"Ah!"
A low growl burst from Vegeta's mouth.
As he roared, the energy around him began to surge wildly.
Having transformed into a Super Saiyan, Vegeta's power had already skyrocketed. Now, it was climbing to an even higher level.
His strength surged once more, building on his Super Saiyan power.
"Is he breaking through again while transformed into a Super Saiyan?"
Soya watched Vegeta. He understood exactly what was happening.
But he also knew that even though Vegeta was powerful now, the gap between them couldn't be closed with just one or two transformations.
The gap between them was enormous. Even if Vegeta transformed into a Super Saiyan 2 and reached a power level of 20 billion—
Even if, after transforming into a Super Saiyan 2, he entered his strongest state and reached the peak of Super Saiyan 2—
Even then, Vegeta's power would only amount to a third of Soya's in his normal state.
Vegeta roared without stopping. As his deafening cries continued, the golden aura around him grew more intense.
The energy surrounding his body even began to billow like steam.
His hair stood up even more sharply.
Electricity flickered around him.
These were all outward changes. As for Vegeta's power—
After transforming into a Super Saiyan, it had reached 20 billion.
And it still hadn't stopped rising.
Super Saiyan 2 wasn't Vegeta's limit.
He couldn't transform into a Super Saiyan 3 like Son Goku, at least not yet. But he could still reach the peak of Super Saiyan 2: full power.
"300 billion. Vegeta, you really have surprised me."
Soya looked at Vegeta and smiled faintly. His expression hadn't changed much.
He was only surprised, after all.
"Only surprised?"
Vegeta smiled. Now that he had transformed into a Super Saiyan 2 and unleashed his full strength, his confidence had returned.
Or rather, he had always been the same arrogant, proud Saiyan Prince, Vegeta!
He would never admit that anyone could be stronger than him.
And even if someone was stronger right now, he would do everything in his power to surpass them!
Just as he had always trained in secret, behind Goku's back.
One day, he would surpass Goku and reach a higher level before him!
"Whoosh!"
Vegeta flashed forward, charging straight at Soya at incredible speed. He was far faster than before.
Almost the instant he moved, he was already in front of Soya.
A fierce wind rushed toward him, but Soya didn't care in the slightest.
"Your speed has improved a lot, but it's still not enough to trouble me."
Soya still wore a faint smile.
He had seen Vegeta's improvement, but Vegeta was still nowhere near strong enough to challenge him. The gap between them couldn't be closed so easily.
"Keep telling yourself that!"
Vegeta snorted.
As soon as he drew close, he threw a punch.
It came with tremendous force and incredible speed.
The punch broke the sound barrier once more.
"Bang!"
With unimaginable force, the punch came crashing down toward Soya.
But faced with an attack of that speed and caliber, Soya didn't care in the slightest.
Vegeta was still far from being his match.
After all, the gap between them was simply too great.
Just as Vegeta's punch came hurtling toward him and was about to connect, Soya shifted slightly.
Just once.
And he easily dodged Vegeta's fierce attack.
"What?!"
Vegeta's expression changed. He couldn't believe that even after unleashing his full power, he still couldn't touch Soya.
"Ah!"
Fury made Vegeta's roar grow even more intense.
At that moment, a wild surge of power burst from him.
He was—
Overflowing with battle spirit!
"Haha! As expected of the Saiyan Prince. You may not be very strong, but your fighting spirit is incredible.
"Especially since you can still summon such a fierce fighting spirit even after seeing the gap between us."
Soya laughed heartily, and his fondness for Vegeta grew a little.
Perhaps it was because his own bloodline had changed.
He couldn't help but admire Vegeta's tireless perseverance.
"Bang!"
"Bang, bang!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Vegeta kept attacking, growing faster with every strike. The power behind his blows grew stronger right along with his speed.
In the blink of an eye, Vegeta had landed dozens of attacks.
The rumbling continued to echo, throwing the air around them into turmoil.
"Galick Gun!"
Vegeta brought his hands together. In the next instant, a pure sphere of light appeared.
It was only a sphere of light, but it contained an unimaginable, terrifying force.
As Vegeta poured more energy into it, the sphere grew more and more powerful.
"Now that's interesting!"
Soya's expression didn't change, but for the first time during his fight with Vegeta, he raised his right hand.
He lifted only one finger.
Clearly, one finger was more than enough to deal with an attack of this level.
"Damn it! You dare look down on me!"
Vegeta snorted and thrust both hands forward.
He would make this arrogant fool regret it.
"Boom!"
The enormous sphere of light shot out at once, hurtling toward Soya.
Everything in its path seemed about to be destroyed—even the air itself.
This was Vegeta's strongest attack.
A fierce expression crossed his face. He would make Soya regret his arrogance.
He had put everything he had into this attack. He was already gasping for breath.
As the sphere of light drew closer, a terrifying force radiated from it, unleashing unimaginable power.
"An attack of this level is worth paying a little attention to."
Soya spoke slowly as the Galick Gun rushed toward him.
He raised his right hand and pointed his index finger forward.
He was confident.
An attack of this level called for nothing more than one finger.
"No way! He's going to stop Vegeta's attack with just one finger? That's way too crazy!"
Son Goku watched, his face full of shock.
