Broly and Bardock's First Clash

After Gaino and the others finished their meal, they departed from the planet. Broly followed behind Gaino, glancing back at the planet from time to time; having lived there for quite a while, he felt a lingering sense of reluctance at this sudden departure.

"Let's go! The place I'm taking you to is dozens of times better than this. It has pleasant scenery and beautiful landscapes—it's a rare gem, and more importantly, it is the true home of us Saiyans," Gaino said to Broly.

"Mm, let's go!" Broly looked at Gaino and Laiya.

"Broly, give me your hand." As Broly placed his hand in Gaino's palm, Laiya naturally rested her hand on Gaino's shoulder. Gaino activated Instant Transmission, and they arrived at Planet Saiyan.

Before Broly could even adjust, they had already reached Planet Saiyan. Seeing such a beautiful place, a smile appeared on Broly's face.

After all, Broly was still just a child, and children are always full of curiosity, aren't they?

He looked here and touched there. The moment Gaino appeared, every Saiyan on Planet Saiyan sensed the energy radiating from Gaino and Laiya. However, the unfamiliar energy coming from Broly made everyone feel a sense of oppression.

The Ancient Saiyan Bloodline was inherently superior to that of ordinary Saiyans, so Broly's presence exerted an invisible pressure on everyone.

The first to appear before Gaino and Laiya was Bardock. Bardock was truly a prodigy in martial arts; in a short time, his combat power had surged to 100,000. This was something he could never have imagined before—100,000 was the combat power of the former King Vegeta. He had now reached that level, all thanks to Gaino's Gravity Training.

Bardock approached Gaino and said, "King, you have returned."

Gaino nodded.

Before long, all the Saiyans had gathered before Gaino. Seeing that everyone's energy had increased brought great comfort to Gaino.

Even his own father and mother had seen their combat power rise to 70,000, and Gaino's mother's combat power had reached 50,000. He remembered that when they first left Planet Vegeta, their combat power had barely reached 30,000; now, they had seen a massive improvement.

Bum approached Gaino and gave a slight bow. Gaino gave a symbolic nod; since they were in front of all the Saiyans, there had to be some decorum.

Bum asked Gaino, "King, who is that kid?" Bum pointed a finger at Broly.

Gaino said to Bum, "This kid is Paragus's son. Dad, don't you remember him?"

"Paragus? Oh, I remember now. Paragus's son was born with a base combat power of 10,000, which made King Vegeta very worried, so he banished Paragus's son to a remote planet."

"But wasn't he banished? Every Saiyan on Planet Vegeta saw it; there couldn't be a mistake, right?"

"There is no mistake; he was indeed banished. But I had Laiya settle them on an inconspicuous planet because I saw potential in this little guy's combat power."

Bum looked at Broly, sensing a powerful, berserk energy within his physique.

Bum remarked, "This little guy is strong—stronger than any of us."

Gaino said, "This little guy is named Broly. His current combat power should be around 100,000. Among you all, I estimate only Bardock could put up a fight against him."

"Bardock? Has Bardock's combat power really reached 100,000 after this month of Gravity Training?"

Gaino replied, "That's right, Bardock's combat power has now reached 100,000."

"I knew it. Back when Bardock and I were on the same team, I could tell he was a gifted Saiyan. At first, his combat power wasn't very high, but the more missions he participated in, the faster his power soared. Eventually, Bardock became the main striker of our squad."

"Who would have thought? He has surpassed me now. It seems I haven't been pushing myself hard enough. I need to train harder, or the gap between this kid and us will only grow, and he'll be looking down his nose at me in the future."

"It seems you are a competitive person too, Dad."

"What kind of talk is that? Saiyans always strive for strength, and I am no exception."

Gaino raised his voice and said to all the Saiyans, "From now on, Broly is a member of our Saiyan race. We must all treat Broly like our own family. Does everyone understand?"

All the Saiyans replied to Gaino, "Understood, King."

At this moment, Bardock was staring intently at Broly; it was clear that Bardock wanted to spar with him.

"Since that's the case, I'll help make it happen."

Gaino said, "Broly, come here for a moment."

Broly walked up to Gaino and asked, "What is it, Brother Gaino? Is something the matter?"

Ever since Broly had tasted Gaino's roasted meat, he had followed Laiya's lead in calling Gaino "Brother." He felt this brother was quite kind. Gaino couldn't be bothered to correct what Broly called him; it didn't matter.

"Broly, how about you have a spar with that uncle over there?"

"Sure! But I can't control my power very well. What if I lose control?"

Gaino said, "Broly, you must remember that the key to controlling power lies in the heart. If your heart intends to control it, you can control the power within your body."

"Okay, I'll try."

Afterward, Broly said to Bardock, "Uncle, Brother Gaino said I should have a spar with you. How about it?"

Bardock was eager for exactly that! Being able to encounter an opponent of equal strength made his heart burn with excitement.

Bardock said, "Come on, let's go to the arena."

Everyone on Planet Saiyan was drawn to the battle between Bardock and Broly.

On the arena, the two stood facing each other from a distance.

Broly instantly flared his energy and moved at extreme speed toward Bardock, throwing a punch. Bardock used his arms to block, but Broly's strength was immense; the force of the punch sent Bardock sliding backward.

"This kid is something else! My turn to attack." Bardock also flared his energy, reached Broly, and swept his leg out. Broly blocked the attack with one hand, then turned his hand into a claw, clamped onto Bardock's ankle, and exerted force, throwing Bardock away.

Bardock's body traced a dark shadow in the air. He flared his energy again; he didn't intend to hide his strength anymore. His combat power soared directly to 100,000, shocking all the low-level Saiyans.

Bardock said, "Kid, you're pretty good. Now, you'd better be ready for this." Bardock fired a ki blast toward Broly.

Seeing Bardock's energy surge, Broly began to flare his own. Unexpectedly, his energy erupted too high, and the berserk power within him became uncontrollable. Broly's eyes turned white, his hair flew wildly, and he charged straight at Bardock, shattering the ki blast upon impact.

Seeing this, Gaino flashed behind Broly and knocked him out with a single chop to the neck.

Gaino said, "Let's stop here for today! Everyone, disperse."
