Sun Wukong, Can You Keep Up With My Speed?

"Snap!"

Sun Wukong raised his arm to catch the fist Frieza threw at him, then drove his knee upward with force, slamming it into Frieza's abdomen.

Frieza's reaction was lightning-fast; he dodged to the side, evading Sun Wukong's attack.

Immediately following, Frieza lashed out with a kick.

Sun Wukong leaped backward, avoiding the incoming strike, and instantly shot into the sky, soaring to a great height.

Frieza's lips curled upward, a gleam flickering in his eyes.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Two crimson streaks of light shot toward Sun Wukong in the air at incredible speed.

"Swish!"

Sun Wukong flickered and vanished from his spot, reappearing behind Frieza to land a heavy blow on his back.

"Pfft..."

Frieza spat out a mouthful of bile on the spot, feeling as though his entire body was falling apart.

The next moment, Frieza, burning with shame and rage, spun around and delivered a side kick.

Sun Wukong dodged the strike.

Frieza charged forward, teeth bared and claws out, unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks at Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong used his arms to parry every one of Frieza's strikes.

"Ohohoho! Sun Wukong, can you keep up with my speed?" Frieza let out a wild laugh and suddenly accelerated his attack.

"Bang!"

Sun Wukong's pupils constricted slightly as he threw a fierce uppercut, landing a direct hit on Frieza's abdomen.

"Pfft..."

Frieza sprayed another mouthful of bile, veins bulging on his forehead. His face turned deathly pale, and he struggled to even react.

Is this my imagination?

How has Sun Wukong become this strong?

And he hasn't even turned into a Super Saiyan yet!

How is this possible?

"Aaaah!"

Frieza let out a roar and suddenly waved his hand, energy erupting from his palm.

Sun Wukong flickered and vanished from his spot.

"Boom!"

The energy Frieza released instantly leveled a corner of Namek.

The entire planet looked as if a piece had been sliced off by a small blade.

The many Namekians on Namek watched this shocking scene, frozen in place, sweat dripping down their faces.

It's a good thing we evacuated early.

Otherwise, at this rate, Namek would be blown to pieces sooner or later.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Just as everyone was looking at the crystal ball, seven glowing Dragon Balls suddenly fell from the sky, crashing down near Krillin and the others.

Krillin and his companions turned their heads, showing signs of surprise.

"Are those the Dragon Balls of Namek? They're huge, much bigger than the Dragon Balls on Earth!" Krillin remarked.

"Indeed! Truly amazing!" Yamcha nodded.

"The Dragon Balls of Namek... the real Dragon Balls?" Tien Shinhan also clicked his tongue in wonder.

"Excellent, the Dragon Balls of Namek have come with us as well." A gratified smile appeared on Grand Elder's face as he fixed his gaze on Muri.

"Grand Elder!" Muri's expression turned solemn as he immediately bowed.

"I know my lifespan is nearing its end; I will die in no more than seven days." Grand Elder sighed softly, though there was no lingering regret on his face as he smiled, "After I pass, you shall be the Grand Elder of Namek!"

"Yes, Grand Elder." Muri bowed once more.

The many Namekians present observed a few seconds of silence for the Grand Elder.

Krillin and the others were left speechless.

He isn't dying for another seven days, is he?

There's no need to hold a memorial service so soon, right?

"Go, Dad!" Gohan clenched his fists tightly, standing by the crystal ball with a look of intense nervousness.

The battle between Sun Wukong and Frieza continued.

Seeing the immense energy surging from Frieza destroy a portion of the planet, Sun Wukong took a deep breath.

"Whoosh!"

Sun Wukong flickered and vanished from his spot, reappearing behind Frieza at blinding speed to deliver a powerful kick to his head.

"Awoo..."

Frieza let out a miserable shriek, lunging forward and slamming headfirst into a rock ahead.

"Rumble!"

Frieza's body continued to slide forward, rolling from one small island to another and kicking up clouds of dust.

However, Frieza stood up from the rubble below as if nothing had happened, shaking his head.

Sun Wukong stared at Frieza intently, feeling his strength grow even more formidable.

"I never would have imagined it, Sun Wukong!" Frieza was deeply shocked as well, narrowing his eyes at Sun Wukong high above. "Perhaps you've experienced something special! Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to have become this strong!"

"You're right," Sun Wukong nodded.

"Very well, next, let me show you this!" Frieza said, waving his hands lightly toward the nearby stones.

Instantly, the rocks scattered across the ground were lifted into the air under Frieza's control.

Frieza thrust his hands forward.

Those stones controlled by Frieza immediately shot toward Sun Wukong at extreme speed.

Sun Wukong: "..."

This move again!

Sun Wukong punched and kicked the incoming stones, easily shattering them into pieces.

"Got you!" Frieza suddenly appeared behind Sun Wukong, his smile widening.

"Behind me!" Sun Wukong had long since sensed Frieza's energy, delivering a magnificent flying kick that struck Frieza squarely on the chin.

"Awoo..."

Frieza felt as if his jaw were about to dislocate, howling in pain.

"Haha, Frieza, I can already sense your energy; this trick of yours is useless against me!" Sun Wukong grinned, clenching his fists and landing a heavy blow on Frieza's body.

"Rumble!"

Frieza's body slammed into the ground below like a nuclear bomb, triggering a massive explosion.

Vast energy radiated outward from where Frieza landed, the shockwaves spreading endlessly and kicking up a giant mushroom cloud.

Piccolo was stunned into silence on the sidelines.

Maybe I should stand further back...

Both of them are monsters!

Also, the Grand Elder of Namek said that if I re-assimilated with that old geezer, the Guardian, I could defeat Frieza?

Why does that seem so unlikely to me?

Sacred World of the Kai.

"Ahem... I take back what I said earlier." The Grand Elder's mouth twitched, and he offered an awkward smile as he spoke.

The Namekians and Krillin present immediately turned their gazes toward the Grand Elder, momentarily confused, unsure of what he meant.

"I told Katas's child earlier... that if he assimilated with Earth's Guardian, he could defeat Frieza." The Grand Elder sighed helplessly and said in a deep voice, "It seems I underestimated Frieza's true power!"
