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

Chapter 147 Passing the Test

Upon hearing the sound, Vegeta struggled to lift his head, his eyes burning with resentful rage. However, due to his severe injuries, he was unable to utter a complete sentence and could only squeeze out a few indistinct curses through his teeth.

Sabo crouched down, grabbed Vegeta by the collar, lifted his upper body up, and continued to mock, "Hmph, King Frieza has ordered that you be taken back. Your life can be spared for now."

A resolute glint flashed in Vegeta's eyes. He tried to struggle, but he couldn't muster any strength. He could only let Zarbo lift him up like a chick and fly towards Frieza's base.

Back at Frieza's base, Sabo, with a grave expression, hurriedly brought the critically injured Vegeta to the base's medical area. With the help of a group of tense medical personnel, he carefully placed Vegeta into a treatment pod.

Sabo immediately grabbed the collar of the doctor in charge of treatment and asked, "How is he? Will he survive?"

The doctor's voice trembled with fear as he frantically operated the control panel of the treatment pod, stammering, "Lord Sabo, Vegeta's injuries are extremely severe. His vital signs are so weak they're almost gone. But we will do everything in our power to save him!"

Sabo released his grip, his brow furrowed, his eyes fixed on the bloodless Vegeta inside the treatment pod. He thought to himself, "That damned Vegeta, I hope he doesn't die here. If he dies, Frieza's unpredictable temper will definitely take its toll on me, and then my life will be in serious trouble."

Sabo's fists clenched involuntarily, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and fear. He paced back and forth around the treatment pod, glancing occasionally at the busy doctors, as if this would speed up Vegeta's treatment process.

……

On King Kai's planet, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu are engaged in a fierce battle with a mischievous Bablos. Bablos is incredibly agile, and despite the three taking turns, they repeatedly miss their targets. By now, they are all panting heavily and nearing their physical limits.

"Dinner's ready!" King Kai's booming voice suddenly rang out.

The three of them instantly perked up, their eyes filled with anticipation. They rushed to the table, gazing longingly at the delicious food, and began to wolf it down without a word.

King Kai looked at them and couldn't help but laugh, "I thought Sun Wukong's appetite was already amazing, but I didn't expect you guys to be just as good!"

With his cheeks bulging and his mouth stuffed with food, Yamcha said indistinctly but confidently, "Hmph, I won't lose to that Goku guy. I'll eat ten more bowls of rice than him!" After saying that, he picked up another bowl of rice and shoveled it into his mouth.

Tianjin-style rice and dumplings were equally enthusiastic, and the clinking of bowls and chopsticks on the table was constant.

Seeing this, King Kai hurriedly waved his hand and shouted anxiously, "Alright, alright, stop, stop, leave some for me!"

The three of them stopped what they were doing, looking a little embarrassed. They scratched their heads and said with a smile, "Well, it's mainly because your cooking skills are so amazing, Lord Kai, we just couldn't resist."

King Kai crossed his arms, a smug smile on his face, and began to speak eloquently: "Of course, I underwent professional chef training back then, and my culinary skills are unmatched by ordinary people."

Just as King Kai was lost in his self-praise, the three exchanged a glance, then quietly picked up their bowls and chopsticks and continued their swift and desolate eating. When King Kai came to his senses, he saw that the table was a complete mess, and all the food had been swept away.

King Kai's lips twitched slightly, his eyes filled with helplessness as he coldly stared at them. The three noticed King Kai's gaze, their faces breaking into awkward smiles, and they unconsciously shrank back.

"Start training! Keep hunting Babrus!" King Kai shouted.

Tianjin Fan stood up, patted his chest, and said with a determined look, "Great! I'll have the strength now that I'm full, and I'm sure I can catch it this time!"

King Kai turned to look at Piccolo, who was sitting quietly to the side. Piccolo picked up a gourd, slowly opened it, and took a sip of water.

King Kai couldn't help but exclaim, "You really can survive on just water!"

Bick snorted coldly, not replying, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain.

Not long after, Yamcha, with his indomitable spirit, seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and successfully captured Babrus.

Seeing this, Tien Shinhan was not to be outdone and shouted, "Behold my Four-Body Fist!" In an instant, his figure split into four and quickly surrounded Babrus from four directions. Babrus was caught off guard by this sudden move and was eventually firmly grabbed by Tien Shinhan.

Dumpling calmly used her special ability, staring intently at Babrus with a gleam in her eyes. Then, as if drawn by invisible threads, Babrus obediently walked towards Dumpling and was easily controlled by her.

Seeing that all three had passed the test of catching Babrus, King Kai nodded and said, "Good. Next, look over there, Gregory, start catching grasshoppers now." As he spoke, King Kai shouted, and a small grasshopper instantly flew over and stopped not far away.

King Kai picked up a hammer, shook it, and said, "Whoever can hit Gregory with this hammer will pass the test."

Tien Shinhan confidently stepped forward, took the hammer, and said, "This is a piece of cake, I'll go first." But as soon as he grasped the hammer, his arm suddenly sank down, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "I didn't expect this hammer to be so heavy."

Tien Shinhan took a deep breath and encouraged himself: "Okay, let's begin."

Gregory flashed past Tien Shinhan in an instant. Tien Shinhan hadn't even reacted yet, and after a while, he blinked and said with a blank expression, "What just flew by? That was so fast!"

Then, the three of them embarked on one test after another to capture Gregory, and although they failed repeatedly, their enthusiasm remained undiminished.

Piccolo sat to the side, watching the three of them scrambling around. A slight, disdainful smirk appeared on his lips as he murmured, "How boring." He then closed his eyes and continued to immerse himself in his meditation.

Tien Shinhan and his two companions quickly passed Gregory's test. King Kai nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, let's begin the formal training."

Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Gyoza exchanged glances, their eyes filled with anticipation.
