Vegeta's Bowed Request

BOOM!

High above in the sky.

The figures of Son Goku and Beerus collided, the resulting shockwave whipping the sea below into towering waves.

On the deck of the luxury cruise ship, everyone stared fixedly at the sky, not daring to even draw a full breath.

Beerus kept his hands behind his back, his eyes brimming with excitement.

He looked at the Son Goku before him, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"Not bad, not bad."

"This is finally starting to look a bit like a Super Saiyan God."

"Come!"

"Let me properly experience this so-called power of a god you possess!"

"Attack me with everything you have!"

Son Goku's lips curled upward, his face revealing a grin of eager anticipation.

He spread his feet slightly, settling into his most habitual combat stance.

He did not erupt with an aura.

He simply charged straight toward Beerus.

But the moment he took his first step.

Son Goku felt an uncontrollable surge of power erupting from within his body.

This power was simply too immense.

It was so strong that it exceeded his ability to control it.

The next second.

Son Goku's body shot forward uncontrollably, like an arrow released from a bowstring.

He flew dozens of meters away.

Only after spinning in the air several times did he manage to barely stabilize his form.

Son Goku looked down at his own hands, his face filled with astonishment.

"This..."

"Is this the power of a god?"

"To think that even controlling it is this difficult!"

High above in the sky.

Beerus watched Son Goku's disheveled state and couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.

"Hahaha!"

"It seems you haven't fully mastered this power yet."

"Son Goku!"

"Bring out your full strength!"

"Do not disappoint me!"

Upon hearing these words, Son Goku's gaze instantly sharpened.

He took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

"Alright!"

"Beerus!"

"Here I come!"

As the words fell.

A blue aura instantly erupted from Son Goku's body.

The aura soared into the sky.

It illuminated half the heavens.

He charged toward Beerus once more.

His speed reached the absolute limit.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived right in front of Beerus.

Son Goku clenched his fist and smashed it fiercely toward Beerus's face.

This punch contained the power of a Super Saiyan God.

Its might was infinite.

Yet, facing this punch, Beerus merely raised his palm with indifference.

A light block.

Bang!

Son Goku's fist was easily intercepted by Beerus's palm.

Immediately following.

Beerus exerted a slight force with his palm.

An invisible shockwave erupted in an instant.

Son Goku's body was sent reeling backward again, as if struck by a speeding truck.

He retreated a full dozen meters before finally steadying himself.

"Damn it!"

Son Goku gritted his teeth.

There was not a hint of discouragement on his face.

On the contrary, his fighting spirit burned even higher.

"Again!"

Son Goku shouted.

He charged toward Beerus once more.

For a time.

High above in the sky.

Two figures collided repeatedly.

They unleashed a series of earth-shattering roars.

The battle grew increasingly intense.

Down on the deck of the luxury cruise ship.

Everyone looked up at the battle in the sky, all of them left dumbfounded.

Bulma stood to the side, watching the fight above, the corners of her mouth curling upward slightly.

She turned to look at Whis and said with a smile.

"Mr. Whis."

"Would you like to try some of our Earth delicacies?"

"I guarantee, they are absolutely better than the food in your Realm of the Gods!"

Upon hearing the word "delicacies," Whis's eyes lit up instantly.

He nodded, a look of anticipation appearing on his face.

"Oh, yes, please."

"I have been wanting to taste them for a long time."

Bulma smiled faintly and waved at the waiters behind her.

Very quickly.

All kinds of delicacies were brought out.

There was roasted meat, cake, fruit juice, and a variety of snacks.

Whis stared at the food on the table, his eyes fixed in a wide-eyed gaze.

He picked up a piece of roasted meat and put it into his mouth.

The next second.

Whis's eyes widened into perfect circles.

"Wow!"

"This is delicious!"

"What kind of divine flavor is this!"

After saying that.

Whis began to eat frantically, like a starving wolf pouncing on its prey.

He let out satisfied exclamations between bites.

He had completely cast the battle in the sky to the back of his mind.

Lin Fan, Son Gohan, and the others stood at the edge of the cruise ship, looking up at the battle in the air.

Son Gohan watched the two figures colliding high above and couldn't help but turn his head toward Lin Fan.

"Mr. Lin Fan."

"Do you think my dad..."

"Can he defeat Beerus?"

"I feel that the power of the Super Saiyan God goes far beyond this!"

Lin Fan shook his head upon hearing Son Gohan's words.

He looked up at the two figures in the sky and spoke in a calm tone.

"The God of Destruction is not so easily defeated."

"Son Goku has only temporarily obtained a portion of the Super Saiyan God's power."

"It is simply impossible for him to overcome Beerus."

Lin Fan added to himself, inwardly.

"The reason I can surpass Beerus within three years..."

"...is thanks to the cheat-like body and bloodline of the Progenitor Saiyan."

"How could this last-minute, borrowed power of Son Goku..."

"...possibly be a match for Beerus?"

A trace of disappointment appeared on Son Gohan's face as he heard Lin Fan.

Just then.

A figure slowly walked over.

The person who arrived was none other than Vegeta.

At this moment, Vegeta had completely calmed down.

The shock and unwillingness from before were gone from his face.

In their place was an unprecedented sense of determination.

Vegeta walked straight up to Lin Fan.

He took a deep breath.

Then, he slowly lowered his proud head.

His tone became extremely respectful.

"Lord Lin Fan."

"I..."

"I want to ask for your help."

"Help me become stronger!"

As soon as Vegeta said this.

The people around them instantly erupted into an uproar.

Son Gohan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Krillin was completely stunned, the words stuck in his throat.

Master Roshi had just taken a sip of water, but upon hearing Vegeta's words, he spat it all out.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Wh... what?"

"That guy Vegeta is actually lowering his head to ask for help?"

"Did I hear that right?"

You have to understand.

Vegeta is the proud Prince of all Saiyans.

In his entire life, he had never lowered his head to anyone.

But now.

For the sake of becoming stronger, he had taken the initiative to bow his head to Lin Fan.

This was as rare as the sun rising in the west!

Lin Fan did not speak after hearing Vegeta's words.

He simply watched him quietly.

Seeing that Lin Fan did not respond, Vegeta steeled his heart.

He raised his voice again, his tone becoming even more respectful.

"Lord Lin Fan!"

"I beg you!"

"Please, grant my request!"

"I want to train by your side!"

"I want to become stronger!"

"I don't want to be left behind by others ever again!"

Vegeta thought to himself.

"I, Vegeta, have rarely begged anyone in my life."

"But this time, I must beg him."

"Although Whis is the master of Beerus."

"His strength is certainly immense."

"But he is not a Saiyan."

"Lord Lin Fan is the Progenitor Saiyan."

"Only he can truly help me elevate my strength."

"To become stronger, casting aside this bit of pride is completely worth it!"

Vegeta raised his head, his gaze fixed firmly on Lin Fan.

He waited for his answer.
