BOOM!

A moment later, Son Goten's flying kick sent Gohan crashing heavily to the ground.

The ground immediately erupted in a massive cloud of dust.

When the dust settled, Gohan slowly pushed himself up from the ground, looking up at Son Goten in the sky.

This is what you call a slight power increase?

Son Goten's showing off, I give him full marks.

Gohan glanced at the sky; it was almost noon, so he decided not to hold back anymore and use his full strength to defeat Son Goten.

With that thought, Gohan clenched his fists tightly, and an incredibly astonishing aura erupted from his entire body, rapidly ascending.

The surrounding ground, affected by Gohan's aura, immediately began to shake violently.

Large amounts of sand and rocks were blown into the air by the aura emanating from Gohan's body.

"Ah!"

Gohan roared loudly, and his aura suddenly surged upwards.

Immediately after, Gohan's hair became even more spiky, his flame-like aura transformed into a blazing fire, and lightning crackled around his body.

This was Super Saiyan 2.

BANG!

Once the transformation was complete, Gohan immediately unleashed his aura outwards.

Kami's Lookout.

Piccolo, who was meditating, immediately opened his eyes upon sensing Gohan's powerful aura.

"Dende, did something happen? Why is Gohan suddenly emitting such a powerful aura?"

"No, Gohan and Goten are sparring!"

"Sparring? You mean Gohan transformed into a Super Saiyan and still couldn't beat Goten?"

Dende nodded.

Upon hearing this, Piccolo gritted his teeth, feeling a pang of jealousy.

He remembered a time when he was the feared King Piccolo.

Now, he had been surpassed by Son Goku and the others one by one. It would be a lie to say he wasn't jealous.

West City, Bulma's House.

Vegeta also felt Gohan's aura at this moment, but he paid it no mind, as his current strength had long since surpassed Gohan's.

Mount Paozu.

Son Goten looked at the transformed Gohan, a faint smile appearing on his face as he said.

"Super Saiyan 2, huh? In that case, I'll transform into Super Saiyan 2 as well!"

"Transform into Super Saiyan 2?"

Gohan was shocked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Son Goten clenched his fists tightly, and an incredibly astonishing aura erupted from his entire body, rapidly ascending.

"Ah!"

With a mighty roar, Son Goten transformed into Super Saiyan 2.

"Su... Super Saiyan 2!"

Gohan was greatly alarmed.

Son Goten had actually achieved Super Saiyan 2, just like him.

He knew that even he had only mastered Super Saiyan 2 when he was ten years old.

And that was after over a year of intense training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Including the time spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he was actually eleven.

And how old was Son Goten?

Seven years old! He could already transform into Super Saiyan 2 at the age of seven.

He was now struggling to imagine what level of strength Son Goten would reach if he continued to train.

Kami's Lookout.

Piccolo's face immediately showed a hint of shock as he watched Son Goten transform into Super Saiyan 2.

He had wondered why he couldn't defeat Son Goten before; it turned out Son Goten's strength had long since far surpassed his own.

West City, Bulma's House.

Vegeta, who was still training in the gravity room, immediately showed a look of surprise upon sensing Son Goten's aura, saying.

"Trunks, is this Goten's ki?"

"Y-yes, it seems to be. But how did his ki get so strong? Did he go somewhere for special training?"

"Goten's ki is already stronger than Gohan's!"

"Goten's ki is stronger than Brother Gohan's ki?"

Vegeta nodded.

"That boy Gohan hasn't trained since he defeated Cell. He's much weaker now than he was back then!"

"Is that so!"

Vegeta nodded.

"So Trunks, whatever you do, don't be like Gohan!"

Hearing this, Trunks didn't know what to say for a moment.

It was because he didn't really enjoy the tediousness of training.

Thinking this, Trunks suddenly felt a bit of "hatred" for Son Goten.

If it weren't for him, Vegeta wouldn't have dragged him here to train.

Mount Paozu.

After a moment of shock, Gohan asked Son Goten, who was in the sky.

"Goten, when did you achieve Super Saiyan 2?"

"Just three days ago!"

"Is that so!"

"Then, Brother, shall we continue fighting?"

"Oh... alright!"

Seeing this, Son Goten raised his left hand and used his superpower to immobilize Gohan's body.

"I... I can't move my body!"

Gohan was startled.

The next second, Son Goten appeared in front of Gohan and kicked him flying.

With a loud boom, Gohan's body shot out like a laser and slammed heavily into the mountain behind him.

The mountain immediately erupted with a large amount of sand and rocks.

When the dust settled, Gohan immediately climbed out of the mountain.

"Goten, what was that just now? Why couldn't I move my body all of a sudden?"

"That was controlling superpower!"

"Controlling superpower?"

"Yeah, it's a superpower I suddenly gained about a month ago for some reason!"

Superpowers are unscientific, and the chance of them appearing is very, very small.

So even though Gohan had some doubts, he could only choose to believe.

Because even with the technology in the Dragon Ball world, they couldn't fully understand why some people developed superpowers.

"Is that so!"

As Gohan spoke, his figure flashed, and in an instant, he appeared in front of Son Goten and attacked.

"Whoosh..."

Son Goten's figure flashed, instantly appearing hundreds of meters behind him, and Gohan's right punch missed.

Son Goten raised his left hand and used his superpower again to immobilize Gohan's body.

"I... I can't move my body again!"

Gohan said, struggling with all his might.

But no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free from Son Goten's control.

In the end, he had no choice but to surrender.

"I surrender!"

Son Goten nodded and lowered his left hand.

Then, he reverted to his normal state.

Gohan, seeing this, also returned to his normal state.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for defeating Gohan and obtaining a Super Saiyan Third Grade Advancement Card, learning Kamehameha... and 100 Senzu Beans!"

Upon hearing this, Son Goten immediately used the Super Saiyan Third Grade Advancement Card.

Son Goten immediately felt an incredibly powerful force surge within him.

Just then, Son Goten suddenly heard Chi-Chi's voice.

"Gohan, Goten, dinner's ready!"

"So, Goten, shall we go back and eat?"

Son Goten nodded.

On the way back, Gohan spoke to Goten with a touch of emotion.

"I wish Dad were here. He'd be so happy to see how strong you are now!"
