Dragon Ball: Starting with a power level increase of 1 per second

Chapter 191 Unleashed! Vegeta Battles the Mysterious Son Gohan

Seeing that Piccolo's potential development was complete, Vegeta, without waiting for Old Kai to call out, used his Flying Technique to leap to Old Kai's side without hesitation.

"Come on! It's my turn last! You'd better give it your all, or else, hmph!!!" The prince's arrogance, combined with his current impatient mood, made Vegeta feel like he was looking down on everyone.

He wasn't afraid that the old King of the Realm might secretly give him a trick up his sleeve.

Of course, Old Kaio would never do such a thing; he wouldn't care about someone like Vegeta.

However, if Lin Chuan hadn't asked him to help, someone like Vegeta wouldn't have unlocked his potential.

"You'd better keep a calm mind and emotions, otherwise if anything goes wrong during the development of your potential, I won't be able to save you." Old Kaioshin narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining Vegeta.

In a verbal exchange, Old Kaioshin, being an old monster who has lived for so many years, certainly knew how to deal with Vegeta.

He could see what kind of person Vegeta was through his eyes.

Clearly, Vegeta was deflated after listening to Old Kai's words.

Even if you're angry, you have to hold it in and force yourself to clear your mind and calm down.

……

that's it.

Vegeta's potential development ceremony went smoothly, taking about the same amount of time as Piccolo's, and also similar to Krillin and Tien Shinhan's, all around three hours.

"Alright, your potential has been fully developed." With the final development of his potential complete, the Old Kai-Oh God breathed a sigh of relief.

He had exhausted so much energy in one go and persevered for so long. If he hadn't been consolidating his divine power during this time, he probably would have given up long ago.

Of course, it was also thanks to Lin Chuan's assistance; otherwise, with his divine power, he wouldn't have been able to accomplish such a great feat in one go.

Developing potential is no joke; it takes a tremendous amount of time and energy.

If we're developing some small gadgets, it'll only take a few minutes, at most an hour, how long will it take in total?

This six times in a row is practically killing him.

Right after the Old Kaioshin left with the prophet, Vegeta stood up and unleashed all his power in his normal state, as the Old Kaioshin was no longer in his way.

Boom!

In an instant, the white flames tinged with a faint purple transformed into a massive tornado, sweeping across the land.

This destructive aura shook the entire Realm of the Supreme Kai, and even crossed dimensions to reach the lower universes.

"This level of strength? It's pretty much what I expected. Hmph! Although it didn't quite meet my expectations, it's not bad either." Vegeta clenched his fists, in a fairly good mood.

At least, with his current strength, he's not bad! He's no weaker than Gohan!

Piccolo, standing not far away with his arms crossed, assessed Vegeta's explosive power after sensing it: "Even without transforming into a Super Saiyan, Vegeta, after unlocking his potential, can reach this level. Before unlocking his potential, he would need to be at least Super Saiyan 2 to have this kind of power."

"As expected, Saiyans are still too monstrous... Vegeta's power increased more than a hundredfold after he unlocked his potential." Krillin said, his face full of sweat and lingering fear.

"It seems we underestimated him too much. With his strength, even without transforming, he is still far beyond what we can do now." Tien Shinhan was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

He wasn't resentful that Saiyans could transform; he was resentful that even without transforming, his strength was inferior to theirs.

"There's no need to belittle yourself! Vegeta only improved by one minor level. After you guys unlocked your potential, you directly jumped two levels! And with my abilities, you improved significantly! So what I said at the beginning was right. If Vegeta were your equal in strength, his normal improvement would be far less than yours." Lin Chuan crossed his arms and analyzed.

He also learned from the system's prompts what value Vegeta's combat power index had reached after developing his potential.

[Target: Vegeta.]

[Combat Power Index: 1500]

Before his potential was fully realized, Vegeta's power level was around 25. A month ago, when he fought Broly, Vegeta's power level was only 10. After the battle with Broly, it increased to 25, but he hasn't improved since.

After developing their potential abilities, their combat power increased by several dozen times, but less than a hundred times.

With Vegeta's current fighting power, he's almost comparable to the fused warrior Vegito XENO, and might even be able to defeat him.

……

Raising his hand and clenching his fist, Vegeta couldn't resist testing his normal fighting power before finally suppressing his fierce aura.

[Hmph! That old guy's potential development is somewhat useful. Now, it's time to find someone to test just how powerful I am now.] Vegeta felt a surge of fighting intent.

His gaze swept over the people present.

Lin Chuan was completely ignored by him because he had some self-awareness and knew that he was no match for him.

