Dragon Ball: Being able to revive means you're courting death? How naive!

Chapter 225: The First Encounter Between Goku and Frieza

With steady and determined steps, Sun Wukong walked straight towards Frieza. The powerful aura emanating from his body created visible air currents. Piccolo stared at Sun Wukong, his eyes filled with shock and amazement, and murmured to himself, "Old Goku, how exactly did you train? This aura is completely different from what it was on Earth back then, it's indescribably powerful."

Sun Wukong stared intently at Frieza, his eyes blazing, and said, "You're Frieza? You're much smaller than I imagined. Vegeta told me he would fight alongside me, but you ruined my plans."

Frieza looked at Goku with disdain and retorted, "Who do you think you are?" In that instant, Frieza stared at Goku's face and a strange sense of familiarity suddenly rose in his heart. He thought to himself, "Why does this person look so familiar?"

At this moment, Vegeta, who was beneath Frieza's feet, struggled to open his battered eyes. Upon seeing Goku, he spoke weakly yet with a hint of relief, saying intermittently, "Kakarot, you...you've come."

Upon hearing the name "Kakarot," Frieza was initially taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise, "Kakarot? Isn't that a Saiyan's name?" He looked at Goku again, and just then, a gentle breeze brushed against Goku's hair. That familiar gesture made Frieza instantly realize that the Saiyan had fiercely resisted and refused to yield during the attack on Planet Vegeta.

Frieza's heart skipped a beat. Yes, it was him! When Planet Vegeta was destroyed, a Saiyan fought desperately, and that figure was exactly like Goku before him. Frieza thought to himself, he couldn't let this Saiyan live in this universe; he had to eliminate him quickly. Thinking of this, Frieza snapped out of his reverie, a fierce sneer on his face, and glared at Goku, saying menacingly, "You brat, if you knew what was good for you, you should have found a corner to hide in. Why did you have to come here to die!"

Sun Wukong remained calm and said, "Perhaps."

Frieza was extremely dissatisfied with Goku's nonchalant attitude, and let out a heavy "humph" through his nose, full of disdain.

At this moment, Vegeta, beneath Frieza's feet, struggled to open his eyes again and looked at Goku. A storm raged within him as he thought to himself, "Goku is no longer the same; he seems to have surpassed the limits of a Saiyan." Thinking this, a glint flashed in Vegeta's eyes, and he suddenly widened them, inwardly shouting, "Could it be! Could it be that he has... become...!"

Just then, Frieza's lips curled into a cruel smile, and he said menacingly, "So, are you ready to die?" Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished abruptly, appearing in front of Goku in the blink of an eye. With a twist of his waist, his thick tail, like a steel whip, lashed out at Goku with a whooshing sound.

Sun Wukong reacted extremely quickly, his figure flashing and disappearing from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already behind Frieza.

Frieza sensed the movement behind him and realized Goku's sudden attack. However, he was a step too slow and only had time to turn around before Goku kicked him in the face, sending him flying like a kite with a broken string.

Frieza spun in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground. He covered his kicked face with one hand, his face contorted with rage, his teeth grinding, and he glared fiercely at Goku, his eyes seemingly spitting fire.

Krillin, watching from afar, stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. He exclaimed, "Wow! How did Goku do that? How did Frieza fly away so quickly? I didn't even see his movements!"

“Yes!” Son Gohan chimed in.

Frieza's expression turned icy cold, and his previously half-bowed body suddenly straightened up with swift and decisive movements. Then, he slowly raised his right hand, his index finger pointing straight at Goku, as if locking onto a target destined to die.

Shang Yun, who was standing at a distance, witnessed this scene and his face turned ashen. He screamed at the top of his lungs, "Oh no! Wukong, get out of the way!"

Frieza's eyes widened in fury, and he roared, "Arrogant brat, see how I deal with you!" As soon as he finished speaking, he gathered power at his fingertips, and a dazzling energy blast instantly formed, carrying a rolling heat wave, and shot straight towards Goku like a cannonball.

Faced with the oncoming energy blast, Sun Wukong remained calm and composed. He showed no intention of dodging, instead standing firmly in place, his eyes radiating a chilling confidence. Just as the energy blast was about to strike him, Sun Wukong calmly extended his right hand and, with lightning speed, slapped it away like a giant fan. With a crisp "crack," the incredibly powerful energy blast was easily deflected, veering off its original trajectory and flying into the distance, where it exploded in mid-air, creating a violent energy surge.

Seeing this, Frieza's facial muscles contorted with rage, his teeth grinding together. His anger was ignited, and he resolved to teach Goku a lesson. He rapidly tapped his fingers, unleashing a barrage of energy projectiles like a dense sea of ​​bullets, attempting to completely engulf Goku in this ocean of energy.

However, Sun Wukong remained as immovable as a towering mountain. His gaze was unwavering, fixed on the incoming energy blasts, his hands moving like two rapidly spinning fans, deflecting each blast with pinpoint accuracy. The deflected energy blasts scattered in mid-air, triggering a series of deafening explosions, instantly engulfing the entire battlefield in thick smoke and dazzling light. Yet, amidst this chaos, Sun Wukong's figure remained clearly visible. With his extraordinary strength and astonishing composure, he repeatedly deflected Frieza's fierce attacks.

The energy blasts, sent flying by Sun Wukong's fan, rampaged like untamed beasts, causing devastating explosions wherever they went. In an instant, blinding light erupted, as if countless suns were simultaneously shining, scorching the eyes. Billowing smoke and dust, like a surging tide, rapidly spread, engulfing everything in their path.

The solid rocks shattered like fragile glass under the impact of the explosion. Large chunks of rock were blasted everywhere, some flying like cannonballs into the distance, while others were shredded into fine gravel in mid-air by the shockwave. The calm sea was also completely disturbed. The surging waves rose high like mountains, crashing and churning against each other like a tidal wave, creating white sprays tens of meters high. Accompanied by the roar of the explosion, the whole scene resembled the end of the world.

Frieza's lips curled into a smug grin. He crossed his arms and confidently awaited the dust to settle, certain that Goku had been reduced to dust by the previous barrage of energy blasts.

Time passed slowly, and the billowing smoke finally began to dissipate. At first, only a faint outline could be seen behind the smoke, but as the smoke thinned, Sun Wukong's tall figure gradually became clear. He stood steadily, his hair fluttering gently in the wind, his whole being exuding an aura of power, his eyes revealing fearlessness and determination.

Upon seeing this, Frieza's eyes widened instantly, his smugness replaced by astonishment, his mouth gaped open, almost unable to believe his eyes, and he exclaimed, "How is this possible? He blocked them all! And with one hand!"
