Arriving on Namek

Ever since Gaino told Laiya about the Super Saiyan, she had been full of drive, training desperately every day and challenging Gaino to spars from time to time.

To be honest, Gaino regretted telling Laiya about the Super Saiyan. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have been better off keeping it to himself! This was a real headache for Gaino, as he could no longer train on his own.

However, it was fine; by sparring with Laiya every day, his own combat power was constantly increasing. Although the growth was a bit slow, Gaino was very happy in his heart to see his power steadily rising.

Gaino and Laiya had adapted to 50 times gravity. This gravity room no longer posed any pressure to them. Now, Gaino and Laiya turned the gravity to the maximum, and they could still fight continuously inside as if they were walking on flat ground.

After adapting to 50 times gravity, Laiya's combat power had increased to 6 million, while Gaino's had increased to 12 million. This made Laiya quite unhappy, but whenever she thought about how she could transform into a Super Saiyan, she felt wonderful.

Gaino was also curious why Laiya couldn't transform even though her combat power had reached 3 million.

On this day, the system's voice emerged. With a "ding," it announced, "This system has detected the host's distress, so this system has automatically awakened."

"May I ask what the host is worried about?"

Talk about a timely arrival.

"System, I want to ask, isn't it true that one can transform into a Super Saiyan once their combat power reaches 3 million? Why can't Laiya transform yet?"

System: "Although Laiya's combat power has reached 3 million, the S-Cells within her body have not undergone the necessary transformation."

"S-Cells? What are S-Cells? Does the Saiyan transformation into a Super Saiyan have something to do with S-Cells?"

System: "Of course. When a Saiyan's combat power reaches 3 million, if their S-Cells permeate their entire body, they only need a catalyst to transform into a Super Saiyan."

"A catalyst... oh, I see. It's anger. Anger is an important reason for a Saiyan to transform into a Super Saiyan."

"Then, can you check how many S-Cells Laiya has in her body right now?"

System: "Laiya's S-Cells currently account for 70% of her body. She is still 30% short of being able to transform into a Super Saiyan."

"Alright, I understand. If I may ask, I possess the Ancient Saiyan Bloodline; can I transform into a Super Saiyan?"

System: "Yes, you can!"

Hearing this, Gaino jumped up, but the system's next words poured a bucket of cold water over him.

System: "The Ancient Saiyan Bloodline can transform into a Super Saiyan, but it is not called a Super Saiyan; it is called an Ancient Super Saiyan. To transform into an Ancient Super Saiyan, the host's base combat power must reach 100 million."

Hearing this, Gaino's expression wilted instantly. 100 million base combat power? Isn't the requirement for an Ancient Super Saiyan transformation a bit too high?

System: "The Ancient Saiyan transformation is divided into Ancient Super Saiyan 1, Ancient Super Saiyan 2, Ancient Super Saiyan 3, Ancient Super Saiyan 4, Ancient Super Saiyan 5, Ancient Super Saiyan 6, and the normalized Ancient Super Saiyan 7. When the host can reach the normalized Ancient Super Saiyan state, the host should already be the pinnacle figure of this world."

That is good news, at least. Once I reach the normalized Ancient Super Saiyan state, I might be able to go toe-to-toe with Grand Zeno.

System: "Then the host must work hard. This system is going to sleep; please do not disturb me unless necessary."

I didn't expect a system to have such a temper.

System: "What is the host saying? I haven't gone to sleep yet!"

"Uh, uh, then please rest quickly. I won't disturb you." Gaino immediately backed down.

The system went silent.

It seems my path is still very long. I am still far from my goal! I have to work hard; I am still over 80 million away from 100 million combat power! I must hurry and increase my base combat power.

The spaceship flew for more than half a year before finally landing on Namek. When Gaino arrived on Namek, the Namekians sensed Gaino, because Namekians are also capable of sensing ki.

The hatch opened, and Gaino and Laiya stepped out of the spaceship. They saw green houses, green trees, and green Namekians. Truly, the environment shapes the people. No wonder Piccolo is a green guy!

Gaino and Laiya walked out of the ship, their bodies hovering as they sensed everything around them. Laiya said, "This planet is so beautiful! If only our Saiyan planet were like this too."

"We Saiyans aren't suited to live on such a beautiful planet. You know how bellicose we are. If we lived on a planet like this, wouldn't we just destroy it?" Gaino said.

"That's true. Saiyans are born for battle. Look at the people here; everyone has a happy smile on their face. It's like they don't have a single worry."

"Namekians love peace. They never actively invade other planets, and they are very kind to their own kin."

"The way you say that, it's like we Saiyans are inherently evil. We are just bellicose. Every time we went on a mission, it was King Vegeta who assigned it, and we couldn't refuse, so we invaded other planets. We aren't bad by nature."

"But in the universe, we Saiyans are notorious."

Just as Laiya was about to speak, a person who looked exactly like the Guardian said to her, "Who are you people, and why have you come to our Namek?"

Gaino said, "We have come to see your Grand Elder. Please announce our arrival."

"See our Grand Elder? The Grand Elder isn't someone you can see just because you want to. Leave at once!"

At this moment, another person appeared and said to Gaino, "Guests from afar, our Grand Elder invites you in."

"What are you doing, Nail?"

Gaino cupped his hands and said, "Many thanks."

The Namekian said, "The Grand Elder asked me to find you. Please follow me."

Oh, so the Grand Elder knew I was coming.

"The Grand Elder is omnipotent," Nail said.

Gaino and Laiya followed Nail to a tall green house. The Grand Elder was inside. "Please, come in."

Gaino and Laiya walked in and saw a large Namekian sitting there, his massive frame occupying two-thirds of the room. Gaino said, "Sorry to disturb you, Grand Elder."

The Grand Elder said, "Guests from afar, why have you come here?"

"I would like to ask the Grand Elder to unlock my potential. I wonder if you would be willing."

"Very well," the Grand Elder said.

"Then come here! Stand before me."

Gaino pushed Laiya in front of the Grand Elder and said, "Grand Elder, please unlock my sister's potential first!"

The Grand Elder nodded.

Laiya stood before the Grand Elder, and he placed his large hand upon her head. Before long, Laiya's energy began to surge upward.

When Laiya's combat power reached 10 million, the Grand Elder removed his palm from the top of her head.

The Grand Elder said, "Her potential has been unlocked. Now, let me unlock yours."

"Then I shall trouble you, Grand Elder," Gaino said.
