The Awakening of the Super Saiyan

Even though he had already beaten Cabba into such a miserable state, Vegeta showed no intention of stopping.

Punch after punch, he knocked him from the air to the ground, only to grab him and hurl him back up again, showing absolutely no mercy!

"Bang!"

Cabba's body slammed heavily into the arena floor, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Immediately after, Vegeta grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, hoisted him up, and met his face with another heavy blow.

With nosebleed mixing with the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, Cabba's face was swollen beyond recognition; his eyes were barely open, and he could only emit weak, whimpering sounds.

In the Universe 7 spectator stands, Bulma covered her mouth with both hands, her brows tightly furrowed, her face full of distress:

"That Vegeta, isn't he being too ruthless? If he keeps hitting him like this, that boy is going to be killed!"

Although she knew Vegeta had a proud and arrogant nature, she never expected him to be so brutal toward an opponent who had no power to fight back.

Trunks sat beside Bulma, looking equally bewildered:

"Dad... why is he doing this? Cabba doesn't even have the strength to resist anymore."

In his memory, although his father was strict, he had never tortured an opponent like this.

Yamcha clicked his tongue and muttered under his breath:

"Could it be that training with Lord Lin Fan lately has broken his brain? How did he become so vicious, like he's turned evil..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt several icy glares sweep over him from the side.

Piccolo glared at him, and Son Goku also frowned as he looked his way; Yamcha panicked, quickly shutting his mouth, not daring to speak nonsense again.

"You don't need to worry."

Piccolo withdrew his gaze and said slowly:

"Vegeta isn't the type to torture an opponent for no reason. He must have his own intentions for doing this."

Son Goku nodded, a look of realization dawning on his face:

"That's right! Vegeta is trying to force Cabba to explode with power!"

"Saiyans only have a chance to break their limits when they are in extreme rage or on the verge of death. He is trying to help Cabba transform into a Super Saiyan!"

He himself had only transformed into a Super Saiyan for the first time after Krillin was killed by Frieza, triggered by extreme rage, so he naturally understood the key to this breakthrough.

In the Universe 6 spectator stands, Champa's brows were knotted, his face full of confusion:

"What on earth is this Vegeta playing at?"

He pointed a chubby finger at Vegeta on the arena:

"If you want to kill him, just kill him! Why waste time torturing him like this? Do they have some deep-seated grudge against each other?"

In his view, when dealing with an opponent with a massive gap in strength, simply erasing them was the most efficient method; there was no need to be so troublesome.

Vados stood beside Champa with a faint smile on her face, her eyes filled with wisdom:

"Lord Champa, look a little closer."

"Although Vegeta's attacks look fierce, every single one avoids the vital points; he has no intention of actually killing Cabba."

She paused, then continued:

"He is provoking Cabba, trying to make him break through his own limits. A Saiyan's potential is often ignited in desperate situations."

Champa blinked, scratching his head:

"Igniting potential? There's such a thing? You can get stronger just by getting beaten up?"

He clearly didn't understand this method of cultivation.

On the arena, Vegeta kicked Cabba hard in the chest once more.

Cabba flew like a meteor, slamming into the center of the arena, which was instantly covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

"Trash! With just this much strength, you dare to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament?"

Vegeta dove down, grabbed Cabba by the hair, and pressed his head into the gravel-covered ground, grinding it forcefully.

The "swish-swish" sound accompanied by Cabba's screams echoed throughout the stadium; his forehead and cheeks were cut by the gravel, and blood stained the ground.

Perhaps the extreme pain brought Cabba back to his senses; he struggled to resist, but he had no strength left and could only let Vegeta do as he pleased.

Vegeta dragged his head all the way toward the edge of the arena, sending gravel flying into the air.

Just as Cabba's body was about to cross the boundary of the arena, Vegeta suddenly stopped.

He hoisted Cabba up violently and smashed a fist into his face:

"Get up!"

Cabba's body was sent flying again, tumbling through the air several times before crashing to the ground, unable to climb back up.

Like a discarded, broken toy, he was left lying in the center of the arena.

"I... I surrender..."

Cabba lay on the ground, using his last ounce of strength to squeeze the three words through his teeth, his voice so weak it was almost inaudible.

The referee watched on, trembling with fear, and upon hearing the words "I surrender," he hurriedly rushed forward.

Just as he was about to raise his arm to announce the result of the match, he locked eyes with the gaze Vegeta cast his way.

That gaze was filled with such icy killing intent that it felt as if, should he dare to announce the result, he would be obliterated the very next second.

The referee shuddered violently, cold sweat instantly soaking his back, and he quickly lowered his head, pretending he had heard nothing and seen nothing as he quietly retreated to the side.

Vegeta walked toward Cabba step by step, bent down to grab his collar, and hoisted him up by sheer force.

Cabba's body hung limp, his head drooping powerlessly, with only his chest rising and falling in weak, shallow breaths.

