The days slipped by.
Qin Feng took Android 18 wandering through the vast universe, visiting countless planets.
In the end, they didn't find even the slightest trace of the Super Dragon Balls.
That finally put an end to his hopes of finding them.
Before he knew it, five years had passed.
Though Qin Feng had spent those five years indulging in a life of luxury, he'd also made training part of his daily routine, and his battle power had skyrocketed.
West Galaxy.
Planet Parshir.
"How long have we been out here?"
Qin Feng leaned back in the plush seat of the spaceship and smiled as he pinched Android 18's soft, fair cheek.
"Five years and four months."
Android 18 shot him a sidelong glance with her sparkling eyes.
After all the round-the-clock attention she'd gotten from this scoundrel over the past five years, time had flown by far too quickly.
At that moment, she wore nothing but an extremely sheer black lace nightgown.
She wasn't wearing anything underneath. Her ample, snow-white breasts showed enticingly through the lace, and her long, shapely legs were crossed over Qin Feng's lap.
"Five years, plus the year or so we spent on Earth before that. It's been almost seven years since Cell died."
Qin Feng stroked his chin as he calculated.
Majin Buu would make his grand entrance seven years after the Cell Saga ended.
It seemed it was time to head back to Earth and see what was going on.
But before he returned, he needed to reach the next level.
After more than five years of intensive training and real combat, his strength had become firmly stuck at the peak of Super Saiyan 3 Full Power. He could even feel the energy inside him about to overflow.
So today, he planned to seize the moment and break through to Super Saiyan 4 in one go!
As long as he'd laid a solid foundation, transforming into Super Saiyan 4 wouldn't actually be difficult.
He still had his tail. All he needed to do was create an Artificial Moon and transform into a Great Ape. Then, if he could advance to a Golden Great Ape while retaining his sanity, becoming Super Saiyan 4 would follow naturally.
"I'm about to do something big. It might cause quite a commotion, so stay back."
As Qin Feng spoke, his hand wandered up Android 18's long, pale leg and slipped straight into forbidden territory.
Android 18 let out a soft cry, her body instantly melting into a puddle.
"Training again? Can't you wait until we're back on Earth...?" she murmured, biting her lip and gazing at Qin Feng with dreamy eyes.
"This is too risky to take lightly. If I lose control after transforming into a Great Ape, I might wreck this whole planet." Qin Feng pulled his hand away and gave her upturned backside a slap.
"All right, I understand." Android 18 obediently nodded and climbed off him.
She never questioned Qin Feng's decisions.
"If anything seems wrong, I'll stop immediately." Qin Feng put aside his playful mood and grew serious.
"Be careful."
Android 18 straightened his clothes for him.
Then Qin Feng took Android 18 to the city center, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, and settled her there.
He returned alone to the desolate wasteland.
"Super Saiyan 4!"
"Once I break through, I'll be able to do whatever I want in this universe!"
Qin Feng clenched his fists, his eyes blazing.
No more hesitation. He'd just do it.
He raised his right hand, and a dazzling silver-white orb of light instantly formed in his palm.
Creating an Artificial Moon was child's play for him.
"Whew..."
Qin Feng took a deep breath and hurled the orb high into the sky.
The orb resembled a bright, full moon, bathing the land in silvery light.
Qin Feng stared fixedly at the Artificial Moon overhead.
Buzz!
After just three seconds, it was as if an electric current had surged through the depths of his brain. A wild instinct, buried deep in his bloodline, had been fully awakened.
Thump!
His heart pounded violently, as if it were about to burst through his chest.
Every hair on his body stood on end.
Thump, thump, thump!
His heartbeat grew louder and louder, like the pounding of a war drum.
Qin Feng felt the blood in his veins boiling and swelling like magma.
Rip!
His specially made training clothes split open.
Riiip!
His muscles and bones began to grow wildly beyond his control, bursting through every bit of clothing in the blink of an eye.
Qin Feng's features twisted and changed, and his eyes turned completely blood-red.
Thick, dark-brown fur sprouted wildly across his back and arms.
"Roar!"
A beastly growl, repressed to the very limit, burst from deep in his throat.
It was as if an ancient ferocious beast had awakened!
In an instant, Qin Feng had grown more than ten meters tall, transforming into a berserk Great Ape as huge as a small mountain!
Steel-like black fur covered his body, two bone-white fangs protruded from his mouth, and his face was terrifyingly savage.
"Roar!"
The Great Ape threw back his head and roared, pounding his chest with both fists.
Rumble!
A terrifying shock wave, powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, swept outward from the Great Ape like a tsunami.
Several nearby mountains were instantly flattened by the raging energy, sending dust billowing into the sky!
"I've actually kept my wits about me."
"What's going on?"
"I remember Vegeta bragging that only Saiyans with royal blood could retain their reason and avoid going berserk after transforming into Great Apes."
Though Qin Feng had transformed into a berserk Great Ape, his mind hadn't been swallowed by his animal instincts. In fact, he'd never felt so clear-headed.
He was quite surprised.
When Son Goku and Son Gohan transformed into Great Apes, they became monsters who knew nothing but killing.
It seemed either his soul as a transmigrator was strong enough, or this was thanks to the system.
Whatever the reason, staying sane was the best possible outcome. He didn't have to worry about wrecking the planet.
"Since I'm still in control, I'll go straight for Super Saiyan 4!"
Qin Feng clenched his mountain-sized fists.
Boom!
Strands of dazzling golden energy erupted from his massive body.
In the blink of an eye, his mountainous form was completely engulfed in brilliant golden light.
The blinding radiance was like a miniature sun, lighting up the night sky across the entire planet as bright as day!
