Strength Reaches the Fourth Dimension; Vegeta Strikes Suddenly

Prince Tarble nodded to Vegeta and the others, then looked at his own transformation and exclaimed, "This is... Super Saiyan..."

He felt the power surging from within him and was incredibly exhilarated.

It felt as if he had taken a stimulant.

At that moment, he desperately wanted to find someone to fight and vent his energy.

Truly worthy of the Saiyan warrior race!

The desire to fight was ingrained in his very bones.

Even he, a young man of the new century, was affected.

With a sigh, he returned to his normal state.

Once he reverted, the excited, restless feeling subsided.

The next second, two lines of text reappeared in his eyes.

[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Fourth Dimension in combat power, binding slots +1.]

[Please bind a suitable target as soon as possible to unlock higher multiplier training effects.]

After reading these two lines, his face lit up with joy.

Then, with delight, he waved his arm at Vegeta and the others, exclaiming happily, "I succeeded!"

Since coming to this Dragon Ball Super world, he had always felt a sense of urgency, anxious about his own weakness.

Now, finally becoming a Super Saiyan, he had taken a crucial step.

His taut nerves relaxed somewhat.

However, he knew very well that just being a Super Saiyan was not enough!

He had to become even stronger!

At this moment, Vegeta and the others gathered around.

"You really succeeded, Tarble," Vegeta praised sincerely.

His tone carried a hint of envy and relief.

If it were any other Saiyan, he might have felt jealous.

But Tarble was his own brother!

Over the years, influenced by Son Goku, Bulma, and others, his mindset had changed significantly.

He now valued his family more than any of the Z Fighters.

"Congratulations, Prince Tarble, on successfully becoming a Super Saiyan!"

Licks also congratulated him again with shining eyes, as if he were the one who had successfully transformed.

Trunks also said happily, "Uncle Tarble, congratulations on becoming a Super Saiyan!"

"Mr. Tarble, congratulations on entering a new realm," Dende congratulated him with some admiration.

Mr. Popo, however, remained expressionless, like a wooden post.

Tarble smiled and nodded in response, "Thank you, everyone."

Just then, Vegeta suddenly attacked, launching an assault on Licks.

He flashed forward, appearing instantly before Licks.

Before anyone could react, he casually fired an energy wave, striking Licks in the chest.

"Ah—"

Licks cried out in pain.

Bang!

He fell to the ground, then coughed up two mouthfuls of bright red blood.

For a moment, he felt an intense pain spread through his entire body, and his head began to spin.

But he still had some consciousness.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, filled with confusion and unwillingness.

"Ve... Vegeta..."

"Wh... why..."

He had diligently fulfilled his duty, always protecting Tarble.

But why did Vegeta want to kill him?

Clearly, he also had the chance to become a Super Saiyan!

Why did he have to kill him?!

For a moment, he was filled with resentment towards Vegeta.

Except for Tarble, Trunks, and the other two were all startled by this sudden turn of events.

Instantly, accusations flew.

"Dad! Why did you kill Uncle Licks? Why!"

"Mr. Vegeta, why would you do this?"

Mr. Popo remained silent, but his brow suddenly furrowed, and he watched Vegeta with wary eyes.

"Hmph!" Vegeta snorted coldly, too lazy to explain. He directly ordered Dende, "Dende, please heal him!"

"If it were any later, he would have truly died!"

Hearing this, Dende instantly understood Vegeta's intention, his pupils contracting sharply.

He recalled how Vegeta had used a similar trick on his home planet Namek to quickly increase his strength.

At this moment, only one thought occupied his mind—

This guy, he just asked me for a small favor, it couldn't be...

Once he understood, he immediately said hatefully, "You're simply a madman!"

There was no time for him to think further.

After cursing, he immediately crouched down and began treating Licks.

In less than five seconds, Licks was successfully revived.

The moment his consciousness returned, he sprang up from the ground with a "whoosh."

His gaze towards Vegeta held not only apprehension but also deep resentment.

"Why?!!!" Licks asked through gritted teeth.

At this point, he had long forgotten any respectful titles like "Your Highness."

For decades, he had followed King Vegeta's instructions, protecting Tarble's safety.

Even his good brother, Tomato, had sacrificed his life to save Tarble.

Despite this, he had not abandoned Tarble and fled.

It could be said that without him and Tomato, Tarble would have died countless times already.

But what was his reward in the end?

Vegeta actually wanted to kill him!

This time, his heart was completely chilled.

Facing his questioning, Vegeta said expressionlessly, "Hmph, don't you want to become a Super Saiyan quickly?"

"Feel your current strength carefully; it should meet the conditions for transformation!"

Seeing his continued vigilance, he had no choice but to instruct Trunks, "Trunks, use your scouter to check his power level."

"Then, try to transform into a Super Saiyan."

"Hmph! We Saiyans don't need warriors who are too weak!"

"When this is done, hurry home for dinner. I won't wait around here hungry."

After speaking, he glanced at Licks and then directly unleashed his aura and flew into the sky.

Seeing this, Tarble was both speechless and helpless.

He could have explained beforehand, but he insisted on acting in a way that was easily misunderstood.

So domineering and autocratic!

However, he also knew that Vegeta now was much better than before.

If it were in the past, he might have just killed him outright.

Alas!

He still had to be the one to appease people.

"Licks, I believe Big Brother Vegeta must have his reasons for doing this!

For now, just do as he says and see if your strength has changed?"

After comforting Licks, he turned to the stunned Trunks and urged him.

"Trunks, what are you still standing there for?"

"Hurry up and check your Uncle Licks' power level!"

Hearing this, Trunks suddenly snapped back to reality, "Oh, oh, oh, I'll check now!"

At this moment, Dende also explained Vegeta's intentions and helped comfort Licks.

He didn't want to see internal strife among Saiyans again; the battle between Goku and Vegeta during the Majin Buu era still lingered in his memory.

Every time he thought of it, he felt lingering fear.

"Mr. Licks, I understand Mr. Vegeta's intention; he wants to help you increase your strength quickly."

"Back then, when facing the powerful Frieza on Namek, he also had to resort to this shortcut to rapidly increase his strength."

"Speaking of which, you Saiyans are truly special; after a near-death experience and revival, you can actually increase your strength."

"And the increase is astonishingly large."

In fact, before Dende spoke, Licks had already begun to sense whether his own strength had changed.
