Before long, Son Goku and Vegeta both recovered from the joy of successfully breaking through to Super Saiyan Third Grade.
They keenly perceived the shortcomings of Super Saiyan Third Grade.
Why did it seem like the ki within their bodies was constantly leaking away, unable to gather?
"What's going on? Why is the power loss in Super Saiyan Third Grade state so fast?! Even with all my strength to maintain it, I can't stop it," Son Goku said, utterly surprised.
The powerful increase in power from Super Saiyan Third Grade did indeed make him ecstatic.
However, the energy in their bodies was leaking uncontrollably. Their seemingly powerful forms were now like funnels, constantly leaking air.
Son Goku tried to plug the gap, preventing the ki from leaking, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it.
It felt like his body was incomplete, and unless that gap was plugged with something, it simply wouldn't work.
After trying various methods without solving the problem of ki leakage, Son Goku simply released the Super Saiyan Third Grade transformation and returned to his Base Form.
However, as soon as he released the transformation, a huge feeling of exhaustion suddenly hit him, almost causing him to fall.
The previous battle with Vegeta had already consumed most of his stamina, coupled with the mental pressure from the breakthrough during the battle and the massive consumption of Super Saiyan Third Grade, the multiple burdens stacked up, directly causing his body to be unable to bear it, leaving him exhausted.
Fortunately, his foundation was solid enough to withstand such a huge consumption. If it were someone else, they would probably be pale and unconscious.
"What exactly went wrong? Could it be because my skill is not enough?" Vegeta was also extremely puzzled by the energy leakage problem.
Unable to find the reason, he directly attributed the problem to his lack of experience.
Soon, Vegeta, his mind returning, also released the Super Saiyan Third Grade transformation and returned to his Base Form, though not as noticeably as Son Goku.
Adjusting his state, Vegeta turned his gaze to Son Goku, his eyes sharp, locking onto him like an eagle.
Their eyes collided, neither willing to concede to the other.
They had previously agreed that whoever completed the Super Saiyan Third Grade transformation first would win.
Now that they had both completed the Super Saiyan Third Grade transformation at the same time, the battle could only be considered a draw.
"Looks like our duel this time is a tie," Son Goku said with a smile.
"Hmph! Consider yourself lucky, Kakarot," Vegeta said unhappily.
Just then, a crisp sound of applause came from not far away.
Hearing the sound, the two turned their gaze and found that the comers were Talot and Son Gohan.
"Good fight, you both successfully broke through to Super Saiyan Third Grade, but you should be wondering why your Super Saiyan Third Grade has a constant energy leak, right?" Talot hit the nail on the head with their doubts.
Son Goku and Vegeta nodded quickly upon hearing this.
"The massive energy consumption of Super Saiyan Third Grade is several times that of Super Saiyan Second Grade, I can understand that, but why is our energy leaking uncontrollably? Where is the problem?" Son Goku took the initiative to ask.
Vegeta remained silent, because Son Goku had already asked all his questions.
"The problem is naturally with you, because your bodies are incomplete," Talot explained.
"Incomplete?"
"Are you saying that Kakarot and I are missing something?!"
Son Goku and Vegeta were extremely surprised to hear this.
They understood what Talot meant, but they didn't understand what Talot was referring to.
"That's right, that thing is the source of our Saiyan power," Talot teased, without directly pointing out what the two were missing.
Hearing this, Son Goku and Vegeta were even more surprised, and Son Gohan also joined in the speculation.
The source of Saiyan power?
The thing they were missing was so important that it could be called the source of the Saiyans, it must be extraordinary.
The three fell into thought. Son Goku and Son Gohan felt a headache, but Vegeta, after Talot's reminder, seemed to have thought of something.
A passage that his father, King Vegeta, had warned him was recalled and echoed in his mind.
Whenever the night of the full moon comes, it is when they Saiyans show their true power.
And the key to showing that power... is... the Tail!!
"I understand, the thing you're referring to is our Saiyan Tail, right?" Vegeta suddenly understood and said.
