"It seemed you had a pretty good grasp of your own limitations." The Supreme Kai smiled and nodded.
"Then let's have a match, just the two of us. We're evenly matched, so I can improve my strength as quickly as possible!" Sun Wukong took a deep breath.
"You've got some nerve, kid! You actually want to fight Lord Supreme Kai? Let me tell you, you're nowhere near his level! I'm not bragging, but all Lord Supreme Kai has to do is glare at you and you'll go flying!" Kibito sneered from the side, laughing coldly.
The Supreme Kai's lips curled into a confident smile.
"Huh? You might have a point." Sun Wukong nodded thoughtfully. "With my strength as it is now, the gap between me and Lord Supreme Kai is indeed huge."
Sun Wukong remembered that the Supreme Kai's strength seemed to be about on par with Cell in his perfect form.
But he was no match for Super Perfect Cell, and wasn't anywhere near Super Saiyan 2's level.
Many people thought that the Supreme Kai's strength was about on par with Son Gohan as a Super Saiyan 2.
But in reality, that wasn't the case.
If the Supreme Kai's strength were really about on par with Son Gohan as a Super Saiyan 2, he wouldn't have been unable to pull out the Z Sword, nor would he have feared Demon King Dabura.
From this, it was clear that the Supreme Kai's strength was roughly at the level of Cell in his perfect form.
That was why the Supreme Kai had said he could easily kill Frieza in an instant.
"But... who would be a good opponent?" Sun Wukong rested his chin in his hand and fell into thought.
At that moment, Sun Wukong felt that fighting the Supreme Kai would be a bit beyond his abilities.
After all, the gap between them was still too great.
It would be best to find someone around his own strength to fight. That way, he could improve himself more effectively.
"I can tell that you're still weaker than that guy called Frieza." Kibito smiled faintly. "You want to challenge Lord Supreme Kai? Beat Frieza first!"
"Frieza?" Sun Wukong froze for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
How could I have forgotten about Frieza?
With my energy at its current level, fighting Frieza... should help me improve my strength faster, right?
Right, Frieza!
He's the one!
"You're absolutely right, Kibito. I'll go find Frieza and fight him right now." Sun Wukong was thrilled. He pressed his index and middle fingers together against his forehead, focused his senses, and searched for Frieza's location.
"Is that Instant Transmission, the Yardrats' technique?" the Supreme Kai couldn't help asking.
"Yes." Sun Wukong nodded.
"When did you learn Instant Transmission?" Kibito asked next.
"Um... I learned it a long time ago." Sun Wukong answered, then said a little helplessly, "Lord Supreme Kai, Kibito, could you please be quiet? It's easy to lose focus like this, and then I can't sense Frieza's energy!"
The Supreme Kai and Kibito's faces darkened, and they said no more.
This kid had no respect for us at all!
Sun Wukong continued focusing his senses, searching the universe for Frieza's energy.
Ten seconds later.
Sun Wukong's eyes lit up.
"Found him! Great! I'm off, Lord Supreme Kai and Kibito." After saying that, Sun Wukong vanished in a flash.
The Supreme Kai and Kibito were speechless.
Was that guy really going to find Frieza?
"But this works out well. If Sun Wukong takes care of Frieza, that saves us the trouble." The Supreme Kai smiled and nodded.
"Exactly. We've been too busy with Majin Buu to keep an eye on Frieza all these years. That guy's been running rampant across the universe. He really deserves to be punished." Kibito readily agreed.
"What do you two fools know?" Old Supreme Kai rolled his eyes and scolded them irritably.
"Why do you say that, Great Ancestor?" The Supreme Kai was confused.
"Before Lord Beerus went to sleep, he specifically arranged for Frieza to work for him and destroy planets!" Old Supreme Kai sighed. "So I can tell you for certain: Frieza is practically Lord Beerus's representative!"
"Lord Beerus? Who's that?" The Supreme Kai froze, looking utterly bewildered.
"Y-you don't even know who Lord Beerus is?" Old Supreme Kai's eyes widened as he stared at the Supreme Kai like he was an idiot.
"I've never heard of him!" The Supreme Kai shook his head.
"Great Ancestor, I haven't heard of Lord Beerus either." Kibito answered as well.
Old Supreme Kai didn't want to say another word.
How could these two be so stupid?
"Spend more time reading... instead of doing pointless things!" Old Supreme Kai scolded them angrily.
He paused.
"Also, you two should stop worrying about that guy called Majin Buu. Leave this matter to Goku. I'm sure he can defeat Majin Buu." Old Supreme Kai added.
The Supreme Kai and Kibito were dumbfounded, at a loss for words.
Could Sun Wukong, who couldn't even beat us, defeat Majin Buu?
Great Ancestor, are you joking?
Frieza Planet 79.
After Vegeta and Nappa arrived on Earth, Frieza's crew had heard every word of their conversation with Sun Wukong and the others through their Scouters.
At that very moment, Frieza sat in his hoverchair with a smile on his face, his tail swaying gently behind him.
"Oh-ho-ho-ho! Dragon Balls? They can grant any wish?" Frieza's smile grew brighter.
"Lord Frieza, judging from the information we received from the scene, after the Dragon Balls are used once, they need a year to recharge." Zarbon took over, bowing to Frieza. "Even if we went to Earth now, we probably wouldn't be able to make a wish, would we?"
"That wish seems to have brought someone called Sun Wukong back to life." Dodoria nodded from the side, gritting his teeth with annoyance. "Damn it, all they did was revive some useless person! What a waste!"
"Of course I know that!" Frieza smiled faintly. "But who said I was going to Earth?"
"You're not going to Earth?" Zarbon froze.
"Didn't Vegeta and Nappa say it?" Frieza chuckled. "The one who created the Dragon Balls should be a Namekian. Since there are Dragon Balls on Earth, there must be Dragon Balls on Namek as well!"
"As expected of you, Lord Frieza!"
Zarbon and Dodoria hurried to flatter him.
"Make preparations. We're leaving for Namek at once to search for the Dragon Balls!" Frieza made his decision and issued the order.
"Yes, Lord Frieza!"
Zarbon and Dodoria bowed again.
"By the way, how long does it take to get from here to Namek?" Frieza turned to ask Dodoria beside him.
"At your service, Lord Frieza. It should take about fourteen days!" Dodoria replied.
"Fourteen days, is it?" Frieza's smile grew brighter, and he let out a string of strange laughs. "In fourteen days, Frieza's wish will come true! Oh-ho-ho-ho!"
"Lord Frieza, may I ask what sort of wish you want to make?" Zarbon asked curiously.
"Of course I want to become immortal!" Frieza smiled faintly.
