At that moment, Cooler and King Cold fixed their attention on the three people who had suddenly appeared.

"Hmph. Are you the Saiyan who killed Frieza?"

Cooler looked at Wukong, who was facing him down, and asked viciously.

"It wasn't me. The one who killed Frieza is Li Feng over there. Vegeta and I are Saiyans too."

"Why did you hurt Gohan and the others?"

Wukong was angry.

"Hohoho. Naturally, it was to draw out you damned filthy monkeys. Since you're not the one who killed Frieza, get out of my way. After I kill Li Feng, I'll deal with you!"

Cooler said disdainfully.

"You really are a bunch of horrible people! I won't let you get away with this!"

Wukong was furious. He was not angry because Cooler looked down on him, but because his son and his companions had suffered this undeserved disaster.

"Hah!"

Wukong made the first move. His figure flashed, appearing in front of Cooler.

The battle between Wukong and Cooler began!

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Hmph, hmph. Damned Saiyans, you've finally shown yourselves."

King Cold sneered.

"It seems it's time for this vile race to disappear."

"You're Frieza's old man? You don't look like much. Sure, Frieza didn't die by my hand, but taking out his father works too."

Vegeta fired back with trash talk as well.

"Such arrogance!"

King Cold's face darkened, and his red cape billowed with the aura he released.

"Hmph. Then let me show you the results of this prince's training!"

With that, Vegeta also launched his attack, his figure flying toward King Cold.

After more than a year of training, Vegeta's combat power had risen from one hundred thousand at the start to four million. The swelling of his strength had made his ego swell as well. Aside from Li Feng and Kakarot, he looked down on everyone!

"Hah!"

"Boom!"

The two exchanged punches, and a roar immediately erupted.

"Bang!"

Wukong and Cooler also began an intense battle in the air.

The terrifying four split into two battlefields. Four dreadful auras shot into the sky, and the fierce fighting made the earth tremble, sending rocks flying and shattering the forest, as if ancient beasts were ravaging the land.

All four of them moved with extreme speed. Only afterimages could be seen weaving together. Wukong and Cooler, Vegeta and King Cold, were all probing each other at first, but the intensity of the battle was still astonishing. If Krillin and the other ordinary Z Fighters carelessly approached, they would be torn to pieces by the aftershocks of the fight!

"T-this is Wukong and the others' battle! They're so strong!"

Krillin, who had recovered his strength, was shocked by these two terrifying battles.

"It looks like Wukong and the others' training was very successful. I have to train hard too!"

Tien Shinhan was also stunned by the intensity of their battle.

"So awesome! Go, Dad!"

Gohan's eyes could keep up with Wukong's movements, and he cheered him on.

"Even that Vegeta has become this strong now? Damn it!"

Piccolo was also shocked by how powerful their fighting was, especially Vegeta, who had actually surpassed him again.

"Uncle Li Feng, can Dad and the others turn into Super Saiyans now?"

Gohan asked Li Feng.

Everyone present focused their gazes on Li Feng.

This young man before them had trained alongside them, and Li Feng knew the results of their training better than anyone.

"To be honest, I'm not sure either. But it's obvious they're just one step away. This battle is their chance to transform."

Li Feng said.

"Can they really defeat those two terrifying demons?"

Yamcha asked nervously.

Although the fighting in the air was extremely intense, it was impossible to tell which side had the advantage.

"They definitely can."

Li Feng said confidently.

From that year of crossing hands with them, Li Feng knew very well just how high the two's combat potential and battle instincts were. If his own combat power had not been steadily above theirs, then in terms of combat experience alone, he was far from being Wukong and Vegeta's match.

With Saiyan blood flowing through him, Li Feng knew very well what an unyielding race Saiyans were. The battle-hungry factors in their bodies and the boiling of their hot blood allowed them to surpass themselves again and again in adversity, ultimately turning the tables for a counterkill.

So even if the gap between them and King Cold was rather obvious right now, they could still be like him when he fought Frieza—breaking through in battle and transforming into Super Saiyans!

If something unexpected happened, he could still serve as insurance. This time, the main point was to give them training. Otherwise, they would fall too far behind compared with the original work's same period.

Li Feng had actually always been maintaining the development of everyone's combat strength in the Dragon Ball universe he was in. He did not want his arrival to steal all the opportunities for the protagonist group to grow stronger, then have himself take action every time. That would not be good either.

Li Feng: Of course, my wife is the exception.

And besides, the system had not issued a mission this time.

"Ha!"

"Yah!"

Boom! Boom!

In the end, following two loud shouts, two figures flew backward from different directions and were smashed straight into the mountain peaks.

The ones who had been smashed into the rubble were actually Vegeta and Cooler!

Vegeta and King Cold's side was actually still understandable. After all, King Cold's combat power in this form reached one hundred million. Although he was not using his full strength right now, he had still used ten percent of his power, which was more than enough to suppress Vegeta.

But on Cooler's side, Cooler, who was clearly superior on the surface, had actually been sent flying, and Wukong had not even used Kaioken yet.

"Damn it, what's going on over on Kakarot's side?"

Vegeta blasted away the rubble, his gaze turning toward Cooler's battlefield as he muttered.

From what he sensed, King Cold was clearly much weaker than Cooler, and the difference between his combat power and Kakarot's was not that great either. So why had he lost in the first exchange?

Vegeta was unwilling to accept it and challenged King Cold again.

"You stinking monkey, how is that possible!?"

Cooler said in disbelief, furious.

"I've already seen completely through your movements."

Wukong said calmly.

After more than a year of training, Wukong, under Li Feng's "education," had already grown familiar with all kinds of combat scenarios—especially methods for dealing with opponents whose combat power far exceeded his own. After probing a few times earlier, he discovered that Cooler's raw strength was clearly stronger than his, so he did not take attacks head-on. He dodged the heaviest attacks with the smallest movements, then found the right opportunity to break through the weakest point in the opponent's defense.

That was why Wukong gained the upper hand in their initial exchange.

As for Vegeta, that stubborn blockhead, he had mistakenly thought he was third in the world and did not put King Cold in his eyes. He tanked every blow head-on, only to discover in the end that he could not overpower him. Once King Cold raised his energy, Vegeta was swiftly sent flying.

This was the difference between Wukong and Vegeta's fighting styles.

Seeing this situation, Li Feng smiled as well.

He wondered whether they could do as he expected and find the key to transforming into Super Saiyans.

"You damn wild monkey, don't get cocky!"

Cooler shattered the mountain rocks and snarled viciously.
