Legendary Super Saiyan

To this day.

Four years and six months had passed since Wang Shen cut Cell down with his sword.

On a vast green grassland.

Wang Shen lay sprawled on the grass, facing the sun, perfectly at ease.

A fierce gust of wind swept by now and then, bending the grass across the entire plain as if it might snap.

Wang Shen let the wind ruffle his flowing golden hair, paying it no mind.

His lips parted slightly, and his fingers twitched.

He silently calculated the time.

"Two and a half years left. I wonder if Son Goku has managed to break through to Super Saiyan 3 while training in the mortal realm."

"Or perhaps Vegeta, after overcoming the obsession in his heart, will be the first to step into the realm of Super Saiyan 3."

"I can't wait!"

As for Bojack and his group, whom North Kai had asked him to deal with back then, Wang Shen hadn't given them a second thought.

They were nothing but stepping stones for Son Goku and Vegeta to break through to Super Saiyan 2.

Wang Shen spoke lazily, crossed one leg over the other, and casually caught a stone that came hurtling toward him from afar.

He turned his head and called out:

"How many times have I told you? Keep your distance when you fight. Don't disrupt my deep-level training."

In the distance.

Two golden auras flared as the fighters clashed.

Caulifla knocked Kale back with a side kick and shouted in reply:

"I can't promise anything once I'm in a fight. Besides, I don't see you doing any training."

"What do you think, Kale?"

Caulifla powered up and charged Kale again, throwing a punch.

Kale brought her arms together to block Caulifla's attack. Her slender body flew backward with the force of it, and she said woodenly:

"Y-yes... Big Sis is right."

Caulifla kept talking as she fought, completely at ease.

"Karotis, didn't you say Kale was the Legendary Super Saiyan? She doesn't seem all that special."

Wang Shen didn't even glance over. He waved a hand and said:

"That's because her power hasn't been drawn out yet. Otherwise, even ten of you wouldn't stand a chance against her."

"The Legendary Super Saiyan's power is terrifying. If things go wrong, even I could find it troublesome."

A Legendary Super Saiyan who had completely lost her reason could grow infinitely stronger.

At that, Caulifla's eyes lit up.

Even Kale froze, lowering her gaze to her small fists.

She seemed unable to believe it.

The two exchanged a look, stopped fighting, and landed beside Wang Shen.

Caulifla was thrilled, standing with her hands on her hips.

"Get up, Karotis. Don't think I don't know you've been sleeping while we train."

Kale's eyes shone brightly. She folded her hands in front of her chest and asked softly:

"Karotis, can you tell us about the Legendary Super Saiyan? Can I really unleash this power inside me?"

Karotis had only told them about the concept of the Legendary Super Saiyan before. He hadn't explained in detail what made one truly special.

Truthfully.

Kale had always worried that she couldn't keep up with her big sister.

Now that she had hope, she had to seize it.

For her sister, and to defeat King Sadala.

Caulifla had been chattering away in Wang Shen's ear, and at last he could no longer sleep.

He simply sat up.

Wang Shen looked at the seemingly frail Kale, his eyes deep and unreadable, as if he could see straight through her.

He saw the terrifying power that lay dormant deep within her.

"The Legendary Super Saiyan is a powerful warrior who appears once every thousand years among the Saiyan race."

"This warrior doesn't need to train to possess fighting power far beyond that of an ordinary Saiyan from birth. Their potential is beyond measure."

"With just a little guidance, they can unleash incomparable power, enough to shake heaven and earth and move the gods."

At this, Kale and Caulifla's eyes sparkled, and they exclaimed in amazement.

Caulifla couldn't wait to witness the power of the Legendary Super Saiyan.

Kale wished she could unleash her potential right then and there.

"Then, Karotis, can you..."

But.

Before they could finish, Wang Shen doused their excitement with a bucket of ice-cold water.

He spoke one word at a time:

"But! This explosive power is simply too immense. Even the Legendary Super Saiyan can't fully control it."

"Once it exceeds their control, they lose their reason and become monsters who know nothing but fighting, with no humanity left. By then, you won't be yourself anymore."

"In the end, the Legendary Super Saiyan will destroy herself amid that uncontrollable power, fading away until a new Legendary Super Saiyan appears a thousand years later."

At these words.

Caulifla and Kale immediately fell silent, intimidated and uneasy.

The excitement in the air plunged to freezing point.

After a long while.

Kale's dark eyes dimmed again, and she lowered her head, utterly disappointed.

So it was just a cruel joke fate had played on her.

A power that would only destroy her...

Seeing his junior sister, who had only just managed to lift her spirits, hang her head again, Caulifla couldn't bear it. Gritting her teeth, she asked:

"Does the Legendary Super Saiyan have no choice but to follow a path of destruction?"

Wang Shen smiled faintly and answered with confidence:

"Though no Legendary Super Saiyan in history has ever successfully mastered their power, I'll make Kale the first."

"I haven't pushed Kale to draw out that immense power because I want her to learn to control it gradually and strengthen her will."

"That way, when she truly transforms into the Legendary Super Saiyan, she won't lose herself in that overwhelmingly powerful force. Instead, she'll gradually adapt to it and master it!"

It was like a bottle that couldn't hold an entire bucket of water, let alone a whole pond.

Instead, the bottle's capacity had to be expanded gradually, one step at a time.

In the original story, Kale eventually managed to control the power of the Legendary Super Saiyan.

But that was only after Caulifla fought desperately to bring her back to her senses.

For a brief moment, Kale regained her reason and willingly gave up most of her power, regressing into a Pseudo-Legendary Super Saiyan.

Truthfully, he'd said all that just to get the two of them to train steadily and stop reaching for the stars.

Wang Shen's words rekindled hope in Kale's heart.

She stammered:

"I... I can really do it?"

Caulifla put a hand on Kale's slender shoulder and grinned.

"Don't worry, Kale. As my junior sister, you can definitely do it. Have some confidence."

Wang Shen smiled and nodded, then continued:

"All right, don't worry about things that far off for now. Just focus on your training. If there's anything else you want to ask, I'll tell you."

"In three months, I'll have to leave."

"Three months! Are you going back into space?"

Caulifla asked.

"No, I'm going back to my own universe."

Universe 7.

Wang Shen tilted his head toward the sky, as if he could see a certain slender figure standing there, bold and carefree.

Soon.

Lazuli had been training in the Demon Realm for so long now.

She must have had it much harder than I did.
