That was also why Vegeta had said in the training room that when he transformed into a Golden Great Ape, he hadn't successfully transformed into a Super Saiyan 4. He knew his power wasn't enough. Bulma had said that after training for a while, his power had increased considerably.
Then he would be able to transform successfully. Although he would achieve this form with the help of a machine that emitted Super Blutz Waves, it still showed that to transform into a Super Saiyan 4, one's own power had to reach a certain level.
Son Goku in the GT Era was at least ten times stronger than Son Goku now. After all, he was ten years older than the Son Goku of this era.
Even without any life-or-death battles, Son Goku had had ten extra years of training. His battle power increasing by only twice as much each year was actually a conservative estimate.
Lei Chen reckoned that even if Son Goku at that time could only transform into a Super Saiyan 3, his power would still be at least ten times greater than Son Goku's current power.
That meant at least ten trillion in battle power.
But Lei Chen now had an idea: if he borrowed the energy of a Super Saiyan God and combined it with Super Blutz Waves, he ought to be able to transform into a Super Saiyan 4.
And he had a tail, unlike Vegeta in the story, who couldn't transform into a Super Saiyan 4 at will because he had no tail.
At that thought, Lei Chen suddenly stood up. His black hair flashed and turned gold as he transformed into a Super Saiyan 1!
Next, another layer of lightning crackled around him. Bolts like golden snakes appeared and darted about as he transformed into a Super Saiyan 2.
Brilliant light grew more and more intense around Lei Chen, shining dazzlingly. Electricity surged up from Lei Ge's feet, and Lei Chen's hair began to grow longer.
"Lei Ge didn't have to roar loudly like Son Goku to transform into a Super Saiyan 3. Lei Chen's expression remained calm as he increased his energy.
But the veins in his neck stood out and his cheeks twitched, showing that the transformation wasn't easy. Lei Chen's hair grew thicker, his bangs extending forward, while several locks from the back fell over his shoulders and others reached down behind his waist.
Super Saiyan 3.
Suddenly, golden light flashed. Lei Chen successfully transformed into a Super Saiyan 3. His battle power surged from three hundred billion as a Super Saiyan 2 to one trillion two hundred billion. His strength was now on par with Son Goku's in this era.
"What incredible power! Lei Chen can transform into a Super Saiyan 3 now?"
Son Goku could also transform into a Super Saiyan 3, so he naturally understood the power of this state. Vegeta's power had actually reached the level needed to transform into a Super Saiyan 3, too, but Vegeta pursued strength and paid little attention to the level of his transformations. That was why he couldn't become a Super Saiyan 3.
Son Goku, on the other hand, had learned from so many gods and received guidance from so many Kai that he had managed to transform into a Super Saiyan 3.
Lei Chen often meditated and comprehended the laws of the world. So, once his power was high enough, he could naturally transform into a Super Saiyan 3.
"Damn it!"
In the training room, Vegeta felt Lei Chen's power suddenly surge. He trained even more furiously.
"If I transformed into a Super Saiyan God now, my power should be around twenty-two trillion."
Lei Chen murmured to himself. A Super Saiyan God was twenty times stronger than a Super Saiyan 3. If he borrowed the energy of a Super Saiyan God, perhaps he really could transform into a Super Saiyan 4.
