Chapter 312
"Hey, did you two save my turtle?" Master Ros.h.i.+ inquired. He arrived before Goku and Bulma, while wearing a cool s.h.i.+rt, and his eyes under the sungla.s.ses carefully seized them up.
"Yes, that's us!" Goku affirmed.
"Hm? This youngster is not simple; his movements are natural! He must have received good training." Seeing Goku, Master Ros.h.i.+ could see that he was like an uncut gem with just a glance, so he couldn't help but size him up a few more times. Then, he laughed and said, "Since you saved my turtle, I will give you a gift as a reward."
Goku repeatedly waved his hands and refused, "There is no need grandfather; this is what I should have done."
At this time, the turtle crawled over to Goku's side and said, "This is the Martial arts teacher who lives in Kame House. He is called the G.o.d of Martial Arts. Surely, the gift from Master Ros.h.i.+ will be very precious."
Hearing its words, Goku was surprised; he pointed at Master Ros.h.i.+ and exclaimed, "Ahh, you are the Grandpa Master Ros.h.i.+ that my Grandpa asked me to look for!" Saying that, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over, saying "Grandpa, this is something that my grandfather told me to hand it over to you."
"A letter for me from your grandfather?" Master Ros.h.i.+ glanced at Goku with a puzzled look as he took the letter and looked at it. "Oh, so you are the child that Gohan adopted! Well, well, it means you are also a disciple of the Turtle School."
Master Ros.h.i.+ was aware that Gohan had picked up a child several years ago and had been raising him since then. "Unexpectedly, it's this kid in front of me,"
Master Ros.h.i.+ carefully inspected Goku and couldn't stop nodding. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. "You are called Son Goku. Gohan said in the letter to accept you as my disciple, but I have not received any disciple for many years and I still have no such plan. So, I will test you. Use your most powerful move and let me look at it, if I am satisfied, then I can accept you as my disciple."
"Fine!" Goku agreed in a loud voice.
When Grandpa Gohan died, he was asked to come to Kame House to look for Grandpa Master Ros.h.i.+, so the innocent Goku very obediently did as instructed by Master Ros.h.i.+. Immediately, he a.s.sumed a stance, intending to use Kamehameha.
Master Ros.h.i.+ didn't know the extent of the training which Goku had received training from Son Gohan. He wanted Goku to use his most powerful move, mainly because he intended to look at Goku's foundation. However, when he saw Goku a.s.suming the Kamehameha's first stance, he was immediately startled. He held up his sungla.s.ses and inwardly thought, 'Could Son Gohan have pa.s.sed on the Kamehameha to him? But without decades of training, he shouldn't be able to execute it!'
'However, his stance doesn't look like an empty husk.'
"Ka Me Ha Me Ha!" Goku yelled and pushed his palms forward, as energy erupted out from his palms like a sleeping dragon soaring into the sky.
A dark-blue energy beam with an extremely tyrannical and destructive power suddenly flew out towards the surface of the sea.
Huala!
The calm surface of the sea suddenly split open from the impact, creating a path in the water, and the straight energy beam rushed across the water's surface and disappeared into the horizon.
"He… he was really able to execute it. Where the h.e.l.l did this monster come from? Even I cannot match this level of skill and destructive power!" Seeing that Goku was really able to successfully execute the Kamehameha, Master Ros.h.i.+ couldn't help but become listless with sweat dripping from his forehead; he was extremely shocked.
It's not surprising that Master Ros.h.i.+ was so shocked as there were very few martial artists on earth that could execute the Kamehameha; their numbers could be counted on ten fingers. As the Turtle School's special skill and with the difficulty level of the Kamehameha, one must have a very exquisite grasp of their "Ki" in order to execute it. Without decades of hard work, the person wouldn't even be able to find the right way of using the Kamehameha, let alone executing it.
Even among his few disciples, only the eldest disciple, Gohan, had reached the standard of mastering it.
