Vexatious Best Friends Bring Much Joy; The Function of a Tail

However.

Son Goku laughed heartily and said, "Haha, Gohan, I'm not that amazing!"

"I just told Vegeta the same thing; I've been searching for a way to surpass Super Saiyan 3 for a long time."

"It's just a pity that I've never been able to find the right method."

"Hey, Tarble, how did you manage to surpass Super Saiyan 3? Could you tell us?"

Tarble was just about to say "no problem," but Vegeta cut him off.

With lightning speed, he reached out and yanked Son Goku aside.

"Absolutely not!"

"Kakarot, Tarble already gave you enough face by agreeing to spar with you. Don't push your luck!"

"You never told me how to transform into a Super Saiyan 3, did you?"

"Hmph!"

"Tarble, don't you dare tell him!"

Caught off guard, Son Goku stumbled from the pull, and upon hearing what Vegeta said, he grew anxious.

"What is it, Vegeta?"

"You should have just said you wanted to know how to transform into a Super Saiyan 3!"

"How about this? Since you don't know the trick to it, I'll tell you right now. Is that alright?"

Hearing this, Vegeta looked at him as if he were an idiot: "I don't need it!"

"If I wanted to know, I'd rather ask Tarble than ask you!"

Hearing Vegeta's words, Son Goku complained like a child: "Vegeta, you're really stingy!"

However, his eyes darted around, and he quickly thought of a clever plan.

With a mischievous grin, he bypassed Vegeta, flashed over to Tarble's side, and asked, "Hey, Tarble, you'll tell me how to transform into a Super Saiyan 4, right?"

It could be said that in his pursuit of strength, as long as it didn't harm others or society, he would try any method possible.

In this regard, he and Vegeta were actually the same.

To a certain extent, they would both stop at nothing to become stronger.

Seeing this, Vegeta gritted his teeth: "Kakarot!"

However, Son Goku acted as if he hadn't heard a thing, his eyes fixed intently on Tarble.

With that eager look, he was the spitting image of an old rascal.

Seeing Son Goku ignoring him, Vegeta was absolutely furious.

He couldn't beat him in a fight, so he could only glare at him viciously.

That gaze seemed as if it wanted to tear Son Goku to shreds.

Watching Son Goku's comical appearance, Tarble just smiled slightly. He wasn't in a hurry to answer and instead reverted to his base form.

He scanned the area, his gaze falling on the other six Saiyans present, with Son Goku being the last.

"I will tell you the method, but not right now."

"Licks and I just came out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and we haven't had a proper meal yet."

"It won't be too late to tell you once I've had my fill."

"However, before that, I can tell you a little secret!"

Having said that, he paused intentionally, wanting to whet the appetites of Son Goku and the others.

When it came to training and getting stronger, Son Goku was naturally the most impatient of them all.

The moment the words left his lips, his eyes lit up, and he asked impatiently: "What secret?"

Everyone present was curious about the "secret" Tarble mentioned; their thirst for knowledge had been piqued.

Seeing them all craning their necks, Tarble said slowly: "The secret is... after transforming into a Super Saiyan 4, your training speed also increases several times over—about tenfold, I'd say."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present wore a look of shock.

However, no one dared to interrupt Tarble.

Seeing that no one spoke, Tarble continued:

"Even when breaking through from Super Saiyan 2 to Super Saiyan 3, your training speed increases, roughly by four times."

"Therefore, even though the Super Saiyan 3 transformation has its flaws, I still suggest you transform into a Super Saiyan 3 first, as that will increase your training speed to about four times the original."

"After training for a while, then you can try to transform into a Super Saiyan 4."

After listening carefully to these words, Vegeta suddenly understood many things.

For instance: why Son Goku's strength had always been ahead of his!

It turned out that the training speed differed entirely depending on the transformation.

No wonder that despite his diligent training over the years, when facing Son Goku, he didn't even need to fight to know he was no match, and that the gap between them felt immense.

Now, he finally understood why.

The moment the reason became clear, an inexplicable rage surged within him.

His eyes blazed as he glared fiercely at Son Goku and roared, "Kakarot!!!"

"Vegeta, why are you shouting so loud? I can hear you..."

"You idiot! Don't interrupt!

Did you already know that different transformations have different training speeds?"

"And you, all this time, only cared about yourself, never having any intention of sharing, huh?"

"I didn't..."

"Shut up!"

"I knew it! My talent is clearly superior to yours, and I train harder than you, so why are you always ahead?"

Son Goku blinked, looking exceptionally innocent, and spread his hands: "Vegeta, I really don't know anything!"

"If I knew, I would have definitely told you all."

Vegeta wasn't buying it: "Hmph, you talk a better game than you play!"

Son Goku, however, emphasized with utmost seriousness: "If I knew, I would definitely say it!"

"Vegeta, I know you understand me!"

Yet, Vegeta scoffed, retorting: "Don't try to flatter me, I don't understand you at all."

In truth, he already believed him for the most part.

He also guessed that Tarble's knowledge must be thanks to an improved Scouter.

Otherwise, Tarble wouldn't have known these things.

After all, only by digitizing strength could accurate conclusions be drawn.

His questioning of Son Goku was merely due to his unwillingness to accept it.

If he had known earlier, wouldn't he have had the chance to surpass Son Goku sooner?!

Although he knew Son Goku was likely not lying, asking him to apologize to Son Goku was simply a pipe dream.

Son Goku, after hearing his words, rubbed his nose and chuckled, but didn't argue further.

At this moment, Tarble dropped another piece of news that deeply shook both Vegeta and Son Goku.

"Furthermore, I've discovered the reason why Super Saiyan 3 can't gather energy."

Compared to Super Saiyan 4, the ability to fix Super Saiyan 3's flaw was the most pressing matter.

The inability to gather energy and rapid stamina depletion were problems Son Goku had always wanted to solve.

It was a pity that not only could he not think of any effective methods, but even the knowledgeable North Kai was clueless.

Therefore, upon hearing Tarble say this, he immediately asked in surprise, "Really?"

"Tarble, have you really found a solution?"

"I've also been thinking of ways to solve the flaws of the Super Saiyan 3 transformation, but it's never worked."

"Because I spent too much time thinking about it, I didn't train much, otherwise my strength would be even greater than it is now!"

"Heh heh~"

"Tarble, it's amazing that you could find a solution in such a short time!"
