What's with your combat power?

"Of course, I have already mastered the method to become a Super Saiyan." Lu Fan nodded.

"Then tell me, what exactly is the method?" Vegeta asked hurriedly.

"No need to rush, let's leave this planet first," Lu Fan suggested.

"Hmph, why are you in such a hurry to leave Planet Vegeta?" Vegeta snorted. "And if it's really possible to become a Super Saiyan, why haven't you become one yourself? Why bring me along? Don't you want to be the strongest in the universe?"

"So much nonsense." Lu Fan shook his head and stepped directly in front of Vegeta.

"What are you doing?" Vegeta grunted.

"Bang!"

Lu Fan struck suddenly, landing a light palm strike on the back of Vegeta's neck.

Vegeta didn't even have time to react before he was hit.

The next moment, Vegeta's consciousness blurred, his body went limp, and he passed out on the spot.

Lu Fan stepped forward, grabbed Vegeta by his tail, and hoisted him up.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Fan flew into the sky, heading slowly toward the spaceship launch base.

It didn't take long for Lu Fan to arrive at the launch base, dragging Vegeta by his tail.

Seeing Lu Fan arrive at the base while dragging Vegeta by his tail like that, the staff members were all a bit stunned.

Is that His Highness the Prince?

Why would His Highness let his sparring partner grab his tail?

And His Highness looks rather limp and lifeless.

But that's normal, I suppose.

After all, once the tail is grabbed, one is bound to lose all strength.

"Give me a small spaceship; I'm taking His Highness the Prince out for training," Lu Fan called out.

The two staff members stared unblinkingly at Lu Fan, then at Prince Vegeta dangling in his hand.

"Uh, His Highness is training his tail," Lu Fan said with a smile. "After all, the tail is our Saiyan weakness; overcoming it early is a good thing."

The two staff members had a sudden realization.

As expected of His Highness the Prince.

Is he already working to overcome the weakness of his tail at such a young age?

We haven't even overcome our own weaknesses yet.

It's just, why does it look like His Highness has fainted?

But that's not the point anymore.

These two staff members both knew Lu Fan.

This Lu Fan was once a standout among the younger generation of Saiyans.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become Prince Vegeta's sparring partner.

It's a pity, though; in the last year, he has changed too much.

His combat power plummeted from 10,000 all the way down to... 200!

Damn!

This kid's combat power is only 200 now?

I remember it being around 1,000 just a while ago.

The Prince's sparring partner is completely washed up.

It seems the Prince can only use his sparring partner to toughen up his tail now.

"Alright, please wait a moment; I will arrange a spaceship immediately." The staff member didn't harbor any suspicions.

Just as the staff member finished speaking, several more youths walked over from a distance.

It was a five-person team.

Among them, one youth had a head as smooth as a billiard ball, without a single strand of hair.

Another youth had hair so long it reached nearly to his calves.

Lu Fan recognized both of these youths.

One was Nappa, and the other was Raditz.

"Hey? Lu Fan? Are you heading out too?" Raditz stepped forward and asked.

"Yeah, just going out for a spin," Lu Fan nodded.

"Is that... Prince Vegeta?" Raditz had already noticed the Vegeta being dragged behind him.

"His Highness is currently training to overcome the weakness of his tail, and he accidentally fainted," Lu Fan said with a smile.

"Hahaha, it seems the weakness of the tail isn't so easy to overcome after all," Raditz said, his mouth twitching.

If even Prince Vegeta could faint while training to overcome his tail's weakness.

I had better not try to train my own weakness.

It's simply asking for suffering.

Besides, there are too few aliens who even know about our Saiyan weakness.

Even if they did know, I wouldn't necessarily let them grab my tail.

Furthermore, if one of them actually managed to grab my tail, I could just cut it off myself.

Going through all that trouble to train away a weakness just isn't worth it.

"Where are you two planning to go?" Raditz asked again.

Lu Fan smiled but didn't say anything.

"Ah... I didn't mean anything by it, I just meant, would you like to team up with us?" Raditz proposed, his expression growing somewhat excited. "Heh heh, with you and Prince Vegeta joining, our team would definitely be like a tiger with wings, sweeping across the entire universe."

"Raditz, you don't know yet, do you? This Highness's sparring partner's combat power has already plummeted from 10,000 to 1,000... ptooey, I mean 200!" Nappa said, pressing the scouter on his eye, unable to stop himself from spitting toward Raditz.

Raditz: "..."

Raditz wiped his face.

"What are you doing, Nappa!" Raditz roared.

"I didn't mean to, I was just shocked by his combat power," Nappa said hurriedly.

"What? Your combat power dropped from 10,000 to 1,000? No, 200?" Raditz also checked his scouter and discovered that Lu Fan's combat power was indeed only 200.

"Mm-hmm, strange, isn't it?" Lu Fan smiled.

Raditz: "..."

"You'll get used to it," Lu Fan said with a laugh.

Raditz, Nappa, and the others were all left speechless.

You really are able to keep your cool.

"Lu Fan, the spaceship for you and the Prince is ready," a staff member said, approaching and greeting Lu Fan.

As he spoke, the staff member pointed toward a small spaceship ahead.

Lu Fan nodded slightly, then simply grabbed Vegeta by the tail, dragging him along the ground as he walked toward the spaceship.

Raditz: "..."

Nappa: "..."

The people present all wiped sweat from their brows after witnessing this scene.

Poor Prince Vegeta.

While you were unconscious, you were being used as a mop by your sparring partner.

"Honestly, for Lu Fan to have his combat power drop to 200 and still remain so calm, it's truly admirable," one of the youths sighed.

"He's probably just putting on a front," Nappa laughed.

"He looks calm on the surface, but he must be feeling terrible inside," Raditz shook his head. "Going from a genius to a failure is a massive blow."

"You're right," another youth nodded.

"Let's get going, too," Nappa suggested.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Fan's spaceship soared into the starry sky, quickly departing from Planet Vegeta.

Not long after, another small spaceship streaked across the sky, speeding off in a different direction.
