Just when people were pinning their hopes on the appearance of these heroes who had saved Earth, a group of fighters were practicing assiduously at the temple.
One day passed in a hurry, and Vegeta and Trunks walked out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, covered in tattered combat uniforms, with Trunks' hair having grown considerably. Surprisingly, they both maintained their Super Saiyan status, as if it were the norm.
This was the training method Raditz had mentioned—adapting to the burden of the Super Saiyan state so it would be easier when stronger power erupted, which could be described as a shortcut to achieving Super Saiyan full power. Raditz and Goku had tried it before, but they failed to break through due to their weak foundation. At this moment, Vegeta had been lingering in the Super Saiyan realm for a long time and succeeded in one fell swoop using the correct training method.
He himself was very relieved, showing a smug smile when he walked out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
I caught up with Kakarot—no, my full power should be stronger than Kakarot's! Vegeta lifted his spirits, his eyes filled with burning light.
"Yo, Vegeta, your level has improved considerably." Raditz stood opposite the two wearing a Saiyan battle suit. "You too, Trunks."
"It can't be compared with Dad." Trunks scratched his head and smiled shyly.
Vegeta on the side snorted coldly: "Of course, he's still two years behind me." Vegeta caught a glimpse of Raditz, his face still stern. "Do you want to go in too? Isn't using the Hyperbolic Time Chamber now too early? You've already used it for one day, and the remaining day would be more effective when you break through."
"It doesn't matter. When you have enough strength, you can bypass the rules of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. After all, it's just a different dimension." Raditz replied with a smile.
Vegeta was stunned.
He didn't know that Super Saiyan 3 level power could tear a hole in the inner space of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and the 48-hour limit was useless when strength reached a certain level.
Raditz led Zangya into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for the second time, stepped through the gate, and a wide, pure white space appeared before them. The oppressive atmosphere hit their hearts, and their breathing immediately became labored.
Raditz, who had once entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, had experienced this quiet and harsh training environment. He had stayed here for a year and practiced rigorously, not only exercising his body but also exercising his mind. The white infinite space was the best environment to hone a person.
The difficult environment and the imminent crisis were the best external factors to force a person to improve their strength. Usual practice was far less effective than this time.
Zangya took a deep breath, followed Raditz to the open field, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you come here to break through to Super Saiyan 3? One year should be enough, right?"
"I had already reached the limit of my body at that time. It would take a long time to train like that alone. One year might be enough or the progress might be very small." Raditz shook his head. "On the contrary, I come in to practice now, and I'll be able to make great strides forward at the Super Saiyan 2 level and gain more."
"I see." Zangya nodded, understanding what Raditz was thinking.
"Zangya, you are a genius fighter. I believe you will transform this year!" Raditz gradually rose up with an aura, burning like a raging fire, getting stronger and stronger, and finally reached the level beyond Super Saiyan.
Zangya was overwhelmed, shocked by Raditz's aura, couldn't help but cover her face as her orange hair fluttered back. She could see that among Super Saiyans, Raditz could control energy with ease—stronger than Vegeta!
The purpose of adjusting the strength to this level was to train better.
"Why do I feel that this energy is much stronger than Vegeta's Super Saiyan state?"
"The strength of a Super Saiyan transformation follows one's normal strength. The stronger it is, the stronger it becomes after transformation. After all, Super Saiyan is similar to an explosive technique."
The faint golden light receded, and Raditz suppressed his aura. His flamboyant blond hair stood half up, his height increased by at least thirty centimeters, and the spikes behind him looked like jagged mountains.
"Is it going to be like this from the beginning?" Zangya asked timidly, a little scared.
"Don't worry, I will control my strength."
Zangya assumed a fighting stance. She was a talented female warrior, and she still had half the blood of the demon race in her body. Although she was innocent, kind and gentle, her blood as a warrior had not yet settled. Facing Raditz, her blood was active again, and her will to fight rose!
The people waiting outside were also training on their own. Tien and Krillin had a great time fighting with Kaio-ken. Launch applauded from the sidelines and fired guns to cheer, scaring Kami, Dende, and Mr. Popo.
Yamcha and Chiaotzu practiced against each other, and the two had also learned a few psychic tricks on Yardrat. Chiaotzu's clones and Yamcha's afterimage technique both had strong auxiliary roles in actual combat. From a distance, it looked like there were many Yamchas and Chiaotzu fighting at the same time.
Knowing of Cell's existence, the Saiyans couldn't hold back their restlessness and rushed to Earth one after another. Tarble prepared to settle long-term with his strength and had already contacted Bulma. Ariel didn't like the noisy environment of Planet Saiyan Nova but still wanted to live on Earth, so Nappa also joined Tarble to seek refuge with Vegeta, living next door to Tarble's house with a shameless expression.
On the outskirts of Central City, the future Cell and the present Cell from the main timeline stood at two corners of the arena, standing still like pillars nailed into the ground.
"Did you feel it? There are many powerful auras descending on Earth." Future Cell slowly opened his closed eyes and looked up to the sky.
"Well, according to Boundless and Gero's information, that's Raditz's Saiyan team. It's not weak, but unfortunately it's much inferior to ours." Present Cell said lightly, his eyes barely lifting.
In the face of his absolute strength, he didn't think anyone could defeat his perfect self. He had not had the opportunity to go to the Realm of the Kai, and he had never seen the grand scene when Raditz broke through to Super Saiyan 2. According to the data and cognition, the highest combat power of everyone was only at the level of Super Saiyan full power. At this level, he was dominant!
"If it's a battle royale, I'm afraid we'll also feel uncomfortable."
"This game allows killing—just kill them."
"What about after defeating them?" Future Cell seemed to say casually, his eyes retracting, but they became deeper and more terrifying.
Yes, after defeating Goku, Raditz and the others? Whose turn would it be?
"Don't you want to go back to your own timeline? Haha." Present Cell smiled faintly, dispelling the sharp atmosphere, his eyes opening like needles, almost imperceptibly.
