Actually, in the original story, the Frieza the Grand Elder encountered on Namek was only in his first form, with a battle power of just 530,000.
That was why the Grand Elder was so sure that Piccolo and the Guardian could defeat Frieza if they merged.
Later, Piccolo merged with Nail, and his battle power skyrocketed to nearly 1.5 million.
But now, both Sun Wukong and Frieza had battle powers in the hundreds of millions.
Though they were separated by an immense distance, the Grand Elder had already sensed Frieza's tremendous energy through the Old Supreme Kai's crystal ball.
"What do you mean, 'that's nothing'?" The Old Supreme Kai paced back and forth, shaking his head.
"What do you mean, Lord Old Supreme Kai?" The Grand Elder asked, slightly taken aback.
"This is just a warm-up between Sun Wukong and Frieza. The real fight hasn't even begun," the Old Supreme Kai said with a smile.
"The real fight hasn't begun? This is only a warm-up?" The Grand Elder was stunned.
"That's right! Goku hasn't transformed yet!" Krillin nodded in agreement.
"Transformed?" The Grand Elder was puzzled.
"He gives off a golden aura all over. After he turns into that, his power increases dramatically," Krillin said with a smile. "Vegeta was so scared when Goku transformed like that that he ran away! Even after Vegeta turned into a Great Ape, he still wasn't a match for Goku."
"Could it be... a Super Saiyan?" The Grand Elder suddenly realized something, and his expression shifted again and again.
"Goku did say the words 'Super Saiyan,' didn't he?" Krillin asked Son Gohan and the others, sounding unsure.
"That's right. Dad's transformation is indeed called the Super Saiyan transformation," Son Gohan said, nodding without denying it.
"I never expected Mr. Sun Wukong to be a Super Saiyan. He truly is remarkable!" The Grand Elder exclaimed repeatedly, looking rather excited.
"Super Saiyan... They're said to be the strongest people in the entire universe," Nail muttered.
"Honestly, they're nothing special," Kibito said with a scoff and a calm smile.
Super Saiyans were nothing special in the presence of a god.
How could he possibly be as powerful as Lord Supreme Kai?
Frieza shot into the sky and appeared directly across from Sun Wukong, his expression already turning grim.
"Sun Wukong, I really did underestimate you!" Frieza narrowed his eyes, hatred filling his gaze.
"Same here," Sun Wukong said with a smile and a nod.
"That's enough warm-up. Let's get to the real fight!" Frieza scoffed.
"That's what I was thinking too." Sun Wukong nodded in agreement.
The two stared at each other.
Frieza's eyes brimmed with hatred.
Sun Wukong's expression was calm as still water, without joy or sorrow, and he even seemed a little excited for some reason.
After sparring with Frieza just now, Sun Wukong felt that he had regained more of his strength.
He was already close to having forty percent of his peak power back.
Sun Wukong almost wanted to thank Frieza properly.
If it weren't for Frieza, his strength would never have improved so quickly in such a short time.
"You're better at fighting on the ground, aren't you?" Frieza smirked, turning to look at a large stretch of land and pointing toward it.
"Yes." Sun Wukong nodded.
The two descended together toward the land.
"Sun Wukong, I'm about to get serious. Be careful!" Frieza's smile grew brighter.
"I'm looking forward to it," Sun Wukong replied with a faint smile.
"What I'm about to do will shock you. I hope you're not scared!" As Frieza spoke, his body quickly changed. In an instant, he had transformed into his second form, growing much taller.
Sun Wukong: "????"
I thought he was going to turn into something else...
Why did he turn into his second form?
But on second thought, Frieza was already so powerful in his first form. His second form must be incredible too.
"Well, Sun Wukong?" Frieza rubbed his nose. "Did my transformation shock you?"
But Sun Wukong showed little expression, remaining as calm as still water.
"That calm expression of yours is really annoying!" Frieza felt as if he'd punched a cushion, and his skin started to crawl.
The least you could do was look surprised!
You're so calm that it feels like I transformed for nothing.
"Frieza, have you lost your memory?" Sun Wukong asked curiously.
"What?" Frieza was taken aback.
"Don't you know I can turn into this?" Sun Wukong said. Without another moment's hesitation, golden flames burst around him as he transformed into a Super Saiyan.
Frieza's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets and his jaw almost hitting the ground.
What was going on?
A Super Saiyan?
How could Sun Wukong turn into a Super Saiyan already?
How had he done it?
"Y-when did you become a Super Saiyan?" Frieza was stunned, his expression growing even more bewildered.
"Looks like you really have lost your memory!" Sun Wukong said with a smile. "Didn't I fight you on your planet before?"
Frieza rubbed his head, completely bewildered.
Sun Wukong had fought me on my planet before?
So... Sun Wukong was the one who destroyed Planet 79 like that?
And the reason I was reborn in this period was that the Frieza from this time had been killed by Sun Wukong?
But how could that be possible?
Why had Sun Wukong become a Super Saiyan so early?
"Looks like I really did underestimate you!" Frieza gritted his teeth, growing even more annoyed.
"Frieza, I already gave you a chance. You shouldn't have come to Namek," Sun Wukong said calmly.
"Hmph, Sun Wukong, do you know what I hate most about you? I hate that self-righteous act of yours! It disgusts me!" Frieza roared and charged straight at Sun Wukong.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Frieza unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks against Sun Wukong.
After several exchanges,
Sun Wukong suddenly raised a hand, grabbed Frieza by the tail, and spun around in place.
"Whoosh!"
Sun Wukong let go, and Frieza went flying, crashing headfirst into a nearby boulder.
The boulder collapsed, burying Frieza beneath it.
But Frieza soon shot into the sky and charged at Sun Wukong again.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The two clashed fiercely in the air once more.
Krillin and the others on the Sacred World of the Kai were all dumbfounded.
None of them had expected Frieza to have another transformation.
And after changing into this form, he could still fight Goku, who had become a Super Saiyan, so fiercely.
"C-could this be Frieza's true strength?" Krillin stammered, his lips trembling.
"That guy's terrifying. He really is the Universe Emperor!" Yamcha exclaimed.
"Hmph, that's nothing," the Old Supreme Kai said with a shake of his head and a chuckle. "Frieza still hasn't shown his true strength!"
At those words, Krillin and the others were stunned all over again.
Frieza had already transformed into that form, and he still hadn't shown his true strength?
