Selecting a New Skill; Vegeta's Professional Finishing Blow

Currently, Tarble's combat power is only 30,000, placing him in the third dimension of strength. With 3 additional binding slots added to the initial quota, he has a total of 4 slots available.

Just then, a line of text appeared in his eyes once more:

[New binding target detected. You may select one skill from the target. Please make your choice as soon as possible.]

[Target: Son Gohan. Available skills:

Flight

Solar Flare

Kamehameha

Masenko

Masendan

Special Beam Cannon]

[Target: Vegeta. Available skills:

Flight

Galaxy Breaker

Galick Gun

Flash Cannon

Destructo Disc

Dark Impact

Spread Energy Wave

Energy Ring

Finger Beam

Final Explosion]

Looking at the dazzling array of skills from the two, Tarble pondered for a moment and decided to choose the skills with the greatest fame and power: Special Beam Cannon and Galick Gun.

Special Beam Cannon is Piccolo's self-created ultimate technique; not only is its power immense, but it also possesses extreme piercing capability.

As his student and "favorite son," Son Gohan naturally learned this move as well.

The power of the Galick Gun is naturally not to be underestimated; it is a move on the same tier as the Kamehameha.

Since they were readily available here, there was no need to spend extra effort learning them from scratch.

The moment the skills were selected, a line of text appeared in his eyes again:

[Congratulations to the host for acquiring new skills: Special Beam Cannon and Galick Gun.]

Upon reading this, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

He then moved his consciousness to pull up the system panel.

[Current Timeline]: Dragon Ball Super

.

The first five skills were already mastered by the original body.

The Super Explosive Wave was Rix's signature move.

The other six skills were ones he had figured out and learned himself during his year of training.

If there hadn't been a time limit on selecting skills—restricted to the very day of binding—he would never have used his skill selection opportunity on Vegeta right now.

After all, Vegeta would eventually be able to master Ultra Ego.

If he could have waited until then to select a skill, he absolutely would have held off.

Unfortunately, skill selection was time-sensitive.

However, the most important thing right now was the improvement of his strength.

Therefore, he had to bind to increase his training efficiency multiplier.

One had to realize that the Dragon Ball Super era was fast approaching.

With a Battle Power of 30,000, one could only stand on the sidelines as a cheerleader.

Furthermore, it was May 8th, 778, and there probably wasn't much time left before Beerus came to Earth to stir up trouble.

Even though he knew the plot, he couldn't pin all his hopes for survival on others, could he?

When it came to strength, having it for oneself was the only way to truly feel at ease.

After closing the system panel with a thought, Tarble turned his gaze back to the battlefield.

Although he couldn't track the movements of Son Gohan, Abo, and Gato, the deafening sounds of their collisions became clear to his ears once again.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

With a loud "boom," a dark shadow plummeted rapidly from high in the sky.

Rumble!

The shadow slammed into the ground, instantly kicking up a cloud of dust and smoke.

At this moment, he finally caught sight of Son Gohan, who was hovering in the air, looking down at the yellowish-brown smoke on the ground.

Suddenly, Vegeta's extremely dissatisfied voice reached his ears.

"What the hell is that brat Gohan doing!"

"He's been playing around for so long and still hasn't finished off his opponents!"

"Don't tell me he wants to learn from Kakarot and spare the enemy's life?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Piccolo added with a tone of frustration: "After all these years, he's long forgotten the resolve of a warrior!"

"If it were him back during the Cell Games, the enemy would have been killed long ago!"

Hearing this, Vegeta agreed wholeheartedly, though he scoffed, "Hmph!"

"The way both father and son are so soft-hearted toward their enemies is truly disgusting."

Hearing his good friend and "dear son" being spoken of this way, Piccolo immediately let out a cold snort and said, "Hmph!"

"If they weren't like that, you wouldn't be alive today!"

"And neither would I."

Hearing this, Vegeta let out a mocking laugh: "Tch!"

He then turned his head away and didn't respond.

Seeing this, Tarble reined in the smile on his face and requested of Vegeta: "Big Brother, then please step in and help kill the enemies."

When it comes to finishing off an opponent, you're the only one for the job, Vegeta!

Vegeta frowned as he looked over, a hint of gratification in his eyes, and nodded with a smile: "Very well. Anyone who dares to hunt down us Saiyans must be prepared to die."

"When dealing with enemies, one should be ruthless!"

"Tarble, your thinking is correct."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at the dust cloud on the battlefield that had yet to fully dissipate, the smile on his face vanishing in an instant.

The next second.

Swish!

Tarble only felt a blur before his eyes, and Vegeta had already vanished from his sight.

Before he could even manage to turn his head, a muffled sound of something being pierced followed by a miserable shriek suddenly erupted in his ears.

Pfft!

"Ah!!!!"

By the time he had fully turned around, he saw a purple head flying high into the sky.

Clearly, Abo and Gato had been decapitated by Vegeta.

This style of conduct was truly swift and cruel.

However, when dealing with enemies, one had to do exactly that!

Immediately following this, Vegeta tossed the body of Abo and Gato into the sky, then abruptly fired two pure white energy blasts.

Boom!

The torso and the head were instantly reduced to dust.

At this moment, Son Gohan, who had been somewhat stunned in the air, finally regained his senses and slowly descended.

"Uncle Vegeta, wasn't it agreed that I would be the one to finish them off?"

"Why, why did you suddenly intervene!"

The ruthless scene Vegeta had just displayed once again tugged at his heartstrings.

This situation was extremely similar to when he had killed that Saiyan named Nappa back in the day!

Because of this, he watched on in trepidation.

"Hmph!"

"Son Gohan, if you continue to be as soft-hearted toward your enemies as Kakarot, sooner or later, you will suffer a great loss!"

Vegeta showed no mercy, lecturing him harshly.

Once upon a time, this kid before him had defeated Super Perfect Cell single-handedly, successfully pulling them back from the brink of death.

In just a few short years, this kid had surpassed them, overtaking both him and Son Goku.

Back then, he had been so high-spirited, awe-inspiring, and brimming with dominance.

But now?

On him, one could not see a single shred of the sharp edge a warrior ought to possess!

While feeling frustrated that he wouldn't live up to his potential, he also felt a sense of regret.

After delivering a few words of reprimand, Vegeta turned and walked toward Tarble.

Son Gohan scratched his head in embarrassment, smiling sheepishly; he didn't say anything, simply stepping forward to follow.

Just a moment ago, he had indeed harbored the thought of letting Abo and Gato go.

In his view, no matter what, it was still a living life.

Besides, they hadn't suffered any losses, so what harm was there in sparing them?

However, since Vegeta had already stepped in to kill them, then so be it.
