Super Saiyan

"So Super Saiyans really exist!"

King Sadala only knew that his own transformation was Super Saiyan God.

He had assumed Karotis had the same form as him, Super Saiyan God, just a different version from the one in Universe 6.

He hadn't thought much of it.

Still.

A regular Super Saiyan shouldn't be as powerful as a Super Saiyan God, should they?

Yet Karotis had beaten him outright with nothing more than Super Saiyan.

King Sadala immediately regarded him with new respect.

Karotis's strength was unfathomable!

Caulifla's eyes widened, her excitement surging.

"Are you this strong because you turned into a Super Saiyan?"

"More or less."

"Then can you teach me how to become a Super Saiyan? I want to be just as strong as you!"

Caulifla asked eagerly.

"Sure."

Wang Shen agreed without hesitation.

He knew Caulifla had misunderstood, but for the moment, he had no intention of explaining.

"Thanks!"

Caulifla sincerely thanked Wang Shen, then bowed to him.

She might be arrogant and wild, but she was still polite.

Then, including King Sadala, the two stared intently at Wang Shen, like disciples eager for their master's instruction.

Caulifla's sudden bow and thanks took Wang Shen by surprise.

He hadn't expected this carefree girl to have such a grateful heart.

Wang Shen stared in surprise for a moment, then noticed their expectant gazes and began to explain.

"Super Saiyan is a power hidden in the Saiyan bloodline."

"Once a Saiyan reaches a certain level of battle power, S-Cells will form inside their body. They then need to gather those S-Cells into a point on their back and, through anger, draw out the power within and release it all. That's how they transform into a Super Saiyan."

"Once transformed, a Saiyan's battle power increases fiftyfold in an instant, giving them terrifying strength."

Caulifla was overjoyed. She could hardly wait to become a Super Saiyan!

"Great! Once I become a Super Saiyan, I'll have the same battle power as King Sadala!"

Wang Shen glanced at Caulifla, his mind full of complaints. In the end, he settled for offering her a word of encouragement.

"Very good. You've set your sights high. Keep working hard. I believe in you—you'll definitely become a Super Saiyan like me someday."

Super Saiyan 3.

King Sadala paid no attention to Caulifla's wild fantasy.

He knew Karotis's strength was by no means as simple to attain as Caulifla imagined.

He was thinking.

Could all the Saiyans on Planet Sadala become Super Saiyans, too?

"Yoshi!"

Encouraged by Wang Shen, Caulifla grew even more excited, her fighting spirit soaring.

She was already imagining the day she would rule Planet Sadala.

"Then I'll go out into the universe and make the name Caulifla famous, too."

"Oh, right, I'm Caulifla. What's your name?"

Caulifla patted her chest and introduced herself with confidence.

By then, the sun had emerged again. Beneath its rays, Caulifla's exposed skin looked strikingly smooth and fair.

Her hand made a soft smacking sound against it.

However.

Wang Shen, who already had a family, kept his eyes forward and smiled.

"You can call me Karotis."

Since he was on Planet Sadala, Wang Shen decided to follow local customs.

"Okay, Karotis. Once I become a Super Saiyan, I'll surpass you and beat you."

"I'll be waiting for that day. But I'll keep getting stronger, too."

Wang Shen laughed.

Caulifla was far more confident than Son Goku—she was practically arrogant.

After thinking it over for a long while, King Sadala looked at Caulifla, who was imagining herself beating him up and ruling the universe. His eye twitched furiously, and he spoke in a dark voice.

"Caulifla, stay here and train properly. Don't go causing trouble anymore."

"Who's causing trouble?"

Caulifla protested unhappily.

But King Sadala ignored her. He exchanged a glance with Wang Shen, then flew into the sky and left.

Wang Shen hovered in midair, turned, and called out his farewell.

"Goodbye, Caulifla. Keep training. I'm looking forward to seeing you improve."

Caulifla rose onto her toes and waved goodbye to Wang Shen.

A short while later.

The Royal Palace.

King Sadala brought Wang Shen to a room.

