In the original work, Planet Namek’s Great Elder’s unlocking potential method could have been said to be the safest and most effective way to increase Battle Power in the entire dragon ball story.
It does not aim to increase it by sacrificing the potential of a person, nor is it simply overdrafting the person’s future potential to achieve a concentrated burst within a short period of time.
Instead, through a similar exchanging method, it can be considered as Great Elder releasing the potential in advance, actually saving time for training. Although it is not known what Great Elder exchanges for it, this method of unlocking potential does not itself cause harm to the person’s body!
In the original work, Krillin and Son Gohan’s battle power was originally only around thousand points. But after their potential was unlocked by the Great Elder, their Battle Power suddenly increased to more than 10,000. That growth rate was astonishing!
Deducing from that, Xiaya doesn’t know to what level he could reach after his potential was unlocked. He was somewhat expectant in his heart.
