"Shall we continue, Prince Vegeta?" Rez smiled, his grin incredibly bright.
He was still blindfolded, yet he turned accurately toward Vegeta's direction.
"How... how on earth did you do that?" Vegeta asked, his voice stuttering slightly as he stared with wide eyes, his gaze filled with resentment and confusion.
"Just clear your mind, let your body become one with nature, and let it sense the danger from the outside world. That's all," Rez explained simply in a flat tone.
"What kind of nonsense training method is that?" Vegeta frowned and snorted indignantly. "A skill like yours is useless for anything but dodging; it can't even deal damage to an opponent!"
"I'm not just good at dodging!" Rez chuckled.
"If you have the guts, face me head-on!" Vegeta shouted, resorting to reverse psychology.
"Alright, then I'll face you head-on this time," Rez nodded.
"You said it, I hope you don't regret it!" The corners of Vegeta's mouth curled into a slight smirk, a hint of craftiness flashing in his eyes.
"Come on!" Rez gestured to Vegeta once more.
Vegeta no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath, mobilizing all the remaining energy in his body.
His aura surged again, and he lunged toward Rez like a cannonball, throwing a powerful punch at him.
This punch condensed all his strength; the wind from the fist whistled with an intimidating momentum.
Watching Vegeta's incoming fist.
Although Rez couldn't see, he could clearly perceive the trajectory of the punch in his senses.
With just a slight tilt of his body, he dodged it effortlessly.
"Slap!"
In the next instant, Rez swung his palm, striking the back of Vegeta's neck.
The strike seemed casual, yet it was incredibly precise, with just the right amount of force.
Vegeta's pupils constricted sharply, and his mind went blank instantly.
"Thud!"
Vegeta fell headfirst to the ground, his eyes rolling back as he passed out on the spot.
The entire Training Room fell so silent that a pin drop could be heard.
"Oh, sorry, I accidentally used a bit too much force," Rez smiled sheepishly, his tone carrying a hint of apology.
After chuckling, Rez noticed Vegeta wasn't responding, lying motionless on the ground, so he ripped off the blindfold.
"Uh... did he faint?" Rez scratched his head, looking at the unconscious Vegeta on the ground with some embarrassment.
Raditz, Nappa, and the others were all dumbfounded, staring at Rez and the unconscious Vegeta in shock, their jaws nearly hitting the floor.
That was Prince Vegeta!
Prince Vegeta, with a power level of 15,000!
Just like that, knocked out by a single slap?
"How about this, you guys all come at me together," Rez said to Raditz, Nappa, and the others, an eager smile on his face.
The corners of Raditz, Nappa, and the other three's mouths twitched simultaneously. They hurriedly waved their hands in panic, shaking their heads like rattles.
"All of us go at once?"
"Are you joking?"
"Your power level is so high; even if we combined ours, we wouldn't reach yours."
"Wouldn't going up there just be asking for a beating?"
"Uh... Rez... let's just forget it," Nappa waved his hand and said hurriedly, taking a step back.
"Yeah... you're so strong... even if we team up, we can't beat you," Raditz nodded in agreement, a chill running down his spine as he remembered Vegeta's miserable state just now.
"Even Prince Vegeta is no match for you... our power levels are just too low," Carnegie added, shrinking his neck.
"It's fine, I'll blindfold myself and I won't fight back!" Rez smiled, wrapping the cloth around his eyes again with clean, swift movements.
Raditz and the others were speechless, looking at each other.
"You were blindfolded just now when you easily defeated Prince Vegeta."
"We'd still just be looking for a beating!"
"Tell you what, whoever hits me gets 10,000 universe coins," Rez said, pulling out a blue coin from his pocket and tossing it in his hand.
The blue coin glinted with a faint blue luster under the light, stamped with the symbol and denomination of the Universal Currency.
This blue coin was equivalent to 10,000 universe coins.
10,000 coins—it wasn't exactly a fortune, but it wasn't a small amount either.
It was roughly equivalent to what 10,000 yuan could buy in Rez's previous life.
Generally speaking, the support staff on Planet Vegeta earned a monthly salary of at most 3,000 universe coins.
Combatants needed to make significant contributions to earn higher bonuses.
Now, as long as they hit Rez, they could get 10,000 universe coins; Raditz and the others were very tempted.
Their eyes all fell on the coin in Rez's hand, sparkling with a light of desire.
"Are you sure you won't fight back?" Raditz rubbed his hands together, eager to try, his earlier fear somewhat diluted by the money.
"Right, I definitely won't fight back," Rez nodded slightly. "All of you, come at me together."
Raditz, Nappa, and the others looked at each other, then at the blue coin in Rez's hand, and nodded one after another.
Under a heavy reward, there will surely be brave men.
Besides, it was just landing one hit, not a life-or-death struggle.
Then, Kuri stepped forward, carried the unconscious Vegeta out of the Training Room, and placed him on a seat in the hallway to rest against the wall.
In the next moment, Raditz, Nappa, Carnegie, Kuri, and Baru—all five of them—surrounded Rez and took up their combat stances.
The five of them spread out, surrounding Rez from different angles, their gazes focused and tense.
"We're starting, Rez!" Raditz said, taking a deep breath and getting ready.
"Come on!" Rez nodded, relaxing his body and entering the Mushin state once again.
The five of them rushed forward, launching fierce attacks on Rez from various angles.
Raditz attacked from the front, Nappa from the right, Carnegie from the left, while Kuri and Baru circled to the rear. All five struck simultaneously, their punches and kicks falling like raindrops.
Rez simply used the movement techniques of Ultra Instinct to deftly dodge all of Raditz and the others' attacks.
His body was like a swimming fish, weaving effortlessly through the five-man encirclement.
Sometimes sidestepping, sometimes ducking, sometimes jumping—every movement perfectly avoided the attacks, as if he could predict the landing point of every punch and kick.
However, Rez's Ultra Instinct hadn't even reached the entry level yet.
Plus, Raditz and the others were too many.
There were five of them in total!
And attacking from different angles indeed made it a bit difficult for Rez to dodge everything.
About a minute passed.
"Smack!"
Raditz spotted a gap and landed a punch on Rez's shoulder.
"I hit him!"
Raditz was overjoyed, but before he could celebrate...
"Ow..."
In the next instant, Raditz let out a scream of pain. It felt as if his knuckles were about to fracture, and his entire arm went numb.
