A Fated Battle Years Apart!

With Vegeta's arrival, the atmosphere on the field rapidly changed.

Popo and Dende subconsciously retreated to the side.

They vaguely guessed what was about to happen next.

Son Goku took a step forward, maintaining his Super Saiyan First Stage Full Power State, his emerald green eyes fixed on Vegeta directly ahead.

Vegeta met his gaze without fear, a slight smirk on his lips.

Their eyes collided, and the invisible pressure emanating from them enveloped the entire Kami's Lookout, making the atmosphere even heavier.

Both sides fell into a stalemate, neither willing to be the first to break the silence.

It was only after a long time that Vegeta finally broke the stillness.

"Super Saiyan First Stage Full Power State, huh? It seems your training is progressing quite smoothly, Kakarot."

With his current insight, a few glances were enough for him to see where Son Goku's strength stood in his current Super Saiyan First Stage Full Power.

Strong, but only to that extent, not yet enough to surpass him.

After his battle with Talot, his understanding of Super Saiyan Second Grade had deepened, and his Base Form Battle Power had also improved. The current Kakarot was, at most, comparable to himself from two days ago.

"It seems you haven't been idle these past two days either. Compared to the last time we met, you've undergone quite a few changes. But constantly pushing your body like that can sometimes lead to regression instead of progress, Vegeta." Son Goku naturally noticed the changes in Vegeta as well.

Although there was no difference on the surface, he knew Vegeta, and that this guy must have been training non-stop for the past two days.

"I don't need you to remind me, Kakarot," Vegeta retorted domineeringly.

Immediately afterward, Vegeta stretched his body and adopted a fighting stance.

In an instant, the S-Cells in his body pulsed, accompanied by golden flames sweeping over his entire body, and he entered the Super Saiyan First Stage Full Power State in an instant.

"Let's settle this once and for all, Kakarot. I've waited too long for this moment!" Vegeta shouted, his fighting spirit soaring.

Ever since he came to Earth to fight Kakarot, he had never fought him again.

And since then, he seemed to be under some kind of curse. Kakarot was always able to walk ahead of him, even completing the Super Saiyan transformation before him.

Now, fate had destined them to fight again.

Their strength had both improved, and compared to their first battle, the outcome would be changed!

"I've been waiting for this battle for a long time too, Vegeta." Infected by Vegeta's fighting spirit, Son Goku's eyes began to burn with raging flames, and he became extremely excited.

He had simulated this battle many times through meditation while training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Honestly, he didn't have full confidence in defeating Vegeta.

After all, this guy's Battle Power and fighting style were what they were. If he faced him, he would have to pay a heavy price to win.

Just then, an accident happened.

'Grumble, grumble~~!!'

A series of loud noises came from Son Goku's stomach.

This burst of loud noises broke the solemn atmosphere of Kami's Lookout. Vegeta was dumbfounded when he heard the sound, and he was a little exasperated, but he couldn't say anything.

The feeling was there, but then this happened.

Seeing this, Son Goku smiled embarrassedly and said, "Um... Vegeta, how about we postpone our match for a while? I'll fill my stomach first and then fight you."

Vegeta's mouth twitched, and he felt very speechless.

What else could he say at this time? "Hmph! Hurry up." Vegeta snorted coldly, then directly released his Super Saiyan First Stage Full Power transformation, and stood aside with his arms crossed.

After getting Vegeta's consent, Son Goku quickly ran to Popo and asked him embarrassedly to quickly prepare some food for him.

Hearing this, Popo nodded. He had actually prepared it long ago.

Under Popo's operation, plates of food were brought out.

Seeing this, Son Goku no longer hesitated and quickly started eating.

Son Gohan on the side was the same. Since he started cultivating, his stomach had become even more capable of eating.

The two swept away the food like a whirlwind, making Dende and Popo on the side sweat profusely.

Dende was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, while Popo took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

This was even more than he had imagined.

