Vegeta's Shock

At the same time.

Frieza's subordinate Zarbon slaughtered another village.

He was holding a Dragon Ball and leading his men in a grand formation as they flew back to report in.

Then they ran into an uninvited guest.

Vegeta!

Vegeta stood in Zarbon's way with his arms folded across his chest, a cold smile on his face.

"Zarbon, hand over the Dragon Ball."

"And I'll spare your life!"

At the sight, a disdainful smile appeared on Zarbon's handsome face. His long green hair and green skin added a strange, bewitching beauty to him.

"I wondered who it was. So it's the Saiyan monkey, Vegeta."

"What? Are you so arrogant now that you've come to challenge me?"

"Hmph. Don't go looking for death. I'll give you one more chance," Vegeta snorted.

He was confident he could take Zarbon down.

Because according to the Scouter, Zarbon's battle power was lower than his, which was why he dared to block his path.

"And if I say no?" Zarbon said.

"Then don't blame me for taking it by force!"

Vegeta charged straight over and smashed a punch down.

Zarbon raised an arm to block it, only to feel a tremendous force that drove him several steps back.

"A few days apart, and I didn't expect you to have grown this strong."

"Hmph. This is what you get for underestimating me."

"Oh?" Zarbon raised an eyebrow. "It's still not certain who's underestimating who."

Through that brief exchange just now, he judged that his current self couldn't beat Vegeta.

So.

He stopped pretending!

"I forgot to tell you. I'm a transformation-type warrior."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zarbon's whole body began to swell.

"?"

Vegeta was puzzled, and a bad premonition began to grow in his heart.

The next moment.

Zarbon's body swelled by a full size.

His appearance also changed into that of a monster.

But from the skin color and green hair, it was still possible to tell that this ugly monster was Zarbon.

Vegeta sensed that Zarbon's battle power at this moment had definitely far surpassed what it had been before.

The pressure made him feel as if he could hardly breathe.

"This..."

Zarbon wasted no words. He flashed in front of Vegeta and sent him flying with one punch.

Vegeta was knocked backward through the air, with no power to fight back at all.

The next moment, Zarbon appeared at astonishing speed along the path of his retreat and drove a knee into him.

Vegeta's body bent like a bow as he was knocked up into the sky, and Zarbon appeared behind him again.

He clasped both hands together and brought down a heavy hammer blow, smashing him into the ground.

He crashed heavily into it, blasting out a crater.

The gap in battle power was too great!

Vegeta was hit by a full combo on the spot!

"Now you understand the gap between us, don't you?"

A smile appeared on Zarbon's ugly face. He stretched out a hand and gathered an energy ball, preparing to eliminate Vegeta.

Vegeta got to his feet and looked at the energy ball that was about to be fired, his pupils widening.

Whoosh—

The explosion he imagined never came.

The energy ball was swatted apart by someone who had suddenly appeared.

When he looked closely, Vegeta blurted out instinctively, "It's you, Jiang Ling!"

"It was me. Thank me—I saved your life."

"Hmph!"

Vegeta did not show much of a reaction, and Jiang Ling did not care.

He looked at Zarbon across from him.

After a moment's confusion, he recognized the man by his green hair as Zarbon.

No wonder Vegeta could not beat him.

In the original story, Vegeta had indeed been utterly crushed by Zarbon after he transformed.

Jiang Ling shifted his feet and moved fast.

In a flash, he appeared right in front of Zarbon.

He fired an energy blast straight into his face.

Boom!

It took only an instant.

Zarbon was reduced to ash.

He did not even get to say a word.

Jiang Ling moved again, appearing before the foot soldier holding the Dragon Ball.

He snatched the Dragon Ball away.

Intense energy burst directly from his body, centered on him, and the surrounding foot soldiers were instantly reduced to ash, following in Zarbon's footsteps.

This move was very simple.

It was just releasing the energy in his body.

A good skill for clearing out enemies in an area!

Vegeta stared, stunned.

What was going on?

It had only been a few days. Why had Jiang Ling become this strong?

That power just now had been far too great!

Back on Earth, they had clearly been about the same...

Vegeta stood frozen in place, unable to believe it for a long time.

He even began to doubt his titles as the Saiyan prince and a Saiyan genius.

Was he really a genius?

Then why was the person in front of him growing at such a freakish pace?

Jiang Ling turned and looked at the dumbstruck Vegeta.

"Stop standing there. Take out the Dragon Ball you got first."

"Impossible!" Vegeta came back to his senses and immediately refused. "I won't hand the Dragon Ball over to you!"

The corners of Jiang Ling's mouth lifted.

He had known Vegeta would say that.

"Then... you should know about Planet Vegeta being destroyed by Frieza, right?"

"Mm..." Vegeta said in a low voice. "I just found out."

"Then do you want revenge? I can help you get it. Frieza is even stronger than me. There's no way you can beat him."

Jiang Ling guided him patiently.

Hearing this, Vegeta's heart stirred. He was somewhat tempted.

But he still shook his head.

"This is a matter for us Saiyans..."

The words had barely left his mouth when he saw the tail swaying behind Jiang Ling.

Vegeta: "..."

He had almost forgotten that Jiang Ling was also a Saiyan.

"I can teach you a way to raise your strength quickly. It might even be possible for you to become the legendary Super Saiyan."

Jiang Ling tempted him again.

Then he added, "If you don't hand it over, then forget it. I have the Dragon Radar. Finding the Dragon Balls is only a matter of minutes."

"Super Saiyan..."

Vegeta wavered, especially after hearing the last part.

Before long.

Vegeta took out the Dragon Ball he had hidden and handed it to Jiang Ling...

Jiang Ling pointed at Ginyu and Guldo, whom he had thrown into the distance.

"Carry them for me. It's inconvenient for me while I'm holding the Dragon Ball."

"That's... Ginyu and Guldo of the Ginyu Force..." Vegeta froze.

But he quickly adjusted.

After all, Jiang Ling had already shocked him enough times.

The total annihilation of the Ginyu Force was not something he couldn't accept.

"Follow me. We're going to Frieza's spaceship."

After saying that, Jiang Ling held the Dragon Ball and flew straight off.

Vegeta could only pick up Ginyu and Guldo and follow behind.

Before long.

They arrived at their destination.

They even ran into Son Gohan and Krillin coming out while holding the Dragon Balls.

At this point.

All seven Dragon Balls had been gathered!

Jiang Ling nodded.

"You guys wait for me first. We'll summon Shenron in a moment."

"Okay!"

"No problem."

Krillin and Gohan answered.

Then Krillin pointed at Vegeta behind him.

"Um... he... why is he with you..."

Jiang Ling smiled. "Don't worry. He's harmless for now."

"Hmph." Vegeta curled his lip and didn't argue.

Then Jiang Ling searched around nearby and his eyes lit up.

He beckoned for Vegeta to follow.

Five round, single-person spaceships appeared before them.

"Put Guldo inside and let him leave Namek."

Jiang Ling pointed at one of the spaceships.

"?"

Vegeta was very puzzled. Why let Guldo go?

As if seeing through his thoughts, Jiang Ling did not explain and only said, "Just do as I say. I have my own plans."
