After having his potential unleashed, Piccolo could hardly have felt more pleased with himself.
He had now firmly surpassed his archrival, Son Goku. He could not have been happier!
A vague thought of I'm invincible! surfaced in Piccolo's mind.
He swept his gaze around before settling it on Wu Fei.
Previously, he had never been able to sense Wu Fei's true energy. He only knew that Wu Fei's strength was unfathomable, and that they were clearly on completely different levels.
Now that his strength had risen so dramatically, Piccolo wanted to gauge Wu Fei's power once more.
"Hmm?"
Piccolo, who had been brimming with confidence, suddenly changed expression, disbelief written all over his face.
Even after his power had soared, he still could not sense Wu Fei's true strength!
Wu Fei's aura completely blocked Piccolo's senses, startling him into taking two steps back.
"Damn it!"
Piccolo was filled with unwillingness.
There was still an unbridgeable gap between him and Wu Fei!
Piccolo's face was now full of shock, while Wu Fei merely smiled calmly.
He did not care in the slightest about Piccolo's probing.
After all, there was an enormous difference between them. There was no need for him to pay Piccolo any mind.
Just then, the Grand Elder began unlocking Gohan's potential.
"Huh?"
"This child has such enormous potential hidden within him!"
The previously calm Grand Elder's expression changed, and he seemed somewhat surprised.
Although Krillin and Piccolo both possessed potential beyond that of ordinary people, the Grand Elder had not thought much of it.
But this child's potential was clearly far greater than that of the first two!
Unlocking Gohan's potential also took longer than it had for Krillin and Piccolo.
"This child's future is limitless," the Grand Elder said with emotion.
"Is this really my power?"
Gohan clenched his fists, his face full of disbelief.
He could feel endless power surging within him!
"This... is terrifying!" Krillin cried out.
"Gohan is that strong? Way to go!" Son Goku was happy for Gohan as well.
He could now sense that Gohan's energy had already surpassed his own!
Son Goku's face was filled with helplessness. He had never expected that his strength, once second only to Wu Fei's—
—would now only be greater than Krillin's!
"As expected of my disciple!" Piccolo thought.
Piccolo could also sense Gohan's power skyrocketing. Though Gohan had not yet reached his level, he was probably not far behind Nail!
"So this is 'God Gohan'!"
Wu Fei was not surprised by the change in Gohan's strength.
Gohan had always possessed limitless potential. The Grand Elder had only drawn out a small portion of it now.
Yet even that small portion caused Gohan's strength to soar, reaching a battle power of 40,000!
"My turn!"
Son Goku was extremely excited now.
After all, once the Grand Elder had unlocked their potential, Krillin, Piccolo, and Gohan had all undergone qualitative leaps in strength.
Now, Son Goku also wanted to see what kind of changes he would experience.
"Please, Grand Elder!"
Son Goku's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Alright!"
Just as before, the Grand Elder placed his palm on Son Goku's head.
"Huh?"
"His potential is actually this terrifying!"
The Grand Elder's expression visibly shifted. He became even more astonished, and sweat began to bead faintly on his forehead.
It was clear that although he was unlocking potential again, this time the Grand Elder had to expend far more energy.
Son Goku calmed his mind and carefully sensed the changes in the power within him.
He could clearly feel the power inside him continuously rising.
After a long while, the Grand Elder finally removed his hand.
"This is amazing!"
"Thank you, Grand Elder!"
Son Goku said excitedly.
"So strong, Goku!" Krillin cried out.
"Is this Dad's power? It's so powerful!" Gohan was equally stunned.
"Son Goku is actually that strong?"
Even as Piccolo was shocked, his heart was filled with frustration.
He had just been delighted at surpassing Son Goku, only to find that Son Goku had once again widened the gap between them by a huge margin!
"Goku! Congratulations!" Wu Fei said.
He could sense that Son Goku's battle power had risen from fifteen thousand to one hundred and twenty thousand!
"Next, it's my turn!"
Wu Fei slowly walked toward the Grand Elder.
"I'll be troubling you," Wu Fei said sincerely.
"Then let's begin!"
Having already awakened the potential of Son Goku and the others, the Grand Elder had expended quite a bit of energy.
After taking a brief rest, the Grand Elder began awakening Wu Fei's potential.
"Hmm?"
Right from the start, the Grand Elder was utterly shocked.
He discovered that he could barely stir the power within Wu Fei's body.
He had long seen that Wu Fei was no ordinary person, and that his realm was clearly above Son Goku and the others'.
But he had never expected Wu Fei's realm to be so high.
Even with his powerful psychic abilities, drawing out the power within Wu Fei was extremely strenuous.
The Grand Elder was now fully focused. Sweat continually beaded on his forehead, and his arm trembled slightly.
Earlier, the Grand Elder had helped awaken the potential of four people. Aside from Son Goku, drawing out the potential of the other three had been quite easy.
But now, everyone could see that the Grand Elder seemed to have encountered an enormous challenge.
Drawing out the power within Wu Fei was an incredibly difficult task!
"Grand Elder!"
"Why don't you stop?"
Nail was deeply worried at this moment.
He could sense that the Grand Elder's previously steady breathing had become rapid, while his body had grown even weaker.
He truly feared that something might happen to the Grand Elder!
However, the Grand Elder paid him no heed and continued awakening Wu Fei's potential.
The Grand Elder also wanted to know just how much potential Wu Fei possessed!
Wu Fei could clearly feel a gentle, warm current flowing down from above his head, slowly drawing out the power within him.
It was an immensely enjoyable process!
As time passed, the Grand Elder's breathing grew heavier!
"Grand Elder, your health comes first! Please stop!"
Nail was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but there was nothing he could do.
Yet the Grand Elder's hand did not move away for a long time.
The time the Grand Elder needed to awaken Wu Fei's potential was clearly much longer than it had been for Son Goku and the others!
Only after a long while did the Grand Elder finally remove his hand.
"Grand Elder! Are you all right?"
Nail asked anxiously.
"Cough, cough, cough... I'm fine!"
The Grand Elder was gasping heavily now, and his clothes had long since been soaked through with sweat.
Awakening Wu Fei's potential had nearly drained the Grand Elder of all his energy!
Wu Fei slowly opened his eyes and looked around.
"That power is terrifying!"
"Damn it, the gap between him and me has grown even wider!"
Son Goku and the others felt an overwhelmingly intimidating aura that pressed down on them until they could barely breathe!
Wu Fei carefully sensed the changes in his body, then reined in his aura. Only then did Son Goku and the others recover.
"This feeling is incredible!" Wu Fei exclaimed.
After the Grand Elder had unlocked his potential, his strength had surged dramatically as well.
Wu Fei's base combat power in his normal state had now doubled, reaching 4 million!
