Son Goku and Vegeta

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Vegeta closely pursued Son Wuling, his arrogant, unruly demeanor filled with absolute confidence.

Son Wuling had naturally remained wary of Vegeta the entire time. How could he possibly let his guard down? He had even created a special move for cutting off Vegeta's tail after he transformed into a Great Ape.

As expected, he really is proud. I never thought Nappa, that Saiyan, would be taken care of so easily. This is even better. Although Yamcha, Tien, and the others lost their chance to train with King Kai, death isn't a good thing.

Son Wuling could not help thinking that if Nappa had not overestimated himself and approached him, he would not have dealt with Nappa so easily.

"We're here!"

After spotting the Z Fighters, Son Wuling landed on the ground. Vegeta followed, folding his arms across his chest as he coldly watched Son Goku.

"Your battle power is only... no, that's not right. You Earthlings have techniques that let you control your battle power. Kakarot must know one too."

Thinking of how Son Wuling's battle power had been only five before suddenly erupting to fifteen thousand, Vegeta tossed his Scouter aside and began examining the others.

"Hm, a Namekian!"

After noticing Piccolo, Vegeta spoke with some surprise.

"A Namekian?" It was the first time Piccolo had heard that name, and he looked at Vegeta in confusion.

Other than Son Wuling, Son Goku, Son Gohan, Yamcha, and the rest all curiously examined Piccolo and Vegeta.

Vegeta looked at Piccolo with an evil grin. "Namekians not only possess tremendous battle power, but also incredible abilities. They can even use magic. In the universe, I've heard that Namek has wish-granting orbs called Dragon Balls. Hahaha... I never expected such a gain!"

"Even he knows about the Dragon Balls!" Krillin stared at Vegeta in shock, feeling a wave of pressure in his heart.

Piccolo's entire body trembled as Vegeta's words about Namekians kept circling through his mind. So he was not an Earthling.

Piccolo sneered. "Thanks to you, I've figured out who my ancestors were. But I didn't make the Dragon Balls. I'm only skilled at fighting. You're called Vegeta, right? You'll be staying here too."

"What a big mouth. After defeating Kakarot, I'll defeat the strongest Earthling among you. Trash like you are worthy of fighting me? Kakarot, don't waste time. I still have to fight that Earthling, so I'll lower myself and have a match with a low-class warrior like you."

"Hehe... sure!"

Son Goku did not get angry at Vegeta's words. Filled with fighting spirit, he followed Vegeta as they flew to two distant mountaintops.

At The Lookout, Kami had been watching the situation closely. After learning about Namek from Vegeta, he became somewhat emotional, while Popo looked at Kami with even greater concern.

"Only today did I learn that I'm an alien. No wonder I was different from ordinary people. When I first made the Dragon Balls, I had a strange sense of familiarity. Could it be that my distant homeland also has something like the Dragon Balls?"

A fierce wind swept through the entire valley!

Vegeta and Son Goku stared at one another.

Son Wuling, Piccolo, Son Gohan, Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, and Krillin stood side by side.

"Wuling, is it really okay to let Goku fight alone?"

Krillin looked at Son Wuling worriedly and asked.

Son Wuling smiled. "No problem. Goku trained with King Kai, and I left a backup plan too, Krillin."

"You were the one who took care of that guy called Nappa, weren't you, Wuling?"

Piccolo looked at Son Wuling and snorted in displeasure. "Always doing such unnecessary things."

"Haha... everyone, that Saiyan Nappa brought it on himself, so you can't blame me." Son Wuling explained with a smile.

Boom!

Suddenly, a violent roar rang out. Son Goku and Vegeta had already clashed.

Son Goku and Vegeta moved at incredible speed, leaving trails of energy afterimages in the air.

"They... they disappeared... Dad and that Saiyan disappeared."

Son Gohan cried out in surprise.

Piccolo lowered his head and looked at Son Gohan. "Idiot, don't use your eyes. Feel it with your body."

Son Wuling looked at Son Gohan. "That's right, Gohan. Think carefully about what Piccolo and I have taught you during this time."

"Can everyone see them?"

"Yeah!"

Son Gohan nodded. He recalled what Son Wuling and Piccolo had taught him: use his body to sense them.

"I-I can see them... Ah, Dad is at a disadvantage!"

Boom!

Vegeta viciously slammed Son Goku's head into the ground, blasting open a deep crater.

"You should feel honored, Kakarot. A low-class warrior like you gets to trade blows with a super genius of royal blood like me. Hahaha..."

"Kakarot, Saiyans undergo warrior aptitude tests at birth. Low-class warriors with numbers as low as yours are sent to planets without powerful opponents. You could say that you were eliminated."

"Hehe..."

Son Goku raised his head, his face covered in blood, and looked at Vegeta. "Then I'm glad I came to Earth and didn't become like you guys. And I believe that as long as you keep working hard, even someone who's been eliminated can surpass a genius. Double Kaioken..."

Boom!

A red aura condensed around Son Goku's body, and his ki suddenly surged.

"What?"

Vegeta froze. In an instant, Son Goku sent him flying, his fist smashing fiercely into Vegeta's head.

"Argh... y-you bastard!"

"Haaah..."

Vegeta condensed an Energy Blast in his palm and fired it at Son Goku.

"Yah!"

Son Goku condensed an Energy Blast in his palm, and it collided with Vegeta's Energy Blast! A violent shockwave erupted, spreading outward like a typhoon and making Krillin, Yamcha, and the others unable to open their eyes.

"S-So powerful! Goku's ki surged in an instant. Is that the technique Goku learned from King Kai?" Tien was too shocked for words. Vegeta's strength completely surpassed theirs by far.

"That's right!"

Son Wuling explained to everyone, "This technique is called the Kaioken. It can increase all of the user's power by one fold. Goku can now use the Fourfold Kaioken!"

"Ah, so that means Goku can use four times his own power?" Krillin looked at Son Wuling in astonishment and asked.

"That's right..."

Son Wuling nodded in reply. Watching Son Goku pummel Vegeta with the Double Kaioken, Son Wuling finally relaxed a little. As for the moon, once Vegeta transformed into a Great Ape, they would immediately cut off his tail. Son Wuling had specifically created a new move for that, which was why he dared let Vegeta transform into a Great Ape.

"Y-you bastard! Impossible! How can Kakarot's power surpass mine?"

Every time Vegeta fired an Energy Blast at Son Goku, Son Goku easily dodged and struck him in return.

"Impossible! A low-class warrior!"

Vegeta roared unwillingly, leaping into the sky. Looking down at Son Goku on the ground, he burst into laughter as his ki surged violently.

"Kakarot, try dodging this if you can. Even if you evade it, this Earth will be shattered once its core is pierced."

"Y-you bastard!"

The ki surging around Son Goku from the Double Kaioken made the rubble tremble as he brought his palms together.

Son Goku: "Kame... hame... ha..."

Vegeta: "Galick Gun!"

Boom...

A thick blue energy wave and a thick purple energy wave collided!

Seeing the Kamehameha being suppressed by Vegeta's Galick Gun, Son Wuling grabbed Krillin, who was about to rush in to help.

"Don't panic. Goku has only been using the Double Kaioken so far."

"Triple Kaioken!"

With Son Goku's roar, his red aura instantly expanded and surged once more.

The Kamehameha directly forced the Galick Gun back!

"What?"

The Kamehameha struck Vegeta's body. The energy barrier Vegeta desperately formed blocked it. The barrier shattered, but in that brief instant, Vegeta gained a chance to catch his breath and dodged the Kamehameha!