He remembered that the food reserves he had prepared for Son Goku and Son Gohan were more than the food he had prepared for Vegeta and Future Trunks.

It had only been a year and four months, but it felt like the two of them had been hungry for a very, very long time, like they were reincarnated hungry ghosts...

Vegeta, who was standing to the side, glanced at Son Goku and Son Gohan from time to time.

Of course, he wasn't concerned about the way they were eating.

Rather, it was the fact that Son Goku and Son Gohan hadn't leaked even a trace of their aura in their Super Saiyan First Stage Full Power State while eating.

This meant they had completely mastered Super Saiyan First Stage Full Power.

Their control over their power is far more refined than I thought. It seems Kakarot and his son have worked hard in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. However, even with such a small difference, they still can't win against me, Vegeta thought to himself.

Before long, Son Goku and Son Gohan had finally cleared away all the food in front of them.

Having eaten his fill, Son Goku finally returned to his peak state. He got up and moved around a bit to digest, and after feeling that all the food in his stomach had been digested, he walked up to Vegeta. The smile on his face quickly disappeared, replaced by a deep seriousness.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Vegeta. We can start now." Son Goku changed his demeanor, showing that he was fully prepared for battle.

The upcoming battle was not going to be a small skirmish. He would go all out and show all the results of his training.

"I've been waiting for this moment, Kakarot. This time, don't let anything unexpected happen again." As soon as he finished speaking, Vegeta slowly rose into the air, with Son Goku following closely behind.

The two of them ascended together, leaving the platform of Kami's Lookout, and only stopped after reaching a height of a hundred meters in the sky.

The two were at the same height, and Vegeta transformed into Super Saiyan First Stage Full Power State again.

However, compared to his previous transformation, Vegeta's current transformation didn't restrain his aura at all. The moment he transformed, his violent aura swept across the entire sky like a flood, and the fierce storm overturned everything, impacting all directions.

The reason he released his aura so recklessly was just a way for Vegeta to highlight his own powerful strength, a small trick to give Son Goku a show of force.

Although the effect was minimal and it consumed a little energy, this amount of energy was almost negligible for Vegeta.

He couldn't lose the battle, and he had to maintain his imposing manner!

"A very amazing aura, but there's no need to use such tricks on me, Vegeta." After Son Goku finished speaking, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

A powerful aura, like a destructive tornado sweeping across the sky and earth, spewed out from his body.

The destructive auras erupting from the two bodies collided with each other, tearing the sky and shaking the space, until they dissipated and returned to calm after ten seconds.

After the first round of aura confrontation, the two had a rough understanding of each other's strength.

Vegeta had been looking forward to this battle for a long time, preparing for too many years, and so had Son Goku.

Today's battle would not end until one of them fell completely.

The people on the platform of Kami's Lookout watched this scene, focusing their attention.

They were also very curious about how this battle would end.

Would the victor be Son Goku, or Vegeta?

"Take this, Kakarot!! This time, I will wash away my shame!!" With a hysterical roar, Vegeta took the lead, entering a state of explosive aura, rushing towards Son Goku like thunder, his domineering iron fist, infused with the power of his whole body, heading straight for Son Goku's face.

Seeing this, Son Goku immediately took countermeasures, raising his hand and throwing a heavy punch to meet it.

A loud *"Boom~!!!"* resounded.

The moment the two fists collided, the powerful fist pressure impacted all directions, causing bursts of spatial ripples.

The two exchanged a punch, and were simultaneously sent flying backwards by the backlash of power.

Quickly stabilizing his figure, Vegeta launched another attack, merging his hands together and continuously releasing Energy Blasts to bombard Son Goku in a covering manner.

Faced with the continuous Energy Blast bombardment coming head-on, Son Goku quickly erupted with energy, his figure flashing like a phantom in space, perfectly avoiding all of Vegeta's Energy Blast bombardment.

