Looking at Sun Wukong, now changed into his training gi, Lin Xuan let out a soft sigh. "Finally, something normal!"
He then turned and flew away, quickly finding a spot to take out a sofa, sit down, and start sipping tea.
In truth, however, he was focusing intently on assimilating the research results Orochimaru had recently sent him via a 'red packet' transmission.
As for Frieza, he'd leave him to Sun Wukong for now. They were destined to have this fight anyway.
Now clad in his gi, Sun Wukong began walking towards Frieza.
Seeing this, Frieza let out a cold sneer. "Where did this little insect crawl out from? Don't tell me you actually think you can stand against me?"
"I want to test my recent training results!" Sun Wukong said to Frieza, his expression serious. "You're very strong, but I'm not weak either. This is a perfect chance to see."
Frieza, however, just grew impatient. "Enough chatter. I'll kill you first, then go deal with that other bastard!"
As his words fell, a beam of light shot from his eyes.
"Boom!"
Sun Wukong swiftly dodged. The beam struck the ground, piercing straight through it.
Almost instantly, magma from deep below erupted, shooting skyward.
"Hah!"
With a shout, Frieza manipulated the magma, shaping it into a giant claw that swiftly descended upon Sun Wukong.
"Ha!"
Sun Wukong roared, his ki erupting from his body and blasting away the surrounding magma.
But in that moment, Frieza had already moved at high speed to appear behind him.
"It's over!" Frieza sneered.
His tail lashed out, striking Sun Wukong squarely on the back and sending him flying.
"Crash!"
Sun Wukong slammed into a cliff face. Cracks spiderwebbed across his Impure World Reincarnation body, but they healed almost immediately.
"You really are strong," Sun Wukong said, patting his body, only then remembering he wasn't alive and this form was just temporarily assembled. "For a second there, I thought I was going to explode!"
"Boom!"
Right then, Frieza attacked again, a ki blast hurtling towards Sun Wukong.
But Sun Wukong's reflexes were sharp. He spun around, his hands shooting out to grab the oncoming blast. With a furious shout, he deflected it away.
Simultaneously, his body shot into high-speed motion.
Soon, he was locked in fierce combat with Frieza.
However, in his current state, Sun Wukong's power still fell somewhat short against Frieza.
After a brief exchange of close-quarters blows, Sun Wukong quickly found himself at a disadvantage. Frieza's tail struck again, sending him flying once more, his body nearly cleaved in two.
"Interesting. I underestimated you. You're actually quite decent," Frieza said, eyeing Sun Wukong leisurely. "A pity your opponent is me, Frieza. Your defeat is inevitable."
Sun Wukong clenched his fists, his expression resolute. "I promised President Lin I'd hold you back. I will keep that promise!"
"Hmph. You won't get the chance. Die!"
Frieza roared, countless beams of light erupting from his hands, weaving into a giant net meant to slice Sun Wukong apart.
"Raaaaah!"
With Sun Wukong's mighty shout, a red aura erupted from his body. He activated the Triple Kaioken, rapidly boosting all his physical parameters.
"Boom!"
Sun Wukong swiftly dodged the net of death beams and charged towards Frieza at blinding speed.
"Gate of Opening, release!""Gate of Healing, release!"..."Gate of View, release!""Gate of Joy, release!"
As the words left his mouth, Sun Wukong unleashed the Eight Gates Released technique, opening it straight to the sixth gate, the Gate of Joy... In that instant, his body became shrouded in a layer of green energy. Combined with the Kaioken's boost, his speed reached a terrifying level.
Sun Wukong's figure vanished in the blink of an eye. Even Frieza found it somewhat difficult to track his movements.
Watching the live broadcast, Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, and the others couldn't help but show looks of astonishment.
"His power has increased this rapidly?" Uchiha Izuna exclaimed in amazement.
During the previous World Martial Arts Tournament, the Sun Wukong they had seen was worlds apart from the one before them now.
Even compared to his fight against Raditz, his current strength was on a completely different level!
It had even surpassed that of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, leaving the group somewhat unable to believe it.
"So this is the true might of a Saiyan? No wonder the President places such importance on them," Nagato remarked.
They had previously been puzzled by Lin Xuan's intense focus on the Saiyans, even tasking Orochimaru with specialized research. Now, they finally understood.
Saiyans were truly monstrous!
Among the crowd, Might Duy wasn't too surprised, merely sighing in admiration. "With Wukong using the Eight Gates, his power is naturally much greater."
Of everyone present, he was probably the most familiar with Sun Wukong, having stayed on Earth and trained alongside him.
No one understood Sun Wukong's talent better than he did.
At this moment, however, Might Duy voiced a new curiosity. "But what is that other technique Wukong is using? It seems somewhat similar to the Eight Gates, also temporarily boosting attack, speed, and power!"
In the air, Frieza's expression shifted slightly. His eyes darted around, trying to locate Sun Wukong's trail.
