"Whew—"

A shooting star streaked across the skies of Namek.

"Tap!"

A massive spaceship landed steadily on the ground.

Li Feng and the others walked out of the ship.

What greeted them was lush green vegetation.

"So this is Namek! It's so beautiful!"

Gohan cheered.

"Is this my homeworld?"

Piccolo looked at the scenery before him, and a familiar, warm feeling welled up in his heart.

"There are several powerful ki signatures over there!"

Sun Wukong looked into the distance.

Huh? Who could it be?

Li Feng sensed it too.

"Whoever it is, let's head there first."

Li Feng made the suggestion.

"Those ki signatures just now clearly weren't especially powerful. It shouldn't be Frieza."

During the flight, Li Feng had also told Sun Wukong and the others about Frieza's goal. They had to get the Dragon Balls before he did.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

To avoid being detected by Scouters, the party of four suppressed their ki and flew toward the target.

That was probably where the Grand Elder was. The Grand Elder's potential unlocking was also a key to a huge wave of battle-power growth!

Li Feng was secretly delighted.

"Swish!—"

The four of them arrived at a stone house. A Namekian was standing guard in front of the door.

"Who are you?" Nail asked warily. Looking at Piccolo, he said in surprise, "Which Namekian are you? Why don't I know you?"

"We came to help you resolve the crisis before you," Li Feng answered.

"It's all right, Nail. Let them in." An aged voice came from inside the house.

Li Feng and the other three entered. Even though he had seen him in the manga before, when Li Feng saw the enormous Namekian over ten meters tall, he was still astonished.

"Respected Grand Elder, I am Li Feng. They are Sun Wukong, Son Gohan, and Piccolo. We have come mainly for two things: first, we hope you can help us unlock our potential; second, we hope to borrow the Namekian Dragon Balls."

"Because in the near future, a terrifying and evil enemy will come to Namek to slaughter the innocent and destroy the planet. We are here to stop them."

Li Feng stated his purpose.

"Piccolo?"

"Oh, so you are that person's child."

The Grand Elder looked at Piccolo, and for a moment, a surge of memories rose in his mind.

"It's all right. I agree to your conditions. I hope you can protect my planet and my people," the Grand Elder said slowly.

"But Grand Elder, your body..." Nail hurriedly tried to stop him.

"Nail, my days are numbered, and I have a premonition that what he said is true. Let me make one final contribution to our people."

"Thank you, Grand Elder. I will not fail your trust."

"Which of you will go first?" The Grand Elder looked at the four of them.

"Unlocking potential? I'll go first!"

The familiar feeling in Piccolo's heart deepened further, and deep down, he trusted the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder's large hand rested on Piccolo's head, and he began to draw out his potential.

Piccolo went from puzzled at first, to shocked, and finally to grateful.

It seemed Piccolo and the Grand Elder were communicating in their own unique way.

"Swish!"

"Boom!"

A white aura shot into the sky, instantly kicking up the dust all around.

"Whew!—"

"Piccolo, your potential is the strongest among all us Namekians. I hope you can protect our Namek."

"Thank you, Grand Elder!"

Piccolo was both pleasantly surprised and grateful!

Now Piccolo's combat power had shot straight up to 100,000!

"Heh heh, my turn."

Seeing Piccolo's combat power soar in an instant, Wukong was eager to try as well.

"Hmm? Oh, your potential is very strong too!"

The Grand Elder silently began drawing out Wukong's potential as well.

After a few minutes, the Grand Elder's forehead was covered in sweat. It took him quite some effort before he finally finished.

"What an astonishing young man. I can only draw out a portion of your potential. Your potential is far too great!"

Boom!

An even stronger surge of ki swept wildly outward, but it appeared for only an instant before Wukong brought it completely under control.

"Thank you, Grand Elder!"

Sensing the ki within his body now, Wukong was extremely excited too.

Wukong's combat power at this moment was 1,500,000.

"Go on, Gohan!" Piccolo encouraged him as well.

"Then I'll go. Grand Elder, please guide me." Gohan spoke politely.

"Come, child. Let me feel your potential..." the Grand Elder murmured.

"Child, the potential within you is terrifying. I can only try to awaken one-tenth of it." With that, the Grand Elder placed his hand on Gohan's head.

Boom! In an instant, a powerful aura erupted from Gohan, whipping up a whirlwind.

"This power... it's so strong!" Piccolo was shocked by Gohan's powerful aura.

"Ah! You're amazing, Gohan!" Wukong exclaimed as well.

"The potential of Saiyans really is strong!" Li Feng sighed too.

Li Feng used the Scouter to check Gohan's current combat power: 110,000!

Gohan was also surprised by his own strength, but he soon withdrew his aura and thanked the Grand Elder.

"Huff—" Sweat streamed down the Grand Elder's head, as if he had overdrawn his strength.

"Grand Elder, eat this to recover your stamina."

Li Feng gave the Grand Elder a Senzu Bean.

It had to be said that drawing out the potential of Saiyans with enormous potential like Wukong and Gohan was an extremely exhausting task.

"Oh, is this that miraculous bean that can restore stamina?"

The Grand Elder was surprised as well, but he still ate it.

Only after the Grand Elder's aura recovered did Li Feng speak.

"All right, it's my turn."

Filled with anticipation and excitement, Li Feng came before the Grand Elder.

"Oh? I actually can't sense any limit to your potential!" the Grand Elder was shocked once again.

"At present, I can only draw out roughly one percent of your current potential." After sensing Li Feng's potential, the Grand Elder slowly stated this terrifying fact.

"That's fine. Drawing out even a portion is good."

"Very well!" The Grand Elder once again placed his hand on Li Feng's head, desperately awakening his potential.

If Wukong and Gohan's potential had been like surging rivers, then Li Feng's potential was like a vast, storm-tossed sea!

The Grand Elder desperately awakened Li Feng's potential as well, using even more energy than he had for the previous three.

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, an even more violent aura erupted from Li Feng!

"This power! It's too terrifying!"

Li Feng felt a cool energy flow down from the top of his head, like sudden enlightenment pouring into him.

Energy gushed endlessly from within his body, leaving Li Feng shocked and wildly delighted!

"Wait, Li Feng! Hold back your aura—the house is about to collapse!" Piccolo hurriedly shielded the Grand Elder.

"Sorry about that. Thank you, Grand Elder."

Li Feng immediately reined in his aura, thanked the Grand Elder, and took out several bags of Senzu Beans.

"These Senzu Beans can quickly restore stamina and heal injuries. This is our payment to you for developing our potential, so please be sure to accept them."

The Grand Elder ate another one, and instantly felt his whole body relax considerably.

The exhaustion from having just developed Li Feng's potential was gone as well.

The Grand Elder gladly accepted them and had Nail pass them on to the other members of the clan.

At this moment, the four of them had the following combat power:

Gohan: 110,000

Piccolo: 100,000

Sun Wukong: 1,500,000

Li Feng: 5,000,000
