"Oh my, Bulma, I never expected you to start using your brain." Luo Tian said with a smile.
"But... if it's too dangerous, then forget it... I don't want you to die because of this." Bulma said, "However, if Goku is killed by him, the entire Earth will face a crisis, won't it?"
"Fine, then I'll make the trip." Luo Tian nodded.
"Snap!"
Luo Tian retracted his staff.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, Luo Tian transformed into a beam of light as brilliant as a diamond, appearing at the scene of the battle.
"Hey, Vegeta, that's enough." Luo Tian called out to Vegeta.
Vegeta was stunned, looking down at Luo Tian.
"Who are you?" Vegeta asked, gripping Son Goku tightly with both hands while staring at Luo Tian.
"I am the healer you are looking for; have you already forgotten me?" Luo Tian smiled slightly, "When you were three years old, you even challenged me, and ended up getting a beating for it."
Vegeta froze.
Three years old?
Huh? Why does this person look so familiar?
White hair!
Silver-white hair!
This unique hair color seems to be exactly that of Luo Tian from our Planet Vegeta.
That Captain of the Guard!
Right, I remember he was the Captain of the Guard; he held a very high position back on Planet Vegeta.
But, wasn't Planet Vegeta destroyed? This guy is actually still alive.
"Are you that Captain of the Guard, Luo Tian?" Vegeta asked.
"Mm-hmm, you finally remembered." Luo Tian smiled.
Son Goku looked completely bewildered.
What does that mean?
What is a Captain of the Guard?
Why do I get the feeling that Luo Tian and Vegeta know each other?
What on earth is going on here?
"I'm not seeing things, am I? You really are the Captain of the Guard, Luo Tian?" Vegeta was astonished, his scarlet eyes widening, "You're still alive? Does that mean you came to Earth a long time ago?"
"Mm-hmm." Luo Tian nodded, "You could put it that way."
"How rare. I didn't expect that besides this guy Kakarot, there would be another living Saiyan on Earth." Vegeta chuckled softly.
"Let Goku go first." Luo Tian urged.
"What? Luo Tian, did you come here just to plead for this guy?" Vegeta snorted, and instead of letting Son Goku go, he squeezed even harder.
"Ah..."
Son Goku let out a miserable cry.
"Right, I heard them say there's someone named Luo Tian who can heal; it wouldn't be you, would it?" Vegeta looked at Luo Tian with a smirk.
"It is me, you're right." As Luo Tian spoke, a staff suddenly appeared in his hand.
Bulma's house.
Bulma was completely bewildered.
Where is he?
Luo Tian, where are you?
Where did you run off to?
Why can't I find you anymore?
And why did this projection disappear?
"What?" Vegeta couldn't help but be stunned after seeing the staff in Luo Tian's hand.
What is that thing?
Why have I never seen it before?
"Actually, what I want to tell you is that the destruction of Planet Vegeta wasn't caused by a meteor impact, but was personally wiped out by Frieza." Luo Tian sighed, "Such important news, and you see, I haven't told anyone else; I specifically told you."
Vegeta frowned.
"Lay down your butcher's knife and you will find salvation; turn back before it's too late, Vegeta." Luo Tian said.
Vegeta: "..."
What kind of talk is that?
Who is going to turn back to the shore with you?
"You say... it was Frieza who destroyed Planet Vegeta?" Vegeta snorted and asked, "I'm just asking why he would do such a thing."
"Ever heard of a Super Saiyan? That's right, Frieza was afraid that someone among the Saiyans would transform into a Super Saiyan, which is why he destroyed Planet Vegeta," Luo Tian said. "Actually, what I want to say is that this matter also has something to do with Beerus. Do you believe me?"
"Beerus? Who is that?" Vegeta had already forgotten who Beerus was.
"Forget it, we'll talk about Beerus later," Luo Tian said with a smile. "Hurry up and release him."
"What? If you really are Captain of the Guard Luo Tian, you should know my status. As a Saiyan, you should unconditionally obey my orders," Vegeta snorted.
"You really are always so arrogant; that's not good at all," Luo Tian shook his head. "Forget it, I'd better heal Son Goku first."
"Snap!"
As Luo Tian spoke, a Healing Light Flame immediately emerged from the crystal ball on his staff.
The Healing Light Flame covered Son Goku's body.
Instantly, Son Goku's injuries began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, Son Goku's aura was also constantly growing stronger.
"What? This, this, this... this guy's energy is skyrocketing! No! You really can heal!" Vegeta was shocked, and almost without the slightest hesitation, he swept his massive tail toward where Luo Tian was standing.
"Snap!"
Luo Tian extended a single finger and easily blocked Vegeta's tail.
"What?" Vegeta was stunned.
