Chapter 20: Mastering the Power of the Great Ape!
The Saiyans were shocked upon hearing Mu Chuan's words. Could there really be such a technique? If they could truly master the power of the Great Ape, their base combat strength would increase tenfold. This would make all the Saiyans on par with the elite Ginyu Force, becoming one of the strongest teams in the universe.
"Can we, as low-class warriors, also master this?" one Saiyan asked, doubtingly.
It wasn't surprising that he lacked confidence. Whenever Saiyans transformed under a full moon, low-class warriors typically lost control. This was common knowledge. If all Saiyans could control this transformation, it would indeed be terrifying!
Mu Chuan observed the various expressions on the faces of the Saiyans—doubt, nervousness, anticipation, excitement—and took it all in. He reassured them, "There is no need to worry. Even low-class warriors can master this; it will just require more effort. Believe in yourselves!"
"In the past, did you ever imagine you could achieve a combat power of over ten thousand?" he asked.
"Indeed, we never thought we'd achieve such power, given our limitations as low-class warriors," a Saiyan agreed, nodding.
If they could achieve that, what else couldn't they accomplish?
Suddenly, the Saiyans felt a surge of confidence, easing their previous anxiety. Sensing the moment was right, Mu Chuan continued, "Next, I will demonstrate how to harness the terrifying power of the Great Ape!"
"This involves maintaining a degree of rationality during the transformation into a Great Ape and retaining a human form. This allows for both the power of the Great Ape and the optimal combat form, without any significant weaknesses."
As he explained, Mu Chuan adjusted the gravity suit he was wearing, gradually setting it to zero before removing it. Instantly, a terrifying aura emanated from him, making him feel lighter than ever before. Although he hadn't worn the gravity suit for long, his rapid increase in power had been disorienting. However, he quickly adapted, and his aura exploded outward.
The barren planet began to tremble, with faint cracks appearing as if the entire world might shatter. The shockwave was so powerful that all the Saiyans were blown away, unable to resist, despite some having power levels over ten thousand. They felt as insignificant as ants, unable to withstand the impact.
"This... this overwhelming aura, such terrifying pressure, it seems even more intense than Frieza's!" one Saiyan exclaimed, eyes wide with shock. The rest were similarly awestruck, momentarily forgetting to focus on the power of the Great Ape and instead being mesmerized by Mu Chuan's incredible combat power.
"I suddenly want to know... just how powerful our leader's combat strength has become!" one Saiyan mused aloud.
"Impossible! Our current scouters are too outdated; they can't measure such immense power levels! They'd explode!" another replied.
"Unless there's a new type of scouter, there's no way we can measure it," one of them sighed, and they gave up on the idea. Although curious, they knew they couldn't gauge Mu Chuan's true combat strength without the proper equipment.
Mu Chuan, now free from the gravity device, felt incredibly light, and his power began to surge, reaching its peak combat strength. Even though the system displayed numbers, he had never truly grasped the extent of his power—until now.
His combat strength stabilized at 1.3 million, equivalent to Frieza's second form. If he were to transform into a Great Ape, his power level would soar to 13 million. While not yet on par with Frieza, he had gained a solid foundation. Should he master the transformation into a Super Saiyan, he would be confident enough to challenge Frieza.
"1.3 million combat strength... That's incredible!" he marveled. "I feel like I could crush Ginyu with a single finger."
Despite his immense power, he was somewhat disappointed by his limited combat techniques. His abilities were mainly reliant on raw strength, lacking in diversity. The system hadn't been particularly helpful in this regard, leaving him to rely on brute force.
After feeling his full power for the first time, he calmed himself and addressed the awestruck Saiyans. "Watch closely. Observe how I do this. You will all try it next. And don't worry about damaging this barren planet!"
Without hesitation, Mu Chuan's body began to expand, transforming into a Great Ape. However, he quickly shrank back to human form, surrounded by a red aura and an overwhelming, ferocious energy that seemed to shake the entire planet.
His aura had increased tenfold. Even though he had mastered the power of the Great Ape, using it still heightened his aggression. Despite this, he remained composed, casting a steady gaze at the Saiyans, who were frozen in place, unable to move.
"This is the power of the Great Ape! Maintaining a human form after transformation not only boosts our base combat strength tenfold but also avoids the sluggishness of the Great Ape form," he explained. "With this transformation, we Saiyans can stand strong in this vast universe. However, one must adapt to the surge in aggression and the potential for planetary destruction."
Mu Chuan continued to explain as he controlled the power, knowing that strengthening his followers would ease many burdens, allowing him to focus on training without worldly distractions.
