Soon, Son Goten rushed in front of Gohan, his fists and feet attacking like lightning.

Gohan dodged and blocked Son Goten's attacks.

"Goten, a hundred moves are already up!"

Gohan reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Son Goten didn't say much but continued to attack.

Gohan clenched his fists tightly and counterattacked Son Goten.

BANG!!

With a heavy kick, Son Goten was sent flying like a ray towards the mountain behind him.

The mountain immediately kicked up a large cloud of dust.

When the dust settled, Son Goten chose to surrender.

Although Gohan hadn't trained for a long time, he had once possessed the strength to defeat Cell. There was no way Son Goten could defeat him with his current strength.

"Goten, you're already very strong. When I was your age, I couldn't even turn Super Saiyan!"

Son Goten nodded.

"It's getting late, and I should go back to study, or Mom will scold me again. You train well!"

Son Goten nodded again.

Seeing this, Gohan immediately turned and flew away.

Son Goten watched Gohan's receding figure and continued to train.

He didn't know how long had passed when a figure flew down from the sky.

It was Trunks.

"Whoosh..."

"Thump..."

Trunks landed in front of Son Goten.

"Goten!"

Son Goten nodded.

"Goten, who were you just fighting?"

"My brother!"

"Your brother?"

"Yeah!"

Son Goten nodded.

"How strong is he?"

"Very strong!"

"Really? I heard my mom say Brother Gohan defeated Cell. He might be stronger than my Dad!"

Son Goten gave a dry laugh.

That was in the past. Gohan's current strength was definitely no match for Vegeta.

"So Goten, what are we doing today? Are we going to catch fish by the waterfall, or go to Mount Paozu to fight big bears?"

Although both Son Goten and Trunks could transform into Super Saiyan, their minds were still those of children.

So their usual entertainment was catching rhinoceros beetles, catching crabs, and fighting lions and bears...

"No, I want to train today!"

"Train?"

"Yeah!"

"Goten, why do you suddenly want to train?"

"It's nothing. I just felt like training after sparring with my brother!"

"I see!"

"Well, if that's the case, I'll train with you too!"

"You too?"

"Yeah, is there a problem?"

"No, no!"

Son Goten shook his head repeatedly.

He had originally wanted to train in secret and surpass Trunks.

Now that Trunks also wanted to train, it would be even harder to surpass him.

However, since the two were evenly matched, Son Goten didn't necessarily have to defeat him purely through strength; he could also use his wits.

The afternoon passed quickly, and before they knew it, the sun in the sky had begun to set in the west.

"Goten, it's getting late. Shall I come back to play with you tomorrow?"

"Okay!"

Son Goten nodded.

Seeing this, Trunks immediately used the Flight Technique and flew towards West City.

Son Goten glanced at the sky and decided to train a little longer.

The next morning.

After breakfast, Son Goten went to the back mountain to train.

Around eight o'clock, Trunks arrived at the back mountain and saw Son Goten training.

"When did this guy become so diligent?"

Trunks muttered to himself, and his body quickly descended beside Son Goten.

"Trunks!"

Son Goten happily greeted Trunks.

Trunks nodded.

"Goten, did you come here to train early this morning?"

Son Goten nodded.

"Goten, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly training so diligently?"

"No, I just heard from my brother about my dad, so I suddenly wanted to train!"

"You mean your deceased father?"

Son Goten nodded.

"Trunks, how about we spar today?"

"Sure!"

After hearing this, Trunks thought for a moment and agreed.

Immediately, both of them took a step back simultaneously.

"Ha!"

With a loud shout, Son Goten transformed into a Super Saiyan.

"Transforming directly into a Super Saiyan!"

Trunks said, and he also transformed into a Super Saiyan state.

Son Goten chuckled, his body quickly charging in front of Trunks, his fists punching forward with all his might.

Trunks dodged while retreating.

Suddenly, Son Goten swept his right leg like a falling leaf, sweeping horizontally towards Trunks.

Trunks didn't expect Son Goten to attack like this, and his body was swept directly to the ground.

However, he quickly propped himself up with his right hand and jumped back.

But before Trunks could feel happy, Son Goten's figure appeared behind him.

Trunks quickly turned around and swung his right fist forward with all his might.

"Whoosh..."

Trunks's right fist passed through empty air where "Son Goten" had been.

The clear figure instantly became blurry.

"Afterimage!"

Trunks's expression changed slightly.

At this moment, the real Son Goten appeared behind Trunks and kicked forward forcefully with his right foot.

Trunks's body immediately shot out like a ray, crashing into a large mountain in front of him.

The mountain immediately erupted with a large amount of dust.

"Damn it!"

Trunks roared in anger, and his body suddenly erupted with a powerful aura, blowing away the surrounding dust.

Seeing this, Son Goten's eyes narrowed slightly.

Just then, Trunks's figure suddenly vanished from his spot.

Son Goten was startled and quickly looked around.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Son Goten and kicked forward with his right foot.

BANG!!

Son Goten was sent flying like a beam into the mountain in front of him.

The mountain immediately kicked up a large cloud of dust.

Trunks smiled, feeling a bit smug.

"Whoosh..."

Just then, a golden energy wave shot out from the dust cloud.

Trunks shifted to his left, dodging it.

BOOM!!

With a massive explosion, the golden energy wave detonated behind Trunks.

Trunks looked at the gradually dissipating dust cloud ahead and found no sign of Son Goten within it.

"What!"

Trunks was startled.

The next second, a figure suddenly appeared behind Trunks and attacked him.

"Whoosh..."

With a soft sound, Son Goten's punch passed through the "Trunks" figure.

"An afterimage!"

"Hehe!"

At that moment, a playful laugh came from behind Son Goten.

Son Goten turned and looked back, seeing Trunks kicking forward with his right foot.

"Whoosh..."

Trunks' right foot passed through the "Son Goten" figure.

"Another afterimage!"
