Return to Planet Vegeta

The energy blast engulfed the native, instantly reducing him to planetary dust. After finishing the native, Gaino's energy blast streaked toward the mountain behind him; with a thunderous boom, the entire peak was razed to the ground.

Watching this scene, Gaino said in astonishment, Is this the application of ki? So powerful! He then burst into loud, maniacal laughter.

"Haha, hahahaha! There is finally ki within my body. I can finally sense the existence of ki. This feeling of power makes me intoxicated."

At this moment, the system's voice rang out.

System: Host, do not get too carried away. Your current strength is still very weak. This universe is vast, and you are but a speck of dust within it. Do not become too arrogant.

Hearing this, Gaino immediately stopped his laughter. Right, right, right. I must not become arrogant due to a momentary increase in combat power; I still need to work hard. As of now, I can't even defeat King Vegeta of Planet Vegeta. King Vegeta's combat power is 100,000, while mine, after fusing with the Ancient Saiyan Bloodline, is 10,000. There is still a significant gap.

Speaking of which, what kind of bloodline is the Ancient Saiyan Bloodline? I only know that the most powerful bloodline in Dragon Ball is the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline. That bloodline is incredibly strong; take Broly, for example—even if he just lies there, the ki in his body rises rapidly. I wonder how this Ancient Saiyan Bloodline compares? Gaino mused.

The system's voice replied: Please do not compare the trashy Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline with the Ancient Saiyan Bloodline; the two are incomparable. The Ancient Saiyan Bloodline is extremely powerful. If the host can develop it to its limit, you will become the most powerful existence in this world.

Hearing this, Gaino's heart rate accelerated. He muttered, "The most powerful existence in this world? Does that mean even the Omni-King, the supreme ruler of the universe, would be no match for me?"

"You could say that," the system said.

Holy crap, is it really that strong? This Ancient Saiyan Bloodline is simply too powerful.

System: The host has already fused with the Ancient Saiyan Bloodline. If there is nothing else, this system will enter sleep mode. Please do not disturb me unless necessary.

Gaino asked, "Can I make one small request?"

System: What is the host's question?

Gaino said, "Can you hide my ki? I don't want to be too flashy."

System: Understood, no problem. The issue has been resolved. The system will automatically pop up if there is a mission. The system is now entering sleep mode.

Gaino felt the ki within his body being suppressed. Good. Now, let the training begin!

Gaino flared his aura and, with a whoosh, found a cave to stay in temporarily. His mission was complete, and since he still had time, he needed to make the most of it to train.

Unknowingly, a month passed in training. Gaino was currently practicing, throwing punches and kicks while constantly shifting his form in the air. Suddenly, he quickly condensed an energy blast in his hand and fired it out. With a loud boom, the ground was blasted into a massive crater.

Looking at his handiwork, Gaino shook his head and said, "Still not good enough. My ki has been rising steadily over this month, but my application of it is still too crude. It seems I need to go to Earth."

That place has master-level figures whose application of ki has reached the pinnacle of perfection—people like Master Roshi, Korin, and Mr. Popo, the servant of the Guardian. Their understanding of ki is truly profound.

Saiyan training is too simple and brutal, and their use of ki is even rougher. They love constant bombardment, using massive explosions to finish off enemies. That fits the Saiyan personality, but it consumes too much stamina and prevents sustained combat; their endurance is too short.

Gaino floated back into the air and suddenly flared his aura. A gale rose, sand and stones danced, and he released his full ki. Gaino made a rough estimate: his combat power should have reached 20,000. Truly terrifying. In just one month, it grew to 20,000. This Ancient Saiyan Bloodline is indeed formidable.

Gaino opened his palm and rapidly condensed power, channeling all his internal ki into his hand. He wanted to test just how powerful his ultimate attack was. The energy sphere grew rapidly, and just as Gaino compressed it to its smallest point, he fired it toward the ground. With a thunderous explosion, the surface of the planet was blasted open, triggering volcanic eruptions and churning seas.

"Hmm..."

It seems I went a bit overboard this time. My energy blast pierced the core of the planet. Gaino quickly flew to his spaceship, tapped the controls to lock onto Planet Vegeta, and clicked launch. The ship shot off into space.

Just one minute after Gaino flew away, the entire planet exploded. Watching the destruction of the planet, Gaino felt a lingering fear.

He swallowed hard. Planet destruction is too terrifying. With my current strength, I wouldn't be able to survive in a vacuum, but I have gained a new understanding of my combat power.

After a week of flight, Gaino finally arrived at Planet Vegeta. Seeing the planet before him, a strange emotion welled up in his heart, for his father, mother, and younger sister were there—there was family on this planet. Although Saiyans generally lack familial affection, Gaino's family was an exception.

The ship finally landed at the docking port. Seeing someone return from a mission, everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of the person.

The hatch opened and Gaino stepped out. Seeing him, everyone widened their eyes, thinking their vision was playing tricks on them. They blinked, and upon seeing clearly that it was indeed Gaino, they were stunned. Who would have thought? This Saiyan, who wasn't even considered a low-class warrior, actually returned alive.

Saiyan missions are usually life-or-death, so Gaino's return meant his strength had increased. They checked their scouters, which displayed a combat power of 10. No way! He survived with that kind of power? Although it's an increase from his previous combat power of 0, it's not much of an improvement, is it?

How strange. Gaino didn't care what they thought. He walked straight to the mission registration office, logged his completed mission, and ran toward his home. He couldn't fly, as that would arouse the suspicion of King Vegeta. He needed to accumulate strength and not act rashly.

Once his strength surpassed King Vegeta's, he would no longer need to hide. He would personally challenge King Vegeta and become the new King of the Saiyans.
