Standing on the sacred and ancient earth, Raditz let out a comfortable roar, the sound waves echoing far and wide.
"I'm already an apprentice Supreme Kai." He turned his head to look at Kibito and the Supreme Kai.
The two were shocked by the sound just now, holding the same thought in their hearts: this mortal is too frightening - why does it feel like his power has gotten even stronger?
When he'd continued training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he'd tried to reach this level, but because his foundation was still shallow, he'd only touched the surface. Later, in the fierce battle with Pikkon, he'd finally reached Full Power Super Saiyan, but hadn't perfectly controlled it yet.
He didn't expect to get a breakthrough in the Sacred World of the Kai!
After receiving the baptism, his body and spirit became more coordinated, breaking through the barrier in an instant and successfully reaching a new level - mastering the Full Power Super Saiyan state.
The surprised Supreme Kai pointed at Raditz: "You..."
"Thanks to Lord Supreme Kai, my strength has improved a bit."
"Is... is that so?" The Supreme Kai paused, unable to believe he'd made progress in such a short time. Why didn't he change like this when he became Supreme Kai?
"However..." Raditz suddenly approached and looked carefully at the Supreme Kai. "Will I have a hairstyle like yours if I become Supreme Kai? I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for my hair to become like that." He swept his hair lightly - though it had been cut by Pikkon, it was still long and reached his waist.
"Uh, that's a tradition. Don't worry about it. Come with me now, and I'll teach you the knowledge of Supreme Kai and many laws of the universe."
He gave Raditz a kind look and led Kibito and Raditz flying back to the ancient tree.
In the next two days, the Supreme Kai took Raditz around the Sacred World of the Kai, getting to know the major galaxies and nations of the universe. In the seventh universe, planets with life were an extremely small part - most were still under development. The universe was infinitely vast, and knowledge was almost infinite. No wonder the gods had such long lifespans. As the saying went, "Learn until you're old, live until you're old."
In addition, Raditz also learned teleportation from Kibito in his spare time.
At first Kibito was very reluctant: "Don't you already know the Instant Transmission technique from Planet Yardrat? Do you still need to learn from me?" He still remembered being teleported past and felt resentful.
"My Instant Transmission is different from yours, but both have flaws. I want to combine them."
"Flaws?"
"The Instant Transmission from Planet Yardrat can accurately find ki signatures, but can't reach places without ki or unknown locations. Your teleportation can travel freely between the Sacred World of the Kai and the lower realm - going anywhere isn't a problem - but it can't target specific individuals accurately."
More importantly—
Before he launched Instant Transmission, there would be a short period to gather momentum and find energy. Though very brief, if a strong opponent seized the opportunity, the teleportation could be cracked.
This loophole had to be improved!
Raditz demonstrated for Kibito, flashing around him. "Swish, swish, swish" - figures appeared in all directions, making Kibito look around with no time to distinguish.
Kibito realized he really couldn't do Raditz's move.
"Even if you're right, how do you combine the two? The teleportation I know is a special ability of divine servants, just like the healing technique - only I can use it. Even the Supreme Kai can't do it."
"Really?" Raditz murmured, thinking the role of divine servants was probably similar to Angels, but Angels' abilities were much stronger. After all, Gods of Destruction were too powerful and needed guidance and restraint, which made sense.
"Healing ability is the unique power of a divine servant, because in addition to providing services for the Supreme Kai, I also have the duty of a guard."
Raditz shook his head: "If it's healing ability, maybe I can't learn it, but teleportation - I have the confidence to perfect it. A master explained the principle to me. I believe perfect teleportation can be achieved." He pointed at the Supreme Kai sitting quietly under the old tree. "Besides, the Supreme Kai asked you to teach me. You won't disobey the Supreme Kai's words, right?"
"I'll just teach you."
Sure enough, Kibito was still in awe of the Supreme Kai. From a distance, the Supreme Kai sitting on the green grass was smiling faintly at him.
Over the next few days, Kibito chose to tell Raditz the principle of space switching during teleportation, the steps and feelings of the process. The rest could only be comprehended by Raditz himself.
Raditz tried starting with the nearest planet first. As an apprentice Supreme Kai, he was able to see the star map of the entire universe through the Sacred World of the Kai. It was amazing that the scene in Raditz's eyes could change according to his will - there was no place in the entire universe he couldn't see.
The vast universe was condensed in his eyes. The floating silhouettes in the sky above the Sacred World were like magnifying glasses, able to bring scenery from infinity close to him, as clear as black ink pen traces carved on white paper.
After concentrating and trying a few times, Raditz sighed.
"It's not enough just to see it. I'm used to the way of searching for energy. Teleportation directly through space requires a lot of mental power. And if I weren't an apprentice Supreme Kai, I couldn't do it at all."
There was no way to do it quickly - he could only continue trying to comprehend it.
While Raditz was studying to improve his teleportation, on a green grassy hill in the distance, the Supreme Kai and Kibito stood with their hands behind their backs, quietly observing Raditz's figure in the gently wafting crisp wind.
Finally, Kibito couldn't help but say: "Master Supreme Kai, do you really think he, a mortal, can be an apprentice Supreme Kai? Isn't this too reckless?"
The Supreme Kai didn't answer, just watched quietly.
"Master Supreme Kai?" Kibito couldn't help asking again.
"Maybe we're too old-fashioned, and many things are different from what we imagined. For example, mortals were still at a very low level of development thousands of years ago, but as time passed, people like Raditz were born. According to him, there are still several Saiyans who are also very powerful, which is incredible." The Supreme Kai squinted his eyes. "It's time for us to change our thinking, or learn from mortals."
"Mortals?"
Kibito was very surprised. His long-standing concepts made him unable to accept this conclusion at all.
Even if someone like Raditz appeared, it didn't mean mortals had evolved to the point where gods should pay attention.
"Kibito, you should broaden your horizons. Maybe someone who can defeat the Demon Realm and even Majin Buu will be born among them."
Isn't that too exaggerated? Kibito didn't show it on the surface, but was already shocked in his heart.
He looked at the Supreme Kai's face and saw a hopeful smile on that expression.
