On Earth.
It has been three months since Talot left.
In the mountainous region of the 439 East District, where Mount Paozu is located.
Raditz and Salari were engaged in their third monthly battle.
As Saiyans, they are born to fight, constantly challenging themselves, pushing beyond their limits, and growing stronger.
Especially with Talot as their predecessor and guide, they refuse to fall behind and have been striving to catch up.
Training, fighting, and breaking through have become the most important parts of their lives.
‘Boom!! Bang!! Boom!! Bang!!…’
The thunderous sounds of their physical clashes echoed endlessly.
Powerful shockwaves rippled through the mountains, sending rocks flying and thick smoke billowing. Countless trees were severed by the aftershocks, and innumerable creatures fled the area.
A supersonic hand-to-hand combat posed no difficulty for Raditz and Salari.
The battle between the two was incredibly thrilling, with one attacking and the other defending, one chasing and the other striking, constantly maneuvering and circling.
They were evenly matched, with neither gaining the slightest advantage.
Of course, this was just a warm-up. Neither Salari nor Raditz had gone all out yet, instead testing each other and trying to gain the upper hand through combat skills.
After more than a dozen exchanges, a mischievous smile flashed across Salari’s face. She suddenly unleashed her power, her formidable aura surging from her body like a torrent. With unstoppable force, she delivered a ruthless kick.
“Attacking sneakily! Salari, you’re learning more and more dirty tricks.” Sensing the sudden increase in destructive power of Salari, Raditz didn’t have time to think. He crossed his arms in front of him to block.
‘Boom!!!!!!’
An overwhelmingly brutal force exploded against Raditz’s arms. In the next second, he couldn’t withstand the impact and was sent flying dozens of meters away.
“Ugh~! That hurts. So, you’re getting serious now?” Raditz hissed, feeling the pain in his arms. He was slightly annoyed.
Even though she’s a girl, her strength is immense. He almost couldn’t block that kick.
How does Talot even stand her?
In his mind, women should be like his mother.
Of course, Raditz would never know that Gine was once also quite strong-willed. It’s just that over the years, her temperament has changed; she has grown accustomed to life on Earth, and has grown kinder and gentler.
“Why are you still so weak?! Can’t even handle this little bit of power? The warm-up isn’t even over yet. How about something more exciting?!” Salari grinned confidently, exuding a wild beauty and a carefree aura.
In the next moment, a white aura erupted from her body.
Her powerful aura flared, instantly forming a Ki field. From the intensity of this aura, it was clear that Salari’s power level had reached at least 50,000.
Although this was far from her full strength, it was evident that she was now serious.
“You think I’m scared of you? Don’t think you can defeat me so easily this time! I’m not the same as before! My strength has made a huge breakthrough!” Raditz’s expression gradually turned serious as a powerful energy surged within him, erupting from his body like a volcano.
Only when his aura reached a level comparable to Salari’s did Raditz stop unleashing his power.
He also stopped at 50,000!
Over the past three months, Raditz had been training relentlessly; his sense of responsibility pushing him beyond his limits.
Their auras were now evenly matched, and they faced each other once more. Salari’s lips curled slightly, and in the next moment, she took the initiative to attack Raditz.
Facing Salari’s aggressive assault, Raditz didn’t back down and met her head-on.
‘Boom~~!!!!’ Their collision caused the ground to shake for miles around.
Salari and Raditz grappled once again, the impacts of their clashes stimulating the Saiyan blood within them, further igniting their fighting spirit.
Gradually, the two completely immersed themselves in the battle. Their strikes grew more powerful, and their speed increased exponentially.
The intensity of the fight had reached a whole new level.
This fierce battle happened to be witnessed by Talot, who had just returned.
Hovering in the sky outside the combat zone, Talot watched with great interest.
“A good show as soon as I return? Perfect timing to see how much you two have improved over the past three months.” In no hurry to reveal himself, Talot moved to an optimal vantage point and quietly observed the fight.
