When Trunks clearly saw the number displayed on the scouter, he exclaimed in surprise.
“Eh?
Uncle Licks, you were training with Uncle Tarble, so why did your Power Level only increase by 400?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized the question might be inappropriate.
His voice grew much quieter, and he sheepishly shrank his neck.
Licks, however, remained calm as he explained his thoughts.
“Prince Trunks, how could a subordinate’s talent compare to Prince Tarble’s or Prince Vegeta’s?
Being able to increase my Power Level this much after training for one day under 10x gravity already makes me very satisfied.
I never would have imagined that my Power Level could increase this quickly.”
Trunks blinked in surprise, “Really?
Is that so?”
His expression clearly showed he wasn’t entirely convinced.
Licks nodded firmly.
“That’s right.
It must be.”
Seeing how certain he was, Trunks slowly nodded as well, still only half convinced.
At his age, he wasn’t interested in dwelling on complicated questions for long.
Instead, he quickly changed the subject.
“Then I’ll ask Dad later.
Uncle Tarble, Uncle Licks, hurry up.
It’s time for dinner.”
After saying that, he didn’t wait for either of them and dashed off in an instant.
Judging by his excitement, he was definitely going to tell Vegeta about what he had just discovered.
It was only a matter of time before someone noticed something like this.
Trunks had simply brought it to light a little earlier.
After Trunks had disappeared into the distance, Licks looked at Tarble with sincere admiration.
“Your Highness, your talent truly cannot be measured by ordinary standards.
I believe you might be the most talented Super Saiyan warrior among us.”
Before coming to Earth, he had already witnessed Tarble’s extraordinary talent.
What he hadn’t expected was that after training in the Gravity Chamber, that talent would prove to be even more unbelievable.
He clearly remembered that Tarble’s daily Power Level increase used to be only about twice his own.
Now it was more than five times greater.
If that wasn’t extraordinary, then what was?
If Tarble knew what Licks was thinking, he would probably laugh and say, “You’re still too inexperienced.
The Legendary Super Saiyan is the real monster.”
Still, thanks to his Golden Finger, Tarble believed he now had a chance to compete with even the Legendary Super Saiyan.
Everything depended on whether his base training speed continued to increase after every new transformation.
If it did, then surpassing the Legendary Super Saiyan would no longer be an impossible dream.
The thought brought a faint smile to the corner of his mouth.
Even so, he remained humble.
No matter how talented someone is, it doesn’t change the fact that they’re still weak.
Remember, before you have true strength, everything else is just empty talk.
The only thing that really matters is training hard and becoming stronger.”
Hearing those familiar words again, Licks felt an even deeper sense of respect.
“Yes, Your Highness.
I will remember your teachings.”
He had noticed long ago that ever since Tarble recovered from his serious injuries three years earlier, he seemed like an entirely different person.
His personality hadn’t changed much, but the way he handled things and the words he spoke were completely different from before.
Although Licks couldn’t understand why, he liked the change very much.
The current Tarble possessed an unyielding spirit and an unwavering determination to become stronger.
He seemed more like a true Saiyan warrior than ever before.
Tarble was pleased with Licks’ attitude.
He nodded slightly before walking out of the Gravity Chamber.
Licks was Tarble’s first bound target, so naturally he didn’t want his strength to remain weak.
There was also a very practical reason.
If a bound target died, Tarble would immediately lose the corresponding training multiplier.
That was the last thing he wanted.
If he wanted to continue benefiting from the system, he first had to ensure that his “sheep” stayed alive.
The simplest and most effective solution was to make sure Licks became strong enough to protect himself.
Licks followed closely behind.
Even now, he never forgot his identity as Tarble’s guard.
Whether because of the deeply rooted Saiyan hierarchy or the Saiyan belief that the strong deserved respect, he never forgot his place.
In that regard, Saiyan society functioned remarkably well.
Rebellion between superiors and subordinates of the same race was almost unheard of.
Before long, the two arrived at the dining room.
The moment Vegeta saw them, he immediately asked about their training.
“Tarble, Trunks told me your Power Level increased by 2,300 after just one day of training.
Is that true?”
Tarble calmly nodded, “Yes, Brother.
I trained for a full ten hours and only increased my Power Level by 2,300.
At this rate, I don’t know how long it’ll take before I can reach your level of strength.”
After hearing the confirmation, Vegeta’s eyes widened with undisguised surprise.
“Tarble, I never expected your training talent to be this incredible.
Do you know how much my Power Level increased after one full day of training under 100x Earth’s gravity before I became a Super Saiyan?”
Without waiting for Tarble to answer, Vegeta raised six fingers.
“It was around 6,000.
And you…
You only spent one day adapting to 10x Earth’s gravity, yet your Power Level increased by 2,300.
Do you understand what that means?
It means your training talent is several times greater than mine.
Even Kakarot can’t compare to you.
I heard that Kakarot spent six days adapting to 100x Earth’s gravity, and by then his Power Level had only increased to around 90,000.
If you trained under the same conditions for the same amount of time, your Power Level increase would probably reach around 120,000.
Kakarot was judged to be a Low-class warrior, yet his talent was far beyond that.
You were also judged to be a Low-class warrior at birth.
I think the Saiyans’ old method of classifying Low-class warriors was completely wrong.”
For a moment, Vegeta couldn’t contain his excitement.
He felt as though he had finally uncovered a truth that had remained hidden for years.
“Kakarot…
Just wait.
Maybe I can’t surpass you.
But Tarble definitely can.
Absolutely.”
The thought filled him with a tremendous sense of relief, as though a burden he had carried for years had finally been lifted.
At the same time, excitement burned brightly in his eyes.
For the first time in a long while, he truly saw hope.
Hope that someone could surpass Son Goku.
Of course, if this had been the Vegeta of years past, he never would have placed his hopes on someone else.
However, ever since the Majin Buu incident, his mindset had changed dramatically.
Deep in his heart, he had already acknowledged that Son Goku was the greatest Saiyan warrior.
Because of that, he understood better than anyone how enormous the gap between them had become.
Perhaps he would never catch up in his lifetime.
Even so, he continued training relentlessly.
Not because he truly believed he would surpass Son Goku, but because he refused to fall even farther behind.
At the same time, he wanted to see just how far he himself could climb while chasing Son Goku’s footsteps.
Naturally, on the surface, Vegeta remained just as proud and stubborn as ever.
As far as anyone else could tell, he still intended to defeat Son Goku one day.
After all, their rivalry had never truly come to an end.
