Half a Year of Training Has Arrived

Saiyans grow stronger the more they fight; if we can endure this, so can they. Laiya, training is no place for half-measures. If you cut corners today, you will only regret your lack of focus when you face a real enemy.

That's right, Brother Gaino is correct. We must not be dishonest in our training.

Everyone focused on moving their feet, and slowly, they felt their steps quicken. Gradually, they were able to run and jump.

Seeing this, Gaino remarked, "It seems they have adapted to this pressure."

"Good. Since everyone has adjusted, let's pair up for combat training. Laiya and I will observe your fights and provide guidance from the sidelines."

Everyone found their opponents, and naturally, Bardock sought out Broly.

Ever since Broly learned to control the ki within him, Bardock had frequently sparred with him, yet he had never once emerged victorious.

Bardock shouted, "Broly, come on! Our contest isn't over yet!"

"Fine! Let's go!"

Bardock and Broly erupted with power, charging toward each other.

Both threw heavy punches, and with a loud bang, a powerful shockwave exploded between them, sending the nearby trainees flying backward.

"Can't those two keep it down?" everyone complained. "How are we supposed to train like this?"

Someone replied, "You know how they are. They go crazy once they start fighting. Even though it's just sparring, they always end up bruised and battered."

"True. Sigh, forget them, let's keep training! The King is still watching. We shouldn't miss this chance to be trained by the King himself. I believe that after this, I'll definitely become an elite-class warrior."

Someone nearby scoffed, "Pfft, you? You want to be an elite warrior? I'm the one who will become an elite warrior."

"Oh? Not convinced? Then let's fight!" And just like that, another battle began.

Gaino was pleased to see this. He wanted to foster this competitive spirit, as it was the only way for their combat power to grow continuously.

The battle between Bardock and Broly raged on, the sound of impacts echoing constantly. Saiyans had a natural affinity for the feeling of fists meeting flesh, but Gaino's requirement was simple: combat must be swift and direct, with no wasted movement.

Gaino's voice rang out, "Broly, what are you doing? Can't you see the opening on Bardock's left? Attack his left side!"

Hearing Gaino, Broly shifted his stance, throwing a punch toward Bardock's face. Bardock raised his arms to block, but it was a feint; Broly followed up with a roundhouse kick to Bardock's left. Bardock couldn't block in time and was sent flying.

Watching Bardock get kicked away, Broly said, "Brother Gaino is truly amazing. He spotted Bardock's flaw at a glance."

While Broly was distracted, Bardock seized the moment, flashing behind him. "You dare lose focus while fighting me?" he said, delivering an elbow strike that sent Broly flying forward.

Gaino quickly cheered, "Well done, Bardock! You must never lose focus in battle. Teach Broly a lesson—let him know that a fight is a fight, and there is no room for even the slightest slack."

Bardock watched Broly fly forward, darted ahead of him, and cupped his hands. "Energy Blast, here it comes!" A white wave of energy erupted from his palms.

Seeing Bardock use an energy blast, Broly stopped holding back. He exploded with power, halting his momentum, and unleashed his own energy attack. "Take this, Super Wave Attack!" A green beam of energy roared toward Bardock.

The two energy waves collided, and the pair began a beam struggle, both pouring out their internal ki, desperate to overpower the other.

They remained deadlocked, neither able to gain the upper hand. Suddenly, Gaino appeared at the center of the collision. He stepped into the energy waves, raised his hands, and forcibly separated the two blasts.

Gaino immediately activated the Spirit Devouring Technique, absorbing both Bardock and Broly's energy into his own body. He felt his base combat power increase slightly.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned. Such a powerful energy attack had been neutralized just like that.

Gaino said, "Beam struggles are meaningless. My goal is for you to inflict damage on your opponents, not to rely on energy blasts or endless beam contests."

"Now, both of you, attack me together! I don't believe I've made a move since I became King. Let me show you how it's done."

"Attack me with everything you have, and I will point out your shortcomings."

Bardock and Broly teamed up against Gaino. As they reached him and threw their punches, Gaino watched their movements and said, "Too slow, and lacking force. Let me show you what a real attack feels like."

With a glare, he activated Time Skip. In an instant, Broly and Bardock had been struck dozens of times. Their bodies hunched over as they coughed up blood.

Gaino had actually held back; he only wanted them to experience the true weight of an attack.

In the moment they were struck, only one thought crossed their minds: His punches are so heavy. Gaino is so strong.

The others were dumbfounded. Gaino hadn't even moved from his spot, yet Broly and Bardock were already severely injured. There was only one explanation: Gaino was too strong, and his speed was so fast that they couldn't even track his movements.

"Good. Now, the rest of you, come and spar with me."

Under this brutal training, they endured until the very last day.

On that day, everyone stood in formation with serious expressions, waiting for Gaino to speak, as their six-month training period had finally concluded.

Gaino looked at the people standing before him with great satisfaction. Through his and Laiya's rigorous training and guidance, their combat techniques and tactical thinking had improved immensely. Everyone's combat power had soared to 500,000—a level they never would have dared to imagine before.

Others had gone even further: Broly's power had skyrocketed to 3,000,000, Bardock's to 1,600,000, while Bum and Tasha reached 1,300,000 and 1,100,000 respectively.

It seemed Broly's Legendary Saiyan potential had been fully awakened. His growth from 100,000 to 3,000,000 had shocked everyone.

"I am very pleased that you all survived this training. This is what it means to be a Saiyan; we are a race that constantly breaks through its limits."

"Training is officially over. Let's head home."
