Chapter 392: Saiyans Can Transform!
Chapter 392: Saiyans Can Transform!
Kakarot, a low-level warrior, had an astonishing power level of 24,000, even surpassing Vegeta, the recognized genius of Planet Vegeta, in terms of strength. It was in this moment that Vegeta truly felt the indescribable humiliation and anger that Raditz and Nappa had experienced.
No, his anger was even greater than theirs, for he was the Saiyan Prince, acknowledged as a prodigy from a young age and burdened with high expectations. Yet, here he was, being overwhelmed by Kakarot, a low-level warrior. It was a blow to his princely pride.
"Aaaaaaaah!"
Vegeta roared with boundless rage, and a powerful aura erupted from his body.
Unfortunately, the plot hadn't reached the point where shouting alone could increase one's power. While Vegeta's anger did boost his power level to some extent, it still fell short of Son Goku's strength after unlocking the Triple Kaio-ken.
Goku didn't indulge Vegeta's temper tantrum and continued his assault.
Under normal circumstances, given Goku's personality and temperament, he would have gradually increased his power level to match his opponent, dragging out the fight for as long as possible.
Despite his mellowed temperament, he retained the Saiyan's innate love for battle, relishing the challenge of a strong opponent.
Goku was well aware of his own limitations; currently, the Triple Kaio-ken was his limit, and the Kaio-ken technique put immense strain on his body, making it impossible to sustain for long.
If this fight became a protracted battle, it would be to his disadvantage, as he didn't know when his body would give out. He had to end this quickly.
Unfortunately, the power level gap between 24,000 and 18,000 wasn't insurmountable, and the Saiyans had another remarkable trait—an indomitable resilience akin to cockroaches.
Despite taking a relentless beating, Vegeta showed no signs of collapsing. Moreover, the Saiyan genes allowed him to continuously grow stronger during the fight.
Previously, Goku had been dominating Vegeta in their sparring sessions, but as the fight dragged on, the tide began to turn.
"Pa—!"
Vegeta caught Goku's punch, which should have landed, with ease, and immediately countered with a punch of his own, successfully pushing Goku back. "Don't get too cocky, Kakarot! I'm the Saiyan Prince of Planet Vegeta!"
As Goku stabilized his stance after being pushed back, Vegeta appeared before him, unleashing an energy blast directly at his abdomen.
A cloud of smoke enveloped the area, and Goku was instantly blasted away, flying several kilometers due to the force of the energy blast's explosion.
"What's happening? Goku's power level should be far superior to Vegeta's by now. Why has the situation been reversed?!"
Watching Goku get blasted away, Bulma, observing from a distance, wore a puzzled expression. According to the power level detector, Vegeta's power had only slightly increased and should still be inferior to Goku's.
Far away on Planet Kaio, North Kaio was also witnessing the fight through the antenna on his forehead, muttering, "The Saiyan race is truly terrifying!
This Saiyan named Vegeta is learning to harness his energy during the fight, using it to sense Goku's position."
And as the battle dragged on, the strain and side effects of the Kaioken were beginning to take their toll on Goku.
The Kaioken was a technique that inflicted 80% damage on the user for every 1000% inflicted on the opponent. If the enemy wasn't defeated quickly, the user's body would soon succumb to the side effects and enter a state of exhaustion.
"That Saiyan called Vegeta is gradually learning and growing stronger, while Goku, on the other hand, is reaching his limits due to the side effects of the Kaioken."
As the North Kai explained, Goku, under the influence of the triple Kaioken, had been dominating Vegeta.
However, Vegeta was now gradually holding his own against Goku, even turning the tide and gaining the upper hand.
"Kakarot, what's wrong? Your speed and strength seem to have weakened significantly compared to just a moment ago."
It seemed that this ability to rapidly increase his power in a short time also came with a heavy burden.
"Once I finish you off, I'll take care of that Majin and those Earthlings as well. Then, I'll destroy Earth, and you'll understand the severity of angering me, Vegeta!"
With his newfound advantage in battle and the acquisition of new skills, Prince Vegeta felt his Saiyan pride returning, and he couldn't resist taunting Goku.
Vegeta had already gained the upper hand, and if he played his cards right, defeating Goku wouldn't be a problem.
But Vegeta fully embodied the saying, "If you're not flashy, you're not a Saiyan." He not only wanted to crush Kakarot physically but also to torment him mentally.
The consequence of this approach was that when Goku thought about losing to Vegeta and the potential destruction of Earth, just like Naria, he became enraged and unleashed the quadruple Kaioken, charging at Vegeta once more.
With the quadruple Kaioken, Goku's power surged to 32,000, a level that was several times greater than Vegeta's.
Vegeta's initial calm demeanor didn't last long, and he soon found himself on the receiving end of Goku's attacks again.
Through his battle with Kakarot, Vegeta had learned to manipulate his energy, but while he could sense Kakarot's location, the vast power gap meant his body couldn't react or keep up with his opponent's speed.
Unlike before, Vegeta could sense that each of Kakarot's punches now carried far more weight.
"Damn you, Kakarot! When your energy runs out, I'll finish you!"
Vegeta, despite taking a beating, had learned from his previous experience and understood the flaw in Kakarot's ability. If he endured a little longer, he could...
Impossible! He was Vegeta, the proud Saiyan prince. How could he continue to be pinned down by a low-ranking warrior? Surely, he had a way to boost his power as well.
Vegeta, who had been on the receiving end of the beating, soon gathered a ball of light in his hand and hurled it into the air.
Saiyans had their unique way of fighting, and they could transform!
