Dragon Ball: Being able to revive means you're courting death? How naive!

Chapter 148 Piccolo's Change

Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu exchanged glances, their eyes full of anticipation. Yamcha scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Lord Kai, we'd like to see if we've improved during this time. Could we have a match?"

King Kai stroked his chin and frowned slightly: "It's possible, but there are three of you, so the battle distribution won't be easy to manage."

Just then, Piccolo, who had been sitting silently to the side, stood up and slowly walked over, a determined look in his eyes: "I want to start training too, let me join."

King Kai's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Great! Perfect, you can fight each other in pairs."

Piccolo smirked, a disdainful sneer playing on his lips. He crossed his arms and arrogantly declared, "I don't need to fight them one-on-one. With their skill level, I can easily handle all three of them by myself. Let them come at me all at once."

Tien Shinhan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. His brows furrowed, his fists clenched, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. He spoke first, saying, "Piccolo, you're too arrogant. Do you really think we're afraid of you?"

Yamcha's face flushed red, and the veins on his neck bulged as he shouted angrily, "That's right! Today we're going to teach you a lesson and show you what we're made of!"

Dumpling, standing to the side with anger burning in her small eyes, chimed in, "That's right, let's show him what we're capable of!"

Seeing the tense atmosphere, King Kai shook his head helplessly, stepped aside, and said, "Since that's the case, then you can begin, but stop when you've made your point."

Piccolo stood in the center of the arena, his cold gaze sweeping over the three opponents, radiating a powerful aura. Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu quickly assumed their fighting stances, their eyes fixed on Piccolo, and a fierce battle was about to erupt.

As soon as the four clashed, Piccolo keenly noticed that Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu were much faster than before, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Could this be the result of King Kai's training?" This change caught Piccolo off guard. Chiaotzu flashed and quickly circled behind Piccolo, sticking close to him and restricting his movements.

Tien Shinhan and Yamcha seized the opportunity and launched a swift attack on Piccolo from both sides. Piccolo's eyes sharpened, and he immediately became serious. His hands moved rapidly, unleashing a series of powerful attacks that instantly sent Tien Shinhan and Yamcha flying, averting the immediate crisis.

Immediately afterward, Bick's gaze locked onto something behind him, his right hand suddenly lengthened, he grabbed Dumpling, pulled him out from behind, and slammed him hard into the ground. Dumpling fell headfirst into the soil and lay motionless.

Seeing this, Tianjin Fan looked anxious and shouted, "Dumpling, are you alright?"

King Kai crossed his arms and said leisurely, "You are all dead, you only retain the ability to feel pain."

As soon as the words were spoken, Dumpling slowly floated out of the ground, dusting itself off. Seeing that Dumpling was unharmed, Yamcha and Tien Shinhan immediately perked up, rubbing their hands together and shouting in unison, "Again!"

Piccolo snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Hmph, a bunch of trash, you think you can defeat me?" With that, Piccolo removed the ornaments on his head, the weights on his clothes, as well as his cloak and turban, preparing for a full-scale battle.

Just as the group was poised to strike again, King Kai suddenly shouted, "It's time to rest! Stop and rest!"

Tien Shinhan and Yamcha, their faces filled with urgency, shouted in unison, "We don't want to rest, King Kai! We yearn to continue training! Please give us your special training!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the King of the Realms' eyes, then he smiled and joked, "Oh, so you're all so eager to come? Alright then, come with me."

Upon hearing this, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu immediately followed King Kai without hesitation. Piccolo, seeing this, paused slightly, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face. After a moment, as if he had made some great decision, he also followed at a leisurely pace.

During the fight just now, Piccolo truly felt the increase in the strength of the three, and thought to himself, "The King Kai's training method is indeed quite effective." With that thought, he quickened his pace to catch up with the others.

King Kai caught a glimpse of Piccolo's actions out of the corner of his eye, and a subtle smile of satisfaction appeared on his lips. He thought to himself, "These guys have finally gotten the hang of it."

……

In the dimly lit medical bay of Frieza's base on Namek, a doctor stood by, coldly watching Vegeta, who was barely breathing inside the treatment pod. A mocking sneer curled at the corner of his lips as he muttered to himself, "Hmph, General Vegeta, although you're half-dead now, your vital signs are extremely weak, you'd better get better quickly. Although I know that once you recover, King Frieza will still mercilessly eliminate you, if you die now, and King Frieza takes his anger out on me, then my life will be completely over."

Just then, the treatment chamber suddenly erupted with an extremely bright light without warning. Immediately afterward, a surging shockwave, like a wild beast unleashed, hurtled straight towards the doctor. The doctor's eyes widened in horror, and before he could react, he was instantly engulfed by this powerful force and died on the spot.

Vegeta slowly emerged from behind the hatch shattered by the shockwave, glanced coldly at the doctor's corpse at his feet, a cruel smile playing on his lips, before stomping hard on the doctor's head.

Having done all this, Vegeta's lips curled into a cold, ruthless smile. He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing forward, and powerful energy rapidly gathered in his palm. With a flash of light, he thrust it forward, sending a sharp energy wave straight towards the wall. In an instant, the wall collapsed under the impact of this powerful force, sending debris flying and dust billowing, revealing a huge hole that exposed the outside world. Sunlight streamed through the hole, illuminating Vegeta's cold, stern face.

……

In the spacious hall deep within the base, Frieza sat upright on a massive chair, radiating a chilling aura of oppression. At that moment, Sabo hurriedly entered the hall, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said, "Lord Frieza, Vegeta has been found. He is currently healing, and it seems his injuries are progressing smoothly. He should be fully recovered soon."

Frieza's cold gaze lingered on Sabo for a moment, then he nodded slightly, a glint of unfathomable light flashing in his eyes, making it difficult to discern his true thoughts about Vegeta. The entire hall fell into a deathly silence, like the calm before a storm.

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly erupted without warning, and the entire base trembled violently.

Frieza turned to Sabo and asked, "What's going on?"

Sabo, his face filled with terror and his voice trembling, replied, "Oh...it sounded like an explosion coming from the treatment room! Oh no, it must be Vegeta!"

Frieza shouted, "Sabo, hurry up and get over there!"