Even if Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu's strength increases, they are still far from being his match.

Ultimately, with his current strength, he could kill them with a mere breath, so why would he have the will to fight?

In the end, only the piccolo remained.

Before his potential was fully realized, Piccolo's skill level was roughly the same as his.

Now that both of them have unlocked their potential, we'll only know who is stronger after they fight.

However, this time Vegeta was more interested in Gohan than Piccolo.

This is a good opportunity to see just how strong Son Gohan can become after his potential is fully developed.

The feelings from before were still lingering in his mind; he had to break free from them himself.

Straightening his posture, Vegeta looked directly at Gohan.

This situation undoubtedly conveys a sense of fighting spirit.

Even a fool could see it.

"Let me see your current power, Gohan." Vegeta's deep voice, carrying an unparalleled aura, resounded, putting pressure on Gohan.

"Uncle Vegeta." Sensing Vegeta's fervent fighting spirit, Gohan's mouth opened slightly.

Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Piccolo say, "Let's have a fight, Gohan. If you don't engage in actual combat after your strength increases, your power might regress."

Upon hearing this, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and Gyoza all nodded in agreement.

They are all veterans, and they understand this principle better than anyone.

In the path of cultivation, one either progresses or regresses; this is one point.

Secondly, if one does not consolidate or engage in combat after increasing their strength, then that strength will ultimately be nothing more than a facade.

"Since Vegeta wants to fight, then let him fight properly! If he doesn't even dare to face Vegeta, how can he become stronger?" Lin Chuan also gave Gohan a piece of advice.

To be honest, at this point, Gohan's strength was absolutely comparable to Gohan's awakening during the Tournament of Power in the original manga.

To make Gohan stronger, there's one thing we must teach him: to have his own opinions and fight with purpose.

Instead of simply improving strength and becoming complacent.

"Yes, I understand." Son Gohan nodded, finding a new belief in his elder's words. His face no longer showed any hesitation, but instead revealed a confident smile.

With his aura released and his mysterious demeanor revealed, he seemed to have made further progress in his strength.

Most people wouldn't notice it, but Lin Chuan and Piccolo did.

[Target: Son Gohan]

[Combat Power Index: 10 Gai (Note: Initial stage of Mysterious State: 1000x increase, Combat Power Index: 1 Zi)]

Once you understand your true nature, your strength will double!

Most importantly, the initial thousand-fold increase under the mysterious form would give him the strength of an eighth-dimensional being.

The impact of their auras caused two invisible pressures to expand, canceling out Vegeta's aura.

Gohan's strength has completely surpassed that of his father Goku and his uncle Raditz at this time.

Boom!

Faced with Gohan's powerful aura, Vegeta did not hesitate to increase the pressure.

The storm created by the collision of their energies swept in all directions before quickly dissipating.

Vegeta's interest was fully piqued, and a playful glint flashed in his eyes.

Son Gohan stepped forward, rubbing his hands together as he went.

As the battle was about to begin, Old Kaioshin, East Kaioshin Shin, and Kibito all came to Lin Chuan's side seeking protection.

"Unleash the power of that form directly, without holding back! Learn in battle, improve in battle, your potential should be even greater!" As the battle was about to begin, Lin Chuan thought of the evaluation of Son Gohan in the original work, and thus encouraged Son Gohan as if testing him.

"Do I have even greater potential? To improve in battle? Yes!!!" Encouraged and affirmed by Lin Chuan, Son Gohan felt immense satisfaction and became even more excited.

In an instant, the aura within him erupted, and his terrifying power was released without restraint, causing his strength to surge.

Although it was in a mysterious form, it did not unleash its true eighth-dimensional power.

Their combat experience and ability to utilize power are far from adequate.

After his outburst, Gohan took the lead, stomping his legs to shatter the ground beneath his feet, and charged towards Vegeta at an incredibly terrifying speed, unleashing a sharp punch.

Vegeta's eyes sharpened, and he instinctively clenched his fists in front of him.

A loud bang!

Even though Vegeta was on guard, Gohan's power was so great that, without transforming into a Super Saiyan, he was overturned and blasted away by this terrifying force.

Having barely managed to stabilize his flying body, Vegeta hadn't even had time to react when Gohan surged forward again, delivering another punch straight at his face.

This time, Vegeta didn't hesitate. He activated the Super Saiyan energy pool within him, skillfully dodging Gohan's heavy punch, and launched a counterattack at that moment.

Prince unleashed his fighting style, unleashing a rapid barrage of fierce punches and kicks aimed at Son Gohan.

Despite Vegeta's counterattack, Gohan handled it with ease, even managing to cope with it effortlessly.

