Nappa was bald. He had no hair whatsoever, so when he transformed into a Super Saiyan, the only thing that changed was that his eyebrows turned golden. The result looked rather... ridiculous.
Then there was Raditz.
He could also transform into a Super Saiyan now, and his battle power had reached 300 million.
However, Raditz's Super Saiyan transformation looked completely different from Nappa's.
Nappa had no hair at all, whereas Raditz's hair reached all the way down to his lower back. When Raditz transformed into a Super Saiyan, he gave off the impression that he had already entered the Super Saiyan 3 state.
Among the three of them, Raditz was undoubtedly the most intimidating when they transformed into Super Saiyans.
Of course, most of that intimidation came from his ridiculously long hair.
Whis struggled to hold back his laughter.
"Gran, your two Saiyan companions have some really interesting transformations."
"Tell me about it. One of them turns into a Super Saiyan and looks like a walking light bulb, while the other looks like he's already in Super Saiyan 3. Those two idiots are seriously killing me!"
Gran had also noticed Nappa and Raditz's Super Saiyan forms, and he couldn't help bursting into laughter.
Soon, the scene projected above them changed again.
The moment Vegeta emerged from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he was immediately attacked by Son Gohan.
Facing Gohan's assault, Vegeta was as arrogant as ever. After all, he had also spent an additional two years training inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
There was no way he believed Son Gohan could possibly be stronger than him!
However...
After exchanging blows with Gohan, Vegeta's expression instantly became ugly.
In his Super Saiyan 1 state, Vegeta possessed only 1.8 billion battle power.
Son Gohan, on the other hand, possessed 2.5 billion in Super Saiyan 1.
Faced with Gohan's attacks, Vegeta immediately fell into a disadvantageous position.
Seeing this, Gran stopped laughing and clicked his tongue.
"Vegeta is still way too arrogant. He has absolutely no idea just how terrifying Son Gohan's potential is!"
Whis shook his head.
"Actually, Vegeta's talent is quite impressive as well. He has never had a great master guiding him and has always trained by himself."
"Even so..."
"Compared to Son Goku, he's only weaker in certain aspects of martial arts. When it comes to actual combat skills, he's no worse than Son Goku."
"In other words, Son Goku is a true martial artist, while Vegeta is a warrior born for battle!"
"..."
Listening to Whis's assessment of Vegeta, Gran might not have liked the guy very much, but he had to admit that Vegeta was indeed formidable.
Especially during his fight with Son Gohan.
Although Vegeta had clearly been suppressed, he hadn't been completely crushed. He could still counterattack from time to time.
That alone demonstrated just how terrifying Vegeta's combat instincts were.
"Hm?"
Gran suddenly froze.
Something about Son Gohan in the projection seemed wrong.
In the image, Son Gohan suddenly retreated several steps on the Lookout. He clenched both fists and let out a cold shout.
Then...
Lightning suddenly began crackling all around his body!
"Isn't that the prelude to a Super Saiyan 2 transformation?" Whis murmured thoughtfully.
Gran nodded.
"It is. That's definitely the prelude to transforming into Super Saiyan 2. I didn't expect this kid, Son Gohan, to reach this stage so quickly!"
Gran was genuinely shocked by Gohan's transformation.
After all, in the original story, Son Gohan only transformed into Super Saiyan 2 after Android 16 was brutally crushed beneath Cell's foot.
But now, Gohan had merely spent an additional two years training inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and he had already reached this point.
That meant the famous scene of Gohan's tears flowing upward against gravity would never happen.
"What a shame. We won't get to see that iconic scene anymore."
Gran couldn't help muttering to himself.
At this moment, Chronoa also shook her head.
"There was never any suspense about the outcome of this battle. And now that Son Gohan is about to transform into Super Saiyan 2, Vegeta has even less of a chance of winning."
The scene that followed unfolded exactly as they expected.
Lightning arcs wrapped around Son Gohan's entire body.
His golden hair stood violently on end.
And then...
5 billion battle power erupted!
The instant he moved, Vegeta couldn't react at all.
In the next moment, Son Gohan had already appeared directly in front of him.
He bent forward.
Then...
BOOM!
He drove his fist forward!
Son Gohan's movements flowed together seamlessly.
Vegeta instantly spat out blood before his entire body was sent flying backward.
In the projection, Son Gohan coldly said,
"Hmph. If my dad hadn't told me to spare your life, I'd definitely kill you for what you did to Uncle Piccolo!"
After Vegeta was defeated by that single punch, Raditz rushed over and rescued him.
But Vegeta's expression had become one of unwillingness, helplessness, and dejection...
Gran naturally understood exactly why Vegeta was reacting this way.
Vegeta had always regarded himself as the Prince of Saiyans.
In his mind, his talent and strength should have made him the strongest Saiyan of all.
But then Gran had appeared.
Then Broly.
And finally, there was even Son Goku, a low-class warrior...
All of these people were "trash" whom Vegeta had never thought highly of.
Yet these very "pieces of trash" had continuously surpassed him, the proud Saiyan prince.
His Saiyan pride was being thrown onto the ground and trampled over and over again!
Now, he couldn't even defeat Son Goku's son.
How could Vegeta possibly accept that?
"By the way, Lord Chronoa," Gran suddenly looked at Chronoa with a teasing smile. "After seeing Broly and Kakarot, you wanted to recruit both of them as Time Patrolmen. What about this Vegeta? What do you think?"
"..."
Chronoa's face instantly darkened.
Vegeta at this point was still far too immature.
She wasn't interested in him at all.
"Why aren't you saying anything, Lord Chronoa?"
"Gran, I've seriously started to realize that you're getting more and more annoying!"
"Hahaha!"
After teasing Chronoa, Gran was thoroughly pleased with himself.
However, the projection showing Vegeta had become increasingly boring.
After losing to Son Gohan, Vegeta was either on the road to self-destruction or on the road to completely giving up on himself.
"Whis, change the projection."
Gran lay back on his beach chair and yawned.
"Very well."
Whis switched the projection above the lake once again.
After that...
Gran didn't go anywhere.
He simply stayed in the God of Destruction's Realm to relax while having Whis project scenes from across Universe 7 so he could observe the changes taking place.
The God of Destruction's Realm became peaceful and quiet...
But Universe 6 and Universe 7 were becoming increasingly lively.
The Universal Martial Arts Tournament continued to gain momentum throughout the two universes, and its reputation grew larger and larger.
...
Time flew by.
The year became Age 765.
Only one year remained until the Universal Martial Arts Tournament.
And two years remained until the Android Crisis.
Over the past year, the Universal Martial Arts Tournament had finally begun producing the effects Gran had intended.
This was particularly evident in the Mortal Level Index.
At the same time, in the World of the Kais—
"Hahahaha!!"
"Ancestor, did you see that?! Our Mortal Level Index has risen again!"
Asin excitedly hopped around beneath the great tree.
"Hmph. Can't you, a Supreme Kai, show a little more composure?"
The Old Kai sat on the grass.
Although he was scolding Asin, anyone could tell from his tone that he was just as excited.
"How am I supposed to stay calm?!!"
Asin rushed over and grabbed the Old Kai by both shoulders.
"Before Gran even announced that he was going to hold this Universal Martial Arts Tournament, I had already predicted the development of Universe 7's Mortal Level Index."
"At the time, I predicted that our Universe 7 Mortal Level Index would reach 4.0 in Age 765!"
"But because of the influence of Gran's Universal Martial Arts Tournament, our Mortal Level Index has actually reached 4.20!"
"4.20, Ancestor! This is 4.20 we're talking about..."
