Son Goku noticed it too.
"Heh heh, looks like you're nothing special after all."
Having firmly seized the upper hand with a single punch, he couldn't help but feel smug.
"Whoosh!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Son Goku surged forward again, closing in on Soya at blinding speed, intent on pressuring him with a barrage of attacks.
As long as he applied enough pressure, surely Soya would have no choice but to transform into a Super Saiyan?
Son Goku's battle IQ was remarkably high; he was always at his most focused when in the heat of combat.
Seeing Son Goku approach, a flash of light crossed Soya's eyes. "Although your strength has increased significantly and I am no match for you in my base form, you aren't yet strong enough to defeat me with ease! It's merely a combat power of around 120 billion, after all!"
Soya spoke with absolute clarity on this point.
Of course, he also wanted to experience what it felt like to face someone with a higher combat power than his own.
With a low roar, Son Goku lunged forward, hurtling toward Soya at breakneck speed.
Both of them were incredibly fast, and in an instant, they collided.
Clenching their fists, they both threw heavy punches at each other with perfect, unspoken synchronization.
"Bang!"
A violent boom echoed out, and a shockwave rippled wildly from the point of impact, spreading in all directions.
The collision between the two was intense.
If the situation had been one-sided before, it was now a perfectly matched duel.
There was even a faint trend of Soya being suppressed by Son Goku!
"Bang!"
"Bang, bang!!"
"Bang, bang, bang!!!"
After the first strike, both Son Goku and Soya vanished, only to reappear and collide once more.
Neither held anything back, pushing their speed and strength to the absolute limit.
Time slipped away, and in the span of just a few breaths, Soya and Son Goku had clashed dozens of times.
Each exchange produced a thunderous roar, throwing the qi of heaven and earth into further chaos.
"Bang!"
Following another collision, Soya and Son Goku pulled back to put some distance between them.
At this moment, their expressions were identical—both were brimming with excitement.
"Haha, I never imagined you could hold your own against me in your base form; this truly exceeds my expectations! It seems if I don't push myself a little harder, I really won't be able to force you to transform into a Super Saiyan!"
Son Goku looked at Soya with great seriousness.
"To be honest, I really can't wait anymore!"
With that, Son Goku brought his hands together at his right side.
"Ka..."
Qi began to condense frantically between his palms.
"Me..."
As the syllable fell, the qi within Son Goku's body erupted.
"Kamehameha!"
Soya's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at Son Goku.
He knew exactly what Son Goku was about to do.
This was the signature technique of the Turtle School.
Its power was immense.
Watching Son Goku unleash the Kamehameha, Soya didn't hesitate for a second; he immediately mirrored the exact same stance.
"Ka..."
"Me..."
"Ha..."
"Me..."
Soya enunciated each syllable clearly, and a sphere of light appeared between his hands, radiating a terrifying power.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
The same technique, I can use it too!
Son Goku was the same; a ball of light appeared between his hands as he fixed a sharp gaze upon Soya.
"I never expected you to know the Kamehameha as well. This really comes as a surprise."
Son Goku spoke as he looked at Soya.
"HAME!!!"
As the words fell, Son Goku finally roared out the last syllable.
The moment that final syllable dropped, Son Goku thrust his hands forward violently.
"BOOM!"
A massive energy wave surged from Son Goku's hands, hurtling toward Soya at blinding speed with overwhelming power.
"HAME!!!"
Soya spoke in unison.
His movements mirrored Son Goku's, even the timing of his strike identical.
The instant the word left his lips, the Kamehameha in his hands surged forth madly, rushing headlong to meet Son Goku's own.
The two Kamehamehas closed the distance rapidly, each possessing a terrifying power capable of destroying everything in its path.
Vegeta watched the scene intently, knowing that this was a battle he could not participate in; he could only watch.
"BOOM!"
In a flash, the two Kamehamehas collided.
The moment they struck, a violent roar echoed out. Amidst the swirling storm, the two energy waves erupted with immense force.
This power was truly too terrifying; the mere collision was beyond imagination.
The two forces clashed for about five seconds before Son Goku's Kamehameha finally surged with even greater intensity.
"Break through!"
With a roar, more of Son Goku's internal energy poured into the Kamehameha.
With this infusion of power, coupled with the fact that Son Goku's base strength already surpassed Soya's, Soya's Kamehameha was instantly shattered by Son Goku's.
"HA!"
Son Goku bellowed, and as Soya's Kamehameha collapsed, he was immediately engulfed by Son Goku's.
Massive power radiated from the blast, and Soya's complexion turned slightly pale.
The power of Son Goku's strike had indeed exceeded his expectations.
"I never thought you could push me to this point; it truly surprises me. You wanted to see my Super Saiyan form? Since you have such a desire and have worked so hard for it, I shall grant your wish."
Soya spoke slowly.
He raised his right hand and waved it, instantly summoning a storm that shattered the remaining power of the Kamehameha. He stood straight, looking at Son Goku with a calm expression.
He had merely unleashed a fraction of his power, yet he had effortlessly dispersed Son Goku's Kamehameha.
Beyond his surprise, Son Goku felt an even greater sense of excitement.
"So, you've finally decided to transform?"
Excitement shone in Son Goku's eyes. Even though he knew that once Soya transformed into a Super Saiyan, he would have no chance of victory, his intense curiosity drove him to see just how strong Soya would become.
Only then could his own fighting spirit be ignited to even greater heights!
"You are the first to witness my transformation. I hope you don't regret it!"