The two sides are currently far too mismatched in strength.

Even though Vegeta mobilized the Super Saiyan energy pool, he still couldn't suppress Gohan without actually transforming.

After deflecting Vegeta's punches and kicks more than ten times, Gohan unleashed his power to seize the initiative. The boost from his Mystic State brought his power level to 8000!

The powerful punch sent Vegeta flying.

The pressure increased, and Vegeta frowned slightly.

Unexpectedly, under normal power levels, he was far inferior to Son Gohan.

Vegeta hadn't realized that Gohan wasn't in his normal state at this moment.

"Haaaaaaahh ...

Two muffled thuds followed in quick succession.

Gohan's fists were firmly blocked by Vegeta.

"What?!" Gohan's heart trembled as his fists were locked. He tried to pull them back, but Vegeta's powerful strength prevented him from doing so.

What about Vegeta?

He held back no longer; the black rocket shot into the sky, launching automatically without wind, and faintly flashed with golden light.

As golden energy swept around his body, his strength rapidly increased.

"Not bad, but you still need to train, kid!!" Vegeta grinned and unleashed an unstoppable blow to Gohan's abdomen.

"Pfft!!!" A heavy punch pierced his abdomen, and Gohan spat out acidic liquid, flying backward uncontrollably.

The difference in strength between the two sides was actually not that great when Vegeta mobilized his Super Saiyan energy pool.

Even after unlocking his potential, Gohan still lags significantly behind Vegeta.

The difference lies in the Super Saiyan transformation.

Vegeta's full power could even reach the level of the Ninth Dimensional Unit.

With a normal combat power of over a thousand kilos, Vegeta's Super Saiyan 4: Extreme Evil Ascension has a strength of 5 to 10 kilos!

The realm of a quasi-destroyer god.

Even though Vegeta in his normal state is indeed inferior to Mystic Gohan.

With a powerful punch, Vegeta knocked Gohan back, and once again switched from defense to offense, completely seizing the initiative in the battle.

Son Gohan was relentlessly pressed by the dense Prince's Battle Techniques and could only passively defend.

"Is this Vegeta's power? After he actually attacked, I was completely powerless to resist...!!" Gohan gritted his teeth and tried his best to defend himself.

Vegeta's attacks were incredibly destructive. Even if Gohan managed to defend against them, the impact of his power still made him feel like his body was about to shatter.

"What's wrong, kid? After unlocking your potential, your fighting power shouldn't be limited to this level! Your aura is clearly even stronger!!" Vegeta provoked Gohan with his words, hoping that Gohan could understand the essence of battle.

Son Gohan, that kid, can't fight!

What's the point of fighting a kid who can't even fight?

Upon hearing the provocative words, a glint flashed in Son Gohan's eyes.

He gritted his teeth and seized the opportunity, unleashing all the energy of his mysterious state in an instant, instantly reaching the eighth-dimensional unit of Zi!

A sharp flying kick landed on Vegeta's abdomen, catching him completely off guard.

"Interesting!!" Vegeta, who had been repelled, laughed instead of getting angry.

Not only did his smile become even more intense, but he also mobilized even more of his Super Saiyan Stage 1 energy pool.

I wonder if Gohan can force him to use his current Super Saiyan 1 form.

With his fighting spirit ignited, Vegeta unleashed his power.

The speed of the burst was beyond imagination. Gohan, who had no time to dodge, could only cross his arms to protect his body and take the hit head-on.

Even with his defenses, Vegeta's explosive power was still terrifying.

He felt his body being swept away by an unimaginable force, and he was blasted thousands of meters away.

[So powerful!! And this is without even transforming!]

If what Uncle Lin Chuan said is true, and Uncle Vegeta intended to kill me, then I would have been killed in the blink of an eye.

Having sensed Vegeta's terrifying power, Gohan felt immense pressure.

Stabilizing his body and locking onto Vegeta's position, Gohan unleashed his ki without hesitation and charged towards Vegeta once more.

Now, only by fighting hard can I become stronger.

If you back down or are afraid, you will only lose even more miserably.

"Well done!" Vegeta, whose fighting spirit had been completely ignited, also charged towards Gohan.

Boom! The moment the two collided, the world changed color, explosions erupted one after another, and the divine realm trembled.

An incredibly blinding light burst forth, forcing everyone to instinctively raise their hands to protect their eyes.

Vegeta and Gohan were locked in a fierce battle, their attacks ruthless and each strike possessing the power to destroy a planet.

To others, this seemed like a fight to the death!