The boy in front of him was only eleven or twelve years old, but he could perfectly execute the Turtle School's unique skill — Kamehameha; it's not surprising that he was shocked.
Cough! Cough!
Master Ros.h.i.+ coughed and looked at Goku with his eyes s.h.i.+ning brightly. The more he looked at Goku, the more satisfied he was. "Son Goku, if you are willing, I can accept you as my disciple right now."
With Gohan's letter of introduction and the excellent potential that Goku had shown, even though Master Ros.h.i.+ had stopped accepting disciples for many years, he couldn't help but like him.
"Yes!" Goku happily agreed.
Then, just like in the original work, Master Ros.h.i.+ intended to give the Immortal Phoenix to Goku as a gift for their first time meeting, but because the Immortal Phoenix was dead, he finally gave him the Flying Nimbus.
Goku rode the Flying Nimbus upward and danced like a bird in the sky. Bulma stood by the side and sighed. She didn't expect Little Goku to be related to the old man "Martial Arts Teacher? His name sounds a little familiar…"
As the daughter of the richest man in the world, Bulma was not a fancy-pants like other children of rich families; instead, she was very adventurous. Otherwise, she wouldn't go out alone to find the dragon b.a.l.l.s during holidays. She didn't take the rumors about the G.o.d of Martial Arts very seriously, or else how would she have no impression of the "Martial Arts Teacher" who is famous in the upper cla.s.s of the society?
'However, he could make Goku take him as his master, so he should be a very famous person!'Bulma pondered further.
At this time, Bulma spotted an orange crystal ball hanging on the neck of Master Ros.h.i.+. She froze and immediately took a look at the dragon ball radar, and sure enough, she saw that there were three bright dots a.s.sembled together on it.
"Ahh! Are you wearing the dragon ball on your neck?" Bulma was startled.
"Oh, are you referring to this bead? I picked it up from the sea more than 100 years ago. So, it is called dragon ball… " Master Ros.h.i.+ said, suddenly realizing the truth.
Bulma coyly requested, "Can you give me that dragon ball?"
Master Ros.h.i.+ looked at Bulma—a light purple-haired and tender-skinned girl in a red dress—and his eyes immediately became vulgar, as he said, "Hehe, I can give it to you, but there is a condition…"
"What condition?" Bulma asked.
"That is…" Just like in the original work, Master Ros.h.i.+ proposed the vulgar condition to see Bulma's panties, but Goku, who had some common sense now, knew that a girl's panties shouldn't be seen, as he said, "Grandpa Master Ros.h.i.+, a girl's body can't be casually looked at. I saw it yesterday and was scolded by Bulma. Moreover, it doesn't even look good!"
"Have you seen it?" Master Ros.h.i.+ asked admiringly.
"Enough! What are you talking about, you hooligans!" Bulma's face blushed, as she lashed out angrily.
Master Ros.h.i.+ coughed twice and looked at Goku with some admiration, thinking to himself, 'This kid's luck is quite good.' But in order to maintain the honest character of a teacher, Master Ros.h.i.+'s plot did not succeeded.
"Forget it, I will give this bead to you!" After saying that, he took off the three-star Dragon ball from around his neck and gave it to Bulma.
After getting the three-star Dragon ball, Bulma immediately forgot her unhappiness from just now and excitedly put away the dragon ball inside a bag.
"Son Goku, are you going back to Kame House with me or with your friend? Of course, if your friend is willing to come to Kame House, she is also welcome!"
"Like h.e.l.l I will go!" Bulma scowled at Master Ros.h.i.+ and snapped at him.
"Grandpa, I promised Bulma that I would accompany her to find the dragon b.a.l.l.s. Bulma is too useless, and it is very likely that she would be taken away and eaten up by a monster if left to fend for herself. After I help her find all the dragon b.a.l.l.s, I will then go to Grandpa's place." Goku glanced at Bulma and answered, feeling worried.
