A 'WTF' Training

One week after arriving at the training camp, Karochi was speechless.

Although he never held high hopes for the Saiyan training methods, he never imagined in his wildest dreams that the training method at this pathetic camp was simply "getting beaten up."

Yes, exactly the literal meaning of getting beaten up! Damn it, over a hundred young Saiyans were pummeled by ten adult Saiyans for an entire day!

Good grief, it was absurd; everyone was bruised and swollen by the end! It was only thanks to the adult Saiyans holding back that half of them didn't die on the first day.

By the afternoon, Karochi had cautiously asked the instructor, "Don't we have any other training programs?"

The adult Saiyan looked at Karochi as if he were an idiot and replied: This is the best way for a Saiyan to grow. Many life forms in the universe grow through this kind of training.

Oh, I see! No wonder Saiyans have the trait of gaining a massive boost in strength after being saved from the brink of death; it turns out this is a passive skill they start grinding from childhood? It's just ridiculous.

"Heh! It's a good thing Saiyan bodies are sturdy enough, otherwise, how could you guys play around like this—hiss, that hurts!" Karochi complained after returning home, only to gasp as he accidentally pulled at his wounds.

To be fair, compared to Earth, this training method was like heaven and earth. Although the average Earthling's combat power was only five, they trained scientifically! Unlike the Saiyans, who didn't care about anything else and just started beating people up, and insisted on doing it for three years—it was simply absurd.

Grrr... grrr!

His wretched stomach started growling again, and Karochi had to drag his injured body to cook! No matter how badly injured he was, he had to eat, right? Especially with a Saiyan's stomach that could never be filled.

Days turned into weeks, and Karochi spent his time getting beaten up. It had some effect, but only a tiny bit! Karochi had no choice but to customize a set of heavy combat gear for weighted training.

Three years later!

Thank goodness, the nightmare days were finally over! After three years of training, the combat power Karochi displayed reached 375, about the same as other intermediate warriors.

However, through his own weighted training—especially since the gravity on Planet Vegeta was ten times that of Earth—his combat power had already reached 1,054! It could be said that he far exceeded his peers in the training camp.

Of course, he certainly couldn't show this! Otherwise, he would likely attract the attention of King Vegeta. Being too outstanding was definitely not a good thing; after all, when Broly was born with a combat power as high as 10,000, King Vegeta had him exiled to a desolate planet immediately.

You can be excellent, but you cannot threaten King Vegeta's position, or you will be eliminated all the same.

Of course, the most gratifying thing wasn't the increase in combat power, but that in the second year, after much inquiry, he found the home of Goku—that is, the home of Bardock and Gine.

It was only last month that news of Gine's pregnancy spread. According to known information, Bardock already had a son named Raditz—the very Raditz who uttered the classic line, "A piece of trash with a combat power of only 5."

Then this pregnancy must be Goku, also known as Kakarot. And not long after Goku was born, Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta! Karochi only needed to leave Planet Vegeta within this year to perfectly avoid this catastrophe.

Oh, the prerequisite was to dismantle the locator and wiretap on the spaceship he was going to take! These weren't installed by Planet Vegeta, but by Frieza's men.

Frieza had always feared that a Super Saiyan would be born among the Saiyans and had been searching for one! He wanted to break the legend left behind by Chilled by defeating a Super Saiyan.

For convenience, Karochi used his parents' points to buy a spacecraft—only the single-person kind, of course! He handed it over to a retired alien scientist, using his family's lives as leverage to force him to remove the wiretap and transmitter from the craft.

Naturally, he also had the one on his combat tracker removed! As for that family, they were, of course, humanely eliminated. Don't talk to me about morality or right and wrong; in this world, surviving is what's right.

In this world of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, there is no right or wrong. Whoever has the bigger fist and higher combat power is right.

Karochi didn't throw away the removed transmitter; he put it inside the ship so it would pass inspection! Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to enter the launch port.

Karochi went to the management office and accepted a mission to wipe out all life on Planet Horta. Planet Horta was an intermediate planet. According to the classification of planets in the universe, planets with a maximum combat power below 1,000 were classified as low-level, those between 1,000 and 10,000 were intermediate, and those above 10,000 were high-level.

Originally, this mission required multiple people, at least a team of two. But after some social maneuvering by Karochi, the mission was successfully assigned to him alone.

Laughable. If there were another person, how could he escape? Of course, he could have just killed the other person, but logically speaking, Karochi preferred not to cause unnecessary slaughter if he could avoid it! After all, this world really had a King Yemma, and if things went wrong, he might end up in hell himself.

