"Although it's hard to believe, the report is n—the scouter exploded when it reached a reading of 22,000. I've triple-checked it."

  "The test information we've received firms that Vegeta and Nappa were not killed and have safely left P Dada. However, the Saiyan with a power level of only 900, Raditz, was taken away. It's unclear why those two Saiyans only took the weakest of them."

  As Zarbon spoke, Dodoria's face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped down.

  If even a young Saiyan be this strong, doesn't that mean their existence is being a dire threat?

  In the past, the was that the Saiyan race would tio grow stronger, and more and more warriors with formidable power levels appear oer another.

  Noower level exceeding 10,000 is no loheir limit. Warriors with over 20,000 have appeared—and they aren't evea but other surviving Saiyans.

  Not only Dodoria, but Zarbon couldn't help but recall the legend they had onvestigated: the Super Saiyan.

  "Hoh hoh hoh hoh~~~!!" Frieza's ughter rang out as the twrave expressions.

  The ughter sent chills down Zarbon and Dodoria's spines, filling them with immense pressure.

  Being close to Frieza is like being close to a tiger; no one could guarahat he wouldn't vent his anger on them in the moment.

  "It's just a measly power level of 22,000. Look hhtened you are! Even if their power level exceeds that number, as long as you, Zarbon, and Dodoria, work together, you kill them all the same.

  "Don't lose fidence over some numbers. If I'm not mistaken, you two were just recalling that silly legend, weren't you?

  "Super Saiyan? If a so-called Super Saiyan only has a power level of 22,000, then that's pathetically weak. Hoh hoh hoh hoh~~~!!"

  As Frieza's words ended, Zarbon and Dodoria immediately dropped to one knee in fear.

  They weren't fools. Having served by Frieza's side for years, they knew better than to take his words at face value.

  "You are absolutely right, Lord Frieza! These insignifit Saiyan monkeys are nothing. Once we are sure of the targets, I will personally elimihem to prevent future troubles," Zarbon said, nodding.

  Dodoria might have been genuinely afraid, but Zarbon wasn't. After all, his power level was 23,000!

  For power levels above 20,000, the disparity in numbers didn't scale the same way as it did below that threshold.

  Even a difference of 1,000 points could be substantial.

  Moreover, with his transformation, his power level could reach 28,000!

  "o be so nervous, Zarbon. I trust in your abilities and your loyalty to me!

  "That said, I am quite curious about these two young Saiyans who suddenly appeared. How did they mao achieve a power level exceeding 22,000? If we could capture them and interrogate them…"

  "Ah, that reminds me of the time I destroyed P Vegeta. The Saiyan who resisted until the very end seemed to have a power level exceeding 30,000..."

  Frieza's words stirred memories for both Zarbon and Dodoria.

  The se from back then was still vivid in their minds, as if it had happened yesterday.

  That Saiyan who resisted to the end, acc to data, had a power level far beyond 30,000!

  Sihen, Zarbon had kept a close wat the power level ges of Vegeta's squad.

  Frieza was extremely arrogant, a trait born of his absolute power and high status.

  To Frieza, the Saiyan prince was nothing more than a dog he kept on a leash.

  The few Saiyans who had survived by sheer luuch trouble could they possibly cause?

  Everything was just his colle of toys!

  Yet Zarbohat if the Saiyan squad's talent and strength ever surpassed his, his own position would be at risk.

  Dodoria, standing to the side, didn't dare to speak.

  pared to Zarbon, he was far more timid.

  When it came to intellect, he couldn't pete with Zarboher.

  "Lord Frieza, are you pnning to capture them and ask how they've increased their power level?" Zarbon inquired cautiously.

  But after exging a gh Frieza, Zarbon quickly uood what he had to do and tinued, "I will iigate immediately and ehey are captured in the shortest time possible!"

  As soon as he finished speaking and was about to act, Frieza chuckled mogly.

  "Zarbon, you should stay by my side. The stretch of this space travel will be long. My elder brother has requested my presen the West Area, and apparently, Father is already on his way there as well.

  "Regarding the Saiyan matter, let's dispatch the Ginyu Force to ha. It so happens that I summohem a few days ago. It will prevent them from being bored and pining about having nothing to do."

  Frieza's calm tone carried a hint of ess.

  Of course, that chill wasn't directed at Zarbon or the Ginyu Force but rather at his elder brother, Cooler.

  Hearing this, Zarbon nodded respectfully ao rey the orders.

  Dodoria, oher hand, stayed by Frieza's side, still apprehensive.

  He was the kind of person who only knew how to follow orders.

  ...

  In the space...

  The spaceship cruised steadily through the starry expanse.

  You might wonder: after traveling for such long durations, where does a spaceship's energy e from?

  This was something Talot didn't uand. In short, it means that the spaceship was capable of self-absorption and energy version.

  Even if it really o vert energy due to a ck of some substance, he only o ihe raw materials prepared by Brief into the spaceship.

  Ihe spaceship...

  After a day's time, Raditz not only gained a certain uanding of Talot and Sari but also learned about the events that had transpired over the past three years.

  Ualot and Sari's arra, he even had a video call with his mine, oh and saw his younger brother, Kakarot.

  It was hard to believe, almost inceivable to him.

  He had thought his entire family was dead. Yet, not only were they alive, but they were living far better than he ever had.

  Most notably, Talot had far surpassed him, leaving him in the dust, and even Sari's strength had reached a level he could only dream of.

  Raditz felt quite frustrated.

  He recalled the parting words he had spoken back then—to have a good fight the ime they met.

  With his power level not even reag 1,000, he wasn't even capable of giving Talot a scratch.

  Talot could kill him with a single finger.

  Fortunately, Talot's words of encement gave him hope that he, too, could bee incredibly strong.

  This filled Raditz with a sense of anticipation for his own future.

  He firmly believed that if Talot and Sari could achieve such heights, so could he!

  Raditz's thinking was a bit simplistic, because with his strength, even gravity training was extremely difficult for him.

  Reag the same level as Sari would take at least one or two years.

  Moreover, Sari had undergohe Unlock Potential by P Namek's Grand Elder and had also learhe methods of training ki.

  Without such advantages, even if he adapted to a huimes gravity through his own efforts, Raditz's power level would, at most, barely reach 20,000.

  "So, this is the method for training Ki? This is how you hide your power level?" Raditz excimed in shock after hearing Talot expin the fuals of Ki training.

  To him, it was utterly mind-blowing.

  He had never imagihere was a way to trol one's power level.

  It was now clear that Ki training was one of the ways Talot and Sari have grown stronger.

  "Hiding your power level is just the most basic of basics! The essence of Ki training lies in learning to trol your Ki, to se... Through training, our aura tinuously grows stronger, allowing us to trol our strength at will in battle, capable of instantly cealing or unleashing it!"

  "Imagihis: if your dispyed power level is only 1,000 but you unleash a strength of 2,000, you'll be able to defeat oppos far strohan you."

  Talot tinued expining to Raditz, passing down his knowledge to help Raditz avoid any unnecessary detours iure.

  Talot's words filled Raditz with immeement.

  "Got it! With you two as my guides, I will definitely not hold you back!" Raditz nodded and began to think seriously.

  "For now, try sensing your aura. It shouldn't be too difficult for you." Talot first gave him a goal to work toward, and once he aplished that, he would let him experience gravity training.

  In truth, training was a deeply personal journey, and how far Raditz could go would ultimately depend on his own efforts.

  And so, Raditz's training began from this very moment.
