Chereads / Dragon Ball: Ultimate Selection System / Chapter 24 - A Month of Growth

Chapter 24 - A Month of Growth

Time flies, and a month has passed.

During this month, Hanasia was sent back to Planet Vegeta for training by Link, while he stayed at the Brief household. He spent his days training in the 50× gravity room as he waited for Dr. Brief to complete the development of the treatment device and gravity chamber.

Living and dining with the Brief family, Link gradually grew familiar with them. Mrs. Brief even teased about his relationship with her daughters, joking that he could consider marrying the older one —even though Link already had Hanasia. "You're a king," she laughed, "it's normal for a king to have many wives." Dr. Brief agreed and even admitted to feeling a tinge of envy. Despite the jokes, Link naturally denied any such idea.

Although he had once been a big Dragon Ball fan, since arriving in this world he had no interest in getting involved with the women of those old stories; his bond with Hanasia was purely a matter of physical necessity.

However, Tights, the elder daughter and a well-known science fiction writer, often engaged Link in discussions about Saiyan legends whenever he stepped out of the gravity chamber—claiming she was gathering material for a new novel. In contrast, the younger daughter, Bulma, though she pretended not to overhear her parents' banter, blushed whenever she was alone with Link and kept a particularly close eye on him.

Sometimes, when Link and Tights were seen chatting, their somewhat pleasant expressions hinted at thoughts that everyone understood.

Then one day in the 50× gravity room, a huge explosion rocked the chamber, filling it with smoke. When the smoke cleared, Link was found lying on the ground in pain. Yet after a few deep breaths, the pain faded, and he soon managed to stand.

Notably, throughout the incident he hadn't consumed a single Senzu Bean. It was clear that he had nearly been seriously injured by a ki bullet he had unleashed with all his strength—but his miraculous recovery proved the magic of his legendary Saiyan blood. Over the month of intense training, Link confirmed that his bloodline was distinct from even Broly's; according to his system, it was an older version of Broly's bloodline. Although his strength did not grow as rapidly as Broly, his superhuman recovery ability and extremely high defense meant that he could recover from near-fatal injuries simply by resting—a truly miraculous gift.

By the end of the month, Link had adapted to the full force of 50× gravity, and his combat power had increased by 200,000, bringing his current strength close to 1 million.

**Host:** Link

**Combat Strength:** 890,000

**Bloodline:** Legendary Super Saiyan Bloodline

**Skills:** Kai Kai, Ki Control

At that moment, the communicator in the gravity room beeped, and Tights voice came through:

"Link!"

Wiping sweat from his brow, Link moved to the door, pressed the communicator, and asked,

"What's wrong?"

"Remember the friend Jaco I told you about last time? He's here!"

"Really? Just wait—I'll be out in a moment."

Jaco was none other than Tights Galactic Patrol friend. Link had devised a plan for the future of the Saiyans and needed the help of the Galactic Patrol Organization, so he had asked Tights to contact Jaco and arrange for him to come to Earth.

After freshening up and dressing neatly, Link stepped outside and saw Tights talking with an alien who looked like a mini Ultraman.

"Hello," Link greeted.

Jaco replied a hesitant "Hello…" but then, noticing the tail peeking from around Link's waist, he was stunned: "S- Saiyan!"

"Yes, I am a Saiyan. You can call me Link," Link replied with a friendly smile.

Before anyone could settle the moment, Jaco abruptly pulled out a laser gun, eyes sharp, and shouted to Tights, "Tights, step aside! This person is a Saiyan—I'll protect you! Quickly, gather your family and run away! It's even better to leave Earth, the farther the better…"

In a flash, Tights snatched a nearby broom and smacked Jaco on the head. "You idiot! I told you Link is my friend—I asked you to come here just to meet him!" she scolded.

"What? But he is…" Jaco started, only to be interrupted by Link:

"Mr. Jaco, you're safe with me. Saiyans today are not like the ones of old. Tights mentioned you're from the Galactic Patrol—Super Elite, in fact. I have something important to discuss with you."

Jaco, known for his pride, puffed up immediately. "Elite? Well… what she said is right. Then, Mr. Saiyan, what do you want from me?"

"I want to see the Galactic King!" Link said.

"Galactic King?" Jaco asked warily. "What do you intend to do? Are you planning to kill the Galactic King?"

"Of course not. In fact, I am also a king—the current king of the Saiyans. I want to discuss cooperation with your King."

Smiling, Link added, "There's no time for small chat. I don't have time to delay"

In one swift motion, Link raised his right hand and, astonishingly, held Jaco's laser gun.

With a powerful squeeze, he crushed the weapon into an iron ball and tossed it back.

Staring at the crushed metal, Jaco laughed in fear, "I didn't expect you to be the King of Saiyans! Alright, let's set off now."

Though Jaco was a Galactic Patrolman, his strength was only a little above that of Earthlings; after witnessing Link's display of power, he immediately fell in line.

Under Jaco's guidance, Link locked onto the location of the Galactic King and teleported away with Jaco and Tights.

Shortly after the trio disappeared, young Bulma ran over excitedly, "Brother Link! The treatment device and gravity chamber are ready! Brother Link…"

Her cheerful tone faltered as she noticed the open door to the gravity room. At that moment, Mrs. Brief passed by.

"Mom, where is Brother Link?"

"Link? Tights said they're going on a long trip and might not be back for a while."

Bulma's bright face immediately fell.

Mrs. Brief squinted and teased, "Oh, Bulma, are you jealous?"

"No way! Mom, don't talk nonsense!"

And with that, the little girl ran off in a huff.
