Dragon Ball Super: Exposed! I'm a super saiyan

Chapter 19: CHAPTER 19



c19: Super Saiyan 3 + Kaio-ken VS Super Saiyan Blue

Faced with Luya's strange question, Goku didn't take it too seriously. He just laughed and replied earnestly:

"I went through a lot to reach Super Saiyan Blue. Controlling god ki, training with Whis, learning to remain calm in battle, it wasn't easy at all."

Luya nodded understandingly. "I get it. Blue isn't just about raw power, it's about control too."

Goku grinned. "So, are we still going? Just so you know, right now, my strength is higher than yours!"

Luya gritted his teeth. Damn it! The system mission still wasn't complete. He had only fought around 500 rounds, but he needed to reach 1,000!

He couldn't afford to stop here!

"Of course we keep fighting!" Luya declared confidently. "Even if you've gone Blue, I haven't used my full power yet!"

Goku's eyes twinkled. "Oh yeah! That's right! You can use the Kaio-ken too, can't you?"

Luya nodded, eyes flashing.

BOOM!!

Suddenly, Luya's aura exploded again, his Super Saiyan 3 form flaring even brighter with wild golden light and rolling thunder.

"KAIO-KEN!!!" he roared.

In the next instant, a red aura engulfed the golden one. His body surged with violent energy as the desert shook beneath them.

Fiery red and golden waves spiraled outward, kicking up sand and warping the air around them.

Goku narrowed his eyes, his smile fading.

"No way… he's stacking Kaio-ken on top of Super Saiyan 3? That's incredibly dangerous!"

He had never done that himself. In fact, even using Kaio-ken on top of Super Saiyan Blue had taken precise divine ki control and intense training.

"Seven times?" Goku muttered, observing the aura.

"No…"

Luya smirked, his body trembling slightly from the energy.

"Seven times? Nope keep counting!"

BOOM!!!

He howled again, and his aura surged to a whole new level thicker, hotter, more volatile.

"TEN TIMES KAIO-KEN!!"

Goku's expression finally turned serious.

This wasn't just a flashy boost, Luya's power now rivaled his own Super Saiyan Blue in raw output.

"That's insane!" Goku muttered. "He's risking his body like Frieza did with Golden Form—burning power faster than he can maintain it."

Luya's face twisted into a confident grin. "Think I can't handle it? Then come test me!!"

Before Goku could reply, Luya disappeared.

BAM!!!

Luya struck before Goku even saw him move. A clean hit across the ribs sent Goku flying backwards through the desert, crashing through a rocky outcrop.

"Aghh…!" Goku coughed, skidding to a stop mid-air. He touched his side and wiped away a trickle of blood. Then he smiled again.

"He's fast...! I haven't had a hit like that in a while!"

Luya floated, the red and gold aura flickering wildly around him. His eyes were sharp, cold, and focused.

"Again!" Goku roared, blasting forward.

Luya let out a cold breath and launched himself to meet Goku head-on.

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!!

A furious flurry of blows erupted between them—punches, kicks, elbows, knees. Each strike shook the sky. Craters erupted from stray blows.

Goku went in for a hook, but Luya ducked low, twisted mid-spin, and used the Kaio-ken to increase speed again.

With a force-enhanced fist, he slammed Goku straight into the sand!

BOOOM!!!

A crater exploded into existence as Goku hit the ground. The shockwave knocked over a nearby rock pillar.

"Kuh...!" Goku grimaced and powered back up, bursting through the crater with a flash of blue light.

But before he could recover fully

"HAA!!"

Luya raised a hand, formed a pulsing orb of crimson energy, and hurled it down at Goku.

SWOOSH!

The energy bomb spiraled downward, heading straight for Goku at high speed

Suddenly, Goku vanished in a burst of speed, using Instant Transmission so fast it bypassed Luya's reaction time. He reappeared beside him and slammed a hard side kick into Luya's gut!

"Gahh!!" Luya doubled over violently, his eyes bulging as the wind and bile were forced out of him!

Without pause, Goku launched a brutal uppercut, sending Luya crashing down through the desert sky.

"Kamehameha!!" Goku called out instinctively, his hands already cupped as he summoned his godly ki.

A brilliant Super Kamehameha, reinforced by his Super Saiyan Blue form, roared down toward the earth.

BOOOOM!!!

The entire desert detonated, and shockwaves surged outward for miles. A blazing crater, several kilometers wide, was gouged into the landscape!

As the smoke cleared, Goku hovered in the sky, arms lowered, looking into the pit.

"I know you're not finished," he said with a calm but intense gaze.

Suddenly

"HAAAAAAA!!!"

A furious war cry erupted, and from the center of the crater, a golden-red pillar of energy burst into the sky, tearing clouds apart!

Luya rose slowly from the beam, his hair whipping wildly, face bruised, armor torn, blood trickling down his brow but his fighting spirit was unshaken.

Goku's face grew serious. This guy… he's still going after all that?

He was impressed. Despite not mastering god ki, Luya had kept up this long and was still burning with resolve.

But Kaio-ken had its price. Like Frieza's Golden Form when first used, Luya's body was showing signs of collapse his breathing ragged, muscles twitching under stress.

Goku could tell: Luya was nearing his limit.

Still, the younger Saiyan's eyes burned with that same tenacious light.

"I'm not done yet." Luya's voice was hoarse, but defiant.

Goku nodded, his expression softening with mutual respect. "Alright. Let's finish this."

Fwoooom!

Goku re-engaged, exploding in speed, the azure aura of Super Saiyan Blue igniting around him like a star!

Luya gritted his teeth and rocketed up to meet him again.

He could've taken a Senzu Bean. The system mission was just one round away from completion one more exchange and it'd be over.

But… he was a Saiyan.

Pride wouldn't let him cheat.

Not in a battle like this.

"We finish this the right way!"

BAM! BAM! BAM!

The two Saiyans clashed at near-light speed. The sky rippled with sonic booms. Goku had the advantage now but Luya's instincts were sharpening with every blow.

He was evolving mid-battle.

His latent Saiyan potential, the same kind of combat genius that Vegeta and Gohan had displayed in the past—was rising fast.

Luya felt it too.

"I'm getting stronger…"

He began to read Goku's patterns. To adapt. He could now match Super Saiyan Blue's tempo, even if just briefly.

Then, suddenly

SMACK!

Luya caught Goku with a surprise right hook to the jaw, sending him hurtling dozens of meters backward!

[Ding! Battle with Son Goku has reached 999 rounds! Only one more round remaining. Host, keep it up!]

Luya smirked. "Then let's end it. One final move!"

Goku stopped mid-air and grinned with that familiar carefree excitement.

"Heh! One last round? You're speaking my language!"

They both dropped back, gathering their final energy.

Luya pushed his Kaio-ken to the peak, roaring as his aura exploded—his Super Saiyan 3 form cloaked in a raging crimson flame.

Goku responded in kind, his Super Saiyan Blue aura igniting in a deeper, richer blue.

This was Blue Kaio-ken's edge, barely restrained.

"Kame…"

"Kame…"

They chanted together, palms forward, energy spheres glowing between their hands.

"Ha…"

Their energies surged, forming twin spirals of red and blue.

"Me…"

Time seemed to slow as pressure built. The clouds were sucked in. The ground trembled.

"HAAAA!!!"

Twin blasts erupted, colliding with a cosmic boom! The shockwave flattened everything for miles around. Sandstorms whipped through the desert. Lightning forked across the sky.

The two energy waves, Kaio-ken-infused gold and god-ki-saturated blue, pushed against each other in a titanic struggle

Neither side backing down
