A man about 1.85 meters tall, wearing blue jeans and a white tank top, walked out of a three-meter-tall, greenish-blue gate.
The man walked up to Son Goku, smiled, and said, "Long time no see, Kakarot!"
"Haha, it's been two years for you, but only one year for me."
Son Goku smiled at Lei Chen as he spoke.
Lei Chen nodded and said directly, "Kakarot, I don't think you came here just to say this to me, did you?"
When Lei Chen heard those words, Son Goku's expression changed. He looked at Lei Chen intently, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"Sure!"
Lei Chen nodded. He did want to find someone to test just how strong he was now.
A dazzling golden light burst from Lei Chen. Lightning coiled around him like a dragon, and his aura surged higher and higher. Golden lightning crackled around him, the sky itself changing color as bolts flashed overhead.
Lei Chen's golden hair stood even taller and grew thicker than before. Arcs of electricity flickered around him, his face tense and cold, while his aura settled into a steady state.
Super Saiyan 2, Lei Chen's battle power: 100 billion.
"You're going straight to Super Saiyan 2?"
Though Son Goku said that, he didn't dare let his guard down. Without transforming, he couldn't beat Lei Chen.
After transforming, Lei Chen felt different to Son Goku. Before, Lei Chen had seemed unfathomable; now, he felt almost ordinary.
That was because Son Goku couldn't sense any of Lei Chen's aura at all. That was what made Lei Chen so unnerving.
What kind of opponent was the most frightening? Naturally, one whose strength you couldn't judge—whether they were strong or weak.
A golden light radiated from Son Goku. His hair turned gold and stood upright, while arcs of electricity flickered around him. His expression became cold and tense, and his power surged to 220 billion—twice Lei Chen's.
At that moment, Lei Chen attacked.
Lei Chen threw a punch at Son Goku, sending a huge burst of golden light hurtling toward him.
Son Goku's expression flickered with surprise—not for any other reason than that Lei Chen was moving faster than he'd imagined. Lei Chen's speed was almost on par with his own.
But Son Goku quickly recovered. He had fought countless opponents, especially during his time in the Other World. What kind of opponent hadn't he encountered?
Bang!
Just as Lei Chen's fist was about to hit him, Son Goku ducked beneath it, then pressed forward instead of retreating and punched at Lei Chen.
Boom!
In the end, Son Goku's fist collided with Lei Chen's.
A thunderous boom rang across the sky. Invisible waves of energy spread outward from the two of them, and a burst of golden light exploded at the same time.
The entire Earth trembled.
Son Goku and Lei Chen were both forced back, but Lei Chen retreated farther than Son Goku. Lei Chen was clearly much weaker than Son Goku in terms of strength.
Lei Chen stopped three or four hundred meters away in the sky. He quickly brought his hands together in a cup shape and held them at his waist. A golden ball of energy gathered in his palms as he fixed his gaze on Son Goku.
"Is that the Kamehameha?"
Seeing Lei Chen's hand position, Son Goku immediately recognized that he was using the Kamehameha.
Son Goku watched Lei Chen intently. Lei Chen was powerful, so he didn't dare underestimate him in the slightest.
On Earth, Lei Ge said to Son Goku, "Kakarot, let's see whether your Super Saiyan Blue is stronger or my Super Saiyan 4!" Lei Ge roared as a layer of red fur covered his body, and his hair began to change again.
