What on earth, another task? System, I'm going to blow you up...
"Hey, are you a Saiyan?"
"Having a tail, it seems the rumors are true."
Hearing the voice, Xie Yi muttered to himself as he looked at the newcomer.
"Blue combat suit, widow's peak—classic, it's Vegeta."
"At this point in the timeline, he probably won't kill me, but getting beaten up still sucks. If you expect me to cave..."
"Damn it, I'm a transmigrator, how can I be scared!"
With a flash, Vegeta appeared right in front of Xie Yi.
"How did you survive? When Planet Vegeta was destroyed, only Kakarot, Table, Raditz, Nappa, and I should have made it out alive."
Xie Yi now felt a surge of fighting spirit and was no longer cowed in front of Vegeta.
"I am a Saiyan. As for how I survived, it's simple—ever since I left Planet Vegeta as a baby, I never went back, so I wasn't caught in that disaster."
Who doesn't know how to lie?
Vegeta sensed that the other person's ki wasn't very strong.
"Your strength is mediocre anyway. I don't care how you survived, and I couldn't be bothered to find out—unless you have the power to make it worth my time."
Hearing this, Xie Yi asked, "Are you looking for a fight?"
Vegeta happened to be itching to vent his frustration at being surpassed by Son Goku, so he readily agreed.
"Alright then, let's see what kind of skills a surviving Saiyan has. Just so you know, I won't hold back, so you better be prepared to die by my hand."
Of course, he said this partly to push Xie Yi to unleash his potential.
*System, check Vegeta's power level.*
Vegeta (Base Form): 60,000,000
"Hah, there's still a chance."
Xie Yi hadn't quite processed the situation, assuming Vegeta had just unlocked Super Saiyan and would only have a power level of around 6 million.
"Six hundred? Sixty million! Are you messing with me? System, you've got to be kidding!"
"The System does not deceive the host. Kaio-ken reward dispatched. Host, please ensure your safety during combat. You have ten Senzu Beans remaining."
While Xie Yi was wondering if he was about to get effortlessly crushed, Vegeta's fist was already upon him.
"Thud! Swish! Bang!"
Xie Yi was embedded straight into a massive boulder.
"So weak?"
*Ah, that hurts, Vegeta!*
Vegeta opened his palm, and several energy blasts surged forward.
The moment Xie Yi opened his eyes, the sound of impact echoed through his body. The overwhelming force slammed into him, making him feel as though every bone in his body was about to shatter.
Xie Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, clenched his fists tightly, and a layer of red aura flared up around him.
"Kaio-ken times ten!"
"Hah!"
The explosive power unleashed by Xie Yi shattered the boulder entirely, and capitalizing on the momentum, he flashed right in front of Vegeta.
"Hiyah!"
"Bang!"
Vegeta caught Xie Yi's fist with a look of utter disdain.
"Is that all?"
Instead of answering, Xie Yi roared at the top of his lungs:
"Kaio-ken times twenty!"
The sudden surge of power caught Vegeta off guard, causing him to take a direct hit.
Xie Yi used a single punch to drive Vegeta back, then unleashed a massive energy blast with one hand.
After the smoke cleared from the Ki Blast landing squarely on Vegeta, Xie Yi could no longer remain calm.
*Is going Super Saiyan even necessary? Vegeta's power level right now is a staggering 3 billion, and even with Kaio-ken times twenty, I'm only at 80 million.*
"You're an unusual guy. Since you're just like Kakarot and can grow stronger through combat, let's see just how far your limits go."
With that, Vegeta's figure vanished in a flash, followed instantly by a cry of agony.
Xie Yi plummeted from the sky down to the ground. The Kaio-ken state had already worn off, and he had been knocked completely unconscious by a single blow from Vegeta's Super Saiyan Full Power state.
After securing victory, Vegeta left without sparing Xie Yi another glance.
*Hmph, walking away alive after stealing my gravity room is already lucky enough for him.*
Half an hour earlier, Vegeta had returned home and found the gravity room missing. Upon asking Bulma, he learned that another Saiyan had visited his house.
Curious about this mysterious Saiyan, he had tracked him down for this fight.
"Overall, not bad. But I wonder how this guy knows the Kaio-ken? Could Kakarot have taught him?"
Time passed, and eventually Xie Yi woke up.
"Damn, that hurts!"
*System, retrieve a Senzu Bean.*
After eating the Senzu Bean, the System's voice rang out once more:
Host: Saiyan
Bloodline: Ancient Saiyan (Capable of continuously increasing power during combat; power also grows daily without fighting.)
Host Base Power Level: 5,000,000.
Super Saiyan and the Ancient Bloodline.
Ha, hahaha! It seems there's nothing left to hesitate about. In half a month, I'll have my revenge. Frieza, just wait—I'm coming to finish you.
Inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Son Goku was currently meditating to enhance his mental fortitude.
A while ago in this very place, Son Goku had already fulfilled the conditions to transform into a Super Saiyan 3, but right as he was about to break through, he had encountered a manifestation of himself.
Realizing that his spiritual body was not yet fully perfected, he had decided to focus on strengthening his mind first before ascending to Super Saiyan 3.
Son Goku (Base Form): 120,000,000
Son Goku (Super Saiyan 1): 6,000,000,000
Super Saiyan 2: 12,000,000,000
Even if Son Goku didn't train for the remainder of this time, his base power level would still see a significant increase.
At the same time, the two years spent inside had also allowed Son Goku's tail to regrow. Once his strength reached the threshold, he would begin attempting Super Saiyan 4.
Piccolo was at Mount Paozu, looking after Gohan.
"Gohan, I know very well that your potential surpasses even old man Son's. I happen to know your father is training inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber at Kami's Lookout. Would you like to come with me if you have time?"
Piccolo looked at Gohan with eager anticipation.
Gohan replied innocently, "Sure, Uncle Piccolo! Mom went to Grandpa Ox-King's place, so I'm free to hang out with Uncle Piccolo."
Hearing Gohan's answer, Piccolo, who had been trying to maintain a cool and aloof demeanor, instantly lost his composure.
*Gohan is the best,* Piccolo thought with a happy grin.
"It's about time anyway. Let's head to Kami's Lookout—old man Son should be coming out soon."
"Then let's set off, Uncle Piccolo! Dad used to tell me about Kami's Lookout, but he never brought me there."
Acting very much like an "affectionate father," Piccolo saw how impatient Gohan was and wasted no time. He soared straight into the sky, telling Gohan to follow right behind him as they headed toward Kami's Lookout.
Meanwhile, Son Goku was also beginning the final phase of his training: Super Saiyan 3!
