A Long-Awaited Invitation to Battle

"Thank you, Grand Elder."

Even the usually aloof young Piccolo was moved by the Grand Elder's sacrifice.

Of course, the most important thing was the Grand Elder's approachability, which made him unconsciously feel respect.

The Grand Elder rubbed Piccolo's little head again, then looked at Talot.

"Piccolo will stay on Namek Planet from now on, you can rest assured, I will train him well." The Grand Elder seemed to be able to see through people's minds.

Talot nodded slightly. No matter what the Grand Elder was thinking, Piccolo's matter was settled.

"I am naturally relieved to leave Piccolo with you, but enough about him, your current state is not optimistic." Talot went straight to the point.

Lagar and Nail on the side both looked serious.

As the Grand Elder's children, they naturally felt it.

Only young Piccolo was still unaware, just watching silently.

"Everyone has their own destiny. I don't have much lifespan left. It's good to be able to shine a little light in my final moments to guide future generations." Talot couldn't compare to the Grand Elder's state of mind.

Talot nodded, as if agreeing with the Grand Elder, and then took out two Spirit Tree Fruits from his personal space.

Of these things, only three were left since he first obtained them.

Talot had been keeping them for a rainy day, and he suddenly thought of the Grand Elder, so he decided to give them to him.

It was a thank you for his past help, and so that he could live longer.

The Grand Elder was extremely shocked by the Spirit Tree Fruit.

Although he was not a god, his realm was extremely high, and he could feel the incredibly rich life force contained in the fruit.

He wanted to refuse, but Talot forcibly gave it to him.

Finally, under the gaze of several people, the Grand Elder ate the Spirit Tree Fruit. With the blessing of the powerful life force, he not only became much younger, but also returned to the state he was in decades ago.

Even if decades were nothing to a Namekian, it was still decades.

...

Not long after.

Outside the Great Round House.

The Grand Elder walked outside with his own strength, breathing in the fresh air.

This was originally a luxury for him, but he never thought that he would have this day where he could walk out on his own strength.

He thanked Talot, but there was no need to say more thank yous at this time, it would only seem deliberate.

Lagar and Nail were overjoyed at the Grand Elder's recovery, their faces full of joy.

The Grand Elder was the root of all Namekians. Now that his death had been delayed and he had regained a little youth, Talot had once again become a great benefactor of their clan.

As for Lagar and Nail's gratitude, Talot indicated that they didn't need to care so much, it was just a small effort.

In fact, if his ability wasn't limited, he really wanted to help the Grand Elder become hundreds of years younger.

"Speaking of which, the changes on Namek Planet these years are really not small. The last time I came, this land was still very barren, and I couldn't see many plants and animals." Changing the subject, Talot said.

Everyone had a lot of experiences over the years.

Time really can change everything.

"Yes, thanks to you. If it weren't for your help, and the fact that you brought a lot of plants and crops back then, Namek would not have been able to recover so quickly." Lagar stood next to Talot, looking out over the land with Talot.

The scene was very harmonious, recalling the first time they met, it had been so long.

"Although it may sound abrupt and presumptuous, can I ask you to fight me again? Talot." Suddenly, Lagar opened his mouth to invite him to fight.

As soon as these words came out, Talot was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect Lagar to take the initiative to challenge him.

Without much hesitation, the corners of Talot's mouth rose slightly, revealing a look of anticipation: "Okay, but this doesn't seem like you, Lagar. Your personality used to be to do whatever you wanted. Are you afraid I won't accept?"

This kind of teasing made Lagar blush. Just as he was about to retort, Nail stepped forward.

"Brother Lagar, let me go first. I've always wanted to, really wanted to, fight with Brother Talot." Nail's sincere words earned him an appreciative look from Talot.

Although Nail wasn't as mature as he appeared in the original story, he was still in his youth and even stronger.

If he wanted to fight, Talot wouldn't refuse to give him a beating.

It was a good opportunity to guide a junior.

Lagar was very proud of Nail's courage and said to Talot, "Although Nail is still young, his strength is much greater than ours back then."

