"Is it over...?" Talot gazed at Ragar, who lay motionless several hundred meters away, waiting for his next move.
Just like that, it's over?
Obviously not!
The purpose of this battle between him and Ragar was to help Ragar break through his limits, to see how far he could go.
"As expected, you didn't let me down." Seeing Ragar stand up, Talot smiled and once again got ready for battle.
"I'm not someone who goes down so easily. I finally got the chance to fight you. If I couldn't even handle this much, it'd be way too embarrassing." Ragar stood up, stretching and loosening his joints.
The pain turned into fighting spirit. A white energy swirled around Ragar, and a tremendous power surged endlessly from within him. His aura kept rising, and his power level rapidly increased once again.
"Another increase? As expected, you were hiding a lot. Your power level jumped straight to 40 million this time," Talot exclaimed, seeing the change in numbers on his virtual glasses.
"Let's keep going, Talot!" Ragar shouted with high fighting spirit, not responding to the comment about hiding his power.
The next second, he charged at full speed, dashing toward Talot like a white flash of light, swinging his fist.
Boom!!!! A deep thud rang out.
Talot raised his hand and blocked Ragar's punch, skillfully dispersing the force behind it at the same time.
"It's not over yet!" Ragar smirked slightly, and in a split second, channeled energy within his body to the tip of his fist, and detonated it.
Boom!!!! Energy exploded at the tip of his punch, and the massive destructive force sent Talot staggering backward.
Not giving Talot a moment to breathe, Ragar launched another fierce attack, rapidly unleashing a powerful energy beam at Talot.
Staring at the approaching energy beam, Talot made no move to dodge. A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.
A formless power burst out from Talot's eyes, striking the incoming energy beam head-on.
In the blink of an eye, the beam shattered into fragments and dissipated into particles of energy floating in the surrounding space.
"He neutralized it just with his eyes?! That's just like you, Talot!" Ragar, who witnessed this scene firsthand, showed a brief change in expression, but his eyes were quickly overtaken by an even stronger fighting will.
In the very next moment, Ragar suddenly sensed danger. On instinct, he crossed his arms in front of his body, and right then, Talot appeared before him, swinging a fist imbued with overwhelming destructive force, landing it squarely on Ragar's crossed arms.
Boom!!!! A sound like air splitting echoed out.
Ragar felt an incomparable force sweep through his entire body, sending him hurtling uncontrollably into the sky. He only stabilized himself after soaring over a hundred meters into the air.
Hiss~! Feeling the intense pain radiating from his arms, Ragar couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
As his mind trembled, Talot locked onto Ragar's position below, leapt into the air, and shot toward him like a cannonball.
"Come on! This kind of battle is what makes it meaningful!" Ragar showed no fear, his aura erupting as he charged straight at Talot.
Their fists, shrouded in white aura flames, contained overwhelming power and clashed continuously.
Boom!! Boom!!! Boom!!!...
The fierce battle erupted once again.
Each clash of fists and kicks unleashed shockwaves that rippled through the air, with deafening booms echoing nonstop.
Talot and Ragar weaved through the air at speeds beyond what the naked eye could follow, colliding rapidly again and again.
The intensity of the battle escalated further, warping the space above. Blinding white flashes lit up different parts of the sky.
Outside the battlefield, Nail, the Grand Elder, and Young Piccolo all watched in awe.
Their eyes couldn't keep up with the fight, and even their Ki Sense struggled to track their movements.
"So fast... I can't keep up at all... The level Brother Talot and Brother Ragar have reached is completely beyond my imagination," Nail said.
Watching Talot and Ragar's battle, he felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness, and felt ashamed of his inferiority.
[After receiving that inheritance, have you unknowingly grown this strong? In the end, the peace of Namek limited you. If you had wandered the universe, encountered more opponents, or stayed by Talot's side, your future would have been even more unfathomable.] Grand Elder watched the earth-shaking battle in the sky, deep in thought.
If the time was right, he would even hope that Ragar could leave Namek with Talot to train. That would only benefit Ragar's future with no downsides.
Beside him, the Young Piccolo observed the battle, his heart filled with yearning.
At the same time, due to the intensifying battle between Talot and Ragar, all the Namekians across Planet Namek turned their attention in their direction. In fact, many Namekians had already begun rushing to the scene.
Of course, it wasn't to deal with the danger. In the eyes of the Namekians, Talot was a friend. They had come merely to watch the fight.
...
In midair.
The hand-to-hand combat between Talot and Ragar became increasingly fierce.
A continuous exchange of techniques and the powerful collisions of fists and kicks; every clash was enough to cause ripples across space itself.
Yet, neither of them had revealed their full strength.
BOOM!!!!!!! A thunderous explosion shook the air.
Talot and Ragar clashed with powerful punches, and both were forced back simultaneously, flying dozens of meters in opposite directions.
After stabilizing themselves, they stood in the void, their sharp eyes locked onto each other once more.
Talot nodded silently, acknowledging Ragar's strength. Meanwhile, Ragar, after experiencing Talot's power, had an endless fighting spirit blazing in his eyes.
During their earlier exchanges, Talot could feel that Ragar was still holding back. Mere 40 million power level wasn't his limit.
To be honest, even Talot found Ragar's current strength unbelievable.
Truly worthy of being a Warrior-type Namekian. He had become this strong entirely through training on his own, without any external influences.
If he were to be stimulated by outside forces, or guided in the right direction, Ragar's achievements would certainly go far beyond this.
And Ragar? After sparring with Talot, he had gained a new insight.
In his excited state, every cell in his body had been activated. It felt like he had an inexhaustible supply of energy.
Finally experiencing the joy of battle, Ragar was deeply immersed in it, unable to pull himself out.
He had yearned for this kind of all-out battle for far too long.
Suppressing the aggression within him, Ragar regained some clarity.
"The probing should be over. I know your strength is far more than this, so my goal from the beginning has been to force you to transform," Ragar said seriously.
"Is that so? Then give it a try," Talot replied with a smile, without a hint of modesty.
Ragar said no more. His expression gradually turned fierce, and a golden flash glinted in his eyes.
With a deep roar erupting from his mouth, a torrent of energy surged from within. White aura flames rose from his feet, engulfing his entire body like a raging inferno.
Ragar's energy continued to rise, undergoing a qualitative transformation. Powerful currents surged around his body, unleashing countless arcs of electricity.
This ever-expanding power shook the entire Namek. His aura kept pushing past its limits, and the terrifying pressure grew stronger by the second.
Although there was no visible change in Ragar's appearance, the aura radiating from him was noticeably denser and more powerful than before. The battle-oriented genes of a Warrior-type Namekian were in full bloom, endlessly enhancing his strength.
At full power, Ragar's power level stabilized at 60 million.
And it seemed there was still room for growth.
Through this battle with Talot, Ragar had perfectly mastered the strength he had trained over the years.
Now, he could fight freely and with complete control.
"That aura is incredibly strong, and its release is very steady. Is this your full strength? Truly impressive..." Talot's eyes studied Ragar. Vaguely, he sensed that an even greater power was slumbering within Ragar's body.
This power was unique. Talot had never seen anything like it before. And Ragar likely hadn't noticed it himself.
But one thing was certain: once unleashed, this power would elevate Ragar's strength dramatically, possibly even a dimension-leaping surge into the hundreds of millions.
"As you can see, this is my full strength. Shouldn't you show me a bit of your real power too?" Ragar said with a confident smile to Talot. "Or... are you saying you still don't need to transform to deal with me?"