"Tail?!" Son Gohan looked surprised.
"Right! I remember, it's the Tail!" Son Goku excitedly chimed in.
"That's right, what you're missing is the Tail. The Tail is not only the source of our Saiyan's power, but also the key to stabilizing Super Saiyan Third Grade. Without a Tail, you will never be able to cultivate Super Saiyan Third Grade to its ultimate state, and the problem of aura leakage cannot be solved. Also, I need to remind you that the Tail is also the key to mastering Super Saiyan Fourth Grade," Talot gave everyone an affirmative answer.
After learning how important the Tail was, the three couldn't help but gasp.
The Tail, which they had previously regarded as a burden, now had such a great effect.
It could not only help them perfectly master the power of Super Saiyan Third Grade, but it was also the key for them to reach Super Saiyan Fourth Grade.
After understanding the importance of the Tail, Son Goku and Vegeta regretted it.
They both had Tails before, but unfortunately, they mistakenly thought that the Tail was not important, so they abandoned it.
Since the Tail was cut off, they have been consciously mobilizing energy to fill the vacant flesh.
As a result, the missing area has now been filled with flesh, and the Tail cannot be easily grown back, even if they eat a Senzu Bean.
"Damn it!! I actually made such a low-level mistake. I should have thought that the Tail was the key for us Saiyans to unlock our power!" Vegeta clenched his fists, regretting his past stupidity.
Super Saiyan Fourth Grade was the form he dreamed of, and it was also a symbol of the Saiyan bloodline. Vegeta's desire for that form was too obsessive.
But now that he learned that the Tail was a crucial key to unlocking Super Saiyan Fourth Grade, he felt his blood surge and his body burn with anger.
"This is bad, it seems my Tail can't grow back anymore." Son Goku also said with a distressed look at this time.
His Tail had never grown back since it was removed by the Former Kami at Kami's Lookout.
At first, he didn't care much, and even felt that it didn't matter if he lost a Tail.
But now, it was too late to regret.
"Regarding this issue, you can wait until the Dragon Balls are restored in half a year and use Shenron to grant your wish." Talot gave a suggestion.
Since the Tail cannot be grown back through normal methods, wouldn't a wish from Shenron solve it? "That's right, there are still the Dragon Balls, it seems this is the only way." Son Goku thought for a moment, and seemed to have an idea.
"Half a year... it's not too long." Vegeta pondered for a moment and nodded. This half a year was just right for him to settle down, improve his Base Form Battle Power, and deeply understand the power of Super Saiyan Third Grade.
When the time comes to wish for a new Tail from Shenron, his accumulation can also explode in one go, and his Super Saiyan Third Grade can directly reach its peak.
After Super Saiyan Third Grade can exert power far beyond his own limits, it will be easier to try to break through to Super Saiyan Fourth Grade.
Vegeta's thinking was very simple, he didn't know that some conditions were needed to complete Super Fourth.
Talot didn't say too much.
Before long, the conversation between the few ended.
The purpose had been achieved, and there was no need to stay here any longer.
After Son Goku and Son Gohan said goodbye to Talot and Vegeta, they directly used Instant Transmission to leave, saying that they were going to Kami's Lookout.
Talot wanted to take Vegeta back to West City, but was rejected.
If he didn't leave, Talot wouldn't stay here with him.
At this point, the destined duel between Son Goku and Vegeta ended in a draw.
...
Time flies.
Half a year has passed since the end of the destined battle between Son Goku and Vegeta.
In the past six months, everything has returned to calm. The Earth in this world has not been invaded by foreign enemies, and everything has been developing quietly and orderly.
After this period of precipitation, Talot finally recovered from his injuries, refined all the remaining Time-Space Power in his body, and his strength was restored to its peak.
No! It should be said that he has surpassed his peak!
After the Time-Space Power remaining in his body was completely digested, his body strength and power broke through the limit.