Listening to him, Bulma was immediately moved to tears. She hugged Goku's head and rubbed it vigorously, sinking his whole head into her chest. "Goku, you are really a good person. When I have all the dragon b.a.l.l.s, I will definitely thank you properly."
As they interacted with each other during their journey here, Bulma learned that although Goku was not old, he was really powerful. With a bodyguard like him, her safety would be even more ensured. What's more, after having a companion on a journey, anyone would be somewhat unwilling to return to journeying alone.
Master Ros.h.i.+ admiringly looked at Goku who was in intimate contact with a pretty girl, wis.h.i.+ng he could change position with him. Wriggling his throat, he thought to himself, 'This kid, Goku, is really enviable.'
At this time, feeling uncomfortable, Goku pushed away Bulma's body and frowned, saying, "You almost suffocated me to death! Bulma, you should lose weight."
"What are you talking about!" Bulma's eyes immediately widened as she flew into a rage.
"Cough, cough, Son Goku, since you are going with your friend to look for the dragon b.a.l.l.s, then come to Kame House and look for me after you are done. Flying Nimbus knows the destination." Master Ros.h.i.+ could no longer look at this immoral youthful aura. Sure enough, only his Kame House had a fragrant atmosphere. Therefore, he waved his hand, sat down on his turtle and said goodbye to Goku and Bulma.
"Okay, I will come over when I am done!" Goku waved at Master Ros.h.i.+'s back and shouted.
"Hehe, my luck is not bad, I got the third dragon ball so easily." Bulma pressed the b.u.t.ton of the dragon ball radar to expand the search area a little bit on the screen, and soon after, she found the fourth bright dot dozens of kilometers away.
"Goku, look, the fourth dragon ball is not far from here. Let's go in that direction along the seaside!" Bulma pointed at the coastline, and in the midst of blue water and blue sky, she could faintly see the outline of a city in the distance.
"Okay. However, your heart is not pure, so you can't sit on the Flying Nimbus." Goku leaned over on the Flying Nimbus, smiling as his chin rested on both of his hands.
"I will drive over with the motorcycle!!"
Bulma didn't care in the slightest and answered with a smile.
Therefore, Goku and Bulma once again set out on their journey. According to the display on the radar, the next destination was only a few tens of kilometers away from them. With the Flying Nimbus and the motorcycle's speed, it could be reached in ten plus minutes.
It was a city continuously being battered by sea waves. On one side was a white sandy beach, and on the other side were towering lush green mountain peaks. The whole terrain—from south to north—had continuous rolling hills, flying birds and howling beasts. A modern city was situated here.
It was early spring right now, and mountains
On a beautiful path, cherry blossoms were fluttering on both sides, and as a clear breeze blew in, it brought along a faint fragrant aura. Bulma and Goku were walking along the cherry blossom trail and soon came to the outskirts of the small island city.
"There's no doubt that the place indicated on the radar is nearby."
Bulma and Goku stopped at a place near the coast. The nearby vegetation was carefully trimmed, and the footpath was surrounded by potted flowers. There was only one luxury villa in front of them built according to the terrain.
"Oh no, the fourth dragon ball is definitely in this house. I don't know if I will be able to buy the dragon ball with money!" Bulma suddenly cried out. Anything that could be solved with money wasn't a problem for Bulma, but looking at villa's appearance, the owner didn't seem like someone that lacked money, causing her to be at a loss of what to do.
As Bulma was feeling dejected and carefully planning her next course of action, Goku felt that the house was beautiful and couldn't understand Bulma's worries. He strutted towards the luxury villa, pushed open the door and went in. Seeing that Bulma did not follow him, he turned around and asked, "Hey, Bulma, are you coming or not?"
"Stupid, this is someone else's house. It's not good to just barge in!" Bulma called out a few times, but seeing that Goku didn't stop, she had no choice but to follow him.
After entering the luxurious villa, Bulma and Goku walked around the courtyard for a while. Bulma saw a towering rock garden, unusual plants, and various kinds of colorful flowers in the courtyard, which weren't inferior to the one in Bulma's home in West City.
