Hearing Tarble's words, Vegeta clenched his back teeth, a hint of displeasure appearing on his face.
Damn it!
He wasn't the only one who could turn into a Super Saiyan. Kakarot wasn't the only one!
Did he really need Kakarot to deal with these two weaklings?
What a joke!
But after thinking it over, he understood why Tarble only knew that Son Goku could become a Super Saiyan.
It was probably because he'd only heard about the battle on Planet Namek back then.
Tarble lived on a planet at the edge of the universe, so it was only natural that news reached him late.
But even though he'd figured out the reason, he was still very annoyed.
"I'm not the only one who can become a Super Saiyan!"
"Don't worry. I'll help you take care of the pursuers behind you!"
"What?" Tarble pretended to be extremely surprised. "Big Brother, can you become a Super Saiyan too?"
"That's wonderful!"
"Big Brother, you really are the strongest warrior in Saiyan history, born with the highest battle power!"
Hearing the praise, Vegeta's expression improved considerably. "Hmph. As long as you train hard, you should have a chance of becoming Super Saiyans too!"
"Really?" Tarble asked, pretending to be overjoyed.
Licks, standing nearby, was also thrilled.
He never would have imagined that he, too, might have a chance to become the legendary Super Saiyan.
Facing their questioning gazes, Vegeta slowly nodded. "I have no reason to lie to you about something like that."
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head. "There are two pursuers behind you, and they'll be here soon!"
Hearing this, Tarble looked up too. He couldn't see any spaceships with his naked eye, but he could indeed sense two enormous auras rapidly approaching.
He knew they were there, but his face showed complete bewilderment.
"Big Brother, I don't see any spaceships!"
"How do you know they're almost here?"
At that, Vegeta furrowed his brows. His eyes flickered before he explained, "It's their auras... In other words, it's a technique for using battle power that lets you sense other people's auras and locations."
"Since you don't know how to suppress or sense auras yet, we knew someone was coming before you even broke through the atmosphere!"
"Wow, there's such an amazing and useful technique?" Tarble exclaimed sincerely.
"That's incredible!"
Licks's eyes shone with interest, too. He was fascinated by this technique for using auras.
When Son Gohan and the others heard Tarble, faint smiles instinctively appeared at the corners of their mouths.
A sense of superiority welled up inside them.
This technique for freely controlling the body's energy really wasn't something just anyone knew.
Vegeta explained, "Anyone can learn this technique easily if they put their mind to it. It's not as amazing or complicated as you think."
"You already know how to use Energy Waves. Remember how it feels to channel that energy, then learn to control it, and you'll master it."
"Now, try lowering your battle power."
He said this because he wanted to see just what Tarble was capable of.
The aura he sensed from Tarble was surprisingly as gentle as Son Goku's.
Gentle to the point that he barely seemed like a Saiyan!
That was why Vegeta suspected Tarble's talent might be beyond imagination.
Naturally, this was because of that bastard Kakarot.
He was a Low-Class Warrior, and he was a Saiyan, yet his personality, behavior, and temperament were completely unlike those of a Saiyan.
And yet that bastard managed to outdo him every single time!
It was because Kakarot had set that precedent that Vegeta had come to this conclusion.
At his words, Tarble pretended to be delighted. "Really?"
"Then I'll give it a try!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he casually formed a white energy sphere in his hand, then snuffed it out.
Next, he closed his eyes, slowly formed another energy sphere, and snuffed that one out too.
He repeated this two or three times before stopping.
Then he began slowly drawing his aura back into his body, further and further.
The whole process took less than ten seconds, and his aura had already dropped considerably.
If someone had checked him with a Scouter, they would have found that his battle power was now 1,000.
Even though he'd successfully suppressed his aura, he kept pretending to work on lowering it further.
Three more seconds passed, and his aura had reached its lowest level.
The changes in the strength of the aura radiating from him drew the attention of all the Z Fighters present, their faces filled with astonishment.
At that moment, they all had one thought and one thought alone—
Holy crap!
That talent was downright inhuman!
Little did they know that it had actually taken Tarble a full eighteen minutes to learn.
As for Licks, Tarble hadn't taught him. He'd left that for this very moment.
After successfully suppressing his aura, Tarble promptly opened his eyes and shouted in delight, "Big Brother, I did it, right?"
At that, Vegeta came back to his senses. Astonishment still lingered in his eyes, along with a hint of solemnity.
After looking Tarble over carefully, he stared wide-eyed and confirmed, "That's right. You did it!"
His voice was a little hoarse, as if he could hardly believe it.
"Great! That wasn't so hard!" Tarble burst into laughter, then turned to Licks beside him. "Licks, did you do it?"
Tarble's exclamation had not only snapped Vegeta and the others out of their shock, but also interrupted Licks's attempt.
Hearing that Tarble had already mastered the trick of suppressing his aura filled Licks with both astonishment and delight.
But when Tarble asked him, a trace of embarrassment immediately appeared on his face.
Though he felt ashamed, he still shook his head and answered honestly. "Sorry, Prince Tarble. I haven't mastered it yet."
"Then use your Scouter to check my battle power. How much is it now?" Tarble instructed, helping him out of an awkward situation at the same time.
"Yes, Your Highness."
After answering, Licks immediately fiddled with his Scouter.
Beep, beep, beep!
When the mechanical beeping stopped, Licks immediately reported with delight, "Prince Tarble, your battle power is only five now!"
"That's amazing!"
"You really can control your battle power at will!"
"Your Highness, you're incredible. You learned this technique in no time at all!"
His words were full of admiration.
Hearing all the praise, Tarble beamed. "Hahaha, Big Brother Vegeta said this technique was simple.
Licks, if you practice hard, you can do it too."
Just then, Vegeta's eyes flickered, and he asked an unexpected question. "Tarble, what is your battle power when you aren't suppressing it?"
"Me?" Tarble answered without hesitation. "Two years ago, before we set off for Earth, we measured it once. My battle power had reached 30,000."
"What about you, Big Brother?"
"Oh, right. Licks's battle power is a little lower than mine, only 15,000."
30,000 battle power?
Licks had 15,000 too?
That was incredibly high!
At that, Vegeta's eyes narrowed. "Have you done any special training?"
"Your battle power is far higher than the level of a normal high-class warrior used to be."
Tarble answered honestly, "Yes. While we were searching for Earth's location, Licks and I trained by fighting each other for nearly a year."
"Before that, we hardly did any combat training, so you can basically ignore it."
"Oh, right. That planet's gravity was about the same as Earth's."
"After training for about a year, my battle power only increased by 29,000.
Big Brother, am I not suited to training?"
