Potential Unleashed! The Grand Elder's Hint

Chapter 92 Potential Unleashed! The Grand Elder's Hint

In the holy land.

Lin Chuan finished his final round of training and was bidding farewell to the Great Elder of the Adtra Star People, Keru.

"Thank you for taking care of me during this time. I've been here for quite some time now, and although I'm also very interested in other abilities, I have to leave now."

Facing the Grand Elder, Kelu, Lin Chuan expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Without his personal instruction, he probably wouldn't have been able to grow so quickly.

Not to mention learning three special skills so quickly.

"Although I would love for you to stay on our planet Adela, I know you absolutely will not."

"No matter what, no matter when, you will always be a friend of us, the Yadratians! So if you have any needs in the future, please feel free to come to us. If we can help, we will do our best." Elder Kru stated.

Lin Chuan knew this all along.

In fact, these days, Korlu and the other Adela aliens have all been focusing their attention on him.

All the people of Adela wanted to keep him, this powerful being, so that he could become the protector of their planet.

During this period, they even used what they considered to be a honey trap.

Perhaps she was a great beauty to the Adela aliens, but Lin Chuan, as a human, could never accept her.

"Then I thank you in advance, and I believe that someday in the future, I may come again."

"Please tell Supa, Husu, and Tate that we'll meet again someday."

Lin Chuan's words also seemed to provide the Adela aliens with a guarantee.

I was just about to use Instant Transmission to go directly to King Kai's North Planet.

Unexpectedly, King Kai approached him at this time.

"Lin Chuan, I have something important to tell you." The voice of the North King echoed in Lin Chuan's mind.

"King Kai? What's going on? I was just about to come find you." Lin Chuan was puzzled by King Kai's initiative to contact him, and his impatient manner.

This old guy has never done this to him before.

After thinking about it, a guess came to mind.

[It's about Namek. Namek is currently under invasion by Frieza's army and needs your help.]

[Actually, I should have told you a few days ago, but I was afraid it would interfere with your training. Now I have to tell you because Goku, Raditz, and the others have arrived on Namek.]

Lin Chuan's brow twitched at the words of the North King.

[I see. Judging by the timeline, it's about time for the plot to move forward.]

Because of the message Vegeta brought to Frieza, Frieza went to Namek to retrieve the Dragon Balls.

Having formed an idea in mind, Lin Chuan continued, "You really are quite patient, telling me this news only now. Aren't you afraid something unexpected might happen?"

I was thinking that you could teleport, allowing you to travel directly across the universe to Namek, so...

Lin Chuan found the North King's answer to be even more cunning and treacherous.

"I understand. I was planning to go to your place first, but since the situation there is special, I'll go and take a look." After saying this, Lin Chuan ignored the First Elder, Ke Lu, standing to the side.

He teleported instantly, locked onto the spatial imprint on Namek, and disappeared from the spot.

This sudden disappearance, along with Lin Chuan's words, filled Elder Ke Lu with fear and disbelief.

King Kai also has some special legends on certain planets.

Therefore, the elders and wise men of Planet Adela, as well as the elders of the Namekians, had all heard of it.

……

At this very moment, we are located outside Namek.

A large spaceship bearing the Capsule Corporation logo pierced through Namek's atmosphere and finally landed safely on a huge deserted island.

The hatch opened, and many people walked out.

They are Goku, Raditz, Gohan, Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Krillin... and of course Bulma.

"Is this Namek? Although Gohan has explained it very clearly, seeing it with my own eyes is still incredible. The environment is so different from Earth." Goku looked around and sighed. The next second, his expression changed drastically, and he looked sharply into the distance.

"That chillingly evil aura... it must be Frieza, right?"

"Truly terrifying. I never imagined there were such powerful beings in this universe."

Sun Wukong's murmur caused everyone to amplify their senses, trying to detect the sinister aura that enveloped the entire world.

Everyone was more or less shocked, especially Tien Shinhan, Gyoza, Krillin, and Yamcha.

Although their strength is now vastly different from what it used to be, they are still no match for Piccolo, Goku, Raditz, and Gohan, whose strength far surpasses theirs.

"Hmph!!! To set my sights on my home planet Namek, no matter how terrifying Frieza is, I will make him pay the price." Piccolo's words were fierce, revealing his strong emotions.

He wasn't afraid at all, because to him, Frieza's aura, though evil and immense, was actually inferior to his own.

This is inevitable, because Piccolo's fighting power is already a million.

If Frieza didn't transform, his combat power would only be 53 points.

……

The scene flashes back to a week ago.

While they were cultivating, they suddenly received a distress message from Namek from Dandy.

