Blond Master

"What!?"

Wang Shen exclaimed in astonishment.

This confident, wild, genius girl wanted to take him as her master?

Caulifla screeched to a halt right in front of Wang Shen, hands on her hips, and declared:

"Karotis, I want you to be my master. Teach me how to train and get stronger."

"Why?"

Wang Shen looked utterly bewildered.

At the mention of this, Caulifla stared at Wang Shen with a resentful gaze, her lips curling into a pout as she retorted unkindly:

"You never truly taught me anything before."

"I followed your method and turned my hair gold, but it's not long like yours, and I don't have anywhere near your level of power."

Bang!

Speak of the devil.

Right there in front of Wang Shen, Caulifla transformed into a Super Saiyan.

Her hair spiked into a golden mane, surrounded by a rising golden aura.

She shimmered with golden light under the evening sky.

"So, I'm going to be your apprentice now, and you're going to teach me the real deal!"

Caulifla looked at Wang Shen with a face full of sincerity and anticipation.

Although she hadn't attained power as immense as Karotis', she had managed to become dozens of times stronger than before just by following his fragmented advice.

Therefore, she was convinced that becoming Karotis' disciple was the true path to becoming a powerhouse.

She didn't want to be like she was before—full of ambition but drifting aimlessly.

Karotis stared at the high-spirited Caulifla, completely dumbfounded and unsure whether to laugh or cry.

He hadn't expected to pick up an apprentice just like that.

And a female one at that!

Wang Shen narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Caulifla before speaking:

"Your momentum is decent. To have such a powerful aura just after breaking through to Super Saiyan—your talent is indeed impressive."

"Well, obviously!"

Caulifla held her head high, brimming with confidence.

"Are you sure you want to be my disciple? You won't regret it?"

Wang Shen asked seriously.

Caulifla nodded heavily.

"I, Caulifla, always keep my word. What I say goes."

"With my talent and strength, taking me on as a disciple won't bring you any shame."

As of now, she could be considered the strongest Saiyan on Planet Sadala, second only to King Sadala.

Wang Shen propped up his arm, stroking his chin in contemplation.

In the future, Vegeta would become Cabba's master.

Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad for him to be Caulifla's master first.

Besides, looking at it now.

This Caulifla was the Universe 6 counterpart to Son Goku.

She was also a fanatic for training and combat.

All she cared about was getting stronger!

Someone like that had a pure heart, perfectly suited for the martial arts.

Wang Shen lifted his gaze to look at Caulifla, who was staring back at him with wide eyes, and smiled:

"Very well. Given our connection, I will take you as my disciple."

"Yosh!"

Caulifla pumped her fists in excitement.

Then, with a whoosh, she dropped out of her Super Saiyan state.

A rare look of seriousness and solemnity appeared on her youthful face as she slowly stepped back two paces.

She then bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle toward Wang Shen, remaining there for a long time.

Just as Cabba had done for Vegeta in the original story.

"Master Karotis."

Wang Shen, however, simply held his forehead, speechless. "Just call me Karotis. Calling me 'Master' feels strange; I'm not used to it."

Much like Son Goku and North Kai, or himself and Whis, there was never a formal master-disciple title between them.

"Keep our bond in your heart; there's no need to speak it aloud."

Wang Shen put on a master's air as he walked up to Caulifla, patted her smooth, fair shoulder, and spoke with earnest gravity.

Even if the title was dropped, he had finally become a master—was he not allowed to enjoy the experience for a moment?

"Fine."

Caulifla agreed immediately.

In truth, the rebellious girl wasn't used to calling a man who looked only a few years older than her "Master" either. After all, she had even dared to defy King Sadala to his face. But for the sake of becoming stronger, it wasn't a big deal.

Just then, as the sun truly dipped below the horizon, a full moon hung in the sky.

The Saiyan soldiers arriving for their shift cast their gazes toward the hand Wang Shen had placed on Caulifla's bare shoulder. Their eyes were hostile.

Caulifla was a notorious female bandit on Planet Sadala, but as members of King Sadala's royal guard, they wouldn't allow just any random Saiyan to bully this girl. Moreover, this Saiyan still sported a tail—a symbol of barbarism and backwardness.

Just as they were about to step in, Wang Shen sensed the tension, quickly pulled his hand away, and signaled for Caulifla to greet them.

Gurgle!

Once things were cleared up, Wang Shen's stomach finally let out a roar.

From rushing from Universe 7 to Planet Sadala, to immediately fighting a fierce battle against King Sadala, his stomach hadn't been filled with a proper meal this entire time. The Senzu Bean he had eaten earlier was only for healing his wounds and restoring stamina. Could you even call that food?

Rubbing his pitiful, empty stomach, Wang Shen felt like crying. "Caulifla, you must have your own territory, right?"

"Of course." Caulifla sounded exceptionally proud.

"Then hurry and find me a quiet, open spot so I can set up camp. I don't have a place to stay yet." Wang Shen added, "Once I'm settled, I'll treat you to a feast—a celebration for your successful apprenticeship."

"Huh!?" Caulifla was confused.

But under Wang Shen's anxious gaze and urging, she led him toward the area she had "occupied." On the way, she couldn't help but ask, "Karotis, why don't you have your own place? And why have I never seen you before?"

"Are you not a Saiyan from our Planet Sadala?"

"Otherwise, a Saiyan as strong as you couldn't possibly be unknown."

Caulifla looked rough and carefree, but she was quite sharp. She recognized Wang Shen's strength and had been decisive enough to ask him to be her master without a moment's hesitation. Now, she had even deduced his origins.

Wang Shen grabbed Caulifla by her slender neck and accelerated, explaining as they flew. His disciple did need to learn the common knowledge of the higher universes.

"There are twelve universes in this world. Planet Sadala belongs to Universe 6, while I am a Saiyan from Universe 7, here in search of strong opponents..."

With Wang Shen's speed, the two quickly arrived at Caulifla's territory in the wilderness. It was exactly what Wang Shen had hoped for.

Wang Shen then took out a Hoi-Poi Capsule and set up a small pavilion.

He had truly prepared a gluttonous feast.

Wang Shen and Caulifla tucked in with gusto.

Caulifla even exclaimed that she hadn't made a mistake in choosing her master.

The next day.

When the sun was hanging high in the sky.

Wang Shen finally rose slowly, only to find that Caulifla had not yet returned.

Last night, because they had eaten so well and were so full and tired, Caulifla had simply slept here with Wang Shen.

Of course, do not misunderstand.

The pavilion had more than one room.

"I'll go grab a bite first and wait for her to come back."

Caulifla had gone out early in the morning, saying she wanted to bring a junior student of hers over.

She wanted Wang Shen to teach them together.

Once he finished guiding Caulifla through the subsequent realms of the Super Saiyan.

His business on Planet Sadala would be considered complete.

At that time, he would set off once again.

To wander the universe and continue searching for strong opponents.

With his current combat power, which was comparable to a Super Saiyan God, there was likely no one left in Universe 6 who could be his match, aside from Hit.

And, of course, those who, like King Sadala, did not appear in the original story and kept their true selves hidden.

After a long while.

Wang Shen walked out of the pavilion and gazed into the distance, where two auras were rapidly speeding toward him.

"It really is her, the Legendary Super Saiyan!"

Wang Shen sighed in admiration.