"This family seems to be very rich; I don't know if they will give the dragon ball to us," Bulma muttered as she walked. She hated this kind of situation the most. If the dragon ball was found deep in a forest, then it would definitely be hers, but now, it was very obvious that this dragon ball was in someone else's home.
Bypa.s.sing the rock garden, Bulma and Goku saw a girl in a green dress humming a song while happily pouring water on the flowers. Noticing that two strangers had come in, the girl was slightly surprised. She stopped what she was doing and walked over.
"Who are you?" Blue-haired Launch c.o.c.ked her head and asked curiously. At this moment, she noticed the brown tail behind Goku, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She remembered Xiaya's instructions and said, "Wait a moment, I will go call someone." After saying that, she put down the watering can, and then, her figure blurred, suddenly disappearing from their sight.
"It's over… it's all over! She will definitely go and report to the police," Bulma anxiously babbled.
Goku, however, looked towards the direction that Launch had disappeared to and said with a grave expression, "I feel that this person is very impressive!"
Bulma was dumbfounded; she hit Goku's head and roared in anger, "Why are you paying attention to these useless things at such a time…"
"It hurts! Why are you hitting me?" Goku rubbed his head and looked at Bulma in dissatisfaction.
Soon, Launch came out of a room, followed by three people.
Walking in the middle was a blonde-haired and green-eyed young man. The young man looked handsome and had a charming temperament, making it difficult for people to forget after seeing him once; he was flanked on both sides by two very beautiful ladies. Their exquisite face seemed to be have been a carefully crafted work of art, pretty and fascinating, and their beautiful hair naturally hung down to their chest, emitting a valiant and heroic bearing. They were Xiaya, Xiling, and Myers.
"These two are so beautiful!" Bulma saw the two girls beside Xiaya and was slightly depressed. She had seen a lot of beautiful girls, and she isn't ashamed to say that she is also beautiful; however, these two girls in front of her—who looked delicate yet had a valiant and heroic bearing—were extremely rare, such that she didn't recover until Goku gently pulled her back.
Female Saiyans were not as barbaric as Male Saiyans, and although they were also the valiant and fighting types, female Saiyans were also beautiful women, with Xiling and Myers as one of the best.
"Why are you two here?" Xiaya sized Bulma and Goku up with interest.
'Beautiful looks, more than 1.6m in height, and light purple hair— these are indeed the traits of Dr Brief's family,' Xiaya mused. At the age of sixteen, Bulma was at her peak and most energetic times, and she was more beautiful and youthful than the Bulma of the other world who was nearly middle-aged.
Xiaya looked towards Goku, and could not help but smile. With just a glance, he had clearly seen everything about Goku. At this time, Goku unexpectedly had a Battle Power of 140, which was much stronger than when he partic.i.p.ated in the twenty-first World Martial Arts Tournament in the original work.
"Umm…" When she saw the owner of the villa coming out, Bulma didn't know what to say even after reaching this crucial moment.
Whereas, Goku didn't have such worries; the innocent and honest him got right to the point and stated his purpose, "We have come to look for the dragon ball. Have you seen a bead like this?" After saying this, he took out his four-star dragon ball from his bosom and showed it to Xiaya.
"It's a very beautiful gla.s.s ball." Xiaya took the four-star dragon ball and fiddled with it as he feigned ignorance. Like an old scholar, he held the dragon ball towards the sunlight and inspected it seriously.
"Hahaha!" Seeing him like this, Xiling couldn't help but laugh. "All right, Xiaya, don't tease them. If they want the dragon ball, just give it to them."
Xiaya laughed, he still wanted to tease them, but since Xiling had spoken, then forget it.
"Goku, Bulma, long time no see!" Xiaya smiled and greeted them.
