Kakarot Was Shocked

Vegeta, having transformed into Super Vegeta, charged forward without a shred of hesitation.

Because he had waited for this day for far too long!

He cared nothing for the East Supreme Kai or the others watching with predatory eyes; he only wanted to surpass Kakarot and Gohan. Everything else was irrelevant.

Thus, the moment he appeared, he unleashed his power to the absolute limit.

Even Son Goku was astonished. Because of the stimulation from Gohan's combat and his intensified training, the current Vegeta was stronger than he had anticipated.

Vegeta's diligence in training actually shocked Son Goku, who had to admit that Gohan had once again unlocked Vegeta's potential.

The combat power of the Super Vegeta transformation had risen once more!

Of course, the fact that Vegeta's power had reached such a level was due to Gohan, which made Son Goku pay even closer attention to him now.

He finally understood why Gohan was worth Vegeta pushing himself so hard.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two clashed in close-quarters combat, and Gohan, in his Super Saiyan 2 state, was not the least bit inferior to Vegeta.

They fought from the ground up into the sky, their constantly erupting power causing massive destruction to the entire arena.

The shockwaves of their energy even reached the spectator stands.

Some of the audience were dumbfounded, while Satan, not far away, clung to a pillar, trembling all over.

He felt incredibly lucky right now—lucky that he hadn't provoked this monster called Vegeta!

Furthermore, he truly realized that his son-in-law was a monster as well!

How could ordinary people understand a fight between two monsters? Only the announcer, looking excited, provided the commentary.

"Contestant Vegeta has taken to the sky, and Contestant Gohan has followed suit! This is incredible! The ki from their battle is shaking the entire arena, and both have taken flight!"

"Their terrifying energy has thrown the entire arena into chaos. For these two, a tournament ring is completely unnecessary!"

Indeed, the two soared high into the sky, locked in a fierce struggle.

For a time, they were evenly matched, locked in an inextricable battle.

Neither held anything back; from the very start, they had used every ounce of their strength!

Fist met fist, a collision of pure combat power, and for the moment, they were at a complete stalemate.

Watching all this, the East Supreme Kai was stunned, unable to maintain his previous composure. He suddenly realized that the Saiyans were far too terrifying.

Was this really the same Saiyan race that had been wiped out by Frieza?

Either one of these two could easily crush the entire Frieza force!

The East Supreme Kai was shocked, overwhelmed by their terrifying combat power, which had far exceeded his imagination.

What made him turn even paler, however, were the words of Son Goku standing nearby. Frowning as he watched the two, Son Goku said with a serious expression:

"This is only the beginning. Gohan's ki is still rising, and Vegeta hasn't fully unleashed his own yet."

"These two are truly formidable. Both are holding something back; until now, this has likely just been a warm-up!"

Indeed, their close-quarters combat was merely a warm-up. Both were testing each other.

And both were holding back!

Because Vegeta knew Gohan had too many trump cards, he wasn't in a hurry to expose his full strength.

He was completely different from last time; he was no longer careless, merely trying to familiarize himself with Gohan's techniques.

Gohan was the same; he also wanted to see exactly where the strength of Super Vegeta lay.

Thus, he accompanied Vegeta as they descended from the sky back onto the ring.

The moment they landed, the entire arena shook violently!

Rumble!

The ring sank significantly, plunging dozens of meters deep. Once they landed, they exchanged a few blows before distancing themselves.

The onlookers held their breath as they watched. The referee, looking serious, still performed his duties professionally by stepping onto the ring.

Standing closest to them, he could feel their suppressed, powerful ki.

"Contestant Vegeta and Contestant Gohan have separated, but they are still gathering their ki. It seems they don't intend to continue with close-quarters combat."

"Are they planning to compete with something else?"

Sure enough, the moment the referee finished speaking, Gohan took the initiative and launched his attack.

"100% Ultimate Perfect Kamehameha, ha!"

Whoosh! Bang!

Gohan's Perfect Kamehameha was fired instantly at 100% power. The entire process took less than a second as a massive Energy Cannon shot out directly.

The terrifying energy of that blast left even Son Goku looking surprised, and he couldn't help but offer a word of praise.

"Gohan's Kamehameha is even more powerful than mine. This 100% Ultimate Perfect version is incredible; if it hit the Earth, it could shatter the entire planet!"

The massive Kamehameha terrified the crowd in the stands.

Yamcha and the others gasped, their faces turning pale as they felt the incoming blast.

They were terrified that if Vegeta dodged, it would slam directly into them.

Oolong and the others huddled together in a ball!

"Waaah, we don't want to die! Vegeta, please don't dodge! If you dodge, the Earth is finished—protect the planet!"

"Geez, what is Gohan doing? A Kamehameha this big—is he planning to kill all the spectators?"