"Hmph~! I'd like to see how long you can dodge, Kakarot!" After Vegeta finished speaking, golden lightning flashed in his eyes, the muscles in his arms swelled, and the number of Energy Blasts continuously output from his hands instantly doubled.

"Vegeta, you bastard..." Son Goku, who was dodging, felt the increased frequency of Vegeta's attacks and felt immense pressure.

Once Vegeta entered a battle state, he would go crazy. His fighting style was to never stop until he had completely defeated his opponent in one go.

Faced with such a strong attack, Son Goku felt immense pressure, and even accidentally had his training clothes grazed by a Ki Blast.

Forced to act, Son Goku placed his right hand in a sword-finger gesture on his forehead and instantly used Instant Transmission to appear behind Vegeta, pressing an Energy Blast towards Vegeta's back with his right hand.

"Instant Transmission?! I almost forgot you knew that trick!" Vegeta, whose battle senses were highly alert, wasn't about to let Son Goku succeed, and quickly condensed an Energy Blast to counter.

'Boom!!!!!!!!!'

The Energy Blast exploded, flames engulfed the area, and the shockwaves expanded, sending both of them flying back a dozen meters before they could stabilize themselves.

"You were able to react to that? I underestimated you, Vegeta." Son Goku's eyes narrowed, surprised.

To be able to react to Instant Transmission, just how sharp were this guy's battle senses? This was too much of an improvement in one go.

"Such petty tricks are useless against me. Don't embarrass yourself by showing them off, Kakarot." Vegeta was extremely pleased, his lips curving upward as he once again adopted his classic fighting stance.

"It seems Instant Transmission won't be very effective against you. In that case, I'll have to choose another way to fight. I'll also let you see my improvements to my own fighting method. This is specifically designed to deal with you." Son Goku's face was replaced with a heavy seriousness, and golden energy erupted around him as he also adopted a classic fighting stance.

This was the new version of the Turtle School Fighting Method that he had spent nearly two years perfecting in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

The previous fight was just a warm-up. The real battle starts now.

"Hmph!! Then let me see it! Don't just talk the talk!" Vegeta said disdainfully.

In the next second, both of them simultaneously unleashed hysterical battle cries.

Both transformed into golden streaks of light, charging towards each other.

The moment they collided, a deafening roar reverberated in all directions.

Instantly, space rippled as they exchanged dozens of blows in just a few seconds, their immense power creating storm after storm in the air, seemingly capable of tearing everything apart.

This storm was also sweeping across Kami's Lookout, but Talot managed to defuse it in time.

Popo and Dende watched the battle in the sky, terrified and ashamed, only hoping that these two would take it easy during their fight and not accidentally blow up Kami's Lookout.

After all, they really couldn't withstand such a terrifying bombardment of power.

As for Son Gohan, his expression was quite calm. He could easily accomplish this level of combat now.

Moreover, he also knew that his dad and Vegeta weren't serious yet; they were just playing around.

"Gohan, aren't you planning to go up and fight with them? With your current strength, you're fully qualified." Talot said to Son Gohan, struck by a sudden impulse.

In his opinion, although Son Gohan had undergone more than a year of hard training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, unleashing his potential and greatly increasing his strength, he was still just a child at heart. He needed to go through a brutal battle to fully awaken.

"Although I really want to go up and compete with Dad and Uncle Vegeta, this is their fight, and they probably don't want to be disturbed," Son Gohan replied seriously.

Being a Saiyan, such an intense battle would definitely make his blood boil, but reason told him to restrain himself and not let the desire for battle cloud his mind.

Hearing Son Gohan's words, Talot nodded with great satisfaction.

It had to be said that Son Gohan was very mature, stable, and knew his limits, not acting recklessly.

If he could continue like this, his future achievements would be limitless.

Continuing to look up at the battle in the sky, Talot was also anticipating who between Son Goku and Vegeta would unleash their true power first.
