Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The Saiyan’s Awakening
The barren landscape of Ventarra stretched endlessly, a desolate wasteland that offered little comfort to Kaidan. Days had passed since his arrival, and while he was beginning to adapt to the planet's harsh conditions, the reality of his situation weighed heavily on him.
He stood atop a jagged rock formation, staring at the horizon. His body hummed with energy, his combat power now a staggering 11,000, thanks to the system's enhancements.
"Genesis," Kaidan said, breaking the silence, "explain these Legendary Saiyan Genes. What makes them different?"
Genesis:
The Legendary Saiyan Genes you possess significantly enhance your physical and combat capabilities. You have unparalleled adaptability, increased power potential, and heightened regenerative abilities. Additionally, your battle instincts are superior to that of ordinary Saiyans.
Kaidan smirked, a flicker of pride showing. "So, I'm no longer an average Saiyan?"
Genesis:
Correct. Your genes are optimized, making you capable of growth far beyond the typical limitations of your race. However, reaching this potential requires intense training and combat experience.
He nodded, determination flaring in his eyes. "Good. I'll make use of it."
Training in Isolation
Over the next few weeks, Kaidan pushed himself to the brink. The harsh gravity of Ventarra, which had initially been a burden, now became his greatest ally. He used the planet's natural challenges to sharpen his skills, engaging in mock battles against the wildlife and using massive boulders to test his strength.
The system provided constant feedback, helping him refine his ki control. He learned to concentrate his energy, forming simple energy blasts and barriers.
Genesis:
Combat Power: 12,300.
"Another increase," Kaidan muttered, wiping sweat from his brow. He grinned, feeling the steady growth in his power.
But his training wasn't without challenges. The planet's apex predators, massive reptilian beasts with razor-sharp claws, were relentless in their pursuit of him. During one encounter, Kaidan faced off against a particularly large creature.
The beast lunged, its claws slashing through the air. Kaidan ducked and countered with a ki-infused punch, sending the creature sprawling. However, it quickly recovered, charging at him again.
Kaidan's breathing was ragged, and his muscles burned, but he refused to back down.
Genesis:
Recommendation: Utilize ki to enhance speed and agility.
He focused, channeling his energy into his legs. With a sudden burst of speed, he dodged the creature's next attack and delivered a devastating blow to its head. The beast collapsed, defeated.
Genesis Notification:
Combat Power: 13,000.
Kaidan exhaled, a sense of accomplishment washing over him. "I'm getting stronger. Slowly but surely."
