Even if Son Goku hadn't asked, Tarble had intended to tell the two of them anyway.
He organized his thoughts before slowly beginning his explanation.
"I attempted it within the range of a base battle power between 100 billion and 700 billion, but the results were all failures."
"Later, I waited until my base battle power reached one trillion before trying again."
"In the end, I succeeded on the very first attempt."
"If my guess is correct, to successfully break through to Super Saiyan 4, a base battle power of at least 800 billion or 900 billion is required for a chance at success."
"I'm not entirely sure of the exact number, but you two can try it out yourselves next."
"It requires 800 billion in base battle power?" Son Goku muttered to himself, his entire being suddenly filled with fighting spirit. "Then I'll have to train hard and strive to reach 800 billion as soon as possible, and then I'll give it a try!"
"Hey, Vegeta, lend me your Gravity Chamber, can you?"
However.
Vegeta didn't even spare him a glance; with a cold snort, he vanished in a flash.
When he reappeared, he was already outside the living quarters.
Then, he transformed with a boom into his Super Saiyan 2 form.
It seemed he intended to transform into Super Saiyan 3 first.
"What the... that guy Vegeta actually ignored me!" Son Goku complained.
Seeing this, Tarble gave Rix a look.
The latter understood immediately and promptly pulled out a Hoi-Poi Capsule containing a Gravity Chamber and handed it to Son Goku.
"Son Goku, there is a Gravity Chamber inside this capsule. You can use it."
"Really? Thank you so much, Rix!" Son Goku snatched the Hoi-Poi Capsule.
At this moment, Tarble cautioned him: "There are only four Gravity Chambers in total, just enough for one person each, so make sure not to break them."
"Otherwise, whoever breaks theirs won't have a Gravity Chamber to use."
"If you want to spar with someone, don't do it inside the Gravity Chamber."
Hearing this, Son Goku replied solemnly: "I understand!"
"Then, I'm off to train—"
Before his words had fully faded, his figure had already vanished.
The next instant, his energy could be sensed right near Vegeta.
"Rix, hurry and set up your things."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After giving the order, Tarble walked slowly toward the outside.
Sure enough, Son Goku was nearby, watching from the sidelines.
At this moment, the energy radiating from Vegeta was still climbing steadily.
The golden aura surging around his body seemed almost solidified.
The surface of that Wife-edition battle suit Bulma had specially made for him was flickering with golden light.
At this time, Vegeta also began to let out low, deep roars.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
Seeing Tarble arrive at his side, Son Goku whispered: "Tarble, the strength that guy Vegeta has now already surpasses mine from back when I fought Majin Buu."
Hearing this, Tarble nodded slightly and held a finger to his lips, signaling him to be quiet.
Seeing this, Son Goku understood immediately and fell silent.
Not far away, Vegeta's transformation continued.
The energy on his body rose higher and higher, and the golden light shimmering on the surface of his Wife-edition battle suit became increasingly blinding.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
Accompanied by high-pitched roars, Vegeta's golden hair began to grow and lengthen, visible to the naked eye.
In less than two breaths, his golden hair had grown all the way down to his waist.
In an instant, the roaring stopped abruptly.
Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta, breakthrough successful!
Seeing this scene, Tarble, Son Goku, and Rix flashed forward, moving closer.
"Vegeta, you've finally turned into a Super Saiyan 3 too!"
"Big brother, congratulations on successfully reaching Super Saiyan 2."
"Congratulations to Your Highness Vegeta for successfully transforming into Super Saiyan 4!"
At this moment, Vegeta's eyebrows had long since vanished, and the golden aura surging around his body was laced with thick, jagged bolts of lightning.
In his base form, he had always possessed a cold, stern appearance, naturally carrying a faint air of malevolence.
The Super Saiyan 3 transformation itself inherently looked somewhat sinister.
Consequently, after Vegeta transformed into a Super Saiyan 3, he gave off an incredibly wicked vibe.
The kind that was utterly heinous!
If this were the Vegeta of the past, he would have been a complete Great Demon.
But now, while he looked full of evil, his energy signature was anything but.
Hearing the words of the three, Vegeta swept a glance over them, his gaze finally settling on Son Goku as a wicked, slightly arrogant smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Kakarot, fight me!"
At this moment, his confidence had soared to incredible heights.
Even though he knew his base strength still lagged behind Son Goku's by nearly 200 billion, his confidence was overflowing now that he had transformed into a Super Saiyan 3.
Moreover, of the three people present, only Son Goku was suitable for him to spar with, allowing him to familiarize himself with and master this new transformation.
Facing the challenge from his good friend, Son Goku naturally didn't back down and agreed without hesitation.
"Alright!"
In the years since the Majin Buu incident, he had always hoped that Vegeta would become a Super Saiyan 3 sooner so they could have a battle between equals.
It was just a pity that Vegeta had never managed to break through until now.
At this point, Tarble offered a reminder: "I don't object to you two fighting, but do not use energy attacks during the battle!"
"Otherwise, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber will be destroyed by you before we even start training."
Upon hearing this, Vegeta nodded slightly, signaling his agreement.
"Fine, then no energy attacks!" Son Goku also readily agreed.
After responding, he erupted into his Super Saiyan 2 form.
Seeing this, Vegeta immediately gritted his teeth and cursed: "Kakarot, are you looking down on me?!"
"I'm not!" Son Goku explained, "You've only just turned into a Super Saiyan 3; you can't fully control it yet, and you won't be able to bring out its proper strength."
"Once you've fully mastered it, I will turn into a Super Saiyan 3!"
Hearing this, Vegeta let out a cold snort.
"Hmph!"
"Then I'll show you the power of a Super Saiyan 3!"
With that, he flew off toward a more distant area, intending to set the battlefield there.
In truth, he was well aware that he couldn't possibly wield the Super Saiyan 3 form with ease right after his first transformation.
However, understanding it was one thing, but seeing Son Goku only transform into a Super Saiyan 2 still made him angry.
That feeling of being looked down upon was something he could not stand.
Seeing this, Son Goku first tossed a Hoi-Poi Capsule to Rix.
"Rix, you hold onto the Gravity Chamber for now."
Following that, he flew off to catch up.
Glancing at Rix, who had reached out to catch the Hoi-Poi Capsule, he saw an eager expression on his face.
Tarble knew that he wanted to fight as well.
"Rix, give the Gravity Chamber to me."
Rix did not hesitate and immediately handed over the Hoi-Poi Capsule.
Taking the Hoi-Poi Capsule with one hand, Tarble continued: "If you want to fight, then go."
"Once they've adapted enough, you can join the fray and team up with my brother to take on Son Goku."
"That way, you can put some pressure on Son Goku."
Hearing this, a flash of joy appeared in Rix's eyes: "Yes, Your Highness."
"Go."
Seeing this, Rix did not hesitate and flew toward the battlefield that had just erupted.