He said this because he was afraid Talot wouldn't accept.

"Then come on, it's a good opportunity to see how much your strength has grown over the years. I haven't been this excited in a long time," Talot said with a smile.

Having reached a consensus, the three of them smiled at each other.

This scene was witnessed by the Grand Elder and young Piccolo not far away.

The Grand Elder smiled with relief, while young Piccolo tried his best to remain calm. He still had many things he didn't understand.

"There's a good show to watch next. As a combat-type Namekian, you have a long way to go," the Grand Elder said to young Piccolo beside him.

Young Piccolo nodded silently upon hearing this.

...

They arrived at an open flat area half a mile away from the Grand Elder's Great Round House.

Talot and Nail stood facing each other.

Lagar naturally acted as a guard, protecting the Grand Elder's side, watching the upcoming duel.

For him, Nail and Talot fighting first was also a good opportunity for him to absorb experience. He hadn't fought Talot in many years, making him unfamiliar with Talot's fighting style.

"Come on, Nail, show me everything you've got," Talot said with a smile.

Nail nodded without saying a word.

A gleam flashed in his eyes as he continuously gathered his own ki.

Facing Talot, Nail didn't dare to hide anything.

"Haaah!!!" With a roar, Nail's powerful aura erupted completely, sweeping in all directions like a storm.

The pale white aura centered on Nail and rushed straight into the sky.

'Rumble~~~!!!!' The surrounding area for dozens of miles shook because of Nail's unleashed power.

The air pressure changed, and storms raged as Nail's Battle Power index rapidly increased.

Talot had already put on his Virtual Glasses and saw Nail's Battle Power index.

A full 5 million points.

Nail's aura reached its peak before rapidly retracting, and his entire being underwent a qualitative change.

"That's really surprising. I didn't expect your Battle Power to exceed 5 million points in just a few short years," Talot said with a look of surprise.

Compared to Nail's Battle Power of 42,000 in the original story, the current Nail was more than a hundred times stronger! "Where? My level of strength is insignificant compared to you," Nail said, knowing how powerful Talot was. He wouldn't dare to say how strong he was now.

"Don't underestimate yourself. At least ordinary people can't do what you do," Talot praised, but then his expression changed.

He hooked his index finger at Nail, signaling that Nail could attack.

"Then I'm coming, Brother Talot!" With another shout, Nail took the lead, turning into a cannonball and rushing towards Talot with lightning speed.

His right hand clenched, and a Super Heavy Punch, heavy as a thousand pounds, slammed towards Talot's face.

'Bang!!!!'

An incredibly shocking tremor reverberated through the space, and bursts of wind swept out, impacting all directions.

Nail's Super Heavy Punch, which had gathered all his strength, was easily blocked by Talot's right index finger, which also neutralized all the power.

Lagar, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, revealed a solemn expression.

Nail's all-out attack, even he would have to use one hand to block it, but Talot could neutralize it with just one finger, and so easily.

Unimaginable, just what level has Talot's strength reached?

 Not just him, even the Grand Elder found it unbelievable; Talot was indeed ridiculously strong.

 The young Piccolo was already dumbfounded.

 ...

 "The momentum is good, but your control over power is still a bit lacking. If you could compress all your power and concentrate it on one point, then your attack power would increase another level," Talot said slowly after sensing Nail's attack.

 Hearing this, Nail kept Talot's words in mind.

 "I'm grateful for the lesson, Brother Talot, so next... I'll continue!!" With that, Nail launched another attack.

 This time, his offensive was even more fierce and terrifying.

 Bang! Boom! Bang! Boom!... Nail's attacks erupted like a rain of pear blossoms, the powerful offensive was continuous. After receiving Talot's guidance, he compressed all the power in his body as much as possible, using it for a moment of explosive force.

 The destructive power of the attack did indeed increase, and the explosive force was much stronger than before.

 As expected of a natural combat-type Namekian, his combat talent was extraordinary, not inferior to the Saiyans at all.

 However, this level of power was far from enough to shake him.

