"Shua!"
"Crash!"
An illusory tide swept out. In an instant, a gentle and enveloping force emerged. Figures crossed through time and space, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Universe 7. Earth. The Lookout.
"Crash!"
The tide surged again, and the next moment, everyone appeared.
"Hu!"
When they saw the familiar scene, they all let out a sigh of relief one after another.
What they had just gone through felt like a dream:
The Null Realm, the battle with Universe 6, and that terrifying being from the depths of the Demon Realm...
"Hmph!"
Vegeta snorted coldly. The next moment, he turned into a streak of light and descended from the heavens. He was the first to leave, and soon after, the others departed one by one.
Lastly, only Raditz, Son Goku, Bardock, Son Gohan, Goten, and Trunks remained.
GT Goku had already left with the God of Destruction, Beerus, and GT Vegeta had stayed in the Kaiōshin realm to train with the Old Kaiōshin.
One wanted to increase his own strength. On the other hand, Vegeta wanted to master Kaiōshin abilities.
"Aspara!" Raditz hesitated for a moment, then finally stepped forward and spoke hesitantly.
"What is it?" Jiang Chen looked at Raditz with a trace of doubt.
"Aspara, can you train me?" Feeling Jiang Chen's gaze shift toward him, Raditz gritted his teeth and voiced his purpose.
The tournament against Universe 6 had made him realize the difference in ability between himself and others.
He had underestimated his opponent, which was part of why he fell in the battle so quickly. The deeper truth was simple: His power really wasn't enough for him to win that match.
"Train, huh?"
"I can train you! How about this? Goku, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Toma Ojisan, Seripa Obsan, Dodoria Ojisan, and Pabutsin Ojisan, you all join in the training as well!"
Hearing Raditz's request, Jiang Chen paused for a moment, then nodded slightly, and as if he had realized something, he looked at the others and spoke again, in a more deliberate tone.
"All right!"
"Hahaha!"
"Aspara, thank you!"
Upon hearing these words, most of those present here couldn't help but brighten with excitement.
Jiang Chen's strength was undeniable. Having him guide their training would be extremely beneficial for them.
Jiang Chen simply smiled and shook his head before speaking: "Let's go. We're heading to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber! The Tournament of Power isn't far off!"
With that, Jiang Chen strode forward and entered the depths of the Lookout.
"Ah, training again!" Goten couldn't help but pout when he heard this.
"Yeah! I wanted to play with you, Goten!" Trunks chimed in as well.
"Hmph! You two little brats!" Raditz snorted coldly before he grabbed one of them in each hand and followed Jiang Chen.
The others walked behind them with faint smiles on their faces, their figures trailing along.
Soon, they all entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
For Jiang Chen, this was his first time stepping into the Time Chamber of this world, but there wasn't much difference.
Mr. Popo had already prepared food and water for them and after a brief adjustment period, everyone began their training.
Jiang Chen's gaze first settled on the members of Bardock's squad.
Decades had passed.
The members of Bardock's squad had all seen tremendous improvement in strength. By now, they had all essentially mastered the Super Saiyan 1form.
But it was only the Super Saiyan 1 form, and they hadn't reached higher levels yet.
"Seripa Obasan, Toma Ojisan, Dodoria Ojisan, and Pumbukin Ojisan, the first step you need right now is to firmly master the power of the Super Saiyan 1 Form.
"Watch carefully! This is Super Saiyan One!"
"Boom!"
Golden flames of Ki roared to life as Jiang Chen instantly transformed into a Super Saiyan.
"The first transformation into a Super Saiyan is very difficult and requires a pure surge of anger, whether born of good or evil. The stronger your base state, the easier the transformation."
"However, at a minimum, you need a certain level of battle power to succeed in achieving this form. After transforming, you'll fall into a state of extreme rage, so you must restrain your impulses and calm your mind once you succeed."
"Then comes the step of mastering this power. You must focus every nerve to channel your aura into every part of your body. This causes your muscles to swell and leads to a huge boost in power. Your speed and strength will both rise sharply compared to a normal Super Saiyan."
As Jiang Chen spoke, his muscles suddenly bulged, and an even more violent aura erupted.
"This is the second stage of Super Saiyan One.
"Then comes the third stage. In this form, your muscles swell to their maximum size, unleashing enormous power. However, your speed decreases drastically, making your movements clumsy. On top of that, the strain on your body is severe."
Inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Jiang Chen earnestly guided everyone in their training, explaining each step.
He carefully laid out each stage of the Super Saiyan transformations, including the three stages of Super Saiyan One, Super Saiyan Two, and Super Saiyan Three.
His explanations were meticulous and everyone listened just as seriously.
Yet, to everyone's surprise, it was the two little ones who advanced the fastest, before Bardock's squad or Raditz could even fully react.
"Boom!"
A golden aura surged out, strands of golden hair shot upward, and arcs of lightning began flashing across the chamber.
A powerful aura spread in all directions.
"Super Saiyan Two?"
Seripa's eyes widened, and her breath caught in her throat as she looked at this scene.
'Good heavens! While she was still struggling to master the first stage of the Super Saiyan 1 Form, Goten and Trunks suddenly leapt past the ordinary Super Saiyan level and broke directly into the Super Saiyan Two form.'
"What tremendous power!"
"Amazing!"
Goten and Trunks both flushed bright red.
Goten especially, as he was still so young. His violent aura felt as if it might spiral out of control.
"Control your power! Calm your heart!" Jiang Chen said, and in an instant, a divine force enveloped the two boys, calming their raging aura.
Moments later, the storm of power around them finally began to settle.
"Incredible..." Seripa couldn't help but murmur.
The others exchanged glances, each seeing the same shock reflected in the others' eyes.
Super Saiyan Two.