My tail sweep was actually caught by this guy with just one finger.
Since when did the Captain of the Guard become so powerful?
I don't believe it!
"Kaioken!"
Son Goku also immediately erupted with his own powerful energy.
"Snap!"
The next moment, Son Goku broke free from Vegeta's restraint and delivered a fierce kick, slamming it heavily into Vegeta's chest.
"Pfft..."
Vegeta spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body stumbling backward until he landed hard on the ground.
"Snap!"
Luo Tian waved his hand.
Instantly, the Artificial Moon in the sky vanished into thin air.
"Whoosh!"
Vegeta's body rapidly shrank, returning to his original form.
"Luo Tian, thank you so much. You really helped me out at a critical moment," Son Goku breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling the energy surging within him, his face was filled with pleasant surprise. "I feel like my strength has improved significantly. Is this the special constitution of a Saiyan?"
"Mm-hmm," Luo Tian nodded.
Looking at Vegeta, his face had turned pale.
"Vegeta, you're finished!" Son Goku said to Vegeta.
"I won't accept this!" Vegeta shouted. "I'm going to kill you!"
As Vegeta spoke, his aura erupted once more, and he flew rapidly toward Son Goku.
"Snap!"
Vegeta unleashed a powerful punch at Son Goku.
However, Son Goku simply lifted his hand and blocked Vegeta's attack with ease.
After this rebirth, Son Goku's combat power had skyrocketed directly to 20,000.
Conversely, at this moment, Vegeta was nearly at the end of his rope; his combat power had plummeted significantly, reaching at most around a thousand.
"What? How could this happen?" Vegeta was dumbfounded.
But soon, Vegeta understood.
Immediately, Vegeta looked at Luo Tian not far away.
"What are you looking at?" Luo Tian said with a smile.
Vegeta: "..."
"I said, turn back to the shore; there is still time," Luo Tian mused, resting his chin on his hand. "I'm even wondering if I should give you a healing as well, so you two can decide the winner all over again."
"If you can fully heal my injuries, I can guarantee that even if I defeat Kakarot, I will leave this planet immediately," Vegeta's mind stirred, and he quickly said to Luo Tian, "How about it? We are both Saiyans, but since I am near death and will be reborn, the combat power I gain will definitely far exceed Kakarot's. The logic is simple: because I am a genius warrior."
"Is that so?" Luo Tian smiled slightly.
"Believe me," Vegeta said.
You had better believe me.
Once my injuries are fully healed, I will capture you and make you serve me willingly.
Yes, that's settled!
And while I'm at it, I'll wipe out every single human on Earth.
Of course, I'll give Kakarot special treatment—I'll torture him to death.
As for Vegeta's inner thoughts, Luo Tian knew them clearly.
"Goku, what do you say?" Luo Tian turned his head to look at Son Goku. "Do you want to spar with this guy again?"
"Sure, I didn't really get enough of it just now. I'm willing to fight him again," Son Goku nodded.
"However, this time, I don't want you to use the Kaioken," Luo Tian said. "Even if he beats you to the point of severe injury, do not use the Kaioken. Can you promise me that?"
"Not using the Kaioken? That's a real headache," Son Goku scratched his head, but quickly made up his mind. "Fine, then I'll just use Ultra Instinct from the very start."
"Snap!"
Luo Tian didn't waste any more words and cast the Healing Light Flame directly onto Vegeta.
Instantly, Vegeta's injuries began to recover rapidly.
"You two continue; I won't interfere here anymore. Good luck." Luo Tian smiled, transformed into a brilliant streak of light, and vanished in a flash.
Vegeta: "..."
Son Goku: "..."
The two of them looked at each other in silence.
"Kakarot, let's begin. This time, I'm going to beat you until you don't know which way is up," Vegeta sneered.
"Hoo..."
Son Goku took a deep breath and immediately dispersed the energy surrounding his body.
"Hmph, this is getting more and more interesting. So, you've been learning from that guy," Vegeta chuckled.
"That's right," Son Goku readied himself for battle.
"Let me tell you what a Captain of the Guard really is!" Vegeta huffed. "Among the Saiyans, a so-called Captain of the Guard is considered an elite warrior. Back in the day, every guard had a combat power of at least 8,000, and our Captain here supposedly had a combat power exceeding 10,000. But as time has passed, his combat power has likely increased significantly over these years."
"Is that so?" Son Goku didn't have much interest in these details.
"I suspect that guy's combat power is at least 30,000, perhaps even as high as 50,000," Vegeta began to estimate Luo Tian's strength.
Vegeta had transformed into a Great Ape, and although his combat power had increased tenfold, he hadn't had much energy left at the time.
That was why Vegeta had arrived at this particular estimate.
