Super Saiyan Ye Bai

Ye Bai set out on a journey to find the Dragon Balls with Trunks. After gathering them, he brought Trunks to the Heavenly Realm. After greeting Kami, he prepared to make a wish with Trunks.

"Mr. Ye Bai, are these the Dragon Balls?" Trunks asked curiously.

"That's right. These are the Dragon Balls. I'll give you this radar when we go back. Also, Namek's new coordinates are *****. Go look for it when you return and see if there's a chance to revive them." As Ye Bai spoke, he handed the Dragon Radar to Trunks.

"Come forth, Shenron!" Ye Bai called out.

"So what are we doing now?" Trunks did not quite understand.

"I'm having Shenron give me extreme rage. I still can't transform into a Super Saiyan, hahaha. This level of strength is starting to feel insufficient." Ye Bai spoke somewhat awkwardly. After all, they could all transform on their own, while he still needed Shenron's help.

"You mean you defeated Uncle Goku in your normal state?" Trunks could hardly believe his own guess.

"That's right. A year ago, Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan on Namek and fought him. But even then, his speed and strength were inferior to his. The gap should be even greater now."

"Shenron, I need you to create an illusion that will make me feel extreme pain and anger, so that I can feel rage." After explaining, Ye Bai made his wish without the slightest hesitation.

"That wish is simple enough, but you will need to relax your body and cooperate," Shenron's somewhat imposing voice rang out.

"Alright." Ye Bai completely relaxed his body. As Shenron's eyes lit up, he fell into an illusion.

At first, Ye Bai still knew it was an illusion. Gradually, his memories became obscured. After training hard for three years, he had finally witnessed the androids' appearance. After he and the others destroyed the first two androids to appear, they went to find the two threatening androids Trunks had mentioned—Android 17 and Android 18. Following an intense battle, Android 17 and Android 18 fled, only to be absorbed by the newly appeared Cell. Sensing an overwhelmingly powerful aura, everyone went together to surround and eliminate him.

But this time, without Gohan transforming into Super Saiyan 2, everyone was knocked to the ground. Ye Bai tried to transform into a Super Saiyan, yet still failed. In the end, he too was knocked down, with Cell's foot pressing on his head.

Ye Bai struggled furiously in humiliation, but he could not move even an inch. He watched as Goku and the others, lying before him, struggled to get back up. Just as Cell was about to kill Ye Bai, Bulma appeared, shouting at Cell as she fired her gun at him.

Cell cursed, "Stupid woman," as an energy blast formed in his hand and aimed at Bulma. Ye Bai struggled with all his strength, but could only watch helplessly as the energy blast flew toward her. At that moment, a figure flew over and blocked Cell's attack.

It was Goku. The powerful energy blast blew Goku's body apart until only a faint trace of life remained. His eyes turned toward Ye Bai, slowly losing their light. Before Ye Bai could react, Cell fired another energy blast at Bulma. When the smoke cleared, only Bulma's battered body remained on the ground.

Scenes of Ye Bai's memories with Goku and Bulma kept surfacing. As a child, Goku had innocently introduced himself as Son Goku. Then there was Bulma, when they were young, pinching Ye Bai's cheeks and saying, "Xiaobai is so cute."

The memories slowly emerged in his mind. Tears slid down silently as endless grief and rage surged within him. In both the illusion and reality, Ye Bai's aura continuously burst forth, lifting his hair into the air.

Dark clouds gathered overhead as golden lightning raced across the sky. Golden light erupted from Ye Bai's body in an instant, dyeing his hair and eyebrows gold.

Yet it was not over. Ye Bai's aura continued rising, and the golden light around him flared even more violently. Only a single lock of hair remained swaying on his forehead, while the rest stood straight up. At last, his aura became a pillar of golden light that shot into the heavens. Because his aura was so powerful, blue lightning spread around his body.

The terrifying aura gave everyone training throughout the world a great shock. Goku and Vegeta also stopped fighting and looked toward the Heavenly Realm.

Ye Bai opened his eyes. Those light green eyes were filled with killing intent. Only after raising his head and seeing Shenron before him did he let out a breath, then close his eyes again to process his emotions.

"Your wish has been fulfilled. Farewell." Shenron hastily finished speaking, turned into seven Dragon Balls, and vanished into the horizon. Beside Ye Bai, Trunks had already transformed into a Super Saiyan, yet was still pressed flat against the ground by the aura. He hurriedly spoke up.

"Mr. Ye Bai, quickly pull back your aura. I can barely breathe."

Hearing his voice, Ye Bai opened his eyes. Only when he saw Trunks lying on the ground did he realize what was happening. He quickly withdrew his aura and helped Trunks to his feet.

"As expected of someone who defeated Uncle Goku in his normal state. After transforming into a Super Saiyan, I can't even withstand your aura." Trunks patted the dust from his clothes as he spoke.

"But why does your transformation seem a little different from ours?" Trunks returned to his normal state.

"Oh, this? It's the Super Saiyan Second Stage." Ye Bai dispelled his transformation, though his tone remained cold. The effects of the illusion had not yet fully faded.

"Super Saiyan Second Stage?" Trunks asked in confusion.

"That's right. It's a transformation stronger than Super Saiyan. If the first stage gives a fiftyfold increase, then the second stage gives a hundredfold increase." After speaking, Ye Bai took another deep breath and calmed his emotions.

"So that's how it is." Trunks nodded thoughtfully.

"Come on. I'll take you to train." With that, Ye Bai entered the temple first, and Trunks followed close behind.

After arriving at the temple, Ye Bai said he needed to borrow the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for training. Kami, who knew everything, said he could use it as he pleased, but the Hyperbolic Time Chamber had restrictions: a person could only use it for two days in their lifetime.

Of course, Ye Bai knew that, and he was confident he could break that limit. But there was no need for it now, so Ye Bai nodded and entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Trunks.

After opening the door and stepping inside, they saw nothing but blank white space. Behind them stood a small temple. The air was even thinner than in the Heavenly Realm, and the place naturally carried ten times gravity. After Mr. Popo, who remained outside the door, indicated that there was no problem, Ye Bai shut the Time Chamber's door.
