"???"
"Broadcast Gymnastics?? Are you fucking kidding me?"
[Please watch your language.]
"..."
Jiang Ling examined the Broadcast Gymnastics in his mind.
At the same time, an audio file arrived on his phone.
Jiang Ling entered the Gravity Training Room and immediately set it to one hundred times gravity.
Of course, this wasn't his limit. He was already used to it.
He just hadn't used the Gravity Training Room in a long time, so he wanted to stretch a little.
Jiang Ling thought about it and decided that Broadcast Gymnastics would be the best way to get his body moving.
Then.
He took out his phone and played the audio file he'd just received.
"Broadcast Gymnastics begins now..."
A familiar voice sounded, and for a moment, Jiang Ling felt as if he'd returned to his old Earth.
His body began moving along with the music, almost of its own accord.
"March in place..."
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."
"Stretching exercises..."
"Three, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Four, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."
After completing the routine, he came to his senses, drenched in sweat.
Thud!
Jiang Ling collapsed onto the floor.
He was completely out of energy!
At his current strength, one hundred times gravity was easy for him.
And Broadcast Gymnastics was a very simple exercise!
How could it have drained him so completely?
Jiang Ling couldn't make sense of it.
He popped a Senzu Bean.
His stamina was instantly restored!
At the same time, his Saiyan talent helped him make considerable progress in his training!
Broadcast Gymnastics seemed to be a great help to his cultivation!
He turned off the gravity.
Jiang Ling climbed into bed.
All he wanted now was a good night's sleep.
Even after eating a Senzu Bean, he still wanted to sleep.
He'd drunk too much the night before, and his butt was also completely worn out from exercising just now.
He fell onto the bed and was asleep in a second!
His deeply exhausted sleeping face stirred a feeling of tenderness.
Before he knew it, time had flown by.
The Earth's fighters were all undergoing grueling training.
They knew that unless they defeated the Androids, they would never have a moment's peace.
Jiang Ling spent the next few months training. He wanted to go back and see whether Bulma was still angry.
After all, he missed her.
It had to be said that Jiang Ling's feelings for Bulma ran deep.
She was his first woman, and he loved her dearly.
Just as Jiang Ling was about to set off, Bulma came to his little courtyard.
"Hey, Jiang Ling."
Jiang Ling grinned. "I'm here."
"Let's stop giving each other the silent treatment. I don't like it."
Jiang Ling ran his fingers through her blue, shoulder-length hair and smiled tenderly. "I agree. I've wanted to say that for a long time."
"Then why didn't you come see me? I'm the one who had to come to you."
"Ah, I was afraid you were still... angry..."
Bulma shook her head and lowered it. "I'm not angry anymore. I've missed you so much."
Jiang Ling was moved. It took a lot of courage for a girl to say something like that!
He held Bulma tightly, unwilling to let go.
Their body heat rose, and the atmosphere grew increasingly intimate.
Bulma felt something stirring down there and blushed.
She chided him, "We just ended our cold war, and you're already thinking about that..."
Jiang Ling explained, feeling wronged.
"I can't help it... I haven't seen you in months. Maybe it missed you, and your scent is making me... You know."
"Hehe, no naughty stuff! I'm on my period!"
"Holy shit!!"
Two and a half years passed in the blink of an eye.
With a beautiful woman by his side, Jiang Ling's training hadn't fallen behind. His strength had soared.
One day.
Jiang Ling was doing one-handed push-ups.
Suddenly, someone outside the Gravity Training Room called out to him.
Jiang Ling's expression shifted, and he appeared beside the person who had called.
It was Goku and Gohan.
"Jiang Ling, let's go. It's time."
"Okay."
Jiang Ling nodded, looking at Goku's now more mature expression with a dazed gaze.
Goku was looking more and more like a father.
Jiang Ling turned to Gohan.
He asked with a smile,
"Gohan, you've grown a little taller over these three years."
"So what? I'm still young. There's no reason I can't grow taller than you one day, Uncle."
"Haha, I'll be waiting."
Jiang Ling laughed.
"Let's go."
The other two nodded.
The three set off together.
They ran into their companions along the way.
When they reached the city the Androids were about to attack, they stopped by a cliff.
A little while later, Piccolo, Yamcha, and the others arrived one after another.
Vegeta was the last to show up.
He wore a sour expression and didn't join them, instead closing his eyes to rest off to the side.
Jiang Ling stepped forward and cleared his throat.
"Since everyone's here, I'll keep the briefing short."
"The ones wreaking havoc in the city below aren't Android 17 and 18, but 19 and Android 20!"
"That's all!"
Everyone stared at him in confusion.
That was it? He'd only told them half the story. Was he messing with them?
Piccolo, the team's strategist, stepped forward.
He began laying out their battle plan.
Jiang Ling stepped aside.
The corners of his mouth curled up.
Why hadn't he killed the Androids three years ago, putting an end to all this once and for all?
Jiang Ling figured he'd be better off letting them grow stronger before killing them.
Besides, 18 was one of his childhood idols!
He wanted to see if he could win her heart...
So he didn't want to interfere too much with the plot.
In fact, history had already changed without him realizing it.
Ever since he and Bulma had gotten together!
Piccolo was still explaining their battle plan.
"That's the plan. Does everyone understand?"
"Understood!"
"Good! Split up! Search for the Androids!"
Piccolo waved his hand, and everyone scattered, heading into the city to search for the Androids!
Once they found them, they were to power up so their nearby companions could come running.
They mustn't try to handle them alone!
Otherwise, they'd die without even leaving a body behind!
Jiang Ling shook his head, jumped off the cliff, and rushed into the city to search for the Androids.
The two Androids were easy to recognize: one was tall and skinny, while the other was short and fat.
Jiang Ling entered the crowd and looked around coldly.
They weren't there!
So he searched elsewhere.
People hurried through the city in every direction, each going about their business...
