The World Changed, Vegeta Became a Super Saiyan 3!

Energy exploded, sending thick smoke billowing and rocks flying.

Son Goku and Son Gohan attacked at the same time, their powerful auras dispersing the smoke. Father and son began fighting once more.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The roar of explosions echoed through the air.

Son Goku and Son Gohan clashed again, pressing their power against each other. Fists slammed into flesh, producing countless deafening booms.

The battle-hardened Son Goku had brought both his fighting technique and experience to the pinnacle of his current realm. After the memories of his previous life fused with those of his present life, both had risen to an even higher level.

He had developed the Turtle School fighting style, which balanced offense and defense, to its utmost. His attacks were fierce and ferocious, while his defense was airtight. The two complemented each other seamlessly.

Son Goku easily defended against every one of Son Gohan's attacks, while the power of Gohan's Mystic state continued to rise throughout the fight.

As the battle continued, Son Gohan's blood began to stir, and he fought with growing vigor.

Even though he had neglected his training, his fighting techniques and memories had long since been etched into his body's instincts. As the battle went on, Son Gohan's most primal fighting instincts gradually began to awaken.

His speed, strength, and reactions were all improving, and his attacks were constantly changing.

As his fighting instincts awoke, Son Gohan began his counterattack.

There was no pattern to his attacks. He acted entirely on instinct, every strike aimed straight at Son Goku's weak points. His assault was fierce and relentless.

Faced with Son Gohan in this state, Son Goku was actually pushed back for a time in his base form.

Just as I thought. With Gohan's talent, all I need to do is awaken his desire to fight, and his power will return at an incredible rate. As Son Goku thought this to himself, he gradually began to exert more power.

Son Gohan had stirred his fighting spirit as well.

Offense and defense switched, and the counterattack began!

"Haaaah!!!!" Son Goku let out a mighty shout. Electricity crackled around him as a white aura erupted from his body.

He went all out in his base form, unleashing one hundred percent of his power!

Instinctively sensing danger, Son Gohan crossed his arms to defend himself.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Three muffled booms rang out in succession.

Three enormous fist marks appeared on Son Gohan's arms, and an unstoppable force swept through his body. By the time he came to his senses, he had been sent flying a hundred meters into the air.

What a heavy punch, and this is Dad's power without even becoming a Super Saiyan! Son Gohan's expression grew grave, and he was stunned.

In just two years, his father's strength had risen to such a level.

Back when Old Kai had unlocked his potential, he had been confident that his Mystic state could defeat Son Goku in his Super Saiyan Third Grade state.

But now, the situation had completely changed. Son Goku didn't even need to become a Super Saiyan; he could overwhelm him using only his base form.

Whoosh!! A sound rang out as someone cut through the air.

While Son Gohan was distracted, Son Goku used Instant Transmission to appear in front of him.

The sight gave Son Gohan an immediate sense of dread.

"Getting distracted in a fight is a serious mistake, Gohan." The corners of Son Goku's mouth twitched slightly. The next second, he aimed a heavy, charged punch at Son Gohan's face.

"Not good!" Feeling the storm rushing toward his face, Son Gohan's expression changed drastically.

At the critical moment, Son Goku held back in time and withdrew his fist.

When Son Gohan came to his senses, he was drenched in cold sweat.

If that blow had hit him just now...

He would probably have lost consciousness and passed out instantly.

"That's enough for now, Gohan. Once you've gotten stronger, we can spar again." Having made his point, Son Goku withdrew his aura.

Seeing this, Son Gohan took a deep breath to calm his restless heart and nodded, determination in his eyes.

For the time being, the battle between father and son had come to an end.

Son Gohan and Son Goku landed at the same time. Son Goku looked around, and everywhere he looked, smoke and destruction filled the landscape.

The sight made sweat break out on Son Goku's forehead, and his mouth twitched repeatedly.

Using a fight to clear the land was indeed a very efficient method, but whether Chi-Chi would accept that was another matter.

Meanwhile.

West City.

Inside Vegeta's gravity training room.

The room was filled with crimson light, and the gravity had reached a terrifying 3,000 G.

That was three thousand times Earth's gravity, and it was already the maximum the gravity training room could produce.

Vegeta stood in the center of the gravity training room, maintaining the peak of his Super Saiyan Second Grade state.

Ever since his tail had been pulled out, he had felt a gate open within his body, and the bottleneck that had troubled him for so long had shown signs of loosening.

He used the pressure of the extreme gravity in the training room to draw out his body's potential and help him break through his limits.

The sensation of his Saiyan blood and energy stirring within him grew stronger and stronger.

He had never felt anything like it before, and it also let Vegeta know that the time was ripe.

"Haaaaaaah!!!!!" Vegeta roared at the top of his lungs and began releasing the immense energy in his body without restraint.

At his deliberate urging, the pool of Saiyan energy in his body was activated, and the vast number of S-Cells within him flowed through his body like swimming dragons.

All his energy converged on the center of his back. With every roar, Vegeta's aura grew more terrifying, and his form began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A pillar of golden energy burst through the confines of the gravity training room and shot straight into the sky.

The terrifying power shook all of West City, and even the entire Earth.

The sudden, massive earthquake gave Bulma and Trunks, who were in the estate, quite a fright, and they hurried out of the house.

Mother and son both noticed the colossal beam of energy shooting into the sky.

The enormous pillar of energy lasted a full ten seconds before dissipating.

As the pillar of energy faded, the turmoil disappeared, and everything fell quiet.

Atop the wreckage of the gravity training room.

Vegeta had broken through his limits as he wished and stepped into a higher realm.

His long golden hair reached his waist, his eyebrows had vanished, and his brow ridge had lowered. Blue-white arcs of electricity coiled around him. Simply standing there, he radiated an invisible pressure, like a lion that commanded respect without anger.

"V... Vegeta?!" Noticing how drastically Vegeta's appearance had changed, Bulma's mouth fell open, and deep surprise flashed through her beautiful eyes.

In a wonderful mood, Vegeta turned to look back with a smile. His confident, handsome appearance brought a flush to Bulma's fair, pretty face.

"Super Saiyan Third Grade?! Dad's become a Super Saiyan Third Grade!!" Trunks shouted in immense excitement.
