Vexatious Buddies Bring Much Joy; The Tail's Purpose

However.

Son Goku laughed heartily: "Haha, Gohan, I'm not that amazing!"

"I just told Vegeta the same thing; I've been searching for a way to surpass Super Saiyan 3 for a long time."

"It's just a pity that I've never been able to find the right method."

"Hey, Tarble, how did you surpass Super Saiyan 3? Could you tell us?"

Tarble was just about to say "no problem," but Vegeta cut him off.

With a movement as fast as lightning, he reached out and yanked Son Goku aside.

"Absolutely not!"

"Kakarot, Tarble agreeing to spar with you is already giving you enough face. Don't push your luck!"

"You never told me the method to transform into a Super Saiyan 3, did you?"

"Hmph!"

"Tarble, don't you dare tell him!"

Caught off guard, Son Goku stumbled from the pull. Upon hearing what Vegeta said, he immediately grew anxious.

"What is it, Vegeta?"

"If you wanted to know how to transform into a Super Saiyan 3, you should have just asked!"

"How about this? Since you don't know the trick to the transformation, I'll tell you right now. Is that alright?"

Hearing this, Vegeta looked at him as if he were an idiot: "I don't need it!"

"If I want to know, I'd rather ask Tarble than ask you!"

Hearing Vegeta's words, Son Goku complained like a child: "Vegeta, you really are stingy!"

However, his eyes darted around, and he quickly thought of a clever way around it.

He chuckled, bypassed Vegeta, and flashed directly to Tarble's side, asking: "Hey, Tarble, you'll tell me the method to transform into Super Saiyan 4, right?"

It could be said that for the sake of getting stronger, as long as it didn't harm others or society, he would try any method possible.

In this regard, he and Vegeta were actually the same.

To a certain extent, they would stop at nothing to become stronger.

Seeing this, Vegeta gritted his teeth: "Kakarot!"

However, Son Goku acted as if he hadn't heard a thing, his eyes fixed intently on Tarble.

With that eager look, he was the spitting image of an old urchin.

Seeing that Son Goku was ignoring him, Vegeta was absolutely furious.

He couldn't beat him in a fight, so he could only glare fiercely.

That gaze seemed as if it wanted to tear Son Goku to shreds.

Seeing Son Goku's comical appearance, Tarble just smiled slightly. He wasn't in a hurry to answer, instead reverting to his base form first.

He scanned the area, his gaze falling on the other six Saiyans present, with Son Goku being the last.

"I will tell you the method, but not right now."

"Rix and I just came out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and we haven't had a proper meal yet."

"It won't be too late to tell you once I've had my fill."

"However, before that, I can tell you a little secret!"

Having said that, he paused intentionally, wanting to whet the appetites of Son Goku and the others.

When it came to martial arts and getting stronger, Son Goku was naturally the most impatient of the bunch.

The moment the words left his lips, his eyes lit up, and he asked impatiently: "What secret?"

Everyone present was curious about the "secret" Tarble mentioned, their desire for knowledge piqued.

Seeing them all stretching their necks in anticipation, Tarble said slowly: "The secret is... after transforming into a Super Saiyan 4, your training speed also increases several times over—it should be about 10 times faster."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present showed expressions of shock.

However, no one rashly interrupted Tarble.

Seeing that no one spoke, Tarble continued:

"Even when breaking through from Super Saiyan 2 to Super Saiyan 3, your training speed increases, roughly by four times."

"Therefore, even though the Super Saiyan 3 transformation has its flaws, I still suggest you transform into Super Saiyan 3 first, as that will increase your training speed to about four times the original."

"After training for a while, then you can attempt to transform into Super Saiyan 4."

After listening carefully to these words, Vegeta instantly understood many things.

For instance: why Son Goku's strength had always been ahead of his!

It turned out that the training speed differed fundamentally depending on the transformation.

No wonder that even though he had clearly trained hard all these years, when facing Son Goku, he didn't even need to fight to know he was no match, and the gap felt immense.

Now, he finally knew the reason.

The moment he understood the cause, an inexplicable rage welled up within him.

His eyes blazing, he glared fiercely at Son Goku and roared:

"Kakarot!!!"

"Vegeta, why are you yelling so loud? I can hear you..."

"You bastard! Don't interrupt!

Did you know all along that different transformations have different training speeds?"

"And you, you only cared about yourself and never thought of sharing, huh?"

"I didn't..."

"Shut up!"

"I knew it! My talent is clearly higher than yours, and I train harder than you, so why are you always ahead?"

Son Goku blinked, looking exceptionally innocent, and spread his hands: "Vegeta, I really don't know anything!"

"If I knew, I would definitely have told you all."

Vegeta wasn't buying it: "Hmph, you talk a better game than you play!"

Son Goku, however, emphasized with utmost seriousness: "If I knew, I would definitely say it!"

"Vegeta, I know you understand me!"

However, Vegeta scoffed and retorted: "Don't try to flatter me, I don't understand you at all."

In truth, he already believed him for the most part.

He also guessed that Tarble's knowledge must have come from an improved scouter.

Otherwise, Tarble wouldn't have known these things.

After all, only by digitizing power could accurate conclusions be drawn.

Questioning Son Goku was simply due to his unwillingness to accept it.

If he had known earlier, wouldn't he have had the chance to surpass Son Goku sooner?!

Although he knew Son Goku was likely not lying, asking him to apologize to Son Goku was simply a pipe dream.

After hearing his words, Son Goku rubbed his nose and chuckled, but didn't argue further.

At this moment, Tarble dropped another bombshell that sent shockwaves through both Vegeta and Son Goku.

"Furthermore, I've discovered the reason why Super Saiyan 3 can't gather energy."

Compared to Super Saiyan 4, solving the flaws of Super Saiyan 3 was the more pressing matter.

The inability to gather energy and rapid stamina depletion were problems Son Goku had always wanted to solve.

It was a pity that not only could he not think of any effective methods, but even the knowledgeable North Kai was clueless.

Therefore, upon hearing Tarble say this, he immediately asked in surprise: "Really?"

"Tarble, have you really found a solution?"

"I've also been thinking about ways to fix the flaws of the Super Saiyan 3 transformation, but it's never worked."

"Because I spent too much time thinking about it, I didn't train much, otherwise my strength would be even greater than it is now!"

"Heh heh~"

"Tarble, you're amazing for finding a solution in such a short time!"