But that's not the case. Between Vegeta and Gohan, at least Vegeta was just playing around, while Gohan was gradually drawn in and started fighting more and more enthusiastically.

……

"They were both completely absorbed in their fight, but it has to be said that this battle was a release for Vegeta, and also the best opportunity for Gohan to experience a higher level of combat," Lin Chuan said calmly as an observer.

Having reached such a level of power, the battle between Vegeta and Gohan was nothing more than child's play in his eyes.

Strength, speed, reaction time, techniques, and the use of energy all require further refinement.

"Hey, kid Lin." At this moment, the Old Kaio God suddenly spoke up, which made Lin Chuan slightly surprised.

Turning his gaze to Old Kaioshin, who had his hands behind his back, Lin Chuan asked, "What's wrong, Old Kaioshin?"

"Young Lin, if I'm not mistaken, you've probably reached a bottleneck by now, haven't you?"

"How about I develop your potential again? Although the improvement won't be much, it should help you reach a higher level."

The way the Old King God changed the subject not only surprised Lin Chuan, but also shocked everyone else.

Lin Chuan wanted to accept this kindness, but it wasn't what he wanted.

Lin Chuan smiled calmly: "Instead of watching this rare battle properly, you've been focusing on my situation. Old Kaioshin, developing potential is certainly a good thing, as it can help me break through my current limits, but even if I break through those limits, it will be useless."

"What I need now is a bigger breakthrough, and I need to figure out that breakthrough myself!"

"So, thank you for your kindness, Old Kaiojin."

Lin Chuan politely declined the Old Realm King's suggestion, as he had his own plans for his future.

"Since you have a plan in mind, then I was overthinking it." The Old Kaioshin stroked his chin, his gaze shifting to the intense battle that had already begun in mid-air.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan remained silent and continued to focus his attention on the battle.

After noting down what Lin Chuan said, the others also looked back at the battle.

……

The scene shifts, returning to mid-air.

Faced with the immense pressure from Vegeta's attacks, Gohan was completely put on the defensive and could only defend.

"What's wrong?! Son Gohan, aren't you going to transform into a Super Saiyan?! If you keep fighting me like this, you're bound to lose!" Vegeta urged Son Gohan to transform quickly while launching a powerful attack.

This is what he was most looking forward to.

He was unaware of the details, which led to the awkward situation. In reality, the Gohan before him had already transformed.

"Well, um, I'd like to, but it seems impossible..."

Gohan didn't know how to express himself, but Vegeta, being so clever, immediately guessed two possibilities based on his actions.

"Hmph! Have you forgotten how to transform into a Super Saiyan?! Or is it that your current power comes from abandoning the transformation?!" Vegeta's criticism was utterly straightforward.

This power is obtained by abandoning the original power of the Saiyans.

After settling on this idea, Vegeta then remembered the future Gohan from back then.

"I'm reminded of that transformation again! So, can you transform into that form now?" Vegeta asked again.

Son Gohan shook his head with a wry smile: "Currently, I've only reached the initial stage of the Mystic Form... I don't know how long it will take to achieve that transformation."

Having received the answer, Vegeta's lips twitched slightly, and a teasing smile appeared on his face.

Since he can't reach that level, he'll put even more pressure on him, so that he'll feel the pressure and try to break through.

In an instant, his energy exploded, golden energy burst forth, and he entered Super Saiyan mode.

His combat power increased dramatically, and he directly stepped from the seventh dimension to the eighth dimension.

"Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!!" Three powerful, unstoppable attacks landed squarely on Son Gohan's body.

The terrifying force sent Gohan flying, and Vegeta seized the opportunity to put pressure on Gohan once again.

"Gali-Kuku-Gaku ...

"Damn it! I won't lose like this, Demon Flash!!" Seeing this, Son Gohan endured the excruciating pain and mobilized all his energy to unleash his ultimate attack.

Boom! ...

The drastic change in atmospheric pressure even caused the entire planet to be compressed and deformed.

The golden energy beams collided with the white and purple energy beams, creating a spectacular sight in mid-air.

Gohan and Vegeta, the former has already given it his all, and has even reached his limit.

Vegeta, however, has not yet shown his true abilities.

After all, Vegeta at full power in Super Saiyan 1 has a power level of 12!

Son Gohan only reached 1 oz.

"This battle should end. Although I'm not satisfied, at least you haven't disgraced yourself by fighting me this long despite my attacks." Vegeta suddenly exerted his strength.

The Garic Cannon broke through the Magic Flash's defenses, but Vegeta changed its direction of attack just before it reached Gohan.

Boom!

A massive explosion rocked the sky, a truly terrifying sight.
