Becoming a Super Saiyan

From the moment Sun Wumian entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, nearly twelve hours had passed on Earth.

"Goku, that's enough training for today. Let's rest for the night and leave tomorrow." Sun Wumian could tell that after spending two months in here, Goku was nearing his limit.

According to the system, Goku's power level had now surpassed 300. The results were pretty good.

As for Sun Wumian, his own power level had risen from three million to 3.5 million.

"Brother Wumian, could you fight me at full strength just once? We've sparred often over the past two months, but it's obvious you haven't been giving it your all."

"Full strength? Sure! Then I'll show you something cool."

"Hyahhhhh!!!"

Sun Wumian's eyes first turned pale green. A flash of lightning crackled, his hair and eyebrows turned golden, and all his hair except his bangs stood on end. A golden aura blazed around him.

That's right—he had transformed in an instant into the legendary strongest warrior in the universe: a Super Saiyan!

"What an incredible aura..." Sun Wukong shielded his eyes with both hands. Standing so close, he could barely breathe under the pressure of the Super Saiyan's aura.

In fact, the system had been playing a trick on Sun Wumian earlier. The truth was, once his power level reached 3.5 million, he could transform into a Super Saiyan.

It wasn't actually necessary to be enraged. His Saiyan blood was equivalent to that of Universe 6's Saiyans, and he had always been calm and steady, which suited him for a burst of S-Cells and rapid growth.

Vegeta, on the other hand, had a bad temper, was restless and extremely battle-hungry. That was why he couldn't become a Super Saiyan until his base power level later surpassed four million.

"Goku, this is what a Super Saiyan looks like. If you keep training hard, you can do it too, because you're a pure-blooded Saiyan."

"Yeah, I will. One day, I'll surpass you." Sun Wukong clenched his fists, brimming with determination.

West City, Capsule Corporation.

"Hi, Bulma's mom. How's the spaceship Bulma and I asked you to modify coming along?" When Sun Wumian arrived at Bulma's house, she seemed to have gone to school, so he asked Mrs. Brief.

"Oh, if it isn't the handsome young Wumian! What brings you here so soon? Bulma's dad only just started working on the spaceship. We only got it back yesterday."

Oh, right. In reality, only half a day had passed. Of course it couldn't be ready that quickly. Sun Wumian had gotten confused.

"Oh, never mind, then. I'll go borrow the Dragon Radar from Dr. Brief."

Vroom, vroom...

Just then, Bulma came back on her flying motorcycle.

"Huh, Wumian? Weren't you going to train? How did you finish after just one day?" Bulma asked in surprise.

"Yeah. I went to train somewhere that had one year pass for every day."

"One year for every day? There's a place that amazing?"

"Yeah, you'll find out about it later. By the way, Bulma, can I borrow the Dragon Radar?"

Sun Wumian wanted to find the Dragon Balls so Shenron could send him to Planet Yardrat, where he could learn Instant Transmission. He'd wanted to learn such a ridiculously useful technique for ages.

Having Bulma modify the spaceship was for the return trip. Planet Yardrat was so far away that he definitely wouldn't be able to sense Earth's energy from there. He'd have to rely on the spaceship to get back.

"The Dragon Balls? Are you going to gather them and give them to me so I can make a wish?"

"Huh? Of course not. I'm going to make my own wish." Sun Wumian shook his head without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I already know who your prince charming is. You don't need to make a wish for that." Seeing Bulma's crestfallen look, he knew that wouldn't do—she had the Dragon Radar, after all—so he added that.

"Enough! How can you just say something like that? You... I'm sure now. You're not him."

Bulma grumbled, but still brought out the Dragon Radar.

With the Dragon Radar in hand, Sun Wumian set off to gather the Dragon Balls. He'd already asked Goku for the Four-Star Ball, so he only needed six more.

Half a day later, he had gathered all the Dragon Balls. He then stayed at Bulma's house for a while, getting a taste of life as the world's richest man.

Three months later, the spaceship was finally ready.

"This is the artificial gravity device. As you requested, it can reach a maximum of 300 g." Inside the spaceship, Dr. Brief introduced it to Sun Wumian.

After looking everything over, Sun Wumian was very satisfied. It had not only artificial gravity but also a full set of other equipment, including a stereo system.

"Dr. Brief, sorry for the trouble."

"Heh, it's no problem. This gives me a chance to learn about Saiyan technology, too."

"Hey, shouldn't you thank me as well?"

"Haha, thanks for all your hard work, Miss Bulma."

"By the way, Wumian, which planet are you planning to fly to in this spaceship? We'll need to enter its coordinates in advance." Bulma suddenly remembered and asked.

"A planet called Yardrat. The coordinates? I don't know them. You guys should know, right?" Sun Wumian asked uncertainly.

"Yard-whatever? I've never even heard of it. How would we know?"

"I see. But don't I only need to know Earth's coordinates? I'm just using the spaceship to come back from there."

"Sun Wumian, are you stupid? How can you get back without the coordinates of your starting point? That's common sense." Bulma scolded him.

"Is that how it works?" Damn, I studied the humanities. How was I supposed to know about this kind of math?

"Forget it. It's like talking to a brick wall. Now you need to find out the coordinates of the planet you're going to. Otherwise, with Earth's current level of technology, this spaceship can only reach planets in the Solar System, or take you back to the place it originally came from."

The place it originally came from? Planet Vegeta? Frieza had destroyed it long ago. Wait, he could ask North Kai about this. He could learn Kaioken while he was at it.

Though he couldn't use Kaioken while transformed into Super Saiyan 1, 2, or 3, he could use it later as a Super Saiyan God—that was to say, as Super Saiyan Blue.

"Okay, I'll go ask someone. By the way, Dr. Brief, could you modify the spaceship a bit more if possible? Add video games, a movie camera, and a ping-pong table."

Maybe that was the Turtle School's philosophy: exercise well, study well, play well, eat well, and rest well.

Sun Wumian left them with those words, then prepared to ask Fortuneteller Baba for help. To reach North Kai's planet, he had to go to Other World through Fortuneteller Baba and cross Snake Way.
