A flash of white light.
The two landed on an unfamiliar planet.
Unlike the lush, fragrant Planet Samos, this place was a desolate expanse of yellow-brown terrain. There wasn't a blade of grass in sight.
"What kind of dump is this? It's so desolate. It's nothing like Planet Samos." Android 18 frowned, looking disgusted.
"Planet Sadala, home of the Saiyans in Universe 6," Qin Feng explained.
He had come here because he needed these Saiyans to help him break through to Super Saiyan God.
The Saiyans of Universe 6 were different from the battle-crazed Saiyans of Universe 7.
They worked as mercenaries, protecting other planets, so most of them had peaceful, pure hearts—the very prerequisite for becoming a Super Saiyan God.
"The Saiyans' territory?"
Android 18 wasn't particularly interested. She had no fondness for Saiyans other than Qin Feng.
"Come on. There are a few strong ones over there. Let's go meet them."
Qin Feng flashed away, turning into a streak of light as he headed for a massive building in the distance.
The main hall of Sadala Palace.
Qin Feng and Android 18 appeared out of thin air, instantly putting all the guards on alert.
Among them stood a small-framed Saiyan named Cabba.
"Who are you? How dare you barge into the palace!" King Sadala demanded coldly from his throne.
He sized up Qin Feng. The young man looked like a Saiyan, but he had a tail around his waist.
The Saiyans of Universe 6 had evolved beyond having tails long ago.
"Qin Feng," he replied.
"Never heard of you. What are you doing on Planet Sadala?" King Sadala remained wary.
"It doesn't matter if you've never heard of me. I came to ask you all for a small favor. Of course, I won't be asking for free. You'll receive a generous reward in return."
Qin Feng spoke calmly as he casually let out a faint trace of his power.
Buzz!
That tiny hint of energy was enough to make King Sadala's expression change. An intense sense of mortal danger shot through him.
Cabba was drenched in cold sweat. He leaned toward King Sadala and whispered, "Your Majesty, this man's strength is unfathomable. I wouldn't stand a chance against him!"
"What? Even you can't beat him?!" King Sadala's pupils contracted.
Cabba was the vice-captain of the Sadala Defense Force and one of the strongest Saiyans. If even he admitted he was outmatched, who was this young man?
"Your strength far surpasses ours, yet you're asking us for help. Are you making fun of us?" King Sadala asked, forcing himself to speak.
"Don't overthink it. I really do need your help."
Qin Feng's lips curled into a smile. "In exchange, I can teach you how to transform into a Super Saiyan."
As soon as he finished speaking—
"Ha!"
Qin Feng clenched both fists.
Boom!
Brilliant golden energy burst from him. His hair turned a radiant gold, and his power surged to fifty times its original level in a single second!
"Wha... What?!"
Cabba and King Sadala gaped at Qin Feng's transformation, their jaws nearly hitting the floor.
As far as they knew, nothing as absurd as a "Super Saiyan" existed!
"Your hair turned gold... and your power shot up dozens of times! Is this the Super Saiyan form you mentioned?!"
King Sadala swallowed hard, unable to hide his longing.
If all the Saiyans on his planet could master this transformation, they could sweep across the universe on their mercenary jobs and make a fortune!
"That's right."
"One more thing: I'm a Saiyan too."
"I'm just a little different from you."
Qin Feng dispelled the golden aura and returned to his normal form, speaking in an even tone.
The Saiyans from the two universes were indeed quite different.
The Saiyans of Universe 6 were all thin as reeds, as if they were malnourished, and none of them had ever grown a tail.
"I'd already guessed as much from your appearance..."
King Sadala stared at the tail around Qin Feng's waist and asked cautiously, "Mr. Qin Feng, what exactly do you need help with? If teaching us to transform is all it takes, we'd gladly commit the full strength of our planet!"
The Super Saiyan transformation was simply too tempting!
A sudden increase in power by dozens of times—it was a priceless treasure every Saiyan dreamed of!
But he couldn't help wondering.
Qin Feng was absurdly powerful. Whatever had made him ask for help must be incredibly difficult.
"It's not as complicated as you think."
"Pick five kind-hearted Saiyans and have them share some of their energy with me," Qin Feng said casually.
It might be difficult to find enough people in Universe 7, where everyone was a battle maniac. But in Universe 6, where good-hearted people were plentiful, it would be easy.
"That's it?"
King Sadala froze, unable to believe his ears.
They only had to find five people to lend him some energy in exchange for the method of becoming a Super Saiyan? That was an incredible bargain!
"That's all. Of course, the stronger they are, the better."
"Once it's done, I'll keep my promise," Qin Feng said with a nod.
The anime hadn't said how strong the participants in the Super Saiyan God ritual had to be, but finding a few strong ones to take part couldn't hurt.
"Deal! We won't go back on our word!"
King Sadala was overjoyed. He immediately turned and ordered, "Cabba! Get to it! You have half an hour!"
"Yes! I'll get it done!"
Cabba took the order and dashed out of the main hall.
Less than twenty minutes later,
Cabba returned with four Saiyans.
Qin Feng recognized two of them at a glance.
Caulifla and Kale.
They were familiar faces from the Tournament of Power in Dragon Ball Super.
Caulifla had incredible talent and would soon reach the threshold of Super Saiyan 2.
Kale was even more extraordinary. She had Legendary Saiyan blood, and when she lost her temper, her power exploded.
"Hey, Cabba! Is this the guy you were bragging about, the one who can teach us to transform?"
Caulifla crossed her arms and chewed gum, acting like a street punk as she gave Qin Feng a sidelong look.
Android 18 watched coldly from the side, radiating an icy aura that warned everyone to keep their distance. She was like a mountain of ice that had stood for ten thousand years.
"Caulifla! Watch your attitude! Mr. Qin Feng's strength is unfathomable. Don't make him angry!" Cabba broke into a cold sweat and quickly lowered his voice to warn her.
"Tch, don't try to scare me with that!"
Caulifla didn't take him seriously. She strode up to Qin Feng and raised her chin. "Hey! I hear you're pretty strong."
"If you want us to help, take me down first!"
"If you can't even beat me, you have no right to make demands!"
"With a wimp like you, one punch is all it'll take to put you on your knees!"
Faced with Caulifla's arrogant, clueless bravado, Qin Feng was speechless.
The punk had a good heart, but her mouth was filthy.
She was even more obnoxious than Vegeta had been back in the day.
"You're too weak. I'm not interested in fighting you."
"But if you're begging for a beating, I'll be happy to knock some sense into you," Qin Feng said, his tone turning cold.
