‘Beep beep beep beep… beep beep beep beep…’
[Power level: 990]
“So this is the scouter V2.0? It’s more accurate than the first-generation scouter and has more advanced features.
“To avoid exposing my full strength in the future, I’ll need to use more mental power to suppress the fluctuation of my aura.”
“I also have to further improve Ki Control.”
Playing with the scouter in his hand, Talot familiarized himself with its new functions and studied the improvements made in this upgraded version.
As a transmigrator, he was very familiar with this device.
A transmigrator?
That’s right!
He was not originally from this world but had transmigrated from another one.
It had been five years since that day.
He still remembered the day five years ago.
As a Dragon Ball fan, after learning about Toriyama-sensei’s death, he rewatched the Dragon Ball series to reminisce about his youth.
From the first series to Dragon Ball Z, to Dragon Ball Super, and Dragon Ball GT, including many movies and spin-offs…
Although he watched everything in 2x or 3x fast forward mode, focusing on the exciting parts, his already sub-healthy body couldn’t take it anymore after staying up all night and day.
His vision went black, and he passed out.
When he woke up, his soul had transmigrated into this world, becoming a newborn Saiyan.
From fear to excitement, from excitement to unease, and then from unease and confusion to bewilderment, he eventually adapted to his new identity over time.
It should be said he was lucky; he was born with a power level of 200, reaching the threshold of upper-class warrior. Therefore, from the start, his status was higher than that of a low-class warrior, and he didn’t need to be sent to a low-level planet for invasion, left to fend for himself.
Over the past five years, except for the first year spent in the incubator, Talot started various modes of training from the second year onwards.
He frantically collected information about the current era and began training to become stronger according to his plan.
Although his child’s body was still small and fragile, a Saiyan’s physique was exceptionally robust, incomparable to ordinary races.
Compared to his previous life, the difference was enormous.
Of course, this is the feeling that Talot gets from the power that the Saiyan body in this life possesses.
Putting aside power, just talking about the development of his body in all aspects, at the age of one, Talot was already as big as a three-year-old child in his previous life.
As for whether he could endure such excessive training?
After trying it himself, Talot understood why Gohan was so strong at four years old and why Trunks and Goten were so powerful as children!
You can’t use common sense to describe it; it’s just something you can’t even imagine.
In short, during these years on Planet Vegeta, he adapted to life as a Saiyan and laid a solid foundation through his unique training methods.
His power level increased from 200 to 990!
It is worth mentioning that Talot was able to learn Ki training without any teacher.
Although not particularly proficient, he managed to control his strength and sense the auras in a small range, which was already impressive.
It was precisely because he could control his aura from the beginning that his power level could increase so rapidly without being noticed.
Otherwise, if someone had discovered this, he might have fallen under the control of those with ulterior motives soon.
…
After sighing, Talot suppressed his aura until the scouter’s power level stabilized at 350. Only then did he stop suppressing it and put away the scouter.
The reason for suppressing it to this point was that his power level was 200 at birth. As their body grows, Saiyans’ inborn warlike-nature would gradually increase their power level even without training.
Just like his fellow upper-class warriors, whose power levels were around 200-300, increasing by about 30-50 a year.
At five years old, a power level of 350 wouldn’t make him a genius, nor would it make him a useless trash.
Talot did this intentionally; after all, as an adult and a transmigrator, he knew how terrifying this world was.
Low profile was the real way to survive.
Otherwise, take Raditz as an example, who was of the same age as him and was born with a power level of 200 just like him. At this moment, he has a power level of 500.
Such a growth rate is extremely rare among their entire race.
Since Raditz revealed such an amazing talent, he became part of the prince’s team.
Others might think this was luck and honor, but it was actually a shackle.
However, it must be said that Raditz was not a trash at all. At least he showed talent comparable to that of an upper-class warrior at the age of five.
But, it was really hard to understand why he had only 1500 power level when invading Earth in the original work.
Definitely a plot kill.
Before, Talot thought Raditz was just bragging, but after coming to this world, he realized this guy was quite hardworking; at least on the surface, Raditz was more diligent than him in improving his strength.
Coming back to his senses, Talot stood on a hillside and looked down at the city below. He could see the entire cityscape clearly.
Although it is called a city, it is actually only the size of a town.
In the distance was a huge city, the royal city of the Saiyan race, built with the help of alien technology and forces a few years ago.
As an upper-class warrior, Talot was qualified to live in the royal city, but since his parents were low-class warriors who had long passed away, he lived outside the royal city like most low-class Saiyans.
Only after making enough contributions could he enter the upper-class warriors’ circle.
Of course, Talot didn’t care much about these things.
The classification of low-class, upper-class, and elite was essentially about innate advantages.
While innate talent is important, acquired skills are even more crucial.
Those with great innate talent who don’t develop and utilize it will end up as nothing more than ants.
Like Vegeta in the original work, he spent more than twenty years seemingly invading planets in the universe and fighting endlessly, but his narrow perspective hindered his growth, limiting his power level to only 18,000.
For Talot, living outside the royal city was a good thing. At least he is free and not bound by restrictions.
…
[Five years have passed, and the time left for me is running out. Unfortunately, my power level still hasn’t broken through the 1000-point mark.]
While walking down the hill, Talot thought to himself.
In anime, manga, and novels, it seems like as long as you reincarnate as a Saiyan and work hard enough, your power level will skyrocket.
But when you actually experience it yourself, you realize how harsh reality is.
Improving strength wasn’t just about hard work, and power level can’t be increased just because you want it to.
Those fanfics where power levels reach hundreds of millions or trillions are just nonsense.
