A Lifelong Enemy

Krillin and Piccolo were sprawled on the ground, their energy barely holding out. All they could do was sit there and watch Gohan and Wang Sheng team up against Nappa.

Just then, Nappa kicked Gohan high into the air, then struck him with the edge of his hand and sent him flying into a small mountain.

Nappa was just about to gloat when a sharp pain struck his abdomen. The next moment, he was sent flying into the distance. Wang Sheng had seized the opportunity to land a small fist in his gut.

"Haha, I knew the energy inside Wang Sheng was enormous. As long as we bring it out, he'll definitely be able to beat that despicable Saiyan." While training in the Heavenly Realm, Krillin had witnessed Wang Sheng's power firsthand and seen just how immense his potential was.

Wang Sheng's fight with Nappa had gone from being completely outmatched, to barely holding his own, and now to exchanging attacks on equal terms. His improvement was astonishingly fast.

"Gohan, get up! Show him your true strength!" Seeing Krillin praise Wang Sheng, Piccolo felt a little jealous and shouted at Gohan, who was sitting on the ground holding his head.

"Damn it!" Nappa wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His energy surged, stirring up a powerful gust that sent dust and rocks flying. Then he roared and charged at Wang Sheng again.

A streak of light shot in from the side. Encouraged by Piccolo, Gohan joined the battle too.

The three figures—one large and two small—clashed fiercely in the sky.

Vegeta watched with his Scouter on. He saw the two brats' power levels steadily rising. One was now at 5,675, and the other at 4,989.

"What's going on? Why do they keep getting stronger?" Nappa panicked.

Smack!

Wang Sheng suddenly appeared beside Nappa's face and swung his small fist at it. Nappa's face twisted as he spat wildly.

"What?" Nappa's eyes bulged in disbelief as he shouted. His burly body flew off like a cannonball.

"Masenko!" Seeing Nappa sent flying, Gohan spotted an opening, raised both hands, and fired a Ki Blast that struck him midair.

Boom!

"Argh!"

Nappa's bloodcurdling scream rang out from the smoke.

"Pathetic!"

Vegeta was unmoved by Nappa getting hit. Instead, he looked down on him for being beaten so badly by two children.

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable! I'll kill you!" The smoke cleared, revealing Nappa's battered figure.

"Die!"

Nappa roared and fired a Ki Blast at the two of them.

Wang Sheng and Gohan saw what was coming and shouted in unison.

"Kamehameha!"

"Masenko!"

The two blasts shot out at the same time, spiraled around each other in midair, then fused into a yellow-and-blue beam. The massive blast collided head-on with Nappa's incoming Ki Blast.

"What?"

To Nappa's shock, the yellow-and-blue beam overwhelmed his attack with unstoppable force and surged toward him.

"Argh!"

Nappa let out a piercing scream as the blast struck his burly body. A dazzling flash erupted on the spot, so bright that no one could look directly at it.

"Haha, amazing!" Krillin laughed uproariously. Remembering the friends Nappa had brutally killed, he laughed until tears streamed down his face.

"Hmph! At least you showed some promise!" Piccolo snorted, though a hint of satisfaction flickered in his eyes.

"Beautiful!" Watching from a distance, Goku struck his right fist against his left palm and cheered.

A faint groan sounded. A burly figure slowly crawled out of the crater, seemingly in tremendous pain.

"Vegeta!" Nappa struggled to raise his hand and called weakly to Vegeta nearby.

Vegeta smirked and flew over.

"Vegeta, I'm sorry. I failed!" Nappa seemed to be on his last breath.

"Forget it!"

Vegeta sighed, then flew up and kicked Nappa high into the air.

"Ah! Why?"

Nappa cried out in panic.

"You lost to two children. You've disgraced the Saiyans, you shameful excuse for one!" Vegeta shouted. Then his energy gathered, and he fired a powerful shockwave at Nappa in the sky.

"Argh!"

The blast struck Nappa, his face contorting violently as he shrieked like a slaughtered pig.

Boom!

The light faded, and a charred figure fell from the sky. Nappa landed in the dirt and lay motionless.

He had been killed by his own comrade!

Krillin and the others were horrified by Vegeta's cruelty.