Everyone made a decision immediately, boarded the spaceship carrying the gravity training chamber, and headed to Namek.

If Lin Chuan were here, he could have easily teleported over here.

However, Lin Chuan has been missing since he left more than a month ago.

Sun Wukong and Raditz also learned about Lin Chuan's whereabouts from King Kai, who said he was practicing new skills on some planet called Adela.

It's fair to say that after more than a month of intense gravity training, everyone's abilities have leaped forward by a generation.

Leaving aside dumplings, Tianjin rice, Klin, and Yamcha.

Goku and Raditz's strength has already exceeded 30 points!

It even approached 40 points.

The effects of more than a month of gravity training on the Saiyans were remarkable.

With an intensity more than 150 times greater, coupled with the brothers' relentless training, they constantly got injured and recovered, and continued to grow stronger.

It should be said that Lin Chuan was also fortunate to have found the Cat Sage and negotiated a deal to grow Senzu Beans.

He also warned Yachirobe not to continue his reckless behavior.

Otherwise, the Z Fighters would never have enough Senzu Beans to use.

"Dad, I think I can sense a very familiar aura. Vegeta, whom I injured on Earth last time, is here too, and his aura is fluctuating in strength!" Gohan suddenly said, and everyone focused their attention on sensing it.

Sure enough, they sensed Vegeta's presence, and there were several other very powerful auras nearby.

"Vegeta? I didn't expect him to be on Namek too. His aura... is a bit strange. Could it be that he has also learned how to control his aura?" Goku murmured after carefully sensing it.

At the same time, his mood became more excited. Last time on Earth, no one could be decided. This time, when they met again, even though he was no longer the same person he used to be, he still wanted to have a good fight with Vegeta and decide the winner fairly.

What about Raditz?

He couldn't possibly have the same thoughts as Sun Wukong.

In his view, his strength has reached its current limit, and he is confident that he can fight Frieza.

Vegeta was completely ignored by him.

Saiyan prince?

A joke from a bygone era.

Raditz now has this kind of mentality: what level am I at now, and what level are you at now?

"If Vegeta were here too, that would be great. I was defeated by Nappa back then, and this time, I might have to have a good exchange of blows..." Tien Shinhan thought of Vegeta.

The memory of his crushing defeat at the hands of Naba serves as a constant reminder to him to become stronger.

"With our current strength, we can definitely defeat Vegeta! As long as he doesn't transform into a Great Ape." Krillin chimed in, clearly eager to take revenge after being beaten so badly last time.

Most importantly, their own strength has increased.

"Don't worry! I've already thought about how to deal with the Great Ape transformation! Whether or not it can be stopped, as long as the Saiyan's tail is cut off, the Great Ape transformation will be canceled." Yamcha said confidently.

His face was full of confidence, with the words: "Cutting off the tail, I'm good at that."

The conversation continued until finally, Piccolo spoke up, interrupting the group who were eager to make a move.

"Come with me. Just now, the Grand Elder learned that we have arrived on Namek and he wants to see you." As he spoke, Piccolo slowly floated into the sky.

Upon hearing this, the Z Warriors all wore different expressions, each with their own thoughts.

Sun Wukong and Raditz had long wanted to see the Grand Elder to try and unlock their potential, so they followed without hesitation.

The others exchanged glances and followed suit.

Yamcha was the only one left, and he glanced at Bulma.

She was thinking of asking if he needed to take her along, but Bulma completely ignored him and, after turning the spaceship into a capsule, immediately created a jet.

A hint of resentment began to grow in Yamcha's heart.

He realized that he had completely lost his place in Bulma's heart.

Now, it's too late for regrets.

He could only direct all his hatred towards Lin Chuan.

It was because of Lin Chuan that he lost the future wife who was rightfully his.

Yamcha had no idea that he was far too arrogant, believing himself to be an absolute powerhouse on Earth, with beautiful women and money at his fingertips...

Only after losing it did he realize that he had missed out on the best.

Even if there is a vast forest, he and that forest will not last long; it will only be a small part of his life.

……

A few minutes later, the Z Fighters, led by Piccolo, arrived at the Elder's residence.

Nail, who had been guarding the Grand Elder, nodded to Piccolo after noticing the arriving Z Fighters and said, "So you've finally arrived, Piccolo. The Grand Elder has already given instructions; you may go in."

Having received permission, Piccolo and Nail exchanged a glance and nodded, then looked at Goku and his group before finally entering the Elder's room together.

Upon seeing the Elder, whose size was so enormous, everyone couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

"You... are you the Grand Elder? Just as Gohan said, you are truly great." Although Goku's words were exaggerated, his attitude was very respectful, and he also greeted him.

