[Combat Power: 990]
"So this is the Combat Power Detector 2.0? It's even more precise than the first generation and has more advanced features.
"In the future, if I don't want to reveal my full strength, I'll need to use more mental energy to suppress my aura fluctuations.
"I must improve my control over my ki even further."
Talot played with the combat power detector in his hand, familiarizing himself with its new functions and studying the improvements made after the upgrade.
As a穿越者 (a person who has traveled to another world), he was no stranger to this device.
穿越者 (a person who has traveled to another world)?
That's right!
Talot was not a native of this world but had traveled from another world.
It has been five years now.
He still remembered that day five years ago.
As a Dragon Ball fan, upon learning of Akira Toriyama's passing, he decided to pay tribute to his lost youth by rewatching the Dragon Ball series.
He started from the first series, through Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and Dragon Ball GT, along with numerous movies and spin-offs...
Although he watched them at double or triple speed, focusing on the highlights, his already sub-healthy body couldn't handle the strain after a day and night of continuous watching.
His vision went black, and he fainted.
When he woke up, he had already soul-traveled to this world, becoming a newborn Saiyan.
From fear to excitement, from excitement to unease, and from unease and confusion to being at a loss, he gradually adapted to his new identity over time.
One could say he was lucky; at birth, his combat power was 200, which met the standard for an Elite Warrior. Therefore, from the start, his status was higher than that of a Low-Class Warrior, and he didn't have to be sent to a low-tier planet to invade and fend for himself like a failed product.
In the five years since his arrival, he spent the first year in the Incubation Chamber, lost in thought and sleep. After leaving the Incubation Chamber in the second year, Talot embarked on various modes.
He frantically gathered all the information about the current era and began to train and strengthen himself according to his own plan.
Although his body was still very young and fragile, the Saiyan physique was extraordinarily robust, far surpassing that of other races.
Compared to his previous life, the difference in physical condition was significant.
Of course, this was the feeling Talot got from the strength inherent to Saiyans in this life.
Apart from strength, in terms of physical development, by the age of one, Talot was already as big as a three-year-old child in his previous life.
As for whether he could handle intense training?
After trying it out, Talot understood why Gohan was so strong at four, and why Trunks and Goten were so amazing as kids!
It couldn't be described by normal standards; it was only a matter of what you dared to imagine.
In short, over the years on Planet Vegeta, he had grown accustomed to life as a Saiyan and laid a solid foundation through his own training methods.
His combat power had increased from 200 to 990!
It's worth mentioning that Talot was self-taught in ki training.
Although he wasn't particularly proficient, he could control his own strength and sense ki in a small area, which was already a significant achievement.
It was precisely because he could control his aura from the beginning that his combat power increased so rapidly without being noticed over the years.
Otherwise, if others found out, he would likely be controlled by someone with ill intentions.
...
After a moment of reflection, Talot controlled his aura to drop, until the combat power detector stabilized at 350, before he stopped suppressing his aura and put the detector away.
As for why he suppressed his Combat Power at this level, it was because his Combat Power at birth was 200 points. As his body grew, his Saiyan innate combativeness meant that even without training, his Combat Power would gradually increase.
Just like his peers, their Combat Power was roughly around 200 to 300 points, and their improvement rate was about 30 to 50 points per year.
At the age of five, with a Combat Power of 350 points, he was neither considered a genius nor a failure.
This was a deliberate choice by Talot. As an adult and a穿越者 (a person who has traveled to another world), he naturally understood how terrifying this world could be.
Being low-key was the true way to survive.
Otherwise, take Raditz, who was the same age as him. His Combat Power at birth was also 200 points, but it had already reached 500 points by now.
Such a rate of improvement was extremely rare among the entire race.
He displayed outstanding talent and thus became a member of the Prince's team.
Some might consider this a stroke of luck or an honor, but in reality, it was like being shackled with a collar.
However, it had to be said that Raditz was far from a failure. At least by the age of five, he had shown talent comparable to an Elite Warrior.
It was really hard to understand why in the original story, his Combat Power was only 1500 points when he invaded Earth.
This was a clear case of plot-driven killing.
In the past, Talot thought Raditz was just a braggart, but after coming to this world, he realized that the guy was actually quite hardworking, at least more diligent in improving his strength on the surface than himself.
Coming back to his senses, Talot stood on the hillside, looking down at the city below, able to see the entire city clearly.
What was called a city was actually just the size of a small town.
Looking into the distance, he could see a massive fortress, the Royal City of the Saiyan race, which had been built in recent years with the help of alien technology.
As an Elite Warrior, he actually had the qualifications to live in the Royal City, but since both his parents were Low-Class Warriors and had long since passed away, Talot, like most lower-class Saiyans, lived outside the Royal City.
He would only be able to join the Elite Warrior circle if he achieved enough accomplishments.
Of course, Talot didn't care much about that.
The classification of lower, upper, and elite warriors, in the end, was just a comparison of innate advantages.
Innate advantages were indeed important, but what mattered most was the development and utilization of one's potential.
Having sufficient innate advantages but failing to develop and utilize them would ultimately make one just a mere ant.
Like Vegeta in the original story, over twenty years, he seemed to have been constantly invading planets and waging wars in space, but his narrow-mindedness restricted his growth, limiting his Combat Power to just 18,000 points.
For Talot, living outside the Royal City was actually a good thing, at least he was free and不受约束 (unrestrained).
...
[Five years have passed, and the time left for me is running out. Unfortunately, my Combat Power still hasn't broken through the 1000-point barrier.]
As he walked down the hill, Talot thought to himself.
In the past, watching anime, reading manga, and then reading novels, he thought that as long as he was reborn as a Saiyan and worked hard enough, his Combat Power would skyrocket.
But when it came to himself, reality would tell you just how cruel it could be.
Improving one's strength wasn't just a matter of effort, and Combat Power couldn't be increased just because you wanted to.
Thinking about those fan novels where Combat Power easily reached the tens of millions, it was pure nonsense.
