Goku and Broly
"No wonder it's the Saiyan's planet; the gravity alone is unbearable." Goku collapsed onto the ground, exhausted, sweat pouring down his forehead. Bulma muttered, "Who told you to make things so difficult for yourself? You could have used the Gravity Bracelet to reduce the gravity on your body."
"This is my training; if I give up so easily, how will I ever become stronger?"
"Yes, all you know is training." Bulma looked at Goku with annoyance.
Several months had passed since the King Piccolo incident, and Earth was undergoing intensive reconstruction. Because of this event, the Earth Kingdom recognized the immense power of individual strength, and the importance of martial arts was elevated to a whole new level. People consulted past records and discovered that Earth's martial arts had once enjoyed a glorious period.
Turtle School!
Crane School!
Orin Temple...
Thanks to the tireless promotion by the Earth Kingdom, terms such as "Ki Blast" and "martial arts styles" have entered people's field of vision, and people's understanding of martial arts is finally not so superficial.
There will be no more Ki Blast as some kind of illusion or rocket launcher, and no more veneration for fighters and boxers.
A true master must be able to catch several bullets with their bare hands.
Next, Martial Arts Dojo sprang up all over the world like mushrooms after rain. Although most dojos only taught some fancy moves, there were many that were truly skilled and had a long history.
Due to the surge in the number of martial arts practitioners, the global perception of martial arts is also changing. The overall atmosphere seems to be returning to the glorious days of ancient martial arts. Although most martial arts practitioners only get involved in martial arts out of momentary excitement and passion, and will soon give up due to the hardship of training, as long as some persist, the atmosphere of martial arts on Earth will eventually revive.
At this time, a novel that had caused a sensation many years ago attracted the world's attention. Upon reading the author, people realized that it was an early work by the popular writer Tights.
Tights's novel sparked a craze in the literary world with its wildly imaginative plot, but after the craze subsided, it became unremarkable. It was her later science fiction novel, "The Galaxy Myth," which depicted a magnificent cosmic environment, that made her an instant star.
Now that society has a basic understanding of martial arts, people have picked up that novel again, and the work that incorporates elements of combat power, Korin Tower, and Kami has immediately caused a sensation.
Korin Tower!
The World Martial Arts Tournament!
Yes, these are all real.
Because people already knew that many of the elements in the novel were verifiable, they immediately approached it with reverence. In this way, a novel that had only been popular for a short time was revitalized, and its various settings suddenly became mysterious.
As expected of Miss Tights, she must have consulted countless sources to write this novel!
Of course, all of this was fueled by the Earth Kingdom and Capsule Corporation. Bulma, having been to other planets, knew how cruel the outside world was. To put it bluntly, a weak planet like Earth could be easily conquered by any alien. Living on Earth was truly unsafe!
So Bulma waved her hand and launched another attack.
The promotion of footage from the 21st and 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament further fueled people's enthusiasm for martial arts. As participants in both World Martial Arts Tournament, Goku, Krillin, Launch, Tien Shinhan, and others became wildly popular. Goku, in particular, was both the World Martial Arts Tournament champion and a hero who saved the world, making news about him an instant hot topic.
Goku ignored the news and continued to hone his skills, but training on Earth was no longer enough to improve his power. So, at Bulma's suggestion, Goku went with her to Planet Sadala.
"Bulma, there's so much powerful ki on this planet!" Goku exclaimed excitedly.
Bulma flicked her purple hair across her forehead. "Of course, this is Planet Sadala, the headquarters of a cosmic-level superpower. Anyone here would be an invincible expert on Earth."
"Yes, I believe you." Goku looked at Bulma sincerely.
"..."
Bulma paused for a moment, her cheeks flushing slightly. As she turned eighteen, Goku had entered his growth period and had grown to be about the same height as Bulma in just a few months (Goku was 3 years old when Planet Vegeta was destroyed and 15 years old when he participated in the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament).
"Bulma, what's wrong? You look pale."
He touched Bulma's forehead with his hand.
Bulma stood there in a daze, then embarrassedly swatted Goku's hand away. She then pulled him to her residence on Planet Sadala. "It's nothing. I'll take you to my place. There are lots of advanced training facilities there; you'll definitely like them."
Upon hearing that Bulma had training equipment, Goku immediately shifted his attention and slowly walked with Bulma towards the Saiyan settlement.
The gravity on Planet Sadala is 15 times that of Earth. By the time he reached Bulma's residence, Goku was already panting heavily, catching his breath.
"I'm so tired, just like when my grandpa trained me when I was a kid."
"Hehe, who told you not to wear the gravity adjustment bracelet? You don't even look as good as me!" Bulma tilted her head and laughed at Goku.
"Of course I'm different from you, you're a woman."
Bulma blinked, a ripple of emotion flashing in her eyes. She gently helped Goku up. "This is your first time on Planet Sadala, there must be many things you don't know. Rest for a while, and I'll show you around."
"Great!" Goku laughed happily.
The two rested in the room for a while, and after about half a day, Goku gradually adapted. His childhood resistance to gravity began to recover, and he was no longer as disheveled as when he first arrived on Planet Sadala. This was mainly due to his current strength. It should be noted that Goku had long since completed his training at the Kami's Lookout's Lookout, and his current power was not far from what he had at the beginning of Dragon Ball Z in the original story.
"Goku, do you see those oval-shaped buildings? Those are Gravity Training Room; Saiyan love to train in them."
"And those open-air Martial Arts Dojo, where people are having matches."
Bulma kept introducing Goku to the situation on Planet Sadala. Goku took it all in, like a down-on-his-luck country bumpkin entering a big city, full of curiosity about everything.
With a bang, Goku accidentally bumped into a tall, well-built man, and a burst of energy sent him flying.
"Are you... are you alright?" the man asked apologetically.
Goku slowly got up from the ground. "It's alright, I wasn't paying attention. My name is Goku."
My name is Broly.
Broly stared blankly at Goku, wondering when such a weak Saiyan had arrived on Planet Sadala.
Oh, he doesn't have a tail, so maybe he's not Saiyan.
Broly looked Son Goku up and down, a look of realization flashing in his eyes. His older brother Roland had told him that humans on Earth looked exactly like Saiyan, but they didn't have tails and were pitifully weak in combat.
The boy in front of me is definitely Earthling. Although he can't compare to Saiyan, it's already quite remarkable that he was able to become stronger with his weak Earthling. We shouldn't look down on him. The fact that he was able to cultivate from a weak state shows that he is also a serious cultivator.
Serious practitioners deserve respect... Broly kept Roland's teachings in mind and gave Goku a sincere smile.
