"You're so strong!"
The child sensed that He-El's tall, powerful body contained strength even greater than his grandfather's.
His beast-like instincts told him that the tall man before him was incredibly strong. If he had to describe it more specifically, he did not know how; he only felt that this man was even more formidable than his grandfather.
"Want to have a spar?" He-El smiled and walked toward the child. He also wanted to test just how much fighting power he possessed.
In the forest, He-El had trained almost without pause.
However, because he did not understand the nature of Ki in the Dragon Ball universe, and because of the forest's nutrition, as well as the fact that the physique he had adapted was merely that of an ordinary earthling, He-El found it difficult to estimate his own fighting power.
Goku had happened to come along, making him the perfect test.
At this stage, Goku seemed to have only 10 points of fighting power.
But do not underestimate those 10 points. Combined with his Saiyan physique, they gave him defense strong enough that even handgun bullets could not penetrate his flesh. His body was nearly as tough as steel.
Basically, he could already ignore firearms.
But do not assume that 10 points of fighting power meant one could ignore firearms. Goku had been able to do so at 10 points because of his Saiyan physique.
At this stage, whether Goku could withstand bullets had nothing to do with fighting power. It mainly depended on his physique.
When Goku first appeared, he had only 10 points of fighting power. An ordinary person holding a firearm only had 5 points, so he was merely a little stronger than an ordinary person. At that time, Goku was not particularly impressive in martial arts
