Whoosh...!
A sharp, piercing sound tore through the air and, for a moment, it seemed as if time itself had frozen.
The hot-tempered Caulifla had already acted.
For someone as decisive and aggressive as her, taking the initiative came naturally.
In an instant, her graceful figure vanished like a phantom, disappearing without a trace.
The next second, her body began flashing repeatedly throughout Son Goku's field of vision like lightning itself, making it impossible to pinpoint her exact location.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment, Caulifla was like a raging storm; her speed was unbelievable.
Wind swirled beneath her feet, and every movement left behind a string of afterimages, as though she had transformed into a streak of radiant light flowing through the air.
As she continued to accelerate, the surrounding air seemed unable to withstand the immense pressure, crying out shrilly.
After her high-speed charge and frantic buildup of power, a dazzling sphere of light suddenly appeared in her hand.
Caulifla then abruptly raised both hands high above her head, arching her body backward into an exaggerated stance.
This unique posture clearly allowed her to draw maximum power from her entire body and concentrate it into a single point, unleashing an unparalleled destructive force.
"Ah-ha!"
Locking onto Son Goku's head, she clasped her hands together like a giant hammer and smashed them down.
At the same time, the brilliant energy sphere that she had condensed in her palms burst forth like a wild horse breaking free of its reins.
In that instant, it shot out from her slender hands.
Blinding light exploded outwards as though it would illuminate the entire hillside.
Simultaneously, Caulifla lunged straight towards Son Goku without hesitating for a moment. Each of her attacks was accompanied by fierce winds, her movements savage and unbelievably fast.
Combining close-range combat and long-range attacks to perfection, it was as if an airtight net had completely enveloped Son Goku.
Caulifla's overwhelming aura also reached its peak in that instant.
Yet, despite such a ferocious offensive, Son Goku stood calmly in place.
His already sharp eyes widened slightly. As the devastating strike descended, he swiftly raised an arm and firmly blocked it above his head with his palm.
Bang!
A deafening explosion rang out and the seemingly unstoppable, hammer-like blow had been forcibly blocked by Son Goku.
However, although he had successfully defended himself against the attack, the tremendous impact still forced his body to sink several inches downwards.
Then...
Boom!
Another explosion erupted.
The energy sphere that Caulifla had launched earlier struck Son Goku head-on.
Flames soared into the sky as smoke and dust filled the air.
At this moment, Son Goku's situation was far worse than just being pushed downwards. His body sank deep into the ground, and he was forced several steps backward uncontrollably.
Despite being in such a dangerous situation, however, not the slightest trace of fear appeared on Son Goku's face.
Instead, an unmistakable excitement surfaced.
He muttered,
"Wow, Caulifla, I've gotta say... you're definitely much stronger now than before!"
Not only was he unfazed by her overwhelming aura, but he also smiled and gave her a thumbs-up as he praised her.
"Hey, Caulifla, you're seriously amazing!"
However, despite Son Goku's carefree and nonchalant expression, Caulifla did not sense any sincerity in his praise.
In fact, from his tone, she vaguely sensed a subtle trace of mockery.
"Hmph, tsk! Stop talking nonsense! Let me tell you something, I've still got stronger moves waiting for you!"
Caulifla glared fiercely at Son Goku, deciding to stop wasting words.
Then, in the next moment, a shocking scene unfolded... Caulifla suddenly put her hands up in front of her chest, and at the same time, her agile body shot forward across the ground like an arrow released from a bow.
Her speed increased steadily, like a violent gale sweeping across the battlefield.
In the blink of an eye, she had closed in on Son Goku like a bolt of lightning.
Bang!
The sound of flesh colliding with flesh exploded through the air.
At some point, Caulifla had unleashed a flying kick, sweeping Son Goku away with a single strike.
His body staggered unsteadily through the air as her offense became increasingly ferocious.
The next second, she appeared in his field of vision once again.
Only now, she looked different.
Lightning crackled all around her, and her hair had grown fuller and sharper.
Looking at her surging golden aura, Son Goku immediately understood:
Caulifla had broken through.
"Whoa, it's actually Super Saiyan 2," Son Goku said in surprise.
Caulifla ignored him completely, throwing another punch at him immediately.
"Tch! If you don't start using your real strength, I'll turn you into a punching bag!" Caulifla threatened.
Son Goku scratched his head awkwardly. Caulifla was right.
From the very beginning until now, he had only been testing her strength.
"Ahaha, so you noticed," Son Goku laughed. "Well then, I guess I'll transform a little more too."
As soon as he had finished speaking, lightning suddenly enveloped his body.
Just like Caulifla, he transformed into Super Saiyan 2.
Caulifla smiled as she muttered, "Hmph, now that's more like it. You finally transformed into Super Saiyan 2 too."
Caulifla then assumed a fighting stance, preparing to attack Son Goku again.
However, in the very next second, she froze in place.
A crimson light suddenly burst forth from Son Goku's body.
That red aura completely enveloped him.
As the aura faded, an entirely different Son Goku appeared before Caulifla, his body covered in bulging muscles.
Caulifla stood there in stunned silence, her eyes filled with confusion.
She had never seen this transformation before.
And in her understanding, shouldn't Super Saiyan 3 come after Super Saiyan 2?
Then what kind of transformation was this?
"Come on," Son Goku said to Caulifla, "you should transform into a Super Saiyan God too!"
