Goku's Invitation! Vegeta Can't Wait!

"Soya! Since we've finally run into each other, why don't we have a spar?

After all, the number of Saiyans is truly too small; meeting is fate. If you aren't willing to join our party, then let's just have a spar, shall we? What do you think?"

As a battle maniac, Son Goku looked at Soya, his eyes filled with anticipation.

For him, encountering a powerhouse—especially one as ridiculously strong as Soya—was something that made him incredibly excited.

Given Son Goku's personality, he naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.

"A spar?"

Soya looked down at Son Goku and smiled knowingly.

To be honest, he didn't really have much interest in sparring with Son Goku right now.

It was simply because he knew his own strength.

The main reason was that Son Goku's current strength was still too weak. One had to realize that at this stage, Son Goku's base combat power wasn't particularly high, likely only around 150 million.

Even after transforming into a Super Saiyan 3, it would only be around 60 billion.

Even accounting for a power-up, it definitely wouldn't exceed 100 billion.

As for Soya himself, his base state had already reached a terrifying 100 billion. For him, fighting the current Son Goku would be nothing more than bullying.

Soya didn't want to see the protagonist he grew up watching on TV get pinned to the ground and beaten by him.

"I—"

Soya was just about to refuse, but after saying the first word, he suddenly paused.

Because he remembered something.

Although my strength has far surpassed Son Goku and the others, my combat experience is practically zero. I just arrived in this world, and I lack that kind of experience.

Son Goku is different. His strength might not be as great as mine, but his combat experience is extremely rich. In that case, this battle seems like a learning opportunity for me.

At the very least, the process of fighting Son Goku could help me improve!

Muttering to himself, Soya made up his mind.

Fighting him doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Soya smiled.

"A spar? I think that could work!"

Soya looked at Son Goku and the others and said, "However, this place isn't suitable as our battlefield; it's too easy to harm others. Why don't we head to the middle of the ocean? We can let loose and fight there."

Soya spoke slowly, and he was telling the truth.

At their level of strength, every gesture could cause incomparable damage.

If it weren't for Goku and the others using the Dragon Ball to reinforce the Earth multiple times, the planet would have long since turned to dust from their previous battles.

After finishing his sentence, Soya transformed into a streak of light and shot off into the distance.

"Alright!"

Son Goku was overjoyed; he hadn't expected Soya to actually agree to his request.

"Friends, I'll be right back!"

Son Goku smiled at everyone; he was off to compete with Soya.

As soon as he finished speaking, Son Goku unleashed his speed and gave chase.

"Whoosh!"

Vegeta didn't say much. After Soya and Son Goku left one after another, he just clicked his tongue in disdain. His figure flashed, and he shot off at extreme speed toward the distance, vanishing in an instant.

Only the people on the cruise ship remained below.

They were already used to this.

Especially Chi-Chi; she was long accustomed to Son Goku finding people to fight at the drop of a hat.

She comforted Bulma, who had been left behind, and signaled for everyone to continue the party.

In the middle of the ocean, countless kilometers away, Soya, Son Goku, and Vegeta stood facing one another.

An incredibly powerful ki radiated from each of them.

Of course, the strongest ki present was undoubtedly Soya's.

As for the weakest one, it went without saying—Vegeta was furious about it himself!

The three of them hovered in mid-air, their gazes locked, neither speaking as they focused their energy on one another.

Since Vegeta's strength was the lowest, he was the first to struggle under the pressure.

However, his pride forced him to grit his teeth and hold on.

Veins bulged on his broad forehead; he would never admit defeat!

"Kakarot, since you refuse to make a move, then let me handle this fight!" Vegeta spoke first, determined not to let Son Goku snatch all the glory.

Vegeta broke the silence, looking at Soya with a solemn expression as he spoke.

"Vegeta, his strength is immense; I'm worried you're no match for him!"

Son Goku was only looking out for the Prince.

One had to know that Soya's strength far surpassed anyone Son Goku had ever encountered before.

Even Son Goku himself felt grave when facing Soya, not daring to show the slightest bit of negligence.

Because that sense of oppression was simply too overwhelming!

Son Goku knew very clearly that if Soya wanted to defeat him, it would be extremely simple—so simple that a single casual strike would be enough to take him down.

"Kakarot! Don't forget that I am the Prince of all Saiyans! Do not speak to me with that tone of a low-class warrior; don't you think that is highly inappropriate?"

Vegeta spoke coldly, flatly rejecting Son Goku's good intentions.

Son Goku was long used to this, so he could only let Vegeta have his way.

No sooner had Vegeta finished speaking than he lunged forward, charging straight toward Soya in an instant.

His speed was so great that he left only trails of afterimages in his wake.

"Since you are so impatient, then I shall start with you!" Soya had long anticipated the Prince's volatile temper.

Watching Vegeta charge at him, he didn't care in the slightest.

To him, he didn't even value Son Goku all that much, let alone the eternal runner-up, Vegeta.

Therefore, Soya naturally didn't take it to heart.

Although he knew that Vegeta's strength was decent, it was merely decent.

It was still far from reaching a level that could satisfy Soya.

"Whoosh!"

Vegeta's speed was immense, and he arrived before Soya in almost a heartbeat.

"Decent speed, but for me, it is still too slow!"

Soya spoke, and just as Vegeta's iron fist was about to land, he easily sidestepped, dodging the attack with effortless grace.

"What!"

Vegeta was stunned; he hadn't expected his sudden strike to be dodged by Soya so easily.

And to have dodged it with such ease!

"It seems I underestimated you!"

A proud smirk played on Vegeta's lips; although he no longer possessed the evil, cruel heart he once had, the pride ingrained in a Saiyan's bones remained.

"So, I've been underestimated? In that case, I hope you can bring out power enough to shock me!" Soya didn't feel anything regarding Vegeta's words, instead speaking indifferently.

"As you wish!"

Vegeta unleashed his energy, his aura instantly surging to a much higher level as he assaulted Soya once more!
