Late at night.
Talot had returned home and was lying in bed, pondering life.
After the battle with Raditz, he had gained a lot.
Although there were some minor incidents, they were, in the end, not that important.
Reflecting on what Bardock had said to him and Raditz, Talot deeply understood that even though he could fight above his level and make it difficult for Raditz, it was essentially just a trick.
If they fought again, Raditz would surely find the flaws quickly.
Unless he improved his tactics, Raditz would defeat him faster and with less effort.
In short, there were many areas where he needed to improve, and he would have to accumulate combat experience gradually, gaining breakthroughs through practice.
What Talot did not expect was that Bardock had said he would guide him and Raditz in combat techniques over the next few days.
This was something that would have been impossible in the past.
Even when Raditz had asked Bardock before, Bardock had always refused.
Suddenly bringing it up made Talot feel that Bardock knew the Great Storm was coming, and was thus teaching them to enhance their self-preservation abilities during this period.
Even Selari was included.
"Though we grew up together, Bardock is being too straightforward... Does he really think I'll fall for this little girl?
"Selari is pretty, but she's a bit too domineering, and I'm not interested in little girls," Talot felt almost like crying.
Selari's affection for him was obvious to anyone with eyes.
To be honest, Talot had considered this issue multiple times.
He did not want to leave too many emotional ties, nor did he want to get involved with too many people.
Because Talot knew he could not save many people.
Over the past few days, he had not stopped thinking about this little girl, but with his own plans still uncertain, thinking too much was pointless.
"I need to start implementing my plan step by step while Bardock guides us in our training," he said to himself, then continued meditating for a while before falling into a deep sleep.
...
The next morning, Talot woke up refreshed, washed up quickly, and went outside, where Selari was already waiting for him.
Apparently, Bardock's promise to guide them had excited her.
After all, for all lower-level warriors, Bardock's status was too high, and his strength was undeniable.
Selari had a strong desire to become stronger, and she was considered one of the best among lower-level warriors her age.
As a female, she could have easily taken on a support role in the Saiyan logistics.
But her competitiveness made her unwilling to do so, which was why Talot found her so domineering.
Of course, this might have something to do with her parents' unfortunate death during a mission last year.
Soon, Raditz also came out of his house, clearly just waking up, with a sleepy look on his face.
The three of them greeted each other, but Raditz and Selari did not say much.
They entered the house, where Kine had already prepared a lot of food.
Saiyans were big eaters, consuming large amounts of food at almost every meal.
After breakfast, Bardock took the three of them to a small hill outside the city.
"In two hours, I have to go to the Royal Palace with Raditz, so we don't have much time today. I can only teach you some basic ki control methods and breathing techniques..."
As Bardock spoke, he began his unique teaching mode, which was undeniably effective.
But in just two hours, he only covered some basic ki control techniques and body movement methods, along with the breathing rhythm during physical activities.
For Raditz and Selari, this was like finding a treasure.
But for Talot, who had already reached a certain level in ki cultivation, it took only a short time to fully master everything.
This explained why the original story placed so much emphasis on ki cultivation. Once you reached a certain level in this area, your progress in any other area would also accelerate.
Despite the God Power cultivation methods overshadowing Ki cultivation in the Dragon Ball Super Era, it must be said that Ki cultivation will never go out of style. As long as you reach a sufficiently high level, it can be just as effective as God Power cultivation.
After seeing Bardock and Raditz off, Talot and Selari did not return home but continued to train here.
Then, it turned into Talot teaching Selari.
It was quite a stretch, but that's how it was. Talot had mastered it easily, while Selari was floundering without a clue. Talot couldn't bear to watch any longer.
With Talot's help, Selari finally managed to grasp the basics of what Bardock had taught her.
Talot didn't realize that sometimes, it was his intentional or unintentional actions that captured the young girl's heart.
...
Royal City.
Royal Palace.
After parting ways with Raditz, Bardock went to meet King Vegeta alone.
The content of this meeting was known only to King Vegeta and Bardock.
Even though Bardock was a lower-class warrior, King Vegeta treated him with the utmost dignity and respect.
After exchanging some trivial matters, they finally discussed the Frieza Force and Bardock's recent mission on Cyril Planet.
Bardock did not hold back much from King Vegeta and showed his loyalty.
Upon learning the details, King Vegeta was enraged but helpless.
In the end, he could only suppress his anger and then arrange Bardock's next mission.
"This time on Canasa Planet, you must pay special attention to why Frieza is so eager to obtain this planet.
"We Saiyans will not remain Frieza's subordinates forever! For years we have fought for him, only to be met with various schemes!
"Bardock, after you complete this mission, I will secretly gather all the upper-class and elite warriors!
"Then, once you have occupied Canasa Planet, I will send Frieza a grand gift."
King Vegeta's ambition was clear.
He had long lusted after the Galactic Emperor's throne.
"Yes, King Vegeta! In half a month... no! In ten days, I will set out and occupy Canasa Planet as quickly as possible," Bardock promised.
King Vegeta nodded with authority and then said, "You can rest assured about your son. I have made all the arrangements. In a week, I plan to send Vegeta with a team to invade Lump Planet, and your son will be given the best protection."
"Lump Planet, I understand, my lord," Bardock nodded, not objecting or contradicting.
King Vegeta saw through Bardock's thoughts but did not want to continue with useless words: "If there's nothing else, you may withdraw. Take this time to spend it with your children and wife. I've heard your youngest son has a battle power of only 2, but don't worry too much about it."
Using both carrot and stick, King Vegeta had his methods.
"Yes! I will take my leave," Bardock did not linger, bowed, and then turned to exit the Royal Palace hall.
