Then, under Beerus's horrified gaze, Vegeta actually swallowed the destruction energy in one gulp.
Beerus stammered, "V-V-Vegeta, you're not dead, are you? Have you lost your mind? That was destruction energy, compressed to its absolute limit, and you just swallowed it!"
Vegeta smiled. "Lord Beerus, this little trick surprised you? You really must have slept for too long."
"Tch, as if your little trick could surprise me. I was just warning you to be careful and not screw up," Beerus said disdainfully.
Vegeta said, "In that case, let's keep fighting."
Beerus said, "Fine. Let's see just how strong you really are."
With that, he vanished in a flash, reappeared in front of Vegeta, and kicked at his stomach.
Vegeta twisted aside, grabbed Beerus by the ankle, and spun him around like a windmill several times before hurling him toward a distant asteroid.
Then he unleashed Prince's Tactics on Beerus.
"Atatatata!" "Atatatata!" "Atatatata!"
He hurled energy blasts at Beerus as though they cost nothing.

Son Goku said admiringly, "Vegeta's improved a lot over the years. That's the Saiyan royal bloodline for you."
Champa laughed. "Naturally. Just look at who's been teaching him."
