First Encounter with Super Saiyan; Vegeta's Surprise and Advice

Before long, Vegeta and Son Gohan returned to the group.

"Tarble, what are your plans for the future?" Vegeta asked with the air of an elder.

Tarble answered without hesitation, "I don't know yet. But, Big Brother, do you intend to live on Earth permanently?"

"Yes." Vegeta replied with a single, concise word.

Hearing this, Tarble immediately smiled and said, "Then I'll stay on Earth too. There are so few of us Saiyans left; it's better if we stick together."

"Oh, right, Big Brother, could you... transform into a Super Saiyan for me to see?"

Before he could even finish his sentence.

Vegeta's eyes narrowed, and a flash of golden light erupted around his body.

With a BOOM, he instantly transformed into a Super Saiyan.

After transforming, Vegeta's expression grew even colder as he explained, "This is a Super Saiyan. It boosts one's strength to 50 times that of their base form."

Once the explanation was over, he immediately reverted to his normal state.

Seeing a Super Saiyan with his own eyes for the first time, Tarble's eyes sparkled, and he sighed in genuine admiration, "So amazing!"

"So this is a Super Saiyan!"

"Such a powerful aura, and this look... it's too cool!"

The aura Vegeta had leaked during that brief transformation was, to someone at Tarble's current level, nothing short of a dimensional strike.

The suffocating pressure had washed over him, nearly leaving him unable to breathe.

Hearing these words, a faint smile appeared on Vegeta's face, though he quickly returned to his stoic expression: "Since you've decided to stay on Earth, if you don't have a place to live, come with me for now."

"I'll have Bulma arrange some housing for you."

"Bulma?" Tarble asked, feigning confusion. "Is she one of your subordinates? Is she a Saiyan too?"

Vegeta habitually crossed his arms over his chest and said calmly, "No, Bulma is an Earthling. She is your sister-in-law!"

"Eh, Bulma is my sister-in-law?" Tarble asked, pretending to be surprised. "Big Brother, you're married?"

Seeing this exaggerated reaction, Vegeta frowned: "Why are you making such a big fuss?"

"Is it that strange that I'm married?"

"No, no, not strange at all!" Tarble waved his hands dismissively.

He hadn't secured his long-term meal ticket yet, so he dared not touch the reverse scale of this wife-protecting fanatic.

"Follow me." Vegeta commanded, then took to the sky.

However.

Before he could even start flying toward West City, he suddenly halted and descended back to the ground.

Tarble knew why he had stopped; it was simply because Trunks was arriving with Bulma.

He had sensed two auras rapidly approaching through his own ki perception.

On this Earth, who else could possess such powerful auras—and specifically, auras with the distinct characteristics of a Saiyan?

Who else could it be but those two brats, Trunks and Son Goten?

However, knowing was one thing, but he still feigned ignorance, asking, "Big Brother, weren't we going to find my sister-in-law?"

"Why did you stop?"

Hearing this, a trace of helplessness flashed in Vegeta's eyes as he said, "They are already here."

"Tarble, you can take this opportunity to calm your mind and use your ki to sense the powerful individuals in the surrounding environment."

"Trunks, your nephew, is currently flying here with your sister-in-law."

"Try it and see if you can sense Trunks's aura!"

Hearing this, Tarble felt Vegeta's concern and immediately replied, "Alright, I'll give it a try."

As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes and began to go through the motions.

Rix, standing to the side, also closed his eyes to attempt the feat.

For a moment, Vegeta and the others hurriedly suppressed their own ki within their bodies so as not to disturb the two.

Everyone watched with curiosity and anticipation, wanting to see if Tarble's talent was as genius as they had speculated.

Among them, the anticipation in Vegeta's eyes was the most intense.

He truly hoped that Tarble's talent was even greater than Son Goku's; if that were the case, there would be a chance to surpass Son Goku.

Although he desperately wanted to be the one to surpass Son Goku himself, he had been unable to keep pace with him for many years.

Years ago, while fighting the original Majin Buu in the Supreme Kai World, he had willingly admitted that Son Goku was the strongest Saiyan.

Despite his reluctance, the facts were right in front of him, and he could not deny them.

So many years had passed, and even though he had trained diligently and longed to surpass his rival, he knew the chances of doing so were slim.

But seeing Tarble's talent now had given him a glimmer of hope.

For as long as anyone could remember, warriors possessing the royal bloodline of the Saiyans were naturally stronger than ordinary Saiyan warriors.

However, the appearance of Son Goku shattered this law.

Vegeta had always insisted on competing with Son Goku, not only because he genuinely wanted to win, but also to prove that the royal Saiyan warriors were the strongest.

It was just a pity that after years of desperate training to catch up, he had never won a single time.

Because of this, he had never brought up the matter of vindicating the royal Saiyans.

If he couldn't even achieve it himself, wouldn't it be incredibly embarrassing to talk about it?

Vegeta harbored great expectations, his eyes fixed intently on Tarble, his hands quietly clenching into fists without him even realizing it.

Tarble was unaware of his brother's actions and expression; upon sensing those two rapidly approaching auras drawing near, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Under Vegeta's eager gaze, he exclaimed with feigned surprise: "Big Brother, I think I've successfully mastered the technique of sensing ki!"

As he spoke, he pointed in two directions—the exact paths from which Trunks and Son Goten were rushing over.

"In those two directions, there are two individuals with massive auras flying toward us at high speed."

"Big Brother, am I right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Z Fighters present revealed expressions of astonishment.

Because the directions Tarble pointed were correct.

Piccolo marveled inwardly at Tarble's heaven-defying talent, which might even be greater than that of Son Gohan.

At this very moment, Vegeta was filled with a mix of surprise and joy.

To be able to master the techniques of using ki in such a short time—this talent might even be stronger than his own.

At the same time, he became firm in his previous conjecture:

That the traditional method of judging Saiyan aptitude was wrong.

If Tarble knew what he was thinking right now, he would certainly refute him, saying that the aptitude judgment method wasn't wrong, but it wasn't entirely correct either.

At this moment, a smile finally appeared on Vegeta's cold face: "Tarble, congratulations on successfully mastering the technique of sensing ki."

"It seems that Father's decision to send you to a fringe planet back then was a mistake."

"Train hard in the future. Although you are already stronger than Father was, it is still not enough."

"Strive to become a Super Saiyan; the road ahead is still very long!"

Once these words were spoken, Piccolo and the others all revealed expressions of surprise.

In their eyes, such words did not sound like something that could come out of Vegeta's mouth.

It wasn't just them; even Tarble felt a bit surprised.

However, he nodded extremely earnestly and said: "Yeah, I know!"

"My first goal is to become a Super Saiyan!"

"Whatever you and the others can do, I will definitely be able to do as well!"

Hearing this, Vegeta was very satisfied and gave a heavy nod.