"Welcome, friends from faraway Earth. Thank you for coming to help us fight off our enemies. All Namekians will remember this kindness."

"Cough cough cough... Piccolo, have them line up. I don't have much time left, so consider this a way of repaying your kindness and developing your potential one by one."

"I hope that with my development, you will be able to turn the tide."

The Grand Elder was unusually anxious.

He seemed to realize that his life was coming to an end and wanted to make one last contribution.

Upon hearing this, everyone except Piccolo and Gohan forgot about the meaning of dying of old age and their faces lit up with excitement.

After all, unlocking their potential is too tempting; it allows them to surpass their limits and become even stronger.

Piccolo and Gohan are the best examples!

After their potential was unlocked, they were completely different from before.

Soon, everyone lined up in an orderly fashion, with Sun Wukong leading the way as the first to unleash his potential.

Then they went to Raditz, Klin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Gyoza.

The process of developing potential lasted for a full ten minutes.

After everyone's potential had been fully explored, the Grand Elder's condition was extremely poor.

"Your strength... has really increased a lot! Is this how you developed your potential, Elder?! Amazing!" Sun Wukong could feel the powerful energy flowing through his body, which made him feel flattered.

The power now is several times greater than before!

This rate of improvement is far, far faster than cultivation.

Sun Wukong had no idea that his combat power had already reached over a million points.

"So powerful!! Power is erupting continuously from my body!!" Raditz's fighting power surged once again, and his ego swelled to an extreme. Now, he was even confident that he could easily defeat Frieza.

He can also be a Super Saiyan!

As the distance drew closer, he grew increasingly excited.

"Unbelievable, is this really my power?!" Krillin felt like he was dreaming. His combat power had jumped from nearly 4 points to 12 points.

"In such a short time, we have developed our potential power. This method surpasses my year of hard training and is far inferior to the results of my hard training in the gravity training room." Tien Shinhan clenched his fist, and he could feel his whole body full of power.

His combat power has increased from 5 points to 15 points.

"Tianjin, I also feel like I've become much stronger, and my superpowers have improved too," Dumpling happily reported.

Even though Chiaotzu is the weakest of the Z Fighters, his fighting power has increased from 10000 to 3.

"If I had this power back on Earth..." Yamcha's combat power increased from 3 points to 7 points.

The sudden increase in his strength made him resent that this power had come too slowly.

If the Earth were that powerful, he wouldn't have lost face so badly.

"Cough cough cough... How much your strength can improve is also greatly related to the accumulation of your potential... Everyone's potential is different, and you are the children I have ever seen with terrifying potential."

Exhausted from physical exertion, the Grand Elder's face showed signs of fatigue.

The group then snapped out of their euphoria at the increase in power.

I was so out of control just now that I almost forgot about the Grand Elder.

People who develop their potential inevitably pay a very high price.

This can be perceived from changes in breathing.

"Friends who have come from afar, the future of Namek... is in your hands..." the elder said weakly.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Having received kindness, one should naturally reciprocate.

A guarantee is essential, but it is not an absolute guarantee.

After all, even if their strength increases, no one knows how things will develop.

Only after the problem is solved can we truly say that they have saved Namek.

……

After seeing the Z warriors off, the Grand Elder sighed.

As someone capable of foreseeing the future, how could he not know that even with his help, this group would likely be unable to withstand that ultimate terror?

"Nairu," the elder called out.

"Elder Master." Upon hearing the summons, Neru strode in and stood respectfully before the Elder.

With just one glance, he could tell that the Grand Elder was now extremely weak.

Such repeated potential development takes a huge toll on both mental and physical strength.

In a sense, this has indirectly shortened the already limited lifespan of the Grand Elder.

"Nail, you are the strongest warrior left on Namek... Now my life is coming to an end..."

"Go help those people and Piccolo... Nail... Maybe in the end we'll need you... Sigh..."

The elder gave only half of his instructions before finding it difficult to continue.

He didn't want to see anyone sacrificed.

Neru seemed to understand the elder's intention.

"As long as you are alive, I will never leave your side..."

"Unless, when that time really comes."

Neru said firmly.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder did not speak further, but simply closed his eyes silently.

The countdown to life has begun.

……

At the same time.

It is located about three thousand miles northwest of where the Grand Elder is located.

By this time, Vegeta was already battered and bruised all over.

Especially the right arm, the bones in the entire arm were broken, almost a comminuted fracture.

His combat suit was ripped apart, and he was covered in blood.

His opponent was Licoum of the Ginyu Force.

Just like in the original story, Vegeta became arrogant after arriving on Namek because of his strength.