"Vegeta, hurry up and block that Kamehameha!"

Unfortunately, Vegeta had no intention of sacrificing himself for the audience, knowing full well the lethality of Gohan's attack.

He moved his entire body, dodging with lightning speed and narrowly grazing past Gohan's Kamehameha to clear the blast zone.

Unlike last time, he had no desire to take it head-on!

As he dodged, Bulma and the others huddled even tighter, terrified that Gohan might lose control and drag them into the fray.

"We're, we're done for! What is Gohan doing? Why does he seem even more worked up than Vegeta?"

"Gohan, don't do anything reckless! We're still right here—your Kamehameha is too big!"

Only Videl watched with a serious expression; she understood perfectly well that Gohan wouldn't be so reckless.

Clearly, when Vegeta dodged, the cold smirk on Gohan's lips showed he had anticipated it all along.

Gohan raised one hand and immediately used Instant Transmission.

Appearing right in front of his own Kamehameha, he raised both hands and, relying on his own strength, caught the Perfect Kamehameha completely.

With a casual flick, he forced the Ultimate Perfect Kamehameha to change direction, pulling a sharp 180-degree turn.

It surged back toward Vegeta, who was descending from high above.

Vegeta's expression shifted; he never imagined this brat could make his own energy wave turn corners!

He gritted his teeth, his face twisted in uncontrollable rage.

"Argh, you damn brat! Take this—Final Flash!"

"Aaaah! Final Flash!"

Raising his hands, Vegeta was forced to pour out all his remaining Ki to clash against Gohan's Ultimate Perfect Kamehameha!

He burned through a massive amount of Ki to completely neutralize Gohan's attack.

Rumble!

The two energy masses vanished, dissolving into starlight in mid-air.

Gohan lunged forward again, rushing in even though he had little Ki left after releasing the Ultimate Perfect Kamehameha.

But Vegeta was in the same boat, though unfortunately for him, even without Ki, Gohan still had other abilities.

"Goro Goro no Mi Awakening: Thunder God Possession! Trillion Volts! Thunder God Possession: Summon Thunder Dragon!"

"Divine Power of Lightning!"

Crackling!

Lightning flashed as the sky suddenly changed color; a bolt of lightning descended, enveloping Gohan from head to toe.

He was now possessed by lightning, his entire body crackling with trillions of volts of electricity.

Even if Vegeta didn't know what this was, seeing the lightning constantly surging around Gohan's body made it clear: one touch would mean death or serious injury. This brat really did have an ace up his sleeve!

How despicable!

Not far away, Son Goku marveled, shocked once again by Gohan's methods.

"Gohan, to think he can still pull off something like this after running out of Ki. What is this? Thunder God Possession? Looking at that lightning, it could probably electrocute anyone."

"If I don't turn Super Saiyan 3, I wouldn't dare touch him!"

Even he wouldn't dare make contact carelessly.

Let alone Vegeta, who watched as Gohan waved a hand, summoning a Thunder Dragon that charged straight at him.

Not daring to take it head-on, Vegeta flew up once more.

He fired an Energy Cannon at the Thunder Dragon, but unfortunately, the blast had no effect on the dragon at all.

It was completely neutralized by the power of Gohan's Goro Goro no Mi!

Gohan smirked, his voice filled with arrogance: "Vegeta, my lightning is a force of nature. Unless your Ki is strong enough, you can't break through my Thunder Dragon."

"Unless, of course, you use Final Flash again!"

Vegeta gritted his teeth; his Ki hadn't recovered yet, so how could he possibly use another Final Flash?

Knowing that Vegeta needed time to recover his ki, Gohan immediately sent a Trillion Volts Thunder Dragon to chase him down during this window.

It slammed directly into Vegeta's body!

BOOM!

Struck by the Thunder Dragon in mid-air, Vegeta was left smoking all over, his teeth gritted as he forcibly resisted the massive surge of electricity.

In the end, he actually managed to withstand it.

Even Gohan couldn't help but marvel; as expected of Vegeta, he had managed to block the Trillion Volts Thunder Dragon Power despite being heavily injured.

The Thunder Dragon vanished, and the lightning coursing over Gohan's body slowly began to fade.

Vegeta gritted his teeth and raised both hands; Gohan hadn't expected this final Final Flash, not because he couldn't resist it.

Rather, he felt that the current Vegeta was acting a bit hysterical.

Gohan couldn't help but speak up: "Your ki hasn't recovered yet. Are you planning to burn your life force to restore your ki by unleashing a Final Flash now?"

This was clearly the same move used against Majin Buu, yet he hadn't expected it to be unleashed here.

Vegeta's face was twisted with fury, but he didn't care: "Shut up! My goal is Kakarot. If I can't even defeat Kakarot's son!"

"Then I am no Prince of the Saiyans, and I am not Vegeta!"
