The Grand Elder Guides Wukong's Potential Energy, Restoring Thirty Percent

"Since you've already decided, I won't hold back!" Nail said, his energy surging wildly.

Feeling the powerful aura radiating from Nail, Piccolo merely smiled dismissively, showing not a hint of panic.

"Boom!"

Immediately following, Piccolo hesitated no longer and unleashed his full aura in an instant.

Sun Wukong glanced over in their direction and let out a hearty laugh, making no move to intervene.

At this moment, Piccolo had pushed his aura to its absolute limit.

Judging purely by the intensity of the energy fluctuations, Piccolo now surpassed Nail in raw power.

Nail's expression shifted slightly; he stared at Piccolo without blinking, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"Shall we continue?" Piccolo's smile grew even brighter.

Nail fell silent.

"Nail, stop. You are no match for him!" the Grand Elder spoke up.

"Yes, Grand Elder!" Nail hurriedly bowed.

"So, from today on, I am the strongest Namekian," Piccolo said with a smug grin.

Nail: "..."

"How do you train? I can sense that there is still a vast amount of energy hidden within your body," Nail sighed.

"Child of Katas, I can see that your body is incomplete. What happened to you?" the Grand Elder suddenly asked.

Piccolo was speechless.

What do you mean my body is incomplete?

The way you put it... someone who didn't know better might think something was wrong with me.

"Hahaha, Piccolo and the Guardian were originally one person. The Guardian separated Piccolo from himself in order to become the Guardian of Earth... that's how it happened," Sun Wukong explained from the side.

Piccolo's face darkened as he glared at Sun Wukong.

You talk too much.

The Grand Elder finally realized the truth and let out a long sigh: "So that's how it is... but if you could assimilate with your other half, perhaps you could defeat Frieza!"

"Y-you... what did you say?" Piccolo's expression shifted. "Are you saying that as long as I assimilate with that old man, the Guardian, I can defeat Frieza?"

"I feel like that's about right," Sun Wukong nodded in agreement.

Piccolo: "..."

Piccolo shot a sidelong glance at Sun Wukong.

What are you agreeing with?

What could you possibly feel?

"According to my deductions, it should be about right," the Grand Elder smiled faintly.

Piccolo fell silent.

After a brief silence, Piccolo shook his head decisively and chuckled, "Hmph, I won't fuse with that old man again! That guy is too annoying! He's always acting so self-righteous!"

The Grand Elder merely smiled calmly and did not attempt to persuade him further.

Time ticked by, second by second.

About twenty minutes later, all the Namekians had gathered, congregating on the platform outside the Grand Elder's room.

Krillin and the others stepped forward to carry the Grand Elder out of his room.

"Everyone, please hold hands. I'm going to transport you to a safe place now," Sun Wukong announced to the many Namekians present.

Soon, all the Namekians, including the Grand Elder, were linked together hand-in-hand.

"Wukong, should we stay and wait for you?" Krillin asked.

"Right, you guys wait a moment. I'll be right back after I get the Grand Elder and the others settled," Sun Wukong nodded, preparing to teleport the group.

"Wait!" the Grand Elder paused, hurriedly stopping him.

Sun Wukong ceased his use of Instant Transmission and looked up at the Grand Elder in confusion.

"Mr. Sun Wukong, do you intend to stay and fight Frieza?" the Grand Elder asked curiously.

"Yes, that is indeed the case, Grand Elder," Sun Wukong nodded.

"Frieza is incredibly powerful... relying only on the few of you... I don't mean to discourage you, but you may not be his match," the Grand Elder shook his head gently, sighing. "You are all good people; you should leave Namek with us."

"Don't worry, Grand Elder. I must stay and fight Frieza, otherwise, he will eventually find your planet again," Sun Wukong refused, shaking his head.

"Don't worry, Grand Elder. Wukong is very strong; he will definitely be able to defeat Frieza!" Krillin laughed.

The Grand Elder looked at Sun Wukong with a face full of gratitude.

What a truly good person.

A brief silence followed.

"Since you insist on staying behind to challenge Frieza, I shall present you with a gift," the Grand Elder said with a smile.

"A gift?" Sun Wukong was slightly taken aback.

"Come here, come to my side," the Grand Elder beckoned to Sun Wukong.

"Alright." Sun Wukong nodded and stepped up to the Grand Elder's side.

The Grand Elder placed his hand gently upon Sun Wukong's head.

"Eh? Why are you touching my head?" Sun Wukong blinked in confusion.

The moment the Grand Elder's hand made contact with Sun Wukong's head, his pupils constricted sharply, his aged flesh trembled, and he was struck by an immense sense of shock.

This... this person... the energy contained within this person's body... even I cannot fathom it?

Just how strong is he!

I suddenly understand why he chose to stay behind to challenge Frieza.

It seems he truly has the capability to defeat Frieza.

"What's wrong, Grand Elder?" Sun Wukong remained bewildered.

"Whoosh!"

A mysterious power bloomed from the Grand Elder's hand, rapidly enveloping Sun Wukong's body.

Sun Wukong was instantly stunned as energy surged wildly within him, a vast aura radiating from his center and spreading in all directions.

The sheer power of the energy nearly caused the high cliff to collapse on the spot.

Fortunately, Sun Wukong reacted quickly and immediately reined in his aura, preventing the steep cliff from being shattered.

"That's amazing!" Sun Wukong was both surprised and delighted.

Quietly sensing his own powerful aura, Sun Wukong felt that his energy level had recovered by at least thirty percent of his peak state.

I spent so much time training hard, and I had only managed to recover ten percent of my peak state with great difficulty.

Yet, after the Grand Elder granted me this mysterious power, I actually recovered thirty percent all at once.

Sun Wukong was filled with both surprise and excitement.

Immediately afterward, Sun Wukong seemed to realize something and turned his head to look behind him.

What a pity, my tail still hasn't grown back.

"Your... your energy..." The Grand Elder was equally stunned, never having imagined that Sun Wukong's energy could be this powerful.

"That's great, thank you, Grand Elder! I feel like my energy is much stronger!" Sun Wukong said with a smile.

"You are welcome... I merely guided out the energy that was hidden within your body," the Grand Elder replied with a calm smile before looking toward Piccolo and the others. "To all you friends who are staying to challenge Frieza, I can take responsibility for guiding out the energy hidden within you as well. If you need it, come to me!"

Krillin and the others all beamed with joy.

So we can become stronger through this method as well.

Subsequently, Krillin, Piccolo, Gohan, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, and the others stepped forward one by one to let the Grand Elder help guide out their latent energy.

With the Grand Elder's assistance, the strength of Piccolo and the others was elevated to a much higher level.
