Vegeta was somewhat surprised that Son Goku had voluntarily given up the fight for the top spot, but he immediately tilted his head back proudly.
It was as if he were saying: This time, I won!
Seeing the expectant and combative glint in their eyes, Tarble felt a bit helpless.
To be honest, he didn't want to.
However, he knew even better that if he refused, these two would probably cling to him like a stubborn stain.
"Battle maniacs" wasn't just a nickname.
"Alright, I'll spar with you, but not now."
Upon hearing his agreement, Son Goku and Vegeta's faces lit up with joy.
In unison, they both exclaimed, "Good."
At this moment, Son Gohan and the others also arrived.
Sensing their presence, Tarble and the other three turned their heads towards the sky in unison.
"Ah, it's Krillin and the others!" Son Goku exclaimed happily, "Hey—"
"Krillin—"
As he shouted, he also waved his hand.
Among the arrivals, Krillin held an irreplaceable position in his heart.
As the exclamation died down, Krillin and the others also arrived.
Before they had even landed, they too shouted joyfully.
"Goku!!!" x4
"Dad!" x3
"Old Sun!"
A crowd of people swarmed over.
"Haha~"
"Everyone, it's been a long time~" Son Goku said with a hearty laugh.
Krillin grumbled, "You guy, once you go off to train, it's always for this long!"
"Sorry, sorry, I got so absorbed in training that I lost track of time," Son Goku chuckled sheepishly.
This was his usual trick.
Simply put, he was too lazy to find an excuse.
He had been training on North Kai Planet for three to four months.
He had to admit, doing so was also a way to help his family save money.
He could cultivate wholeheartedly, so it was killing two birds with one stone.
Hearing his words, Krillin immediately shot him a look of disdain, too lazy to expose his lie.
Without a doubt, he must have also been attracted by that incredibly powerful aura.
Based on their previous guesses, he secretly sized up Tarble.
It wasn't just him; Piccolo and the others were also observing Tarble in secret.
Unfortunately, Tarble had already reined in his aura, so they couldn't discern anything.
"Dad, you won't be leaving again for a while after returning this time, right?" Son Gohan asked with a smile, "Mom is home alone."
Upon hearing this, Son Goku nodded, "Mhm, I won't be leaving again for a while."
"Speaking of which, Gohan, why did you guys come here?"
"Don't tell me you're here to see Tarble too?"
At these words, Krillin and the others instantly confirmed that the incredibly powerful and unfamiliar aura they had sensed earlier belonged to Tarble.
However, what surprised them was that Tarble didn't seem as powerful now as he had felt before.
While they were still wondering, Trunks and Son Goten, the two youngsters, took action.
They trotted over to Tarble, and each asked a question.
"Uncle Tarble, was that incredibly powerful aura you released just now?"
"Yeah, Uncle Tarble, that aura was a little like yours, but also very different."
Looking at the two youngsters full of curiosity, and then glancing at the others who were also eager to know, Tarble smiled slightly and nodded.
"That's right, that aura was emitted by me."
"That kind of aura is unique to the Super Saiyan 4 transformation."
Before his voice had completely faded, Trunks and Son Goten's eyes lit up, and they exclaimed in unison.
"So cool!" x2
"Super Saiyan 4~"
"It sounds so amazing~" (✧◡✧)
A child's praise is the purest kind, completely devoid of any insincere flattery.
Because of this, Tarble felt exceptionally happy upon hearing it, and his lips curled into a handsome arc he couldn't control.
Before he could reply, he saw Trunks ask with eyes full of anticipation: "Uncle Tarble, can you transform and show us?"
Tarble naturally agreed to such a simple request.
The next second.
With a "boom," a dazzling light flashed around his body.
As the light faded, he had already transformed into the dashing appearance of a Super Saiyan 4.
A hint of a charming, wicked smile hung on his lips, and his gaze, both gentle yet imposing, fixed upon Trunks and Son Goten.
"Trunks, Goten, this transformation of mine... is Super Saiyan 4!"
"How does it... feel?"
He had originally wanted to ask if he looked cool, but the words changed at the last second.
This time, the transformation felt even more effortless.
In the Super Saiyan 4 state, his energy was naturally more restrained than in the previous three forms.
Unless he actively released it, it was basically no different from his base state.
"So cool!"
"You're wrong, Goten, it's clearly both cool and powerful!"
The two little ones exclaimed in wonder, their eyes shining as they observed him.
They even reached out to touch the vibrant red fur.
Tarble wasn't ticklish, so he didn't scold them, letting them touch it as they pleased.
Fortunately, they weren't too mischievous and didn't try to pull any of the fur out.
Otherwise, they definitely would have been in for a spanking.
At the same time, he noticed that the expressions of Son Gohan and the others had changed as well.
Beyond deep astonishment, there was also admiration and envy.
Just then, Vegeta's voice, tinged with slight dissatisfaction and questioning, rang in his ears.
"Tarble, that transformation you did earlier, did you release your energy on purpose?"
Meeting his gaze, which seemed to see through everything, Tarble just smiled and said nothing.
That smile had a slightly mischievous air to it.
That's right!
He had done it on purpose.
At this moment, silence spoke louder than words.
Seeing this, Vegeta looked indignant. He pointed at the two furrows in the ground plowed by his feet and shouted, "I knew it!"
"You brat..."
Before he could finish his scolding, Tarble cut him off.
"Big Brother, if I had transformed like this, would you have been able to truly feel the power of Super Saiyan 4?"
Hearing this, Vegeta was instantly choked for words, unable to refute.
Because, from the current Tarble, he couldn't sense how powerful his energy was.
"Hmph!"
In the end, he could only snort coldly and turn his head away.
At the same time, his heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
What was going on?
Could it be that Super Saiyan 4 also possessed the ability to suppress energy?
If Tarble knew what he was thinking right now, he would definitely marvel at how clever he was!
At this moment, Son Gohan also gathered around Tarble and sighed with genuine admiration.
"Uncle Tarble, you're amazing!"
"You must have surpassed my father by now!"
As he spoke, he looked toward Son Goku for confirmation.
"Dad, can you transform into Super Saiyan 4 now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their eyes toward Son Goku, filled with a hint of anticipation.
Before Tarble arrived, Son Goku was their universally acknowledged strongest Saiyan.
In terms of both strength and talent, he was superior to Vegeta.
If one were to ask who among Son Goku and Vegeta was most likely to break through to Super Saiyan 4.
They would undoubtedly believe without hesitation that the one to break through would be Son Goku.
This was their confidence in Son Goku!
