When Vegeta truly began to show his strength, the situation immediately reversed.
"Whoosh!"
Vegeta threw a punch, stirring the surrounding air.
The Wudang Seven Heroes standing not far away suddenly felt a tremendous pressure pressing toward them, shocking their expressions.
Even if they still had their internal energy, they would not have been able to resist it at their peak.
The gap was simply too great!
One could imagine the immense pressure their master, Zhang Sanfeng, was facing at this moment.
When Vegeta's punch arrived, Zhang Sanfeng's momentum instantly rose to its peak. His eyes burned brightly, and his expression became extremely solemn.
To deal with Vegeta, Zhang Sanfeng had to use all of his strength!
Grabbing Vegeta's wrist quickly, Zhang Sanfeng once again employed the profound Taijiquan principle of "four ounces deflecting a thousand pounds."
However, the moment Zhang Sanfeng seized Vegeta's wrist, a terrifying force surged forward, causing Zhang Sanfeng's expression to change drastically.
This power was astonishing—far greater than the strength Vegeta had used earlier.
Zhang Sanfeng tried his best to redirect the force, but he still could not stop it.
Vegeta's fist pushed forward without obstruction and slammed directly into Zhang Sanfeng's right shoulder.
"Bang!"
In an instant,
Zhang Sanfeng's body was sent flying backward.
In the face of absolute power, no matter how exquisite the technique was, the gap could not be overcome.
"Master!"
The Wudang Seven Heroes cried out and rushed forward toward Zhang Sanfeng.
After landing, Zhang Sanfeng's face turned red, his aura sharply declined, and his entire body seemed to age instantly.
Clearly, he had suffered a heavy injury.
The enemy had broken his proud Taijiquan with a single punch—overpowering it through sheer strength.
This made Zhang Sanfeng realize that the gap between them was far too great.
Even he could not bridge it.
Seeing Zhang Sanfeng's condition, the Wudang Seven Heroes were shocked.
"Master…" Song Yuanqiao hesitated, his face filled with concern.
"Old man, your martial arts are decent, but unfortunately your strength is too weak!"
Vegeta stood high above them, looking down coldly at Zhang Sanfeng and the others.
In Vegeta's beliefs, the weak deserved neither sympathy nor mercy.
Zhang Cuishan stood up, glaring at Vegeta as he sternly demanded,
"Who are you people, and why are you attacking us?"
"The weak are not qualified to know the reason!"
Vegeta snorted coldly.
"If you don't have someone stronger to fight me, then prepare to die!"
The moment his words fell,
Vegeta immediately rushed forward.
"Run!"
A trace of determination flashed through Zhang Sanfeng's eyes as he suddenly leaped up and stood in front of his disciples.
He intended to sacrifice himself to buy time for them to escape.
"Shura, there seems to be a fight over there!"
Aurora suddenly stopped.
Fenric had naturally already heard the sounds of fighting and screams coming from that direction.
They were cries of despair—voices from people dying.
Aurora looked at Fenric and asked,
"Shura, should we go take a look?"
The others also turned their eyes toward Fenric, waiting for Shura, their leader, to make a decision.
After learning that eliminating other teams granted rewards, everyone had realized that continuing to avoid fights was no longer possible.
Under this reward system, only by constantly eliminating other teams could they continue growing stronger.
If they chose to avoid battles and give up the rewards, their strength would inevitably fall behind other teams by the final confrontation.
Fenric frowned slightly and thought for a moment before making his decision.
"Let's go take a look."
The system had clearly created this reward mechanism precisely to prevent players from simply hiding until the end.
No one was surprised by Fenric's decision, and naturally, no one objected.
Thus, the group moved quickly toward the sound of the battle.
When Fenric passed through the forest and saw Vegeta chasing the Wudang Seven Heroes, his expression suddenly changed!
As a former Dragon Ball fan, he naturally recognized Vegeta immediately.
In the entire Dragon Ball world, Vegeta was an extremely important character. In some ways, he was even more popular and charismatic than the main protagonist, Son Goku.
Goku could sometimes be overly kind and indecisive, often making foolish choices—something fans jokingly called "Ergou Goku."
Vegeta, however, was decisive and never showed mercy to his enemies.
Later, after living on Earth for many years, he gradually changed. His killing intent lessened, and he eventually regarded Earth as his home, protecting both the planet and his family like a true warrior.
Setting aside the protagonist's halo, Vegeta's personality and charm were arguably even more compelling than Goku's.
In his previous life, Fenric himself had also been a fan of Vegeta.
He understood Vegeta's personality and combat strength very well.
Therefore, the moment Fenric recognized Vegeta, his expression immediately changed.
Anyone who had watched Dragon Ball knew just how terrifying Vegeta was.
His strength was deeply etched into people's minds. In later arcs, Vegeta could easily destroy entire planets!
Fenric had never expected to encounter Vegeta here.
There was no way he could mistake him!
Vegeta's arrogant expression and upright, flame-like hairstyle were extremely distinctive.
"It's Vegeta—the Saiyan!"
Aurora quietly moved beside Fenric and hid behind a large tree, her expression extremely serious.
"Shura, be careful. Saiyans are incredibly powerful, and Vegeta is one of their elites."
"He can transform into a Super Saiyan. After transforming, his strength definitely reaches S-rank."
The 23rd floor of the Samsara Tower was the first stage of the Dragon Ball world.
Aurora knew that Fenric had not yet reached the 23rd dungeon and assumed he didn't know Vegeta.
So she explained further.
"Vegeta comes from the Dragon Ball dungeon world. Saiyans are extremely brutal in battle. Once they fight, they never show mercy."
"They fight with their full power—even destroying entire planets."
Fenric nodded.
In truth, he knew Vegeta far better than Aurora did.
"Aurora, do you mean…"
"I don't think it's a good idea to become enemies with the Saiyans right now."
Aurora spoke in a serious tone, her eyes never leaving the murderous Vegeta.
Fenric also felt that now was not the right time to clash with Vegeta and the others.
Even though he suspected that Vegeta was also restricted and unable to transform into a Super Saiyan, he still did not want to fight him.
Even in their base form, Saiyans were extremely powerful.
Once the battle escalated and bloodshed began, Fenric might be able to protect himself—but what about the rest of his teammates?
Everyone trusted him completely and followed his commands.
Fenric felt responsible for bringing everyone back alive.
