Dragon Ball: My power level has been maxed out!

Vegeta's foot was still on the debris of the probe, which was embedded in the soil.

Dodoria stared wide-eyed at the pile of broken shells on the ground, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly.

"What are you doing, Vegeta!" Dodoria cried out, his voice rising as he pointed a finger at Vegeta. "Why did you destroy the scouter? Are you crazy?"

"I don't need this anymore." Vegeta chuckled softly, crossed his arms, and raised his chin even higher.

"What?" Dodoria's brows furrowed deeply. "Aren't you going to collect all the Dragon Balls? Without a detector, how do you know the location of Lord Frieza and the Namekians?"

"Unfortunately." Vegeta's lips curled into a bright smile, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes. "When I arrived on Earth, I learned that the people there could determine the strength and location of their opponents without using detectors. The Saiyans living on Earth have this ability, so I can do it too."

Dodoriya fell silent, his face looking somewhat grim, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

"Once you master the technique, it's easy to learn," Vegeta continued, lowering his hands from his chest to his sides. "Like Frieza, we only focus on energy, which is far from enough. I used to be like that too!"

"I understand now." Dodoria suddenly realized, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists tightly, he said in a deep voice, "That little guy I was chasing just now was an Earthling!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Vegeta's face twice.

"Have you joined forces with them?"

"Join forces?" Vegeta scoffed, his lips curling into a sneer, his gaze like a knife scraping across Dodoria's face. "How is that possible?"

"And one more thing," Dodoria asked, raising an eyebrow slightly, "There's one guy in that group with a combat power of 6. You should have seen him, right? Is he from Earth?"

Vegeta's face darkened, and a vein throbbed on his forehead.

That bastard, he always brings up the very thing he shouldn't have said.

He was referring to the Namekian named Piccolo.

We, the mighty Saiyans, a race of warriors, can't even defeat a Namekian.

Vegeta's fists clenched involuntarily, his nails digging into his palms.

This is so infuriating!

"Putting aside the fact that you betrayed Lord Frieza..." Dodoria tried to calm himself down, took a deep breath, his chest heaving, and asked coldly, "Aren't you also wrong, Vegeta?"

"Oh?" Vegeta sneered, tilting his head with a hint of mockery in his eyes. "What did you say? Did you say I was wrong?"

"I...I was just saying it offhand." Dodoria panicked, waving her hands frantically, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. "I don't want to worry about that now, you just need to get out of here! If you don't want to die...I've decided to let you go now, you should be thanking me!"

"Hmph!" Vegeta's laughter widened, a dangerous grin spreading across his face. "Dodoria, what are you afraid of? Why haven't you dared to attack me? I see, you've already detected my power level using your sniffer, haven't you?"

"The readings are inaccurate!" Dodoria shouted, raising his voice as if to bolster his courage. "The detector must be malfunctioning!"

"And that guy you mentioned with a power level of 6," Vegeta chuckled, slightly raising his chin, "was that also a malfunctioning sensor?"

"You are not allowed to laugh so contemptuously!" Dodoria roared in fury amidst her terror, her chest heaving violently.

A tremendous amount of energy immediately surged from his body, flames erupting from within, and golden light danced across his surface. The shockwave sent pebbles flying and tumbling in all directions.

"Boom!"

Dodoria pushed his hands forward, palms facing outward, and a powerful burst of energy shot out from his palms, bright white, and quickly covered Vegeta's location.

The energy tore through the air, producing a sharp, piercing sound.

Suddenly, a massive explosion occurred where Vegeta was standing.

Flames shot into the sky, smoke billowed, and pebbles flew in all directions.

The ground was blasted into a deep crater, with charred black soil swirling around it.

Fearing his attacks would be ineffective, Dodoria unleashed almost all of his energy, repeatedly pushing forward with both hands and hurling energy blasts at Vegeta.

One after another, orbs of light fell like raindrops, accompanied by a continuous series of booming explosions.

A huge cloud of dust rose up at the scene, obscuring the sky and making it impossible to see anything.

However, just as Dodoria was releasing its energy to its fullest extent...

"Dodoria." Vegeta's voice rang out behind Dodoria, not loud, but every word was clear. "It's not that I underestimate you, but this move won't work on me!"

Dodoria was horrified; his pupils contracted sharply, and the hairs on the back of his head stood on end.

He quickly turned around and threw a punch at Vegeta, the punch carrying a burst of energy.

Vegeta gently raised his hand, his five fingers spread, and caught Dodoria's attacking fist.

The palm gripped the fist, remaining completely still.

Dodoria kicked again, his foot sweeping towards Vegeta's waist with a whooshing sound.

Vegeta leaped slightly, tapping his toes in mid-air, and sprang upwards, dodging the opponent's attack.

At the same time, he reached out with both hands, grabbed Dodoria's other arm, and twisted it behind his back.

"ah--"

Dodoria let out a piercing scream that echoed across the empty plain. He grimaced in pain, his face contorted, and cold sweat streamed down his temples.

"Hahaha!" Vegeta laughed maniacally, his laughter filled with barely suppressed glee. "We Saiyans grow stronger with each battle! The stronger the opponent, the stronger we become!"

His arm tightened, bending Dodoria's arm to an impossible angle, the joints cracking.

"For years, Frieza kept me in an unchallenging galaxy, preventing me from improving my fighting power! But I nearly died on Earth, which boosted my energy considerably! I've finally rediscovered the thrill of being a Saiyan, the warrior race!"

"You, you, you..." Dodoria screamed, his voice trembling, his eyes filled with terror.

"Dodoria," Vegeta's voice turned cold, his lips curling downwards, "Be a good person in your next life!"

With that, Vegeta exerted force in his hands, intending to completely annihilate Dodoria.

"Wait! Vegeta!" Dodoria cried out urgently, his voice urgent, veins bulging on his forehead. "If you let me go, I'll tell you a secret! A secret about your Planet Vegeta!"

"What?" Vegeta was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowed, and he released his grip on Dodoria.
