Time ticked away, bit by bit.

For Raditz, he was becoming increasingly impatient.

The speed was too slow, and he had no idea how far the destination was. Aside from following along, there was nothing he could do.

His lack of patience and eagerness for quick success were consequences of the life pressure he had endured over these years.

Of course, with Lin Chuan there, even if Raditz was unhappy, he had no choice but to endure it.

If the other party hadn't said anything, what could he do?

Not to mention anything else, he now viewed Lin Chuan as his only path to becoming stronger.

As for Kami being able to guide him in his cultivation to become stronger, he deemed that impossible!

A Kami of Earth—even if he were truly a god, so what?

If he were really that impressive, Kakarot wouldn't be the way he was now, not even having a combat power of one thousand.

Lin Chuan was different. Since he had admitted that he was stronger than Vegeta, there was no need to dwell on exactly how strong he was!

With his help, doubling his combat power in a short period, or even increasing it to three or five thousand points within a year, seemed much more promising.

Crossing the plains and traversing a vast ocean, they finally entered a primeval forest with lush vegetation.

Counting from the moment they set off, a full half-hour had already passed.

The reason Lin Chuan was unhurried and calm was, in part, to take this time to properly feel the growth in strength brought about by the Infinite Combat Power Enhancement System.

Combat Power +1 per second.

Although seeing it so often had caused his eyes to blur and become somewhat numb, the growth of his own strength—leveling up every few minutes—was truly enjoyable.

By now, Lin Chuan's combat power index had already reached as high as 21,675 points.

In just over thirty-seven minutes, an increase of 2,225 points in combat power.

It could be said that after surpassing 20,000 points of combat power, Lin Chuan felt a much broader horizon.

Previously, his combat power had hovered around 15,000, and he had found it difficult to make any progress...

Compared to now, it was simply like heaven and earth!

No wonder. In the original story, Dodoria's battle power of 22,000 was enough to crush Vegeta and Cui, who had battle powers of 18,000.

Lin Chuan now feels that his current self could easily trample his former self, who had a battle power of 18,000.

Not to mention his strength back when he was at 15,000.

"Big brother, Lin Chuan, we're here." As Son Goku's voice rang out, the speed of their flight, which had been racing along, slowed down abruptly.

Looking out, deep within an endless forest, a stone pillar towered toward the sky!

Without a doubt, this was Earth's Korin Tower.

When it first appeared in the early Dragon Ball storyline, it was so mysterious and incredible.

It was only later, when it stopped appearing on screen, that it was forgotten by many.

Everyone's impression of Korin Tower remained fixed on the Senzu Beans held by Korin at the top of the tower.

To be honest, the original purpose of Korin Tower was designed as a place for martial artists to hone their strength and train.

One after another, they descended from the sky. Lin Chuan didn't say anything, but Raditz couldn't wait to shout out: "We're finally here? This is the so-called Kami??? Don't joke around, Kakarot. Didn't you say it was a Namekian? This Earthling's battle power is only 50."

"That's not it, big brother. Kami lives in the Lookout above the clouds. This is the warrior who protects the Sacred Land of Korin, named Bora." Son Goku stepped forward to explain: "It's so nostalgic. Come to think of it, I haven't been here in many years..."

Afterward, he greeted Bora and the group of protectors of the Sacred Land.

After clarifying their identities and the situation, Bora and the others clearly lowered their guard.

After all, in their minds, Son Goku was the hero who had successfully challenged Korin Tower, and years ago, he had even been summoned by Kami and become his messenger.

Revisiting the old place, it wasn't just Son Goku; Krillin and Master Roshi were both filled with emotion.

Especially Master Roshi—at the thought of what he had done when he reached the top of the tower in his youth, he couldn't help but blush, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

He only hoped that when he saw Kami this time, these embarrassing stories wouldn't be brought up.

"Are we just waiting here for Mr. Popo to come down and pick us up, Goku?" Krillin stood beside Son Goku and asked.

He was still somewhat worried, his eyes constantly darting between Lin Chuan and Raditz.

That was just his personality. Son Goku understood, but didn't take it to heart, saying: "No need to worry, Krillin. Besides, Kami has already sensed our arrival, so Mr. Popo will be down soon."

"Oh, right! Come to think of it, during the last World Martial Arts Tournament, didn't you tell me you challenged Korin Tower and succeeded?" Son Goku's sudden question made Krillin a bit angry.

"What is it! You really don't listen when people talk. You even answered me seriously back then. It wasn't just me; Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha all challenged it successfully, and we all met Korin at the top of the tower." Krillin rolled his eyes and said.

This response made Son Goku scratch his head in awkward laughter.

Son Goku's thought process was that if he had remembered incorrectly and Krillin hadn't challenged Korin Tower, then it would be worth a try; after all, it was good training.

But since it had been a success, that was a different story.

In truth, with Krillin's current strength, challenging this was indeed effortless.

He had at least over 200 Battle Power, and that wasn't even Krillin's full extent.

The wait didn't last long.

In less than two minutes, a shadow appeared in the sky. It was Mr. Popo maneuvering a magic carpet, descending rapidly toward the ground.

"Bat, Battle Power!! 1030!!!" The first to speak, once again, was Raditz.

The moment Mr. Popo arrived before them, the Scouter worn over Raditz's eye reported Mr. Popo's Battle Power value, completely shattering Raditz's perception.

This low-class planet, Earth, actually possessed an existence with a Battle Power exceeding 1000!

For a moment, he began to harbor suspicions about the Kami above.

Previously, it seemed he had underestimated the other party...

As his words fell, everyone except Lin Chuan was struck with shock.

Mr. Popo's Battle Power was as high as 1030.

What kind of concept was this?

Son Goku's Battle Power was only a few hundred; even at his full burst, breaking past one thousand was only for a fleeting moment.

"Th, this is real? Mr. Popo, you actually have such incredible Battle Power?!" Son Goku asked in astonishment.

To this, Mr. Popo showed no emotional fluctuation: "Popo doesn't know either. So Popo's Battle Power actually exceeds 1000."

Such a reaction was truly in line with Mr. Popo's character.

Lin Chuan watched this, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He clearly remembered Mr. Popo's legendary scene in the future...

That was during the Majin Buu era, where Mr. Popo had easily blocked the combined efforts of Son Goten and Trunks as Super Saiyans...

Although the two kids weren't playing for keeps at the time and didn't intend to hurt anyone, even so, it was enough to show just how high Mr. Popo's cultivation truly was.
