Chapter 285 285: The Strength of the GT Four

"Hey, brat—didn't your teacher ever tell you to show respect to your elders?"

Since he was from the same generation as Goku, Pan naturally counted as his junior. Gran merely tilted his body slightly, and her kick sliced through empty air.

At that same instant, Trunks swept in with a low kick aimed at Gran's legs.

But Gran simply hopped lightly—

and avoided that attack as well.

"How is that possible?!" Pan's mouth fell open in shock.

"How are you reacting so fast?" Trunks asked, disbelief written all over his face.

"You two are pretty impressive."

Gran took two steps back casually.

From that brief exchange alone, he had already gauged their strength.

These two young Saiyans were no pushovers. In their current base states, they were already around 500 million in battle power.

And that wasn't even counting their transformations.

So what can they reach? Super Saiyan 3? Or even Super Saiyan 4? Gran wondered.

"Don't get cocky!"

Though Gran's words sounded like praise, they came off as mockery to their ears.

"Pan—go all out!"

In an instant, the two transformed.

Pan ascended to Super Saiyan 2.

Her power skyrocketed to 50 billion.

Trunks pushed further, transforming into Super Saiyan 3.

His power surged to 200 billion.

"So that's your limit? Not bad."

Gran had expected them to reach Super Saiyan 4, but this was still decent.

He crooked his finger again.

"Come on."

"Arrogant!"

BOOM!

Their auras exploded, sweeping across the Time Realm like a raging storm.

They charged at Gran once more.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Their power stirred violent gales—trees were uprooted, the air howled—

but no matter how they attacked, they couldn't touch him.

Gran's movements were clean, fluid, and effortless—

almost beautiful to watch.

"Kakarot… what kind of martial arts level is that?" Vegeta muttered, stunned.

Originally, he had planned to observe first—to test Gran's depth.

But now…

He couldn't understand anything he was seeing.

"I don't know what level that is," Goku replied, eyes gleaming with excitement.

"But one thing's certain—his martial arts are on a level above mine!"

"..."

Vegeta was speechless.

Well, that's obvious.

He scoffed internally—but he couldn't hold back anymore.

With a burst of force, he shot forward like a cannonball.

At the same time, Goku moved as well—but instead of following behind Vegeta, he chose a different attack angle.

Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Gran's lips.

He dodged Trunks and Pan's strikes without even looking at Goku—

then transformed into a streak of light and charged straight at Vegeta.

"Perfect!!"

Vegeta's blood boiled as he raised his fist to meet him head-on.

Suddenly...

BOOM!

"Super Vegeta… maybe skip the thumb pose next time."

A fist slammed into Vegeta's abdomen.

His stomach caved in nearly ten centimeters.

The moment Gran withdrew his hand—

Vegeta spat out a mouthful of blood.

"So… fast…!!"

Clutching his stomach, Vegeta doubled over like a cooked shrimp, pain twisting his face.

Gran's movements looked slow—

but in reality, they were terrifyingly fast.

Since the Shadow Dragon incident, Vegeta had never been humiliated like this.

And now...

He had been dropped in a single blow.

By someone who had once been his subordinate.

Seeing this, a surge of satisfaction rose in Gran's chest.

He even felt the urge to keep beating Vegeta down.

"Dad!"

Trunks' expression twisted with anger as he rushed behind Gran.

Pan moved to his side.

Goku appeared directly in front.

The three of them surrounded Gran.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

They unleashed a relentless barrage—punches and kicks flying like lightning.

Especially Goku—

His instinctive reactions had reached the third stage, each strike imbued with profound martial intent.

And yet...

Even with three opponents attacking at once—

they still couldn't touch Gran.

The battlefield expanded rapidly.

The longer Goku fought, the more shocked he became.

What is going on? Why can't we land a single hit?!

"Kakarot—don't lose focus in a fight."

Gran moved like a nimble monkey.

He dodged Trunks' energy blasts—

evaded Pan's close-range strikes,

then suddenly appeared behind Goku.

His hand rose—

aimed at the back of Goku's neck.

The motion was clean, natural—

just like the scene where Goku first met Beerus on King Kai's planet and was instantly knocked out.

Effortless.

Decisive.

But just as Gran was about to strike—

BOOM!!

A massive surge of power erupted from Goku's body.

His form transformed.

Red fur.

Black hair.

Super Saiyan 4.

In an instant, Goku vanished from his original position.

Gran remained standing where he was, slightly stunned.

Then he lifted his head, scanning the four of them—

his gaze settling on Goku.

"Third-stage instinct… and peak fourth-stage God-level power."

A faint smile curved his lips.

The GT timeline was far ahead.

If compared to Dragon Ball Super, it would take another 15 to 20 years to reach this point.

And after surviving the Shadow Dragon saga—

it wasn't surprising that Goku had reached the fourth stage of the God Realm.

"And what about him?"

Gran shifted his gaze toward the figure still lying on the ground—

that "Super" Vegeta.

"AAAGH—UNFORGIVABLE!!"

Vegeta pushed himself up, veins bulging across his forehead.

Lightning crackled around him—

his form transformed as well.

He too entered Super Saiyan 4.

But his power wasn't on Goku's level—

he had only reached the peak of the third stage.

"At least he's at the level of a Candidate God of Destruction… not too embarrassing."

Gran withdrew his gaze.

Now that he had tested their strength, he didn't rush to attack again.

On Goku's side.

Pan was panting heavily.

"G-Grandpa… is he really a Saiyan? How can there be a Saiyan stronger than you?"

Trunks clenched his teeth, forcing himself to stay composed.

"No wonder he was so arrogant… he actually has the strength to back it up!"

Goku's heart was still pounding violently.

"If it weren't for that last second… I would've been taken out instantly."

He narrowed his eyes.

"It's not just his martial arts… it's also his aura. We can't sense it at all—that puts us at a huge disadvantage."
