Chapter 11: Chapter 11
"What's the detection limit?" Saigo asked after seeing Vegeta III put on the scouter.
"The detection limit is 20,000!"
Saigo curled his lips in disdain and said, "That's way too low! In the future, set the limit as high as possible. Now, test my power level and see how much it is!"
"Understood! I'll instruct our scientists to develop a better version as soon as possible!" Vegeta III responded and then pressed the scouter's switch, pointing it at Saigo.
"Beep-beep-beep! Power level: 1,000! Wait, how is your power level only 1,000, King Saigo?" Vegeta III exclaimed.
Thinking he might have seen it wrong, he checked again, but the scouter still displayed "1,000."
Everyone around was equally confused. Wasn't King Saigo the one who easily defeated Beria and the others? How could his power level only be 1,000!?
"Why the rush? This is the result of me suppressing my own power level. Let me tell you some good news—I can lower it to 500. Do you believe that?"
The crowd instinctively shook their heads but quickly nodded after realizing the implication.
Seeing their skeptical expressions, Saigo immediately worked to suppress his Ki further. At the same time, the scouter in Vegeta III's hand started beeping rapidly again.
"Beep-beep-beep!"
"Ahhh! The-the power level really dropped to 500! King Saigo, you're incredible!" Vegeta III exclaimed. "This technique is a true masterpiece!"
"You think so, King Vegeta?"
Beria, still in the habit of calling Vegeta III "King Vegeta," earned a reprimand.
"Beria, from now on, don't call me King Vegeta anymore. Call me Vegeta III or Captain Vegeta instead."
Vegeta III turned to the others, his face devoid of hesitation or regret, and continued, "The same goes for all of you! From now on, there will only be one king among the Saiyans, and that is King Saigo! Of course, during the secret plan, you must still address me as 'King Vegeta' in public to avoid alerting our enemies."
Then, he glanced at the scouter again, speaking in astonishment and excitement.
"King Saigo really has mastered the art of freely controlling his power level! This is amazing! Once we learn this technique, we won't be easily discovered by enemies!"
"Beep-beep-beep!"
"King Saigo is now increasing his power level! 1,000… 2,000… 9,000… 10,000! The power level is still climbing! I knew it—there's no way King Saigo only had a power level of 1,000!"
The onlookers were stunned. A power level of 10,000 had already surpassed most Saiyans.
What shocked them even more was that his power level continued to rise!
At the same time, they felt the intense pressure emanating from Saigo's overwhelming Ki. Everyone had to brace themselves to avoid being brought to their knees, knowing it would be utterly humiliating to fall from the Ki's force.
"Beep-beep-beep!"
"15,000… 16,000..."
"Beep-beep-beep!"
"19,000… 20,000! Ahh!"
Boom!
Vegeta III's scouter exploded into pieces, drawing a sharp cry from him.
At that moment, no one doubted Saigo anymore. If a power level exceeding 20,000 wasn't enough to qualify as the Saiyan king, then none of them had the right to claim it either!
Everyone stood straighter, looking at Saigo with immense reverence and awe, tinged with fervent zeal.
Saigo, retracting his Ki at the right moment, wore a faint smile. "My power level exceeds 20,000, but for now, I won't tell you the exact number."
"Alright, let's officially begin your training on controlling your Ki..."
The theoretical teaching didn't take long. Saigo followed Gohan's method for teaching Ki control, completing the explanation in just a few minutes.
"I've given you the method. Practice it yourselves. Pair up, and each pair will use a scouter to test each other. When you can control your Ki at will, congratulations—you've mastered it!"
"Once you've mastered it, I'll teach you how to train to improve your power level! Now go back and practice, but don't let anyone else notice."
"Yes, King Saigo!"
After Vegeta III and the others left, Saigo embarked on his own grueling training regimen.
With a day's training, his power level increased by 50.
Between May 9th and May 15th, Saigo conducted six simulations, always choosing power level rewards. His real-world training added a total of 850 to his power level.
By May 15th, the 20 Saiyan warriors had all achieved basic proficiency in controlling their Ki.
On May 16th, the 20 elite warriors returned to the secret base to train with Saigo.
Though the training intensity was high, Saiyans, accustomed to extreme gravity since childhood, endured it with gritted teeth.
By May 25th, after ten consecutive days of high-intensity training, their power levels showed significant improvement, with increases starting from 200. This enthusiasm made them eager to train day and night, but Saigo stopped them, emphasizing the importance of balancing work and rest for optimal progress.
This time, everyone trusted Saigo and followed his instructions.
The 20 elite warriors, divided into four squads, showed similar growth in power levels within their respective teams.
Bardock's squad was an exception. Bardock's power level increased by 350 in ten days, reaching the level of an intermediate to upper-tier warrior, while his teammates only gained around 200.
Paragus' squad was more balanced, with increases ranging from 330 to 360.
Vegeta III's squad had some disparities, with Vegeta III gaining the most at 450, the highest among the 20 warriors.
Intermediate warrior squad (Zell's squad):
Zell: 6,120 (previously 5,800)Morak: 5,810 (5,500)Colin: 5,700 (5,400)Dean: 5,500 (5,200)Roy: 5,250 (5,000)
Squad statistics:
Bardock's squad:
Bardock: 12,350 (12,000)Seripa: 8,260 (8,000)Toma: 8,750 (7,500)Totepo: 6,730 (6,500)Pabuzin: 6,210 (6,000)
Paragus' squad:
Paragus: 9,360 (9,000)Malanton: 7,350 (7,000)Caboma: 7,350 (7,000)Halan: 6,330 (6,000)Fasin: 5,330 (5,000)
Vegeta III's squad:
Vegeta III: 10,450 (10,000)Beria: 9,430 (9,030)Begas: 9,430 (9,030)Hafis: 8,880 (8,500)Loga: 8,350 (8,000)
Bardock's squad, long accustomed to front-line combat, showed significant gains despite their lower-class warrior potential. Their extensive combat experience subtly improved their latent talents.
Currently, aside from Saigo, Bardock boasted the highest power level on Planet Vegeta.
Everyone was thrilled with their progress. They had never imagined that power levels could be increased through training.
In their prior understanding, power levels naturally grew with age, and the idea of enhancing them through training had never occurred to them.
