"Boom..."
Dodoria's shockwave was incredibly powerful, carrying a massive surge of energy like a raging sea, leveling the area where Vegeta had been standing.
Dust filled the sky, shrouding the entire region in a chaotic haze.
Dodoria gasped for air, and after a few seconds, he plopped onto the ground, beads of sweat the size of beans sliding down his face.
"Heh heh, heh heh, serves you right, Vegeta!" Dodoria was struggling to catch his breath, yet his face was plastered with a grin.
Furthermore, the bloated mass of his body had completely vanished; not only that, but the guy looked as if he had suffered a severe illness, his frame having become significantly leaner.
"Dodoria, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed."
Just as Dodoria had let out a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from ahead.
Dodoria jolted as if struck by lightning; he sprang up from the ground, his entire body trembling, his expression one of utter shock.
The dust gradually dissipated, and Vegeta's figure slowly emerged.
"This... this is impossible!" Dodoria exclaimed, staring at Vegeta as if he were looking at a monster, cold sweat pouring down his back.
"What's impossible about it?" Vegeta sneered.
In truth, Vegeta wasn't feeling great either.
Just moments ago, as he watched Dodoria's fierce shockwave surging toward him, at the critical juncture, Vegeta was pleasantly surprised to find that the hidden energy within his body had suddenly begun to circulate on its own.
In the next instant, Vegeta sensed his combat power rising rapidly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Vegeta crossed his arms to protect his head, bracing himself to withstand the incoming shockwave head-on.
However, while he had managed to resist it, Dodoria's shockwave was simply too powerful, and Vegeta had sustained heavy injuries as a result.
Still, as Vegeta scrutinized Dodoria now, he suddenly felt amused; it seemed this guy had burned through his combat power even faster than he had.
Vegeta estimated that Dodoria didn't have much energy left at all.
"Dodoria, that move just now wasn't bad; I almost went to report to King Yemma." Vegeta laughed, while secretly gathering his energy to finish Dodoria off.
Dodoria's large face turned fearful; his eyes darted around, his lips trembled, and his legs couldn't stop shaking.
"Ah..."
The next moment, Dodoria let out a miserable cry and bolted toward the direction of his spaceship.
Vegeta was alarmed; if he let Dodoria escape like this, all his efforts would have been in vain.
Besides, this Dodoria had left him severely wounded—this grudge had to be settled!
Rapidly raising his ki, light flickered in Vegeta's hand, and a golden beam shot straight toward Dodoria.
"Squelch..."
Dodoria, who had been running, suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking down in bewilderment at the golden light piercing through his chest as purple-black blood sprayed out.
"Thud!"
Dodoria collapsed powerlessly to the ground, unable to climb back up.
Vegeta let out a cold chuckle and walked toward him, step by step.
Right now, even moving a single step felt difficult.
This battle had nearly exhausted Vegeta's energy, and he was also heavily wounded.
When he reached Dodoria's side, his expression suddenly shifted.
Because Dodoria had suddenly snapped his eyes open.
"Boom..."
Dodoria's shockwave was incredibly powerful, carrying a massive surge of energy like a raging sea, leveling the area where Vegeta had been standing.

In the next instant, Vegeta sensed his combat power rising rapidly.
Taking advantage of this opening, Vegeta crossed his arms to shield his head, bracing himself to withstand the incoming shockwave head-on.
He managed to resist it, but Dodoria's blast was far too powerful, leaving Vegeta heavily injured in the process.
However, as Vegeta scrutinized Dodoria, he suddenly chuckled; it turned out this guy was burning through his combat power even faster than he was.
Vegeta estimated that Dodoria didn't have much energy left at this point.
"Dodoria, that was a decent move just now; I nearly had to go report to King Yemma," Vegeta laughed, while secretly gathering his energy to finish Dodoria off.
Dodoria's large face twisted in terror, his eyes darting around, lips trembling, and his legs shaking uncontrollably.
"Ah..."
The next moment, Dodoria let out a miserable cry and bolted toward the direction of the spaceship.
Vegeta was alarmed; if he let Dodoria escape like this, all his efforts would have been in vain.
Besides, this guy had left him severely wounded, and this grudge had to be settled!

Dodoria, who had been running, suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring in shock at the golden light piercing through his chest as purple-black blood sprayed out.
"Thud!"
Dodoria collapsed powerlessly to the ground, unable to get back up.
Vegeta let out a cold, sinister laugh and stepped forward.
At this moment, even moving a single step felt difficult for him.
This battle had nearly exhausted all of Vegeta's energy, and he had sustained heavy injuries to boot.
But as he reached Dodoria's side, his expression suddenly shifted.
Dodoria had abruptly snapped his eyes open.
Damn it, he wasn't dead yet!
How could this guy be so tenacious!
Vegeta braced himself as if facing a great enemy; if Dodoria could still kick, he would be in serious danger.
