Vegeta's face flushed red with rage, the golden aura around his body turning violent as he gritted his teeth and spat, "Do you still think I'm the same as I was before?"

His strength had increased by countless folds since the first time he fought Li Lin.

Back then, he hadn't even been able to transform into a Super Saiyan.

Li Lin's expression remained indifferent as he slowly opened his mouth to say, "In my eyes, you're no different from back then!"

"Damn it!" Vegeta's pride couldn't take it, and he began to shout, "Then let's put that to the test!"

Vegeta lunged toward Li Lin, his iron fist, fierce and invincible, swinging straight at him.

With a loud "Bang!", Li Lin met the strike head-on.

Vegeta felt his arm go numb, and his entire body was sent reeling back several steps, looking utterly disheveled.

What just happened? That was the only question in his mind.

Li Lin showed no intention of stopping, charging toward him with incredible speed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!" After several more muffled thuds, Vegeta felt a sharp pain in his chest. He was sent flying, crashing heavily into the ground with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Li Lin slowly descended to the ground, looking down at him from above. "You lost."

Vegeta was completely stunned, muttering to himself, "I lost? I just lost like that?"

Li Lin was right; it didn't even take a few seconds to deal with him.

Because the entire process had taken less than a second.

Standing not far away, Trunks had seen the scene clearly, and he was utterly shocked.

"Gulp!" He swallowed hard and muttered, "Is this the power of Mr. Li Lin? It's terrifying!"

Li Lin continued to look at the devastated Vegeta, saying calmly, "If there's nothing else, can I go now?"

"Impossible, this is impossible! How could I lose!" Vegeta didn't respond; he was on the verge of a breakdown, stubbornly refusing to accept the truth. "I don't accept this! Again!"

With that, he stood up and charged at Li Lin once more.

Seeing the crazed Vegeta, Li Lin shook his head helplessly.

In this state, he was no match for him at all. Ever since arriving in this world, Li Lin had already reached the level of Super Saiyan 2.

After a year of tempering, although he had no benchmark, his realm had definitely surpassed the standard of Super Saiyan 2.

Even if Vegeta were to break through to Super Saiyan 2, he still wouldn't be his match, let alone the fact that this guy hadn't even reached the Full Power state of Super Saiyan 1.

Li Lin looked at the approaching Vegeta and said coldly, "I advise you to give up. That way, you might keep your life, but if you continue, you're truly dead!"

"Shut up! Watch how I kill you!" Vegeta lunged, reaching Li Lin in an instant.

His fist was raised high, ready to strike.

However, before it could land, Li Lin kicked him squarely in the abdomen.

"Thud!"

Vegeta was launched away like a cannonball.

"Father!" Trunks watched Vegeta fly off, his heart skipping a beat as he hurriedly flew after him.

To his surprise, he found that his own flight speed couldn't keep up.

That showed just how much force Li Lin had put into that kick!

"Splash!" A sound echoed as Vegeta fell into the ocean.

Trunks hurriedly dove into the sea, trying to fish him out.

Seeing that the trouble was finally resolved, Li Lin didn't want to stay here any longer.

He walked up to Android 18 and said calmly, "It's settled. We can leave now!"

Android 18 nodded slowly, her eyes filled with admiration for him.

An opponent as formidable as Cell had been sent flying by a single punch from him.

Vegeta, who could toy with Cell, had been kicked into the sea by him.

Wasn't this man's strength a bit too exaggerated?

Li Lin walked behind a rock and said to Android 16, who was sitting on the ground, "Can you still fly?"

Android 16 looked at Li Lin and nodded. "If it's not too far, I think I can."

And so, Li Lin left the island with Android 16 and Android 18.

His first destination was Capsule Corp in West City; he wanted to drop off Android 16 for repairs first, believing Bulma would be interested in his physical construction.

As for him and Android 18, the two decided to spend some time together on Earth.

After all, they had both developed feelings for each other, and after a little more time together, they would likely reach a happy ending!

On the island.

Trunks pulled the soaking wet Vegeta out of the sea.

Vegeta had been washed by the seawater, and most of the bloodstains on his face had vanished.

However, his energy was incredibly faint; without timely treatment, he could lose his life at any moment.

"Mr. Li Lin, you really didn't hold back!" Trunks complained helplessly.

Fortunately, he was carrying the Senzu Bean that Son Goku had given him before he left.

Otherwise, Vegeta's life might truly have been nearing its end.

In fact, what he didn't know was that Li Lin had held back significantly when he struck.

Otherwise, Vegeta's fate would have been no better than Cell's.

After all, although Cell had half his body blown away, he possessed Piccolo's cells and could fully regenerate.

As for Vegeta, he lacked that ability; if he had lost half his body, he likely would have perished on the spot!

A moment later, after consuming the Senzu Bean, Vegeta instantly returned to normal.

However, his expression was incredibly grim, and his fists were clenched so tightly they creaked!

"Ah!!!"

Vegeta suddenly clutched his head and let out a roar, a golden aura erupting from his body.

Even though he had recovered, he still could not accept the reality of his crushing defeat!

A powerful energy spread across the entire island, causing the ground to tremble violently and the air currents to turn wild and turbulent.

"This..." Trunks raised his hand, wanting to offer some words of comfort, but after opening his mouth, he didn't know where to begin, so he simply shut it and watched his father in silence!

Just as Vegeta was still fuming, a figure rose from a small mound of dirt not far away.

"Phew, that was close. I almost lost my life there." The one speaking was none other than Cell, who had been blasted into pieces by Li Lin's punch.

But due to his unique physiology, as long as his core remained undamaged, he would not die.

In a few moments, he had already restored his body to its complete state.

At the same time, Cell confirmed that Li Lin must be the powerful individual he had sensed earlier.

He felt that his situation was truly difficult.

In the future, he had wanted to absorb the Androids, only to be dealt with by Trunks prematurely, forcing him to travel to this timeline.

He had intended to develop his strength for a while, but he had been hunted by Piccolo the entire way.

Having finally managed to survive, he was then brutally beaten by the suddenly appearing Android 16.

He had thought that after absorbing Android 17, he would be invincible, only to be thrashed by Vegeta.

Just when he had convinced Vegeta and was preparing to absorb Android 18, he was nearly killed by a single punch from someone else.

Thinking of this, Cell's eyes couldn't help but moisten; the start of his journey in this timeline was simply too hard—why couldn't things just be a little simpler?