"Hm? How do you know our names?" Bulma was startled seeing that Xiaya was aware of their names. 'Could he be an acquaintance?' Bulma racked her brain. It must be known that the Capsule Corporation was the world's number one corporation, and there were not many high-ranking people that they didn't know of. 'From this Xiaya's luxury villa, I can tell that he must be very rich. Also, since he knows me, then it won't be strange if he has some relations.h.i.+p with my family. But… how did he know Goku's name?'
Bulma was puzzled as she knew that Goku was nothing more than an ordinary child from the mountains.
Xiaya said, "Haha, it's normal that you have forgotten. You were only five or six years old when we met last time. But you must know about the Planet Hongshan Corporation, right?"
Bulma rolled her violet-blue eyes as she recalled the name—Planet Hongshan Corporation. It was a corporation that had a deep collaboration with the Capsule Corporation. Bulma had heard that the high-level members of the Planet Hongshan Corporation had a very good relations.h.i.+p with her sister, Tights, but she didn't know where the headquarters of the Planet Hongshan Corporation was located.
"Oh, so it's you!" Bulma smiled in delight and pretended to be aware of Xiaya's ident.i.ty.
Anyway, whether they really knew him or not, if they had some relations.h.i.+p with him, it would be easier to get the dragon ball.
However, Xiaya easily saw through Bulma's facade, but he didn't plan to fuss about it with her. He turned around and asked Goku, "Goku, no, maybe I should call you Kakarrot; how is your grandfather, Gohan?"
"Do you know my Grandpa? He has pa.s.sed away more than a year ago…" Goku was a little surprised, however, he felt that this person was somewhat familiar. As for the name, Kakarrot, mentioned by Xiaya, he did not have any impression of it, so he was puzzled; however, his bewilderment was quickly replaced by sadness as he recalled Gohan's death.
"Dead?" Xiaya was not surprised.
"Umm, he died from sickness," Goku affirmed.
Xiaya nodded, no longer saying anything. He couldn't help but sigh. Even though Xiaya had already reminded Grandpa Gohan to pay attention to the full moon, who would have thought that he would still die; Although he did not die in the hands of Goku who had transformed into Great Ape just like in the original work, he still died in the end.
'People get sick and die, and even martial artists are no exception. Also, Gohan didn't eat any medicine to stop aging like Master Ros.h.i.+. Indeed, no one can resist old age… ' Xiaya mused.
He glanced at Goku again and nodded, 'Gohan died many years later than in the original work, so he has already taught a lot of essential martial arts to Goku. It's no wonder that Goku is much stronger here than in original work; furthermore, it seems that his knowledge of the world has also increased a lot.'
Xiaya knew that this Goku was very different from the one in the original work. Although he was still very honest and sincere and his appearance did not seem to have changed much, he was much more familiar with how to conduct himself in society. At least he was not completely a blank sheet of paper, not even knowing the most basic differences between men and women.
Of course, he was still not all that well knowledgeable.
Xiaya stepped forward, patted Goku's shoulder and introduced himself and the others to Bulma and Goku, "My name is Xiaya, and this beautiful girl with blue hair is called Launch, while the other two beside me are called Xiling and Myers; both of them are my wives. "
"h.e.l.lo."
"Hi!"
Launch, Xiling, and Myers greeted Bulma and Goku; especially Myers, she curiously sized up Goku—just like one would upon encountering a rare treasure—and mused, "So, this guy is Bardock's son! He can also become Super Saiyan in future?"
"He actually has two wives!" Unlike Myers who was curious, Bulma was shocked at the moment.
She silently cursed in her heart, 'These two sisters with fairy-like looks are actually married to the same person? Rich people are really lecherous!'
'He is definitely a womanizer! I had better stay far away from him.'
Bulma's gaze swung back and forth between Xiling and Myers for a while, and then, she furtively took a few steps away from Xiaya. She had seen a lot of wealthy people like them. According to her understanding, these kind of people's private lives were extremely dissolute, so she had to be careful.
