Guidance!

"Soya, your strength is truly overwhelming. Especially after transforming into a Super Saiyan, your power far exceeds our own."

Son Goku looked at Soya and spoke with a helpless sigh; faced with such a massive gap in strength, he had no choice but to concede.

"Whether one is a Saiyan or anything else, the primary goal of combat remains experience and base-form power. As long as a person's base form is strong enough, they can unleash unimaginable power even without transforming."

Soya smiled, sharing his perspective.

Being flattered felt quite good, and he enjoyed it, but his words were not without merit.

The reality was indeed just as he said.

"What you say makes a lot of sense, but base-form combat power isn't so easy to improve, nor can it be achieved in a short amount of time. I really don't know how you train. You don't look very old—you even seem younger than Vegeta and me—so how could you possess such formidable power?"

Son Goku spoke with a look of confusion. He had always been puzzled by this point, and he took this opportunity to voice it.

Soya shook his head, offering no answer.

Soya glanced into the distance, his thoughts turning toward departure.

After all, there were too few people on Earth who could capture his interest, and those who could pose a threat to him were virtually non-existent.

Moreover, he had arrived a bit late. By this time, both Android 18 and Videl were already married.

"Soya, do you know about the Dragon Balls?"

Son Goku noticed Soya's intent, but instead of trying to stop him, he brought up another topic to capture his interest.

"The Dragon Balls?"

Soya paused, then nodded after a moment.

"Naturally, I know of them," Soya affirmed. How could he not know about the Dragon Balls?

Though he didn't quite understand Son Goku's motive, he spoke up nonetheless.

"We are currently searching for the Dragon Balls. Bulma's birthday is coming up soon. Since you don't have anything else to do, why not stay on Earth? It would be a perfect chance for you to see the Earth's Dragon Balls for yourself. If you have any wishes you'd like to see fulfilled, you can use the Dragon Balls to grant them."

Son Goku looked at Soya, casting his bait.

Vegeta nodded from the side; clearly, on this point, his thoughts were rarely in sync with Son Goku's.

"Very well. I'll see if the power of these Dragon Balls can satisfy some of my wishes."

Soya nodded, not refusing Son Goku's request, and agreed to stay on Earth for the time being.

In truth, Soya didn't care much for the Earth's Dragon Balls.

The only reason he chose to stay on Earth now was because someone else would be arriving before long.

The appearance of that person was the primary reason Soya decided to remain on Earth.

"With my current strength, even transforming into a Super Saiyan 4, I fear I would be no match for Beerus. I wonder when Beerus will arrive. Before that happens, it would be safer for me to make a trip to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. The flow of time there makes it a perfect place for training!"

Soya muttered to himself, then looked at Son Goku.

"Son Goku, I want to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber."

Soya glanced at Son Goku, knowing that if he went to Kami's Lookout to request entry into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.

Although Soya didn't care about such things, having Son Goku take him along would save him from any needless complications.

"The Hyperbolic Time Chamber?"

Son Goku was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Soya, but he did not refuse the request.

"No problem, I can take you there right now."

Son Goku nodded, feeling that letting Soya enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber wasn't a troublesome matter at all.

"By the way, Soya, since your strength is already this high, you surely have more than just one Super Saiyan transformation, right?"

Son Goku suddenly thought of something and asked as he looked at Soya.

Since he had already witnessed Soya's transformation, Son Goku wanted to see just how terrifying all of Soya's transformations could be.

"What do you mean?"

Soya frowned, clearly having guessed Son Goku's intentions.

"I want to witness all of your transformations. I wonder if you could satisfy this request of mine?"

Son Goku looked at Soya with expectant eyes.

At the same time, Vegeta, who had been standing with his arms crossed, stared intently at Soya, his intentions self-evident.

"Transform into everything?"

Soya hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded.

"Really? That's fantastic!"

Son Goku spoke with immense excitement; he hadn't expected Soya to agree so easily.

It wasn't just Son Goku; even Vegeta was somewhat surprised.

In truth, even without their request, Soya himself had started to become curious about just how powerful he would become once all his transformations were complete.

After all, he had only just transmigrated and hadn't really tested his limits yet.

He also wanted to see exactly how strong he was!

"Goku!"

"Dad!"

Just then, Son Gohan, Son Goten, Trunks, Krillin, and Bulma all rushed over from the distance, appearing beside Son Goku and the others.

"You all followed, too."

Son Goku smiled as he looked at them.

"Son Goku, tell them all to go back. Son Gohan can stay, but the others won't be able to withstand my aura; there's no benefit to them staying here!"

Soya looked at the group and spoke slowly.

He was speaking the truth.

This was his first time transforming like this, and it would be inevitable that he might struggle to control the spread of his energy.

If he accidentally injured the bystanders, that wouldn't be good at all.

"Goten, Trunks, take the others and head back first."

Son Goku didn't hesitate in the slightest, speaking directly to Son Goten and the others.

Although they really wanted to watch, they chose to listen obediently; because Son Goku was acting out of concern, they had no choice but to leave.

A moment later, only Soya, Son Goku, Son Gohan, and Vegeta remained in the middle of the ocean.

The rest had returned to a safe location.

"Soya, can you start now?"

Son Goku looked at Soya, already unable to contain his impatience.

Beside him, Son Gohan also eyed Soya with curiosity.

He, too, wanted to see just how strong this "super powerhouse" his father spoke of really was!

Vegeta likewise wore an expression of anticipation.

Among these three, Son Gohan was undoubtedly the strongest; after all, the title of Mystic Gohan was no mere boast.

Next was Son Goku in his Super Saiyan 3 state.

And finally, there was Vegeta.
