Potential

"If I were to break through to the Middle Dantian and Upper Dantian dantian normally, it would take me about seven or eight years. But with your infinite energy on the Android 17, it should only take about a year!"

Son Wuling said to Android 17!

Is that so?

After speaking, Android 17 glanced at Number 18, who was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed over her chest, and said, "I think Number 18 is more suitable to go than me!"

Number 18: "What? Android 17, what are you talking about?"

Son Wuling: "What? Android 17, what are you talking about?"

Son Wuling and Number 18 spoke in unison, their words overlapping. Under the sunlight, they glanced at each other. Looking at Son Wuling, Number 18 felt a strange flutter in her heart, her cheeks slightly flushed—don't misunderstand, she was angry!

Son Wuling quickly said to Android 17, "Android 17, what are you saying? The environment in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is terrible, how could Android Number 18 possibly stand it!"

Son Wuling's words immediately displeased Number 18. Number 18 lightly tossed her golden hair and asked accusingly, "Son Wuling, what do you mean? Are you saying I'm just a pretty face? Huh!"

"Forehead..."

Son Wuling was taken aback, realizing that what she had said might have been ambiguous, and quickly explained, "Of course not... Number 18, there's a difference between men and women, and besides, I might be staying there for more than a year!"

"Hehehehe... No problem, there's a bathroom, two beds, and plenty of food. Let Number 18 go with you, Wuling!"

Son Goku's words made Son Wuling widen.

"Hey, I'm talking about the differences between men and women, the differences between men and women, hey!"

Son Wuling gritted his teeth, almost shouting out loud.

Piccolo chimed in, agreeing, "Since Goku said so, let Number 18 go with you, Wuling! Girls are more perceptive, like Videl; their control over Natural Energy might be better than boys'!"

Son Wuling pointed at Piccolo, inwardly cursing, "Are you trying to say you're a girl? Piccolo, wait, that seems to imply I'm being dragged into this too!"

Videl cheered, "That's right, that's right, Master Wuling! Let Android Number 18 go with you! You must open up all your Dantian! Defeat that big bad Cell! Make him regret ever being born!"

"Hmph, Son Wuling, even Kakarot said so, what are you still hesitating about? Just like Piccolo said, Videl can absorb Natural Energy just like you. Maybe girls really can absorb this Natural Energy more easily than us men!"

Vegeta was filled with a strong desire for revenge, especially seeing Son Wuling's bewildered expression. He felt a strange sense of satisfaction. To be honest, Son Wuling also had a kind of androgynous handsomeness. He had thought many times about making Son Wuling wear women's clothing and taking pictures to get back at him.

"Oh, could it be that Son Wuling, you said there's a difference between men and women, and you really have some improper thoughts about Number 18?!"

Vegeta's face broke into an uncontrollable smile, especially seeing Son Wuling get humiliated; he was even happier than when he transformed into Super Saiyan!

"Vegeta ..."

Son Wuling was speechless after Vegeta's words. He turned around and looked at Number 18, who was staring at him.

"Tch, he doesn't even care about Number 18, so why should he care? It's good to have a beautiful woman to look at!"

Thinking of this, Son Wuling went back to prepare some things. Just as he was about to leave with Number 18, Son Goku said to Piccolo, "Oh right, I took all the Senzu Beans from my house. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Korin should have a lot of Senzu Beans stored up, don't forget to go and get them!"

After saying Number 18, he sensed the presence of the Kami and Popo, and Instant Transmission to the Lookout.

"Senzu Beans, Goku, hurry and get the Senzu Beans back!" Piccolo said to Son Goku immediately after hearing what Son Wuling had said.

"Yes, I know!"

Son Goku placed two fingers on his forehead and Instant Transmission to Korin, retrieving all the Senzu Beans. There were ninety-five in total, more than enough.

At this time, East City was still in darkness. Under Yulin's persuasion, Laira put away her usual arrogant and aloof demeanor!

"Cell, do you feel that your power at the Mature Stage is still insufficient?"

Laira's tone remained cold, a demeanor befitting someone long accustomed to a position of authority, maintaining her inner pride and dignity!

"Heh..." ⌓‿⌓

Wuling Cell looked at Laira with utter disdain, his arms crossed over his chest, almost causing Laira to lose control. Wuling Cell's appearance made her want to raise her hand and chop him down.

"Actually, you still have potential. Although you don't have Frieza's cells, Cold's cells, combined with your own Super Saiyan transformation, can allow you to reach a new level!"

"Cold, is that the alien?"

Wuling Cell frowned in confusion, looking at his hands! Had the cells inside him, belonging to the alien named Cold, not fully realized their potential?

"I can help you unleash your full potential, but let me tell you, even if you fully develop your potential, you still won't be able to defeat Son Wuling!"

Laira's words made Wuling Cell's eyes widen in disbelief.

"What, what did you say? Hahahaha... You're kidding! Son Wuling is no match for me now. You're saying even if I unlock my full potential, I'm still no match for Son Wuling? You're a charlatan, no, a lunatic, hahahaha..."

The mocking laughter of the Wuling Cell made Laira clench her fists uncomfortably, and the silver ring on her ring finger shimmered in the moonlight.

"Heh... If that's the case, you're stronger than Son Wuling, so why are you still so afraid of him? You didn't dare kill him just now, so why did you run away!"

Laira directly struck at Wuling Cell's most sensitive spot!

Wuling Cell replied angrily, "Who knows what other dirty tricks that bastard has up his Son Gohan's ki! If I hadn't broken through at the last minute, I probably would have died at Son Gohan's hands. Dr. Gero was right, Son Wuling really is the most evil and despicable guy in the world!"

Yulin whispered to Laira, "Looks like he's scared, Lady Laira. I never imagined Son Wuling could scare this guy like this!"

Laira nodded in agreement, the silver ring on her ring finger shimmering in the moonlight. Looking at Wuling Cell, she said, "I can unleash all your potential, but I need the genetic material of Son Wuling from this timeline. I no longer have the chance to obtain it from Son Wuling himself, so I thought of you!"

"What do you intend to do with Son Wuling's cells and genes?"

Wuling Cell asked, puzzled. He was eager to know the potential of Wuling Cells and genes, knowing he hadn't fully explored it. His search for the Dragon Balls was also for Son Wuling's Spirit Immortal School!

"What I need is the gene of Son Wuling from this timeline. Only a child born from the blood and genes of Son Wuling from this timeline will be the one I desire. After that, my child with Son Wuling will surely conquer the entire universe and become the new ruler!"

Laira was no longer the aloof and arrogant woman she had been just moments before. Instead, she spoke with a hint of madness, and her words left Wuling Cell utterly astonished, so much so that his jaw nearly dropped to the floor. It was a shock that would last him for a whole year.
