Guiding Potential

Unlocking Potential

Nail led everyone to meet the Namekian Grand Elder. Inside the cave right now, the Grand Elder of the Namekians was much larger in size than the other Namekians, and beside him lay a basketball-sized One-Star Dragon Ball.

The Grand Elder kept his eyes tightly closed, giving off a feeling of exhaustion and fading away, and he looked very old as well.

"Thank you, my friends from afar!"

The Grand Elder's voice carried a very weak feeling.

"All of my children have been killed... cough, cough, cough. I'm truly unwilling to accept this."

The Grand Elder's words caused Dende, Piccolo, and Nail to all tightly clench their fists in anger.

"They seem to have all come for the Dragon Balls! The Dragon Balls symbolize the wisdom and strength of the Namekians, yet I never expected this hope-filled orb would bring about such a disaster!" the Grand Elder said, his voice carrying a trace of weariness and helplessness.

"It's alright, Grand Elder. You don't need to be sad. Back on our Earth, there are also the seven Dragon Balls created by Kami, who is also a Namekian. When the time comes, all those dead Namekians can be wished back to life by the Dragon Balls!"

Son Wuling stepped forward a step and said to the Grand Elder.

"R-Really? Everyone, can everyone be brought back to life?" Dende looked at Son Wuling excitedly and asked.

"That's right..."

Son Wuling looked toward Piccolo and suddenly answered in a cold voice, "However, the pity is that the Dragon Balls on our Earth can only grant one wish. Even if we revive everyone, we still won't be able to leave this place! Therefore, we still need to snatch back the Dragon Balls on Frieza's side and wish for all of us to leave Namek!"

"Ah... But, Uncle Wuling, our, our strength is just way too far apart from Frieza's!" Son Gohan asked nervously. Frieza's ki was shockingly huge and could be clearly engraved within their minds.

"That's right, so I'm also thinking of a way on how to lure Frieza over, and... Oh dear, almost forgot. Grand Elder, wait a moment! This will be useful to you."

Son Wuling condensed his palms, and the Natural Energy around him gathered in his palms. A thumb-sized sphere of natural primeval energy formed, and he explained, "This ki comes from nature and is filled with the breath of life. Grand Elder, I know you already have the resolve to die, but it can't be now. Let's wait until everyone is safe before considering these things. This ki can restore your spirit a bit, and the things that follow might become a bit more convenient."

With that, Son Wuling waited for the Grand Elder's reply.

After a silence of more than ten seconds, the Grand Elder spoke. Also because it concerned the life and death of the Namekians, he chose to agree. "Very well, I leave it to you, Earthling!"

Whoosh...

The Natural Energy in Son Wuling's hands poured into the Grand Elder's body, filled with the blooming of life. The Grand Elder's ki recovered some luster, and even under the nervous watch of Dende and Nail, he stood straight up.

"Ha... I never thought I'd still have a chance to be young once again! Thank you, Earthling." The Grand Elder looked at his own body and laughed out loud, even opening his eyes that had been tightly closed all this time.

"My name is Son Wuling!"

Son Goku and the others also introduced themselves one by one. Afterwards, the Grand Elder looked at Piccolo!

"Sure enough, are you Katatz's child? Truly astonishing. You've grown up. Have you returned upon sensing that Namek is in trouble?"

Piccolo slightly lowered his head, looking somewhat unnatural, just like a child who had done something bad encountering their own parent!

"Grand Elder..."

"But why? Your latent talent should be more than just this! Why did you split into two? Can one who becomes a god not have a shred of evil in their heart? Such a pity. If you two were to fuse, your talent might truly not be limited to just this."

The Grand Elder extended his palm. Having received Son Wuling's help, he now recovered a trace of his strength, and his palm faced Piccolo!

"What?"

Piccolo was just about to struggle when he found that he was unable to move.

"You all possess extremely powerful strength, yet you still have a lot of latent power that hasn't been brought out. Son Wuling, and that kind-hearted Saiyan Son Goku, along with Son Gohan—if you all bring out this latent power, perhaps you really can defeat Frieza."

"Latent power..."

Son Wuling remembered rather vaguely, but he still remembered that both the Namekian Grand Elder and Old Kai possessed the ability to unlock potential, though the two seemed to be different.

If Old Kai's potential unlocking was a complete rebirth and transformation, then the Grand Elder's was perfectly drawing out the power currently resting within oneself that hadn't been utilized, and it didn't affect oneself at all.

Hum...

Suddenly, an extremely massive wave of ki condensed on Piccolo's body. Piccolo widened his eyes in disbelief. T-This power is simply unbelievable to the point of being terrifying!

The ki Piccolo suddenly erupted also caused Vegeta, who was wandering about blindly on Namek, to sense it.

"T-This ki belongs to that Namekian from Earth. What on earth happened? How did his power suddenly grow so strong?" Vegeta said in shock, unable to speak, before finally gritting his teeth and flying over.

Frieza's Scouter instantly sensed the ki Piccolo had erupted.

Bang!

The newest model Scouter also exploded.

"Impossible. His battle power actually exceeded one million."

Frieza got down from his throne. The battle power Piccolo erupted with was already enough to keep him from sitting still.

"Ho ho ho... Truly interesting. To think there's still a fellow with a battle power exceeding one million. Ho ho ho..."

Frieza flew in the direction the Scouter had just detected, while the remaining six Dragon Balls floated behind him together, wearing excited smiles.

"Oh no, both Frieza and Vegeta are flying over toward here!"

Son Wuling looked at Piccolo anxiously. At this moment, the Grand Elder was unlocking the unutilized power for Videl.

"The Dragon Balls—the remaining six Dragon Balls are here too!" Bulma hurriedly pulled out the Dragon Radar and shouted.

Hum!

The ki on Videl's body also erupted accordingly. Although very weak, it was much stronger than Vegeta's current level, though whether she could really win in a fight was hard to say!

It looks like Videl still needs a bit more development! She really does train quite hard, Son Wuling couldn't help thinking to himself. Satan was merely someone he found to serve as a public face, plus teaching a disciple with talent was also quite good. Most importantly, Videl was just like him—an Earthling, and she had also earnestly met his requirements.

"Frieza... Hmph. Goku, Wuling, Gohan, you guys wait here. Just let me handle Frieza!"

Piccolo walked outward, revealing a battle-hungry smile. He couldn't wait to fight Frieza, feeling as though Frieza right now was simply no match for him at all.

"Videl... I also have a mission to assign to you. Are you willing?" Son Wuling looked at Videl, who was enjoying his caress and acting like a spoiled little kitten, and spoke.

"Master Wuling, go ahead and say it! I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

Videl wore the same purple martial arts uniform as Son Wuling. The power that had suddenly surged right now made her unable to wait to prove herself.

"While Piccolo is fighting Frieza, you bring the Dragon Balls back. Can you do it?"

Son Wuling looked toward Son Gohan, who had already finished, and continued, "If you can't, then once Gohan is ready in a moment, you two can go together."

"No, Master Wuling, I can definitely complete the mission, and I'll absolutely bring the Dragon Balls back!" Videl gave Son Gohan a defiant look and hurriedly replied.
