Barros, watching from the sidelines, narrowed his pupils slightly. A flash of shock crossed his face as his gaze locked onto the Grand Elder.
Only he could sense it most clearly—under the Grand Elder's guidance, Hong Lise's aura and battle power were rising at a terrifying rate. In the blink of an eye, they had surged by a huge margin, breaking through the three-million mark before long.
A moment later, the Grand Elder slowly withdrew his right hand and sighed softly. "What a pity. She was still just short."
Even so, the expressions on Bardock, Xuesaiya, and the others' faces as they looked at Hong Lise were a sight to behold.
In that brief span of time, Hong Lise, previously the weakest female Saiyan present, had leaped into the ranks of the strongest, second only to Barros and Bardock.
She had not transformed into a Super Saiyan, but Barros could tell at a glance that her battle power had at least surpassed five million. It was a true qualitative leap.
Luo Liqing, who had long been unable to contain herself, immediately hurried forward and stood at the Grand Elder's side.
After having her potential unlocked by the Grand Elder as well, her battle power soared wildly, quickly catching up to Hong Lise and far surpassing the sisters Xuesaiya and Xuesaili.
Then Palanti, who had already been itching to try, took three steps in two and rushed ahead of Bardock, heading straight for the Grand Elder's throne!
The Grand Elder smiled faintly and placed his palm over her head. Just as he was about to draw out her potential, he suddenly gave a quiet cry of surprise. "What astonishing talent! It seems the Saiyan race is about to produce another Super Saiyan!"
"And... an exceedingly rare female Super Saiyan at that!"
