Vegeta's All-Out Effort!

"Such arrogant words. I hope you can still speak like that in a moment!"

Vegeta's gaze sharpened as he took a long, hard look at Soya.

Being looked down upon by Soya made him quite unhappy.

Although Soya's tone made Vegeta feel very unwelcome, he also knew that even after transforming into a Super Saiyan, he would absolutely not be his opponent.

However, despite this, Vegeta would not give up easily, for he was a proud Saiyan!

When it came to the honor of the Saiyans, no one valued it more than Vegeta.

On this point alone, even Son Goku could not compare to him.

As the Prince of Saiyans, Vegeta longed to restore the glory of his race and make the name of the Saiyans echo once again in every corner of the universe.

Of course, Vegeta felt that this task had to be accomplished by his own hands.

Otherwise, wouldn't he, the Saiyan Prince, be a complete failure?

If all of this were to be accomplished by Son Goku instead of himself, Vegeta feared he would harbor that resentment forever.

"Whether it is arrogance or not, I think you should know better than I do. I also know you might not believe it, so let's verify it. I think you will understand the result very soon!"

Soya smiled; he did not want to explain.

He understood Vegeta's personality far too well.

He was so proud, even conceited.

Therefore, any excessive explanation would be meaningless!

Whoosh!

Vegeta's figure flashed, and then he simply vanished from sight.

It was not Instant Transmission; his speed was simply so fast that it was impossible to react in an instant.

"It seems that transforming into a Super Saiyan has indeed increased your strength significantly. At the very least, your speed has improved quite a bit."

Soya smiled slightly as he spoke. Vegeta's increased speed was actually a very good thing for him.

At the very least, this way, Soya could stretch his limbs a little and not be so bored.

Soya scanned his surroundings.

Because of Vegeta's high-speed movement, everything around him was blurred.

One second, his figure had appeared seven or eight meters in front of him, but the next, Vegeta's energy had arrived behind Soya in what was essentially a flash.

This was extreme speed.

Yet, the corners of Soya's mouth curled upward; even so, he did not feel the slightest bit threatened.

To him.

Slow!

It was still too slow!

"Vegeta!"

Son Goku watched Vegeta. Although Vegeta had transformed into a Super Saiyan, Goku knew that it was simply impossible for Vegeta, even in that form, to defeat Soya.

Even Son Goku himself, after transforming into a Super Saiyan, did not have enough confidence to defeat Soya.

Because up until now, he hadn't even seen the slightest ripple of emotion on Soya's face.

There hadn't even been a single fluctuation in his energy.

It was as if, up to this point, Vegeta hadn't even reached the level where Soya needed to take him seriously.

But Prince Vegeta did not care at all.

"Adadadada!"

Vegeta closed the distance in an instant, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately swung his fists, unleashing all his power as he rained blows down upon Soya like a madman.

Like raindrops, the strikes hammered against Soya in rapid, continuous succession.

"Bang!"

"Bang, bang!"

"Bang, bang, bang!!!"

Every punch that landed emitted a series of booming sounds, and under this relentless barrage, the area around Soya's body was immediately filled with thick smoke.

Looking from the outside, Soya's figure could no longer be seen; only endless smoke remained.

The momentum was immense, and the mere shockwaves caused waves to rise continuously on the surface of the sea.

"Hmph!"

Watching the thick smoke, Vegeta did not continue his assault. Instead, he retreated, putting some distance between himself and the smoke before casting a cold, piercing gaze toward it.

As the smoke dissipated, Vegeta's expression suddenly shifted.

Soya's figure emerged from the clearing mist.

Yet, he appeared completely unscathed.

Not even his clothes showed the slightest sign of damage.

They remained as pristine as they had been moments ago.

Not a single speck of dust had settled upon him.

It was as if Vegeta's previous barrage of attacks, fierce as a storm, had been nothing more than a light tickle, failing to produce any effect whatsoever.

If that were all, it might have been manageable, but what truly made Vegeta's expression turn grave was Soya's current demeanor.

Soya looked calm, his gaze fixed on Vegeta with a hint of mockery.

Though he did not speak, the meaning conveyed by his eyes was abundantly clear.

"How... how is this possible?!"

Vegeta's face was etched with disbelief.

Even if his offensive couldn't inflict any real damage on Soya, it shouldn't have been this ineffective.

"What? Does it surprise you that I withstood your attacks?" Soya asked with a faint smile.

The classic "no damage from smoke" trope.

To him, Vegeta's attacks were no different from a light scratch.

"Vegeta, your strength is decent, but if you want to defeat me, this level of power is far from enough!

I know this isn't your full strength; bring out your best side and let me have a good look.

Otherwise, after what just happened, you should already understand what the outcome will be!"

Soya spoke with a smile.

But in Vegeta's eyes, it was no different from mockery.

His tone was calm, yet within those quiet words lay an unimaginable sense of dominance.

Vegeta's face darkened. He stared deeply at Soya for a moment before suddenly bursting into laughter.

"Hahahahaha!"

Vegeta couldn't help but laugh wildly, as if he had thought of something hilarious.

"You..."

Soya frowned, but the words that had reached his lips were swallowed back down, left unsaid.

"Soya, you want to witness my full power?

Fine, since you are so eager to see it, I shall satisfy your curiosity!

You are right; in this current form, I am indeed no match for you. However, I believe that once I unleash my full strength, I will be able to make you feel threatened!"

Vegeta declared.

As his voice trailed off, Vegeta clenched his fists, only to release them a moment later.

A cold, sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

"Soya, you had better watch closely. What comes next is my true strength. This time, I will hold nothing back!"

Vegeta clenched his fists again, and the energy within his body began to surge violently.
