This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

"Ha... Ha..."

"As expected of Lord Yuujin, even if all of us join forces, we can't defeat you," said Tien Shinhan, panting heavily in the training ground.

This was only natural. Despite the growth Tien Shinhan and the others had achieved, a massive gap still remained between them and Yuujin. If they could defeat him, Yuujin wouldn't deserve his reputation.

"Damn it!!!" Piccolo's voice roared as he punched the ground in frustration.

One of his arms, now severed, dripped with blood, but the defiant Piccolo ignored it entirely. After training with King Kai, Piccolo had seen the greatest power increase among them, now boasting over 200,000 combat power. He had believed he might finally defeat Yuujin. Yet, despair engulfed him as he realized the gap between them had only widened.

How could he accept this?!

"Now, now, don't be discouraged, Piccolo. You've already done quite well."

"See that woman over there? Her name's Vegeta. She's also obsessed with defeating me."

"You all keep working hard. Stay persistent, and don't give up. I'll always be here to accept your challenges," Yuujin said with a smile, standing before Piccolo and offering words of encouragement.

Piccolo's face turned a sickly shade of green, his lips twitching. Nearby, Vegeta gritted her teeth, struggling against the impulse to slap the smirk off his face.

Feeling satisfied, Yuujin stretched lazily and added, "Alright, head back to Earth and get some rest."

"Soon, powerful enemies may invade Earth. Protecting it will require your strength. I look forward to your performance."

"Understood, Lord Yuujin," Tien Shinhan and the others responded before departing the temple. After a year of grueling training, they indeed needed a break.

"Piccolo, when the enemy invades Earth, you will fight to protect it. That's your next task," Yuujin said to the remaining Piccolo.

Having failed yet another challenge, Piccolo was bound by their agreement to continue his honorable duty of protecting Earth and its inhabitants. With a cold snort, a fiery aura burst around Piccolo before he descended from the temple. Though he didn't reply, Yuujin knew Piccolo would ultimately fulfill his role.

Piccolo and Vegeta both possessed fierce pride, refusing to submit easily to others. But once Yuujin held their weak points, controlling them became simple.

Inside the laboratory within the temple, Yuujin, Goku, and Vegeta lay naked inside individual capsules. Beams of light scanned their bodies while Bulma and her team of female researchers recorded data outside.

After a long and intricate examination, the process was finally complete. The capsules opened, and Yuujin, Goku, and Vegeta emerged.

"Lord Yuujin," Suno and Meizhen, who had been waiting outside, hurriedly dressed Yuujin. Other maids assisted Goku and Vegeta.

"How did it go, Bulma?" Yuujin asked as he settled into a sofa with his favorite maids.

"This is the result of the examination," Bulma, dressed in her lab coat, handed the findings to the group. Yuujin casually flipped through a few pages. Goku, mimicking him, grinned sheepishly, admitting she couldn't understand anything. Vegeta, however, frowned deeply.

"What is this?" Vegeta asked.

"These are the distribution values of the S-cells in your Saiyan bodies," Bulma explained, detailing the role of S-cells in transforming into Super Saiyans.

Hearing this, Vegeta raised an eyebrow before breaking into a derisive sneer.

"Saiyans grow stronger through battle. Only by fighting can we achieve greatness. You think this will make us Super Saiyans? What a joke!" Vegeta's aura flared as she crushed the report in her hand into dust.

"You!!!" Bulma glared angrily at Vegeta for destroying their hard-earned data.

"Alright, Bulma, calm down. You know the princess's temperament," Yuujin said, pulling Bulma into an embrace to soothe her. He then added, "Forget Vegeta for now. Tell me about Goku and me."

Still fuming, Bulma took a moment to collect herself before answering. "Compared to the initial data, the S-cells in your and Goku's bodies have increased significantly. However, they're still short of the theoretical value needed for transformation into Super Saiyans."

"At the current rate, how long will it take to reach the theoretical value?" Yuujin asked.

"At least a few more years, assuming no unexpected changes," Bulma replied uncertainly. The growth of S-cells in their bodies wasn't stable, so she could only provide a rough estimate.

"Years..." Yuujin muttered, his brows furrowed deeply.

With Frieza potentially descending upon Earth at any moment, they couldn't afford to wait that long. Even without Frieza, Yuujin had no intention of wasting years cultivating inner peace to grow his S-cells slowly. With Vegeta constantly training to surpass him, Yuujin risked losing his position of dominance if she overtook him in strength.

Yuujin thrived on the thrill of control and had no desire to be usurped. Slow growth wasn't an option. The only alternative was a method to accelerate transformation: intense emotional stimulation.

After deliberate preparation, the S-cells in Yuujin's and Goku's bodies had reached a certain level. With the addition of S-cells generated under emotional extremes, transformation might become achievable. Although many of these S-cells would revert once emotions subsided, successfully transforming the first timea would make subsequent transformations much easier.

However, achieving intense emotional stimulation wasn't simple. Human emotions like anger, fear, or jealousy were ever-present but rarely reached the necessary intensity. It wasn't as simple as having someone break your bowl of food, getting angry, and transforming into a Super Saiyan.

Yuujin groaned inwardly. He had hoped to transform before Frieza arrived, ensuring an invincible position, but it now seemed unlikely.

Just then, the laboratory door burst open, and Violet, clad in a military uniform, stormed in with urgency.

"Master, the enemy has appeared!"
