"I know you're still holding back, Vegeta."
Qin Feng hovered in mid-air, looking down at Vegeta in the crater. "Stop hiding your cards and show me your real strength. Otherwise, I'm done playing this game with you."
Although both were at the Super Saiyan 2 level, Qin Feng's foundation was far too deep; he was completely crushing Vegeta in a one-sided beatdown.
"Damn it..."
Why is it like this? We're both Super Saiyan 2, so how is he so much stronger than me!
Vegeta slammed his fist into the bottom of the crater, his eyes filled with resentment and humiliation.
He had originally wanted to save his trump card for Kakarot.
It seemed he had no choice but to use it now.
Vegeta stood up shakily, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a wild, arrogant smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"I admit, you do have some skill."
"Even though we're both Super Saiyan 2, your power is truly infuriating."
"But from here on out, you're going to lose for sure!"
"Because my level has long since surpassed Super Saiyan 2!"
Vegeta clenched his fists tightly, arrogantly pointing his thumbs at his own chest.
"Open your eyes and look closely! The strongest Saiyan will always be me, Prince Vegeta!"
His posture was so wild and cool that he looked even more arrogant than the heavens themselves.
"Is Vegeta going to transform into Super Saiyan 3?"
Down below, Son Goku saw through Vegeta's confidence at a glance.
After all, he couldn't beat Qin Feng at all in his Super Saiyan 2 state.
Yet, he had a bad premonition: even if Vegeta transformed into Super Saiyan 3, he would likely still be rubbed into the dirt by Qin Feng.
"Idiot."
"The harder you brag now, the more your face will sting when it gets slapped later." Qin Feng yawned, bored.
Watching this guy show off, it was clear he had mastered Super Saiyan 3 while in the Otherworld.
"Haaaaaa!"
Just then, Vegeta took a stance and let out a deafening roar.
Violent golden light erupted wildly from his body.
Visible shockwaves spread in all directions like a mountain-toppling sea.
Rumble!
As Vegeta's aura climbed frantically, the entire Earth began to tremble violently!
"My god! What... what kind of monstrous power is this?! Even the Earth is shaking!"
In the distance, Shin the Supreme Kai was drenched in cold sweat.
Although he had expected these Saiyans to be strong, this was absurdly powerful, wasn't it?
Just powering up was enough to trigger a global earthquake!
"Such a terrifying aura! What kind of dark arts did Uncle Vegeta practice in the Otherworld? How could he be this strong!"
Son Gohan, who was locked in a fierce battle with Dabura, was also shaken by the terrifying energy fluctuations.
"This... is impossible!"
"How could mere mortals unleash power of this magnitude?"
As the King of the Demon Realm, Dabura's worldview was shattered.
He was already finding it quite difficult just to deal with the Son Gohan in front of him.
He hadn't expected an even more perverted monster to be lurking in the distance.
Since when could this pathetic Earth mass-produce Super Saiyans of this caliber?
"It's amazing! Vegeta actually possesses such terrifying energy!"
"Hehehe... but this is exactly what I wanted! Majin Buu is quite hungry for such massive energy!"
"Keep erupting! Release your power to your heart's content! The speed at which Buu's seal breaks will only increase!"
Though Babidi, hiding in the shadows, was equally shocked, he was mostly ecstatic.
The better these Saiyans could fight, the more energy Majin Buu would absorb.
Once Buu was fully revived, the entire universe would have to kneel at his feet and beg for mercy!
Rumble!
The tremors of the Earth continued to intensify.
Vegeta's appearance was undergoing a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering transformation.
His golden hair grew wildly, only stopping once it reached his waist.
His eyebrows vanished completely, and his brow ridge protruded prominently.
Crackle!
Thick, blue lightning surged densely around his body, far more violent than in his Super Saiyan 2 state.
His golden aura, sharp as materialized blades, sliced through the surrounding air with a rustling sound.
"Is this... a brand-new realm beyond Super Saiyan 2?"
Son Gohan stole a glance, his face filled with shock.
In the distance, Krillin and Piccolo were so terrified they couldn't even speak.
