It seems his regeneration speed is still quite slow.

One must remember that Majin Buu can regenerate in an instant.

However, having regeneration is better than not having it at all; for now, Vegeta is reasonably satisfied.

A day later, Vegeta emerged from the Gravity Training Room, and the moment he appeared, the many Saiyans erupted into continuous cheers.

To this, Vegeta merely offered a faint smile; there were even more powerful enemies waiting for him, and he could not afford to slack off.

Upon learning that his son had recovered completely in just one day, King Vegeta could not have been more astonished.

While others might not know, he remembered clearly that his son had never visited the medical bay; he had simply spent a day and a night in the Gravity Training Room, and his body had healed itself.

A bloodied hole that large, one that had pierced through his lungs—he had actually healed it on his own?

King Vegeta found it impossible to believe this fact.

After a long silence, King Vegeta dialed Nappa's communicator.

"Nappa, have you returned yet?" King Vegeta inquired.

"King Vegeta, we are on our way and will arrive at Planet Vegeta in two hours," Nappa replied.

"Good, I will be waiting for you at the palace," King Vegeta said.

Two hours passed quickly, and the spaceship carrying Nappa and Raditz finally arrived safely.

Upon sensing the ki of Nappa and Raditz, Vegeta's brows furrowed. He took off with a "whoosh," and the next moment, he appeared before the two of them.

Seeing Vegeta suddenly materialize before them, Nappa and Raditz trembled and hurriedly bowed to pay their respects.

"Why have you returned? Did I not order you to protect Dr. Brief and his family?" Vegeta demanded with a cold face.

"Your Highness, it was King Vegeta who ordered us back..." Nappa replied, trembling. "But please rest assured, Your Highness, Dr. Brief and his family are safe. Before we left, we specifically infused energy into a robot we built for them. I believe that as long as no formidable characters appear, it is impossible for anyone to harm them."

Vegeta felt relieved; since Bulma's family was safe, he would not blame these two.

Waving his hand, Vegeta ignored Nappa and Raditz and went off to wander around.

Pure training would not rapidly increase his combat power and could instead cause physical strain; Vegeta was well aware of this.

Having now overcome three hundred times gravity, he needed to rest well for the remaining few days to let his body adapt completely.

He believed that after nine days, Frieza would arrive soon.

Vegeta even considered whether he could move the battlefield to another planet to avoid Planet Vegeta being devastated.

At this very moment, Nappa and Raditz had already arrived at the palace to meet King Vegeta.

"Tell me, what exactly happened on Earth?" King Vegeta asked.

Nappa and Raditz dared not delay and recounted everything they had seen on Earth to King Vegeta in full detail.

After listening patiently, King Vegeta shook his head, unable to make sense of it.

However, one detail caught his attention.

"You say a long dragon appeared in the sky, and then the sky suddenly went dark?" King Vegeta asked again.

"Yes, even Ginyu and his men were shocked at the time, and after that long dragon vanished, His Highness suddenly stopped retreating," Nappa explained.

Waving his hand, Vegeta ignored Nappa and Raditz and wandered off on his own.

Vegeta knew full well that pure training would not rapidly increase his combat power; on the contrary, it would only cause physical discomfort.

He had already overcome three hundred times gravity, so he needed to rest properly over the next few days to let his body fully adapt.

He believed that after the battle nine days later, Frieza would arrive very soon.

Vegeta was even considering whether he could move the battlefield to another planet to avoid Planet Vegeta being devastated.

At this very moment, Nappa and Raditz had already arrived at the royal palace to see King Vegeta.

"Tell me, what exactly happened to you on Earth?" King Vegeta inquired.

Nappa and Raditz dared not delay, recounting everything they had seen on Earth to King Vegeta in full detail.

After listening patiently, King Vegeta shook his head, unable to make sense of it.

However, one detail caught his attention.

"You say a long dragon appeared in the sky, and then the sky suddenly went dark?" King Vegeta asked again.

"Yes. Even Ginyu and his men were shocked at the time, and after that long dragon vanished, His Highness suddenly stopped hiding," Nappa explained.

"Besides you two, who else knows about this?" King Vegeta's expression suddenly turned grim.

Seeing King Vegeta's demeanor, Nappa and Raditz were so terrified they fell to their knees on the spot.

"Speak!" King Vegeta barked.

"No one else... King Vegeta, we won't tell a soul!" Nappa kowtowed vigorously, knowing that King Vegeta intended to silence them.
