"I know you're still hiding an ace up your sleeve, Vegeta."
Qin Feng hovered in midair, looking down at Vegeta in the crater. "Quit holding back and show me what you can really do. Otherwise, I'm done playing this game with you."
Though they were both Super Saiyan 2, Qin Feng's foundation was far stronger. He completely overpowered Vegeta.
"Damn it..."
"Why is this happening? We're both Super Saiyan 2. What gives him the right to be so much stronger than me?!"
Vegeta slammed his fist into the crater floor, his eyes filled with resentment and humiliation.
He'd planned to save his trump card for Kakarot.
But it looked like he had no choice but to use it now!
Vegeta staggered to his feet and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. A haughty smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"I admit, you've got some skill."
"We're both Super Saiyan 2, but your power really is infuriating."
"But from here on, you're guaranteed to lose!"
"Because I surpassed Super Saiyan 2 long ago!"
Vegeta clenched both fists and arrogantly pointed his thumbs at himself.
"Open your eyes and take a good look! The strongest Saiyan will always be me, Prince Vegeta!"
He struck such a swaggering pose that he seemed even more arrogant than the king of the gods.
"Is Vegeta going to transform into a Super Saiyan 3?"
Son Goku, watching from below, immediately saw where Vegeta's confidence came from.
After all, Vegeta had no chance against Qin Feng as a Super Saiyan 2.
But Goku had a bad feeling: even if Vegeta transformed into a Super Saiyan 3, there was a good chance Qin Feng would still grind him into the dirt.
"Idiot."
"The harder you're bragging now, the more it'll hurt when you get smacked down later." Qin Feng yawned, bored.
Judging by the way this guy was showing off, he'd clearly learned to transform into a Super Saiyan 3 in Hell.
"Haaah!"
Just then, Vegeta suddenly took a fighting stance and let out a deafening roar.
A torrent of golden light burst from his body.
Visible waves of air surged outward in all directions like a landslide.
Rumble!
As Vegeta's energy soared, the entire planet began to shake violently!
"Good heavens! Wh-what kind of monstrous power is this?! Even the Earth is trembling!"
Supreme Kai Shin was drenched in sweat in the distance.
He'd expected these Saiyans to be strong, but this was absurd!
Just powering up had triggered earthquakes across the globe!
"What terrifying energy! What kind of unholy training did Uncle Vegeta do in Otherworld? How did he get this strong?!"
Son Gohan, locked in a fierce battle with Dabura, was also stunned by the horrifying surge of energy.
"This... is impossible!"
"How could a mere human unleash power of this magnitude?"
Dabura, the King of the Demon Realm, felt as if everything he knew had been turned upside down.
Just dealing with Son Gohan in front of him was already proving difficult.
And now there was an even more monstrous fighter lurking in the distance.
Since when could this lousy planet mass-produce Super Saiyans of this caliber?
"Incredible! Vegeta has such terrifying energy!"
"Hehehe... But that's exactly what I want! Majin Buu would love to get his hands on all that energy!"
"Keep powering up! Unleash every last bit of your strength! The more you do, the faster Buu's seal will break!"
Babidi, hiding in the shadows, was just as astonished—but his excitement was even greater.
The better these Saiyans fought, the more energy Majin Buu would absorb.
Once Buu was fully revived, the entire universe would be kneeling at his feet, begging for mercy!
Rumble!
The trembling of the Earth continued to intensify.
Vegeta's appearance began to change dramatically.
His golden hair grew longer and longer, until it reached his waist.
His eyebrows vanished completely, and his brow ridges became sharply pronounced.
Crackle!
Thick blue lightning coursed all around him, far more violently than when he was a Super Saiyan 2.
His golden aura was like a blade made solid, slicing through the surrounding air with a hiss.
"Is this... a new level beyond Super Saiyan 2?"
Son Gohan glanced over between blows, his face full of shock.
Krillin and Piccolo were even too stunned to speak.
No matter how hard they tried to make sense of it, they couldn't understand how Vegeta could have made such an outrageous leap in only seven years.
Once Vegeta had completed his transformation, the Earth's shaking gradually subsided.
But the Alloy Arena beneath his feet was already covered in huge, spiderweb-like cracks.
"Hmph!"
"Well, Qin Feng? Now that you've seen my power, are your legs shaking with fear?"
"You pathetic insect could never imagine the terror of Super Saiyan 3!"
After transforming into a Super Saiyan 3, Vegeta was brimming with confidence and started taunting Qin Feng with a smug grin.
When Qin Feng had transformed into a Super Saiyan 3 and killed Broly, Vegeta had already passed out. He'd then been caught in the blast from an energy sphere, so he'd never seen Qin Feng's Super Saiyan 3 form.
Only Son Goku had caught a glimpse of it before losing consciousness.
So Vegeta naturally assumed he was the first Saiyan in the universe to reach Super Saiyan 3. His pride had gone through the roof.
"I can't help laughing."
"You look so pleased with yourself right now, it's downright idiotic."
"You transform into a Super Saiyan 3 and think you're invincible? Do you really believe a little skill like that makes you worthy of challenging me?"
Qin Feng looked at Vegeta with disdain.
Even without transforming into a Super Saiyan 3, Qin Feng could kick this guy around like a ball.
"Oh? All talk, are you?"
"Clearly, you know nothing about the power of Super Saiyan 3!"
"If you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Vegeta's lips curled into a cold smile.
Whoosh!
The next moment, he vanished.
He moved at incredible speed, appearing behind Qin Feng in an instant.
Then he swung a powerful high kick straight at Qin Feng's head.
Time-Skip.
Qin Feng thought to himself.
Whoosh!
Vegeta's heavy kick passed straight through Qin Feng's neck.
It was like kicking empty air—there was no resistance at all!
"A afterimage?!"
"How is this possible?!"
The cruel grin vanished from Vegeta's face.
After transforming into a Super Saiyan 3, his speed had surpassed all his previous limits.
Someone with only Super Saiyan 2 strength couldn't possibly dodge! He shouldn't even be able to see Vegeta's movements!
What kind of sorcery had this guy used?
"What are you staring at?"
Thud!
Just as Vegeta's mind went blank, a piercing pain suddenly erupted in his chest.
The tremendous impact sent him flying.
Crash! Crash! Crash!
Vegeta shot through the air like a cannonball, crashing through three solid stone mountains in a row.
Qin Feng, meanwhile, stood calmly in the same spot, as if he hadn't moved at all.
Seven years had passed, and Qin Feng had not only mastered Super Saiyan 4—his base strength had also soared to a terrifying level.
With his mastery of Time-Skip, dealing with Vegeta, a newly transformed Super Saiyan 3, was easier than crushing an ant.
"S-so monstrous! What happened just now?!"
"I didn't see Qin Feng move at all!"
"No!"
"It looked like he disappeared completely for a moment. Even his energy vanished!"
Son Goku watched from below in utter shock, his jaw nearly hitting the ground.
Vegeta was a bona fide Super Saiyan 3! And he'd been taken out in a single move?!
Goku knew just how powerful Super Saiyan 3 was.
Had Qin Feng used Instant Transmission?
Impossible!
Instant Transmission was only spatial travel. It couldn't make someone's energy disappear into thin air!
Krillin and Piccolo had long since grown numb to it all.
"No... This can't be happening! I refuse to believe it!"
"I'm already a Super Saiyan 3! Why can't I even see him move?!"
In the rubble, Vegeta lay sprawled among the shattered stones, his eyes unfocused and his spirit utterly broken.
He was a Super Saiyan 3, while his opponent had only revealed the energy of a Super Saiyan 2.
So why was he still the one getting completely crushed?!
