"Shall we continue, Prince Vegeta?" Reiz wore a smile, his expression bright and radiant.
He remained blindfolded, yet he turned accurately toward Vegeta's position.
"You... how on earth are you doing this?" Vegeta's speech was slightly stuttered; he asked with wide eyes, his gaze filled with frustration and confusion.
"Just stop thinking about anything, let your body merge with nature, and let your senses perceive the danger from the outside world. That is all," Reiz explained simply, his tone indifferent.
"What kind of nonsensical training method is that?" Vegeta frowned, then snorted with great indignation. "A skill like yours, besides just dodging, cannot inflict any damage on your opponent!"
"I don't just dodge!" Reiz chuckled.
"If you have the guts, face me head-on!" Vegeta shouted, resorting to provocation.
"Fine, then I shall face you head-on this time," Reiz nodded.
"You said it yourself, I hope you don't regret it!" The corners of Vegeta's mouth curled into a faint arc, a flash of cunning in his eyes.
"Come on!" Reiz beckoned to Vegeta once more.
Vegeta did not hesitate; he took a deep breath and channeled all the remaining energy within his body.
His aura climbed once again, and he shot forward like a cannonball, rushing rapidly toward Reiz's position and swinging a powerful punch at him.
This punch condensed all his strength; the wind whistled, and the momentum was astonishing.
Watching Vegeta's fist barrel toward him.
Although Reiz could not see, his perception clearly tracked the trajectory of that punch.
He merely tilted his body slightly and nimbly dodged it.
"Smack!"
The next moment, Reiz swiped his hand, striking the back of Vegeta's neck squarely.
The blow looked casual, yet it was incredibly precise, the force perfectly measured.
Vegeta's pupils contracted sharply, and his mind went blank in an instant.
"Thud!"
Vegeta collapsed face-first to the ground, his eyes rolled back, and he was knocked out cold on the spot.
The entire training room fell into a silence so profound one could hear a pin drop.
"Oops, my apologies, I accidentally used too much force," Reiz laughed sheepishly, his tone tinged with regret.
After laughing, Reiz noticed Vegeta wasn't reacting, lying motionless on the floor, so he reached up and tore the cloth from his eyes.
"Uh... is he out?" Reiz scratched his head, looking at the unconscious Vegeta on the ground, feeling somewhat awkward.
Raditz, Nappa, and the others stood dumbfounded, staring in shock at Reiz and the fainted Vegeta, their jaws nearly hitting the floor.
That was Prince Vegeta!
Prince Vegeta, with a combat power of 15,000!
Knocked out with a single slap just like that?
"How about this, you all come at me together," Reiz called out to Raditz, Nappa, and the others, a eager smile on his face.
The corners of the mouths of Raditz, Nappa, and the other four twitched violently; they hurriedly waved their hands in a panic, shaking their heads like rattles.
Let us all come at you together?
Are you joking?
With your combat power, even if we added ours together, it wouldn't match yours.
Wouldn't going up there just be asking for a beating?
"Um... Reiz... let's just leave it at that," Nappa said hurriedly, waving his hands and taking a step back.
"Yeah... you're so strong... even if we all attacked together, we couldn't beat you," Raditz agreed, nodding, a chill running down his spine as he recalled Vegeta's miserable state.
"Even Prince Vegeta is no match for you... our combat power is simply too low," Carnegie added, shrinking his neck.
"It's fine, I'll blindfold myself and won't fight back at all!" Reiz smiled and wrapped the cloth around his eyes again, his movements crisp and efficient.
Raditz and the others were speechless, exchanging glances.
You just used a blindfold to easily defeat Prince Vegeta.
If we go up there, we're still just asking for a beating!
"How about this: whoever manages to hit me gets 10,000 Space Coins," Reiz said, pulling a blue coin from his pocket and tossing it in his hand.
The blue coin shimmered with a deep azure luster under the lights, stamped with the mark and denomination of the universal currency.
This blue coin was equivalent to 10,000 units of universal currency.
10,000 units—not a huge amount, but not insignificant either.
It was roughly equivalent to what 10,000 units could buy in Reiz's previous life.
Generally speaking, the logistics staff on Planet Vegeta had a monthly salary of at most 3,000 Space Coins.
Combatants had to make significant contributions to earn higher bonuses.
Now that hitting Reiz would earn them 10,000 Space Coins, Raditz and the others were quite tempted.
The gazes of the group fell in unison upon the coin in Reiz's hand, their eyes shimmering with greedy light.
"Are you sure you won't fight back?" Raditz rubbed his palms together, eager to try, the fear from moments ago already diluted by the prospect of money.
"Correct, I will absolutely not fight back." Reiz nodded slightly. "All of you, come at me together."
Raditz, Nappa, and the others exchanged glances, then looked at the blue coin in Reiz's hand and nodded one after another.
Heavy rewards attract brave men.
Besides, it was only about landing a single hit, not fighting for their lives.
Following this, Kuri stepped forward to carry the unconscious Vegeta out of the training room, placing him on a bench in the hallway so he could rest against the wall.
The next moment, Raditz, Nappa, Carnegie, Kuri, and Baru surrounded Reiz, assuming their combat stances.
The five of them stood in scattered positions, encircling Reiz from different angles with focused and tense expressions.
"We're starting, Reiz!" Raditz said, taking a deep breath to prepare himself.
"Come on!" Reiz nodded, relaxing his body and entering the state of no-mind once again.
The five of them rushed forward rapidly, launching fierce attacks on Reiz from various angles.
Raditz attacked from the front, Nappa from the right, Carnegie from the left, while Kuri and Baru circled to the rear; the five of them struck simultaneously, their fists and kicks falling like raindrops.
Reiz merely used the footwork of Ultra Instinct to nimbly dodge every one of their attacks.
His body moved like a fish, weaving freely through the encirclement of the five.
Sometimes side-stepping, sometimes bending, sometimes leaping—every movement avoided the attacks with perfect precision, as if he could predict the landing point of every fist and foot.
However, Reiz's Ultra Instinct had not yet reached the entry level.
Plus, there were simply too many of them.
There were five of them in total!
Furthermore, by launching attacks from different angles, they truly made it difficult for Reiz to dodge in time.
Only about a minute passed.
"Smack!"
Raditz spotted a gap and slammed a fist into Reiz's shoulder.
He hit him!
Raditz felt a surge of joy, but before he could even celebrate—
"Awoo..."
The next moment, only a miserable shriek from Raditz could be heard; he felt as if his fist were about to fracture, and his entire arm went numb.
