Ye Ming smiled at Son Goku. "In this form, your power really has increased far more than it did as a Super Saiyan Second Stage."
"But during our fight just now, my power gradually increased too, and I mastered a new form."
As he finished speaking, Son Goku's expression suddenly grew serious. Clearly, he knew Ye Ming had learned to transform into a Super Saiyan during their fight.
Without warning, Ye Ming let out a fierce roar. Lightning crackled around him, his hair gradually turned golden, and energy surged from his body.
This power was even greater than that of the Super Saiyan Third Stage. The people outside sensed it and realized that it didn't belong to Son Goku.
They were stunned. This unknown Saiyan was far more terrifyingly powerful than they had imagined.
The power shocked Vegeta—the Saiyan Prince—as he trained in the Gravity Chamber.
He had sensed Son Goku fighting someone earlier and unleashing the power of the Super Saiyan Third Stage. That had piqued his interest.
But he hadn't expected that, only a short while later, he would sense power even greater than Son Goku's.
"Looks like an even stronger guy has appeared," Vegeta said with a smile.
Back in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Ye Ming had completed his transformation into a Super Saiyan First Stage. Son Goku sensed the terrifying power Ye Ming was giving off.
"He's this strong even in just the first Saiyan stage?"
The power before him made Son Goku break into a sweat. He hadn't felt this kind of pressure in a long time.
But Son Goku didn't back down. Instead, he grew even more excited and said, his fighting spirit blazing, "Ye Ming, let's keep going!"
Ye Ming nodded. "Come on. Let's finish the fight we started."
As he spoke, Son Goku suddenly charged at Ye Ming.
In a flash, he sidestepped behind Ye Ming and threw a punch.
But Ye Ming had already read his movements and returned the blow with a punch of his own.
Boom!!!
A tremendous shockwave reverberated through the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. The people outside felt the violent tremor too, and it continued to spread to every corner of Earth.
Piccolo and the others were horrified. "If they keep fighting like this, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and Kami's Lookout will both be destroyed. We have to make them stop!"
Dende knew what would happen if they didn't end this immediately. He quickly sent a message telepathically into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. "Goku, Ye Ming, if you don't stop fighting, our Lookout and the Hyperbolic Time Chamber will be destroyed!"
Hearing Dende's message, Goku and Ye Ming realized they were in trouble. They knew the shockwaves from their fight were too powerful and could destroy the Lookout.
At that moment, Goku said to Ye Ming, "How about we settle this with one final move?"
"I was thinking the same thing!" Ye Ming nodded.
They moved apart. Son Goku took up a stance to gather energy for a Kamehameha, while Ye Ming prepared his own ultimate attack.
As they gathered energy, the Lookout shook violently.
Suddenly, they unleashed their strongest attacks.
Boom!!!
They were both using one hundred percent of their power. Ye Ming gradually gained the upper hand. Even against the legendary Kamehameha, which had never lost a beam struggle, he was holding his own.
Then Ye Ming increased his output, while Son Goku was already running on fumes.
With a bang, the energy blasted through the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and burst outside with a tremendous roar.
If Ye Ming hadn't redirected the beam at the last moment, it would have struck Son Goku and left him seriously injured.
After the beam struggle, Son Goku collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted. His clothes were torn, and he gasped for breath as he said weakly, "Ye Ming, you win. I can't believe I lost after all."
Ye Ming suddenly powered down and flashed to Son Goku's side.
"Thanks to you, I've made so much progress. I should be thanking you. Are you all right?" Ye Ming asked as he helped Son Goku up.
"I'm fine. I've just used up a lot of energy. I'll be okay after a little rest," Son Goku said, looking rather battered.
"After I've recovered, or if I get stronger, I hope we can fight again," Son Goku said.
"Of course. I'm always up for it."
Suddenly, they both burst out laughing.
Then Ye Ming helped Son Goku out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. A large crowd had gathered outside.