Since recovering from his serious injuries, his strength has greatly increased. He defeated Sabo and Dodoria on Namek, which further boosted his confidence.

Having crippled Frieza's right and left hands and destroyed all the power detectors, Vegeta believed his actions would no longer be detected.

Frieza couldn't find him, nor could she threaten him.

Now, the arrival of the Ginyu Force has shattered his hopes.

Just one Licom almost crippled him.

Despite having a combat power index of 40,000 points, he still appeared extremely fragile.

He was searching for a way out of the impasse, but the current situation seemed like a dead end no matter how you looked at it.

No one could save him.

[Damn it!! Is this really the end? I haven't even become a Super Saiyan yet... I'm not reconciled!!!]

[Talos, why are you a Super Saiyan?! I'm the most talented Saiyan!!]

Vegeta shouted in his heart.

"Hehehe~~!! Little Vegeta, what's with that desperate look on your face? You were so arrogant at the beginning."

"Even if you're planning to give up, you'd better let me have some fun. The torture has only just begun!!"

Licoum laughed cruelly and mockingly.

Not far behind him, Burt and Geese were having a playful discussion about how Vegeta would die next.

Gudu sneered sinisterly, waiting for Recoome to crush Vegeta to death.

He and Vegeta are sworn enemies, the kind who are mortal enemies.

"Recoome, hurry up and kill him. If we keep wasting time, King Frieza will get impatient," Ginyu said at this moment.

"I know, I know, Captain." Recoome waved his hand impatiently, but still signaled to Captain Ginyu not to rush.

Ginyu was already used to this.

Vegeta is now just a grasshopper; although he can jump, he can't jump very high anymore.

They have obtained the Dragon Balls, thus completing the mission Frieza gave them: to retrieve the six Dragon Balls stolen by Vegeta.

Is the outcome already decided?

However, it is often at this moment that accidents happen.

The power detectors of all the Ginyu Force members reacted.

Multiple powerful combat forces were detected approaching at an extremely fast speed.

"What's going on? Is it a Namekian, or Vegeta's comrade? Does he have comrades?" Ginyu was confused.

My gaze followed the direction indicated by the combat capability detector.

Meanwhile, the other Ginyu Force members were also looking in the same direction.

In the distant horizon, several figures sped towards them and landed quickly, arriving at Vegeta's location.

Those who arrived were none other than the Z Fighters who had fully unleashed their potential.

I came here to find out what was going on and to understand the situation.

"Kakarot?! And Raditz!!" Upon seeing the 'old acquaintances' he regarded as enemies, Vegeta's eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.

They also arrived on this Namekian planet.

"Hey, isn't this our Saiyan prince, Vegeta?"

"They got beaten up like this by the Ginyu Force, that's really pathetic."

Upon seeing Vegeta, Raditz instinctively launched into sarcastic remarks.

"Raditz! You!!!" Vegeta gritted his teeth in anger upon hearing Raditz's taunts.

If his body hadn't already reached its limit, he would have definitely crushed Raditz to ashes.

"Alright, alright, big brother, say less. So, what's going on now?" Sun Wukong, caught in the middle, noticed something new.

"Isn't Vegeta on their side? He got beaten up like this, could it be...?" Krillin, standing to the side, also had a nascent thought.

"Is it because of the allure of the Dragon Balls that they started fighting each other? They were just outnumbered," Tien Shinhan commented after giving Vegeta a cold look.

His gaze fell on the members of the Ginyu Force, while Vegeta was quickly ignored.

Firstly, Vegeta suffered a severe injury, causing his strength to plummet.

Secondly, he was no longer interested in Vegeta in this form; on the contrary, the enemy on the other side was more tempting.

"These guys all look really strong. We have to get the Dragon Balls back. How about we each take on one of them? It'll be a good opportunity to test our current strength," Yamcha said.

If we're talking about who wants to show off their improved skills the most, it has to be him.

In order to stand out, he also set his sights on Recoome, who was tormenting Vegeta.

If he defeats Recoome, wouldn't that mean he's far superior to Vegeta?

Vegeta was completely bewildered at this point.

What the hell is this? One person against one??

He thought this Earthling had gone mad.

……

The Z warriors were talking.

The Ginyu Force team is also communicating.

How could they not be furious when Yamcha said such a thing?

"What arrogance! That long-haired guy only has a combat power of 20,000 points. Who's going to kill him?"

"There are others, but they're all just a bunch of guys with combat power of only ten or twenty thousand points."

Who is Ginyu?

As Frieza's strongest elite, even though he was originally recruited from the Groudon team, he was still second only to Frieza.

Over the years, he fought for Frieza on countless planets. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

They are just inferior humans.

