Everyone was dumbfounded when Luya used Instant Transmission!
Why could Luya use Instant Transmission? Wasn't that Goku's technique? Had the other guy been to that planet too?
Gohan was a little puzzled. He could understand if Luya knew the Kamehameha—after all, he had taught him—but he didn't even know Instant Transmission himself!
After landing a devastating blow on Frieza, Luya kicked him flying. Then he vanished again, reappearing in front of Frieza the next instant and striking another devastating blow. Frieza was like a punching bag, with Luya relentlessly pummeling him!
Bang!
"Ugh!"
Luya clasped both hands together and smashed Frieza into the ground with one blow. The ground cracked wide open!
Hovering in the air, Luya looked down, then brought his hands together at his waist.
Everyone recognized the familiar stance at once. It was the Kamehameha!
Krillin's face was slick with cold sweat. "Gohan, did you teach him the Kamehameha?"
Gohan nodded. "That's right. I taught him."
Actually, he hadn't taught him. Luya had a system, so he could learn it directly. Gohan just didn't know that.
"Ka... me... ha... me... ha!!!"
Rumble!
In an instant, a tremendous amount of energy gathered between Luya's hands, radiating dazzling light!
"Hah!!"
Luya thrust his hands forward. A gigantic energy wave erupted like a fountain and plunged straight into the ground!
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
A massive explosion erupted, and the entire island began to shake!
"Get out of here!" Gohan's expression changed. He flashed over to Bulma, then flew away with her.
The others saw what was happening and hurriedly flew far away too!
Rumble!
Luya's Kamehameha flattened the entire island. The island collapsed, and waves surged across the water...
Whoosh, whoosh...
Wrapped in golden energy, Luya looked down impassively. He didn't think he'd killed Frieza. That guy still hadn't shown his true strength!
At the thought, Luya suddenly grew wary.
Meanwhile, the others had reached another island and were watching the scene with grave expressions.
"Do you think Luya can really beat Frieza?" Krillin asked uncertainly.
Gohan shook his head. "I don't know. Frieza must have come to Earth fully prepared. He's in his final form now, but I still have a bad feeling about this!"
"I feel the same way," Tien Shinhan said gravely.
"But the fact that Luya can fight Frieza to this extent is already incredible. At least he can buy us some time while we wait for Goku and the others to come back!" Piccolo said solemnly.
At that, everyone felt rather helpless. They still hadn't heard anything from Goku and the others, and Whis wasn't contacting Bulma either. Without that, they had no way to find them!
All they could do now was wait.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a faint tremor shook the area. Everyone tensed.
Luya, hovering in the air, watched the water with a serious expression. It looked as though something was about to burst out from beneath it!
Boom!
The next second, a huge column of water shot into the sky!
A blurry figure rose from within the water column, but Luya didn't need to guess who it was. It was Frieza!
The guy really was fine!
That only made Luya more excited. The stronger his opponent, the more excited he got!
Frieza slowly rose into the air. He wasn't seriously injured, but the scrapes on his body still left him looking a little battered.
Frieza stared expressionlessly at Luya, his thoughts unreadable.
Luya looked at him, then smiled slightly. "This is interesting. You're actually fine..."
His power level was a hundred billion higher than Frieza's, but even now he'd only gained a slight advantage. That showed just how much greater Frieza's combat experience was than his own!
Frieza studied Luya gravely, then said, "Your current power is truly baffling. How can you be this strong? Are you really a Saiyan from another universe?"
Luya raised an eyebrow. "What else would I be?"
Frieza's expression immediately turned cold. "I didn't expect Saiyans from other universes to be so powerful. Does that mean there's a race like mine over there too?"
Luya was a little surprised. How had Frieza figured that out? He wasn't a Saiyan from another universe, but he knew there was one universe with powerful fighters similar to those in their Universe 7. That was Universe 6. It had Saiyans, as well as a conniving little man much like Frieza...
Seeing Luya's expression, Frieza understood. "Looks like I guessed right!"
Luya shook his head. "All right, enough talk. Let's fight again. I'm here to beat you, not to shoot the breeze!"
"Shoot the breeze? What does that mean?" Frieza asked, confused.
"Uh..." Luya paused, then looked a little awkward. He'd only just remembered that the way people spoke in his world was a bit different from the way they spoke here. "It means exactly what it sounds like. Shooting the breeze. Got it?"
"Are you an outsider?" Frieza frowned.
Luya's eyes widened. "Damn, you know what an outsider is?"
Frieza furrowed his brow, then said coldly, "You think you can defeat me? That's impossible!"
He had always been defeated by Saiyans. How could he tolerate suffering that humiliation again?
Luya's lips curled into a smile. "I know you still haven't shown your true power. So transform already!!"
"What?!" Frieza's expression stiffened. He stared at Luya in disbelief. "How... how did you know I could transform again?"
His ability to transform into Golden Frieza was a secret—his ultimate technique. How could the other guy know about it?
Luya smiled faintly. "Because I know this story inside out!"
Frieza: "..."
"Come on! Show me how powerful Golden Frieza is!! Otherwise, you're no match for me as you are now!!" Luya said with a teasing grin.
Frieza's expression darkened. He was wary. Not only did Luya know he hadn't transformed yet, he even knew the name he'd given his Golden Frieza form! Who was this guy? It made Frieza intensely suspicious!
But he had no way back now. If he didn't transform again, he wouldn't be able to beat this Saiyan! If that happened, his plan would fail completely!
"Hmph! I'd prepared this for Sun Wukong, but since you're provoking me so much, I'll gladly oblige!" Frieza suddenly sneered. The energy around him began to surge wildly.