They racked their brains but couldn't fathom how, in a mere seven years, Vegeta could have achieved such an outrageous leap.
As Vegeta finished his transformation, the tremors of the Earth slowly subsided.
However, the Alloy Arena beneath his feet was already covered in massive, spiderweb-like cracks.
"Hmph!"
"How about it, Qin Feng? Now that you've witnessed my current power, are your legs trembling with fear?"
"The terror of Super Saiyan 3 is something an ant like you could never imagine!"
After transforming into Super Saiyan 3, Vegeta was brimming with confidence, his face full of arrogant provocation.
Back when Qin Feng had transformed into Super Saiyan 3 to slay Broly, Vegeta had long since passed out, and he was later caught in the shockwave of the energy sphere's explosion, so he had never actually seen Qin Feng's Super Saiyan 3 form.
Only Son Goku had caught a glimpse of it before losing consciousness.
Therefore, the current Vegeta naturally assumed he was the first Saiyan in the entire universe to step into the Super Saiyan 3 realm, and his ego had soared to the heavens.
"I really can't help but laugh."
"The smug look on your face right now is just plain idiotic."
"You think you're invincible just because you turned Super Saiyan 3? Do you really think such meager skills qualify you to challenge me?"
Qin Feng looked at Vegeta with utter disdain.
Even without using Super Saiyan 3, Qin Feng could kick this guy around like a ball.
"Oh? A stubborn fool to the end."
"It seems you know nothing of the power of Super Saiyan 3!"
"Since you're in such a rush to die, I'll grant your wish!"
A cold, cruel smile curled onto Vegeta's lips.
Whoosh!
The next second, his figure suddenly vanished.
His speed reached the absolute limit, and in an instant, he flashed behind Qin Feng.
Immediately following, a heavy, powerful high kick swung directly toward Qin Feng's head.
Time-Skip.
Qin Feng chanted silently in his heart.
Swish!
Vegeta's heavy leg passed straight through the space where Qin Feng's neck had been.
It was as if he had kicked a mass of air, meeting absolutely no resistance!
"An afterimage?!"
"How is this possible!"
The sneer on Vegeta's face froze instantly.
After transforming into Super Saiyan 3, his speed had broken through all his previous limits.
A guy with only Super Saiyan 2 strength should absolutely not have been able to dodge! He shouldn't even have had the qualifications to see his movements clearly!
What kind of sorcery was this brat using?
"What are you spacing out for?"
Bang!
The moment Vegeta's brain stalled, a piercing, agonizing pain erupted in his chest.
The immense impact sent him flying.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Like a cannonball fired from a barrel, Vegeta smashed through three solid rocky peaks in succession.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng's figure stood steadily in place, as if he had never moved at all.
Seven years had passed, and Qin Feng had not only mastered Super Saiyan 4, but his base combat power had also soared to a terrifying level.
Coupled with his deep development of the Time-Skip, taking down a Vegeta who had just reached Super Saiyan 3 was easier than crushing an ant.
"So... so monstrous! What exactly happened in that instant?!"
"I couldn't even see Qin Feng's movements at all!"
"No, that's not it!"
"He seemed to vanish completely just now, even his energy signature was cut off for a split second!"
Down on the sidelines, Son Goku was struck with horror, his jaw practically hitting the ground.
Vegeta was a genuine Super Saiyan 3! How could he be taken out in a single blow?!
Son Goku knew very well just how strong a Super Saiyan 3 was.
Could Qin Feng have used Instant Transmission?
Absolutely impossible!
Instant Transmission was merely spatial displacement; it could never erase one's energy signature into thin air!
Beside him, Krillin and Piccolo had long since been numbed by the spectacle.
"No... this is impossible! I don't believe it!"
"I am clearly a Super Saiyan 3! Why can't I even see his movements?!"
Amidst the ruins, Vegeta lay sprawled out in a pile of rubble, his eyes vacant as his mind completely collapsed.
He was the Super Saiyan 3, yet the opponent had only displayed the aura of a Super Saiyan 2.
Why was he still the one being unilaterally crushed?!
