Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Beep, beep, beep... beep, beep, beep...
[Combat Effectiveness Index: 990 points]
"Is this the 2.0 version of the Combat Power Detector? It's more accurate than the first-generation model, and its functions are also more complete."
"If you want to avoid exposing all your strength in the future, you need to use more mental power to suppress fluctuations in your aura."
"Ki control must be further improved."
Playing with the Combat Power Detector in his hand, Talot became familiar with the new features and also studied the improvements after the update.
As a reincarnator, he was very familiar with this.
A Reincarnator?
That's right!
Talot is not from this world; he has reincarnated from another.
It's been five years now.
He still remembers the day, five years ago.
As a fan of Dragon Ball, after hearing Akira toriyama had passed away, he revisited the Dragon Ball anime to commemorate his lost youth.
From the original series to Dragon Ball Z, then Dragon Ball Super, and later Dragon Ball GT, there are many theatrical versions, side stories, etc. throughout this period...
Although the movie was watched in 2x and 3x fast-forward mode, focusing on the highlights, after staying awake for a day and night, his already unhealthy body still endured.
His vision blurred, and he passed out.
When he woke up, his soul had crossed into this world and became a newborn Saiyan.
From fear to excitement, from excitement to unease, then from unease and confusion to loss, and finally, as time passed, he gradually adapted to his reborn identity.
He must admit, he was lucky. He was born with 200 combat power points, reaching the threshold for higher-level warriors. Therefore, his status was higher than that of lower-level warriors from the start. There was no need to be sent to low-level planets to invade them as a failure, relying on himself.
Five years have passed since the reincarnation. Except for the first year when he stayed in the training chamber, thinking and sleeping, after leaving the training chamber in the second year, Talot initiated several approaches.
He started an intense collection of information to understand the current era and gradually began to train himself under a plan he created.
Although his child's body was still very young and fragile, the body of a Saiyan is extremely strong and resilient, far surpassing that of other races.
The difference between his physical condition in his previous life and this one wasn't that big.
Of course, this is how Talot feels about the power possessed by Saiyans in this generation.
Putting strength aside, when it comes to overall physical development, when Talot was one year old, he was already as large as a three-year-old from his previous life.
As for whether he could handle exercise overload?
After trying it himself, Talot understood why Son Gohan was so strong at the age of four. Why Trunks and Son Goten were so amazing as children.
It can't be described with common sense—it's something you wouldn't dare think about.
All in all, during these past years on Planet Vegeta, Talot had adapted to life as a Saiyan and also built a solid foundation with his own training method.
His combat power had increased from 200 points to 990 points!
It's worth mentioning that Talot's Ki cultivation is self-taught.
Although not particularly skilled and only able to control his own power and feel a small range of breathing, this is already a significant achievement.
It is precisely because he can control his breathing from the start that his combat power has increased so quickly in recent years without anyone noticing.
Otherwise, if others knew about this, he would likely be controlled by someone with ill intentions.
…
After sighing, Talot controlled his aura to decrease. It wasn't until the combat power reading on the detector stabilized at 350 points that he stopped suppressing his aura and put the detector away.
Regarding why he suppressed it to this point, it's because his birth combat power was 200 points. As his body continues to grow, Saiyans are naturally warriors. Even without training, their combat power will gradually increase.
Just like his peers, advanced warriors with combat power ranging from 200 to 300 points can improve at a rate of 30 to 50 points per year.
By the age of five, when his combat power reaches 350 points, he won't be considered a genius nor a failure.
This was Talot's intention. After all, he is an adult and a reincarnator, so he naturally knows how terrifying this world is.
Keeping a low profile is the true way to survive.
Otherwise, let's say Raditz, who is the same age as him, was born with the same 200 combat power points as he was, but his combat power is already at 500 points at this moment.
Such a speed of improvement is extremely rare among the entire ethnic group.
He showed great talent, which is why he also became a member of the prince's team.
Perhaps people think this is luck and privilege, but in reality, they have a collar.
However, I must say that Raditz isn't useless at all. At least he showed a talent comparable to that of an elite warrior at the age of five.
I really didn't understand the original story. He only had 1,500 combat points when he invaded Earth.
A solid plot to kill.
In the past, Talot thought Raditz was just a show-off, but after coming to this world, he realized that this guy is actually quite hardworking, at least on the surface, he works harder than Talot to improve his strength.
After snapping out of his thoughts, Talot stood on the hillside and looked toward the mountain. He could clearly see the overall view of the entire city.
They call it a city, but it's actually the size of a village.
Looking into the distance, there's a huge city. It's the real city of the Saiyan clan. It was also a city built with the help of alien technology in recent years.
As a high-level warrior, he is qualified to live in the real city. However, since his parents were low-level warriors and had died long ago, Talot, like most low-level Saiyans, lives outside the real city.
Only when he has achieved enough accomplishments will he be able to enter the circle of high-ranking soldiers.
Of course, Talot didn't care much about that.
The ranking of low-level elites and high-level elites is, to put it bluntly, just a competition for innate advantages.
Nature is important, but talent cannot be ignored.
If you have enough talent and don't develop it properly, you'll end up being nothing but an ant.
For example, Vegeta in the original work seemed to have been invading planets in the universe and fighting non-stop for over 20 years, but his limited perspective restricted his growth, and his combat power only increased to 18,000 points.
For Talot, living outside the real city was a good thing. At least he was free and without restrictions.
…
[Five years have passed, and there's not much time left. Unfortunately, my combat power still hasn't surpassed the 1,000-point mark.]
While descending the mountain, Talot silently thought to himself.
He used to watch cartoons, comics, and novels and thought that if he reincarnated as a Saiyan and worked hard enough, wouldn't his combat power skyrocket?
But when it was his turn, personal experience would show him just how cruel reality is.
Improving strength can't be achieved just by working hard, and combat effectiveness can't be improved simply by wanting to improve it.
Thinking about the combat power in those fan fictions that easily exceeds 100 million and 1 billion, it's pure nonsense.