His Base Form Battle Power has reached an astonishing level, the realm of the Seventh Dimension Gai! However, numbers are not the key to measuring a person's strength. Talot's strength cannot be simply measured by numbers.
If he releases it in conjunction with the power of the laws he now masters, his power can even touch the true realm of a God of Destruction! Then there are the others in this world who have been affected by him, and have undergone considerable changes in the past six months.
Not only Son Goku, Son Gohan, and Vegeta, these three Saiyans, under his intervention, mastered the Super Saiyan Third Grade transformation that transcended eras, but also, after wishing upon Earth's Shenron, regrew their Tails, planning to aim for the higher realm of Super Saiyan Fourth Grade.
In this era where even Majin Buu has not yet hatched, they have already reached the Super Saiyan Third Grade realm and are about to aim for Super Fourth. Even if powerful opponents appear in the future, they probably won't last a few rounds in front of them.
Moreover, besides these three strongest Saiyans, Piccolo, who was previously suggested by Talot to train on Namek, has also returned in the past six months.
After becoming whole again, he displayed extremely astonishing comprehension on Namek.
He has already mastered the Dragon God Power, and his strength has greatly increased because of it! However, compared to Son Goku and Vegeta, these two guys who have mastered Super Saiyan Third Grade, he is still a bit lacking.
A few days ago, Talot even met with him and knew that Piccolo should also enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for training soon.
When he comes out, perhaps his strength will directly chase after Sun Bei.
In these six months, Talot has not only simply recovered his strength.
During these six months, he also went to Namek and, with the help of the Dragon Balls there, upgraded his personal Storage Small World.
With the help of the Shenron Porunga, his Storage Small World not only doubled in storage area, but also gained a moon-sized planet capable of accommodating life.
As long as Talot is willing, he can directly take others into his Storage Small World.
Upgrading the Storage Small World was also Talot's preparation for leaving.
He took a trip to Future Trunks' Time-Space world and met Future Trunks and Future Bulma.
After a series of in-depth conversations, Talot brought Future Trunks and Future Bulma to this Time-Space of the past.
The reason was that the world they were in was already incomplete and a world without hope. Instead of staying in that broken future, it was better to return to the present of the past and start their lives anew. Not only were their families there, but also their friends.
Originally, Future Trunks could not accept it at first, but after Future Bulma agreed to go to the past era to live, Future Trunks did not say anything more.
The era of the past was indeed much more stable than the future Time-Space, and everyone was there, especially Dad.
At that time, Talot could see that Bulma was also reluctant, but she agreed for Trunks' sake.
She also knew that Trunks would respect her choice, so she accepted the proposal.
As Future Trunks and Future Bulma returned to this world, Talot naturally did not forget to use Shenron to grant a wish to help Future Bulma regain her youth.
This wish was the second wish after Son Goku and Vegeta wished for the Saiyans to restore their Tails.
Everything was ready, and then his plan was officially launched.
He was going to take Bulma and Android 18 from this Time-Space world back to his own Time-Space world.
Take Android 18 too? That's right!
Men always make mistakes. After getting along for half a year, they naturally and inevitably confirmed their relationship, leaving Talot unsure of how to explain it when he returned.
But it had come to this, so there was no other way.
Because they knew this news, the people of this Time-Space world held a farewell banquet.
After the banquet, Talot used Time-Space Power to open the Time-Space Tunnel.
Bulma was still very reluctant, after all, she belonged to this Time-Space. Once she left, she didn't know when she would be able to return.
"Don't worry, you can come back if you have the opportunity in the future, and although the Time-Spaces are different, the people are similar," Talot said.
"Yes! Actually, I already have a new idea. Recently, I have been working with my future self to research Time-Space Communication Devices. Maybe after arriving in your Time-Space, I can work with myself in that Time-Space to research a machine that transcends eras. At that time, not only can we achieve direct transmission, but perhaps we can directly build a bridge connecting Time-Spaces..." Talot found Bulma's bold ideas unimaginable.
As expected of Bulma.
