Beerus is such a patch monster!
Aishi, well-versed in the Dragon Ball plot, knew this.
Beerus would upgrade on the spot with every version update—his battle power just kept skyrocketing with no brakes!
He never left a chance for anyone else to catch up.
Son Gokū's expression was grave. "Hearing you say that, Aishi… we need to intensify our training…"
Still competing!
Vegeta snorted coldly, but inwardly, he was already thinking:
He must increase the gravity chamber by another 500 times when he got back!
If you don't die from the training, then you just train till death!
Next up—
It was time for the pairing draw.
By draw number—
Aishi drew number 10, and his opponent was a huge guy over 4 meters tall and 3 meters wide.
The brute lit up when he saw Aishi, thinking victory was assured.
He came forward to mock him.
Aishi just shook his head. No point arguing with an idiot.
At that moment—
A surprised exclamation came from nearby.
Aishi walked over to take a look.
Son Gokū drew number 1. Vegeta was number 2. Piccolo was 3. Krillin was 5...
Well, well, well.
The very first match: Son Gokū vs. Vegeta.
The two men who didn't get to fight Aishi let out regretful sighs.
Both of them had hoped to be matched against him.
Son Gokū laughed, "Vegeta, didn't expect to fight you in the first round."
Vegeta's lips curled up, "Kakarotto, I didn't expect it either—to face you this early."
"How fun. Don't get beaten by me right out the gate!"
"This past year of training—I'll show you what kind of talent the Saiyan Prince has!"
Son Gokū shook his head with a smile. "Don't be so confident. Once we fight, you'll see I'm no slouch either."
Then—
After the announcer gave a long opening speech, he finally called out the two names.
Signaling for both to step onto the stage.
Without hesitation, the two walked directly up to the ring.
After the referee's brief declaration—
The battle officially began.
Son Gokū moved first.
His eyes narrowed as he stomped hard with his right foot, launching forward using that burst of force.
He flew at Vegeta with a straight charge.
And Vegeta was the same.
Both sides exploded toward each other—
Bang!
In an instant, the two figures collided atop the ring.
Fist against fist!
Like needlepoint meeting spearhead.
Boom!
The grid-shaped stage beneath their feet immediately cratered into a semicircle.
And then—
The two engaged in a new round of close combat.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Two figures flashed through the sky, colliding again and again!
Aishi, watching the entire scene, could see it clearly.
Son Gokū's strength far surpassed Vegeta's.
Just from how easily Gokū handled Vegeta's ferocious assaults, it was obvious—
Gokū had a deeper understanding!
Greater battle power!
Gradually—
The fight grew more intense.
What started as probing exchanges evolved into both unleashing their Super Saiyan forms!
Kuririn's expression was serious. "Gokū and Vegeta have gotten way stronger than they were a year ago!"
Piccolo nodded, face turning a little green. "Are all Saiyans like this? Their power just keeps rising like it's nothing?"
Shin, the Supreme Kai, looked shaken. He had underestimated these people's strength.
But, perfect.
Then—
Shin looked toward the group and said, "Everyone, no matter what happens later, I hope you'll lend me your aid!"
His gaze landed particularly on Aishi.
As a Supreme Kai, he had sharp eyes.
He could tell—
This group revolved around that man.
And he couldn't gauge that man's strength either.
Aishi nodded. "Alright."
"Many thanks!"
A small smile appeared on Shin's lips, finally relaxing.
Meanwhile, on the ring—
The battle between Son Gokū and Vegeta reached new heights.
They were now transitioning from Super Saiyan 1 to Super Saiyan 2.
Son Gokū laughed, "Didn't expect you to break into Super Saiyan 2 too, Vegeta!"
Vegeta snorted. "Kakarotto, don't think this is all I've got."
Son Gokū's eyes narrowed slightly.
Both of them had been guided by Aishi.
So their thinking was surprisingly similar.
If Super Saiyan 1 had Full Power, then Super Saiyan 2 must have it too, right?
So—
Vegeta's lips curled upward as he clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead.
He shouted furiously.
"This is… Super Saiyan 2 Full Power!!"
Boom!!!
With Vegeta's thunderous roar, a massive jet-like aura exploded around him.
His hair instantly stood on end—
Zzztt! Zzztt!
Countless lightning bolts crackled around his body, producing sharp buzzing sounds.
His aura surged wildly, overwhelming even Son Gokū in an instant.
"So strong!!"
"No wonder you're my Vegeta!" Bulma shouted excitedly from the audience, unable to contain herself.
Nearby—
Chichi scoffed. "My Gokū hasn't gone all-out yet!"
"Ara~ Who knows?" Bulma waved dismissively, clearly unbothered.
"Tch!"
Chichi shouted, "Gokū, do your best!!!"
Bulma immediately followed, "Vegeta, go for it!"
The two women exchanged glares.
Then both folded their arms and rolled their eyes at each other.
"Ara ara, I say, no need to argue at a time like this. Gokū and Vegeta are both amazing, aren't they…" said Master Roshi with a cheerful grin.
No one knew when he had slipped in between them, taking advantage.
"You old perv!!!"
The two women looked at each other, then smacked Roshi left and right on the head.
"Look down there!"
No. 18 said flatly.
"What is it?" Chichi and Bulma asked in confusion, following her gaze—
And then—
They were shocked by what they saw!
On the stage—
Two figures with an M on their foreheads had appeared. One held Vegeta, the other wielded a drill-like device.
They were sucking Vegeta dry!
Seeing this—
Bulma nearly blacked out.
This is what happens when you steal the spotlight?
Why not suck Son Gokū instead!?
...
Below the stage—
Shin was trying to control Vegeta, but it wasn't stable.
Vegeta was still struggling hard.
Son Gokū wanted to help, but Krillin and the others stopped him.
Krillin shouted, "Gokū, let them drain him! You just hold Vegeta steady!"
"We'll explain everything later!"
Upon hearing that—
Son Gokū looked at Aishi. After seeing him nod, he no longer hesitated.
"Vegeta, hold on for a bit!"
Vegeta had been fighting hard against the restraints, but when he saw Gokū approaching—
He suddenly gave up.
"Kakarotto, stay back!"
If they want to suck—
Then suck all they want!
Vegeta gritted his teeth, veins popping as he roared, "You two faceless clowns—if you want this Prince's energy, then TAKE IT ALL!!"
With that, he stopped resisting and deliberately poured all his energy into the drain device!
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!
In an instant—
The energy-absorbing device began to swell rapidly.
The needle jumped straight to its max reading!
But Vegeta didn't stop. He kept pouring in more power, going all out.
At first, the two brothers looked delighted.
Bring it on!
The more the better!
But gradually—
They realized something was off.
Vegeta was going all-in, burning through his own body to keep pouring in energy.
The gauge needle was now going berserk.
"This is bad—we can't keep absorbing or the device will break!"
Spopovich looked grim.
