Of course, what shocked Vegeta even more was the strength of the young man currently clashing with Frieza!
There was nothing special about his power.
Vegeta couldn't see anything unique about him. He wasn't a member of a powerful cosmic race like the Saiyans. Just from his appearance, he was no different from the humans on ordinary planets, even seeming less remarkable than the Namekians.
Yet, this person had forced Frieza to unleash a form beyond his final transformation!
Frieza's current power was terrifyingly strong. Even from this great distance, Vegeta could feel a horrifying pressure, an aura so dense it was almost suffocating.
But in the scene before him, that young man remained utterly unfazed, seemingly unaffected by the oppressive force.
"Where did that guy come from? How can he be so powerful?" Vegeta's heart was filled with shock and awe.
Frieza's true strength had already exceeded his imagination, but besides Frieza, there actually existed another powerhouse like this!
At this moment, Vegeta suddenly felt a sense of defeat and a surge of panic.
"No, I must gather the Dragon Balls quickly!" Vegeta steeled his resolve.
The reason was simple: no matter who won this battle, it would spell disaster for him!
By sneaking to Namek to search for the Dragon Balls, Vegeta had already betrayed Frieza. Frieza would never forgive him!
Now, Vegeta also recognized Hashirama Senju as the person he had fought earlier.
He remembered Hashirama mentioning someone even stronger behind him.
It was highly likely that this young man was the powerful figure Hashirama had referred to!
In other words, he had offended both sides!
That left him with only two paths forward: either flee this planet immediately and escape to some other corner of the universe,
or find the Dragon Balls, wish for greater power, and thus no longer need to fear these two individuals!
Vegeta was the Prince of the Saiyans. He could not allow himself to run away now!
If he kept running, how could he ever revive the Saiyan race? How could he ever defeat Frieza?!
Find the Dragon Balls!
Vegeta's gaze hardened with determination. Regardless of the battle raging in the sky, he had to find Namek's seven Dragon Balls!
Thus, Vegeta didn't continue hiding in his secluded spot. He swiftly sprang into action.
While searching for clues to the Dragon Balls' whereabouts, he also kept one eye on the live broadcast of the fight.
High in the sky.
Frieza had fully unleashed his final form. The horns on his head had completely vanished, leaving a smooth, pale cranium that gleamed like polished bone.
His true power was now unsealed. Strength continuously surged within him, and his combat power instantly skyrocketed once more.
Frieza clenched his fist, a cold smirk curling on his lips.
His tail swished, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body, causing many people below to turn pale and struggle for breath.
Frieza's expression was cold and sinister as he stared at Lin Xuan. "Hehehe, it's been a long time since I've unleashed my power like this," he said, his voice grating.
"Don't worry, you've gotten me quite excited. I won't kill you too quickly... not until I've had my fun!" Hearing Frieza's voice, Lin Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"With a voice that ugly, maybe just stop talking? If you keep going, I might throw up. I'm starting to think you're not trying to beat me to death, but to bore me to death!" Lin Xuan retorted bluntly.
Frieza: "..."
A vein throbbed at Frieza's temple. He clenched his fists tightly.
No more words were needed. Frieza chose to attack directly.
"Swish!"
Moving at high speed, his figure abruptly appeared behind Lin Xuan before the echo of his voice had even faded.
"Multiple Death Beams!"
Purple beams shot from his hands, slicing rapidly towards Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan's expression remained calm. He condensed a sphere of crackling energy in his hand.
"Lightning Release: Super Great Ball Rasengan!"
"Boom!"
Instantly, their battle erupted once more.
Both combatants possessed immense power, and their clash once again shook heaven and earth, as if the sky itself might collapse.
The Great Elder watched, his heart pounding with fear.
Would they end up destroying Namek before their fight was even over?
Meanwhile, Rin Nohara watched the battle on the live feed, various expressions flickering across her face.
Since she couldn't clearly see the fight high above, she could only follow the process through the broadcast.
Watching Lin Xuan battle Frieza filled her with astonishment.
Especially when she saw Lin Xuan employing various familiar ninjutsu, clashing with Frieza's obviously devastating attacks without falling behind in the slightest.
This made Rin exclaim in admiration, "The Guild Leader is amazing! I never imagined ninjutsu could display such formidable power. It's almost hard to believe!"
Beside her, Obito Uchiha heard this and quickly explained with a smile, "That's actually easy to understand. The reason the Guild Leader's ninjutsu is so powerful is because his own strength is immense!"
"Ninjutsu, in the end, is just a method to channel one's own power. The stronger the user, the greater the potency. For example, the Great Fireball Technique I use now is naturally much more powerful than before, because I'm stronger than I was!"
"Also, ninjutsu have ranks because powerful techniques allow one to utilize their strength more fully. There's a huge difference in power between the Great Fireball Technique and the Great Fire Annihilation, for instance."
Kakashi Hatake, who was nearby, also chimed in, "Obito is right. Ninjutsu is ultimately just a means to wield power. So the strength of a technique depends on the user's true power, their mastery, and their application of it."
"Furthermore, Guild Leader Lin Xuan has modified some ninjutsu, even integrating this world's usage of 'ki,' so the power has naturally increased significantly."
