Vegeta's Training Method

Little Trunks was quite useful; just like that, he managed to secure Vegeta's combat training footage for him.

He even brought the machine along, earning a gratified word of praise from Gohan.

"Not bad, Trunks. It was worth my time taking you on as my student!"

The excited little Trunks shouted back.

"Master!"

Thinking about the future timeline, Trunks and Gohan really were master and student!

Taking on a little apprentice was actually quite interesting.

Especially since this apprentice was Vegeta's own son!

Patting the boy on the head, Gohan began tinkering with the combat footage, which would be a huge help in boosting his own combat power.

After all, Goten and Trunks were just little brats, and Piccolo's strength wasn't enough.

On Earth, the only one with truly overwhelming combat power was Vegeta!

Only by clearing Vegeta's combat footage could he train his various abilities and strengthen his two skills.

He activated the machine!

A protective, screen-like membrane instantly appeared, enveloping the entire area and forming an independent space.

In this world of advanced technology, this thing was truly impressive.

Soon, accompanied by the appearance of a figure in front of him, the machine-generated Vegeta stood before Gohan with his hands on his hips.

Holographic projection technology combined with a high-powered combat robot!

This sort of thing was not much worse than the androids created by Cell.

Within the hologram, Vegeta maintained his arrogant expression, staring down Gohan with a sneer and a curl of his lip.

Standing perfectly still without moving an inch, it really had inherited Vegeta's prideful personality!

Because of that arrogant nature, even as a combat projection, the robotic Vegeta was in no rush to move; after all, he was the Prince of all Saiyans.

Ordinary enemies weren't worth his time!

Gohan looked at the arrogant figure and curled his lip. "I didn't expect this projection to be just as stuck-up as the real Vegeta."

"Even if its strength doesn't compare to the real deal, it still loves to show off!"

The strength of this combat projection was only about 50% of the original's power, but of course, compared to ordinary people—especially the likes of Piccolo—it was insurmountable.

It was impossible for them to withstand a 50% Vegeta projection!

Now, only Gohan dared to face it head-on, and he had been impatient for this moment.

"Let me see what a 50% Vegeta is capable of!"

Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward, his body surged with energy, and he charged straight in, starting with Super Saiyan 1.

Standing his ground, the Vegeta projection sensed his Super Saiyan 1 power, curled his lip, and continued to sneer.

He raised one hand and fired an energy blast!

Who would have thought that Gohan would dodge it instantly, causing the Prince Vegeta projection's expression to shift slightly, revealing a surprisingly human look of disbelief.

Gohan chuckled. "Ordinary physical attacks won't work on me. Eat my Perfect Kamehameha!"

Gathering his energy, he unleashed a Perfect Kamehameha directly at his opponent.

The terrifying energy finally made the projection's expression change; it used Instant Transmission to zip away, grazing the edge of the Perfect Kamehameha's blast.

It hid to the side, watching as the Perfect Kamehameha slammed into the ground.

BOOM!

The earth shook and the mountains swayed; in that instant, it was like a nuclear explosion, the entire ground trembling as even the sky began to change color.

Not far away, little Goten and little Trunks watched everything with their mouths agape.

They looked over in disbelief.

"So, so powerful, Brother Gohan. This is just a projection of Dad; I wonder if the real Dad is even stronger than this!"

Indeed, even as a projection, the battle between the two was already terrifying.

If it were the real thing, this entire area would surely be completely destroyed.

After dodging Gohan's Perfect Kamehameha, Vegeta moved his entire body. This time, he didn't stand around posing, clearly acknowledging him as a worthy enemy.

He charged over, launching a storm of close-quarters attacks with his hands and feet.

Unfortunately, the countless attacks, falling like raindrops, were completely dodged by Gohan.

Vegeta's brows furrowed tightly, clearly unable to understand why his close-quarters combat was having no effect.

Gohan really wanted to tell him that his Ultra Instinct was a top-tier ability for close-quarters combat; even if he hadn't reached 1% mastery, he could still perfectly predict the trajectory of his opponent's attacks. Dodging the attacks of a non-transformed Vegeta was far too easy!

Seeing that his attacks were failing, the Vegeta projection had no choice but to create distance, and after a brief charge of energy, he transformed directly into Super Saiyan 1!

Gohan's eyes lit up at this; he truly hadn't expected a combat projection robot to be capable of transforming into a Super Saiyan 1 state.

Although it couldn't compare to Super Vegeta's transformation, it was still a formidable opponent.

This is perfect; now it's actually worth my time to train and hone my skills!

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

As he activated the ability, Gohan decided to put his newly acquired skill to the test, controlling the number of clones he produced.