This was Super Saiyan Two!
They had all been training together, yet these two little brats had reached it with such ease while they themselves were still struggling with the first stage.
"Keep training diligently."
"Seripa Obasan, Toma Ojisan, Saiyans mixed with Earthlings are blessed with extraordinary talent."
Jiang Chen smiled and offered a word of comfort.
The others gave bitter smiles in return, shook their heads, and returned to their practice with renewed focus.
After instructing them, Jiang Chen's gaze shifted to Raditz.
"Raditz, if you want to advance further, there are two paths. One is to master stronger Super Saiyan transformations. The other is to raise your fundamental battle power."
His tone was steady as he spoke. He had already considered how Raditz could best improve. Super Saiyan Three, Super Saiyan Four, or the azure form of Super Saiyan Blue were all directions Raditz could pursue.
"Fundamental battle power or stronger transformations?" Raditz fell into deep thought when he heard those two options.
"Aspara, how can I increase my basic battle power?" After a pause, Raditz looked up and asked with a grave expression on his face.
"Oh?"
A flicker of surprise showed on Jiang Chen's face.
He hadn't expected Raditz to choose the path of fundamental battle power. He had thought Raditz would crave a higher transformation.
"My strength isn't enough as it is. Perhaps raising my base battle power is the most important thing of all." Raditz gave a bitter smile, his voice tinged with helplessness as he spoke after seeing the expression on Jiang Chen's face.
The pride of being an "upper-class warrior" had long since crumbled away.
Nappa, once hailed as an elite warrior, was now among the weakest of Saiyans, a joke, truly. And Raditz? What did being an upper-class soldier even count for anymore?
Especially when his own father and his younger brother, Kakarrot, who were both born low-class warriors, had risen to such heights of strength.
"It seems you've changed a lot. As for raising your base battle power, the method is simple: constant battle. Here, take some senzu beans. From now on, don't transform. Just keep fighting against Seripa Obasan and the others." In a deep voice, Jiang Chen gave Raditz his instructions.
"Alright!" Raditz nodded firmly, agreeing without hesitation.
After finishing with Raditz, Jiang Chen's gaze shifted toward Son Goku.
"Aspara, how should I train?" Son Goku's eyes shone with excitement and anticipation as he looked at Jiang Chen.
He was eager to begin.
He had witnessed the might of his and Vegeta's counterparts from another world, and he had seen the terrifying power of the God of Destruction Beerus, the Angel Whis, the God of Destruction Champa, and the Angel Vados. On top of that, the Prison Planet ordeal had opened his eyes.
Goku now understood just how vast the universe truly was and how many experts there were.
His own power was still far from enough.
"Hahaha, Goku, your training has two aspects: raising your base battle power and mastering stronger transformations." Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, his voice dropping low with weight.
"Stronger transformations?" Goku blinked and asked almost instinctively.
"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded as if anticipating Goku's confusion.
"Goku, you've already mastered the Super Saiyan Blue transformation. You should know that Blue is simply Super Saiyan God stacked atop the Super Saiyan form. So, if Super Saiyan God can be stacked with ordinary Super Saiyan, then why not with Super Saiyan Two or Super Saiyan Four?"
Jiang Chen's words hung in the air. Suddenly, a terrifying aura burst out from his body and spread violently in all directions.
"Boom!"
The aura swept like a storm, and in that instant, Jiang Chen transformed into Super Saiyan Four.
And it didn't stop there.
Scarlet flames of godly ki surged forth as he stacked Super Saiyan God onto his Super Saiyan Four state.
Though it was only the normal red-haired form of Super Saiyan God and not the silver-haired variant, the sheer violent power still shook the entire Hyperbolic Time Chamber, warping its space and time with subtle instability.
At once, countless eyes turned toward him.
"So this is Aspara's true power...? What an incredible force!" Toma whispered, his face pale with awe.
They had long understood Jiang Chen's strength, but seeing it displayed like this struck them to their core.
"Super Saiyan Four stacked with Super Saiyan God?" Goku's eyes gleamed, blazing with light.
At that very moment, he glimpsed the outline of an entirely new path.
"That's right. You've already mastered Super Saiyan Three and Super Saiyan Four. Trying to stack Super Saiyan God on top of Super Saiyan Three at your current level is nearly impossible. It's too unstable. But Super Saiyan Four, you can do that."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly; his words carried weight.
Super Saiyan Three, outside of the GT timeline, had a fatal flaw: a massive stamina drain and severe energy leakage.
For all practical purposes, it was impossible to overlay Super Saiyan God on top of Super Saiyan Three.
However, Super Saiyan Four did not have this issue.
As long as one could fully master Super Saiyan Four at maximum output, layering it with Super Saiyan God was entirely possible.
"But Aspara, I don't have a tail. Without it, I can't transform into Super Saiyan Four." Goku's excitement faltered as he realized this. He frowned, his face clouded with doubt.
As a Saiyan raised on Earth, Goku's tail had ultimately been removed, even with history altered. Without a tail, he couldn't become Super Saiyan Four.
"That's simple. Though it may take a little time."
Jiang Chen smiled. For others, this would be a major problem.
They would either have to rely on Shenron or the Old Kaiōshin from the GT timeline. Otherwise, only time itself could restore it. But for Jiang Chen, the master of Time, this was hardly an obstacle.
By rewinding a portion of Goku's personal time, he could easily restore what was needed.
"Really?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Goku's eyes lit up and his whole being swelled with excitement.
Though he already wielded Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue, the thought of attaining Super Saiyan Four thrilled him.
Now that Jiang Chen said it could be stacked with Super Saiyan God, his anticipation burned brighter.
"Of course it's real."
Jiang Chen smiled again and, without hesitation, unleashed the power of Time.
"Woom!"