 Talot's normal state Battle Power was as high as hundreds of millions.

 Compared to Nail, whose strength was only 5 million, he was 100 times stronger.

 With such a huge difference in strength, even if Talot used one finger to deal with Nail, the invisible aura emanating from his whole body could easily defend against all of Nail's attacks.

 The battle intensified, the destructive power contained in Nail's fierce fists became more and more terrifying, but he still couldn't escape being easily resolved by Talot's index finger.

 Close combat was not working, Nail quickly adjusted, changed his battle strategy, mobilized the energy in his body to envelop his fist invisibly, and a heavy punch with infinite destructive power was launched powerfully.

 Rumble~~!! The moment the heavy punch carrying boundless energy hit Talot's index finger.

 A violent energy explosion occurred, and the shock wave generated stirred up sand waves hundreds of meters high.

 The power of this explosion was indiscriminate, and Nail's attack even backfired on himself.

 Talot was also caught off guard by this sudden explosion and was knocked back dozens of meters by the aftermath of the explosion.

 "It worked!" Seeing that his attack could shake Talot, Nail was overjoyed.

 He endured the pain in his body, stood up and burst out his aura again, rushing straight towards Talot.

 "That kind of self-destructive attack can indeed have unexpected effects when dealing with opponents who are slightly stronger than yourself, but it is far from enough to use it against me." Talot stood firm, his eyes locked on Nail rushing towards him, and he pushed his right index finger forward.

 At this time, Nail had already rushed in front of Talot.

 His fist contained even more amazing powerful energy than before, and an unstoppable heavy blow was launched powerfully.

 Boom!!!!!!! The power of this explosion was obviously even greater, and even the space made a sonic boom.

 But what was unexpected was that Talot, who had withstood this explosive attack head-on, was not blown away. Instead, Nail was blown away hundreds of meters away.

 "Nail, your combat experience is too little. How can the same attack have a secondary effect on this level of opponent?" Lagar, who was watching the battle from outside the battlefield, said to himself with a serious expression.

 As the strongest combat-type Namekian at present, his insight far exceeded that of strong people of the same level, and he saw the problem at a glance.

 The moment Nail's fist touched the tip of Talot's index finger, the impact force generated by the energy explosion was reflected back by Talot.

 It was equivalent to Nail's attack not only failing to work on Talot, but all the power was reflected back on himself.

 On the side, the young Piccolo stared blankly at the battle in front of him.

 From the beginning of the battle until now, he couldn't even see what was happening.

 But one thing he was sure of was that a powerful existence like Nail was easily played with by Talot with one finger.

 The Grand Elder looked at the young Piccolo, then at Lagar, and then looked at Nail in the battle again.

 It was expected that Nail would be easily suppressed and defeated by Talot.

 After all, Talot's strength was so great back then that it was far from what Nail could deal with now.

 However, even if Nail was defeated, this battle was a huge opportunity for Nail.

 Not just any Tom, Dick or Harry is qualified to fight Talot.

After this battle, Nail will inevitably have some insights, and he will be able to go further in the future.

In fact, the reason why Lagar and Nail have been able to reach where they are today is all due to Talot's stimulation.

Although he, the Grand Elder, has helped them, he has seen the efforts Lagar and Nail have put in.

...

Nail, who had been blown away, stood firm, trembling, with a blank expression.

"All of my attack power was reflected back, what kind of trick is this..." Coming back to his senses, Nail was extremely shocked, and after careful consideration, he seemed to understand what was going on.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Talot contained a bit more awe. This one move of complete reflection alone was enough for him to study for a while.

"Haah!!" Quickly adjusting his state, Nail burst out with a loud shout, white aura gushing out from his body, and his momentum increased instead of decreasing.

Energy gathered in his hands, and as Nail's hands quickly pushed forward, powerful energy surged out from his palms like a torrent, heading straight for Talot.

Looking at the violent energy rushing towards him, Talot did not dodge, and pointed his right index finger forward again.

In the next second, the energy around him transformed into a substantial, sharp ray of light, piercing forward.
