"What? Don't tell me you want to use Cultivators against us? Are you trying to make me laugh myself to death?" Vegeta sneered disdainfully.
Nappa snorted as well. "You idiot, Cultivators only have around 1,200 power levels. I could crush that kind of trash with a single slap!"
"So confident? Then let's give it a try!" Li Wei opened the bottle containing Cultivator seeds, poured out two seeds, and planted them in the ground.
Drip~
Drip~
Two drops of nutrient solution fell into the soil, accompanied by Li Wei's power of light flowing into it!
The next moment.
The ground churned, and two Cultivators appeared before everyone, their entire bodies radiating silver light and V-shaped red crystals embedded in their chests.
"Th-Those are Cultivators? Why did their bodies turn silver?!" Nappa's mouth fell open in shock.
Vegeta's gaze sharpened. He raised a hand and pressed his scouter, the numbers on it rapidly climbing until even Vegeta's eyes widened!
Beep beep~
The number on the scouter froze—12,000!
"12,000 power level! The Cultivators' power level has increased tenfold!" Vegeta ground his teeth.
"What? Impossible! They're Cultivators—how could they possibly have such high power levels?!" Nappa frantically pressed his scouter. When he saw the number displayed on it, he furiously tore it off and crushed it in his hand!
"The scouter must be broken!"
Looking at the disbelieving Nappa, Li Wei smiled. "Whether it's real or not, you'll know after trying."
"Cultivator No. 1, go. Deal with that tall Saiyan," Li Wei ordered.
Cultivator No. 1 nodded and slowly walked up to Nappa.
"You dare look down on me? I'll wipe you all out right now!" Nappa's face flushed red as he roared and charged at Cultivator No. 1.
Cultivator No. 1 flashed aside and dodged Nappa's punch.
Whoosh!
Cultivator No. 1 appeared behind Nappa, leaped up, and kicked him flying!
Bang!!
"Argh~!"
Nappa howled as he flew away, then crashed into and collapsed a hill!
At the sight of this.
Vegeta's mouth hung open in disbelief. "It... it's actually real?!"
Vegeta glared at Li Wei, gritting his teeth as he demanded, "Earthling, what exactly did you do to the Cultivators?!"
Li Wei smiled. "Asking an enemy that kind of question isn't something an outstanding warrior should do."
Vegeta narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Wei. A smile suddenly appeared on his stern face as he said, "That's true. No matter what you did to the Cultivators, it won't change the fact that all of you are going to die!"
Boom!!
The collapsed hill in the distance shook violently, and Nappa came roaring back!
"You damn thing!!"
Nappa opened his mouth and gathered energy, then fired a full-power energy wave from his mouth at Cultivator No. 1.
Seeing this.
Cultivator No. 1 raised one hand and blocked Nappa's full-power blast with just that single hand!
Seeing his all-out attack effortlessly stopped by Cultivator No. 1, fear appeared in Nappa's eyes.
"Ve... Vegeta... help me!" Nappa cried in a trembling voice.
"Tch! How embarrassing... Fine, I'll help you. Don't disappoint me again, Nappa." Vegeta raised one hand, palm facing upward. As his energy gathered, a white sphere of light appeared.
"Let me show you something interesting!" Vegeta looked at the Earthlings, sneered, and threw the sphere of light in his hand into the sky.
"What is he trying to do?!" Goku watched the sphere fly into the sky, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, and the others also stared solemnly at the sky.
Boom!!
As the white sphere exploded, vast amounts of moonlight were released!
"Th-That is?!"
Seeing the white orb in the sky, Krillin and Yamcha seemed to realize something, and their faces immediately turned deathly pale!
Piccolo also stared at the white orb in the sky with gritted teeth, murmuring in a trembling voice, "Th-That couldn't be... the moon?!"
Nappa looked at the moon in the sky and burst into excited laughter. As his tail absorbed enough moonlight, his body began to swell!
"Yaaahhh!!"
Nappa roared as thick fur rapidly grew over his body, and his body began to grow taller inch by inch!
In the end, Nappa transformed into a giant ape over ten meters tall and roared excitedly at the sky!
"I'm going to tear you all to pieces!!" Nappa snarled.
Goku stared blankly at Nappa's giant ape form. At that moment, he seemed to realize something.
"C-Could the monster that crushed Grandpa to death back then... have been me?!" Goku clenched his fists furiously, his heart filled with self-reproach.
Piccolo and the others looked at Nappa's giant ape form and felt the immense ki he was giving off. Their faces went deathly pale, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably!
"The... the gap is too huge!" Krillin said in terror.
Vegeta looked at everyone's reactions and threw back his head in laughter. "Hahaha! Looks like you've realized the gap between yourselves and the Saiyans."
"Let me tell you some good news: after a Saiyan transforms into a giant ape, their battle power increases tenfold!"
"Kakarot, regret not having a tail. Without the ability to transform, you are absolutely no match for Nappa!"
Goku secretly clenched his fists, settling into a fighting stance as he shouted, "Everyone, let's attack together! We can definitely take down that big guy!!"
Of all the warriors present, only Piccolo and Tien still retained a trace of fighting spirit. The rest had been so frightened by Nappa's violent ki that their legs had gone weak, and they could not summon the will to fight at all!
Li Wei turned back and saw Goku and the others' reactions. He smiled faintly, raised a hand to stop them from making a move, and reassured them, "Cultivator No. 1's battle is far from over!"
Hearing this, all the Z Fighters stared at Li Wei in shock. Based on their sense of ki, Cultivator No. 1 was no match for Nappa at all.
Seeing their shocked and confused expressions, Li Wei did not keep them in suspense. Smiling, he said to Cultivator No. 1, "Cultivator No. 1, unleash your true power. Let the people of this world experience the power of light!"
Cultivator No. 1 clenched his fists and slowly closed his eyes. Dazzling silver light bloomed around his body!
Whoosh~
A pillar of light shot into the sky, and then a silver giant around twenty meters tall appeared before Nappa!
Nappa stared at the giant standing several meters taller than himself, his mouth hanging open in shock!
"Y-You... who the hell are you?!" Nappa took a terrified step back.
Vegeta gritted his teeth as he stared at the silver giant Cultivator No. 1 had transformed into, then raised a hand and pressed his scouter.
The numbers on the scouter leaped wildly, reaching twenty thousand in an instant—the upper limit of what the scouter could withstand!
