Ascending to Super Saiyan Second Tier

King Piccolo felt Yun Feng's ki growing ever stronger, and he refused to be outdone, pushing his own ki to the limit.

Ding, King Piccolo, Super Namekian, combat power 28 billion.

Yun Feng looked at King Piccolo's combat power on the system panel; he hadn't expected it to be infinitely close to his own.

With his own combat power at 30 billion, he hadn't anticipated King Piccolo surging to 28 billion in one go. It seemed he needed to end this fight quickly to leave King Piccolo with an image of his invincibility.

King Piccolo finally finished powering up. He was far stronger now than in the original story; Goku would have to step it up. It seemed he wasn't doing a very good job as a mentor.

"System, how can I defeat King Piccolo decisively?"

"Host, you have two choices. First: you can use the 20x Kaioken to quickly defeat King Piccolo."

"Second: you can create a moon yourself and transform into a Great Ape. This would also quickly defeat King Piccolo, but there is a risk of losing consciousness. Proceed with caution."

Hearing the system's suggestion, Yun Feng chose the first option without hesitation; he wasn't about to risk losing his consciousness.

"Mr. Yun Feng, I have unleashed all of my power. If you can defeat me, I will accept your decision to let Cell go earlier."

Yun Feng looked at King Piccolo, who was radiating a silver glow. The only word to describe the feeling he gave off now was "ferocious."

20x Kaioken. Red flames suddenly surged atop the golden aura, and as the two fused, a terrifying ki erupted from Yun Feng. The ground began to crack, and a pressure even greater than before came rushing toward him.

With a whoosh, he vanished from his spot and slammed a fist into King Piccolo's face, causing blood to immediately spill from the corner of the Namekian's mouth.

King Piccolo was shocked: "Such incredible speed!"

King Piccolo threw a kick, but Yun Feng jumped to dodge it, instantly appearing behind him. With a kick of his own, he sent King Piccolo flying, crashing directly through a high-rise building.

Suddenly, with a loud boom, a burst of energy erupted, shattering the building into pieces as King Piccolo emerged without a scratch.

King Piccolo unleashed a barrage of fierce energy blasts at Yun Feng. Yun Feng crossed his arms to block them, but there were simply too many.

Yun Feng immediately activated Instant Transmission, appearing behind King Piccolo and blasting him away with a single energy sphere.

Boom, King Piccolo was buried in the rubble once again.

King Piccolo was stunned. How could Mr. Yun Feng appear behind me in an instant? The previous blasts clearly hit him.

King Piccolo leaped out, bearing minor wounds. Silver flames rose from his body as he charged at Yun Feng. The two clashed; King Piccolo's movements were swift, fierce, and lethal—he was truly worthy of the title King Piccolo.

King Piccolo smashed a fist into Yun Feng's abdomen, and Yun Feng countered by spinning and striking King Piccolo's chin. They traded over twenty blows in an instant, and King Piccolo's ki began to fluctuate.

King Piccolo panted heavily, while Yun Feng's breathing remained steady. The gap between them was immediately apparent.

King Piccolo shouted, "Mr. Yun Feng, your combat power is clearly higher than mine. If you can withstand this move, I will concede."

Clenching one hand, King Piccolo began to gather power at his fingertips: "Special Beam Cannon!" Yun Feng's system began to chime; King Piccolo's combat power was rising.

It turned out King Piccolo was concentrating all his combat power into a single point.

28.5 billion.

28.7 billion.

28.9 billion.

29.1 billion...

It finally stopped at 29.9 billion.

Truly terrifying. Without the Kaioken, his own power was only 30 billion; with the Kaioken active, his current combat power far exceeded this figure.

Yun Feng also shouted, "20x Kaioken Kamehameha!"

Terrifying energy gathered in Yun Feng's hands, the silver-white light shining brilliantly.

Babidi's spaceship.

The ship was trembling constantly. Babidi asked, "What is going on?"

