Chapter 8: Chapter 8: State of Mind

Inside a palace at Frieza's headquarters.

“Lord Frieza, Vegeta has returned after completing another mission,” Dodoria bowed towards the upper part of the palace.

A ‘stroller’ hovered above the palace, with Frieza seated in it. He said indifferently, “Has the monitoring equipment sent back any news?”

“Reporting, my Lord, Vegeta’s squad has lost another Saiyan. Now there are only 6 members left in his squad.”

“Anything else?”

“Oh, and my Lord, according to Vegeta, there are still quite a few people from his Saiyan Clan scattered outside.”

Dodoria chuckled sinisterly, “Among them is Raditz’s younger brother, who is said to have been exiled to a barren planet. That planet seems to be called Earth.”

“Earth? Never heard of it. How strong is that guy?”

“.......”

Dodoria suddenly turned red in the face.

Frieza’s expression darkened, “Hmm?”

Dodoria quickly apologized, “My Lord, I’m sorry, but Raditz’s younger brother’s battle power is just too ridiculous. His battle power at birth was only 2 points!”

“2 points of battle power?!!!”

Frieza’s pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

A Saiyan with only 2 points of battle power!!!

Is this a number a person can achieve? Even a dog probably has more strength than that!

Frieza’s face instantly turned crimson, and he could no longer hold back.

“Oh ho ho~~~”

“......”

Dodoria always felt that his Lord’s laughter sounded like it came from an idiot, but he dared not say it.

“My Lord, since there are so many Saiyans outside, to prevent future troubles, should we send people to eliminate them?”

“Do you think a cripple with only 2 points of battle power needs to be dealt with? Don’t waste time.”

Frieza suddenly stopped smiling and waved his hand, “Go, continue to let Vegeta carry out planet-clearing missions. My planet-selling business can’t do without them.”

“Yes!”

His Lord was a bit temperamental, but what was wrong with his Lord just wanting to be a cosmic real estate developer?

Following his Lord meant living a life of luxury, so Dodoria still deeply respected his Lord!

Dodoria bowed and left the palace. After he left, the idiotic laughter soon echoed in the palace again:

“Oh ho ho~~~”

“To be able to produce a cripple with even 2 points of battle power, how dare such a garbage race call themselves a warrior race?!”

On the other side.

Soon after little Vegeta returned to Frieza's headquarters, he received a new mission, and his face instantly turned extremely dark.

Raditz, who was nearby, asked, “Vegeta, what’s wrong?”

Little Vegeta turned his head, his tone full of killing intent, “That Frieza guy is making us go out on another mission!”

“What?”

Nappa was furious, “Is he really treating us like cattle?!”

“Shut up!”

Little Vegeta suppressed the anger in his heart. Ever since Planet Vegeta exploded, his squad's treatment had taken a turn for the worse.

“Let’s go!”

Defy Frieza’s orders? Little Vegeta was young, but he wasn't stupid.

Without Planet Vegeta as a backing, if he dared to defy Frieza’s orders, he would probably be eliminated by the Ginyu Force in the next second!

“Doesn’t he always want us to carry out missions? Alright, we’ll go out and carry out missions, but this time we’ll return three years later!”

“Yes!”

Raditz and the others’ eyes lit up.

Soon, 7 small spaceships left Frieza’s headquarters again.

......

World of the Gods of Destruction.

Another week had passed, and Gran had been in the World of the Gods of Destruction for over a month.

“Hmph!!”

A chubby little fellow hovered in the void, blasting an energy ball forward, then transforming into a streak of light to chase after it.

Arriving in front of the energy ball, he pushed his hands forward, and another energy ball blasted from his palms.

Boom—!

A deafening explosion instantly echoed in the sky.

“He has indeed mastered every ounce of his body’s strength. This kid is truly a monster!”

Whis stood by the lake, watching the commotion in the sky, and couldn’t help but nod.

The smoke in the sky dissipated, and Gran reappeared in view. The clash of energy balls just now hadn't harmed him.

“Still too wild!”

Gran hovered in the void, looking at his hands.

He had been in the Dragon Ball World for over a month. He first came to the World of the Gods of Destruction, then entered a mysterious world for a great escape.

As for the increase in power, according to Whis, his current battle power had reached 320,000.

Some might say that being guided by an angel for over a month and only increasing battle power by that much is a bit too low!

In fact, it wasn't!

Strictly speaking, Whis hadn't even guided Gran in cultivation yet; he had only let Gran enter that mysterious world once.

Moreover, Gran was currently only 6 years old, and he was still in the foundational stage.

Coupled with his potential having only recently been awakened, his ability to increase his battle power from 160,000 to 320,000 was thanks to those numerous great escapes in the mysterious world!

“Mr. Whis.”

Gran descended from the sky and said helplessly, “I feel that my power is still too wild; it always makes me misjudge during combat!”

“Oh ho ho~”

Whis chuckled, “It’s very good that you can notice that.”

“Then what should I do to calm my power?”

“First, make me a complete dumpling feast!”

Whis pouted.

A week ago, when this little guy was making dumplings, he mixed half of the dumplings without filling together.

Half with filling, half all dough—is that something a person would do?

Gran grinned, “Whose fault is it that you didn’t warn me about the horrors in that room before?”

“Since you don’t want to do it, then I won’t teach you either.”

“Damn Whis, fine, I’ll do it!”

Gran angrily ran to the stove and started working.

Whis looked at his small back and chuckled, “Trying to contend with me? You’re still too green!”

Half an hour later.

Whis finally enjoyed a delicious dumpling feast. No dumplings that were all dough—it was truly fragrant!

After Whis finished eating and tidied up.

Gran stood by the lake, his gaze burning, “Alright, it’s time to teach me how to calm my power, isn’t it?”

Whis rolled his eyes at him but didn’t tease him anymore, “You can already control your power freely, but do you know what power is?”

“Power? Isn’t power just power?”

Gran pretended to be confused.

He probably guessed what Whis was going to teach him; it should be related to ‘Ki’.

Indeed!

“It’s Ki!”

Whis said indifferently, “Everything has Ki. Ki is the source of a person’s power. Only with greater Ki will your power be greater.”

Gran pondered, “So my power is wild because my Ki is wild?”

“Exactly.”

Whis gave Gran a look that said, ‘you’re teachable’, “You are a Saiyan, and you must have fought in the universe. You should also have some understanding of those cosmic beings.”

“Mm.”

“You Saiyans, including those cosmic beings, are actually all the same. The environment of constant warfare has long made your Ki chaotic.”

Whis said helplessly, “If your Ki is chaotic, how can your power not be wild?”

“Then how can I calm my Ki?”

Gran suddenly remembered what Whis had said a week ago and tentatively asked, “Could it be that the state of mind you mentioned before is the way to resolve the wild Ki?”