"How heartless! He actually killed his own comrade with his bare hands."

"So cruel!" Seeing Nappa killed by his own companion, Goku witnessed the Saiyans' savagery once more. His face was full of disbelief.

Wang Yang remained expressionless. Traveling through the universe, he had already witnessed countless distortions of human nature, moral decay, and terrifying darkness and bloodshed. This was nothing to him.

With Nappa dead, Vegeta stretched his limbs, preparing to take the field himself.

"Gohan, this guy looks even tougher to deal with." Wang Sheng and Gohan stood shoulder to shoulder in fighting stances and muttered quietly.

"Y-yeah! He looks even scarier." Thinking of how the man had killed his own comrade without hesitation, Gohan felt a chill run through him.

"Be careful, you two!" Krillin shouted from a distance.

Whoosh!

Vegeta raised an eyebrow and gave a sharp wave of his right hand toward Krillin.

Krillin and Piccolo hurriedly leaped away. A huge explosion erupted where they had been, and a powerful gust struck them in midair. They lost control of their bodies, tumbled several times, and fell back down.

"Uncle Piccolo!"

"Uncle Krillin!"

The two little ones shouted, then roared and charged at Vegeta with their energy blazing.

Wang Yang's gaze suddenly lingered on Krillin for a moment. Then he glanced at Goku beside him.

"Why are you looking at me so strangely? It's giving me a bad feeling," Goku said, suddenly feeling a chill down his spine.

"Nothing." Wang Yang chuckled.

Krillin's sacrifice will make Goku a god!

Krillin's sacrifice will make his power boundless!

The two children finally faced off against Vegeta. In the distance, Goku's expression grew serious, and he watched Gohan without blinking.

Goku's muscles tensed as if he were ready to jump in at any moment.

Wang Yang looked relaxed, but he was keeping close track of Wang Sheng's energy, ready to use Instant Transmission and appear beside him at any moment.

Vegeta really was incredibly powerful, far stronger than Nappa. Facing Wang Sheng and Gohan's attacks, he calmly threw two punches and knocked them both to the ground with ease.

"Gohan, are you all right?" Wang Sheng climbed out of the dirt and helped Gohan up.

"He's so strong. My whole body hurts. I don't think I can keep fighting." Gohan managed a weak smile.

"It's okay. I can still fight." Wang Sheng rubbed his stomach and forced a smile.

Meanwhile, at Kame House, Bulma and the others watched the battle through Fortuneteller Baba's crystal ball.

"Ah! My Gohan! He'll die if this goes on!" Chi-Chi cried out, clutching the crystal ball as tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.

"Little Sheng, my Little Sheng!" Bulma was frantic. She stomped around and pounded Oolong on the head.

"Wang Yang, you jerk! Why haven't you shown up yet?"

"Fortuneteller Baba, tell me where Wang Yang is! I'll go find him!" Bulma suddenly seemed to think of something and hurriedly called out to Fortuneteller Baba.

"That's right! That's right!" Master Roshi and the others came to their senses and quickly urged Fortuneteller Baba to cast her spell.

As long as they found Wang Yang, the two Saiyans would surely be no match for him.

"Divining takes an enormous amount of concentration. I can't cast a spell lightly. It takes me a long time to recover after each one," Fortuneteller Baba said hesitantly. The two words 'pay me' might as well have been written on her face.

"Just do the divination!" Chi-Chi shouted at Fortuneteller Baba.

Bulma rolled up her sleeves, baring her pale arms. She looked ready to make sure Fortuneteller Baba wouldn't get away with refusing.

Seeing the two women furious, Fortuneteller Baba didn't dare provoke them. She was afraid they would beat her up for nothing, and she wouldn't even have anyone to complain to.

"You people have no respect for your elders. If I'd known, I wouldn't have come," Fortuneteller Baba muttered. Then her gnarled hands began to dance in front of the crystal ball.

"@#￥%..."

As Fortuneteller Baba cast her spell, the crystal ball flickered. The figures of Wang Yang and Goku slowly appeared inside it.

"Goku's with Wang Yang?" Master Roshi exclaimed in surprise.

"Where are they? This place looks familiar." Bulma furrowed her brows and leaned closer to look.

