Chapter 297: Vegeta – I Am the Speed Saiyan!

At this moment, Chen Ye was stunned.

He never expected that his opponent in the fifth round would be Speed Tragic-ta... no, Vegeta?

Even though this Saiyan prince had always been overshadowed by Goku in the original story, there was no denying his immense talent and strength.

Placing him in the fifth round was definitely unexpected.

'Judging by his appearance, he looks just like he did when he first invaded Earth, which means he hasn't awakened as a Super Saiyan yet...'

The Vegeta in front of him looked young and arrogant, wearing the same battle armor from his initial invasion of Earth.

To be honest...

Even if this was first-stage Super Saiyan Vegeta, Chen Ye wasn't afraid!

Though he had never fought a Super Saiyan before, judging by their performance, Chen Ye was confident that he could hold his own!

And if he couldn't?

He could just surrender at any time.

With his current defense, could a first-stage Super Saiyan really one-shot him?

As for the energy waves from Super Saiyans supposedly being able to destroy planets effortlessly...

In the Dragon Ball universe, blowing up a planet wasn't a valid measure of strength. Even Master Roshi in the first series could destroy the moon with a Kamehameha.

Super Saiyans' energy blasts may explode dramatically on the ground, but their actual destructive power was questionable. Sometimes they seemed weaker than a nuclear explosion, yet somehow, they could still blow up planets.

Maybe...

The planets in Dragon Ball were just naturally weak?

Could it be that simply punching into the planet's core was enough to destroy it?

If that was the case, then given enough time, Chen Ye could punch through a planet too—just by repeatedly hammering the same spot into the ground...

Another thing that baffled Chen Ye was how Goku, with his insanely durable Saiyan body, could die from a heart disease.

(Of course, the inconsistencies in Dragon Ball's logic have been widely debated, so let's just roll with the setting of this novel!)

Just as Chen Ye was lost in thought...

Vegeta suddenly moved.

He glanced at Chen Ye and pressed a button on the scouter over his left eye.

"Beep... beep..."

The device locked onto Chen Ye, analyzing his combat power.

The final result?

A battle power of... 5!

Saiyan scouters measured strength based on a being's internal "Ki," and since Chen Ye had none, the device only picked up an ordinary human's level.

"Hmm? A weakling with a battle power of just 5? And I have to personally deal with this trash? What a waste of time!"

Vegeta scoffed as he raised his right hand toward Chen Ye.

A "Battle Power 5" weakling didn't even deserve to fight him!

"Pop!"

A small energy blast, about the size of an egg, shot from Vegeta's palm, flying toward Chen Ye like a bullet.

Chen Ye blinked in mild surprise.

His powerful mental senses didn't detect even the slightest threat from the attack.

Still, he tilted his body slightly to the side, dodging Vegeta's energy blast.

His clothes had already been damaged earlier while testing his defense against Ghidorah's lightning.

If he got hit again, he might end up naked in the arena.

As a refined gentleman, Young Master Chen preferred to keep his dignity intact.

"Boom!"

The energy blast narrowly missed Chen Ye, striking a distant wall and exploding.

The explosion packed quite a punch—comparable to a handheld rocket launcher.

But strangely...

The blast left no marks on the wall at all.

"Hmm?"

Vegeta was momentarily surprised to see Chen Ye dodge so easily.

But he didn't dwell on it.

The next moment—

"Pop! Pop! Pop!"

Vegeta fired over a dozen energy blasts in rapid succession, sending them toward Chen Ye from multiple angles.

In Vegeta's mind, Chen Ye must have gotten lucky dodging the first shot.

This time, with over ten blasts attacking from all directions, there was no way this "Battle Power 5" weakling could survive!

However...

Something unbelievable happened.

As the barrage of energy blasts shot toward him, Chen Ye simply raised his right hand and swatted the air with a casual slap.

"Whoosh!"

A powerful gust of wind swept through the battlefield.

Vegeta's energy blasts were instantly blown away.

Some exploded mid-air, while others veered off course and detonated upon impact with the ground, leaving small craters.

For a moment, the arena was filled with the continuous roar of explosions.

Meanwhile...

At the exact moment Chen Ye waved his hand, Vegeta's scouter, still attached to his left eye, started beeping frantically.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

A number suddenly appeared on the screen.

2823!

Seeing this battle power reading, Vegeta paused for a moment.

"I see... so you're just a brute relying on raw strength?"

A savage grin spread across Vegeta's face.

Then, he clenched his fists and assumed his battle stance.

But before he could make a move—

The bald man in front of him suddenly threw a punch.

"Whoosh!"

The air tore apart!

The force of the punch ripped through space itself, producing a terrifying sound like the roar of a vengeful ghost.

At that instant, Vegeta's scouter's reading skyrocketed—three digits, four digits, five digits...

Then, with a loud bang, the scouter exploded!

At the same time, Vegeta's vision went black.

His feet left the ground, and his entire body shot backward like a cannonball, crashing into the far wall of the arena.

When Vegeta finally regained his senses, the arrogance on his face had completely vanished, replaced by sheer disbelief.

That bald man...

Had just sent the proud Saiyan prince flying with nothing but the wind from his punch?!

At this moment, Chen Ye was also a little surprised.

Because aside from some damage to Vegeta's battle armor, his body was completely unharmed.

To be clear, that punch wasn't just for show—he had used 70% of his strength.

Even just the shockwave from that punch should have been enough to cause serious damage.

After all, Kaido had been torn apart by the sheer force of his fist's wind pressure.

Saiyan bodies were truly a mystery...

Then...

Chen Ye suddenly grinned.

High defense was a great thing!

This meant he could go all out and properly test his current strength!

"You damn bastard!"

Vegeta's expression turned furious.

"You've completely pissed me off!"

With a roar, Vegeta's energy erupted violently, forming a white aura that surged around his body.

Chen Ye's punch had finally made him realize—this bald warrior was a serious opponent!

The entire arena began trembling under Vegeta's rising power.

Even the furniture in the viewing areas—tables, sofas—everything started shaking.

The spectators were horrified!

They couldn't believe that someone's sheer presence alone could cause such destruction!

How terrifying was this short Saiyan's real strength?!

Among them, Li Wushen's face showed a hint of fear.

Unlike most spectators, he had mastered "Ki" and was the only one capable of truly sensing Vegeta's energy.

And at this moment, the energy surging from Vegeta's body...

Was terrifying beyond words.
