Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Chapter 10 Encounter

Before Raditz could answer his question, Bardock and Gine burst into laughter.

This is not meant to mock or satirize, but rather to express that Raditz's performance was quite endearing.

Meanwhile, Bardock and Gine were also laughing at Talot.

Talott has always acted too maturely, and they've gotten used to thinking it's normal.

Only after Raditz reminded them did they realize what was happening.

Five-year-old Talot acted like an adult, teasing Raditz, and suddenly he seemed like a precocious little devil.

Because of the laughter, the atmosphere completely changed.

Talott seemed to realize something and laughed out loud, and Raditz was also infected by the laughter.

For a time, laughter and cheers filled the air.

After the meal, Gine cleaned up the mess, while Bardock went to take a bath, leaving Raditz and Talot staring at each other.

"Let me see how much fighting power you have now, Talot." Since his parents were both around, Raditz wasn't in a hurry to find out.

Now that dinner is over, he thought it would be a good time to see how strong Talot was in combat and stretch his muscles.

"I'm also quite curious about your combat strength." Although Talot could roughly judge Raditz's combat strength based on the intensity of his aura, the accuracy of that judgment was still questionable.

Both sides activated their combat capability detectors.

As the beeping sound rang out, two numerical values ​​quickly appeared on the mirrors of both detectors.

Raditz was pleased that Talot's fighting ability was finally starting to improve.

"I knew you were born with the same combat strength as me, so you wouldn't fall behind. Now you've finally caught up! However, you're still far behind me, so you need to work even harder."

"I asked you to come with me last time, you should have accepted. That way, your combat power would have increased to at least 400 points."

Raditz's slightly arrogant words caused Talot to experience a peculiar emotional fluctuation.

It must be said that although Raditz is quite arrogant now, he does indeed consider his family in his words and actions.

This made Talot feel incredibly ashamed.

They weren't really family, but they genuinely cared about him.

On the contrary, he was greatly influenced by the original plot, to the point that he never even considered whether to take him along, and from that moment on, he began to change the plot.

After a moment of confusion, Talot suddenly came to his senses.

Feeling sentimental is one thing, but now is not the time to think about these things.

"I'm different from you. Just like Uncle Bardock said, even though we're both high-ranking warriors, you have your path to follow, and I have mine." Talot stated his decision in a simple sentence, while changing the subject, "Your combat power has reached 550 points. You must have gone through a lot of training these past few months."

"It's alright! I'm not the only one following Prince Vegeta. If I don't work hard to show special talent, I'll definitely be looked down upon." Raditz's blunt words revealed that his life wasn't actually that easy.

However, he should be enjoying it now, since his limited perspective has restricted his imagination, making him feel that Saiyans must be loyal to their king!

Prince Vegeta is the future king, and Raditz's current goal is to become stronger so that he can become Vegeta's right-hand man.

"Striving to become stronger is a good thing, but never easily change your original intention. You are surrounded by a group of elites; you should understand that," Talot thought for a moment and still reminded him.

Any intelligent life form is often very prone to wavering when it is still immature.

Even adults change as their environment and various other factors change.

"Do you even need to tell me? Of course I know!"

"How about it? Interested in a fight? I won't bully you, I'll just fight against someone with similar fighting strength, like an after-dinner workout."

Raditz doesn't seem to be that scheming, and he appears to be quite confident in himself.

"Want to fight? I don't mind." Talot didn't refuse.

I've always trained on my own. Although I occasionally simulate and imagine some opponents to fight, I don't actually have many opportunities for real combat.

Regardless, he lived in the circle of lower-ranking soldiers, and they dared not attack him casually.

Besides, he's still young, and adults wouldn't fight him.

"Let's go then, we can't really unleash our full potential here." Raditz chuckled and stood up.

Talot nodded and followed closely behind him.

The two spoke to Gine again, and only after receiving her permission did they leave the house and come to the open space outside.

The Saiyan population was already small, and although there were nearly two thousand lower-ranking warriors living in this area, it still seemed sparsely populated compared to the vast land.

"Come on! Talot, come at me!" Facing Talot, Raditz stood with his hands on his hips, showing no intention of defense or attack.

This guy genuinely felt there was a huge gap in their abilities, so he didn't need to take it seriously at all.

Indeed, there is a world of difference between 360 combat power and 550 combat power.

At this level of strength, let alone a difference of one or two hundred combat power, even a difference of only twenty or thirty points, or thirty or fifty points, is enough to easily defeat the opponent.

"Then you'd better be careful." Talot didn't hesitate, controlling his power at the 360-point node.

He didn't care about winning or losing in this battle; he just wanted to test his fighting skills and physical reflexes against Raditz.

It doesn't matter if he has to admit defeat or pretend to be defeated in the end.

Charging head-on, Talot transformed into several afterimages, covering a distance of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.

A powerful punch was thrown at Raditz.

Faced with such a fast attack, Raditz did not panic. He easily raised his hand and blocked Talott's fist.

He then threw a backhand punch at Talot.

The attack was blocked, and Talot clenched his other fist and threw a punch.

BOOM!!!

A muffled thud rang out as two small fists collided, and Raditz and Talot began to wrestle.

"Not bad, you're quite strong! But you're still far behind me." Raditz's smiling face had a slightly mischievous feel to it no matter how you looked at it.

Talot was already used to his attitude: "Is that so? Fighting isn't just about strength."

Without any intention of using more force, Talot used the force exerted by Raditz to retreat, looking for an opportunity.

Upon seeing this, Raditz immediately launched a violent attack with his fists and feet.

The sheer force of the attack sent a chill down Talot's spine.

Fortunately, I wasn't just wasting time. Even without practical combat experience, I had memories from a past life and rich imagination that brought me meditative combat experience.