Xiaya naturally didn't know that his introduction had left such a bad impression on Bulma, but even if he found out, he wouldn't care. Besides, to enjoy a happy life with several partners, one had to naturally pay something in some aspects.
"Hey, did you just say… that you would give the dragon ball to me?" Remembering the purpose of her trip, Bulma narrowed her eyes and asked, pretending to be harmless.
Upon hearing this, Xiaya smiled and said, "Of course, I can give you the dragon ball." After saying that, he cast a meaningful glance towards Myers; who grinned and took out a dragon ball with five stars on it.
Before Bulma could get it, this five-star dragon ball was discovered by Myers in a deep mountain when she came to Earth.
"Ah! it's the five-star dragon ball!" Bulma saw the dragon ball, her eyes s.h.i.+ning. She reached out her hand, intending to take it, but Myers, however, pulled back her hand.
"Hey, didn't you say that you would give the dragon ball to us? Don't play tricks on us!" Bulma shouted in a cute manner.
Myers stepped forward and mischievously put her arms around Bulma's shoulder and said, with the look of a female hooligan, "We can give you the dragon ball, but not for free."
She then glanced at Goku on the side, and continued, "That little boy's kung fu seems to be quite good. How about he has a spar with Launch? It will help us broaden our horizons. And, whatever the outcome may be, we will still give you the dragon ball; how about it?"
"Really?" Bulma was surprised that there was such a condition. She suddenly smiled in delight. She understood Little Goku's strength; plus, fighting was definitely his speciality, so she hurriedly agreed.
"Goku, I'll leave it to you, so do well!" Bulma cheered Goku.
Goku grimaced and stared fixedly at the blue-haired Launch with a dignified look and said, "I can feel that this sister is very powerful, just like Master Ros.h.i.+."
Bulma was shocked and asked in surprise, "No way! Then, can you win?"
"I don't know!" Goku replied honestly.
Goku was not sure if he could win against Launch, but the more pressure he came under, the more his fighting spirit seemed to be stimulated. His hands eagerly struck each other, as the corners of his mouth quickly curved into an arc. With Goku's current strength, if Xiaya and the others did not voluntarily release their aura, he would not be able to feel it.
Blue-haired Launch originally thought that all these had nothing to do with her, but when she saw that the conversation had steered towards her, she flailed her hands and protested, "I just like to do housework. Things like fighting, I don't know."
"Launch, you can do it. Quickly go and fight with Kakarrot!" Myers egged her.
"Wuuu, let the blonde me do it!" Blue-haired Launch grasped her hair, placed it beside her nostril and shook them.
Achoo!
She sneezed and suddenly turned into Blonde Launch.
In fact, as Blonde Launch's strength increased, Blue-haired Launch's const.i.tution was also getting stronger; such that it wouldn't be a problem for her to deal with the martial artists on Earth. However, Blue-haired Launch had no awareness regarding this at all. Whenever it came to fighting, she would immediately call on her other self, causing her to lose to Goku, Tien s.h.i.+nhan and others in mentality.
"Hey, you finally let me out, so can I go rob again?" Immediately after Blonde Launch appeared, she exposed her nature.
Xiaya couldn't help but laugh as he pointed at Goku and described the situation, "As long as you can have a light spar with this boy and give him some pressure, I will allow you to do whatever you want in the remaining time."
"He is Gine's son, so don't go too far," Xiaya moved close to Blonde Launch and whispered in her ears. Blonde Launch was shocked on hearing that Goku was Gine's son, her eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
Blonde Launch began training at Korin's place at the age of eight, and did so for a full ten years. Also, as she lived on Planet Hongshan with Saiyans for few years, her Battle Power had now reached 480. She was already a one-of-kind expert amongst the people of Earth, and even the Kami of Earth was no match for her.
But after learning that her opponent was Gine's son, the son of a woman who looks weak, Blonde Launch was both excited and somewhat scared, as even the weakest adult female Saiyan could slap her to death with one hand.
