Conditions for Breaking Through to Super Four's Combat Power; Son Goku Who Can't Count

Tarble had observed him closely while he was demonstrating the Super Saiyan 4 form.

There was no reason for him not to befriend someone with such heaven-defying talent and strength.

Moreover, as an excellent member of the Dragon Clan, he was most sensitive to the presence of evil energy.

He was absolutely certain that Tarble was not an evil being.

At this moment, Vegeta urged, "Enough, stop being so long-winded and hurry into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber!"

With that, he turned and walked toward the stairs.

"Wait for me, Vegeta!"

Son Goku shouted at Vegeta's retreating back and followed after him.

Right now, his mind was entirely occupied with how to transform into a Super Saiyan 4; he had no time to spare for talking to Dende.

Tarble watched the two of them acting as if they were in their own home and shook his head secretly.

"Dende, Mr. Popo, we'll be heading in now."

"However, we might use violent means to break out when we return."

"I'll have to trouble you to repair it then!"

Hearing this, Dende nodded immediately. "That's a minor issue."

"Mr. Tarble, please, go on in."

Tarble waved at the two of them before his figure flashed, and he chased after the others.

Soon.

The four of them successfully stepped into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

The moment the door closed, Son Goku asked impatiently:

"Tarble, tell me quickly, how do I transform into a Super Saiyan 4?"

To be honest, Tarble was a bit annoyed by Son Goku's rash nature, but he also knew that if he didn't explain, the man would definitely pester him endlessly. If that happened, he wouldn't be able to train properly at all.

Therefore, Tarble secretly activated his Insight Eye to check Son Goku's strength.

The next second.

A brief profile of Son Goku appeared before his eyes.

Target: Son Goku
Race: Saiyan
Combat Power: 300 Billion

300 billion?

It was lower than he had expected!

However, he had mentioned before that he had wasted a lot of time trying to resolve the flaws of Super Saiyan 3 or trying to surpass it.

In that case, having only this much combat power made sense.

But, with just this level of combat power, he couldn't transform into a Super Saiyan 4!

With a thought, he deactivated his Insight Eye and said to him, "With your current strength, you haven't yet met the requirements to transform into a Super Saiyan 4."

"No way? I feel like I'm already very strong!" Son Goku found it hard to accept. "Although I can't compare to you, among the four of us, I should be ranked second, right?"

"Besides, I feel like I'm quite a bit stronger than Vegeta and Licks, so how can I still not meet the requirements?"

"Oh, right, Tarble, you haven't been experimenting, have you?"

"So, to what extent do I need to train to have a chance at success?"

In less than twenty seconds, he had rattled off a whole string of questions.

As expected!

Whenever it came to matters of training, this guy's brain was truly sharp!

Tarble sighed inwardly, then decided not to waste any more breath on him. He took out a Scouter and instructed, "Release all your energy in your base form and let's see how much combat power you have now!"

"Huh? A Scouter?" As soon as Son Goku saw the Scouter, it awakened long-forgotten memories; it seemed like Scouters couldn't measure such high combat power.

"But, shouldn't the Scouter be unable to measure our current combat power?"

"Back on Namek, that... what was his name again..."

"Right, that guy named Ginyu also used a Scouter to test my combat power at the time."

"As a result, the Scouter just exploded..."

Seeing Son Goku's little mouth going off like a machine gun, chattering away, Vegeta instantly lost his patience. He glared and snapped, "Kakarot!"

"Do what you're told and stop with all the nonsense!"

"If you aren't going to do it, then get out!"

"I didn't say I wouldn't do it!" Son Goku looked at Vegeta with a hint of grievance.

He then quickly stood at attention and said to Tarble, "Tarble, I'm ready. Go ahead and scan me."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the next second arrived.

BOOM!

At this moment, he stopped suppressing his aura and released it to his heart's content.

The Scouter immediately began to emit a rapid, urgent beeping sound.

Beep, beep, beep...

Seeing that he was on the verge of an explosive outburst, Tarble reminded him in the nick of time, "Don't explode! Just release it naturally!"

Hearing this, Son Goku nodded and followed his instructions.

Three seconds later, the Scouter's alarm stopped.

Tarble reported the data truthfully: "300 billion!"

"Son Goku, your base combat power is roughly 300 billion."

300 billion?

This guy Kakarot has actually surpassed me by this much!

Damn it!

At this moment, Vegeta was furious, his face filled with unwillingness.

On the contrary, Son Goku, the person involved, was startled upon hearing he had 300 billion combat power and exclaimed:

"300 billion?"

"Doesn't that mean my base strength is higher than yours, Tarble?"

As soon as these words were out, both Tarble and Licks were left speechless.

Vegeta glanced at Son Goku as if looking at an idiot: "Are you a moron, Kakarot?"

Suddenly scolded, Son Goku was confused and asked back in all seriousness, "Did I say something wrong?"

"According to what Tarble just said, his base combat power is only one trillion, while I have 300 billion."

"Isn't 300 greater than 1?"

"What I said, what's wrong with that?"

Hearing this, Vegeta couldn't even be bothered to scold him. He suppressed the urge to take action, gritted his teeth, and turned his head away.

"Hmph!"

He was afraid that if he talked too much to such an idiot, he might end up just as stupid himself.

At this moment, Tarble and Licks were also so shocked by Son Goku's earth-shattering statement that they didn't want to speak.

What the hell, 300 greater than 1!

Did you secretly eat the units at the end?

Fine!

He couldn't even solve such a simple math problem.

He really is illiterate!

However, Tarble still gave a simple explanation: "Son Goku, one trillion is 700 billion more than 300 billion."

"In other words, one trillion is equal to 1,000 billion."

"Tell me, is 1,000 greater than 300?"

Hearing this, Son Goku suddenly realized: "Oh—so that's how it is!"

"Then I was wrong!"

"Sorry about that, I can't remember numbers over a million, hehe~"

At the end of his sentence, he scratched his head in embarrassment.

The next moment, his attention suddenly returned to the serious matter at hand.

"In that case, doesn't that mean I'm still... 700 billion, right, I should still be 700 billion combat power short before I can try to transform into a Super Saiyan 4?"

"Wow, I'm still so far off, I haven't even reached half yet."

Although he said that, there was no trace of fear or discouragement on his face.

There was only excitement and high fighting spirit.

"Hey, Tarble, when did you start trying to transform into a Super Saiyan 4?"

"How many times did you try in total before you succeeded?"

Upon hearing these two questions, Vegeta instantly pricked up his ears, straightened his head, and looked at Tarble with curiosity.

He also really wanted to know how many times Tarble had attempted the breakthrough from Super Saiyan 3 to Super Saiyan 4.

It couldn't possibly be that he succeeded on the first try, just like with Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2, right?

That would be too monstrous!
