As Jass stepped forward.
Both Son Goku and Piccolo agreed.
Instinctively, he took a step back at the same time.
The two couldn't help but exchange glances.
This guy's weird!
Although I couldn't feel an overwhelming aura, the sense of oppression was undeniable!
" Vegeta, watch out!" Son Goku shouted, looking at Vegeta in front of him. "This guy... something's not right!"
However, this well-intentioned reminder was perceived by Vegeta as a sign of disrespect.
"Shut up, Kakarot!"
Vegeta abruptly turned his head, his face filled with anger at being looked down upon.
Don't give me that!
I've surpassed you!
"Just watch!" Vegeta's face was filled with extreme arrogance and a vengeful pleasure. "Once I've cleaned up this trash, the next one... will be you!"
After saying that, he ignored Son Goku and turned all his attention back to Jass in front of him.
I don't care what's wrong with you!
"Daring to spout nonsense in front of a future Super Saiyan is the biggest mistake you've ever made!"
Across from him, Jass remained calm.
It was still that chilling indifference.
He simply raised his right hand slowly.
"Buzz--"
A short-handled battle axe made of pure energy materialized in his palm.
Vegeta looked over, his face showing disdain.
He decided to show these arrogant fools what real power is.
A powerful aura exploded outwards from Vegeta's center!
Pure white flames shot up from beneath his feet, completely enveloping him.
"Snap--!"
The rocky ground beneath his feet could not withstand the terrifying pressure, and spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly from him.
The entire canyon trembled violently under this force!
Son Goku exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with undisguised astonishment.
" Vegeta's ki... is much stronger than before!"
Piccolo crossed his arms over his chest, his brow furrowed.
"Has he achieved this level of improvement in such a short time?"
"Is it just because their injuries have healed? Saiyan... they really are an unreasonable race!"
Every word of Son Goku and Piccolo's exclamations reached Vegeta's ears.
This is it!
That's the feeling!
An arrogant smile crept onto his lips, and his long-suppressed pride was finally released in an instant!
Vegeta turned his head to the side, glancing at Son Goku out of the corner of his eye, his voice filled with sarcasm and glee.
"Did you see that clearly, Kakarot?"
"This is... power that surpasses yours!"
"The legend of the Super Saiyan! It is enough for me, Vegeta, to reach it!"
However, the shock, fear, and even despair that Vegeta had anticipated did not appear on the faces of the group opposite him.
The guy named Jass remained unmoved.
This unwavering disregard and contempt infuriated Vegeta, who laughed in exasperation.
The other party has repeatedly displayed arrogance that is even more infuriating than that of Prince Vegeta!
This is undoubtedly a complete and utter provocation!
"Very good..."
Vegeta no longer suppressed his inner rage.
"Boom--!"
The ground beneath his feet instantly exploded, creating a deep crater!
He transformed into a blinding white streak of light, rushing straight towards Jass, who was blocking his way!
Stop putting on that unfathomable act!
There's a limit to arrogance!
"Scum!"
A furious roar echoed through the canyon, filled with boundless killing intent!
Faced with this earth-shattering attack, Jass simply raised his right hand and used the energy battle axe to block it in front of him.
Vegeta's fist, enveloped in destructive power, slammed heavily onto the axe!
A terrifying shockwave spread out in a ring!
The towering rock walls on both sides of the canyon collapsed and slid down in large areas, as if crushed by an invisible giant hand, stirring up clouds of dust!
"What?!"
Vegeta's pupils suddenly contracted.
This guy... he actually withstood my furious attack without moving an inch?
His anger intensified upon seeing this!
Vegeta's body suddenly sank down, and using the momentum of his forward charge, he delivered a vicious knee strike with overwhelming force towards Jass!
But Jass reacted even faster!
His elbow pressed down precisely, firmly blocking Vegeta's knee strike.
Immediately afterwards, the energy battle axe in Jass's hand changed shape abruptly, shrinking instantly into a sharp short spear!
The tip of the spear flashed with a cold light, grazing Vegeta's shoulder, and thrust out like lightning!
Vegeta felt a chill on his shoulder, followed by a sharp, stabbing pain.
A tear was cut into the brand-new elastic Battle Suit, and a trickle of blood seeped out.
"That guy..."
Son Goku, watching from afar, couldn't help but sigh in amazement at this scene!
"That's terrifyingly strong!"
However, while Son Goku was still marveling at the situation, Piccolo had already transmitted everything back to base!
From the moment Vegeta and Jass clashed.
He knew he'd run into a tough opponent this time!
Anyway, he knew his own limitations; he was no match for that guy!
Judging from Vegeta's current power, he might have already surpassed one of those guys around him who likes to hide their power!
Even so, he had absolutely no confidence that Vegeta could win this battle!
Indeed, the outcome of this battle seemed to come even faster than Piccolo had anticipated!
Vegeta's attacks grew increasingly fierce. He roared and raised his hand, and a ball of light, condensed with terrifying energy, rapidly formed in his palm.
He blasted the Ki Wave almost face-to-face into Jass's chest!
The deafening explosion engulfed everything, sending smoke and dust billowing into the sky.
But the next second, Jass stepped out of the smoke and dust, and the energy shield that had just materialized in front of him slowly dissipated, leaving him completely unharmed.
Jass raised his eyes expressionlessly, seemingly no longer wanting to play.
Suddenly, a terrifying power that Vegeta could hardly comprehend erupted from Jass!
For the first time, Jass accelerated on his own initiative.
Vegeta instantly lost track of his movements!
A heavy punch to the chest, followed by a knee strike, instantly rendered him unable to breathe.
At that moment, Vegeta's mind went blank.
It's not a matter of having a slight advantage at all!
It's completely!
A completely unreasonable and utterly crushing defeat!
That power was beyond his comprehension...
Vegeta was kicked away with great force, his body smashing through the rock wall on one side of the canyon before tumbling back to the ground.
He struggled to stand up.
But he found his legs trembling violently and uncontrollably, his fingers digging deep into the hard rock, yet he couldn't support his heavy body.
That absolute disparity shattered his fighting spirit.
Vegeta lay in the crater of rubble, his vision gradually blurring.
Images of his repeated defeats flashed through his mind.
The pride that belonged to the Saiyan Prince had just been regained was ruthlessly crushed...
His body trembled.
Jass's figure loomed over him.
The energy pistol in his hand reformed into a slender blade, which he aimed at Vegeta's heart.
Just as Jass was about to finish off this Saiyan Prince.
A bright orange figure instantly filled Vegeta's entire field of vision.
Son Goku had somehow appeared before the pit, grabbing Jass's energy blade with one hand!
" Kakarot..."
