Early the next morning, Raditz arrived at the venue of yesterday's battle. Cabba and Caulifla were punctual, and they'd also brought along a newcomer—Kale.
Kale was extremely introverted and appeared fragile, making it impossible to connect her with the Legendary Super Saiyan. She half-hid behind Caulifla, addressing her as "Sister" repeatedly, keeping her head down and not daring to look at Raditz directly.
Those eyes were timid, like a frightened lamb.
"Don't be afraid, Kale. This is the Raditz I told you about—he can become a Super Saiyan! It's incredible! Haha, I think you can do it too!"
"But..."
"Just watch!" Caulifla walked forward with Kale and greeted Raditz. "Raditz, I'm here right on time, and I'm definitely going to master the secret of transformation today!"
"That depends on your own efforts."
Raditz smiled lightly and began explaining his transformation experience. Although Super Saiyan transformations varied between individuals, the required factors were similar. To sum up, there were several key conditions.
Caulifla, Cabba, and Kale all listened intently, and it was rare for the usually energetic Caulifla to calm down completely.
Due to their growth environment, the Saiyans of the sixth universe had a greater advantage in transforming into Super Saiyans, but after entering the Super Saiyan level, they were far inferior to warriors like Vegeta and his ilk. Their talents were decent, but they lacked the life-and-death experiences that forged true strength—they were simply too far behind in that regard.
In other words, all they possessed were special tickets to enter the gate of the Super Saiyan realm, but once inside, there was no inherent difference. And because Super Saiyan strength was affected by base combat power, the real level between Super Saiyans could vary dramatically.
For example, Raditz's combat power in normal conditions could crush Caulifla. Even if Caulifla became a Super Saiyan, she would still be far inferior to Raditz's transformation—the gap would actually double!
After listening to Raditz's description of the several conditions and the cases of Kakarot, Vegeta, and others, Caulifla yelled, "So it's that simple! I understand!"
"Sister..."
"Kale, I'll show you right away." Caulifla clenched her fists, gritting her teeth excitedly as she prepared to transform.
My combat power has basically reached the standard, and my physical fitness is sufficient. Isn't it just a change in mood? That's not hard!
A wave of blazing white aura enveloped her body, surging high. She stared at Raditz, her face becoming fierce. She channeled Vegeta's pride and anger, and her unwillingness to lose to Raditz ignited the flames in her heart. For a moment, her emotions churned violently, causing her heart to twitch with pain that spread through her back and chest.
"Hiss—" She drew a sharp breath, and Caulifla's hair twitched slightly as her anger intensified!
Is she going to succeed? Cabba and Kale watched with surprised expressions.
But it didn't last long. She was defeated, wheezing and sweating profusely.
"Damn it, it still doesn't work!"
"Did you think you could succeed casually? You did change somewhat, but you haven't stabilized it. Super Saiyan isn't just an increase in ki—it's a complete leap. Work harder!"
After Caulifla, Cabba also tried to break through. He imagined the behavior of villains like Frost and Mero, guiding his own emotional changes and gradually producing a stronger reaction than Caulifla.
The burst of aura was extremely intense, and Cabba's hair showed faint golden highlights, but he couldn't maintain it. The energy subsided after a loud roar.
"Cabba, you..." Caulifla truly saw Cabba's potential. She gritted her teeth, her competitive spirit burning again.
Not to be outdone, she challenged herself once more, and it was rare for her to become completely serious as they pushed each other to greater heights.
Raditz guided them for a while, then had them spar against each other to find the feeling of battle. Before they knew it, it was already noon, so Caulifla proposed continuing practice after lunch at home.
After half a day of training, they felt they had touched the edge of the Super Saiyan transformation. Except for Kale, who cowered and hid to the side, both of them had made tremendous progress.
At this speed, it wouldn't take long for them to successfully transform, but the first transformation was just the beginning. It would take repeated practice to truly master the Super Saiyan realm to the point where they could use it at will. Of course, with their talents, there would be no problem at all.
Raditz decided it was time to attend to his own business.
After a sumptuous lunch, Raditz announced his departure, which surprised everyone.
"Mr. Raditz, are you leaving so soon?" Cabba asked hurriedly.
"I've already taught you what I should teach you. Next, I'm going to handle some business of my own. See you later." Raditz said with a smile. "By the way, that boy named Ramso—you can consider making him a full member. He's quite good."
"I see." Cabba nodded, feeling somewhat reluctant to see Raditz go. Although they were from different universes, they had formed a genuine friendship during their battles.
Renso felt a bit regretful as well. After all, Raditz was from the seventh universe and would always want to return home. He thought for a moment and said, "By the way, Raditz, if you can't find a way to go back, you could try contacting the Metamorans. They have many secret techniques—maybe they can help."
"The Metamorans?" Raditz caught those words and suddenly widened his eyes.
At this moment, Renso was startled: "Um... yes, the Metamorans. What... what's the matter?"
Raditz didn't speak for a moment.
The Metamorans possessed incredibly magical powers, and Goku's fusion technique had been taught by the Metamorans. By having two people perform a strange synchronized dance and then reach out with one finger each touching, a mighty warrior could be created. Goten and Trunks had merged with Super Saiyan power, and the resulting Gotenks actually possessed Super Saiyan 3 strength! Kakarot had also fused with Vegeta to become Gogeta, defeating Janemba with power far beyond Super Saiyan 3!
Fusion technique was an extremely effective combat method. Although the time was only thirty minutes, and it might even change due to energy limits, for a master, one minute was enough to destroy an enemy.
Raditz had also wanted to visit Planet Metamor, but found that the Metamorans in the seventh universe had disappeared, with the few remaining ones scattered across the galaxy, making them impossible to find.
At that time, he'd guessed that the Metamorans might have suffered the same meteorological disaster as Namek. It turned out that Kakarot had met a Metamoran in the afterlife, which confirmed Raditz's conjecture.
But the Metamorans in the sixth universe were intact and developing prosperously.
"Excellent! I'm going to visit the Metamorans!"
The delighted Raditz shouted excitedly. What he wanted to learn wasn't just the fusion technique—maybe there were other secret techniques that even the Yardrats didn't possess?
Caulifla froze for a moment, then snorted: "Hey, Raditz, don't just leave after you're done! Come back and fight with me again! I'll definitely be a Super Saiyan by then!"
"Haha, we'll see about that."
Raditz's mind had already flown to Planet Metamor. This trip to the sixth universe was proving to be incredibly worthwhile.
