The saibamen stood up and let out a scream as it lunged at Yamcha.

Its claws were sharp, measuring 10 cm in length, and incredibly fast. With just a few strides, it covered dozens of meters. It was headed straight for Yamcha, claws ready to tear through the air and mercilessly strike its target.

Hey!

The sound of its swift movement echoed, and the claws sliced through the air. The saibamen lunged forward, expecting to tear its enemy apart. But to its surprise, Yamcha vanished in an instant!

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind it, launching a flying kick that landed squarely on its head.

The kick carried tremendous force, causing the saibamen to spin in the air three times. After being violently thrown off, it slid across the ground for ten meters before finally coming to a halt.

"Worthless!" Vegeta fumed, extending two fingers. With a "snap," he obliterated the saibamen, reducing it to pieces.

Nappa couldn't help but sweat nervously as he watched.

"I told you to attack with all your might, didn't I? Pay attention!" Vegeta scolded and pointed to another saibamen. "Next time, don't disappoint me."

The fearful saibamen he pointed at reluctantly stepped forward, trembling with fear.

Yamcha smirked, and Krillin clapped his hands. "These monsters are no match for us."

"Really? Then I'll knock it down faster than you!"

"Haha, let's see."

"Alright, here I go!" Krillin jumped to the front, assuming a fighting stance.

The saibamen locked eyes with Krillin, a bright glint flashing in its gaze.

Hey!

The two of them vanished before everyone's eyes!

"Ah... they're gone," Gohan exclaimed in surprise.

"You're supposed to keenly sense their ki! Haven't I taught you that?" Piccolo chided.

Gohan suddenly felt embarrassed, attempting to sense their energy during their high-speed movement. Suddenly, he felt a surge of joy. "I saw it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the saibamen crashed into the ground, slumping weakly and unable to stand.

"Worthless!" Vegeta attacked once more, dealing with the dying saibamen. "In just a moment, this guy's power level increased to over two thousand!" Vegeta's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Raditz.

He noticed the dramatic change in the power levels of the two Earthlings and began to suspect Raditz. He realized that Raditz's power level of 1800 might not be his true strength. Could it be that Raditz is actually capable of challenging him?

Vegeta was astounded and decided to observe further by sending the next opponent.

This time it was Tien Shinhan's turn. With two losses under their belt, the morale of the saibamen's plummeted, and even felt a hint of fear from Tien Shinhan.

"Go!" Vegeta urged.

The saibamen feared Vegeta even more and reluctantly charged forward, unleashing all their power. Tien Shinhan stood firm without evading.

As the claws descended, the saibamen rejoiced, but then they felt something was off. Their claws passed through... Tien Shinhan in front of them was merely an afterimage!

After taking two steps back, they noticed that there were over a dozen Tien Shinhan's surrounding them, all produced by his high-speed movement. They couldn't discern which one was the real body, leaving them dazed and sweating profusely.

"Huh? This guys power level is 1150, while the saibamen have a full power level of 1200. How is this possible?" Nappa became anxious. He pressed the detector forcefully, but Tien Shinhan's power level displayed on the screen remained at 1150.

Despite a difference of 50 power levels, Tien Shinhan was able to defeat the saibamen like this!

"Nappa, don't trust the readings of the detectors. They can manipulate their power levels at will," Vegeta finally concluded, wearing a troubled expression.

On the field, Tien Shinhan launched an attack, merging the multiple images into one. His heavy fists struck the saibamen's abdomen, causing its body to crumble, sinking inwards.

"Haha, another victory!"

"That was too easy." Tien Shinhan turned around, raised his arm, and gave a thumbs-up to his companion. Behind him, the defeated saibamen slumped to the ground with a "Thud."

"So, who's next? Krillin or Gohan?"

...

Vegeta and Naba watched as the others cheered and celebrated, completely disregarding them. They inexplicably felt humiliated. They were supposed to be in control, playing with the Earth warriors as they pleased. But now, they found themselves at the mercy of the others, deciding the order of the next contestants. Wasn't it their invasion of Earth? Shouldn't they be shown some respect?

Yet the Earth warriors continued to surround Gohan, cheering for him, oblivious to the Saiyans' expressions.

The saibamen glanced at each other, unsure of what to do.

"It's your turn to send the next one!" Vegeta couldn't help but shout.

Krillin laughed heartily, and amid the commotion, Vegeta's voice was quickly drowned out. People still ignored him. Only Raditz cast a glance at Vegeta, whose mouth twitched slightly, his patience reaching its limit.

Finally, Gohan appeared. His short figure rolled through the air a few times before landing steadily.

The saibamen knew their opponent had arrived and one of them attacked without hesitation. However, they could see that this time their opponents seemed less formidable than before.

After experiencing numerous simulations and his first real battle, Gohan, now brimming with Saiyan instinct, felt great pressure. But facing the saibamen, Gohan mustered courage and calmed his heart.

Feel the Ki... feel the Ki...

He focused on his techniques in his mind.

Suddenly, a flash of light caught his attention—the saibamen's movement! It was coming from the front!

Gohan felt a surge of excitement as white energy erupted from his hands. More than a dozen energy waves, in the form of dazzling arcs and white rainbows, shot out from different angles.

Radiant light, booming noises reverberating through the wilderness—the saibamen was caught in the ki bomb.

At that moment, the power level displayed on the detector skyrocketed. Nappa also noticed the fluctuating number, his face turning pale.

2800!

A mere child possessed such a high power level!

The saibamen struggled against the onslaught of the Ki bombs but continued charging forward, smoke billowing and dust swirling in the air. Yet they turned into white bones under the relentless bombardment of energy. The remaining saibamen staggered forward, drained of strength, taking a few steps before crumbling apart.

"Is he a child of Kakarot?! Saibamen, press on!"

Vegeta seethed with anger, feeling a sudden sense of foreboding.

There was no more time to waste; they had to act swiftly.

"Nappa, finish him off!"