"Two powerhouses are fighting," Dabura explained.

"There are still such powerhouses on Earth? Bring me the energy detector." A subordinate quickly brought the device to Babidi.

"20 billion energy units! This combat power is approaching yours, Dabura," Babidi said in shock.

Dabura's expression also turned grave.

Both forces were ready: Kamehameha and Special Beam Cannon.

The two terrifying energy waves collided in the air, forming two elliptical spheres of energy that remained deadlocked. The horrific destructive power caused the surrounding area to change drastically.

The people of Earth cried out in panic: "Is this the end of the world?"

The beam struggle between King Piccolo and Yun Feng lasted for a full hour. Eventually, King Piccolo began to falter and was suppressed. Seeing this, Yun Feng used Instant Transmission to push King Piccolo aside.

He used both hands to shove the energy wave upward, using 30x Kaioken to barely push the blast out of the atmosphere and into deep space.

Yun Feng sat on the ground, panting heavily. His stamina began to recover rapidly; the system had provided him with a method for rapid stamina recovery when he first arrived.

He took out a Senzu Bean—he still had 100 left from his last mission—and tossed it to King Piccolo.

King Piccolo didn't stand on ceremony and ate it, his injuries and ki recovering instantly.

"Mr. Yun Feng, thank you for saving me. I will follow your decision unconditionally," King Piccolo said.

Yun Feng laughed, "We're comrades, don't say such things." Then, he said gravely, "King Piccolo, go to Kame House immediately. You must ensure that Cell does not absorb Android 17 and Android 18."

"I intend to go to the Heavenly Realm to train Goku, so I certainly won't have time to help you defeat Cell, but seeing your current strength puts my mind at ease."

Piccolo nodded. "Rest assured, I won't let Cell reach his perfect form."

With that, Piccolo flew away, and the system's voice echoed for Yun Feng.

Ding, Host has completed the hidden mission: Defeat Kami Piccolo, the Super Namekian.

Reward: Massive amount of Super Saiyan energy.

Yun Feng felt a vast surge of energy flood into his body, his strength rising rapidly. Waves of heat flowed through his veins until, with a loud boom, lightning began to crackle and swirl around his body.

Ding, the system's voice sounded once more.

Host has leveled up.

Name: Yun Feng

Bloodline: Saiyan

Strength: Super Saiyan 2 (Initial Stage), Combat Power: 300 billion

Skills: Kamehameha, Instant Transmission, Solar Flare, Instant Stamina Recovery, Kaioken

Yun Feng was too shocked to speak. He had finally reached Super Saiyan 2. Now, at most, Dabura could only fight him to a draw, and even if Cell reached his perfect form, he would be no match for him. A surge of heroic spirit welled up from the bottom of Yun Feng's heart.

Ever since Dabura appeared, the plot had shifted, leaving him with a feeling that things were spiraling out of control. Now, that sense of mastery had returned; the initiative was back in his hands.

It was time to fulfill his duties as a master. Goku's heart disease should be cured by now; he would use Instant Transmission to reach Goku and take him away for training.

Babidi's Spaceship

A look of unexpected worry appeared on Babidi's face. "Dabura, such a powerful enemy has appeared; I fear Cell won't be able to handle him. But you cannot leave my side—what if the enemy attacks the spaceship?"

Babidi pondered for a moment, then, as if remembering something, his face lit up with joy. "Dabura, shouldn't we go and recruit a new member?"

Dabura was startled. "Lord Babidi, who are you referring to?"

Babidi said happily, "Bojack. A powerhouse who wreaked havoc in the galaxy back in the day before being sealed away by the Four Kai. His strength is likely close to yours."

Dabura was also taken aback. "To be sealed by the combined efforts of the Four Kai... he must indeed be a formidable warrior."

"Dabura, let's set off. I will use my magic to break his seal, then exploit his evil heart to control him and turn him into our powerful warrior."
