Chapter 34: Raditz's Transformation
Turles's group once again arrived at the battlefield where Turles and Broly had previously fought.
Looking at the drastically altered terrain, Paragus and Raditz couldn't help gasping, exchanging glances.
Raditz felt somewhat panicked now, eyes occasionally glancing toward Turles.
You see, during previous training by Turles, even when he'd transformed into Great Ape, several days of destruction hadn't been this exaggerated.
But Raditz had already learned from Karl—this was only the result of Turles and Broly fighting for half an hour. He didn't dare imagine what level their battle power had reached.
"Even the legendary Super Saiyan is probably only this level!" Raditz muttered quietly, unable to help voicing his thoughts.
Hearing Raditz's words, Turles shook his head: "The legendary Super Saiyan isn't just at this level!"
"Hm?"
Hearing Turles say that, Raditz and Paragus immediately looked at him. His words made it sound like Turles had seen a Super Saiyan.
Turles didn't explain, just signaling Raditz to stand before him.
Seeing Turles's expression, Raditz couldn't care about puzzling over when Turles had seen a Super Saiyan. He continuously looked at Turles with pleading eyes, only hoping Turles would mercifully spare him today. The final result disappointed Raditz.
"Turles, can we not..." Carefully shuffling before Turles, Raditz wanted to make a final struggle.
Turles ignored Raditz's reluctance, directly pulling Raditz over, then having him turn his back.
Raditz could only despairingly turn around, mentally prepared for transformation.
Still the familiar feeling, still the familiar taste. Raditz only felt a slight sting from his tail region, then power continuously surged from his tail. Except this time, he seemed to feel Turles had done something else differently.
"ROAR!"
Raditz subconsciously roared, but quickly sensed something wrong.
Though his aura had begun continuously strengthening, his body hadn't expanded like before. Nor was there that barely suppressible destructive desire after Great Ape transformation.
"Hm?" Raditz couldn't help turning around, looking at Turles with confusion.
He saw Turles looking at him with a smile, eyes showing some surprise. Meanwhile, Paragus had already activated his scouter, face full of shock!
At this moment, Raditz finally reacted. He actually hadn't transformed into Great Ape, yet power continuously surged within his body.
Raditz clenched his fist, finally unable to help asking Paragus: "Paragus, what's my current battle power?"
Paragus recovered from shock, looking at Turles with complex emotions before replying faintly: "55,000!"
"Hah!"
After hearing Paragus's answer, Raditz directly laughed out loud.
You see, current Vegeta's battle power hadn't even reached 20,000. Yet he already had 55,000—far exceeding Vegeta. As for Vegeta being able to maintain rationality after transformation, Raditz had subconsciously ignored that. After all, people should maintain some self-confidence!
Turles couldn't watch anymore. One kick sent Raditz flying. He said irritably: "Look at what you've become first before talking!"
Even kicked by Turles, this time Raditz had no complaints. He felt he'd reached his peak. Even if Turles trampled him again, he'd now be willing.
Raditz flew above a small lake. In the water's surface, he saw his reflection. At first glance, Raditz was stunned by his own handsomeness!
The lake-reflected Raditz no longer looked as before. His battle armor had disappeared. Replacing it was body hair the same color as his tail. The fur covered Raditz's arms and back, only exposing his strong chest—giving him a wild feeling.
His waist-length hair seemed to have grown somewhat, messily draped behind him. Most satisfying to Raditz were his eyes—pupils had turned golden, paired with brown eye shadow. Raditz found himself increasingly pleasing no matter how he looked.
That's right—Raditz's current transformation closely resembled Goku's Super Saiyan 4 transformation from GT. The only difference was body hair color. This was also why Turles felt somewhat surprised seeing Raditz's transformation.
Though Turles had some speculation about Super Saiyan 4 transformation, he hadn't expected a transformation involving only Great Ape power would give Raditz changes similar to Super Saiyan 4. Moreover, aside from color, there seemed no difference. This also proved Turles's hypothesis correct.
After waiting forever without Raditz returning, Turles could only follow his ki signature.
Just finding Raditz, Turles's face immediately darkened. His decent mood vanished instantly. His mouth began twitching.
Watching Raditz still posing narcissistically, Turles gave Paragus a look. Naturally curious about Raditz's strength, Paragus wouldn't be polite. Accelerating, he directly dove toward Raditz.
Currently, Paragus's battle power—after this period training under gravity—had reached 45,000. His strength could be said to have doubled. Though inferior to Raditz's current 55,000, Paragus felt no fear.
You see, Raditz's battle power only reached 55,000 under Great Ape power amplification. His original battle power was only 5,500. Suddenly experiencing tenfold amplification, he might not immediately adapt. Besides, Paragus also found Raditz's showy actions somewhat annoying. Of course, he'd absolutely never admit he was somewhat jealous of Raditz's transformation.
Though Paragus attacked suddenly, Raditz—after such long training—wasn't useless. Before Paragus got close, Raditz had a feeling. This was a mysterious, indescribable sensation Raditz had never experienced before.
"It's ki sensing!"
Turles's words from training suddenly surfaced in Raditz's mind.
Knowing he'd possibly mastered a technique even Paragus hadn't, Raditz grew somewhat excited. Thinking his current battle power exceeded Paragus's, and being able to trample Paragus next—Raditz, always at the bottom of their four-person team, grew even more excited.
Raditz forcibly suppressed his inner joy, still posing toward the lake surface. Secretly though, he'd already tensed his muscles, preparing to give Paragus a "surprise."
'Closer, closer!' Raditz sensed Paragus's ki signature, shouting internally.
Suddenly, Raditz whipped around, both arms directly blocking Paragus's fists. Meeting Paragus's shocked eyes, he smiled smugly: "Got you!"
