Speedy Vegeta

Shhk~

Cumber rose into the air and came before Vegeta, asking with a smile, "My name is Cumber. What's yours?"

Vegeta stared coldly at Cumber, raised a hand and pointed his thumb at himself, sneering, "I'm Vegeta, Super Vegeta!"

"I am the prince of the Saiyans. Remember that!" Vegeta said coldly.

"So you are His Highness the Prince. How rude of me. Then, Prince, why don't you entertain me properly? Ahahahaha!" Cumber laughed loudly.

"Your laugh is awful. Shut up!" Vegeta thrust both hands forward, firing a Ki blast!

Not to be outdone, Cumber fired a Ki blast one-handed and clashed with Vegeta.

"What's wrong? Is Your Highness the Prince really that narrow-minded? Can't you even let me have a little fun?" Cumber taunted.

"Bastard!!"

Vegeta roared and increased his energy output, but he was still no match for Cumber.

"My turn!" Cumber laughed as he put in just a little more force!

Shhk~

The Ki blast was immediately forced back. Amid Vegeta's cry of alarm, it struck him!

Boom!!

With black smoke rising from his body, Vegeta fell from the sky.

"D... Damn it! I clearly... clearly transformed into a Super Saiyan!" Vegeta clenched his fists unwillingly, his gaze fixed firmly on Cumber.

Cumber laughed and attacked again!

Vegeta struggled to fend him off, but in the end, he was brutally beaten and knocked unconscious on the ground.

"The victor has been decided."

Li Wei said calmly, dispelling the Meta Field.

He turned to glance at Nappa and Raditz, whose mouths were hanging wide open, and reminded them, "Snap out of it. Hurry up and check on Vegeta."

"O... Oh, right!"

Prompted by him, Nappa and Raditz hurried over to Vegeta and checked his condition.

Cumber slowly walked over and said, "Don't worry. They're only superficial injuries. This pain will become the driving force that pushes him forward. Grow well, my fellow Saiyan."

With that, Cumber turned and left, returning to Li Wei's side.

Li Wei glanced at Cumber and introduced the three of them, pointing at Vegeta's group. "Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz."

"This is Cumber. He is also a Saiyan."

"Alright, you all know each other now. Is there anything you want to talk about?" Li Wei asked.

No one said a word.

"If that's the case, I'll take Cumber and leave. When Vegeta wakes up, tell him that if he wants to challenge Cumber, he can come to Noah's Temple anytime," Li Wei instructed.

"Yes, Lord Li Wei!" Nappa lowered his head and replied respectfully.

Seeing this, Raditz hurriedly did the same. His eyes already showed reverence for Li Wei.

Noah's Temple.

"Cumber, you can live in the temple from now on. Of course, if you want to go out and have some fun, that's fine too," Li Wei said.

Cumber nodded, his gaze lingering mostly on Broly beneath Noah's statue.

"Lord Li Wei, may I spar with Broly?" Cumber asked.

"If he doesn't object, I have no problem with it," Li Wei said.

Having received the answer he wanted, Cumber smiled in satisfaction.

Time passed like a swift horse.

In the blink of an eye, several months went by.

Ever since Son Goku and Vegeta fought Cumber that day, they came to the temple every few days to challenge him.

Cumber never refused. Every time, he eagerly gave Son Goku and Vegeta a beating.

Because of this, Vegeta learned of Son Goku's hidden power, dealing a huge blow to his pride!

After that blow, Vegeta stopped challenging Cumber and instead sought out Son Goku. He even forcefully demanded that Son Goku transform into Super Saiyan God—Red, declaring that he had to defeat Son Goku!

After a while, Vegeta was thoroughly beaten into depression!

"Lord Li Wei, please train me even more strictly. I... I must defeat that bastard Kakarot!" Vegeta said through gritted teeth.

Seeing Vegeta's sincere attitude, Li Wei carefully sensed his heart... Though some darkness remained, most of it had become very clear.

The current Vegeta could be called a good person!

"Alright, I'll teach you for a while," Li Wei said.

Vegeta's face lit up with delight, and he quickly bowed. "Thank you very much, Lord Li Wei!"

"Then come in with me." Li Wei led Vegeta into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Ikaros followed them inside as well. Li Wei had originally wanted her to stay outside, but the little girl insisted on tagging along.

Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Li Wei bestowed Nexus's light upon Vegeta.

"This is the power I gave Goku. Now the two of you are standing at the same starting line again. It's just that Goku got a head start. Let me help you catch up to him," Li Wei said.

"Thank you, Lord Li Wei. I'll definitely train hard! First I'll surpass Kakarot, then I'll surpass that guy named Cumber!" Vegeta clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with excitement!

"Fine, I'll train with you for a while. Life's pretty boring anyway," Li Wei said.

A few months later.

Li Wei emerged from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with a completely transformed Vegeta.

Beneath Noah's statue, Cumber sat cross-legged beside Broly, undergoing the same training as Broly.

Suddenly.

Cumber sensed a powerful ki. It was being released with almost no attempt at concealment, and he couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.

"My fellow Saiyan, you've gotten stronger again!"

Cumber rose to his feet, glanced at the still unmoved Broly, and asked, "Broly, as a Saiyan of the warrior race, aren't you curious about how strong Vegeta is now?"

Broly kept his eyes closed and replied flatly, "No."

"Is that so? You really are a dull one. How boring. Then I'll go find Vegeta!" Cumber laughed as he headed toward the temple.

But before Cumber could enter the temple, Li Wei emerged with Ikaros and Vegeta.

Seeing the dramatically changed Vegeta, Cumber's face filled with eagerness as he laughed excitedly. "My fellow Saiyan, you've gotten stronger!"

Vegeta glanced at Cumber, curled his lips into a smile, and said, "Cumber, step aside for now. The first opponent I want to fight after coming out isn't you!"

"Your opponent is here," Li Wei said.

Almost as soon as Li Wei finished speaking, Son Goku arrived at Noah's Temple.

Whoosh!

Son Goku flew over and landed in front of Vegeta.

"Vegeta, you've gotten stronger!" Son Goku stared at Vegeta with blazing eyes.

Vegeta looked back at Son Goku confidently, clenched his fist at him, and smiled. "Kakarot, fight me! This time, I'll definitely defeat you!"

"Sure, I'd love to!" Son Goku grinned as he clenched his fists, equally eager to fight.
