The Kami's Lookout, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
The pure white space stretched to the horizon, where two dazzling golden lights flashed at high frequencies in mid-air, separating and merging, creating continuous sonic booms.
With his long, waist-length golden hair and prominent brow bones, Son Goku's right fist, enveloped in a violent surge of energy, slammed down directly into Vegeta's face.
Vegeta's neck jerked to the left, the force of the punch grazing his temple.
He didn't even care about his cheek being slashed by the strong wind. Taking advantage of the moment when he closed in, he suddenly raised his right knee and slammed it hard into Son Goku's abdomen.
Bang!
A muffled thud exploded, and Son Goku's stomach convulsed violently.
In the instant he bent over from the blow, his left elbow slid down, striking Vegeta's right arm squarely.
Neither of them retreated an inch, and they engaged in close combat in this small space, their fists and feet clashing, each collision causing the surrounding white air to explode in a chain reaction.
The intense, continuous exchange of fire lasted for over a hundred rounds.
The overwhelming power of Super Saiyan 3 was fully revealed in this head-on clash.
With each clash of fists and palms, a violent, hidden force surged through the contact surface and seeped into Vegeta's bones.
Vegeta's arms, which were used for the cross-block, began to spasm uncontrollably, and his forearms gradually lost sensation, causing his defensive stance to become extremely slightly deformed.
Now!
Son Goku seized the half-inch opening when Vegeta's left arm dipped, and his right leg drew a full moon in mid-air, sweeping heavily into Vegeta's side.
Vegeta's protective aura was instantly shattered by the kick, his ribs cracked, and he was sent flying.
Before he could regain his balance in mid-air, Son Goku had already teleported in front of him, Instant Transmission his waist and thrusting his hips, delivering a powerful punch straight to Vegeta's chest!
boom--!
Vegeta's back slammed into the hard white floor of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, creating a deep crater, and shards of floorboards flew everywhere.
He was ultimately no match for Son Goku's Super Saiyan 3.
The crackling electric arcs on his body shattered, the golden flames completely dissipated, Vegeta's hair returned to its black color, and he returned to normal.
Lying at the bottom of the pit, my chest burned with pain, and every breath I took felt like my lungs were being torn apart.
Lost again...
Vegeta remained silent for a moment.
In mid-air, Son Goku was soaked in sweat, his signature long golden hair had disappeared, and he had returned to his normal black hair. He landed on the edge of the pit, panting heavily.
Son Goku wiped the sweat from his face, walked to Vegeta's side, bent down, and extended his right hand to him.
Snap!
Vegeta snorted coldly, raised his numb right hand, and slapped away Son Goku's outstretched palm.
He braced himself against the cracked ground with one hand.
"Don't give me that, Kakarot!"
"I won't be content to follow behind you!"
Son Goku sheepishly withdrew his hand, touched his nose, and was already used to Vegeta's bad temper.
Vegeta raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his breathing gradually calming down, and stared intently at Son Goku.
" Super Saiyan 3! Not an ideal transformation!"
Do you remember Turles from that time?
Son Goku was slightly taken aback.
He looked down at his still slightly trembling hands, his body feeling incredibly empty from maintaining the Super Saiyan 3 form.
While this transformation is incredibly powerful, it consumes far too much fuel.
Son Goku scratched the back of his head and nodded obediently in agreement.
"Indeed... the stamina loss from Super Saiyan 3 is too severe... and the power cannot be maintained for long..."
As soon as he finished speaking, images from his time on King Kai's Planet flashed through Son Goku's mind.
At that moment, the five Saiyan held hands and poured all their energy into their brother's body. The resulting flame-like red aura that rose from his body was gentle and restrained, yet terrifyingly powerful.
Son Goku suddenly raised his head, his voice rising several notches.
"You mean... your brother's Super Saiyan God transformation?"
"That's right! It's that power called God Ki!"
The path of Super Saiyan 3 old is already a dead end that leads to physical exhaustion.
If they're powerful enough, that's one thing... but they can handle some overdrafting...
Even if he gritted his teeth and followed in Kakarot's footsteps to master Super Saiyan 3, he would at best be a second Kakarot...
Meanwhile, on the Supreme Kai Planet.
On the lush green open space, a gentle breeze rustled the tips of the grass.
Son Gohan changed into a dark blue Supreme Kai outfit, sat cross-legged on a flat blue stone, and stood ramrod straight.
Directly opposite him, the Old Kai was also sitting cross-legged, the two of them staring at each other for several hours.
He said he was guiding potential, but after the old man had him sit down, that was the end of it.
You don't even have a breathing incantation, are you just sitting there doing nothing?
Earth could be attacked again at any moment. Dad and Uncle Vegeta are training hard, but I'm wasting my time here daydreaming.
The prolonged silence made Son Gohan start to feel uneasy.
He remained seated cross-legged, his eyes tightly closed, and tried to peek across the room through a crack.
Upon seeing this, Son Gohan almost couldn't catch his breath.
The Old Kai sitting opposite him wasn't using any divine magic at all; his withered head was desperately leaning forward, his gaze fixed on a crystal ball placed between the two of them.
The Old Kai sticking out, grinned so hard his face was all wrinkled.
The crystal ball was covered by a thin layer of divine white mist, completely obscuring the images inside. Apart from the Old Kai himself, no one else could see what inappropriate content was being shown inside.
A bead of cold sweat slid down Son Gohan's forehead.
This is the Old Kai...
Is it reliable or not...?
Can it truly grant me the power to defeat a powerful enemy?
Just as Son Gohan was mentally ranting and raving and preparing to ask a question...
Don't get distracted!
The Old Kai didn't even lift his eyelids; his gaze remained fixed on the crystal ball, and he suddenly reminded him...
Son Gohan shuddered violently.
It seems that while the other party was outwardly looking at the crystal ball, their divine sense was actually locked onto him the whole time, and that slight psychological fluctuation he had just experienced was entirely under their control.
Son Gohan dared not have any more distracting thoughts, and quickly and obediently closed his eyes, gathering all his wandering thoughts back.
Under a large tree not far away.
Shin and Kibito watched silently.
"What on earth is our ancestor doing?! So much time has passed, and there's still no sign of anything!"
" Supreme Kai, the Son Gohan!"
Shin paused, then focused his attention on investigating, following Kibito's suggestion.
In the distance, one could see Son Gohan sitting quietly with his eyes closed.
In this seemingly absurd sitting, one gradually settles and solidifies within.
Beneath Son Gohan's tightly closed eyes, his pupils moved slightly, and the solid ground of Supreme Kai Planet resonated and trembled without warning, causing the surrounding pebbles to float up into the air along with the grass.
