"Th-This... where was this?"

Su Xuan opened his eyes and woke up, only to find himself in an unfamiliar room.

Then a sudden, piercing pain struck his head, and a flood of memories surged into his mind like a tidal wave.

He had transmigrated—and into the world of Dragon Ball, no less—becoming Son Goku's second son, Son Goten.

He was currently six years old, though he would turn seven in a little over twenty days.

That meant there were less than five months left until Majin Buu appeared.

"Ding! Host bloodline confirmed. Beginning binding process!"

Just as Su Xuan was thinking this, an electronic synthesized voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.

"A system!"

Su Xuan was overjoyed when he heard it.

Transmigrators usually came with a system or some kind of Golden Finger. The novels had not lied to him.

Before long, the system finished binding itself to him, and a blue interface appeared before Su Xuan.

Name: Son Goten Gender: Male Age: 6 Bloodline: Saiyan-Earthling hybrid Battle Power: Current Spacetime: Dragon Ball Hyperdimension

"Dragon Ball Hyperdimension?"

"Yes, Master!"

"So, System, what can you do?"

"Ahem!"

The system cleared its throat.

"I can make you stronger by defeating opponents!"

"Stronger by defeating opponents?"

"That's right. As long as Master defeats an opponent of the same rank, you can obtain an Advancement Card and their skills!"

"An Advancement Card?"

"Yes. For example, if Master defeats Super Saiyan 1 Trunks, you can obtain a Super Saiyan 2 Advancement Card.

"After using that Advancement Card, your strength will reach the Super Saiyan 2 level!"

"That's freaking awesome!"

"Mm!"

"What if I defeat someone weaker than me?"

"You can still obtain their moves and abilities!"

Knock, knock, knock!

Just then, a knock suddenly came from outside the door.

"Goten, it's already two o'clock. Time to get up!"

"Okay!"

Su Xuan answered, quickly climbed out of bed, and secretly told himself,

From today onward, I am Son Goten!

Afterward, Son Goten washed up in the bathroom and headed to the back mountain to train.

He had only just transmigrated and was still unfamiliar with Son Goten's body, so he needed to adapt to it first.

Whoosh...

Tap...

Son Goten leaped upward, his fists whipping through the air as he threw powerful punches forward.

"So fast!"

As he spoke, Son Goten raised his right leg and rapidly kicked upward and downward, then switched to his left leg and repeated the motions.

After warming up a little, Son Goten began practicing the Flight Technique based on the Dragon Ball anime he had watched.

According to Dragon Ball, the key to the Flight Technique was to gather one's energy and focus one's mind, then control one's ki to fly through the sky.

Son Goten stood still in deep concentration for a while, and then his body slowly rose into the air.

"I did it!"

Son Goten happily controlled his ki and flew forward.

Before long, Son Goten was faster than the birds flying through the sky.

Whoosh...

Tap...

Son Goten landed on the ground and suddenly clenched both fists tightly.

"Hah!"

With a loud shout, Son Goten's hair and eyebrows turned golden. Apart from his bangs, all the hair on his head stood straight up, his pupils became light green, and a golden aura flared around his body.

This was the Super Saiyan transformation.

Son Goten let out a soft breath and suppressed the aura radiating from his body.

Then, he began training on the back mountain in his Super Saiyan state.

At Son Goku's house.

Gohan was working on practice questions at home when he suddenly sensed the powerful aura Son Goten was giving off while training.

"What an incredible aura. This feels like Goten's ki!"

Gohan looked at the test papers on the table, stood up, and left the room.

Very quickly, Gohan arrived at the back mountain and saw Son Goten transformed into a Super Saiyan.

"Go... Goten!"

Gohan stared at Son Goten with an expression of utter disbelief.

Son Goten was only six years old, yet he could already transform into a Super Saiyan.

Back then, even Gohan had only been able to transform into a Super Saiyan at the age of ten. And that had only been after he underwent extremely rigorous training.

Son Goten nodded and paused his training.

"Go... Goten, when did you learn to transform into a Super Saiyan?"

"When?"

"Last year, when Mom sparred with me once!"

"L-Last year!"

Gohan was shocked once again.

"You mean you had already mastered the Super Saiyan transformation last year?"

"Yeah. Trunks mastered the Super Saiyan transformation even earlier than I did!"

"Tr-Trunks? Then what did you mean when you said Mom sparred with you?"

"Mom used to teach me how to train, but during that spar, I transformed into a Super Saiyan.

"Mom said I had turned into a delinquent too, so she stopped teaching me how to train!"

"Is that so?"

Gohan smiled.

"That's because Mom has always hated Super Saiyan hair and hairstyles!"

"I see!"

"But I really never expected Mom to teach you how to train!"

Gohan spoke with a faint sense of emotion.

Back then, Chi-Chi had strongly opposed him training.

"Goten, you're training, right? How about the two of us have a fight?"

"But don't you need to study, Brother?"

"It's fine, Goten. It won't take much time!"

"Alright, then. But could you go easy on me?"

"Go easy on you?"

"Could you not transform into a Super Saiyan?"

"Of course not!"

"Why not?"

"Because I haven't trained in a long time. But I can let you have three moves!"

"Only three moves?"

"Then ten moves!"

"Could it be a hundred moves instead?"

Son Goten asked with a grin.

"Fine, a hundred moves. But you can't ask for anything more after this!"

Son Goten nodded.

Seeing this, Gohan stepped back and assumed a fighting stance.

"Then, Brother, can we start?"

"Mm!"

Gohan nodded.

"Hah!"

Son Goten shouted and rushed in front of Gohan like the wind, driving both fists forward with force.

Whoosh...

Swish, swish...

Gohan dodged while retreating backward.

Son Goten shouted and threw his right fist forward with all his strength.

Gohan raised both arms and staggered several steps back.

At that moment, Son Goten suddenly vanished and appeared behind Gohan.

"Not good!"

Son Goten leaped into the air and fiercely kicked Gohan in the back with his right leg.

"Aah!"

With a miserable cry, Gohan shot forward like a beam of light and crashed heavily into a mountain ahead of him.

A vast cloud of dust immediately rose around the mountain.

Gohan gritted his teeth and quickly climbed out of the mountain.

At that moment, Son Goten gathered a golden energy wave in his right hand and fired it at Gohan.

Boom!!

With a massive explosion, more than half the mountain was blasted away.

"Huff... huff..."

Gohan panted heavily as he appeared in the sky to the right of the mountain.

Son Goten was startled. Gohan was even stronger than he had imagined.

Just then, Gohan clenched both fists tightly and transformed into a Super Saiyan.

Son Goten frowned slightly, but he still charged toward Gohan.
