"Krillin." Son Goku turned his head to ask Krillin, his brows slightly furrowed, "You said that Saiyan named Soro released a skill called the Flash Technique?"
"That is what he said." Krillin nodded gently, arms crossed over his chest, "And he can even fire it in rapid succession..."
"That's truly amazing!" Son Goku sighed with emotion, a trace of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"However, we still don't know if he is a friend or a foe." Krillin sighed softly again, not daring to look toward the direction of that white light in the distance.
"He should be a friend." Son Gohan guessed, tilting his head in thought, "After all, he was fighting those two Saiyans!"
"His energy doesn't seem evil." Son Goku smiled slightly, his gaze softening, "Perhaps he is a good person."
He rubbed his fists together, a dry smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"I really thought I was going to have a good fight with them!"
"Shall we go over and take a look?" Krillin turned to look at the blinding white light in the distance, squinting his eyes.
At that first glance, Krillin immediately pulled his head back and raised a hand to shield his eyes.
It was too blinding!
Tears welled up in his eyes once more.
"Let's go." Piccolo made a prompt decision and immediately took to the air, his feet leaving the ground, "We have to know the outcome of the battle!"
Krillin and Son Gohan exchanged a glance and followed him into the sky.
Son Goku was the last to ascend, and the four of them flew toward the area shrouded in white light.
Vegeta pushed his speed to the absolute limit, the sound of wind whistling in his ears.
He felt that he had finally shaken off Soro.
Only then did Vegeta gradually slow his pace and slowly open his eyes.
His eyelids lifted bit by bit.
But the moment he opened them, Vegeta was blinded by the white light once again.
The white light was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into his pupils.
"Ah..."
Vegeta let out a startled cry, his body stiffening violently as if struck by lightning.
He hurriedly squeezed his eyes shut, his body swaying in mid-air.
What is going on?
Why is this guy still following me?
I clearly pushed my speed to the limit!
By all logic, I should have shaken him off!
Why is he still able to keep up?
"You can't run, Vegeta!"
Soro's voice rang out right by Vegeta's ear, so close it was less than a meter behind him.
Vegeta's face turned deathly pale, his lips trembling.
He shook with rage, his fists clenching until they cracked.
"Say it." Soro said with a smile, his voice laced with a hint of mockery, "Say you are trash and that you will never come to Earth again, and I might consider letting you go!"
"You, you, you..." Vegeta was exasperated, his expression growing increasingly ugly as the veins on his forehead bulged.
"Don't want to say it?" Soro smiled even more brightly, his tone light and airy, "Then let's continue!"
He paused, then slowly spat out five words.
"Continuous Flash Technique!"
Waves of white light surged forth one after another, drowning Vegeta like a rising tide.
"If you have the guts, stop using such shameless tricks!" Vegeta roared, his voice filled with irrepressible fury.
"Didn't you say I was running out of energy?" Soro watched Vegeta with interest, tilting his head, "That once my energy was exhausted, I wouldn't be able to release the Flash Technique?"
Vegeta fell silent, his mouth twitching as he gritted his teeth.
"Let me tell you a secret." Soro grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth, "I can keep using this move forever; it doesn't consume any energy at all."
Vegeta: "..."
Vegeta's mouth twitched violently, and he felt as if the sky had collapsed.
He can keep using this move forever?
Then how is anyone supposed to fight him?
I can't see, and I can't run...
Vegeta felt that coming to Earth this time was a massive miscalculation.
His guts were twisted with regret.
"Do you dare to put away that disgusting trick of yours?" Vegeta asked through gritted teeth, his voice squeezed out from between his molars, "Fight me properly."
"Not a chance!" Soro shook his head with a smile, arms crossed over his chest.
Put away the Flash Technique?
That was out of the question!
Why would he put away such a useful skill?
Soro just happened to want to use Vegeta as a lab rat to test it out.
He wanted to see if continuously releasing the Flash Technique could make him go completely blind.
Vegeta fell silent, his chest heaving violently as he felt an unbearable sense of frustration and rage once again.
"Do you think you can run away?" Soro's voice continued, carrying a hint of amusement, "Your speed doesn't seem to be as fast as mine."
"D-d-d..."
Vegeta was so angry that tears actually fell; his body shook even more violently, trembling like a sieve.
Two lines of hot tears slid from his tightly shut eyes, streaming down his cheeks.
However, the next moment, Vegeta flew into a towering rage, lunging toward Soro with his arms flailing.
He swung his fists wildly and kicked his legs through the air.
But because he couldn't see, Vegeta lunged at nothing, his body brushing right past Soro.
"Bang!"
Soro performed an overhead bicycle kick, his body flipping in mid-air as his heel slammed heavily into Vegeta's head.
"Awoo..."
Vegeta let out a miserable shriek that echoed across the empty sky.
His body plummeted from the air like a stone.
"Boom!"
With a deafening crash, Vegeta slammed headfirst into the ground below.
The earth exploded into a deep crater, dust filled the air, and debris scattered in all directions.
Vegeta lay at the bottom of the pit, covered in dirt and rubble.
"Ah... ah... ah..."
At this moment, Vegeta felt as if his entire body had fallen apart.
Every bone ached, and every muscle was twitching.
At the same time, Vegeta was deeply shocked.
This guy's combat power is clearly only 1000, so why is he able to inflict such heavy injuries on me?
Could his combat power have already surpassed mine?
Impossible, he is just a low-class warrior!
I, Vegeta, am a super genius warrior!
How could I be surpassed by a low-class warrior?
So... was he just toying with me by using the Flash Technique the whole time?
He clearly had the ability to beat me...
Thinking of this, Vegeta felt even more heartbroken.
His heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
Two lines of hot tears flowed from the corners of Vegeta's eyes, mixing with the dirt and leaving two tracks on his face.
Vegeta cried.
He was beaten to the point of tears by Soro.
Mostly, this battle was just too humiliating.
"Pathetic." Soro landed beside Vegeta, looking disappointed as he shook his head, "That wasn't fun at all."
"Y-y-you... what did you say?" Vegeta gritted his teeth and climbed up from the ground, his body swaying unsteadily.
He reached out his hands, fumbling blindly in front of him.
Then, Vegeta slowly opened his eyes, his eyelids trembling as he pried them open a crack.
"Flash Technique!"
Soro released the Flash Technique once again, and the white light bloomed instantly.
"Ah..." Vegeta let out a scream, hurriedly closing his eyes and leaning backward.
"Continuous Flash Technique!"
Soro had a sudden inspiration; he moved close to Vegeta, brought his body right in front of him, and activated the Continuous Flash Technique, the white light flashing frantically before Vegeta's eyes.