Karochi's departure didn't alert anyone. He hadn't made friends with any Saiyans in the training camp. Although he wanted to notify Gine and Bardock, Gine was one thing, but Bardock was a very warlike Saiyan.

Moreover, he valued Saiyan honor more than anything; trying to persuade such a person was meaningless and easily exposed him! If he were caught by Bardock, he would be done for.

Although Bardock was a low-level warrior, his combat power was as high as 12,000, belonging to the "rise of the underdog" template.

Karochi wasn't stupid enough to set his target on Earth from the start; he set it for Planet Horta. After all, the transmitter was still in the ship, and going directly to Earth would reveal a deviation in his trajectory.

"One month, huh!" Karochi smacked his lips. It took a month to get from Planet Vegeta to Horta, and during this time, Karochi entered sleep mode.

After all, a single-person spacecraft like his couldn't carry food. Entering hibernation not only killed time and slowed down physical aging, but it also avoided the trouble of eating, drinking, and excreting.

One month later, Planet Horta!

Karochi had woken up an hour early. The violent impact with the ground didn't make him feel much discomfort! According to his original plan, Karochi intended to transfer from Horta to Earth.

But grrr... grrr!

Karochi couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was truly something that he could consume so much energy even after sleeping for a month! "Forget it, let's get something to eat first. Fill my stomach before setting off!"

Stepping out of the spacecraft and securing it, Karochi flew into mid-air and turned on his detector! His perception of ki wasn't accurate enough yet, at least not as precise as the detector for locking on!

Whir, whir, whir! A string of numbers appeared on the detector.

241... 328... 179... 684... 896

"Hiss, good grief! No wonder it required a team of two or more! This is already very close to the level of an intermediate planet." Seeing units with combat power close to a thousand, Karochi couldn't help but gasp. If he really only had the 375 combat power he displayed, he would have turned around and headed for Earth without a second thought.

But his combat power was now 1,071—he had gained another 7 points during that month! He wasn't afraid at all and picked the one with a combat power of 328, which was also the closest.

Karochi flew directly toward it. If it was a humanoid creature, he would just leave! If it wasn't... heh! Then don't blame him for being impolite.

Thinking of a delicious meal, Karochi's tail couldn't help but wag involuntarily.

"Tsk tsk! Why does this thing look so much like a dinosaur?" Seeing the creature, Karochi couldn't help but look it over with curiosity. To be fair, it looked a bit like the Overlord Dragon he had seen in his previous life.

ROAR!

The dinosaur-like creature, having sensed Karochi, roared directly at him, and energy began to condense in its mouth!

"Oh? Not much combat power, but quite a temper, huh?" Karochi didn't indulge it and vanished from its field of vision with a flash.

BANG!!! Awoooo~~~!

Karochi flashed in front of the creature and unleashed a punch, sending it flying with a pained yelp! Its body was blasted hundreds of meters away, snapping trees and shattering boulders all along its trajectory! The massive cloud of dust and the thunderous impact sent the surrounding animals scurrying away in terror.

Reappearing before the creature, he saw it was already on the verge of death! Karochi didn't bother with further torture; he finished it off with a single blue energy blast, which also conveniently cooked it to medium-rare.

He removed the two hind legs, skewered them, and roasted them for a while. It was a good thing he had brought some basic seasonings, or else it would have been truly hard to swallow! The meat of this big guy was incredibly tough and kept getting stuck in his teeth.

Feeling about eighty percent full, Karochi stopped eating! Damn it, he was saving his appetite for the delicacies on Earth.

To be fair, Saiyan are gluttons who don't know how to eat; they consume massive amounts at every meal, but the food quality is usually mediocre!

No wonder they managed to piss off Beerus!! One had to remember that Beerus had appeared on Planet Vegeta shortly before its destruction. The sight of Beerus stepping on King Vegeta back then had left a deep, traumatic shadow on the Saiyan.

If Karochi's guess was correct, Frieza's destruction of Planet Vegeta was likely orchestrated by Beerus anyway!! Of course, none of that had anything to do with him.

Having eaten his fill, Karochi took flight and climbed back into his space pod!! His target this time was Earth, and since he had discarded his tracker and listening device, he had nothing to worry about.

Karochi's pod came and went in a flash; he hadn't even stayed on Planet Horta for a full day before taking off again toward Earth! This trip would take longer, half a year, so Karochi entered a state of hibernation without a second thought.

The pod traveled at high speed along its set trajectory, its long wake cutting through the starry sky!!