At Ginyu's command, Gudu, Bart, Giss, and Licoum responded simultaneously.

"I haven't had enough of fighting Vegeta yet. Leave this long-haired guy to me. I'll make sure he knows how stupid he is." Recoome directly regarded Yamcha as an ant.

It just so happens that they both want each other to be rivals.

"I don't really care who it is, but since I have a choice, I'll take Raditz. He's a Saiyan after all, so I can get some exercise too," Geese said, selecting Raditz.

They were all searching for the strongest person on the other side.

Otherwise, if we're too weak, we won't be able to withstand their punches and kicks.

They have no idea that each of the Z Fighters they are selecting possesses the power to annihilate them.

Raditz completely ignored what he said.

Now, apart from Frieza, who is worthy of his attention, the Ginyu Force is not even worth considering.

"Geese, you're really cheating! Then give me that tall, bald guy with three eyes." Bart chose Tien Shinhan.

Sun Wukong was clearly ignored; with his harmless appearance, no one would think he was powerful.

Unlike the original story where Sun Wukong made a powerful entrance, instantly defeating Recoome and crushing everyone else, this time it was a different story.

"Then I'll take care of those two short guys first..." Gu Du's combat strength was low, but he had the secret technique of stopping time, so he was quite calm.

The atmosphere became exceptionally heavy.

"Ginyu Force! All troops mobilize!!" came Ginyu's command.

Four special operations team members launched an attack simultaneously.

The Z warriors responded immediately.

Yamcha and Recoome clashed, thus beginning the battle.

Tien Shinhan faced off against Burt, the two directly competing in speed, and ended up on another island.

Geese was dismissed by Raditz, while Klin was full of fighting spirit and stepped forward.

Geese was dismissive of this, but Krillin's imposing presence surprised him, and the fight was forced upon Geese against his will.

What about Gudu?

His targets were both Klin and Dumplings.

But now they're being stopped by dumplings.

This is not just a battle of combat power, but more importantly, a contest of superpowers!

……

"Gohan, give me a Senzu Bean." Watching the battle begin, Goku remained calm and unaffected.

After all, everyone's strength has already surpassed that of the opponent.

"Okay, Dad."

Son Gohan obediently took out the bag of Senzu Beans from his pocket, took out a Senzu Bean, and handed it to Son Goku.

Raditz and Bick, who were standing nearby, both frowned upon seeing this.

When Goku tossed the Senzu Bean to Vegeta, the two of them were stunned and dumbfounded.

Vegeta was puzzled.

I don't know what this thing is for.

"Hey, Kakarot, are you crazy? Giving Senzu Beans to that guy!!" Raditz scolded in bewilderment.

In his view, giving it to Vegeta would be a waste of resources.

"I can't understand this either, Son Goku. You've brought this upon yourself," Piccolo said coldly.

He had absolutely no liking for Vegeta.

"Give him a Senzu Bean. After all, I haven't defeated him with my own hands yet. If he dies like this, there will be one less opponent in the future, which would be a pity."

Sun Wukong made up a random excuse to brush it off.

His saintly heart was overflowing, and he was eager to bring Vegeta, who had defeated him, onto their side as well.

Then, after Vegeta also becomes stronger, he will defeat him one-on-one.

"Vegeta, this is a Senzu Bean. Eat it, and it will not only heal your injuries immediately but also restore your power," Goku said to Vegeta.

Upon hearing this, Vegeta was immediately shocked.

It's hard to imagine that this thing could have such an effect.

After a brief silence, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the Senzu Bean.

He had no choice!

The effects kick in as soon as the magic bean is swallowed.

Vegeta felt his muscles swell, and not only were all his injuries healed, but even his old ailments were completely cured by the Senzu Bean.

Having recovered from his severe injuries and fully recovered, his combat power has also experienced an explosive increase.

"This...this thing actually has such a terrifying effect?!" Vegeta was shocked by the Senzu Bean as he felt the energy surging within him.

Such a thing is actually a product of Earth.

His strength has increased by at least two times compared to before!

At this moment, he looked at the Z Fighters again, his eyes widening.

Especially Yamcha, who was instantly killed by Nappa, was actually able to suppress Recoome in a short battle.

That's someone who could easily crush him.

Their strength has increased so much?!

So, what about Kakarot and Raditz...?

Vegeta felt a chill run down his spine and turned his incredulous gaze to Goku.

At this moment, Sun Wukong and Raditz seemed to be shrouded in a fog, making them unfathomable to him.

The gap has widened considerably.

Vegeta clenched his fists involuntarily, his resentment reaching its peak, his eyes bloodshot.

……
