? I was just roasting a dinosaur leg, how did I unlock a new template?

"Ding, this template is unlocked when the host's mastery of energy is barely passable. As a result of the host constantly using Ki Blast during combat, the mastery of your own energy was extremely poor, not even reaching the 'Rough' level."

Hearing He Lingxuan's inner confusion, the system replied directly, and these words made his face turn black.

"Is my control over energy really that bad?"

With this doubt, He Lingxuan opened the system panel, preparing to see what this so-called Technique actually was.

[Infinite Upgrade System]
[Host: He Lingxuan]
[Age: 19]
[Current World: Dragon Ball World (???)]
[Combat Power: 100,000 points (can be increased)]
[Talent: Advanced Saiyan Bloodline (cannot be increased), Advanced Physique Talent (cannot be increased, fused with all physique talents), Humanoid Great Ape Transformation (cannot be increased)]
[Technique: Rough (only about 10% utilization of own power, can be increased)]
[Skills: Ki Blast +3 (can be increased), Ki Wave +3 (can be increased), Flight Technique +3 (can be increased), Ability Theft (cannot be increased)]
[Upgrade Points: 5050 points]
[Items: None]

Looking at the newly added Technique under skills, He Lingxuan roughly understood what was going on.

This so-called Technique was likely the degree of mastery over one's own power, much like the martial arts training of the characters in the original Dragon Ball series, which was a form of developing and utilizing their own strength.

It was just that he was an outsider who had only relied on brute force, so he didn't feel ashamed that he could only exert 1/10th of his power; after all, he could still work hard to cultivate (add points).

"System, add points! Max out the Technique for me!"

He Lingxuan said directly to the system in his mind.

"Ding, received. Now consuming all Upgrade Points to strengthen..."

"? Wait, why all the Upgrade Points? Does this thing consume that much?"

Just as He Lingxuan's exclamation left his lips, he saw that his Upgrade Points had returned to zero. At this moment, he felt a pang of heartache; after all, it was the result of his hard work for so long, and it had been used up like flowing water in an instant.

"Ding, strengthening complete."

"Technique 'Rough 10%' has been strengthened to 'Entry-level 60.5%'."

The moment the strengthening was complete, He Lingxuan felt that his control over the energy within his body and the power he could exert had been greatly improved. It was no exaggeration to say that the current him could easily defeat several versions of himself from before the strengthening.

"Is this what a Technique is? Over 5,000 points increased my combat effectiveness by several times; that's really not bad. And if I'm not mistaken, no matter how much my combat power skyrockets in the future, I'll at least be able to maintain 60% of my potential."

After thinking it through, He Lingxuan felt that 100 Upgrade Points to strengthen 1% of the Technique was a great deal.

After all, if one's combat power increases too much in a short time like others, their control will drop. A typical example is Son Goku in the early stages versus Son Goku in the Dragon Ball Super era; although the gap in combat power is huge, their level of utilization of their own power is different.

Only a cheat like Ultra Instinct allows the user to exert 100% or even more of their power. Otherwise, because of the explosive increase in combat power, Son Goku's fine control over his own energy in the Dragon Ball Super era is definitely not as good as it was in the Z era.

But He Lingxuan was different. Because of the existence of the system, once the Technique advances to a certain realm, it will not regress, no matter how much his combat power increases—even if it skyrockets dozens or hundreds of times in an instant.

He wouldn't be as violent as Son Goku and the others when they transform into Super Saiyans, where they are unable to finely manipulate their energy, and the consumption also increases.

Just as he was thinking about the issue of Techniques, He Lingxuan suddenly looked up toward the distant horizon and muttered to himself, "Are they here? It seems my luck isn't too bad."

High in the sky, thousands of meters up, Son Goku felt the previously terrifying aura gradually shrink and converge. He frowned slightly but continued to fly toward the place he sensed.

Not long after Son Goku flew past, Piccolo followed closely behind. Sensing Son Goku not far ahead, Piccolo revealed a subtle smile that was hard to detect; perhaps even he himself didn't know it.

As for Krillin and the others, due to their strength, their speed was naturally much slower than that of Son Goku and Piccolo.

Feeling the much easier-to-control energy within his body, He Lingxuan picked up a dinosaur leg to heat it, and this time he succeeded; the dinosaur leg was roasted perfectly.

So, holding a dinosaur leg in one hand, he began to feast; after all, anyone would be hungry after fighting for so long, let alone a Saiyan like him.

After eating until he was about seventy percent full, He Lingxuan put down the half-eaten dinosaur leg and looked at an orange figure flying down from the sky.

It was Son Goku, clad in the Turtle Hermit School martial arts uniform!

The moment Son Goku touched down, He Lingxuan keenly sensed the extent of his strength.

It seems the timeline is set shortly before the arrival of Raditz?

He Lingxuan deduced this from Son Goku, whose aura possessed a combat power of only a few hundred.

That shouldn't be much of a problem; he had plenty of time to develop and grow. Given enough time, he wouldn't even put the likes of the galactic emperor Frieza, or even a God of Destruction, in his eyes.

Perhaps only the level of an Angel would be troublesome, but even Angels could not act as they pleased.

Just then, a system notification caused He Lingxuan to perk up immediately.

"Ding! Detected one of the protagonists of destiny, Son Goku, Saiyan name Kakarot, in your vicinity. Mission now issued..."
