In truth, in the original story, the Frieza that the Grand Elder saw on Namek was merely in his first form, possessing a combat power of only 530,000.
This was the reason the Grand Elder was certain that Piccolo merging with the Guardian would be enough to defeat Frieza.
Later, after Piccolo merged with Nail, his combat power surged to nearly 1.5 million.
However, in the present day, both Sun Wukong and Frieza possess combat powers well into the hundreds of millions.
Despite the vast distance between them, the Grand Elder had already sensed Frieza's immense energy through the Old Supreme Kai's crystal ball.
"Is this really all there is?" The Old Supreme Kai paced back and forth, shaking his head.
"What do you mean, Lord Old Supreme Kai?" the Grand Elder asked, slightly startled.
"This is merely a warm-up match between Sun Wukong and Frieza; the true battle has yet to begin," the Old Supreme Kai said with a smile.
"The true battle hasn't begun? This is just a warm-up?" The Grand Elder was stunned.
"That's right! Goku hasn't even transformed yet!" Krillin nodded in agreement.
"Transformed?" The Grand Elder blinked.
"It's that transformation where his whole body radiates golden light. Once he turns into that, his aura increases drastically," Krillin smiled. "Back then, Vegeta was scared off by this very transformation of Goku's! Even when Vegeta turned into a Great Ape, he was no match for Goku."
"Could it be... a Super Saiyan?" The Grand Elder suddenly realized something, his expression shifting repeatedly.
"Goku did seem to mention the words 'Super Saiyan,' didn't he?" Krillin asked, looking toward Gohan and the others with uncertainty.
"That's right, Dad's transformation is indeed called the Super Saiyan transformation," Gohan nodded, not denying it.
"I never imagined this Mr. Sun Wukong was a Super Saiyan. Truly remarkable!" The Grand Elder sighed continuously, his expression filled with a hint of excitement.
"Super Saiyan... known as the most powerful being in the entire universe!" Nail muttered under his breath.
"Actually, it's nothing special," Kibito curled his lip and smiled indifferently.
In the presence of a god, a Super Saiyan truly didn't amount to much.
How could he possibly be as powerful as Lord Supreme Kai?
Frieza shot into the sky, appearing directly opposite Sun Wukong, his expression turning somewhat grim.
"Sun Wukong, I truly underestimated you!" Frieza narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with intense hatred.
"The feeling is mutual," Sun Wukong nodded with a smile.
"The warm-up ends here. Let's get on with the real fight!" Frieza snorted coldly.
"That's what I was thinking, too." Sun Wukong did not object, nodding in agreement.
The two stared at each other.
Deep hatred welled up in Frieza's eyes.
Sun Wukong's expression remained as calm as water, devoid of joy or sorrow, and even tinged with a strange sense of excitement.
Because after the sparring match with Frieza just now, Sun Wukong felt his own strength had recovered a bit more.
He was nearing forty percent of his peak power.
Sun Wukong even wanted to thank Frieza properly.
If not for Frieza, his strength would never have improved so rapidly in such a short time.
"You prefer fighting on the ground, don't you?" Frieza's lips curled upward as he turned his head to look at a large expanse of land, gesturing toward it.
"Yes, I do." Sun Wukong nodded.
The two descended together toward the land.
"Sun Wukong, I'm going to get serious now. Be careful!" Frieza's smile grew even more radiant.
"I look forward to it," Sun Wukong smiled slightly.
"You'll be shocked by what I do next. I hope you aren't afraid!" As Frieza spoke, his body underwent a rapid transformation, shifting in an instant into his second form and becoming tall and muscular.
Sun Wukong: "????"
I thought he was going to turn into something else...
Why did he just change into his second form?
But thinking about it, if Frieza's first form was already this powerful, his second form should be quite impressive as well.
"How about that, Sun Wukong!" Frieza rubbed his nose. "Are you shocked by this change of mine?"
Sun Wukong, however, showed little expression on his face, remaining as calm as water.
"That calm look of yours is really annoying!" Frieza felt as if he had punched a pile of cotton; it was incredibly irritating.
At least act shocked for me to see!
With you acting so calm, I feel like this transformation was a waste.
"Frieza, did you lose your memory?" Sun Wukong asked, looking somewhat puzzled.
"What?" Frieza was taken aback.
"Don't you know that I can turn into this form too?" Sun Wukong said, and without a moment's hesitation, golden flames erupted from his body as he activated his Super Saiyan transformation.
Frieza's pupils constricted violently; his eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets, and his jaw nearly hit the ground.
What was going on?
A Super Saiyan?
How could Sun Wukong transform into a Super Saiyan at this point in time?
How did he manage it?
"You... when did you become a Super Saiyan?" Frieza was stunned, his expression growing increasingly bewildered.
"It seems you really have lost your memory!" Sun Wukong smiled. "Didn't I fight you on your planet before?"
Frieza rubbed his head, feeling momentarily dazed.
Sun Wukong fought me on my planet before?
So... the reason Planet 79 was destroyed like that was because of Sun Wukong?
And the reason I was reborn into this period was because I was killed by Sun Wukong during this time?
But how could that be possible?
Why did Sun Wukong transform into a Super Saiyan ahead of schedule?
"It seems I really underestimated you!" Frieza gritted his teeth, his irritation mounting.
"Frieza, I already gave you a chance. You shouldn't have come to Namek," Sun Wukong said with a calm expression.
"Hmph, Sun Wukong, do you know what I hate most about you? It's that sanctimonious look on your face! It makes me feel absolutely sick!" With a furious roar, Frieza charged rapidly toward Sun Wukong.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Frieza unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks at Sun Wukong.
After a few rounds of exchanging blows, Sun Wukong suddenly raised his hand, grabbed Frieza by the tail, and began spinning him around in place.
"Whoosh!"
Sun Wukong let go, and Frieza shot out like a projectile, slamming headfirst into a nearby boulder.
The boulder collapsed, burying Frieza underneath.
However, Frieza soared into the sky almost immediately, charging toward Sun Wukong once again.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The two engaged in another fierce confrontation in the air.
Krillin and the others at the Sacred World of the Kai were left dumbfounded.
None of them had expected Frieza to be capable of transformation.
Even more shocking was that after transforming into this state, he could still fight so intensely against a Super Saiyan Wukong.
"Is... is this Frieza's true power?" Krillin's lips trembled.
"This guy is too terrifying. He truly lives up to his name as the Universe Emperor!" Yamcha sighed.
"Hmph, you haven't seen anything yet," the Old Supreme Kai shook his head and chuckled. "Frieza hasn't even shown his true strength yet!"
At these words, Krillin and the others present were stunned once again.
Frieza had already transformed into this state, and he still hadn't shown his true strength?
