Super Saiyan

S-Cells!

The key to a Saiyan transforming into a Super Saiyan!

The reason Ron was able to sense them dated back many years.

At that time, he was in the midst of breaking through the 9 Refinement Body Technique and the 99 Soul Forging Technique he had brought over from the Swallowed Star world.

At the very moment he shattered his shackles, his strength reached the Star Level, and he sensed a drastic change within his internal world.

Countless golden lights were born and began to course through his body.

They were completely different from ordinary energy.

If one had to use the simplest description, it would be the power of bloodline.

As his strength grew ever stronger, that primal power belonging to the Saiyans awakened from within his blood.

These special golden cells were what Ron identified as S-Cells.

Ever since he sensed the existence of these golden cells, Ron's progress on the path of cultivation had been advancing by leaps and bounds.

Especially over the last year or two, as the number of golden cells increased, his strength had become increasingly formidable.

As for why he hadn't broken through until now, it was purely because his strength was insufficient and he lacked enough golden cells.

This time was different.

A full year had passed since his last attempt to forcibly break through his limits!

Through a year of accumulation and refinement, Ron had honed his strength to a sufficiently solid level.

The sheer quantity of S-Cells alone was more than ten times what it had been a year ago.

The current situation was exactly as he had anticipated from the start.

As he unleashed all his accumulated power in one breath, that bottleneck—which he had been able to touch before but never break—finally loosened.

S-Cells surged continuously toward the center of his spine.

Previously, this place had been like a bottomless vortex, constantly swallowing energy; even if he channeled all his S-Cells there, he couldn't fill even a tenth of it.

This time, that feeling of never being able to fill it vanished.

Deep within that bottomless vortex, because enough golden cells had gathered—and these golden cells acted like living things, merging one after another—they finally transformed into a golden energy spring!

No!

Perhaps a spring was not an appropriate metaphor.

If his spiritual consciousness were to enter this energy vortex, it would be like a vast, infinite golden ocean!

His internal world was undergoing a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering transformation.

At the same time.

The pale white aura shrouding Ron's body had already been replaced by a golden one.

As countless S-Cells from all over his body surged toward their destination, this energy grew increasingly massive, driving his strength to become ever stronger!

Ron's transformation had finally reached its most critical moment.

The limiter was broken, the Saiyan shackles were completely shattered, and his black hair and eyebrows were dyed gold by the power of his bloodline, while his pupils transformed into a piercing green.

"Haaaaa!!!!"

Another hysterical shout erupted.

It felt as if his body had exploded, much like the creation of the universe itself.

The ocean of energy within that golden spring seemed to trigger some mechanism, bursting forth in one go and impacting the very heavens and earth.

When Ron's transformation finally concluded, the entire world gradually quieted down.

The golden light pierced through the clouds covering the sky, and the thunder dissipated as if it had never existed.

"Finally! I finally succeeded in breaking through! This is it—Super Saiyan!!"

After closing his eyes and focusing for a long while, until he had thoroughly grasped his current power, Ron opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

With a fifty-fold increase in combat power, Ron felt as if he could accomplish anything.

This leap in strength was not merely a breakthrough in realm; it was a transcendence of limits in the truest sense.

This was the power of a Super Saiyan!

This was the absolute strength that a powerhouse in this world ought to possess!

His combat power had broken through one hundred million!

He was firmly at the level of an Emperor of the Universe.

Ron was confident that if Frieza were standing before him right now, even in his final form with a combat power of 120 million, he would be no match for him.

After all, his base combat power was at least over five million!

"It's not just an increase in power; after transforming, my physical body has become even tougher under the enhancement of the bloodline power! The 9 Refinement Body Technique even shows signs of breaking through its own limits!"

Hoo, hoo~!!

"Boom!"

"Screech!"

With every casual punch and kick, the invisible force generated was terrifying enough to tear through the air.

His power had surged, and the speed of his strikes had far exceeded his own imagination.

This all-encompassing improvement was different from what he had originally envisioned, which was merely an increase in raw strength.

It was no wonder that in the original work, Saiyans could engage in high-intensity battles far above their own level after transforming.

Of course, it might also be related to the body-refining secret techniques he had practiced, which further highlighted this advantage.

Overwhelmed by the excitement brought on by his explosive growth in strength, Ron tilted his head back and let out a cathartic laugh.

Immediately afterward, he unleashed his aura in one breath, shooting straight into the sky like a golden pillar of light, trailing a long tail as he broke through the planet's atmosphere!

The Ron of the past already possessed the ability to operate in space.

Now that his strength had reached the hundreds of millions in this world's units, his physical body was incomparable to that of an ordinary life form.

At the very least, he far surpassed the Z Fighters from the original series.

Following the promotion of his life level, Ron could easily survive in even harsher environments.

It was nothing more than a slightly higher consumption of energy to maintain the basic needs of his physical body.

Floating in the pitch-black void of space, gazing at the distant, twinkling starlight, Ron felt the consumption of power within his body.

Indeed, compared to his normal state, this consumption was negligible.

However, while the Super Saiyan transformation significantly boosted his base combat power, one point could not be ignored: after transforming into a Super Saiyan, energy was constantly being consumed even when not fighting.

Ron had known this from the very beginning.

As a Dragon Ball fan and a transmigrator familiar with the plot, he was well aware that unless a Super Saiyan reached Full Power, maintaining the form would consume a massive amount of energy.

This was, in fact, similar to the settings in the manga and games.

Ron remembered the Dragon Ball series games he had played in his previous life; whenever a Saiyan transformed into a Super Saiyan, there was always a time limit.

"At this rate of consumption, if I want to achieve interstellar travel, my current strength is still far from enough... Flying at full speed will consume even more, unless I have enough items to restore my stamina and energy..." Ron muttered to himself.

Because he was in space, sound could not travel.

Of course, being unable to transmit sound did not mean he could not speak.

Sound could be propagated with the help of energy, which served as a medium.

"It seems I thought about it too simply. To truly traverse the universe, I need my base combat power to reach this standard at the very least... Sigh..." With another sigh, Ron reined in his excitement and returned from space to the ground.

He still had to become even stronger.
