Chapter 56: Meeting Vegeta Again
Raditz's sudden attack made Vegeta thoroughly understand—current Raditz's battle power had definitely surpassed his own.
This fact made Vegeta feel somewhat uncomfortable. But he had to accept this reality.
Yet even if Raditz's battle power exceeded his own, Vegeta wouldn't tolerate Raditz's arrogance before him.
"Raditz, seems changing masters has greatly emboldened you. You even dare bare your fangs at me!"
Vegeta no longer hid his aura. White flames began appearing around his body. 30,000 battle power directly exploded outward.
Seeing Vegeta had also concealed his aura, Raditz was startled. But quickly, he laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Vegeta, is this your confidence?"
Finishing, Raditz also began raising his aura. Similarly, white flames surrounded his body. But Raditz's aura was clearly stronger than Vegeta's.
Both warriors' tens-of-thousands battle power auras collided. Directly stirring gale-force winds at ground zero. Sky clouds scattered.
At this moment, Nappa had also recovered. Watching the confronting Vegeta and Raditz, he blinked repeatedly—suddenly discovering he no longer recognized this world.
Nappa didn't know Vegeta and Raditz had previously hidden their auras. He also lacked ki sensing ability. So to check both fighters' battle power, Nappa finally couldn't help it—sneakily activating his scouter.
BEEP BEEP BEEP!
The moment he activated the device, displayed values began continuously climbing. Quickly breaking through 20,000—still rising.
The moment Nappa's scouter beeped, both Turles and Vegeta's faces changed drastically. Vegeta couldn't care about confronting Raditz. He directly turned around, glaring at Nappa with vicious eyes.
Meanwhile, Turles acted even more decisively. He instantly appeared before Nappa's eyes, grabbing the scouter on Nappa's face. With a light squeeze, he directly crushed the device.
Watching the suddenly appearing Turles and Vegeta's vicious gaze, Nappa nervously swallowed. Sweat continuously poured from his face.
"Nappa, are you stupid?! Don't you know these scouters all have Frieza's monitoring backdoors specifically for tracking you?"
Turles's face was also ugly as he directly berated Nappa.
Turles was truly enraged by Nappa's foolishness. Didn't he know Frieza never trusted Saiyans? Hadn't he noticed Vegeta maintaining 20,000 battle power after learning aura suppression? Wasn't that specifically for Frieza's benefit?
Vegeta also approached Nappa at this moment. Face dark, an energy sphere gradually condensed in his hand.
Nappa now knew he'd caused major trouble. Seeing the energy sphere in Vegeta's hand, he immediately began pleading: "Prince Vegeta, I was wrong! Spare me this once! Please spare me!"
He began continuously kowtowing to Vegeta.
Vegeta's painstakingly hidden trump card had been exposed by Nappa. Possibly, Frieza already knew his true battle power. How could Vegeta spare Nappa?
Vegeta completely ignored Nappa's pleas. The now-massive energy sphere in his hand directly hurled toward Nappa.
Nearby Turles felt somewhat shocked by Vegeta's ruthlessness. However, Nappa remained one of the few surviving Saiyans. Turles naturally wouldn't let him die here.
Turles casually caught the energy sphere. Gathering energy in his palm, he began mutually canceling Vegeta's energy. Soon, the energy sphere was completely dissipated by Turles.
Seeing Turles so easily resolve his energy blast, Vegeta's expression grew even uglier. He said coldly: "Turles, are you stopping me?"
"Vegeta, what's done is done. Killing him won't help now. If you truly want him dead, how about letting him follow me?" Turles offered a suggestion.
"Absolutely not!" Vegeta coldly refused.
"Why bother? Saiyans numbers are already few. Moreover, even if Frieza learns your true strength, he can't reach Earth immediately. By then, with my strength, I should manage." Speaking these words, Turles radiated confidence.
"Hahaha!"
Hearing Turles's arrogance, Vegeta immediately laughed loudly.
Turles wasn't angry—just watching Vegeta.
