Lin Chen was delighted to hear that.

The greatest drawback of a Legendary Super Saiyan was that, once they unleashed their full power, they would lose control of their strength and their sanity, becoming killing machines that knew only battle and slaughter.

Lin Chen had originally planned to find a solution after merging with the bloodline. He had never expected the system to resolve the problem for him in one go.

A setback could turn out to be a blessing. Looking at it that way, spending five years merging with the bloodline had been worthwhile.

"System, can I see my power level?" Lin Chen asked.

"Of course. Measuring power levels is one of this system's functions."

The system replied, then displayed several lines of text in Lin Chen's mind.

Host: Lin Chen. Power level: 550,000 Bloodline: legendary Saiyan bloodline Skills: Instant Transmission, Ki Control.

His power level had risen from 100,000 to 550,000 in five years. That could hardly be considered fast, but this was only the beginning. Now that Lin Chen had awakened, the legendary Super Saiyan bloodline would truly begin to work.

"Oh, right, System. Can I turn into a Super Saiyan now?"

"The host currently has insufficient S-Cells. It is estimated that your power level must reach at least 1,000,000 before you have enough S-Cells for a true transformation. For now, you can only enter the Pseudo Super Saiyan state," the system replied.

Pseudo Super Saiyan? Wasn't that from one of the oldest movies? Lin Chen suddenly thought.

"The host has merged with the Super Battle version of the legendary Saiyan bloodline, which differs slightly from the Dragon Ball Super version."

Hearing that, Lin Chen felt relieved. The Super Battle version of the legendary Saiyan bloodline was more powerful, but its strength was also more prone to running out of control. With the system's help, at least he would not have to worry about suddenly losing control one day and killing every companion around him.

After checking his condition, Lin Chen looked up.

He had already sensed two sources of ki above him. Both were familiar; they should belong to Broly and the Namekian Nail.

"System, check their power levels!" Lin Chen ordered.

A moment later, he saw the power levels the system displayed for the two of them.

This function was even more useful than the Frieza Force's Scouters. He did not have to worry about an excessively high power level causing a Scouter to malfunction, either.

Nail: 42,000. Broly: 230,000!

Lin Chen was a little startled. Before he fell asleep, Broly's power level had been only 10,000. Now it had reached 230,000!

It had increased almost twenty-threefold!

As expected of someone who also possessed the legendary Saiyan bloodline, huh?

He truly was extraordinary.

Meanwhile, above the sea...

Broly and Nail had already noticed the sphere of light beneath them gradually fading away.

At first, they had thought Lin Chen would emerge immediately, but as time passed, there was still no movement beneath the surface.

"Uncle Nail, do you think something happened to Brother Linx?" Broly asked anxiously.

"Calm down. His ki hasn't disappeared. He might have only just awakened..."

Before Nail finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared before them.

"Hey! Broly! Nail!"

Seeing that Lin Chen had truly awakened, Broly immediately laughed and threw himself at him. "Brother Linx!"

The two embraced. Looking at the cheerful expression on Broly's face, Lin Chen found it hard to connect him with the gloomy, withdrawn Broly from the original story.

Letting him grow up on Planet Namek had indeed been the right choice.

"Linx, what exactly have you been doing these past five years? Why has your ki changed so much?"

Even though he had known Lin Chen for a long time, Nail remained wary of him.

Lin Chen smiled and was about to explain... when his expression suddenly changed and he looked up.

Broly and Nail did the same.

All three sensed numerous powerful, evil sources of ki approaching Planet Namek from outer space.

Boom!

A moment later, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the sky.

The three then saw an enormous spaceship descend through the atmosphere.

"A Frieza Force ship?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow. The ship before him was the same model as Frieza's ship, which he had destroyed back then.

Could Frieza or another member of the Frieza Race have come?

No, the ki inside that ship was much weaker than Frieza's. It should be a small squad, right?

He had already scanned them with the system. Among these arrivals, the highest power level was only 170,000.

Frieza, for example, had a power level of 530,000 even in his first form.

Clearly, whoever was aboard the ship was merely some high-ranking officer, not a member of the Frieza Race.

"You worms on Planet Namek! This is the ship of Lord Pegen of the Space Pirates! Have whoever is in charge of your planet come out to meet us immediately!"

"Otherwise, we will destroy this planet!"

"You have ten minutes!"

As soon as the ship entered the atmosphere, a booming announcement rang out from it, spreading across the entire planet.

"Those damned invaders!" Nail gritted his teeth and prepared to rush out and teach them a lesson.

But Broly stopped him. "Uncle Nail! Someone on that ship has stronger ki than you! Let me go!"

While the two argued, Lin Chen smiled. "All right, Broly. I've been asleep for five years, and I could use a little exercise. Neither of you is taking this one from me."

With that, Lin Chen shot high into the sky, flying toward the spaceship.

After five years without moving, he was itching to stretch his muscles.

Since these people were not members of the Frieza Force, he had no reason to hold back.

"Lord Pegen! The Scouter has detected someone approaching!"

While Lin Chen was still flying, the spaceship overhead had already detected him.

Inside the ship, an alien shouted.

A hulking, one-eyed man sat in the command chair. He was Pegen, the commander of this force.

Propping his head on one hand, he asked, "Who is it? A Namekian?"

"He looks like a Saiyan?"

The ship's monitor displayed the approaching figure.

After seeing Lin Chen's hair and the tail behind him, the aliens immediately identified him.

"A Saiyan?"

Pegen froze for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Who would have thought we'd find a Saiyan on Planet Namek!"

"Those damned Saiyans! I heard they vanished without a trace after seriously injuring Lord Frieza five years ago. To think we'd run into one on Planet Namek! Deploy the troops immediately! Make sure you take him alive!"

Pegen stood, clenching his enormous fists. "King Cold recently resurfaced, and he's recruiting powerful fighters to rebuild his King Cold Force. I only intended to investigate those legendary Namekians before going to join him, so I'd have a gift to present to him... I never expected to find a Saiyan!"

"Heaven itself is helping me!"

"Listen up, all of you! If we capture this Saiyan and get the whereabouts of the others out of him, King Cold will definitely reward us handsomely! He might even make me a legion commander! So make sure you catch him!"

"Yes, sir!"

As the roar rang out, figures flew from the ship one after another.
