As the battle between Raditz and Talot came to an end, without any suspense, Raditz once again suffered a crushi at Talot's hands.
For Raditz, such a result was nothing new. He had grown so aced to losing that it no longer fazed him. her Sari nhts showed the slightest surprise either.
If there ever came a day when Raditz mao defeat Talot, that would be the real shocker.
Raditz had long accepted failure. He didn't have a mental breakdown because of losing.
After all, the differen their strength was so vast that he fully uood there was no way for him to gain an advantage over Talot.
For Talot, their fights were nothing more than a py fight, a way to warm up.
If Raditz hadn't been so insistent, Talot wouldn't even have agreed to spar with him.
After the fight, the two returo the keside where Sari and Tights were waiting.
They had already prepared food, and the four of them enjoyed lunch together, chatting and ughing as they ate.
For the past two months, living on this p had felt like a vacation. At least here, there were no schemes or betrayals, no sinister plots to deal with.
Long after lunchtime passed, Raditz, fully recovered, now challenged Sari to a spar. Tights, speechless, left to focus on her writing.
Retly, she had been struggling with writer's block. Certain parts of her plot weren't ing together the way she wanted, and she was doing her best to adjust them.
Meanwhile, Talot began his own training.
Over the years, his strength had steadily increased. Though his power level has only reached 190,000 so far, Talot believes he has put in siderable effort to achieve such strength at his age.
Moreover, he never resorted to the Saiya code of massive power boosts through near-fatal injuries.
Nor did he further unlock his potential in one fell swoop to push past his limits.
Of course, if he wao, he was fident he could double his strength in one go.
After accumuting power for so many years, Talot believed his potential, onleashed, would be nothing short of terrifying.
That said, Talot had no iion of relying on such methods—at least not yet.
In fact, he hadn't even bothered with gravity training these days.
Over the years, the three of them had gradually adapted to 100 times gravity. In fact, both Raditz and Sari had already begun training under 150 times gravity.
As for Talot, he had perfectly acclimated to 200 times gravity.
Gravity training indeed signifitly and rapidly enhane's strength. However, once you push yourself to a certain point through relentless practice, your body's natural limits will start to restrict further growth.
Because of this, Talot had retly shifted his focus to bang training with rest and delving deeper into Ki training.
Additionally, every so often, he dedicated time to attempting breakthrough in the Super Saiyan transformation.
As a Saiyan, attaining Super Saiyan is an absolute must!
"What am I g? Is it really just a matter of power level not being high enough to break through that barrier?"
Talot ched his fists tightly, his breath steady and trolled, trating with absolute focus. Bit by bit, he eled his energy, direg it toward the ter of his spine.
Throughout the entire process, Talot was extremely cautious, p all of his energy into it.
When all his energy had finally verged at the ter of his spine…
"Haahhhhhhh!!!!" A deep roar erupted from Talot's mouth.
The power he had accumuted instantly exploded outward.
BOOM!
A violent aura surged out with Talot as the ter, and an overwhelmingly heavy pressure desded upon the nd.
The aura tio rapidly increase, causing the otion to grow more intense by the moment.
This situation caught the attention of Raditz and Sari, who were sparring in the distance, causing them to focus their gaze in Talot's dire.
They wereirely sure what Talot was attempting, but simir outbursts had occurred several times retly.
"Again? What is Talot up to?" Raditz muttered under his breath.
Sari, however, had a more serious expression. "Brother Talot must have some kind of pn. If he's not saying anything, there's no point in us asking."
With that, the two ceased their sparring.
If they had known Talot was trying to break through to Super Saiyan, they would have been utterly stunned.
The legend of the Super Saiyan was familiar to every Saiya none of them truly believed they could attain it themselves.
......…..
At this moment, Talot's aura had surged to its peak.
In previous attempts, his aura would have dissipated upon reag this point.
But this time was different. Within the searing, snow-white aura, faint streaks of golden light began to emerge.
This was the prelude to a breakthrough!
Energized by the development, Talot's eyes lit up with excitement. He pushed himself further, f an eveer output of energy.
The golden glow grew brighter and more trated. It seemed like the breakthrough was within reach. Just one more step, and he could transform into a Super Saiyan.
However, this state only sted for a few seds. The golden light flickered and faded, as if drained of power. Talot's once-climbing aura plummeted abruptly like a cliff.
"Failed again, huh? Still, this time the sensation was even clearer than before," Talot murmured to himself as he reined in his aura.
Though the repeated failures brought a tinge of disappoi, the steady progress with each attempt gave him motivation to keep pushing forward.
Isn't the path of training and the process of improving one's strength built upon such gradual accumution?
Time trickled by, and before he realized it, half an hour had passed.
After careful refle, Talot absorbed the lessons from this experience.
It was then that—
Beep, beep, beep!
The scouter emitted a rapid series of alert tones, drawing Talot's attention. He raised his hand and pressed the button to answer.
"Talot, you o e back immediately. We've just intercepted another critical piece of intel on the Frieza Force. They're pnning an move," Tights' voice came through the scouter.
The news made Talot pause for a moment.
Just two months ago, they had thwarted one of the Frieza Force's major pns. And now, they are moving again. The Frieza Force really never rests, do they?
"Uood. I'll head baow."
After a brief reply, Talot took a deep breath. He trolled his aura to a certain level, and then immediately activated the flight teique, heading straight toward the spaceship's location.
