Boom!
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Explosions far exceeding the speed of sound echoed through the sky.
Vegeta's figure flickered like lightning, moving at extreme speed. Yet instead of attacking, he circled constantly, searching for the perfect moment to strike.
As for Gu Xuan—
He simply didn't care.
---
"Vegeta, if this is your approach, then I'm afraid I have to tell you…"
Gu Xuan smiled faintly.
"This kind of fighting won't work on me."
To him, Vegeta's behavior was almost laughable.
He might lack real combat experience, but that didn't make him a fool.
And it was obvious—Vegeta was relying on experience, treating him like one.
Unfortunately…
In Gu Xuan's eyes, Vegeta's proud speed was painfully slow.
Like a child at play.
---
"Is that so?"
Vegeta sneered.
Bang!
In an instant, he stopped mid-motion and struck.
His right fist shot forward, carrying all his strength.
Though the weakest among the three, Vegeta still unleashed everything he had. After all, he was the former Prince of Saiyans—there was no way he would hesitate because of an opponent's strength.
---
"Swish!"
He closed the distance instantly.
His punch tore through the air, creating a sharp sonic boom as it approached Gu Xuan.
---
But to Gu Xuan—
It meant nothing.
---
Just as the blow was about to land, Gu Xuan shifted slightly.
A simple movement.
Effortless.
The punch missed completely.
---
Vegeta didn't hesitate.
He retracted his arm and immediately followed up, driving his elbow forward with force.
Bang!
Gu Xuan smiled.
He raised a single finger.
And blocked it.
---
Boom!
A loud impact rang out.
Vegeta's elbow was completely stopped—by one finger.
No damage.
No movement.
Gu Xuan stood there calmly, as if nothing had happened.
---
Vegeta's expression changed.
A terrifying force surged from that single point of contact, numbing his entire arm.
That one finger—
Contained overwhelming power.
---
"Is that all?"
Gu Xuan asked calmly.
If this was all Vegeta had, then it was… disappointing.
---
"Of course not."
Vegeta's voice hardened.
"But if you want to see my true strength, then show me yours first!"
He refused to back down, even in the face of such an obvious gap.
"If I go all out now… you won't stand a chance!"
---
Gu Xuan shook his head slightly.
"You're still quite confident."
He paused, then added:
"Fine. I'll give you the chance."
---
"Then watch carefully!"
Vegeta's eyes sharpened.
"The reason Saiyans are known as a warrior race!"
---
He lowered his stance, clenched his fists—
"AAAH!"
A deep roar burst from his throat.
---
In an instant—
A violent storm of energy erupted from his body.
The ocean below churned wildly, massive waves rising as his power surged outward.
His aura intensified rapidly, becoming increasingly violent.
---
"Vegeta…"
Goku watched from the side and shook his head.
"He's transforming already… that was fast."
He glanced at Gu Xuan, only to find him completely indifferent.
"…Even so, it won't be enough."
Goku murmured quietly.
He knew it.
Even as a Super Saiyan—
Vegeta still wouldn't be Gu Xuan's match.
---
"Transforming into a Super Saiyan?"
Gu Xuan chuckled softly.
"If that's your answer, then let me tell you this—"
"In the face of absolute power, techniques like that mean nothing."
"Even Super Saiyan… or Super Saiyan 2."
"It won't change the outcome."
---
"AAAH!!"
Vegeta's roar grew louder.
His energy reached its peak—
And then—
---
BOOM!
A golden aura exploded outward.
His power surged violently, multiplying in an instant.
Golden hair.
Golden eyebrows.
Golden energy.
Everything turned gold.
---
The legendary transformation—
Super Saiyan.
---
"See this?!"
Vegeta stood tall, his voice filled with pride.
"This is a Super Saiyan! My power is fifty times greater than before!"
He smirked confidently.
"There's no way you can match this!"
---
Even so…
Despite the transformation—
He still felt that overwhelming pressure from Gu Xuan.
But now, at least—
He believed he could fight.
---
"…So this is your trump card."
Gu Xuan nodded slightly.
"Not bad."
Compared to before, Vegeta now gave him a little motivation.
---
But only a little.
---
"With my base power already at 100 billion…"
Gu Xuan thought calmly.
"How could I care about your 10 billion?"
