Skill Refresh

"Don't just say he's blind." Another man shook his head and tapped a few buttons on the control panel. "When I helped him earlier, he was still trembling! His whole body was shaking like a leaf."

"Seems like he experienced something terrifying," a third person said quietly, his voice tinged with curiosity.

After more than an hour of treatment.

The treatment pod opened, and the green liquid slowly drained away.

Vegeta's eyes snapped open, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints beneath the lights.

As if he felt the white light shining down on him, his body shuddered violently. He was so startled that he immediately shut his eyes tight.

His arm rose instinctively to shield his face. His back arched as he curled into a ball.

Soro! You bastard!

I, Vegeta, will never forgive you!

I'll make you pay!

Vegeta clenched his jaw, his cheeks twitching.

He slowly opened his eyes again. His gaze darted around, sweeping over every corner of the treatment room.

Only after confirming there was no white light did his breathing settle.

His eyes burned with hatred, like two smoldering flames.

"Mr. Vegeta, are you feeling better?" A staff member asked considerately, leaning over toward him.

Vegeta nodded silently and climbed out of the treatment pod, his bare feet touching the cold floor.

He went over to pick up a brand-new Battle Suit, shook it out, and pulled it on.

"Mr. Vegeta must have been through quite a lot," the staff member remarked, glancing at the old Battle Suit Vegeta had taken off. "Even this high-strength Battle Suit was torn to pieces."

A clear footprint marked the chest of the suit. The fabric was ripped, its edges scorched black.

"What about Frieza?" Vegeta didn't respond. He turned his head and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is he here?"

"Lord Frieza has already left," the staff member replied, lowering his head.

"Hmph!" Vegeta snorted, lifting his chin slightly.

He headed for the door.

"Mr. Cui said he has something to discuss with you once your treatment is finished," the staff member called after him, stepping forward. "Please go to the training room!"

"Tell him," Vegeta said without looking back, not slowing his stride. "I have nothing to say to him!"

He strode forward, his shoes clicking sharply against the metal floor.

"You forgot your Scouter!" the staff member hurriedly called, picking it up from the table and holding it out.

"I don't need that thing anymore," Vegeta snorted, waving a hand. "Keep it as a toy."

He left the treatment room, his figure disappearing at the end of the corridor.

Vegeta walked through the mechanical corridors of Frieza Castle.

The lights on either side of the hallway cast alternating shadows and highlights across his face.

His brow furrowed as he stared ahead, silently planning what he needed to do next.

I'll leave for Earth first thing tomorrow morning!

This time, no matter what, I'll have my revenge!

Vegeta clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms.

My Combat Power has reached at least 24,000!

In the battle on Earth, his body had gone through the process of nearly dying and coming back stronger.

His Combat Power had surged since he left Earth.

But I need to figure out how to deal with the Flash Technique.

Vegeta's brow furrowed even more.

Just as he was thinking this, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the middle of the corridor.

The man stood firmly with his legs apart and his hands on his hips.

"Hey, Vegeta." Cui laughed loudly, hands on his hips, his voice echoing down the corridor. "Looks like you took quite a beating. You're even blind! What a joke! Hahaha!"

He tilted his head, looking Vegeta up and down.

"Raditz and Nappa are both dead. What kind of person could make the invincible Saiyans look so pathetic?"

"Get out of my way, Cui!" Vegeta snorted, his gaze scraping over him like a blade. "I don't have time to waste talking to you!"

With that, Vegeta started to leave, stepping to the left to go around Cui.

He couldn't stand the man.

"Smack!"

Cui reached out with a large hand, spread his fingers, and grabbed Vegeta's shoulder guard, gripping the edge of the armor.

"Lord Frieza is furious about your unauthorized actions!" Cui said coldly, his smile fading.

"What I do is none of his business!" Vegeta glared sideways at Cui, narrowing his eyes until a cold glint shone through the slits. "Get your filthy hand off me!"

"Still," Cui said with a smile, keeping his hand on Vegeta's shoulder and lightly patting it twice, "Lord Frieza is magnanimous. He's already forgiven you."

He paused, his eyes brightening.

"Because he discovered something very meaningful."

"What?" Vegeta asked, taken aback. His brow twitched.

"Lord Frieza is very pleased." Cui moved his hand from Vegeta's shoulder and put it back on his hip, grinning broadly. "Perhaps he can become immortal!"

"You... What did you say?" Vegeta's pupils shrank. His expression changed, and his lips parted slightly. "Could it be that Frieza went to..."

"Namek," Cui said, grinning even more broadly.

Vegeta was struck as if by lightning. His body stiffened, and his hands trembled slightly.

Damn it!

That bastard Frieza must have heard our conversation through the Scouter!

Vegeta clenched his teeth, a vein twitching in his forehead.

I was so careless!

I can't let him get there first!

If that happens, the entire universe will belong to him forever!

I'll deal with Soro later!

"You were hoping to use the Dragon Balls to become immortal too, weren't you?" Cui asked with a chuckle, tilting his head at Vegeta. "I suggest you forget about it. Once Lord Frieza gets his wish, he plans to kill every last Namekian..."

He made a throat-slitting gesture, drawing a finger across his neck.

"That bastard!" Vegeta roared, clenching his fists.

He didn't hesitate. He immediately rushed outside at full speed.

"Hey, Vegeta!" Cui shouted after him.

Vegeta ignored him, disappearing around the corner.

"Whoosh!"

A few minutes later, Vegeta's spherical spaceship blasted off from the launch platform, blue flames bursting from its rear.

The ship broke through the atmosphere and soared into the vastness of space, leaving a faint trail of light among the stars.

Earth, West City, Capsule Corp headquarters.

Another seven days had passed in the blink of an eye.

The courtyard was so quiet that only the cicadas could be heard.

According to the timekeeping system of Atlantis Planet, the first day of the month had come again—the day to draw a new skill.

Soro stood in the middle of the courtyard, his heart brimming with excitement as he silently watched the clock on his wrist.

The second hand ticked forward one mark at a time.

This watch was set to the time on Atlantis Planet.

Soro took a deep breath, his chest rising before he slowly exhaled.

It was finally noon.

The minute and hour hands pointed to twelve as the second hand reached zero.

Skill refreshed!

Guys, for now, the new skill is tentatively set as Combat Power x500. You'll get another chance to draw a new skill after reaching Namek, so start thinking about what kind of amazing skill would be good! And please vote for the monthly pass! Monthly pass! Monthly pass!
