"Alright... there won't be any danger, right?" Bulma asked, trembling.
"It's fine. As long as we keep our distance, there won't be any danger," Master Roshi said with a smile.
"Luo Tian, what do you think?" Bulma asked Luo Tian.
"Hahaha... I'm afraid Luo Tian is scared out of his wits, isn't he? All these years, whenever King Piccolo appeared, Luo Tian just happened to be away. Today, he finally gets to see a terrifying guy..." Krillin laughed.
"Hmph, that's only because Luo Tian didn't want to make a move! If Luo Tian had stepped in, he would have defeated that guy long ago," Bulma retorted angrily.
Don't you dare talk about our Luo Tian like that!
Krillin, you are being absolutely ridiculous.
"Haha, Bulma, you're really something else," Krillin laughed heartily.
"Let's get going. Goku might die in this battle, so you all need to prepare yourselves mentally," Luo Tian mused.
"What?" Master Roshi froze, looking at Luo Tian in surprise.
"Stop joking, Luo Tian. Are you saying Goku will die?" Krillin wiped away his sweat.
"Yes, as I said just now, there is a type of cultivation called 'finding life through death'," Luo Tian replied.
"If Goku dies in battle, what about Raditz? Will he survive?" Krillin asked.
"It is highly likely that the two of them will perish together," Luo Tian said.
Krillin: "..."
Master Roshi: "..."
"Ahem, Luo Tian, when did you learn how to tell fortunes?" Master Roshi asked with a wry smile.
"I've always known how; I just rarely use it," Luo Tian smiled.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. We should hurry and set off," Krillin suggested.
As for Luo Tian's words, neither Krillin nor Master Roshi took them seriously.
Do you really think fortune-telling can be that accurate?
Do you think you're Fortuneteller Baba?
"But then again, it's time to teach Goku Ultra Instinct," Luo Tian pondered.
"What?" Krillin didn't understand.
What is Ultra Instinct?
What is Luo Tian talking about?
"No, this time... I won't let Goku die," Luo Tian said, resting his chin in his hand as he contemplated. "Or perhaps it would be better to teach him Ultra Instinct after he visits King Kai?"
"What are you talking about, Luo Tian?" Krillin asked.
"Nothing, I was just rambling. You don't need to worry about the details," Luo Tian smiled.
Krillin fell silent.
You've been talking to yourself for so long, what on earth are you saying?
Even Bulma was left in a state of confusion.
On a distant grassland.
Raditz's spaceship was parked right there.
Raditz had brought Son Gohan near the spaceship.
Son Gohan, however, wouldn't stop crying.
"It's so noisy, crying non-stop. You have Saiyan blood flowing through your veins, too," Raditz was nearly driven mad by Son Gohan's wailing. He grabbed Son Gohan by his clothes and tossed him into the spaceship, locking him inside. "Now the whole world is finally quiet."
Raditz took flight, deciding to go find something to eat.
"Beep, beep..."
"Hm?"
Just then, the scouter Raditz wore over his eye suddenly emitted a warning signal.
"That's strange. A power level of 710! And it's right nearby!" Raditz's expression changed.
Immediately after, following the indicator on his scouter, Raditz spotted the source of the power level.
"What? Is it that kid?" Raditz's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
This is impossible!
Absolutely impossible.
It must be a malfunction.
When I was his age, my power level was only around 400.
And I had to go through life-and-death battles on that planet with Vegeta just to manage to raise my power level to 500.
This little brat, he hasn't even taken off his diaper yet, has he?
That is to say, he should have never participated in a battle before; how could his combat power possibly reach over 700?
If that were truly the case, this kid would count as an elite Saiyan warrior.
"Beep, beep..."
A warning signal came from the scouter once again.
"It's here again! The combat power is still 710! It must be a malfunction," Raditz snorted. "How could that little guy's combat power possibly reach such a high level?"
"Beep, beep..."
"Hmm, there's another reading, and it's flying toward this direction at high speed." Raditz was slightly taken aback, noticing a new prompt appearing on the scouter.
