Vegeta launched a relentless and overwhelming assault on Talot. Every attack carried astonishing destructive power; even experts of the same level would have to treat them with caution. But to Talot, attacks of this caliber were hardly worth mentioning.
Talot effortlessly blocked Vegeta’s punches and kicks, perfectly neutralizing every move he threw at him.
His playful side awakened, and Talot had no intention of ending the battle quickly. Instead, he engaged Vegeta in a prolonged exchange, matching him blow for blow.
The two figures flickered in and out of sight, darting through the sky like auroras.
Vegeta’s attacks were swift as thunder, deadly and ferocious, while Talot’s defense was completely airtight, without the slightest flaw.
One attacked, the other defended, and the sparks born from their clashes were exceptionally intense.
In the span of just one minute, the two had already exchanged hundreds of moves.
Talot had completely seen through Vegeta’s fighting style and figured out exactly where his limits lay.
Vegeta, on the other hand, was pushing beyond his limits with every burst of speed and strength, causing his stamina to drain at an alarming rate.
Gradually, the speed and explosiveness of his attacks began to weaken. Though every strike remained fierce, flaws appeared everywhere, allowing Talot to easily seize upon the openings and counterattack.
Whenever Vegeta moved at high speed, Talot was always one step faster.
His attacks could not break Talot’s defense.
His defense could not withstand Talot’s offense.
In all aspects, Vegeta was falling deeper and deeper into disadvantage.
But as the proud Saiyan Prince, Vegeta would never admit defeat. His dignity and arrogance compelled him to persist to the very end, even if it cost him his life.
Bang!! Boom!!! Two explosive blasts rang out in succession.
Talot and Vegeta entered a deadlock high in the sky. Their fingers were interlocked as they pushed their strength against one another. The collision of their auras, generated purely through a contest of raw power, caused the very space around the Lookout to tremble violently.
Vegeta roared continuously as his power kept rising. His aura erupted more and more intensely as the battle continued. Under the pressure brought by Talot and driven by his own pride, his latent potential was being forcefully released.
“Forcefully releasing your own potential isn’t necessarily a good thing,” Talot kindly warned Vegeta.
He could clearly see what Vegeta was doing.
To engage in a higher-level battle against him, Vegeta was recklessly overdrawing his own body in exchange for greater power.
After all, he had already trained for two years inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Most of his accumulated potential had already been released. This kind of forced overexertion would cause tremendous harm to his future.
His training progress from now on would likely become exceedingly difficult.
“I don’t need you to remind me! My choices are mine to make, and I’ll bear all the consequences myself!!” Vegeta shouted loudly. The dense lightning surrounding his body exploded all at once. Suddenly exerting force, he swung his arms and forcibly pushed Talot back.
Seizing the opportunity, Vegeta gathered energy in both hands. In the next instant, he rapidly swung his arms, unleashing an endless barrage of energy blasts that poured toward Talot like a torrential storm.
Faced with the airtight bombardment of countless energy blasts, Talot remained expressionless. A sharp glint flashed through his eyes as an invisible power of space was released with a single thought.
Rumble~~~!!! Every energy blast was crushed instantly by the power of space. The deafening shockwaves tore through the sky and shook the heavens in all directions.
Boundless flames spread across the sky, forming an incomparably thick wall of fire that separated Talot and Vegeta.
But this result was obviously not one Vegeta was willing to accept.
Ignoring the consumption of his own energy, he erupted with power once more and charged forward. Advancing without hesitation, he broke through the flames of the explosion and once again engaged Talot in close-quarters combat.
“Your mind is unsettled, Vegeta.” With a single sentence, Talot began taking the initiative to attack.
Activating his invisible power of space, he vanished from his original position like a beam of light.
“What?!” Talot’s sudden disappearance caught Vegeta completely off guard.
The next moment, an icy chill ran down his back. Without time to think, he quickly turned around and assumed a defensive stance.
Boom~~!!! A tremendous explosion rang out.
Vegeta was struck by an overwhelming force and blasted over a thousand meters away.
The searing pain in his arms twisted his expression into a grimace, but it further stimulated his Saiyan bloodline.
“Big Bang Attack!” Enduring the pain in his arms, Vegeta condensed an energy sphere at top speed and fired it toward Talot.
However, Talot paid it no mind. With a casual swipe, he shattered the incoming Big Bang Attack, then rapidly dashed in front of Vegeta and threw a punch.
Bang~!!! The heavy blow landed squarely on Vegeta’s face.
Unable to withstand the force, Vegeta was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
Talot had already held back with that punch. Otherwise, a casual strike from him would have been enough to completely defeat Vegeta.
Even so, Vegeta did not have it easy. Talot’s punch had nearly scattered his consciousness and made him lose himself.
The real show was only just beginning.
No longer intending to toy around, Talot’s figure darted through space like a ghost, his attacks swift and fierce. Every strike inflicted severe injuries upon Vegeta.
Bang! Bang! Bang!… A series of dull impacts echoed one after another.
Talot’s punches were exceptionally heavy, and every attack subjected Vegeta to immense pain.
Fortunately, Vegeta in his peak Super Saiyan 2 state possessed extraordinary durability. Relying on his exceptional physique and indomitable willpower, he forcefully endured Talot’s first round of punches and kicks.
At this moment, Vegeta maintained a defensive stance. The surface of his battle armor, his clothes, and even his muscles had caved inward, with scorching white steam rising from them.
All of it was the handiwork of Talot’s attacks.
“You endured it? Looks like you’re even tougher than I thought. But this is also your limit. Do you still want to continue, Vegeta?” Talot did not rush to attack again. Instead, he wanted to see Vegeta’s choice.
From their previous exchanges, he had already sensed Vegeta’s heart.
Vegeta wanted to obtain more from him, not only Super Saiyan 3, but even Super Saiyan 4 and the powers he had yet to learn about.
His desire for power had reached its absolute peak.
“Huff… huff…” Vegeta did his best to regulate his breathing. After casually wiping the sweat from his face, his eyes suddenly became resolute.
He said nothing, but his actions conveyed his decision to Talot.
