章節 38: Aura

'Although my power increased my strength tenfold, but my comparatively slow speed and size makes me a huge target. Especially for those who can absorb my lifeforce with every contact. Well, after I can turn into a Super Saiyan, I won't have much use for it. At least until I have full control over the Super Saiyan transformation.'

"So Broly how do you feel? How is your lifeforce?"

"Everything is normal, I guess. Besides my lifeforce flaring up a bit and rushing through my body, I don't feel much different. Well, I can feel myself being stronger, but it doesn't seem to burden my body. It actually feels pretty nice to be honest."

"Hahaha. Well this is a transformation part of your Saiyan heritage. It should be normal to feel comfortable. Maybe that was how your ancestors looked. Haha"

"Maybe. Let's wait for a bit. I want to transform again. I try to retain my conscious immediately."

After ten minutes Broly started to revert back into his base form. The moment he did he started panting. Apparently, the transformations aftereffects are pretty heavy. The other Saiyans said that the transformation process back to normal is very exhausting, even Broly needed to take a rest for an hour before being fully recovered again.

Thereafter he transformed hundreds of times over the course of two months. At the start his mind always went blank during and shortly after the transformation but the duration was lessening with each transformation. There were also few times where he was already exhausted but transformed anyway, resulting in him going on a rampage. Fortunately, the city lord quickly knocked him out, forcing him to revert back.

The process of transforming one's body and then trying to regain one's conscious was a very tiring experience for the body and especially for the mind. Unknowingly Broly trained his mental strength by doing something he was born with.

After training for two whole months, he managed to remain conscious even during the transformation. He could feel how his body reacted to the Blutz Waves and how it was triggered. He became increasingly aware about the hidden strength that were inside his cells, which were partly released by the Oozaru transformation. He could by now even use some of this hidden strength without the transformation. He forced the strength out by triggering the lifeforce inside in a similar way the Blutz Waves do it. But it was incredible difficult to bring out even 1 percent. He would need much more time to master it fully.

It was different from his S-cells as those were mutations and because of that he figured that he might be able to stack the effects. It would be something similar to the Golden Great Ape, but instead of transforming into a Super Saiyan while being an Oozaru, one would turn force the same hidden strength out while being a Super Saiyan. Broly believed that this would result into something different, even though the concepts were the same. Only the sequence would be different.

After the initial excitement of the prospect of mastering a strong technique and transformation for the future, he went on to Gine to relax for a few days. He figured after the crazy training he was up to for the last year, he needed some time to rest. His body didn't seem to tremendously rise in strength anymore, so he decided to take a break for a few days. He remembered something from his past life about rest days, which were said to be as important as the workouts.

Besides the Giant Ape transformation gave him reassurance that he could at least defend himself. Broly wouldn't easily find an opponent other than the CE and those didn't show up for the last year.

With that being said, he figured that he would take the time to relax and ask Gine about the general situation from their race.

As he was walking down the street, he was greeted by dozens of people smiling and waving at him. He was kind of getting used to this sight. After all he was the champion, the strongest of the former youngest generation, with his increasing visits to other races leaders and top fighters, he was getting more and more famous. His talent for battle was admired by the young warriors and there even popped up groupies. Although there were girls wanting to throw themselves at him, he wasn't affected by those. He contributed to being only 4 years old with absolutely no libido.

Broly was a bit overwhelmed with the situation at first. Being almost overrun by a bunch of strangers, can be a bit stressful. But simply by releasing his aura, they parted to make way for him.

Aura was something he learned by exchanging for a book called 'Winning without fighting'. It basically described how one could pressure the opponent by one's aura. It was different to the aura, which pressured the opponent through ki, as this would only be helpful against much weaker enemies who don't have as much ki as oneself.

The aura talked about in the book wasn't an energy-based aura, but one filled with spirit or intent. The aura pressured the opponent through the spirit, challenging the opponent's mental strength. But pressuring was just one use of it. Since it was basically intent, it was perfectly made for faints. The opponent wouldn't realize if the next incoming attack would be real or not, as a faint filled with intent wouldn't easily be able to be distinguished.

There were also methods described to attack but those were more advanced, as those Broly already learned.

As he walked through the crowd while releasing his aura, the people just felt an invisible wall pushing them back, even though they were clearly moving by themselves.

Making his way towards the headquarters, he saw a military court nearby with several recruits training. The intensity has been apparently increased since the surprise attack. Broly even saw Violet training with the other recruits.

After 20 minutes of walking he arrived at the Saiyans base. Before he could get in and ask for Gine, he saw her supervising the training of the new generation. He went up to greet her. After the time he spent in Elpis he has long surpassed Gine in height. So, from the outside it looked like two adults had a conversation with each other. Although only one was an adult and the other was a young child.

While asking about the situation of the headquarter, he was told that the higher-ups were actually pretty tense about the happenings of the CE. It concerned them as they suddenly attacked two years to early, contradicting their usual behavior and then gathered somewhere in the north. It seems they were preparing for something. In the worst case they were preparing for a full out war, so most races were prompted by the city council to increase their supplies and to train harder.
