Ye Ming smiled at Son Goku and said, "In this form, your power has indeed increased far beyond that of a Super Saiyan 2."
"But during our exchange just now, my own power has gradually increased as well, and I have mastered a new form."
As he finished speaking, Son Goku's expression suddenly turned grave; clearly, he realized that Ye Ming had mastered the Super Saiyan transformation during the course of their battle.
Suddenly, Ye Ming let out a fierce roar. Lightning crackled around him, his hair gradually turned golden, and energy surged from his body in a continuous stream.
This power was even greater than that of a Super Saiyan 3. Those outside, upon sensing this energy, were certain that it did not belong to Son Goku.
They were instantly shocked, realizing that this unknown Saiyan's strength was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
This surge of power immediately stunned Vegeta—the Saiyan Prince—who was training in the gravity room.
Because he had just sensed Son Goku engaging in battle and erupting with the power of a Super Saiyan 3, he had been quite intrigued.
But he hadn't expected that, only a short while later, he would sense an even more formidable power emerge.
"It seems an even more impressive fellow has appeared," Vegeta said with a smirk.
Returning to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Ye Ming had completed his transformation into a Super Saiyan 1, and Son Goku felt the terrifying weight of Ye Ming's power.
"Is he really this strong at just the first stage of a Super Saiyan?"
Son Goku was drenched in sweat from the power before him, as it had been a long time since he had felt such pressure.
But Son Goku did not retreat; instead, he grew even more excited, his fighting spirit soaring as he said, "Ye Ming, let's continue!"
Ye Ming nodded as well: "Come, let us finish the battle we started."
As they spoke, Son Goku suddenly lunged toward Ye Ming.
In a flash, he stepped back behind Ye Ming and threw a punch.
But Ye Ming had long since tracked his movement and returned the favor with a punch of his own.
BOOM!!!
A violent shockwave erupted within the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Those outside felt the intense tremors, which continued to spread to every corner of the Earth.
Piccolo and the others were struck with terror. "If they keep fighting like this, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and Kami's Lookout will be destroyed. We must make them stop immediately."
Dende also knew the consequences if this didn't end at once, so he immediately used his telepathy to transmit a message to those inside the chamber: "Goku, Ye Ming, if you don't end this battle now, our Kami's Lookout and the Hyperbolic Time Chamber will be destroyed."
Hearing Dende's message, Goku and Ye Ming were instantly struck by the gravity of the situation. They knew the fluctuations from their battle were too intense and could indeed destroy Kami's Lookout.
At this moment, Goku said to Ye Ming, "How about we settle this with one final move?"
"That is exactly what I was thinking!" Ye Ming nodded.
They moved to opposite ends of the chamber. Son Goku assumed the stance to gather a Kamehameha, while Ye Ming prepared his own ultimate technique.
As they condensed their energy, Kami's Lookout began to shake violently.
Suddenly, they each unleashed their strongest attack.
BOOM!!!
They poured 100% of their power into the clash. It was clear that Ye Ming was gradually gaining the upper hand; even the legendary Kamehameha, which had never lost a beam struggle, was not falling behind.
Suddenly, Ye Ming increased his energy output, while Son Goku had reached his limit.
With a loud bang, the energy pierced through the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and reached the outside, creating a massive explosion.
Had Ye Ming not shifted the trajectory of the energy wave at the last second, it would have struck Son Goku directly, likely causing severe injury.
After the beam struggle, Son Goku collapsed to the ground, exhausted. His clothes were shredded, and he panted heavily, saying in a weak voice, "Ye Ming, you win. I didn't expect that I would still lose."
Ye Ming suddenly deactivated his Saiyan form and flashed to Son Goku's side.
"It is thanks to you that I have made such great progress. I must thank you. Are you alright?" Ye Ming asked, helping Son Goku up.
"I'm fine, just severely drained of stamina. I'll be okay after a rest," Son Goku said, looking somewhat disheveled.
"I hope that once I've recovered, or once my strength has broken through again, we can fight once more," Son Goku said.
"Of course, I am ready whenever you are."
Suddenly, they both burst into laughter.
At this time, Ye Ming helped Son Goku out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, where many people had gathered.
