The three big eaters swept wildly through the delicacies on the table, turning into giant apes as they stuffed themselves with abandon.

"Mm, this roast meat's done pretty well... Hey! Kakarot, that's my meat!"

"Oh, come on, what does it matter, Vegeta... Wait, why did you eat my sushi?"

"What do you mean, yours? I saw it first!"

"That's so sneaky, Vegeta. Wait, Li Feng, how are your hands so fast? That looked really tasty."

"..."

When Saiyans started eating, they recognized neither kin nor reason, and nearly came to blows. The food on the table kept dwindling; each of them ate enough for hundreds of people, leaving the Yardrats staring in stunned disbelief.

"Burp—"

After a full sweep, empty bowls and plates piled up on the floor, and only then did Li Feng and the others let out satisfied belches.

"Brave warriors, I wonder if the food suited your tastes?"

The clan chief wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke cautiously.

"Thank you for your hospitality. The food suited our tastes very well."

Li Feng wiped his mouth.

"Heroes, please allow us to thank you once again for saving my people."

With that, the clan chief stood and bowed respectfully to Li Feng and the others. The Yardrats behind him also rose and thanked Li Feng.

"There's no need for so many polite words. We mainly came here this time to learn."

Li Feng stated the purpose of their visit to Planet Yardrat.

"Oh? I wonder what you wish to learn?"

The clan chief was puzzled.

"Your Instant Transmission."

"Ah? This..."

The clan chief frowned, hesitating.

"Hey, what's with you people? You're not even willing to teach such an ordinary skill?"

Seeing the clan chief waver, Vegeta grew displeased.

In truth, Li Feng had told Vegeta and Wukong before this that they had to learn Instant Transmission on this trip to Planet Yardrat, or he would not take them away.

"Clan chief, you can't. That's our clan's secret. We can't possibly pass it on to outsiders..."

"That's right. If they turn out like that group from before, we'll be finished."

Someone behind him reminded him.

"Shut up!"

Hearing the discussion among his people behind him, the clan chief immediately barked for them to stop.

"No matter what, they are the benefactors who saved our clan. And with how powerful you all are, you have no need to resort to deception."

The clan chief said this to his subordinates.

"It is just that, heroes, I will not hide it from you. Our clan is currently in a very dangerous situation."

"Aside from that group just now, other alien colonists come to our planet almost every day to cause destruction and harm our people. Our clan's combat strength is very low, and many of our people have sacrificed their lives. It is not that I do not want to teach you. I truly have no time."

The clan chief voiced his bitterness.

"Then we can help you drive away those with ill intentions. Don't worry, we're very strong."

Wukong patted his chest and said.

"That's right. I only just destroyed their king—Frieza. The news hasn't reached them yet. If they learn that Frieza is dead, they probably won't have time to come here and cause trouble anymore."

Li Feng explained slowly.

"Y-you're telling the truth? You really killed that terrifying Emperor of the Universe, Frieza?"

The clan chief was shocked.

Frieza's vicious reputation had spread far and wide. People on almost every planet knew of him.

"Words alone are no proof. Ha!—"

Li Feng stood and shouted.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A golden whirlwind erupted from Li Feng once more, his aura sweeping through the entire place!

Li Feng opened his eyes. His pupils turned emerald green, his hair stood on end and became golden, and an aura like that of an ancient ferocious beast burst forth in an instant.

A huge pit was immediately stamped into the ground. At the same time, the earth trembled, the wind roared, and energy poured endlessly out of Li Feng.

The Yardrats were sent flying by the shockwave from Li Feng's transformation, all of them so overwhelmed by his terrifying power that they could not speak.

"So this is a Super Saiyan? One day, I'll become an existence like that too!"

Wukong looked at that golden figure, and his resolve to grow stronger became even firmer.

"Hmph. I'll definitely reach that level before Kakarot does."

Vegeta was secretly envious as well.

"So powerful! That aura... It seems what Lord Li Feng said was true."

Age still brought experience. The chief of the Yardrats was the first to react. As a member of the Yardrat race, he had an innate sensitivity to ki. The aura Li Feng gave off after turning into a Super Saiyan was clearly extraordinarily powerful, far stronger than Frieza, whom they had encountered before.

"Now you believe me, right?"

Li Feng returned to his normal state and spoke to the chief.

"Benefactors, we believe you. Of course we believe you."

"Good. Then let's make a deal."

"We'll borrow your grounds for training and learn your race's Instant Transmission technique. You'll also provide us with lodging and plenty of food. In exchange, during this period, we'll protect your safety. If any other invaders come, leave them all to us."

"No problem. Then it's decided. On behalf of the Yardrats, I welcome you."

The Yardrat held out his hand.

Li Feng shook the chief's hand as well, and the deal was struck.

The days that followed were filled with long training and study.

In the mornings, Wukong, Vegeta, and Li Feng learned Instant Transmission from the chief. In the afternoons, the three of them engaged in chaotic battles against one another. At night, they ate and drank their fill, living each day to the fullest.

Although Li Feng had already learned the basic form of Instant Transmission with the system's help, he still listened carefully to the Yardrats' lessons.

They did have unique insights when it came to the use of ki. After studying their knowledge, Li Feng gained a deeper understanding of the principles behind Instant Transmission, which also helped lay the foundation for him to learn the advanced version of Instant Transmission on his own.

After they resolved several alien invasion incidents, the outside colonists also realized that powerful warriors were protecting this planet. On top of that, once they learned the definite news that Frieza was dead, they stopped attacking Yardrat as well, and peace returned to the planet once more.

Only, on that vast planet, much of the terrain had been left in ruins by the warrior race.

Although they fought in desolate, uninhabited places, the aftershocks of their battles were still world-shattering. Mountains collapsed, rubble flew everywhere, and waves surged violently.

The Yardrats had long since grown used to the commotion caused by their battles. The three Saiyans caused tremendous destruction, but they had indeed helped them a great deal. Besides dealing with enemies, they had also worked as drivers, carpenters, and all kinds of manual laborers. Heavy objects were effortless for them to handle, and they contributed quite a lot to the construction of new Yardrat villages.

As for Li Feng, Sun Wukong, Vegeta, and the others, they naturally gained plenty over the course of that year.

First was battle power. One year later, everyone's normal-state battle power was:

Li Feng: 20,000,000

Sun Wukong: 6,000,000

Vegeta: 4,000,000

Everyone's battle power had risen by a large margin. Sun Wukong and Vegeta's normal-state battle power had reached the minimum threshold required to transform into a Super Saiyan, but they were still one final step away from actually becoming one.

However, they had already fully learned Instant Transmission, and along the way, they also learned the Fusion Technique, though they said they would rather die than fuse. (In the original work, Sun Wukong learned it from the Metamorans he met in the Other World. In Dragon Ball Super, the Yardrats could use forced separation of ki, so of course they could also fuse ki.)

As for Li Feng, he refined his basic Instant Transmission. After a year of study, he learned to use Instant Transmission based on absolute coordinates, which was Kibito Kai's Instant Transmission as well. His gains were truly abundant.
