"Boom!"
A surge of energy continued to erupt from within Jiang Chen. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented power coursing through him.
The energy unknowingly enveloped his entire body.
"It's done!"
"Guest, it's finished."
"Your potential is truly remarkable. For the sake of your physical well-being, I have only guided a portion of it."
A gentle voice came from the Namekian Great Elder.
Jiang Chen finally recovered from the overwhelming aura surrounding him.
"Thank you, Great Elder."
Jiang Chen bowed respectfully.
"No need for thanks!"
"Guest, I have already instructed Elder Two and the others to prepare the Dragon Balls once more. You may utilize them at any time."
The Great Elder shook his head and spoke calmly.
"Thank you, Great Elder!" Jiang Chen expressed his gratitude once more before taking his leave.
As he stepped out of the room, Jiang Chen eagerly activated his scouter.
"Beep, Beep!"
The readings on the device began to fluctuate wildly.
In an instant, the numbers displayed on the scouter reached a level that profoundly surprised Jiang Chen.
"15000."
Looking at the numbers, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement, despite having anticipated this outcome.
Though in the later stages of the Dragon Ball saga, a battle power exceeding 10,000 would be considered unremarkable, even insignificant compared to lesser combatants, that was only after the events on Namek. In this current era, a battle power of 10,000 represented the pinnacle of strength in the universe.
And 15,000 units of power? It was a level surpassed by very few beings across the cosmos.
For Jiang Chen, the most significant aspect was that he had transcended the perceived limitations of Saiyans.
Typically, even the most powerful Saiyans possessed battle powers ranging from 8,000 to 10,000. Those who surpassed 10,000 had effectively shattered their inherent limitations.
This meant that a certain threshold within his body had been unlocked, paving the way for a significantly smoother path forward.
Furthermore, he now possessed the ability to transform into a Great Ape while retaining his intellect. With a base power of 15,000, it could be considered equivalent to a battle power of 100,000.
While not without its drawbacks, this level of power undoubtedly placed him among the most formidable beings in the universe.
"Congratulations!"
"Take some time to acclimate to this newfound strength, and we can spar in a few days."
Zeno approached, offering his congratulations in a gentle tone.
"Thank you!"
"Alright!"
Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.
He didn't decline Zeno's challenge, despite recognizing Zeno's superior strength.
Though a traveler, Jiang Chen retained the inherent Saiyan bloodlust for combat.
"Let's go, Elder Two has been patiently awaiting our return."
"I shall lead you there!"
Zeno nodded lightly, then signaled to Jiang Chen before ascending into the sky.
Jiang Chen followed swiftly.
A moment later, they arrived at the residence of Elder Two.
"Elder Two!"
"Elder Two!"
Zeno and Jiang Chen greeted him respectfully.
"Guest, the Dragon Balls are prepared!"
"Do you wish to utilize them now?"
Elder Two turned to Jiang Chen, inquiring.
"Yes, Elder Two!" Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
"Please wait!" Elder Two responded, then moved towards the seven massive Dragon Balls.
He began to chant in the ancient Namekian tongue, summoning Shenron.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
The sky above was instantly shrouded in thick, dark clouds.
Then, the seven colossal Dragon Balls emitted an intense light, ascending into the heavens and piercing through the storm clouds. A gigantic green dragon emerged from the heavens.
"State your wish. Any wish within my power, you may make three."
Shenron Porunga's voice resonated, and Elder Two turned his gaze towards Jiang Chen.
"Elder Two, my first and second wishes are to transform all the energy within Raditz's scouter into Energy of Destruction and to transport him to Namek."
Facing Elder Two's gaze, Jiang Chen stated his wishes without hesitation.
Compared to Earth's Shenron, Namek's Shenron was undoubtedly more stringent, with limited flexibility in fulfilling requests. Thus, Jiang Chen could only utilize two wishes to bring Raditz to Namek.
Whether these two wishes were considered a waste was irrelevant. In the Dragon Ball world, agonizing over the expenditure of wishes was a futile exercise.
The Earth's Dragon Balls could be summoned once a year, while Namek's Dragon Balls were available every six months. Furthermore, the Dragon Balls of Planet Hêreri and the Super Dragon Balls existed. As long as one possessed sufficient strength, obtaining a wish was a relatively simple endeavor.
Utilizing two wishes to bring Raditz to Namek did not cause him a moment's regret.
"Fuli guā lā lǐ pǐ sì xǐ!"
A strange Namekian phrase echoed through the air.
In the next instant, Shenron Porunga's voice resounded once more.
"This is a simple task."
Shenron's eyes suddenly glowed with an intense red light.
…
Meanwhile, on Planet Salta, three figures had just completed their mission and were enjoying a hearty meal together.
However, the current atmosphere differed significantly from their previous encounters.
Though Vegeta remained the leader, Nappa had been supplanted by Raditz in the hierarchy.
Nearly two years had passed, and Raditz had undergone a remarkable transformation.
Initially, under Jiang Chen's tutelage, Raditz had achieved a Battle Power exceeding 400. However, over the past two years, his Battle Power had surged beyond 1,000. In contrast, Nappa's Battle Power had only reached 700, still far from 800.
"Let us depart,"
"The next destination is a planet of formidable challenges. Nappa, if you remain this ineffectual, you may as well perish on our next mission!"
Vegeta stood up, his voice laced with a chilling coldness.
"Yes, yes, Prince Vegeta."
Nappa quickly rose to his feet, a hint of apprehension evident on his face.
Raditz, standing beside him, also silently rose to his feet.
However, as he stood up, the scouter on his person suddenly shattered.
The sudden explosion startled them all.
Raditz was momentarily startled, but a flicker of joy soon appeared on his face.
"Who is it?" Vegeta snorted coldly.
But before they could react, an unexpected event transpired.
"Swish!"
A beam of light enveloped Raditz in an instant.
In the stunned gazes of Vegeta and Nappa, Raditz vanished from their sight.
"Prince Vegeta!" Nappa instinctively rubbed his eyes, glancing towards Vegeta.
Vegeta's expression hardened. He soared into the sky, scanning the surroundings for any sign of Raditz.
However, despite his efforts, he couldn't locate any trace of Raditz.
