Super Saiyan

"I'm sleepy... I should have something to perk me up..."

Jiang Ling had an idea.

In his previous life, whenever he got sleepy at work, he would buy himself an energy drink.

"Huh? Didn't the system give me an energy drink before...?"

Jiang Ling's mind stirred, and a bottle of energy drink appeared in his hand.

Looking at the familiar packaging,

Jiang Ling smiled, twisted the cap open, and gulped it down.

Boom—!!

Power surged through every part of his body!

Jiang Ling immediately felt incredibly refreshed, as if he'd just had a wild time with Bulma!

Before long, it felt as though a shackle inside him had broken, and power kept pouring forth!

On the battlefield,

Vegeta was lying on the ground when he suddenly sensed something. His eyes widened.

He sprang to his feet.

"Kakarot?!"

"No!! It's that kid Jiang Ling!!"

"What happened to him... How did he suddenly become so powerful?"

Vegeta's mind was filled with disbelief.

He stared blankly in Jiang Ling's direction.

"That aura..." Gohan's eyes lit up. "It's just like Dad's aura back then. A Super Saiyan!!!"

Piccolo nodded, clearly agreeing.

The others were all astonished.

"What? Such a powerful aura... He's actually a Super Saiyan?!"

"Now we can imagine just how powerful Goku was back then!"

Jiang Ling stood where he was and slowly opened his eyes.

His pale green eyes gleamed brilliantly.

His golden hair stood on end, and even his eyebrows had turned gold!

"So this is what being a Super Saiyan is like... I didn't expect the thing the system gave me to have such a huge effect!"

Jiang Ling could feel that his base power had reached six million!

After transforming, his power was a whopping 300 million!

"Not bad!"

Jiang Ling chuckled. Then he looked down and was instantly blinded by a flash of golden light.

Just as he'd thought.

After transforming into a Super Saiyan, all the hair on his body turned gold!

Jiang Ling had confirmed something he'd always been curious about.

Bulma would probably like it.

As he thought this, Jiang Ling powered up and returned to the battlefield.

When Frieza saw the figure before him, surrounded by a golden aura, he felt as if he'd gone back to the moment he faced Goku on Namek.

"Son Goku? No..." Frieza shook his head, fear in his eyes.

"You're the second Super Saiyan!"

"Son, is this the Super Saiyan you told me about?" King Cold asked.

"Yes, Father."

Frieza began to panic.

The shadow of the Super Saiyan loomed far too large over him.

It was understandable.

He'd essentially died once at the hands of a Super Saiyan, so of course he was traumatized...

"Go on, son. Overcome your fear. I'll be right here to back you up."

King Cold encouraged him.

"Okay, Father." Hearing those words put Frieza at ease.

He immediately entered battle mode.

As expected of Frieza, he really was a genius.

Jiang Ling narrowed his eyes. Comparing their auras, he found that Frieza was far weaker than him.

Now that he was confident, his demeanor changed.

He held out a hand, curled his index finger, and beckoned.

Then he shouted, "Come at me!!"

For some reason, Frieza felt a surge of anger at those words.

He shot forward, charging straight at Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling stayed where he was, knees slightly bent. As Frieza came flying at him, he threw a punch!!

Bam!!!

It struck Frieza squarely on the chin.

His jawbone was dislocated, and his teeth flew out with a spray of blood.

His body was sent tumbling backward.

Jiang Ling rushed after him, determined to finish him while he was down!

He unleashed a flurry of moves, each one packed with tremendous power!

"Crow Flies Plane!"

"Tornado Destroys Parking Lot!"

"Eagle Claw Technique!"

"Black Tiger Steals Heart!"

"Mount Tai Crushes Down!"

"Snake Step!"

His moves flowed naturally, each one wreathed in golden energy, leaving Frieza no chance to fight back!

"Damn it!! Damn it all!!"

Frieza roared, but Jiang Ling kept him firmly pinned down.

Jiang Ling's eyes sharpened. He spotted an opening.

He fired an Energy blast at close range, punching straight through Frieza's belly.

Bam!

Frieza crashed to the ground. Jiang Ling looked down at him, his face full of mockery.

Clutching his wound, Frieza glared at Jiang Ling.

"Damn it! Looks like I'll have to use my ultimate move!!"

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Jiang Ling looked mildly interested.

Frieza burst out laughing, as if mocking Jiang Ling's overconfidence. Then he turned to King Cold and shouted, "Father, save me!!"

Jiang Ling: "..."

Vegeta: "..."

King Cold: "..."

"Hey, don't come over. Let me take care of this." Jiang Ling shook his head and held out a hand to signal King Cold to stay back.

Then he hurled Frieza into the sky.

Jiang Ling formed a Kamehameha and, with the help of his innate talent, shot Frieza right out of the air!

Rumble—

Frieza turned to ash.

A mighty tyrant had fallen right here on Earth.

His ashes could still provide nutrients for the trees.

King Cold watched it all impassively.

He made no attempt to stop them.

He believed in the survival of the fittest.

"Become my son."

King Cold looked at Jiang Ling sincerely and made his offer.

Jiang Ling gave him a strange look and refused outright. "No."

"I have a huge real-estate business across the universe. If you become my son, I'll give you a share!"

King Cold tried to coax him.

Jiang Ling still shook his head and replied politely, "Are you sick? If you want to fight, then fight. Stop running your mouth."

"Then die!!" King Cold's expression suddenly twisted with rage as he hurled an Energy blast!

Jiang Ling looked at the Energy blast, shook his head, and caught it with one hand. Then he flicked it into the sky.

With a shift of his feet, he moved in an intricate, strange pattern and appeared behind King Cold.

He threw a punch, blasting through King Cold's stomach...

"What kind of footwork is that?" King Cold asked in a daze.

"Moonwalk."

Jiang Ling replied.

He pulled his hand out of King Cold's belly, blood staining it.

Then he formed a blade of energy and cut King Cold into pieces!

One Kikoha erased every trace of him from this world.

King Cold and Frieza, father and son, disappeared from the world.

They had fallen on Earth.

A breeze swept by.

Jiang Ling faced the wind and took a deep breath.

His whole body relaxed.

His Super Saiyan form vanished in an instant.

"Jiang Ling!!! You're incredible!! I'm proud to be your agent!"

Yamcha said excitedly.

And he really was Jiang Ling's agent.

"Uncle Jiang Ling, you're amazing! I think you're way stronger than my dad!"

Gohan's eyes sparkled.

Seeing the two great threats defeated, Piccolo breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at Jiang Ling.

Tien Shinhan nodded too, then turned to leave.

He'd seen the gap in their strength. He had to train even harder!

Krillin patted his chest and said proudly, "That's my big brother! Let's drink again next time!"

In the middle of the battlefield, Jiang Ling looked at everyone, brimming with energy, and smiled happily.