He decided to wait until they finished before making an appearance. With his current level of strength, he could easily assess their progress.
…
Above the dense forest.
The battle between Salari and Raditz grew increasingly intense. The two were evenly matched, their speed reaching a level where even beings with a power level of 30,000 to 40,000 would struggle to follow them with the naked eye.
They darted through the air at breakneck speeds, colliding repeatedly.
On the surface, it seemed neither had the upper hand, and the fight was in perfect equilibrium. However, only the combatants themselves knew the true state of their condition.
Of course, aside from them, only those with absolutely overwhelming strength could discern the gap from a god-like perspective.
Salari was deliberately holding back her full strength, which was why Raditz could keep up with her in this state.
If Salari were to unleash her full power, Raditz would be forced into a purely defensive position, with no chance to counterattack.
As the battle heated up, both Raditz and Salari became fully immersed in the fight. A simple hand-to-hand spar was no longer enough to satisfy them.
‘Boom!!!!!!’
Another powerful collision occurred.
The force of the impact was mutual, and both Raditz and Salari were pushed back by the recoil, creating distance between them.
They exchanged a glance, immediately understanding the message in each other’s eyes.
“Be careful. I’m getting serious now.” Salari spread her arms, her aura swirling rapidly as immense energy gathered in the palms of her hands.
As the energy reached a certain threshold, Salari clasped her hands together, forming a golden energy sphere crackling with arcs of lightning.
The energy continued to compress, and its destructive power surged exponentially.
“Hmph! Bring it on.” Raditz snorted lightly, raising his right hand toward Salari.
Energy continuously accumulated as Raditz grasped his right wrist with his left hand, compressing the energy.
A dense concentration of energy gathered in the palm of his right hand, and soon, a purple energy sphere surrounded by lightning sparks took shape.
This was his strongest ultimate technique at the moment. Against Salari, especially when she was serious, he couldn’t afford to slack off in the slightest.
A single misstep, and he would be instantly defeated.
“Go!”
At Salari’s shout, the terrifying energy she had gathered shot forth from her palms.
A golden energy beam, accompanied by terrifying lightning, erupted with devastating force, hurtling toward Raditz.
Raditz’s ultimate technique was also unleashed at this moment. A purple energy beam, resembling a roaring dragon, collided head-on with the golden energy beam.
‘Boom!!!!!’ The moment the energies collided, the ground shook, and the air pressure changed dramatically.
Countless boulders and broken trees were lifted into the air, only to be swiftly crushed into dust by the shockwaves generated from the collision.
Raditz and Salari’s ultimate techniques remained in a temporary equilibrium, neither able to overpower the other.
However, this balance was short-lived. As Salari exerted more force, the equilibrium was shattered.
The sudden increase in pressure forced Raditz back, and his ultimate technique began to visibly retreat at a rapid pace.
“Damn it!! This pressure… it’s as overwhelming as ever… But I won’t be defeated so easily this time! Let me show you the results of my training!!” Raditz gritted his teeth, his muscles tensing, veins bulging on his forehead as his aura surged wildly.
At this moment, his power level exceeded 50,000, reaching 55,000!
‘Boom!!!!’ The output of his energy increased dramatically, pushing Salari’s ultimate technique back.
“You actually pushed my attack back? You’ve really gotten stronger during this time. But I’ve also made a significant breakthrough… so your breakthrough still isn’t enough!” A confident smile spread across Salari’s face as she unleashed even greater power.
Salari’s power level had long surpassed 60,000, now reaching 65,000.
Even though Raditz had reached 55,000, there was still a gap of 10,000 power level between them.
Pushing her power level to the 60,000 mark, Salari once again shifted the tide of the battle.
The destructive force of the energy beam she unleashed increased dramatically, quickly overwhelming Raditz’s energy beam.
“What?!!” Raditz’s eyes widened in shock as his ultimate technique was effortlessly pushed back once more.