She had suffered too much from the Saiyans on Planet Hongshan, so she had grievances in her heart. Now, she finally had the chance to defeat a Saiyan with her own hands!
"Hey, let's get started!"
Blonde Launch stepped forward and cried out, happily sizing up Goku.
"Okay!" Goku removed the Power Pole from behind him and handed it to Bulma, and then, he excitedly jumped in front of Blonde Launch.
"Heh heh!" Blonde-haired Launch suddenly laughed cheerfully like a silvery bell. But the next second, the aura around her whole body drastically changed. Her aura became turbulent and stirred up whirlwinds. A heavy pressure like that of Mt. Tai immediately pushed down on Goku.
Goku trembled, and his entire body tensed as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Launch's aura is somewhat intimidating for the current Kakarrot," Xiling commented in a soft voice.
Goku's current Battle Power was only 140, which could be said to be neither strong nor weak, only a little average. This was the time when he would be most sensitive to the outside aura. If he doesn't reach this stage, his energy wouldn't be complete, and he won't be able to make use of it to break through. But if he pa.s.ses through this stage, then his energy would be able to gather in his body, so he wouldn't need to be afraid that his imposing aura will disperse during a breakthrough.
The aura of Blonde Launch's 480 Battle Power was particularly oppressive to Goku.
Xiaya slightly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Kakarrot is also a Saiyan, so he should be able to easily withstand such a small amount of pressure." Xiaya knew that Goku always grew under pressure, which may be one of the reasons why he could exceed his limits time after time.
"But as a Saiyan, Kakarrot's current Battle Power is pitifully low," Myers frowned and said. As a born genius with outstanding talent, if it wasn't that she knew Kakarrot would eventually become a Super Saiyan, Myers wouldn't have the least interest in such a weak Saiyan child.
But that's exactly what made Myers take him more seriously. She actually wanted to see if this child, who was at bottom of the low-level warriors, would eventually be able to do something that will give him the hope to counterattack.
During the time that Xiaya, Xiling and Myers were talking, the battle between Goku and Blonde Launch had begun.
However, it was more appropriate to call it a one-sided beating than a battle. Whether it was strength or speed, Goku was far inferior to Launch. It was different from when Tien s.h.i.+nhan and Launch had fought, at least at that time, the Battle Power of both sides had still been at a similar stage, so it ended up being more of a contest of fighting skills.
However, as Goku and Blonde Launch fought—due to their different levels of power—Goku's successive attacks were as if they had entered a swamp, producing not even the slightest bit of effect; they were easily received by Blonde Launch.
Of course, Blonde Launch also remembered that Xiaya had told her beforehand to not use her full strength in the battle, otherwise, Goku would have been defeated instantly.
"Hehe, this little guy is Aunt Gine's son, so I have to properly temper him," Blonde Launch smiled and muttered, but her eyes shone with an icy light.
During her time on Planet Hongshan, she was taken care of by Gine, and now it was time for her to reciprocate it little by little.
The sounds of fierce fighting resounded from time to time in the courtyard. Both sides fought at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eyes of ordinary people. One purple and one green light ray continuously flashed in the courtyard. The sounds could be heard but the fighters could not be seen, which would cause people to be dazzled.
"Come on, Goku!"
On the side, Bulma cheered for Goku as she looked at him in bewilderment.
Her large violet-blue eyes were glimmering with a strange light as if she had discovered a new world. She never thought that the fight between martial artists could be so wonderful. Although she couldn't understand anything, the repeated exchange between them was a feast for her eyes.
"Goku is actually so powerful!" Bulma was shocked at first but became numb to it after awhile. Her heart was rippling like the surface of a lake when a pebble had been thrown into it. She was becoming more and more excited.
'Goku, this little guy is short, and he is also like a little brother; however, he is frighteningly powerful,' Bulma praised in her heart.
'Well, he is quite simple, and is just a little young!' Bulma mused. The more she watched, the happier she felt. A smile appeared at the corners of her mouth, as she waved her hands to cheer for Goku.
