Bulma's house.
By coincidence, Nappa was there today as well, training Raditz alongside Vegeta.
Gravity Chamber.
Raditz lay sprawled on the ground, unable to get back up no matter what.
"I can't... I really can't go on... Prince Vegeta, Lord Nappa, please let me rest for a while!" Raditz begged.
"What trash. You can't even handle twenty times gravity." Vegeta's face was full of disdain.
Nappa wore a teasing grin as he said, "Raditz, do you even count as a Saiyan, a member of the warrior race? Show me some spirit!"
"It's quite lively here." Li Wei teleported over with Ikaros and Cumber.
Hearing the familiar voice, Vegeta and Nappa perked up and hurriedly turned to bow. "Lord Li Wei!"
Li Wei nodded, then glanced at Raditz, who was pinned to the ground and unable to rise no matter what. He said calmly, "I came this time to introduce another Saiyan compatriot to you."
Cumber cooperatively stepped forward, his gaze sweeping back and forth over Vegeta and Nappa. As for Raditz, sprawled on the ground nearby, he ignored him completely.
"This is truly disgraceful. A proud Saiyan, yet your battle power is so weak!" Cumber mocked.
"What did you say?!" Vegeta clenched his fists and glared at Cumber.
Nappa did the same, glaring viciously at Cumber.
"Not bad eyes. Too bad you're far too weak to stir even the slightest interest in me." Cumber looked utterly contemptuous.
Vegeta clenched his fists, looked toward Li Wei, and bowed as he requested, "Lord Li Wei, please allow me to teach this arrogant fool a lesson!"
"Cumber, what do you think?" Li Wei asked.
Cumber grinned. "Although I don't really want to fight trash like this, if I back down from a challenge, then I'm no Saiyan!"
"Fine, I, Cumber, accept your challenge. State your name!" Cumber asked.
"Hmph! You don't even know who I am, yet you dare call yourself a Saiyan? I'll tell you exactly who I am with my fists!" Vegeta sneered.
"In that case, I'll prepare a stage for your battle." Li Wei raised a hand and snapped his fingers, unfolding the Meta Field.
Meta Field.
Li Wei and the others stood atop a hill, watching Cumber and Vegeta confront each other below.
"Lord Vegeta, teach that arrogant fool a good lesson!" Nappa shouted.
Vegeta curled his lips into a smile. "Of course!"
Cumber rolled his neck, then beckoned lazily with a look of little interest. "Come on. Let me see what you're made of."
"You're courting death!"
Vegeta snorted coldly and roared, raising his ki to its limit!
Even Li Wei was somewhat surprised when he sensed Vegeta's current strength. Vegeta's battle power had likely already surpassed five million.
"Yaaah!"
Vegeta roared as he charged forward, driving a heavy punch into Cumber's abdomen!
Bang!!
After the thunderous impact, Cumber did not budge an inch!
Seeing this.
The smile on Vegeta's face slowly vanished. He looked up at Cumber in shock, only to see him grin and reach out to grab his head.
Whoosh!
Vegeta swiftly leaped back to widen the distance, then unleashed Prince Warfare!
"Ah-da-da-da!!"
Ki blasts as dense as raindrops attacked Cumber from every direction!
Facing Vegeta's assault, Cumber did not even move his feet, simply letting Vegeta attack him.
Rumble!!
Deafening explosions echoed throughout the Meta Field, sending dust flying into the sky!
"Die, Galick Gun!!" Vegeta roared as he unleashed his finishing move!
Rumble!!
The ground trembled and fierce winds howled. It was only because this was the Meta Field—if it had been Earth, it would have been blown apart long ago!
"Huff... huff... huff..."
Vegeta panted heavily, his burning gaze fixed on the other side...
Amid the dust filling the sky, a towering figure slowly emerged. It was Cumber, completely unscathed!
"How is that possible?!"
At that moment, Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz, who had been watching the battle, were all utterly shocked!
The two of them wondered—if they had been the ones attacked just now, they would likely have been reduced to nothing but dust!
"Is that all your full strength amounts to? You can only kick up a little dust." Cumber dusted himself off and sneered.
Vegeta's forehead bulged with veins at Cumber's mockery. He roared, "Don't look down on me!"
Whoosh!
Cumber flashed forward and appeared before Vegeta. A single knee strike sent Vegeta crashing down.
"Argh—"
Watching Vegeta kneel on the ground and howl in agony, Cumber viciously stomped Vegeta's head into the dirt, grinding it down twice with force!
"What's wrong? Is this all the strength you have? Is this all the spirit you possess? Your power should be more than this. Show me your true strength!" Cumber said as he continued grinding down hard!
"Arghhh!!"
Vegeta wailed in pain, but fury blazed in his eyes!
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "You... bastard!!"
"Yaaahhh!!"
Vegeta roared, and his aura took on a faint golden hue. Little by little, he lifted Cumber's huge foot off him.
"Oh? You're finally willing to get serious?" Cumber smiled faintly and voluntarily stepped back two paces.
Vegeta stared fixedly at Cumber. The light in his eyes flickered erratically, and the color of his hair flashed as well...
Seeing this, Cumber laughed. "Looks like you need another push. Let me help you!"
Whoosh!
Cumber flashed forward, appeared before Vegeta, and threw a punch!
Bang!
Vegeta raised both hands and barely blocked Cumber's fist, but a piercing pain shot through both his arms!
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is this all the spirit you have? Show me the true power of a Saiyan!" Cumber shouted, then threw another heavy punch that sent Vegeta flying!
Boom!!
Vegeta crashed into a hill, and billowing dust obscured his figure.
Seeing this, Cumber raised one hand, aimed his palm toward Vegeta's location, and fired a barrage of ki blasts.
Rumble!!
Mountains collapsed and the earth split apart as wild winds howled. Then, from within the endless smoke and dust, an enraged roar shook the heavens and earth!
Boom!
A golden pillar of light shot into the sky, scattering the dust!
Sensing Vegeta's rapidly surging aura, Cumber lowered his hand and smiled. "That's more like it! This is the true power a Saiyan should possess!"
"Let me test the limits of your spirit!"
Vegeta had now transformed into a Super Saiyan. His icy emerald-green eyes were fixed on Cumber as he roared, "You bastard, die!!"
Boom!!
A ki blast came hurtling toward him, only for the laughing Cumber to swat it away with one hand!
"Not bad, not bad! Now that's more like it. Barely worth looking at!" Cumber nodded approvingly.
