Time flew by. A year and a half had passed since Qin Yan learned Instant Transmission. During this time, he had buried himself in bitter cultivation to enhance his strength.
It had been three years since he left Planet Vegeta. It was now Age 735; in less than two years, Planet Vegeta would likely be destroyed. Time was running out for Qin Yan.
A few days ago, his Grand Primeval Chaos Creation Dao Profound True Wonder Art finally broke through to the fifth layer of the first tier. This caused his power level to soar by two million points. By his calculations, his total power level had reached 3.2 million.
[Host: Qin Yan (Saiyan name: Karos)]
[Age: 6.5 years old]
[Power Level: 3.2 million]
[Cultivation Method: Grand Primeval Chaos Creation Dao Profound True Wonder Art (Tier 1, Layer 5)]
[Martial Arts: Energy Wave, Kamehameha, Hunyuan Wuji Wave, Kaio-ken, Solar Flare]
[Equipment: Chaos Profound Mechanism Ring (Controllable time flow up to 5x)]
[Items: Ultra Instinct (857/10000), Senzu Bean x2420, Gravity Turtle Shell x1260, Special Battle Armor x360, Training Gi x400 sets.]
[Overall Evaluation: Still a mere ant.]
Qin Yan opened the system and checked his attributes. Seeing the system's evaluation, he was speechless. He hadn't expected that even with a power level of over three million, he would still be considered "a mere ant." It was a classic case of the system trying to disgust him.
However, his improvement over this period had been objective. This massive power level was largely due to the breakthrough in the Grand Primeval Chaos Creation Dao Profound True Wonder Art.
Breaking through the fourth layer had granted 400,000 points, which was four times the 100,000 gained from the third layer. However, the fifth layer provided five times the increase of the fourth, reaching 2 million. There seemed to be a clear pattern here.
Furthermore, during his annual sign-in a year ago, he had obtained the Kaio-ken, which had thrilled him. He had also received a 100,000-point boost to his power level from that sign-in.
Combined with his Saiyan bloodline and the buffs from his cultivation method, his training speed was decent. A year of hard work had naturally increased his base power level by over 500,000. All these factors together resulted in his current 3.2 million power level.
The Kaio-ken was a technique created by North Kai. It allowed a user to multiply their power level several or even dozens of times over for a short duration. Through training, one could increase the multiplier they could withstand, but the burden on the body was immense.
In the original timeline, Son Goku learned this move while training under North Kai before Vegeta and Nappa invaded Earth. It served as a vital support technique before the appearance of the Super Saiyan transformation.
Later, because Goku learned to become a Super Saiyan, he rarely used it until he was forced to bridge the strength gap during his duels against Pikkon in Dragon Ball Z, and later against Hit, Zamasu (Fused), Kefla, and Jiren in Dragon Ball Super.
The move wasn't a direct attack but a multiplier for strength, speed, attack power, and defense. Similar to a Super Saiyan transformation, it could boost one's strength in an instant.
In the original manga, the highest multiplier Goku used against Frieza was 20x. In the original movie Lord Slug, Goku utilized a 100x Kaio-ken with Piccolo's help to defeat the evil Namekian.
Additionally, after Goku died during the Cell Games, he used the Kaio-ken while in his Super Saiyan form during the Other World Tournament against Pikkon. It only lasted a moment because the combined burden of Super Saiyan and the Kaio-ken was likely too great.
He only dared to use it then because he was already approaching Super Saiyan 2 and possessed an incredibly tough physique. He called that form the Super Kaio-ken.
The move could even be used in conjunction with the Kamehameha. However, the Kaio-ken had severe negative effects. If the multiplier exceeded what the body could handle, the user's physical form would collapse.
In Dragon Ball Super, during the tournament between Universe 6 and Universe 7, Goku used a 10x Kaio-ken while in his Super Saiyan Blue state to defeat Hit. After the battle ended, his body began to fail, resulting in severe side effects, though he eventually overcame this by the time of the Tournament of Power.
Qin Yan suspected that Goku's heart disease might have been caused by the strain of the Kaio-ken, or perhaps by the Ultra Divine Water he drank as a child.
As for North Kai, he was the god responsible for managing the North Galaxy, including Earth. He was one of the Five Grand Kais and acted as one of Goku's martial arts mentors. He lived on King Kai's Planet where gravity was ten times that of Earth alongside his pet monkey,
Bubbles, and the grasshopper, Gregory. His antennae allowed him to sense anything within the entire galaxy. One could say that Goku's achievements were inseparable from North Kai's guidance.
With Qin Yan's current physical strength, he could easily utilize the 20x Kaio-ken. This meant that if he exerted himself fully, his power level would skyrocket to around 64 million. It was incredibly formidable, yet Qin Yan felt little joy. This wasn't enough to defeat Frieza. He still needed to train harder.
Because the Kaio-ken had such massive side effects, Qin Yan didn't dare use it lightly. He was still in his growth phase, and he didn't want to stunt his development. His most urgent goal was to achieve the Super Saiyan transformation. He intended to shift his focus entirely toward that training.
Fortunately, he still had about two years. Within this timeframe, he had to achieve the transformation. If that wasn't possible, he at least needed to raise his base power level to over 6 million.
Today was the day for his annual sign-in. Qin Yan was filled with anticipation; he had noticed that the rewards for the annual sign-in were always far more generous than usual. He opened the system, ready to begin.
Qin Yan immersed his consciousness into his sea of spirit and communicated with the system, whispering in his heart, "System, perform today's sign-in."
The system responded immediately. A beautiful voice rang out in his mind.
"Ding! Annual sign-in successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Ancestral Saiyan Bloodline and a 1-million-point power level bonus!"
Boom!
Qin Yan felt as if his mind had exploded. He had heard of the Ancestral Saiyan Bloodline and the 1-million-point bonus. This was a bombshell; the reward was simply too generous.
Hearing of the Ancestral Saiyan Bloodline for the first time, Qin Yan was confused. He hurriedly checked the information regarding it. What he found shocked him.
The brief introduction stated that this was the original bloodline of the strongest fighting race, the Saiyans. Its power was extremely overbearing and potent, comparable to that of the top-tier Angel Race in the universe.
It possessed high growth potential and incredible plasticity. However, fusion required caution. Integrating the Ancestral Saiyan Bloodline required immense physical strength.
It was suggested that the user have a base power level of at least 3 million for a stable fusion. If one's strength was too low, the violent power of the bloodline could cause the body to explode.
"Holy crap, that's too powerful... too terrifying," Qin Yan muttered. The conditions for fusion were incredibly harsh. He had a premonition that after fusing with the Ancestral Saiyan Bloodline, his strength would undergo a heaven-defying change.
Qin Yan prepared to integrate the bloodline. His base power level had already exceeded three million, meeting the requirement. As for his physical constitution, he wasn't worried.
After reaching the fifth layer of the first tier of the Grand Primeval Chaos Creation Dao Profound True Wonder Art, his physical toughness had reached an almost inconceivable level.
All the conditions were met. There was nothing left to fear.
"Let's do this!"
