Chapter 132 – Vegeta Feels Like He's Got It Again
But for Lin Qi, the power that burst forth wasn't all that different—in his eyes, the difference between a firefly and moonlight was obvious without needing to think about it.
Vegeta's rapid charge... in Lin Qi's eyes, it wasn't much faster than a snail.
"Didn't expect this… Looks like I'm about to start beating you up again," Lin Qi sneered, the corner of his lips curling coldly.
Fortunately, Lin Qi's control over his battle power in this normal state was already at a precise level.
He knew exactly where to hit for the most pain, how hard to strike...
In less than thirty seconds, Vegeta was already beaten into a sorry state, lying on the ground groaning. As for the ever-loyal Nappa...
He just turned his head and closed his eyes. What could he do? The bald guy couldn't bear to watch Vegeta get wrecked like that!
"This isn't how I imagined it would go!" Goku clenched his fists and shouted at Lin Qi.
"You made us train for a whole year, and now you've stolen our opponent!"
"Yeah!" Piccolo and Tien nodded furiously like pecking chicks. They'd trained hard for a year—they weren't here to watch Lin Qi show off.
"No worries… I've thought about this already!" Lin Qi gave an awkward laugh, then pulled out a Senzu Bean and fed it to Vegeta.
"Even though this went beyond my expectations, it's still within control. Totally salvageable!"
"You…" Vegeta climbed up from the ground, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Lin Qi. "You bastard…"
"Could it be... you're the legendary Super Saiyan?!"
"No, no... not right now," Lin Qi replied calmly as he looked at the battered Vegeta.
"So, how are you feeling right now?"
"Feeling…" Vegeta stared at his hands in confusion. "My battle power…"
"It went up, didn't it?" Lin Qi said coolly, then began painting him a grand picture.
"As long as you obediently follow orders and eat Senzu Beans like this, your injuries will recover and your power will shoot up!"
"Then defeating Frieza won't be a problem!" Hearing that, a bloodthirsty smile crept across Vegeta's face.
His original power level had been 18,000, and now it had already jumped to 20,000—all just from getting a beating...
If he were actually near death!
"Tch!" But Vegeta was still acting tsundere, showing no gratitude as he gave Lin Qi a cold glare.
"Don't think I don't know what you're after—you want this Saiyan prince to become your subordinate? Never!"
With his injuries healed and power level increased, Vegeta felt like he was back in top form again.
"Hey, hey, Lin Qi, if you had such a great method, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Goku pouted, looking seriously annoyed.
Such a great trick, and he didn't even get to use it!
"You're the strongest on Earth—am I supposed to hang around and fight you every day?" Lin Qi scoffed in disdain.
"But now's your chance... Looks like that guy still hasn't had enough of a beating! It's your turn!"
"Hmph… You're doing this on purpose. I could've just attacked myself to near-death, y'know… So stingy…" Goku grumbled, clearly not buying it.
Lin Qi absolutely wasn't about to admit he completely forgot about it. He patted Goku on the shoulder and shoved him forward. "Go on, Goku!"
"Heheh…" Goku was all geared up as he walked forward and looked at Vegeta. "Let's do this!"
"You bastard, I'm the prince of all Saiyans!" Vegeta's opening moves were vicious and ruthless!
No need to describe the fight in detail—at least from Lin Qi's perspective, it was no more than child's play.
But to the others, it was a different story. They gasped in awe and amazement nonstop.
Chiaotzu: "So strong!"
Nappa: "Who would've thought a low-class warrior could go toe-to-toe with Vegeta like this?!"
Piccolo: "Goku's that strong and still locked in a tough battle?!"
Yamcha: "Goku's already using the Kaio-Ken… Look, Vegeta just created a fake moon and turned into a Great Ape!"
Krillin: "That's a 10x Kaio-Ken! Can Goku's body even handle it…"
Gohan looked worried. "Dad…"
Babysitter Piccolo: "Gohan, believe in your father!"
As the battle reached its climax, it remained neck and neck. Goku raised his arm high.
Tien: "Goku's going for the Spirit Bomb!!"
Raditz: "Hmph, no worries—Vegeta can't sense energy!"
Just like Raditz said, Vegeta couldn't sense energy, so he just stood there dumbly, staring at Goku with his arms raised, making no move to attack.
The Spirit Bomb's energy steadily grew stronger. Even though Vegeta didn't know what it was, he sensed something unfavorable building up.
He acted decisively. Even Goku's incomplete Spirit Bomb was enough to deal with Vegeta.
This battle came to a proper end.
Goku fell from the sky and crashed to the ground, clearly heavily injured.
Vegeta, on the other hand, was in even worse shape—near death. He reverted from Great Ape form back to normal.
After stuffing a Senzu Bean into both of them, Lin Qi asked Vegeta again, "Alright, back to the main question—do you still need time to think? Or do you want another beating?"
"Massive boost in power…" Vegeta finally understood. He finally grasped how that little half-breed brat had gotten so powerful.
By using the Saiyan trait of growing stronger after surviving near-death… and repeating the process to farm power! Right now, his battle level had already shot up to 28,000!
"Hmph… At this rate, I'll be able to surpass Vegeta—this so-called Saiyan genius, the prince himself!!"
Raditz was already dreaming of that day. "Didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly!"
"No—if you train together, while you're getting stronger, he's also getting stronger!" Piccolo doused Raditz's fantasy with a bucket of cold water.
"Hey, hey… can we do this too?" Tien clenched his fists and looked at Lin Qi with excitement.
"No!" Lin Qi rejected him flatly. He then looked at Vegeta, who was still silent, fists clenched.
Even Piccolo wore a hint of disappointment—were Saiyans just cheating when it came to combat power?!
"Before we get to that, let me explain Frieza's real strength! When the time comes, I'll send you all to fight him!"
Seeing Vegeta stay silent, Lin Qi figured this guy was back in tsundere mode again—thinking he was hot stuff!
"Isn't it 530,000? I've heard it from the Ginyu Force…" Vegeta gave Lin Qi a cold glance, still trying to figure out what this guy was up to.
He clearly had no intention of killing him, even helped him power up… But didn't seem like he wanted him as a subordinate either?
"Frieza has four forms. The first one—the one you've seen—is indeed at a power level of 530,000!"
