Chapter 9
Change Begins Now
Chapter 9 Change Begins Now
Lin Chuan's criticism was so cruel.
Hit the nail on the head.
Raditz gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury: "As Saiyans, at the moment of our birth, the heavens have already determined how high our achievements will be, and how vast the gap will be between us and certain others!"
"Yes! My combat power is indeed only 1500 points! But it's not as bad as you say! Do you think I don't want to become stronger?! Do you think I'm content with the status quo?!"
"Even if your combat power is as high as 5000 points! Don't insult me like that!!"
This is Raditz's heartfelt sentiment; he has always been fighting against fate.
But in his heart, he still believed that talent determined everything!
Even though he is a high-ranking warrior, he only has the lowest level of talent among high-ranking warriors.
It's true that Saiyans have a starting combat power of 200 points or more, but there are countless Saiyans who have reached that level.
He was able to follow Prince Vegeta because his father, Bardock, was a representative of the lower-class Saiyan warriors. It was an arrangement made by the former king to put on a show for all the lower-class Saiyans and to win their hearts.
……
"Really? Then why is your brother Kakarot able to do this? Also, I'm very sorry to tell you, but my combat power at birth was only 50 points!" Raditz's excitement did not cause Lin Chuan any emotional fluctuation; instead, he answered even more calmly.
These words once again left Raditz in disbelief.
Nappa and Vegeta on the other side of the galaxy were even more shocked.
His starting combat power was only 50 points, making him merely a low-level warrior! Yet he managed to raise his combat power to 5000 points!
It's worth noting that Raditz's starting combat power was 200 points, but now it's only 1500 points.
Naba, a descendant of a prestigious family among the superior warriors, is an elite warrior!
My starting combat power was 800 points! And it's only 4000 points now.
Of course, Vegeta wouldn't compare himself to that.
Because Vegeta considers himself a genius, no matter how clever any Saiyan is, they can't compare to him!
He was born with a battle power of 2000 points, the highest in Saiyan history, and now he has a battle power of 18000 points.
He is the strongest Saiyan in history.
……
"How did you do that? Talos... no! Lin Chuan." Raditz took a deep breath.
He wanted to know.
Upon hearing this, Goku and Piccolo on the other side also perked up their ears.
They also wanted to know, and were very curious about how Lin Chuan became stronger.
They weren't fools; they naturally understood what Lin Chuan meant.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan laughed again.
The fact that he said so much shows that it was still useful to Raditz.
The fact that Raditz could ask this question shows that he has wavered in his original beliefs and also desires to become stronger.
After a moment's thought, Lin Chuan spoke: "One's initial combat strength is merely an innate advantage; it doesn't represent the limits of future growth!"
"So what if we're low-level warriors? Like Kakarot, like me, our combat power is only two points and fifty points respectively, but through hard work and training, we can still continuously grow stronger!"
"A high starting point doesn't guarantee success! A low starting point doesn't mean you're destined to be weak!"
"Let me put it this way, you think you've always been working hard, but you probably don't know what true effort really is!"
"When you think you've reached your limit, others are actually putting in ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times more effort than you!"
As Lin Chuan gradually began to speak.
Raditz was stunned, his mind racing.
As a result, Vegeta and Nappa, who were also able to hear this through the communication function of the power detector, were quite shocked.
None of us are fools; we've all come this far, experiencing hardships and obstacles along the way.
However, they have indeed been complacent and wasting their time all these years.
Because once their combat power reaches a certain peak, it stops increasing.
Even increasing combat power by 1 point is incredibly difficult.
Actively cultivate?
In their view, what difference would it make even if they did it?
……
"Well said! So what if I'm a low-level warrior? Even if I was born with a combat power of only 2, I won't give up easily."
"As long as I work hard enough, I can overcome anything!"
Inspired by Lin Chuan's words.
Sun Wukong's voice came through.
Clearly, he wholeheartedly agreed with Lin Chuan's statement, because that's exactly how he got there.
Bick nodded in agreement, even though he didn't say anything, he clearly agreed.
"Tch!! Kakarot, do you really think you can surpass me, your older brother? Stop joking!" Raditz gritted his teeth in anger.
They say they don't believe it and are unwilling to accept it, but in reality, they are wavering.
Recalling the previous battle, he realized that he had seriously underestimated Kakarot, and even felt a slight fear towards him at the end.
If Lin Chuan hadn't appeared, he would probably be dead by now, and there wouldn't be anyone here today.
At this moment, Lin Chuan also fell silent.
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong, having already caught his breath, protected his son and firmly replied, "Although you are indeed very strong, brother, I don't think you're invincible! Over the years, Piccolo and I have been training, but not as diligently as we used to be! Now that we've seen a wider world, our strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds in the coming period!"
"Am I right, Piccolo!"
Sun Wukong was confident; being simple-minded and without guile, he spoke the absolute truth.
"Hmph! You don't need to take me with you! You Saiyans are indeed powerful, but I, Piccolo Daimaō, will surpass you one day."
"And another thing, is your older brother really that strong? He was almost killed by my Special Beam Cannon! You arrogant fool, you don't even know how to train to become stronger, you just rely on your talent to grow? Utterly stupid!" After the cold words fell, Piccolo's gaze fell on Lin Chuan again.
He knew that his real target was him!
At least they managed to hold off his Special Beam Cannon, which was beyond its limits and capable of killing Raditz, with one hand.
So effortlessly, and without a single scratch.
What does this mean?
The gap in strength is like an insurmountable chasm.
Raditz's forehead veins bulged from Bick's sarcasm, but he didn't react.
Anger was inevitable, and that was indeed the case.
He mainly understood Piccolo's evaluation of him, which meant that he was obviously talented, but he didn't cherish it and train properly. Who could he blame for being so bad?
If Raditz had really worked harder in his training all these years, or rather, tried harder to become stronger...
Perhaps, the situation isn't actually like this.
Upon seeing Lin Chuan's combat power increase from 50 points to 5000 points, Raditz seemed to see a glorious future beckoning to him.
At this moment, everything, all the thoughts of the past, have become nothing but a fart.
Compared to increasing strength, what is this if not a fart?