Ye Ming saw Piccolo, Dende, Master Roshi, Son Gohan, Vegeta, and Tien Shinhan...
Seeing his injured father, Son Gohan immediately ran over: "Are you alright, Dad?"
As he spoke, Son Gohan stuffed a Senzu Bean into Son Goku's mouth.
Son Goku swallowed it, and in an instant, all his stamina was restored.
He smiled at the group and said, "Sorry about that. I met a friend today and wanted to spar with him. I didn't expect his strength to be this great, and things ended up like this."
At this point, everyone noticed Ye Ming standing next to Son Goku, and they clearly sensed the immense power radiating from him.
Son Goku had been injured and completely drained of stamina, yet they couldn't sense any sign of injury or exhaustion from Ye Ming at all.
Ye Ming said to everyone in a friendly manner, "Hello everyone, my name is Ye Ming. I am new here. I got to know Mr. Goku, and we came to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to spar. I didn't mean to cause such a commotion; I truly apologize."
Seeing that Ye Ming's attitude was so pleasant, they replied with smiles, "We are very happy to meet you, Ye Ming."
Despite this, there was one person standing with his arms crossed, looking at Ye Ming with a displeased expression.
That's right, this person was Vegeta!
"I am Vegeta. Are you the one who beat Kakarot into this state? I can tell you are very strong. How about you spar with me?" Vegeta said with an arrogant look on his face.
Just as Ye Ming was about to answer, Son Goku spoke up: "Vegeta, Ye Ming is very strong; you wouldn't be a match for him either."
Vegeta said with a look of defiance: "We won't know until we fight."
Son Goku looked at the stubborn Vegeta and felt speechless.
Ye Ming said: "We can find a time to spar later. To be honest, I didn't get to fight to my heart's content this time either."
Vegeta replied arrogantly: "Fine, we can find a chance to have a go."
At this moment, Ye Ming added: "No, I mean me fighting both of you at once. You two can use any method you like to challenge me."
Vegeta raised an eyebrow and said with a look of annoyance: "Isn't it a bit too arrogant for you to challenge both of us alone?"
At this point, Son Goku pushed Vegeta aside.
Son Goku whispered: "This guy's strength is too great. Perhaps if we join forces, we might have a chance. This is our hope for reaching the next level of power."
Vegeta swatted his hand away and said: "I would never fight side-by-side with you!"
But just then, Ye Ming interjected: "If you don't join forces with Son Goku, I won't fight you."
Upon hearing this, Vegeta's veins nearly popped.
"You..." Vegeta said, clenching his fists.
Vegeta wanted to say something harsh, but he didn't, because he wasn't stupid. He knew the gap between him and Ye Ming; if Kakarot had been beaten like that, he wouldn't fare any better.
Vegeta said with a look of displeasure: "Fine, but you cannot go back on your word."
"Of course, I am ready at any time."
Hearing this, Vegeta regained his smile. Fighting against the strong was his life's goal, followed by surpassing them.
However, what he didn't know was that this was a person he could never surpass, but he himself remained unaware, forever maintaining that pride of his.
The reason Ye Ming did this was because he had received a system notification: Please spar with Son Goku and Vegeta and defeat them. Reward: Super Saiyan 2 Full Power and Kaioken.
Hearing the contents of this reward, he had no choice but to spar with Vegeta and Son Goku simultaneously.
"The aftermath of our battle will be too great; we certainly cannot fight on Earth. Do you have any good places in mind?" Ye Ming asked.
Vegeta looked at Son Goku, who scratched his head, a flash of insight in his eyes as he said: "We can go to the Realm of the Gods. It won't suffer massive destruction there."
Upon hearing this, Vegeta nodded, as he and Son Goku had previously destroyed Majin Buu in the Realm of the Gods; it was indeed much sturdier than Earth.
Ye Ming feigned ignorance: "What kind of place is the Realm of the Gods?"
"It's where the deities live, where the Supreme Kai resides. In short, just follow us and you'll see," Son Goku said with a chuckle.
"Alright, fine, I'll take your word for it. Let's set off in three days," Ye Ming replied with a smile.
