Spirit Fruit

Laiya said, "What are you two doing? Have you considered the feelings of someone who has only mastered one secret technique? This is truly too much."

Gaino hurriedly replied, "Alright, alright, don't be angry, little sister Laiya. I won't say any more."

"By the way, Elder, you mentioned that your planet would face a disaster in the future. What kind of disaster is it?"

"It seems to be an invasion. I don't know which race it was, but they wiped out everyone on our planet Yardrat, then planted a tree on our world. This tree rapidly absorbed all the energy on our planet. Just as the world was about to be destroyed, a savior appeared."

As he said this, the Elder stared intently at Laiya and Gaino, making them feel a chill run down their spines.

Gaino thought to himself, Don't look at me like that. Looking at me this way reminds me of those homosexuals from before I transmigrated. That's exactly the look they gave each other.

Gaino hurriedly coughed and said, "Elder, since that is the case, let me remove this hidden danger for you!"

"I still need to train here for a while longer. Once I have mastered Instant Transmission, I will leave with Laiya to find those who threaten your planet."

"Very well, then go and train quickly!" the Elder said.

Another half a year passed, and Gaino had completely mastered Instant Transmission. His combat power had also grown to a terrifying level over these two years, reaching 500 million. If Gaino's estimation was correct, it wouldn't be long before he transformed into an Ancient Super Saiyan level 1. Laiya's combat power had also increased to 50 million. Gaino asked the system, and it replied: "Laiya's S-Cells are about to permeate her entire body; she only needs a moment of rage to transform into a Super Saiyan."

This was truly a double blessing.

Gaino and Laiya bid farewell to the people of Yardrat and the Elder, setting off to find the invaders who threatened the planet.

As they sat in their spaceship, Laiya asked, "Brother Gaino, how are we going to find those invaders? The universe is so big; we aren't going to search planet by planet, are we?"

Just as Laiya was saying this, Gaino sensed people fighting on a planet not far from their ship. Judging by their ki, it appeared to be two experts locked in combat.

Laiya had the ship approach the planet. "There are people fighting there; let's go watch the show."

Hearing that there was a fight, Laiya was instantly energized and hurried to pilot the ship toward the planet.

Before long, their ship landed, and Gaino and Laiya flew toward the site of the battle.

Upon arriving, Gaino and Laiya saw two aliens fighting—no, it should be called slaughtering. Their moves were exceptionally ruthless, the kind of combat designed to finish an opponent in one strike.

The ki of one of them gave Gaino a familiar feeling. Laiya remarked, "Why does the ki of that toad-man feel the same as the Demon Clan we encountered last time?"

Gaino said, "I was wondering why this ki felt so familiar! So it's the Demon Clan. What a small world!"

"Well, are you going to make a move, or should I?" Gaino asked.

"Of course I'll do it. You did it last time, so it's my turn now," Laiya said.

"Fine! You go ahead!"

Laiya called out directly to the two people who were locked in a heated battle, "Stop fighting! Didn't you see that guests have arrived?"

Both of them stopped simultaneously and looked toward Laiya.

The two had been too absorbed in their fight to notice that people had arrived nearby.

They couldn't detect Gaino and Laiya because, through their training on Earth, they had learned to control the ki within their bodies perfectly, without a single shred leaking out.

The toad-man sneered, "Where did these brats come from, daring to meddle in the affairs of Lord Gishu? Get lost, or I'll turn you into scrap!"

Gaino remarked, "Why are all the people of the Demon Clan the same? Always talking about turning people into cosmic dust or scrap? I remember the last person who said that is already dead."

"The last person? Could it be Angila? Did you kill Angila?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that Demon Clan member named Angila. He talked too much, so I killed him," Gaino said.

"Good! So it really was you. It seems that this time, not only can I obtain the Spirit Fruit, but I can also avenge Angila. If I bring your heads back to Lord Slug, he will surely reward me handsomely."

"Sigh, another person who talks too much. Laiya, hurry up and finish him; my ears are getting calluses from listening to him."

Laiya stepped forward and said, "I was going to play with you for a while, but it seems there's no time. Are you ready to die?"

The toad-man laughed loudly, "You say you can make me die? What a huge joke. You, someone with no combat power, actually want me to die?"

Gaino shook his head. It seemed the energy detectors of the Frieza force were a curse to those who used them.

As the toad-man was still laughing, Laiya's fist slammed heavily into his stomach. The toad-man spat blood and flew backward.

While his body was still flying through the air, Laiya flashed directly behind him and fired a Ki Blast that erased him from the planet entirely.

Having eliminated the enemy, Laiya looked at the native and asked, "That guy just said you have a Spirit Fruit here. What is a Spirit Fruit?"

The man trembled and said, "Are... are you here to snatch the Spirit Fruit too?"

The native knew clearly that anyone who could kill Gishu in one blow must be incredibly strong; otherwise, how could they have instantly killed one of Slug's top generals?

Gaino approached the native and said, "We aren't here to snatch the Spirit Fruit. We just want to know why Gishu wanted to steal it."

Hearing this, the native breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Because the Spirit Fruit can enhance a person's divinity and aid in cultivation, allowing for progress that covers a thousand miles in a single day."

"So Slug is stealing the Spirit Fruit to cultivate?"

"Yes. Our planet only has this one Spirit Fruit left. It hasn't grown yet; it's just a seed. This seed can only grow properly on our planet. If it is planted on other planets, the Spirit Fruit seed will rapidly absorb all the energy of that world, leaving it barren and eventually leading to its destruction."

Hearing this, Gaino recalled the Elder's words about a great tree absorbing all the energy of Yardrat. It seemed that was the Spirit Fruit seed.

The moment Laiya eliminated Gishu, Slug's subordinates reported his death. Slug ordered his men to push the engines to the limit, and his ship headed toward the planet where Gaino was at full speed.

Gaino still wanted to ask about the Spirit Fruit seed, but a massive ki instantly enveloped the entire planet. It seemed Slug had arrived. Since the main culprit was here, they might as well go and see him.

"Hey, keep the Spirit Fruit seed safe. Don't let it fall into the hands of Slug's men."

The native hurriedly nodded and then fled into the distance with the Spirit Fruit seed. Gaino and Laiya also flew toward the direction of Slug.
