"Hah, you want me to be your disciple?"
"That's right. As long as you become my disciple, I'll guide your training from now on and help you become even stronger than you are now."
Caulifla's mouth dropped open in surprise, while Yuujin nodded slightly.
Although she wasn't a match for him yet, Caulifla's combat talent was undeniable—it even made Yuujin feel a fondness for her potential.
If she became his disciple and received proper guidance, Caulifla's future achievements would be immeasurable.
"You think I'm like that guy Cabba, running around calling everyone 'Master'?"
"If you want me to be your disciple, beat me first!"
"Then it's settled. I'll defeat you, and you'll become my disciple."
Caulifla snapped, annoyed. Yuujin simply nodded.
He knew this little firecracker was full of pride—if she were to become his disciple, she'd need to see for herself why she should listen to him. He needed to show her strength she could respect.
"Hmph, you're pretty confident."
"You said that form of yours just now was called Super Saiyan Full Power?"
"If you can do it, then so can I!"
"Ahhhhhh!"
With a snort, Caulifla clenched her fists, trying to transform into the same Super Saiyan Full Power form as Yuujin.
But no matter how much she shouted or how hard she pushed her energy, something just wasn't right.
"You're just recklessly exploding your energy."
"Super Saiyan Full Power can only be achieved through years of rigorous training. It requires perfect harmony between the body, strength, and spirit. It minimizes energy waste and maximizes the combat power of a Super Saiyan. You can't reach that level just by screaming a few times."
Yuujin chuckled, amused.
"Huff… huff…"
"Damn it!!!"
Panting heavily, Caulifla punched the ground in frustration.
"Even if I can't transform into that Full Power thing, I still have a secret move I haven't used yet."
"Just wait—once I use that move, I'll definitely beat you!"
Tilting her head up, Caulifla spoke indignantly again.
Yuujin just shrugged, signaling for her to continue her little performance.
Fuming, Caulifla felt more humiliated than ever before.
She gritted her teeth and swore in her heart—she would definitely make this arrogant bastard eat his words!
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"HAHHHHH!!!"
Clenching her fists again, Caulifla unleashed another burst of energy.
Her arm and leg muscles swelled dramatically—even her chest expanded by a full cup size.
Caulifla, who had originally been quite slim, now looked like a full-blown muscle-bound giantess!
Yuujin's gaze briefly fell on her chest, and he couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly.
Her chest had been rather flat before—not completely flat, but close. Yet now, she'd suddenly jumped up several cup sizes in one go.
"You perv, where are you looking?!"
Noticing his gaze, Caulifla immediately covered her chest and shouted in embarrassed fury.
Yuujin almost laughed—despite her brash, fiery personality, and crude behavior, she still had a shred of feminine awareness after all.
"Sorry, I got a little distracted."
He calmly looked away and replied.
Caulifla's face twitched with anger and embarrassment—being "distracted," was it? Fine, then she'd really give him something to look at!
"Go to hell!!!"
With a stomp, Caulifla shot toward Yuujin like a cannonball.
With a simple sidestep, Yuujin dodged her attack and even tripped her, sending her crashing to the ground.
Humiliated and furious, Caulifla scrambled to her feet and attacked again.
Compared to before, her power had clearly increased a lot—but her speed was completely gone. She was so slow that she couldn't even touch Yuujin.
After flailing about for quite a while, Caulifla still hadn't managed to do anything to Yuujin—she just ended up exhausting herself.
"Why! WHY!!!"
Collapsed on the ground, Caulifla was on the verge of a breakdown.
"Still don't get it? That so-called secret move of yours only boosts your strength at the cost of speed. In real combat, it's basically useless—and it puts a huge burden on your body."
Standing in front of her, Yuujin explained calmly.
In fact, the moment she used that so-called "secret move," Yuujin had already recognized it—it was just like the transformation Trunks used in the original story: Super Saiyan Stage 3.
While the strength was impressive, it came at the cost of speed, making it pointless in a real battle.
"So… that's what it is…"
Caulifla seemed deeply affected, and Yuujin reached out to ruffle her spiky, hedgehog-like hair as he said:
"As my disciple, I'll teach you real training from now on. Stop messing around with all these weird, makeshift transformations."
Truth be told, Yuujin had been curious for a while—and Caulifla's spiky hair felt surprisingly good to the touch.
But just as he was enjoying the moment, Caulifla suddenly exploded:
"Don't touch me!!!"
Electric sparks surged violently around her, and she punched Yuujin square in the chest.
Although Yuujin managed to block it in time, he still let out a muffled grunt and was dragged backward across the ground by the force.
"Haha!!"
"See that?! That's my real power!"
Ecstatic, Caulifla could hardly believe the incredible strength she had just unleashed.
In fact, just before the Tournament of Power began, she had accidentally tapped into this power once—but had been unable to replicate it since. She never expected she'd enter that mysterious state again just now!
"Super Saiyan 2, huh… though the form doesn't seem stable yet."
A glimmer of surprise flashed in Yuujin's eyes as he muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, Caulifla's energy quickly began to fade, and she reverted back to a normal Super Saiyan.
"Tch, I changed back again."
With an annoyed scowl, Caulifla clicked her tongue in frustration.
If only she could fully control that power—she'd definitely defeat that infuriating bastard Yuujin!
"That was Super Saiyan 2. You only accessed that realm temporarily due to emotional intensity."
"The real Super Saiyan 2 looks like this—HAH!!!"
Clenching his fists, Yuujin's body erupted with lightning as he transformed into Super Saiyan 2.
"S-Super Saiyan 2!"
Caulifla's eyes widened as she stared at Yuujin, stunned.
Sensing the shift in his aura, Caulifla suddenly burst into laughter—
"Idiot! You actually taught me how to transform yourself!"
"Super Saiyan 2—I can do it too now!"
"HAHHHHHH!!!"
