Crackle! Crackle-crackle!
Cloaked in an aura that seemed to burn fiercely, crackling bolts of electricity erupted intermittently around Caulifla's body.
Unlike her earlier temporary outburst, this time Caulifla had truly transformed into a Super Saiyan 2!
Even Yuujin had to admit Caulifla's talent. Upon seeing his transformation, she had immediately grasped the technique to become a Super Saiyan 2, successfully transforming herself.
She was truly a terrifying genius!!!
"Haha, how about that?!"
"Thanks for teaching me this transformation, Master!"
Her face radiated pride and smugness, and she sarcastically called Yuujin "Master" with mockery.
"That's it, Caulifla! Get stronger and stronger—defeat that Yuujin!"
"Sis…"
The God of Destruction of Universe 6, Champa, shouted joyfully, while Kale stood by happily for Caulifla.
She herself couldn't even manage the basic Super Saiyan transformation, while her sister had already reached the even more powerful Super Saiyan 2 form.
As expected, big sister Caulifla was the best!
"Caulifla, I'll admit your performance even surprised me a bit, but don't tell me you actually think just reaching Super Saiyan 2 is enough to defeat me?"
A teasing smile crossed Yuujin's face as he continued:
"After sparring with you, I already figured it out. You probably haven't even been a Super Saiyan for that long, right?"
"Your talent is indeed exceptional. After seeing me transform into Super Saiyan 2, you immediately learned how to do it yourself and even managed to pull it off."
"But growing too fast isn't always a good thing. You haven't even properly mastered Super Saiyan 1, and now you've rushed into Super Saiyan 2. This will only leave your foundation unstable and cause you to gradually lose control over your own power."
"To be honest, in the same Super Saiyan 2 form, fighting me will only make your defeat come faster than before."
Yuujin wasn't trying to scare Caulifla. Everything he said was true.
Back then, every transformation they achieved came through relentless effort and training—laying a solid foundation, mastering each form to its limit before progressing to the next. Caulifla's rocket-like advancement was nothing like that.
Relying purely on her talent to break through repeatedly might grant her tremendous power in the short term, but in the long run, it would harm more than help her growth!
"Hmph, you talk like you know everything."
"If Super Saiyan 2 isn't enough, then I'll just get stronger and stronger—until I defeat you!"
Caulifla snorted coldly.
She didn't care about all that. Right now, all she wanted was to beat this annoying guy!
"You really are an arrogant little brat. Sure, your talent is impressive, but even that has its limits."
"But knowing your stubborn personality, you probably won't listen no matter what I say. Might as well let you experience it for yourself."
Shaking his head, Yuujin once again powered up—transforming into Super Saiyan 3!
"Th-this is…"
Seeing his drastically changed form, radiating an even more terrifying aura, both Caulifla and Kale visibly paled.
"This is Super Saiyan 3, the transformation beyond Super Saiyan 2."
"Super Saiyan… 3…"
"That's right, Super Saiyan 3."
"If Super Saiyan 1 boosts base power by 50 times, and Super Saiyan 2 boosts it by 100 times, then this Super Saiyan 3 increases it by 400 times!"
"Caulifla, don't you pride yourself on your transformations? Go ahead—try and reach this form. Let's see if you can do it."
"But beyond Super Saiyan 3, there's still Super Saiyan 4, and even Universe 7's Super Saiyan God. If you can manage to transform, I'll teach you everything!"
Yuujin grinned as he spoke.
While Caulifla's talent was impressive and Yuujin did intend to take her on as a disciple, her attitude and temperament still needed polishing. Today, Yuujin fully intended to humble her a little.
Otherwise, she'd keep acting like she ruled the world—truly believing she was unbeatable!
As expected, Yuujin's words had a huge impact on both Caulifla and Kale.
Before Cabba had learned the Super Saiyan transformation from Vegeta and passed it on to them, they hadn't even known Saiyans could transform. Yet in this short time, their worldview had been completely reshaped.
Not only was there the regular Super Saiyan, but now Super Saiyan 2, 3—even Super Saiyan 4 and Super Saiyan God had entered the picture!
Just how many forms do Saiyans have, anyway?!
"Don't look down on me! I'll show you right now!"
"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
Clearly picking up on the taunting and sarcasm in Yuujin's voice, Caulifla's competitive spirit was fully ignited.
Letting out a fierce roar, Caulifla once again unleashed her aura and power with everything she had.
She had never been the type to overthink. She just believed—if others could do it, so could she!
Her aura surged, expanding dramatically. The crackling electricity around her intensified, and her hair even began to flicker, showing signs of elongating.
But—
That was it!
The gap between Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3 was enormous. Even Yuujin and Gokumi back then had spent a long time perfecting Super Saiyan 2 before finally breaking through together with each other's help. Caulifla wasn't going to achieve it just by yelling and flaring her energy!
No matter how talented she was—it wasn't happening!
"I don't believe this!!!"
Failing once, Caulifla tried again. And again. And again.
But nothing worked. No matter how many times she screamed or exploded her energy, she couldn't do it. In fact, after draining so much of her power, she couldn't even maintain Super Saiyan 2 anymore—she fell back to Super Saiyan 1, then back to her normal state.
Huff… huff…
Bent over and panting heavily, Caulifla's face was full of frustration and unwillingness. For the first time, she realized she might not be as invincible as she believed.
"So, do you understand a little now, Caulifla?"
Standing before her, Yuujin spoke—completely unsurprised by the outcome.
Caulifla's talent was undeniably high, but Super Saiyan 2 was her current limit. One day, she might achieve Super Saiyan 3 or even 4—but right now, there was absolutely no way!
To be continued…
