Burst Bombardment

Gaino soon arrived at Laika's laboratory. Seeing Gaino, Laika hurried over and asked, "Lord Gaino, is there something you need, coming to see me so late?"

Gaino took out a Senzu Bean and said to Dr. Laika, "Laika, take a look at this. Can this Senzu Bean be cultivated using scientific technology?"

Laika took the Senzu Bean, examined it, and replied, "I can try. Please rest assured, Lord Gaino, I will certainly do my absolute best."

"Hmm." Gaino nodded and said to Laika, "I trust your work. Here, Laika, have another Senzu Bean as a reward. The effect of this bean is that no matter how severely injured you are, as long as your heart hasn't been pierced, eating one will restore you to peak condition."

"It's that powerful?" Laika asked.

"Yes, that is the function of the Senzu Bean, which is why it is so precious."

"So it's that incredible? Lord Gaino, I must experience its effects personally to understand its properties, so I can better cultivate it."

Gaino asked, "Are you sure you want to test the effects of the Senzu Bean?"

"Yes," Laika nodded.

"Fine! I shall satisfy your request," Gaino said.

Laika's mind went blank—how was he going to satisfy it? Just as he thought this, Laika felt a heavy blow to his abdomen. A mouthful of blood sprayed out instantly.

It was Gaino who had struck, but the move was so fast that Laika hadn't even seen it before he was critically injured. Laika felt his life force rapidly fading away.

Gaino picked up the Senzu Bean from Laika's hand and fed it to him. In an instant, Laika was back on his feet, full of energy. Recovered, Laika asked, "Lord Gaino, was that you who attacked me just now?"

Gaino stated bluntly, "That's right! I only gave you a light punch. I didn't expect your body to be so fragile; one punch nearly killed you."

"That is because Lord Gaino's strength is far too immense. How could my small frame withstand a punch from you?"

"But I didn't see you attack? How did I end up collapsing?"

"Not seeing the attack is normal. It's because, with your current strength, you cannot perceive my movements. My punching speed is simply too fast for the naked eye to track."

"Well, do you feel the effect of the Senzu Bean? You were on the verge of death just a moment ago, and now you're full of life. That is the power of the Senzu Bean."

"Yes, Lord Gaino, I felt it and experienced its power. However, could you give me a few more?"

"Oh, don't worry, Lord, I am not being greedy. I need to use scientific technology to break down and analyze the Senzu Bean to observe the principles of its composition."

"Rest assured, it's just a few beans. Experiments require specimens, after all. Here, take them."

Gaino handed Laika ten Senzu Beans directly.

"I have only one requirement: cultivate something with the same efficacy as the Senzu Bean."

"Understood, I will cultivate it. Please rest assured, Lord Gaino."

Having settled the matter, Gaino left Laika's laboratory.

Returning to his castle, Gaino looked at Laiya sleeping on his bed, shook his head, and headed straight into the bathroom to shower.

It seems this little girl is truly exhausted. Sigh, I'll wash up and get some sleep too.

After showering, Gaino walked toward his side bedroom, treading lightly for fear of waking Laiya. Gaino slept until dawn, rose, washed up, and then stepped out of the room.

Upon coming out, he saw that Laiya was still asleep. Gaino walked over and woke her up.

"Laiya, Laiya, wake up quickly. What time do you think it is? Still sleeping?"

Laiya crawled out of bed, looking at Gaino with sleepy eyes, and said, "Brother Gaino, it's still early, isn't it? Can I rest a little longer?"

"Get up quickly. You call this early? If we want to become strong, we must be more diligent than others. If we slack off, we will soon be surpassed. There are many powerful beings in the universe; we must strive even harder."

Hearing that she might be surpassed, Laiya wouldn't have it. How could she be surpassed by others? In this world, aside from Brother Gaino, no other Saiyan could surpass her—absolutely not.

Laiya hurried to get up, washed quickly, and came before Gaino, saying, "Brother Gaino, I don't want to be surpassed by anyone. Let's go, let's go train now."

Gaino and Laiya left the castle. Gaino sensed the ki of the Saiyans on Planet Saiyan and felt that all of their ki had increased significantly. But what surprised him even more was that Bardock could now withstand the pressure of 30 times gravity.

"Laiya, sense Bardock's ki."

Laiya sensed it and exclaimed, "This Bardock is something! In such a short time, he's actually adapted from 20 times gravity to 30 times. It's truly incredible."

"See? I told you Bardock shouldn't be underestimated. Let's go, we need to train too."

Gaino and Laiya used Instant Transmission to arrive at the barren planet they had visited before and began their arduous training.

Time passed quickly, and a month went by. Gaino and Laiya had been training on this planet for a full month.

At this moment, a golden aura erupted from Laiya's body, while opposite her stood Gaino, who was also powering up. Although Laiya had transformed into a Super Saiyan, judging by their ki, Gaino's aura was far more immense than that of a Super Saiyan.

Waves of energy surged outward, and the barren planet trembled under the vibration of Gaino and Laiya's ki. Laiya charged at Gaino, flashed instantly before him, lowered her body, and threw an uppercut. Seeing the incoming strike, Gaino extended one hand to block her attack.

Laiya continued to exert force, launching a barrage of attacks, but all of her airtight strikes were blocked by Gaino with a single hand. Seeing that she couldn't take him down with such attacks, Laiya threw a side kick, but Gaino pivoted his body, dodging the strike.

Laiya then fired an energy blast at Gaino, but Gaino swatted it away with a wave of his hand.

With a loud boom, the deflected blast pulverized a distant mountain peak.

"Take this! Let's see you handle this," Laiya shouted, powering up instantly. "Eat this: Star Burst Annihilation!" This was Laiya's ultimate technique.

"Heh, good girl, going for the big move, are you? Fine, then feel this—an attack technique I've developed during this time." Gaino gathered ki rapidly in both hands, two energy spheres appearing in his palms. He shouted, "Eat this: Burst Bombardment!" The two energy spheres fused rapidly and blasted toward Laiya's Star Burst Annihilation.

To everyone's surprise, Laiya's Star Burst Annihilation shattered the moment it touched Gaino's Burst Bombardment. Watching the super-powered attack barreling toward her, Laiya stood there stunned. In this moment of crisis, Gaino used Instant Transmission to appear before her, grabbed her waist, and vanished from the spot.
