"How is it? This is my full power."
"You should feel honored. No one has ever made me fight with the full extent of my terrifying power."
"You're the first—and the last."
Cooler revealed his full power and looked smug as he spoke.
He wanted to see fear and despair in Son Gohan's eyes.
But Cooler had miscalculated. His opponent's expression remained completely blank.
"So what? This power is far too weak."
Son Gohan spoke with an icy expression.
He wanted his opponent to bring out his true strength and fight him.
He wanted to see if the system would drop an even larger Battle Power attribute.
"Arrogant! You're far too arrogant!"
"You brat! I'll tear you to pieces!"
Cooler gritted his teeth, never imagining he would be looked down on.
Furious, he charged at Son Gohan and threw a left hook.
But things didn't go as he'd imagined. He didn't send the kid flying.
Son Gohan's body slowly vanished.
Cooler threw an elbow behind him.
Bang!
The two clashed once more.
The ground couldn't withstand their power and shattered at once.
They immediately grappled, trading punches and kicks in a fierce deadlock.
The air boomed repeatedly.
Every clash sent waves of energy surging outward.
[ Ding! 1,000,000 Battle Power dropped ahead! ] [ Ding! Battle Power drop +1,000,000. ]
The system's alerts sounded nonstop in Son Gohan's mind.
It seemed that a Battle Power attribute drop of one million was the limit.
"Light Eye!"
Two beams suddenly shot from Son Gohan's eyes.
"Ah!"
Cooler was blasted away before he could react.
The pain made him cry out.
"Damn it!"
Cooler gritted his teeth, never imagining the kid would catch him off guard.
Luckily, his armor had blocked some of the energy attack.
Was this really just a little kid?
His Battle Power was immense, his movements nimble, and his combat experience was astonishing.
"Holy crap!"
"That was a great move. Nobody saw it coming!"
"I had no idea Gohan was this strong!"
Tien Shinhan and the others finally relaxed, cheering happily.
They'd just seen Future Trunks turn Super Saiyan and still fail to beat this alien.
They'd been secretly worried about whether Son Gohan was strong enough to defeat him.
It seemed they'd underestimated Gohan after all.
"Gohan, way to go!"
Piccolo watched the battle, his eyes lighting up with pride.
Gohan had actually learned his Light Eye technique.
And his Battle Power was so incredible, too.
"Heh heh heh, Piccolo, thanks."
"Having a teacher like you really is a blessing for Gohan."
Son Goku sincerely thanked Piccolo.
His son was so strong now, and Piccolo had played no small part in that.
"Son Goku, save it. I'll defeat you one day!"
Piccolo yelled at Son Goku.
That guy was just so annoying.
One day, he'd grind that bastard into the dirt.
Seeing how well Son Gohan was doing actually made Piccolo very proud.
Vegeta clenched his teeth. I have to train hard.
I need to become a Super Saiyan as soon as possible.
That glory should have been mine.
It was infuriating to be stuck watching someone else fight from the sidelines.
"It's not over yet."
After blasting Cooler away, Son Gohan formed Frieza's technique, the Cutting Disc, in his hand.
He launched five Cutting Discs in quick succession.
The Cutting Disc was similar to Krillin's Destructo Disc technique.
It formed a disc-shaped attack in the palm, which could be thrown to slice through its target. It could also change direction at will and home in on its target.
"What?"
When Cooler saw the attack, he turned and ran.
He knew its power all too well.
It was his younger brother Frieza's signature move. He never expected this Saiyan to use it, too.
If it hit him, it would surely slice his body into countless pieces.
He quickly flew out of range.
Son Gohan kept controlling the five Cutting Discs, sending them after Cooler.
"That's incredible! I never knew you could use this move that way."
Krillin mistook it for his own technique, the Destructo Disc.
So the Destructo Disc could be used like Yamcha's Super Ki Blast, too.
It was as if a light had suddenly gone on for him, giving him a flash of inspiration.
Once this crisis was over, he'd have to try it himself.
"This move won't work on me."
Cooler also used the Cutting Disc, and the two attacks immediately canceled each other out.
He'd simply had no chance to use the technique before.
Now that he'd put some distance between them, he could use the same move.
"Is that so?"
Son Gohan's voice suddenly came from behind Cooler.
Cold sweat streamed down Cooler's forehead.
This kid really did appear and disappear like a ghost.
Cooler spun around and gathered a gigantic Energy Wave in his hand, firing it at Son Gohan.
Boom!
Son Gohan was instantly swallowed by the energy blast.
"Hahaha! You're dead now!"
Cooler was overjoyed at the sight.
That brat had to have been blown to bits this time.
"This guy laughs like an idiot."
"Yeah, he doesn't even know where his opponent is."
"Can you blame them? Aliens don't know how to sense the movement of ki."
"They can only judge where their enemies are by sight and instinct."
The spectators below all knew Son Gohan had left the attack's range at the very last moment.
Yet Cooler was still gloating, thinking he'd blasted Super Saiyan Son Gohan to pieces.
"You came to Earth for revenge without even knowing how strong your opponent was."
"I have to admire your nerve."
Seeing Cooler laugh like an idiot, Son Gohan couldn't help but mock him.
"Damn it!"
"The Frost Demon Clan is the strongest race in the universe!"
"I'll kill every last one of you!"
"Is running away all you Saiyans can do?"
Hearing Son Gohan's words, Cooler roared in fury.
He whipped around and saw his opponent had appeared behind him.
"Run? You think far too highly of yourself."
"Now I'll show you the difference between us."
Son Gohan spoke with disdain.
His aura continued to rise.
He'd already found out that the largest Battle Power attribute drop from the system was one million.
It was time to show his true skill.
"W-what?"
"Gohan's power really is unfathomable!"
Krillin sensed Son Gohan's aura rising without pause.
He couldn't help swallowing hard.
"You brat, you're too arrogant!"
Cooler charged furiously at Son Gohan.
He wanted to snap his opponent's neck.
That little bastard was far too full of himself.
Thud!
Cooler had arrived quickly, but he was sent flying even faster.
Son Gohan had kicked him away with a single blow.