After laughing a while, Vegeta wiped his eyes. Looking at Turles with mocking expression, he scoffed: "You? Turles, I know you're stronger than me. But you absolutely can't imagine Frieza's battle power. Let me tell you—it's 5..."
"530,000!" Turles directly stated the answer.
"You know?" This time Vegeta was thoroughly shocked.
"Gasp!" Everyone nearby who'd been listening collectively drew sharp breaths.
Clearly, they were all shocked by this 530,000 battle power figure.
But Turles ignored everyone's surprise. Instead, he continued: "I not only know Frieza has 530,000 base battle power, but he also has three transformations. His final form reaches 120 million battle power!"
"GASP!"
This time even Vegeta couldn't help it. He somewhat disbelieved. But watching Turles's calm face, Vegeta hesitated.
Vegeta fell completely silent. He hadn't expected his proudly cultivated battle power couldn't even match a fraction of Frieza's.
Perhaps Frieza had always regarded him as a jumping monkey—merely for entertainment.
Vegeta suddenly felt despondent. Regarding Turles taking Nappa, he no longer had any thoughts. He just stood there dazedly alone.
Seeing Vegeta seemingly crushed by his revelation, Turles had Nappa go to Raditz's side. Then he approached Vegeta. Looking toward distant Goku and others, Turles spoke:
"Do you know about the legendary Super Saiyan?"
Vegeta still didn't speak.
Turles didn't mind, continuing:
"Once, your father—King Vegeta—exiled a child. He was the legendary Super Saiyan that appears once every thousand years among Saiyans. His name is Broly."
Vegeta's ear twitched. Light appeared in his eyes.
"Broly was born with 10,000 battle power. Your father feared Broly would threaten his throne. He chose exile—banishing him to Planet Vampa. Broly's father Paragus followed his son to Vampa. On that barren planet, both spent eighteen years."
"This year, Broly turned eighteen. But his battle power has already reached over one million—and that's without any training."
Vegeta was drawn by Turles's words. He looked up at him.
"And I'm currently walking the path toward becoming a Super Saiyan."
Turles's voice remained unhurried, as if Super Saiyan was merely a goal he could easily achieve whenever desired.
"Vegeta, do you know how to become a Super Saiyan?"
Hearing Turles's question, Vegeta's breathing became rapid. Voice somewhat trembling: "You know?"
"Yes!" Turles nodded, continuing: "As long as your base battle power reaches three million, with sufficiently extreme emotional stimulus—like anger—you can break through to Super Saiyan. And Super Saiyan multiplies base Saiyan power fifty times. Meaning once you transform into Super Saiyan, you'll possess..."
"150 million battle power!" Vegeta's eyes turned bloodshot, excitedly stating the answer.
"So—are you still afraid of Frieza now?" Turles suddenly shifted topics, asking Vegeta this question.
Current Vegeta couldn't spare attention answering Turles's question. He'd already become immersed in that terrifying 150 million figure.
---
While Turles worked to ignite Vegeta's fighting spirit, elsewhere, Frieza's forces received special information.
Though Turles had acted quickly enough, data from Nappa's scouter had still transmitted.
Currently, at Frieza Force headquarters, Dodoria was reporting recent planet sales business to Frieza when a subordinate burst in.
"How dare you! Which department are you from? Can't you see Lord Frieza is conducting business?"
Dodoria—most skilled at reading situations—saw Frieza frown and immediately berated the subordinate.
"Dodoria, no need for haste. Let's first hear what he has to say." Frieza—holding a wine glass—elegantly sat on his throne, stopping Dodoria's scolding.
"Yes, Lord Frieza!" Dodoria bowed to Frieza, signaling the subordinate forward.
The messenger approached Frieza, immediately kneeling. Trembling, he reported:
"Lord Frieza, the battle power detector from Vegeta's squad—which you ordered specially monitored—suddenly transmitted anomalous data. After receiving it, we immediately brought it to you."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Frieza became interested: "Explain in detail. Has something interesting happened with our Prince?"
The messenger immediately provided detailed report of received information.
After listening, Frieza showed contemplation, merely gently swirling his wine glass.
