Whoosh!
Just then, something whistled through the air.
"Who's there?"
Vegeta and Raditz's expressions changed, and they turned to look.
When a familiar figure came into view, both immediately dropped to their knees.
"Vegeta..."
"Raditz..."
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Rise."
Lin Chen replied indifferently, his eyes narrowing slightly as his gaze settled on Vegeta.
So the child Paragus mentioned who was bothering Broly was Vegeta, the second lead from the original story?
That made sense. Among the younger generation, only Vegeta could possibly have the ability to exchange a few blows with Broly.
Ever since Lin Chen had taught the Saiyans the training methods from the original story, many of them had made tremendous progress.
As a gifted warrior second only to Son Goku in the original story, Vegeta had naturally increased his Battle Power considerably through these new training methods.
Vegeta's Battle Power had now surpassed 20,000, making him the youngest Saiyan aside from Broly with a chance of breaking through 100,000.
Even so, Vegeta still fell far short of monsters like Lin Chen and Broly.
"Vegeta, I need to speak with Broly. You and Raditz should leave for now."
"Um... Your Majesty... Could I ask you a favor?"
Vegeta suddenly took a step forward, looking at Lin Chen with extreme unease.
"What is it?"
"Your Majesty Linx, I... I heard Broly lived with you for five years and became your disciple. So I'd like to become your disciple too!" Vegeta said.
"Oh?"
Lin Chen's brow twitched, and a hint of surprise crossed his face.
Who would have thought the proud Vegeta would actually ask to become my disciple?
Even someone as arrogant as Vegeta could be won over?
Lin Chen felt a secret thrill at having earned the respect of the original story's eternally prickly prince.
He smiled, then said, "Vegeta, you have great potential. Given time, you'll certainly become a powerful warrior. It's just..."
"I'm sorry, Vegeta. There's nothing I can teach you."
"Huh?" Disappointment immediately filled Vegeta's face.
But Lin Chen's next words lifted his spirits again. "Vegeta, Broly isn't actually my disciple. He and I became this powerful because of our innate gifts. We were born with them. Even if you wanted to learn them, you couldn't."
"Innate gifts?"
Vegeta found that hard to believe. His father, King Vegeta, had always taught him that he was a king among Saiyans, a born warrior with royal blood flowing through his veins, and the most gifted warrior of all.
He had never imagined that his talent was actually insignificant compared to Broly's.
Seeing the shock on Vegeta's face, Lin Chen smiled and continued, "But you don't need to lose heart. No matter how great someone's talent is, it only determines their starting point and how quickly they grow. If you train diligently, you may well catch up to Broly someday."
"Really? I can really catch up to Broly? What about you? Your Majesty Linx, can I catch up to you?"
"Perhaps. Who knows?" Lin Chen smiled without elaborating.
After offering the future prickly prince some encouragement, Lin Chen sent the two children away.
He then turned to Broly.
They had not seen each other in over a month, and sure enough, Broly looked a little weary.
After seeing that, Lin Chen spoke without giving it much further thought. "Broly, why don't you come to Earth with me?"
"Earth?"
"Yes."
Clearly, the Saiyan way of life did not suit Broly.
After spending five years on Planet Namek at Lin Chen's arrangement, Broly's personality had become completely unlike that of a traditional Saiyan.
He was far too calm and reserved. Though still young, he was already like an old man, remaining unruffled no matter what happened.
That was a good thing, though. At least Lin Chen did not have to worry about Broly suddenly going berserk one day.
Now that Broly no longer wanted to live on Planet Vegeta, however, Earth would be a better fit for his personality.
As it happened, Lin Chen knew someone there who would definitely get along with Broly.
Not long afterward, Lin Chen and Broly suddenly appeared at Kami's Lookout on Earth.
Broly looked around the silent palace with curiosity.
"Kami!" Lin Chen called.
A moment later, Kami and Mr. Popo came over.
"Mr. Lin Chen, what brings you here again?"
At the sight of Lin Chen, Kami began breaking into a cold sweat. The pressure Lin Chen put on him was simply overwhelming.
Before Lin Chen could explain, Broly spotted Kami and cried out in surprise, "A Namekian!"
Kami looked bewildered. "Little one, do you know me?"
"Yes. Aren't you a Namekian? Why are you on Earth?"
"A Namekian? So I'm a Namekian?"
Having finally learned his origins, Kami felt happier than ever before.
So much so that when Lin Chen next asked to let Broly stay at Kami's Lookout, he readily agreed.
With Kami looking after Broly, Lin Chen could finally put his mind at ease.
Kami was a Namekian himself, so Broly would feel at home with him.
And in terms of temperament, Kami and Mr. Popo's easygoing natures suited Broly perfectly. Lin Chen believed he would be very happy here.
With that concern settled, Lin Chen had nothing left to worry about. He vanished and headed to West City to resume his training.
Time slipped by, and in the blink of an eye, more than nine months had passed.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing your choice: raise the Battle Power of more than 50 Saiyans above 100,000 within one year. Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing all three choices. All rewards are now being issued: five vials of S-Cells Serum, one Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and the beginner martial arts prodigy talent!
Inside the Gravity Room, which was still running at fifty times normal gravity, Lin Chen lay asleep on the floor.
But when the system notification sounded, he immediately got up from the floor, fully awake.
"System, is my mission complete?"
Ding! Verification complete. The rewards have been delivered to the system storage. Please check them, Host.
With a thought, Lin Chen looked into his system storage and saw that two new items had indeed appeared. One was a set of five vials of S-Cells. These cells could give Saiyans the ability to become Super Saiyans. Under normal circumstances, these cells could only increase slowly within Saiyans who lived in peaceful environments.
The other was a Capsule containing a Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
In addition, the beginner martial arts prodigy talent had appeared in Lin Chen's skills list. From now on, whenever someone used their signature technique in front of him, he would have a thirty percent chance of learning it instantly.
With three rewards earned all at once, this yearlong mission had certainly been worth it.