He didn't create too many, opting instead to manifest two decoys.

Watching Gohan suddenly split into three, the Vegeta projection furrowed his brows and stared with a strange expression, clearly baffled by this bizarre technique.

However, in the next second, his pride drove him to gather his strength and charge forward.

He lunged at Gohan, only to be intercepted by the two clones, which latched onto him immediately, having inherited 20% of Gohan's combat power.

They instantly became entangled with the Vegeta projection.

Gohan realized that these clones were quite useful and performed better than expected.

They were perfectly capable of stalling an enemy; the fact that two clones could hold their own against a projection with 50% of Vegeta's power was truly a surprise.

Nodding to himself, he decided to push this ability to 100%.

This would naturally require long hours of training, and the Vegeta projection before him was the perfect sparring partner.

"97%, 98%, 99%, 100%!"

"Perfect, okay, Shadow Clone Technique at 100%. Now I can create the ultimate clones!"

His eyes brightened and he let out a laugh, watching the Vegeta ahead, who was now struggling while fighting the clones.

With a shout, he stopped tormenting his opponent and recalled all the shadow clones.

As they merged back into his body, he had mastered the perfect 100% Shadow Clone Technique and gained new strength.

He no longer needed to rely on two clones to distract his opponent.

Once the clones were absorbed, he didn't hesitate to unleash his newly mastered technique.

"Ka-me-ha-me-HA!"

"100% Clone Technique, Super Giant Perfect Kamehameha 100x!"

He gathered his energy before the Vegeta combat projection could react or even understand what he was doing.

In an instant, he split into ten, and those ten clones multiplied into over a hundred.

Over a hundred Gohans released the Perfect Kamehameha in unison, their energy waves converging to form a massive sphere of power.

The Vegeta projection in the distance shuddered, stunned and completely unable to react to such a terrifying Kamehameha!

The massive energy orb formed, completely blanketing the sky and earth; if this were fired at the planet, it would likely pierce straight through the Earth!

BOOM!

The terrifying 100x Perfect Kamehameha slammed directly into Vegeta's body, leaving the combat projection not even a chance to scream.

He was instantly evaporated into a cloud of mist, leaving behind only a shattered landscape and a crater in the distance.

The clouds in the sky were dispersed, and the entire planet seemed to tremble from the shockwave.

The two little ones watching from afar were stunned, completely dumbfounded!

"Whoa, Gohan, Brother Gohan's Kamehameha is so terrifying. If that hit the Earth, the planet would be finished, right?"

"Dad... Dad's projection just vanished without any resistance. And that was a combat simulation at 50% of Dad's power!"

Indeed, even Vegeta himself wouldn't dare to take that move head-on.

Who would dare to engage in a beam struggle with a member of the Son family?

If it came to raw power in a beam struggle, Gohan was absolutely top-tier; even Goku would likely be wary!

After all, the combined power of 100 clones releasing a Perfect Kamehameha simultaneously was enough to shatter a planet!

As Gohan ended the battle, he looked at the destruction he had caused and felt a headache coming on.

It looked like he would have to find a different place to train next time; that 100x Perfect Kamehameha had nearly destroyed the Earth.

He had even damaged the ozone layer; if he developed any more powerful techniques, he might end up blowing the planet to bits himself!

Shaking his head, he prepared to clean up before heading back, though he had to admit that Vegeta's combat data was incredibly useful.

After successfully reaching 100% with the Shadow Clone Technique, he had earned another draw for a reward.

Furthermore, his progress with Ultra Instinct was rapid; it had been at 0.5%, and now it had surged to 0.9%!

He was only a hair's breadth away from reaching 1%, which was the most exciting part of all.

One more training session with the Vegeta combat projection, and he would definitely hit 1% in Ultra Instinct.

As Gohan finished tidying up and prepared to leave, many people in the distance felt the ripple of that immense energy.

The sudden eruption of a 100x Perfect Kamehameha caused Piccolo, who was training in a remote location, to knit his brows.

Feeling that familiar energy signature, the corners of his mouth soon curled into a smile.

"That kid Gohan, to think he could release such massive energy in one go; I doubt even Vegeta could manage that."

It wasn't just Piccolo; even Vegeta, who was in the training room undergoing gravity training, felt this colossal sphere of energy and wore an expression of utter disbelief, stunned for a moment.

"Impossible. This is Gohan's energy. How could that brat suddenly erupt with such power?"

"It's completely impossible! What on earth did that kid do with my combat data?"

To this moment, Vegeta was truly bewildered; he simply could not understand how Gohan could unleash such immense energy after taking his combat data.

It was enough to make him feel a genuine sense of crisis!

Could he really not believe that this was all Gohan's doing?