"You actually dare to surrender?"

Vegeta's voice was as piercing as shards of ice, his eyes brimming with fury.

"A Saiyan can be defeated, but they must never surrender! A cowardly piece of trash like you is not fit to live in this world!"

His other hand slowly raised, a golden energy sphere gathering in his palm.

The dazzling light illuminated the entire arena, and the energy fluctuations made the surrounding air tremble.

"I'll kill you right now!"

There was not a shred of emotion in Vegeta's voice as the light of the energy sphere grew increasingly intense.

"Not only that, but after the match ends, I will personally go to Universe 6."

"I will completely destroy the planet where you Saiyans live, slaughter your family and your kin, and make every Saiyan as cowardly as you disappear from the universe!"

These words exploded in Cabba's mind like a thunderclap!

Destroy the planet? Slaughter his kin?

This was something he absolutely could not tolerate!

The reason he wanted to become stronger was to protect his planet and the people around him, yet now, Vegeta was threatening to destroy everything he held dear!

His eyes, which had already closed in despair, snapped open!

There was no longer any of the previous cowardice or pain in his gaze; in its place was a raging, burning fury and icy killing intent!

A powerful force suddenly surged from within Cabba's body, instantly sweeping across the entire arena!

"What?"

Vegeta was slightly stunned, and immediately felt a powerful force erupt from the Cabba in his grip.

Cabba actually shoved him away and simultaneously swatted the energy sphere from his hand.

The energy sphere exploded in mid-air, forming a massive golden mushroom cloud, and the shockwave caused the entire stadium to shake.

Vegeta took a few steps back to steady himself, looking at the Cabba before him, his lips curling not into a scowl, but a wicked smirk:

"It's finally here, is it? Now that's more like it."

The reason he had tortured Cabba so ruthlessly was precisely to ignite the rage deep within his heart.

Only through extreme fury could a Saiyan who had never transformed before break through his limits.

Golden light grew increasingly dense around Cabba's body.

Then, a massive amount of golden aura broke through the limits of his body, erupting like a volcanic explosion and shooting straight into the sky!

His hair and eyebrows slowly turned golden under the shroud of the light.

His eyes became incredibly sharp, and the aura on his body soared, far exceeding his previous limits!

Super Saiyan!

Under these desperate circumstances, Cabba had successfully broken through his limits and transformed into a Super Saiyan!

"Th-that is...?"

In the Universe 7 spectator stands, Yamcha's eyes widened as he pointed at Cabba on the arena, shouting in utter shock:

"A Super Saiyan! He actually succeeded in transforming!"

Bulma also lowered the hand she had been using to cover her mouth, her face filled with disbelief:

"I never expected Vegeta's method to actually work; this child has really become a Super Saiyan!"

Trunks jumped up in excitement:

"Amazing! Dad was right after all; when Saiyans are filled with rage, they really can unleash such powerful strength!"

Piccolo nodded, a gratified smile appearing on his face:

"It wasn't in vain, all of Vegeta's painstaking efforts; this child has lived up to his expectations."

Son Goku pumped his fist in excitement:

"Great! There's another Super Saiyan! Once the match is over, I definitely have to spar with him!"

In the Universe 6 spectator stands, there was an uproar.

"A Super Saiyan! Lord Cabba has transformed into a Super Saiyan!"

"Incredible! Our Universe 6 has a Super Saiyan too!"

"As expected of Lord Cabba, he truly didn't let us down!"

Caulifla's eyes shone brightly as she stared fixedly at Cabba on the arena, her hands clenched into tight fists, her face filled with envy and longing.

"Damn it! To think he beat me to it!"

She gritted her teeth, her gaze becoming even more determined.

"But it doesn't matter. When it's my turn to step onto the stage, I'll make sure Vegeta forces me just like that. I must become even stronger than him!"

Champa widened his round eyes, his face full of shock and bewilderment.

"Th-that's it? He just transformed?"

He turned his head to look at Vados and asked in confusion, "Vados, are all Saiyans like this? As long as they keep getting beaten up, they can become a Super Saiyan?"

Vados held back a smile and nodded.

"You could say that, Lord Champa."

"Rage is the key for a Saiyan to break through their limits, and what Vegeta just did was exactly what forced Cabba into a state of extreme fury."

"So that's how it is!"

Champa had a sudden realization, slapping his thigh with an excited grin.

"Such a simple thing, why didn't I think of it sooner!"

He began to calculate in his mind: once he returned, he would definitely round up all the Saiyans in Universe 6 and give them a sound thrashing so they could all get a taste of this experience.

By then, Universe 6 would have a whole bunch of Super Saiyans!

With so many Super Saiyans, Universe 6 would surely become the strongest of all the universes, and then he would finally be able to hold his head high in front of Beerus!

Forget it, I'm going to try it when I get back, I absolutely have to try it!