They sat facing each other at a table laden with food, all of it developed by Planet Sadala's scientists to best suit Saiyan bodies.

Wang Shen had already returned to his Super Saiyan Full Power form, much to King Sadala's amazement.

"This is a special tea developed specifically on Planet Sadala. It has a marked effect on stimulating and improving a Saiyan's mind."

"Of course, it doesn't have that effect on people at our level anymore, but it's better than nothing, and it still tastes quite good."

King Sadala gestured to Wang Shen.

"Please."

Then King Sadala picked up his teacup and savored the tea.

It had been a long time since he'd fought at full strength so exhilaratingly. Having a cup of tea afterward to clear his head was a pleasant experience.

Unlike King Sadala, who was enjoying his tea, Wang Shen put his cup back on the table after one sip.

Instead, he took out his Happy Water.

Pssht!

He gulped down a mouthful and felt refreshed!

King Sadala paused at the sight of Wang Shen's look of satisfaction, but didn't think much of it.

Everyone had their own preferences.

He changed the subject.

"Karotis, you haven't found a place to stay yet, have you?"

Wang Shen let out a long burp. It seemed to blow toward King Sadala, making him lean back slightly.

Wang Shen smiled sheepishly, then nodded.

"That's right. I just arrived on Planet Sadala and Cabba took me to the Royal Palace, so I haven't had time to find a place to stay."

King Sadala waved away any concern and said,

"There are plenty of spare rooms in the Royal Palace. If you don't mind, you can stay here."

"Thank you for the offer, but I'd rather find a place of my own outside."

In fact, Wang Shen still had several Capsules in his personal space, each containing a small loft.

"King Sadala, if there's something you want, you can just say so."

King Sadala smiled and nodded before speaking.

"I'd like to know: are the requirements for becoming a Super Saiyan strict?"

"Can the Saiyans on Planet Sadala also become Super Saiyans and increase their battle power?"

Wang Shen seemed to have expected the question. He smiled faintly.

"As long as they can reach a battle power of three million, they can transform into Super Saiyans using the method I just described."

"It's the same for every Saiyan."

"Three million battle power..."

King Sadala murmured softly.

To people at their level, three million battle power was like an ant.

But not every Saiyan could reach that level.

That alone would disqualify more than ninety percent of the Saiyans.

Ha!

After finishing an entire bottle of Happy Water, Wang Shen saw King Sadala bow his head in thought again and spoke up.

"King Sadala, do you know what that golden-haired form of mine was?"

At that, King Sadala immediately looked up at Wang Shen, eager for his answer.

He was asking about Super Saiyan for the sake of the entire Saiyan race.

But it was the even more powerful long-haired Saiyan form he truly wanted to understand.

Wang Shen smiled slightly and stopped holding back.

"That was Super Saiyan 3, a form that surpasses Super Saiyan."

"A form that surpasses Super Saiyan!"

King Sadala murmured the somewhat convoluted name, awestruck.

"So there's also a Super Saiyan 2?"

"That's right."

Wang Shen then explained the levels of Super Saiyan and how to train to King Sadala in detail, leaving him amazed.

Unlike the foolish, autocratic Vegeta, King Sadala had genuinely saved Planet Sadala.

Even now, he was still thinking of all the Saiyans on Planet Sadala.

Under his rule, Planet Sadala was flourishing. He was a wise ruler.

And they had already formed a bond through their earlier battle.

So Wang Shen was willing to tell him about Super Saiyans.

"Super Saiyan 3 can multiply a Saiyan's normal battle power by at least four hundred times. Under ordinary circumstances, it's the strongest level a regular Saiyan can attain."

"Regular Saiyan?"

King Sadala keenly picked up on that.

His golden pupils fixed on those fiery eyes.

Red hair, a lean yet incomparably powerful body, and a youthful air.

Wang Shen spoke meaningfully.

"That's right. A regular Saiyan."

"If a Saiyan wants to become even stronger, they can follow the path of the gods and become a Super Saiyan God!"

King Sadala's pupils trembled...