Ye Ming saw Piccolo, Dende, Master Roshi, Son Gohan, Vegeta, and Tien Shinhan among them...
When Son Gohan saw his injured father, he immediately ran over. "Are you okay, Dad?"
As he spoke, Son Gohan put a Senzu Bean into Son Goku's mouth.
Son Goku swallowed it, and in an instant, all his energy was restored.
He smiled at everyone. "Sorry about that. I met a new friend today and wanted to spar with him. I didn't realize he was so strong, and, well, this happened."
Then everyone noticed Ye Ming standing beside Son Goku. They could clearly sense the immense power he possessed.
Son Goku was injured and completely drained, but Ye Ming didn't seem hurt or tired at all.
Ye Ming greeted everyone warmly. "Hello, I'm Ye Ming. I'm new around here, and after meeting Mr. Goku, I came to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to spar with him. I didn't expect to cause such a commotion. I'm really sorry for the trouble."
Seeing how friendly Ye Ming was, everyone smiled and replied, "We're happy to meet you too, Ye Ming."
Even so, one person stood with his arms crossed, glaring at Ye Ming with obvious displeasure.
That person was, of course, Vegeta!
"I'm Vegeta. Are you the one who beat Kakarot up like this? I can tell you're strong. How about a match with me?" Vegeta asked arrogantly.
Ye Ming was about to answer, but Son Goku spoke first. "Vegeta, Ye Ming is really strong. You wouldn't stand a chance against him."
Vegeta retorted, clearly unconvinced. "We won't know until we fight."
Son Goku looked at the stubborn Vegeta and could only shake his head in exasperation.
Ye Ming said, "We can find a time to spar. To be honest, I didn't get to fight to my heart's content this time either."
Vegeta replied haughtily, "Sure. We'll find a time to fight."
Then Ye Ming added, "No. I'll fight both of you at once. You can challenge me however you like."
Vegeta raised an eyebrow, looking irritated. "You think you can take on both of us by yourself? Aren't you being a little too arrogant?"
At that, Son Goku pushed Vegeta away.
Son Goku whispered, "He's incredibly strong. If we team up, we might have a chance. This is our chance to get stronger."
Vegeta slapped his hand away. "I'm not teaming up with you!"
But then Ye Ming cut in. "If you don't team up with Son Goku, I won't fight either of you."
Vegeta nearly popped a vein at that.
"You..." Vegeta said, clenching his fist.
He wanted to threaten Ye Ming, but the words wouldn't come. He wasn't stupid; he knew how much stronger Ye Ming was. Kakarot had been beaten up that badly, and he wouldn't fare any better.
Vegeta said, looking displeased, "Fine. But you'd better keep your word."
"Of course. I'm ready whenever you are."
Only then did Vegeta smile again. Fighting strong opponents was his life's goal—and then he wanted to surpass them.
What he didn't know was that Ye Ming was someone he would never be able to surpass. But Vegeta had no idea, and he would always hold on to his pride.
Ye Ming had made this offer because he had received a mission notification from the system: Host, spar with Son Goku and Vegeta and defeat them. Reward: Super Saiyan Second Stage Full Power and Kaioken.
There was no way he could pass up such a reward, so he had to spar with Vegeta and Son Goku together.
"Our fight's shockwaves are too powerful. We can't fight on Earth. Do you know a good place?" Ye Ming asked.
Vegeta turned to Son Goku. Son Goku scratched his head, then his eyes lit up. "We can go to the Realm of the Gods. We won't cause much damage there."
Vegeta nodded. He and Son Goku had defeated Majin Buu in the Realm of the Gods before, and it was certainly sturdier than Earth.
Ye Ming pretended not to know. "What kind of place is the Realm of the Gods?"
"It's where the gods live. There's a God of Destruction there. Anyway, just come with us," Son Goku said with a cheerful smile.
"All right, then. We'll do it your way. Let's set out in three days," Ye Ming replied with a smile.
