For fifty straight days, Vegeta had watched Tarble's terrifying rate of improvement. He was starting to get numb to it.
If he'd had this kind of insane training speed back then, he would have left Son Goku several star systems behind by now!
Even though he'd anticipated it, he was still deeply shocked.
In just one day, Tarble's power level had increased by 115,000.
Compared to yesterday's increase of 112,700, today's gain was indeed another 2,300 higher.
At this rate, his former self couldn't even hope to keep up.
Of course,
he was comparing Tarble's progress with his own from before he became a Super Saiyan, and there was still a four- or fivefold gap.
Now, after a day of training under 500 times gravity, he could increase his power level by around 250 million.
Ever since he'd gotten a Scouter, he'd finally learned how much his power level increased each day.
It wasn't as if he'd spent all fifty days lazing around.
With such an excellent training environment, he naturally wasn't going to waste his time.
As soon as Bulma finished upgrading the new Gravity Chamber, he'd thrown himself into training under high gravity.
He'd trained for forty days in total.
His power level had risen from 90 billion to 100 billion.
Before, he hadn't known how much progress he was making. And since he'd believed he couldn't compare to Son Goku, he'd usually trained under 200 times gravity.
On top of that, he'd trained with an on-again, off-again attitude.
That was why, after all these years, his base power level was only 90 billion.
But now things were different. Knowing that he could increase his power level by around 250 million a day had made him buckle down and train hard again.
At that moment, a glint flashed in his eyes. He voiced another frightening yet seemingly plausible guess.
"Tarble, I suspect you might be the Legendary Super Saiyan, the once-in-a-thousand-years warrior among us Saiyans!"
"Otherwise, there's no way you could improve so quickly!"
He was shocked, but also relieved, with a hint of satisfaction.
Because he believed he'd finally found the Legendary Super Saiyan!
And that person was none other than his own younger brother, Tarble!
A Royal Saiyan who'd been judged a Low-Class Warrior at birth!
After living on Earth for so many years and competing with Son Goku for just as long, he knew full well that neither he nor Son Goku was the Legendary Super Saiyan.
According to his late father, King Vegeta, the Legendary Super Saiyan was a ruthless destroyer who recognized no one as kin and rampaged without restraint.
Now, seeing Tarble's astonishing rate of improvement, he could only think of him as the Legendary Super Saiyan.
After all, he, Son Goku, and Licks were all pure-blooded Saiyans, and they were living proof.
The three of them really couldn't compare to Tarble's talent for training.
Back when he hadn't yet become a Super Saiyan, a day of training under 500 times Earth's gravity had increased his power level by far less than Tarble's.
If this wasn't the Legendary Super Saiyan, then what was?
However, that also overturned everything he'd previously believed about the Legendary Super Saiyan.
Tarble clearly had an exceptionally kind nature and no desire at all to destroy everything.
Vegeta could only blame the rumors for being wrong.
He'd formed this opinion because neither he nor Son Goku was the Legendary Super Saiyan, yet both of them could transform into Super Saiyans.
That was powerful evidence.
Otherwise, wouldn't that mean every Saiyan was a Legendary Super Saiyan?
That was impossible!
After hearing him out, Tarble shook his head, then nodded. "No, big brother. I don't think I could be the Legendary Super Saiyan."
"If that legend has been passed down among us Saiyans, it can't be too far from the truth."
"If I were the Legendary Super Saiyan, there'd be no reason for me to have such little desire to fight and destroy."
"The legend describes a savage, battle-hungry warrior. I've heard that once he enters battle, his power surges, and he loses control."
"I don't have any of those symptoms."
"So I can't be the Legendary Super Saiyan."
"At most, I'm a... Super Elite Warrior with a little more talent than an ordinary Saiyan."
"What do you think?"
The fervor in Vegeta's eyes faded after hearing that. He uttered three words: "Maybe you're right."
But the next second, he changed tack and reminded him, "Still, with your power level now, you should be able to try transforming into a Super Saiyan."
"I think Kakarot and I both had power levels of several million when we first managed it."
"Let me explain how to transform..."
At that moment, he showed an unusual amount of patience, explaining the secrets of transforming into a Super Saiyan one by one.
Tarble suddenly felt that having a big brother like Vegeta, whose personality had changed so much after being modified, might not be so bad after all.
However, Vegeta's method was still the old-fashioned one: transforming through anger.
He completely overlooked whether the energy inside the body changed in any other way during the transformation.
"Does transforming into a Super Saiyan require anger?" Tarble asked, pretending to be deep in thought. Then he looked at Trunks. "Trunks, when you were close to transforming into a Super Saiyan, did you feel anything unusual?"
"Like... was there anything special about the flow of energy inside you, or the way it moved?"
"Now that you've mastered the Super Saiyan transformation, you can't still rely on anger every time, can you?"
At his question, Vegeta and his son Trunks' eyes lit up. It was as if they'd suddenly grasped an idea.
The energy's path through their bodies when they transformed.
The father and son exchanged a knowing glance and spoke in unison:
"Back!"
Vegeta saw that Trunks had thought of it too, and immediately gave him the floor.
"Uncle, I remember now!" Trunks exclaimed, beaming. "If you gather your energy in your back, you can transform into a Super Saiyan."
"Give it a try!"
He looked eager to test it himself.
As if he were the one about to attempt the Super Saiyan transformation.
Vegeta added, "Don't push too hard. Start slow, then speed up. That's how you draw out the Super Saiyan power hidden inside you!"
Start slow, then speed up?
Tarble nodded, only half understanding.
He'd never transformed into a Super Saiyan, so he didn't know exactly what it felt like.
But he knew that Saiyans from Universe 6 transformed by gathering energy in their backs.
He clenched his fists, about to slowly draw all the energy in his body toward the area around his back and spine and try to transform into a Super Saiyan.
But then Vegeta's voice came from beside him.
"Wait!"
Tarble stopped and looked at him in confusion.
"Let's try somewhere else. The first time you become a Super Saiyan, it'll make quite a commotion."
He remembered how the area around him had been damaged when he first transformed into a Super Saiyan.
If the ground around their home was damaged, Bulma would certainly chew him out.
He didn't want to get yelled at over something like that.
Hearing his explanation, Tarble immediately understood.
"Then let's find somewhere uninhabited and try!"
Vegeta nodded, then ordered Trunks, "Trunks, go tell your mother we're heading out."
"Huh?" Trunks clearly wasn't pleased. "But I want to come watch too..."
Vegeta frowned instinctively.
"Go on. You can catch up with us later!"
"We're going to Kami's Lookout."
Seeing his no-nonsense expression, Trunks immediately smiled. "Kami's Lookout?"
"I'll go tell Mom right now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.
He even used High-Speed Movement.
Tarble pretended not to know what "Kami's Lookout" was and asked Vegeta, "Kami's Lookout? What's that?"
"It's a strange place. You'll see when we get there." Vegeta didn't elaborate. He glanced at Licks. "While we're at it, I'll show you another way Saiyans can quickly raise their power levels."
With that, he flew into the sky first, heading toward Korin Tower.
Tarble and Licks followed right behind.
