Chapter 131: When I See You Clearly, There Is Nothing Around You Part 3
Here's the translation to English with character names, skill names, and location names from Dragon Ball:

As soon as he said this, Gohan tugged at his hand: "Dad, we've been on Namek for quite a few days now. We should go home first; Mom will be worried."
Hearing this, Goku finally realised it and said, "You're right. Let me talk to Chi-Chi, and then I'll find you. I still want to ask you about the Super Saiyan transformation."
Goku is just that straightforward.
But because of this, he is easy to communicate with.
Unlike others who keep things to themselves.
Like Raditz, and especially Vegeta.
Vegeta is in a very awkward position right now, wondering whether to stay or leave.
Coming to Earth again was already unexpected.
Although he was spared because of Kakarot...
He wanted to see how Raditz and Kakarot got stronger and how Talos trained?!
Naturally, now wasn't the time to speak, so Vegeta wisely stayed aside, prepared to endure even mockery if needed.
...
"Speaking of which, so much has happened over the past year. I hope everything will be peaceful from now on, so we can finally rest," Yamcha was the first to speak after the small talk ended.
This guy was already thinking about slacking off.
In his mind, after being tired for so long, it's time to relax.
If he didn't indulge himself, it would be a disservice to himself.
That's how Yamcha is; he takes things in stride.
In the original story, even though Vegeta and Bulma ended up together and had Trunks, he only harboured verbal resentment and anger.
Everyone was used to his behaviour.
"Although the big issues are resolved, I will continue to train hard! Even if my current strength is not on par with you Saiyans, one day, I'll catch up."
"For this period, thank you for taking care of me. We might not meet for a long time, but if anything happens, I will come back."
"Chiaotzu, let's go."
Tien spoke, expressing his inner dissatisfaction.
But unlike Yamcha, he would train in his way.
Tien realised that his future couldn't be reliant solely on the gravity training room, so he needed to forge his path.
The future master of Earth!
Tien already had that demeanour.
"I look forward to our next meeting, Tien, and Chiaotzu," Goku waved goodbye.
"Come to think of it, we've known each other for so many years. Tien will definitely be much stronger next time we meet, and I can't fall behind," Krillin said with determination.
Indeed, his current strength was different from Goku, Raditz, or Talos, but Krillin had persistence and would keep training.
Even if not the best, he was still the strongest Earthling.
Yamcha couldn't understand this mindset: "Compared to that, I think you should relax too, Krillin. Don't you want to find a wife? Goku already has a five-year-old son."
As soon as he said that, Krillin blushed.
Feeling embarrassed, he said, "Forget it, with my looks and height, I'm too different from you guys."
Saying this, Krillin scratched his bald head.
Goku added fuel to the fire: "You're not lacking at all, just no hair and no nose."
The lack of a nose was a lifelong pain for Krillin: "Can you not talk about that? Goku, you really know how to annoy people. It's not like I chose not to have a nose, and I can grow hair, but I just shave it off."
"Sorry, sorry, I was just joking, hahaha." Goku clearly had no ill intentions.
...
After some antics, everyone left one by one.
Krillin went back to Kame House to find his master, Master Roshi.
Since Yamcha and Bulma had long broken up, he didn't want to train and felt embarrassed to stay, so he went to his carefree world.
Piccolo also left to visit Kami and Dende at The Lookout.
Goku and Gohan, of course, went back to Mount Paozu.
In the end, only Raditz and Vegeta remained.
The two of them were clearly staying behind with a bigger purpose in mind.
Vegeta perhaps had nowhere else to go, but Raditz certainly did.
Before Lin Chuan left Earth for Planet Yardrat, Raditz had already accepted his sister-in-law and later received a roundhouse from Bulma as a gift.
So, Raditz had settled down in Mount Paozu.
"Aren't you leaving yet, Raditz? Kakarot and Gohan have already gone back," Lin Chuan smiled knowingly, asking the obvious question.
Could he not understand what Raditz was thinking?
Naturally, it was about the method to transform into a Super Saiyan.
Unlike Kakarot, Raditz had been waiting impatiently.
In the past month, he had wanted to ask but had yet to have the chance.
Because Lin Chuan wasn't on Earth.
Now that Lin Chuan was right in front of him, he didn't want to miss the opportunity again.
"Talos! I'm not like Kakarot. You know what I want to ask, so there's no need to tease me," Raditz said seriously, not caring that Vegeta was right beside him.
Vegeta's ears perked up immediately.
He wanted to know as well.
"Are you that desperate? While I can tell you the method, with your current power, you're far from achieving it," Lin Chuan squinted his eyes slightly and shifted his gaze to Vegeta.
