Cooler had already guessed that Salza would secretly make some arrangements upon returning, but seeing the smiling expression on Saigo's face and the gesture of his hand, he suppressed the urge to immediately kill this detestable little Saiyan monkey and was forced to spit out those words stiffly.

"Yes, Great King!"

Salza immediately fiddled with his scouter and began to relay the order.

"Attention everyone! Attention everyone! This is Number 1! This is Number 1!"

"Great King Cooler is about to engage in a duel with the King of Saiyans. The winner shall have absolute right of disposal over the loser! After the duel, no one is allowed to act without authorization; violators will be dealt with by military law! Acknowledge if received! Acknowledge if received!"

After speaking, Salza deliberately removed his scouter and pressed the speaker button so that Saigo opposite him could hear clearly.

Static~

"Number 1, Number 1, this is Number 2! This is Number 2! Order received! Order received! Over!"

"Number 1, Number 1, this is Number 3! This is Number 3! Order received! Order received! Over!"

"Number 1, Number 1, this is Number 15! This is Number 15! Order received! Order received! Over!"

Salza pressed the speaker button again, put his scouter back on, and moved behind Cooler to wait.

"Captain Salza, go back and take control of the army! It's easy to get caught in the crossfire staying here!" Cooler said without turning his head.

Beyond being concerned that his strategist might get caught in the fray, he had another intention: Salza was the only one who could keep the army in check while he was away.

Salza's position in Cooler's ranks was quite significant, and he was usually treated as an invaluable asset.

"Yes! Great King Cooler! This subordinate takes his leave!"

Whoosh!

Salza instantly burst with energy and flew toward the spaceship in the sky.

"So, little Saiyan King, shall we begin?" A smug smile hung on Cooler's face, convinced that this time victory was within his grasp.

Little did he know, this arrangement suited Saigo's wishes even more.

He looked at Cooler as if looking at a fool, a meaningful smile appearing on his face as he controlled his body to drift forward slowly.

Seeing Saigo smile, Cooler's smug face grew even more radiant; to think the Saiyan monkeys would let such a little brat be their King—they must be out of their minds!

Still, it saved him a lot of trouble!

He hoped this little monkey could hold out for a while!

Seeing Saigo's unhurried manner, Cooler finally lost his patience. His blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, and he vanished from his spot, taking the initiative to launch an attack with high-speed movement!

The next instant, Cooler's figure appeared behind Saigo. He finally revealed his true colors, showing no mercy just because Saigo was a youth. His powerful fist, carrying a fierce gale, slammed straight toward Saigo's back, his face twisted with ferocity, cruelty, and a hint of exhilaration.

Seeing that he was about to hit his target, the ferocious smile on his face became even more exaggerated and triumphant.

However.

Bang! A sound rang out!

Saigo's tail suddenly uncoiled from his waist and, with a speed Cooler couldn't react to, whipped directly into his heavy fist.

"What?"

Cooler focused his eyes and saw that the little monkey had blocked his full-force blow with nothing but that brown tail!

"Impossible!"

After a strange cry, filled with shock and doubt, Cooler refused to accept it and swung another punch.

Bang!

However, the attack was still ineffective.

Cooler still couldn't believe it; what kind of joke was this?

He was the Cosmic Emperor Cooler, with a combat power as high as 800 million!

How could this little monkey block his attack with just a tail?

He did not believe it!

At the thought of this, Cooler was both shocked and terrified, yet unwilling to believe it. Fueled by rage, he mustered all his strength and launched a series of attacks.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...

Every attack was blocked by that tiny tail, and he was even whipped in the face by it!

For Cooler, this was an utter humiliation!

But at this moment, the fear in his heart far outweighed his sense of pride.

"Impossible!"

"Impossible!"

"This is impossible!"

Cooler was now completely unsettled, shouting frantically. His body trembled involuntarily, and he leaned back slightly, his eyes filled with terror as he put some distance between himself and Saigo.

"Who exactly are you? You cannot be a Saiyan! There has never been a Saiyan as strong as you!"

King Saigao maintained a nonchalant posture, slowly turning around as he sneered, "The dignified Cosmic Emperor Cooler, surely this isn't the extent of your strength? My patience is limited; hurry up and unleash your full power, or you will die by my hand in the blink of an eye!"

Upon hearing King Saigao's words, Cooler felt a surge of secret joy. This is what you said—don't you dare launch a sneak attack while I bring out my true strength!

"Rest assured, I am not so shameless as some others, needing to resort to sneak attacks against a child only to end up battered and bruised in the end," King Saigao said, looking at the visibly flustered and panicked Cooler with disdain.

Cooler was instantly enraged, a wave of fury surging within him. But then he reconsidered: once he transformed into his final form, he would see if this arrogant Saiyan monkey could still be so cocky. When that time came, he would surely vent the stifled anger in his heart!

Thinking of this, Cooler felt much better and laughed aloud, "Then let me show you the true power of the Cosmic Emperor, Cooler! Keep your eyes wide open and watch closely!"

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh..."

Cooler began his constipated-sounding roar, gathering energy to transform into his final form. The already terrifyingly formidable aura on his body surged in an instant, wantonly releasing the power hidden deep within him.

At the same time, in the detection room of the fifteen spaceships, the entire staff erupted into excited shouts.

"That's it!"

"Lord Cooler is finally using his full power! His combat power has suddenly soared to 1 billion! It's a good thing we raised the detection limit of the equipment to 20 billion beforehand, otherwise, the instruments would have been scrapped long ago by such high combat power!"

"Lord Cooler is truly invincible! His combat power has increased to 2 billion, and it's still rising!"

Soon, the news reached the ears of everyone else on the ships, and in an instant, the vessels erupted with wild, joyful cheers.

"Long live Lord Cooler!"

"Long live Lord Cooler!"

These scenes were playing out simultaneously across all of Cooler's ships, with some even popping open beer to celebrate in advance.

On the other side.

The Saiyan Great Apes directly below the battlefield of King Saigao and Cooler all wore grave expressions.

"This is bad! How could that bastard Cooler's aura suddenly skyrocket?! It's becoming as powerful as King Saigao's! Is the Frost Demon Race really that monstrous? How can there be someone so strong?!"

"Yeah! With such a monster, can King Saigao win?"

"Shut up, all of you! King Saigao's hair hasn't turned yellow yet, which proves he hasn't even entered his Super Saiyan form. Once King Saigao unleashes his full power, that so-called Cooler will definitely be no match for him!"

"Exactly! King Saigao will definitely win the duel in the end! I was just thinking that when the time comes, we can use all the captives up there to help us Saiyans with logistics—it would be best if they could help research detectors with higher combat power limits!"

"Right! We can do that, and then we'll have more time to train and improve our strength!"

"That idea is excellent! But how to deal with these captives is up to King Saigao, so stop discussing it so casually!"

Standing at the very front of the Great Ape pack, Bardock wore a bitter expression.

It turned out that he had no way of catching up to King Saigao's footsteps at all.

Even without transforming into a Super Saiyan, King Saigao's aura was already on par with the transformed Cooler. Since Bardock was currently maintaining his own Super Saiyan form, his perception of the intensity of the two auras on the battlefield was even more precise and clear.

What he did not know was that King Saigao's base strength far exceeded the strength of Cooler after his transformation.

By nearly three times.
