Vegeta Successfully Breaks Through to Super Saiyan 3

Even if Son Goku hadn't asked, Tarble had already planned to tell the two of them.

After gathering his thoughts, he slowly began to explain.

"I tried when my base battle power was between 100 billion and 700 billion, but I failed every time."

"Later, I waited until my base battle power reached one trillion before trying again."

"In the end, I succeeded on my first attempt."

"If my guess is right, then to break through to Super Saiyan 4, your base battle power needs to be at least 800 or 900 billion for you to have a chance of succeeding."

"I'm not sure exactly how much you need, though. You can try it yourselves later."

"Base battle power of 800 billion?" Son Goku murmured. Then his fighting spirit flared. "Then I'll have to train hard and try to reach 800 billion as soon as possible. Once I do, I'll give it a shot!"

"Hey, Vegeta, can I borrow the Gravity Chamber?"

However.

Vegeta didn't even look at him. He snorted and vanished with a whoosh.

When he reappeared, he was already outside the living quarters.

Then, with a roar, he transformed into Super Saiyan 2.

It looked like he planned to transform into Super Saiyan 3 first.

"What's with him? Vegeta's ignoring me!" Son Goku complained.

Seeing this, Tarble gave Rix a look.

Rix understood immediately and pulled out a Hoi-Poi Capsule containing a Gravity Chamber, then handed it to Son Goku.

"Son Goku, there's a Gravity Chamber inside this Capsule. You can use it."

"Really? Thanks so much, Rix!" Son Goku snatched the Hoi-Poi Capsule.

Tarble reminded him, "There are only four Gravity Chambers in total, so there's just one for each of us. Be careful not to break yours."

"Whoever breaks one won't have a Gravity Chamber to use."

"If you want to spar with someone, don't do it inside the Gravity Chamber."

Son Goku nodded solemnly. "Got it!"

"Then I'm off to train—"

Before he finished speaking, he had already vanished.

The next instant, Tarble sensed his ki near Vegeta.

"Rix, hurry up and put everything away."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After giving the order, Tarble slowly walked outside.

Sure enough, Son Goku was watching from not far away from Vegeta.

At that moment, the ki surrounding Vegeta was still rising steadily.

The golden aura flickering around his body seemed almost frozen in place.

Golden light flashed across the surface of the Battle Suit Bulma had made especially for him.

Then Vegeta began letting out a series of low shouts.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

When Son Goku saw Tarble come over, he said quietly, "Tarble, Vegeta's already stronger than I was back when I fought Majin Buu."

Tarble nodded slightly and raised a finger to his lips, signaling for him to be quiet.

Son Goku understood at once and fell silent.

Not far away, Vegeta's transformation continued.

His ki grew stronger and stronger, and the golden light shimmering across the surface of his Wife-edition battle suit grew increasingly blinding.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Amid his rising shouts, Tarble's golden hair visibly began to grow longer.

In less than two breaths, it reached his waist.

In an instant, his shouts abruptly stopped.

Vegeta had successfully transformed into Super Saiyan 3!

Seeing this, Tarble, Son Goku, and Rix flashed closer.

"Vegeta, you finally transformed into Super Saiyan 3!"

"Big brother, congratulations on reaching Super Saiyan 2."

"Congratulations, Your Highness Vegeta, on successfully transforming into Super Saiyan 4!"

By now, Vegeta's eyebrows had vanished, and thick bolts of lightning mingled with the yellow aura surging around him.

Even in his base form, he had always looked cold and carried a faint air of wickedness.

And Saiyans in Super Saiyan 3 form already looked somewhat wicked.

So after Vegeta transformed into Super Saiyan 3, he gave off an intensely evil impression.

The kind of evil that belonged to a heinous villain!

If this had been the old Vegeta, he would have been a true Great Demon.

But now, although he looked wicked, his ki didn't feel that way.

Hearing the three of them, Vegeta glanced over, then fixed his gaze on Son Goku. A wicked, somewhat arrogant smile curled his lips.

"Kakarot, fight me!"

At that moment, his confidence shot through the roof.

He knew that his base power still lagged behind Son Goku's by nearly 200 billion.

But now that he had transformed into Super Saiyan 3, his confidence was soaring.

Besides, of the three people here, Son Goku was the only one suited to spar with him and help him get used to his new transformation.

Faced with his best friend's challenge, Son Goku wasn't the least bit intimidated. He agreed without hesitation.

"Sure!"

In the years since the Majin Buu incident, he had been hoping Vegeta would transform into Super Saiyan 3 soon, so the two of them could finally have an evenly matched battle.

Unfortunately, Vegeta had never managed to break through.

At that moment, Tarble reminded them, "I don't mind if you want to fight, but don't use energy attacks!"

"Otherwise, you'll destroy the Hyperbolic Time Chamber before you've even had a chance to train in it."

Vegeta nodded slightly, accepting the condition.

"Fine, no energy attacks!" Son Goku agreed readily.

After replying, he roared and transformed into Super Saiyan 2.

Seeing this, Vegeta gritted his teeth and cursed, "Kakarot, are you looking down on me?!"

"I'm not!" Son Goku explained. "You just transformed into Super Saiyan 3, so you can't control it completely yet and won't be able to fight at full strength."

"Once you've mastered it, I'll transform into Super Saiyan 3!"

Vegeta snorted.

"Hmph!"

"Then I'll show you how powerful Super Saiyan 3 is!"

As he spoke, he flew farther away first, intending to open up a battlefield there.

In truth, he knew perfectly well that he wouldn't be able to control Super Saiyan 3 with ease right after transforming.

But knowing that didn't help. Seeing Son Goku transform only into Super Saiyan 2 still infuriated him.

He couldn't stand feeling looked down on.

Seeing this, Son Goku tossed a Hoi-Poi Capsule to Rix.

"Rix, you hold on to the Gravity Chamber for now."

Then he flew after them.

Tarble glanced at Rix, who had caught the Hoi-Poi Capsule. Rix looked eager to fight.

Tarble knew he wanted to join in, too.

"Rix, give me the Gravity Chamber."

Rix didn't hesitate and immediately handed him the Hoi-Poi Capsule.

Taking it in one hand, Tarble continued, "If you want to fight, go ahead."

"Once they've gotten used to their new forms, you can join in and team up with my big brother to fight Son Goku."

"That way, you can put some pressure on Son Goku."

Rix's eyes lit up. "Yes, Your Highness."

"Go ahead."

Rix didn't hesitate. He flew toward the battle that had just begun.
