Even if Son Goku hadn't asked, Tarble had intended to tell the two of them anyway.
He organized his thoughts before speaking slowly.
"I attempted to transform while my base combat power was between 100 billion and 700 billion, but the results were all failures."
"Later, I waited until my base combat power reached one trillion before trying again."
"In the end, I succeeded on the very first attempt."
"If my guess is correct, to successfully break through to Super Saiyan 4, your base combat power needs to be at least 800 billion or 900 billion or more for there to be a chance of success."
"I'm not entirely sure of the exact number, but you two can give it a try."
"Does it require 800 billion in base combat power?" Son Goku muttered to himself, his entire being brimming with fighting spirit. "Then I'll have to train hard and strive to reach 800 billion as soon as possible, and then I'll give it a try!"
"Hey, Prince Vegeta, can I borrow your Gravity Chamber?"
However.
Prince Vegeta didn't even acknowledge him; with a cold snort, he vanished in a flash.
When he reappeared, he was already outside the living quarters.
Then, he transformed into his Super Saiyan 2 form with a boom.
It looked like he intended to transform into Super Saiyan 3 first.
"What's his problem? That guy Vegeta is actually ignoring me!" Son Goku complained.
Seeing this, Tarble gave Licks a look.
The latter understood immediately and promptly pulled out a Capsule Corp Capsule containing a Gravity Chamber and handed it to Son Goku.
"Son Goku, there is a Gravity Chamber inside this capsule; you can use it."
"Really? Thank you so much, Licks!" Son Goku snatched the Capsule Corp Capsule.
At this moment, Tarble cautioned, "There are only four Gravity Chambers in total, just enough for one person each, so make sure you don't break them."
"Otherwise, whoever breaks theirs won't have a Gravity Chamber to use."
"If you want to spar with someone, don't do it inside the Gravity Chamber."
Hearing this, Son Goku replied solemnly, "I understand!"
"Well then, I'm off to train—"
Before his voice had fully faded, his figure had already vanished.
The next instant, his energy could be sensed right near Prince Vegeta.
"Licks, hurry up and set things up."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After giving the order, Tarble walked slowly toward the outside of the house.
Sure enough, Son Goku was watching from not far away from Prince Vegeta.
At this moment, the energy radiating from Prince Vegeta was still climbing steadily.
The golden aura surging around his body seemed as if it had solidified.
The surface of that custom-made combat suit from Bulma was flickering with golden light.
At this time, Prince Vegeta also began to let out low, deep shouts.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
Seeing Tarble arrive by his side, Son Goku whispered, "Tarble, that guy Vegeta's current strength has already surpassed mine back when I fought Majin Buu."
Hearing this, Tarble nodded slightly and held a finger to his lips, signaling him to be quiet.
Seeing this, Son Goku understood immediately and fell silent.
Not far away, Prince Vegeta's transformation continued.
His energy grew increasingly intense, and the golden light shimmering on the surface of his wife-made combat suit became even more blinding.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
Accompanied by high-pitched shouts, Prince Vegeta's golden hair began to grow and lengthen visibly to the naked eye.
In less than two breaths, the golden hair had grown all the way down to his waist.
In an instant, the shouting stopped abruptly.
Super Saiyan 3 Prince Vegeta had successfully broken through!
Seeing this scene, Tarble, Son Goku, and Licks flashed forward, closing the distance.
"Vegeta, you've finally turned into a Super Saiyan 3 too!"
"Big Brother, congratulations on successfully reaching Super Saiyan 3."
"Congratulations to Prince Vegeta for successfully transforming into Super Saiyan 3!"
At this moment, Vegeta's eyebrows had long since vanished, and the golden aura surging around his body was laced with thick, jagged bolts of lightning.
In his base form, he already possessed a cold-faced demeanor, naturally carrying a faint air of wickedness.
Since the Super Saiyan 3 transformation itself inherently looks somewhat sinister, Vegeta's appearance after transforming gave off an incredibly evil vibe.
The kind that was truly heinous!
If this were the Vegeta of the past, he would have been a complete arch-villain.
But now, although he looked full of malice, his actual energy signature was anything but.
Hearing the three of them speak, Vegeta swept his gaze over them, finally letting his eyes settle on Son Goku as a wicked, slightly arrogant smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Kakarot, fight me!"
At this moment, his confidence had soared to incredible heights.
Even though he knew that in terms of base strength, there was still a gap of nearly 200 billion compared to Son Goku, his confidence was overflowing now that he had transformed into a Super Saiyan 3.
Moreover, among the three people present, only Son Goku was suitable for him to spar with, allowing him to familiarize himself with and master this new transformation.
Facing the challenge from his good friend, Son Goku naturally didn't back down and agreed without a moment's hesitation.
"Alright!"
In the years since the Majin Buu incident, he had always hoped that Vegeta would reach Super Saiyan 3 soon so they could have a battle between equals.
It was just a pity that Vegeta had never been able to break through.
At this point, Tarble spoke up to remind them: "I don't object to you fighting, but do not use energy attacks during the battle!"
"Otherwise, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber will be destroyed by you before you even get any training done."
Upon hearing this, Vegeta nodded slightly, signaling his agreement.
"Fine, then no energy attacks!" Son Goku also readily agreed.
After responding, he erupted into his Super Saiyan 2 form.
Seeing this, Vegeta immediately gritted his teeth and cursed: "Kakarot, are you looking down on me?!"
"I'm not!" Son Goku explained, "You've only just turned into a Super Saiyan 3; you haven't fully mastered it yet and can't bring out its true power."
"Once you've fully mastered it, I will turn into a Super Saiyan 3!"
Hearing this, Vegeta let out a cold snort.
"Hmph!"
"Then I'll show you the power of a Super Saiyan 3!"
With that, he flew off toward a more distant area, intending to set the battlefield there.
In truth, he was well aware that having just transformed into a Super Saiyan 3, he certainly couldn't use it with ease.
However, knowing that was one thing, but seeing Son Goku only transform into a Super Saiyan 2 still made him angry.
The feeling of being looked down upon was something he couldn't stand.
Seeing this, Son Goku first tossed a Capsule Corp Capsule to Licks.
"Licks, you hold onto the Gravity Chamber for now."
Following that, he flew off to catch up.
Glancing at Licks, who had reached out to catch the capsule, he saw an eager expression on his face.
Tarble knew that he wanted to fight as well.
"Licks, give the Gravity Chamber to me."
Licks did not hesitate and immediately handed over the capsule.
Taking the capsule in one hand, Tarble continued: "If you want to fight, then go."
"Once they've adapted enough, you can join the battlefield and team up with my Big Brother to fight Son Goku."
"That way, you can put some pressure on Son Goku."
Hearing this, a flash of joy appeared in Licks' eyes: "Yes, Your Highness."
"Go."
Seeing this, Licks did not hesitate and flew off toward the battlefield that had just erupted.