Staring at Vegeta, he said, "You want to know too! But you both are ignoring one point. I do know the method to transform, but without sufficient power, or if your combat strength isn't up to par, even knowing the method won't let you complete the transformation."
These words directly provoked Raditz and Vegeta.
"You might say Vegeta doesn't meet the requirements, but my combat power is at least 1.5 million, if not 2 million! Isn't that enough?!" Raditz frowned and asked.
Vegeta clenched his fists upon hearing this, feeling extremely unwilling.
The gap was too huge, to an unimaginable extent.
Even though his power had significantly increased after healing from severe injuries with a Senzu Bean, Vegeta knew that his combat strength was barely over 100,000.
Raditz, who used to be his subordinate, now had combat strength over 1.5 million, while he, the Prince of Saiyans, was only at this level.
Furious in his heart, Vegeta still held back.
Lin Chuan was slightly surprised, not expecting Vegeta to have such deep scheming.
He thought of how Vegeta had endured under Frieza all these years and understood.
"When your combat strength reaches over 3 million, you might meet the requirements through training!"
"If you want to know, I can tell you right now! The requirements to become a Super Saiyan: first, you need to have sufficient strength, like a base combat strength of 3 million or more. The higher, the better.
Second, you need to activate the S-cells in our Saiyan bodies, making them multiply more and more! You can't sense them before transforming, but I can tell you that these cells get activated as we continuously train and stimulate our bloodline powers.
Third, you need extreme anger and various emotional fluctuations to make the S-cells burn intensely, concentrating on our Saiyan's spine, and finally, exploding in one breath…"
As he spoke, Lin Chuan pointed out the location to Raditz and Vegeta, then transformed into a Super Saiyan right in front of them.
It was impossible for them to reach this level in a short time, but showing them now would stimulate them to get stronger quickly.
On his future path, Lin Chuan hoped to have followers instead of walking alone.
He needed teammates to motivate him and others to get stronger to give him more drive.
He could be the pioneer, reaching new realms and then telling them to follow closely.
Raditz and Vegeta were dumbfounded.
In front of a Super Saiyan, their strength didn't matter.
Dispelling the Super Saiyan energy and returning to his normal state, Lin Chuan looked at Raditz and Vegeta. He was about to say more when he saw Raditz clenching his fists, gathering his power.
Having learned the method, this guy couldn't wait to try it.
His aura surged, constantly rising. Raditz gritted his teeth, his face contorted.
As his energy exploded, a white aura rose from his feet, spreading with intense pressure.
Lin Chuan was unaffected, but Vegeta, standing nearby, was pushed back by the force. He had to raise his hand to shield his face from the wind, preventing his eyes from closing.
Having learned how to control his power, Vegeta could clearly sense how strong Raditz had become.
"Damn it! Has he really reached this level?!" Vegeta thought fiercely.
At the same time, he was praying inwardly, hoping that Raditz would fail.
Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to catch up with him, and he might never have the chance in this lifetime.
As he watched Raditz's ki continuously surge, even seeing the snow-white aura starting to be tinged with blood, Lin Chuan couldn't help but shake his head. Raditz had misunderstood again.
This wasn't just about increasing energy.
"Stop it. Continuing like this is pointless. Your transformation won't succeed," Lin Chuan reminded him.
With these words, Raditz took a deep breath, repressed his energy back, and his aura vanished instantly, as if it never existed.
"You are right! Becoming a Super Saiyan is indeed not that easy," Raditz admitted without feeling discouraged, just sighing in contemplation.
Hearing this, Lin Chuan smiled faintly and said, "If it were that easy, Super Saiyans would be worthless by now."
After saying this, Lin Chuan thought to himself. When he initially researched the Super Saiyan transformation, his battle power had already surpassed tens of millions. It took countless attempts and breakthroughs to succeed.
If Raditz succeeded in one go, Lin Chuan would probably want to smash his head against a block of tofu.
Raditz nodded in agreement.
Knowing the method and having tried it once, Raditz had new ideas and took his leave to return to Mount Baozi.
In the end, only Vegeta was left, staring wide-eyed at Lin Chuan.
To be honest, Lin Chuan in this life didn't have much affection for Vegeta.
However, recalling memories from his past life, the future Vegeta was indeed a man worthy of respect.
Of course, that was from the original story's future, which had yet to happen.
"Do you want to know how Kakarot and Raditz got stronger?" Lin Chuan said with a meaningful smile.
"You would tell me out of kindness?" Vegeta was somewhat sceptical.
"Before that, how about recovering from severe injuries one more time?" With a plan in mind, Lin Chuan raised his hand to strike.
With only him and Vegeta left, there was no need to hold back.
Vegeta still had tremendous potential that had yet to be unleashed. If he fully released it, he wouldn't be weaker than Raditz.