The image shifted, and Piccolo's green figure stood out sharply in a corner of the crystal ball.

"Ah! King Piccolo? They're both there?" Bulma's eyes widened in shock.

"Goku, you! You're over there, watching Gohan get bullied and doing nothing? I won't forgive you!" Chi-Chi's veins stood out as she glared at Goku's image with eyes blazing.

"Hm?" Wang Yang's senses were exceptionally sharp. He immediately noticed that someone was watching him.

He closed his eyes and followed the mysterious connection...

Wang Yang's gaze seemed to pierce through time and space. A myriad of colors flashed before his eyes. A moment later, he opened them, and what he saw startled him.

In Kame House, everyone was glaring at him angrily. An awkward expression appeared on Wang Yang's face.

Oh no, they found me!

"Hello, everyone!" Wang Yang greeted them with an awkward laugh.

"Hm?" Seeing Wang Yang greet the air for no apparent reason, Goku beside him scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"Wang Yang, who are you talking to?"

"You're right there? You're watching our son get beaten up?" Bulma pushed past the people in front of the crystal ball and shouted at Wang Yang. At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to grab him and beat him up.

"Goku, you jerk! Gohan's about to die, and you're just standing there watching him get beaten! You're going to be the death of me!" Chi-Chi came up too and shouted angrily at Goku, who stood beside Wang Yang.

Snap!

Wang Yang snapped his fingers and cut off the view.

At Kame House, Fortuneteller Baba's crystal ball immediately blurred. Wang Yang and Goku disappeared from inside it.

"I'm going over there." Bulma stormed outside, took out a Hoi-Poi Capsule, and tossed it onto the ground.

"I'm coming too!" Chi-Chi followed her out.

Master Roshi, Ox-King, Oolong, and the others climbed aboard too.

They had been worried that going to the battlefield would put them in danger. Now that they knew Wang Yang and Goku were there, they weren't afraid anymore.

The plane cut through the sky, leaving two long trails of exhaust behind it. With a mother's fierce determination to protect her child, Bulma pushed the plane to top speed.

Master Roshi and Oolong weren't seated properly. One wrong move sent them flying, and they ended up spread-eagled against the plane's tail.

"Goku, I have some bad news. You need to prepare yourself." Wang Yang's expression was grave as he looked into the distance. A powerful, terrifying energy was rising over there. Faced with such tremendous power, he couldn't summon any strength, as if surrender were the only way to protect himself.

"Hm?" Seeing how serious Wang Yang looked, Goku's expression grew grave too.

"What's the bad news? Is there a new enemy?"

Goku could think of nothing but opponents.

"Yes. This enemy is terrifying. She's our lifelong enemy. I don't think the two of us can beat her. Even if we trained for hundreds or thousands of years, we still wouldn't have the courage to fight her," Wang Yang said solemnly.

"That strong?" Goku's eyes lit up. "Wang Yang, you told me that no matter what, I must never lose heart and must always keep striving. How can you be thinking that way now? That won't do!"

"You don't understand. This enemy is different." Wang Yang shook his head and sighed.

"It's fine. The stronger the opponent, the more excited I get. Then I'll have a goal to surpass. If you can't fight later, let me take them on. I won't hold back." Goku wasn't discouraged at all. Instead, he clenched his fist, his face alight with excitement.

Goku felt he would never lose heart like Wang Yang. At that moment, he thought he had truly surpassed him. He couldn't wait to meet the enemy.

He punched and kicked the air, as if warming up before a fight.

"Heh-heh!" A mysterious smile flickered in Wang Yang's eyes.

Let's see if you really dare to fight her when she gets here.

Boom!

A loud crash drew their attention.

"Ah!" Wang Sheng roared. The rubble covering him was blasted away by his powerful energy.

"What's going on? His strength keeps increasing as he fights?" Vegeta exclaimed, staring at Wang Sheng, who had stood back up.

In the middle of the fight, the power Wang Yang had sealed away was steadily being released. Wang Sheng's strength was now worlds apart from what it had been at the beginning.

I can't let this go on. With this strange brat, his power level might surpass mine if he keeps fighting. The thought made Vegeta roar. His energy surged like a landslide, blowing Gohan away before he could brace himself.