One! Two!
Their combat powers were 322 and 334, respectively.
One of them was very close to Kakarot's combat power.
However, they shouldn't be coming here.
Kakarot clearly knew that the probability of winning was almost zero.
Besides, there was no way he could know about this place.
What a nuisance, a major malfunction has occurred.
However, when Raditz looked up and saw Son Goku and Piccolo appearing in the sky, his expression suddenly changed.
It wasn't a malfunction!
This actually wasn't a malfunction!
How could this be possible? That brat's combat power absolutely shouldn't be able to reach 710.
"Thud!"
Son Goku and Piccolo descended from the sky, landing directly in front of Raditz.
"So that's how it is, the other person is you." Raditz had seen Piccolo before. "How did you know I was here?"
"I'm not going to tell you that!" Son Goku snorted coldly.
"Fine, I'll ask another question. What are you doing here?" Raditz asked.
"Need you even ask? Of course, I'm here to take back my son," Son Goku shouted.
"So, you, this Saiyan, are unwilling to join our ranks?" Raditz smiled.
"That's right!" Son Goku refused without hesitation.
"Do you want to betray your own brother?" Raditz asked with a cold face.
"I don't have a brother at all!" Son Goku replied.
"Kakarot, you are about to lose your head, do you know that?" Raditz chuckled softly. "You are far too stubborn; I am disappointed in you! And do you really think the two of you combined can defeat me? You are truly too naive!"
"Stop your endless blathering." Piccolo let out a cold snort, ripped off his cape, and tossed it behind him.
"Clang!"
The cape made a metallic sound as it hit the ground.
"Piccolo, so you were also training with weighted gear." Son Goku turned his head to look at Piccolo.
"Yes, just like you." Piccolo nodded and loosened up his arms. "It's been a long time since I've felt this light."
Raditz watched them silently.
Hmm, this guy's combat power has risen to 408.
"I've also been training with all my might." Son Goku smiled slightly and took off his weighted shirt and shoes.
Raditz looked at Son Goku again.
This kid's combat power has risen to 416.
These two idiots.
"Hahaha, do you think you can defeat me just like this?" Raditz laughed wildly. "You're killing me! You dare to come here and challenge me with that level of combat power? Two overconfident fools!"
"Victory isn't just about strength! We have tactics to deal with you!" Son Goku said coldly.
"I don't want to waste any more breath on you. Kakarot, I no longer consider you a partner. You have become a stumbling block for me. You are a disgrace to our warrior race, and I am going to kill you." Raditz shouted.
Son Goku and Piccolo immediately prepared for battle.
"Whoosh!"
Raditz charged toward the two of them at high speed. In an instant, he appeared behind them and struck both of them heavily with his elbows.
After receiving the heavy blows, the two quickly adjusted their stances and stabilized themselves.
Son Goku and Piccolo both looked at Raditz with expressions of shock.
What a terrifying fellow; his speed is far too fast.
"Your defensive skills aren't half bad, I suppose that's worth a bit of praise," Raditz chuckled. "However, your deaths are only a matter of time. I'm going to increase the intensity of my attacks now."
Son Goku gritted his teeth.
I must find a way to grab his tail.
Piccolo's face was etched with gravity.
I never imagined the gap between us would be so vast.
"Oh, right. Before you die, let me share another piece of good news with you," Raditz smiled. "The two other surviving Saiyans have combat power far greater than mine."
Son Goku's pupils constricted, his expression shifting rapidly.
Piccolo's eyes widened, cold sweat sliding down his face.
"Hahaha, are you only just realizing the true power of the Saiyans now?" Raditz roared with laughter. "I don't want to say much more; either way, you're on a path to certain death."
"This is bad. Those two Saiyans are even stronger than him," Piccolo said in a deep voice.
"It's over... I wish I hadn't heard that," Son Goku said with a bitter smile.
"Son Goku, you should be excited, shouldn't you?" Piccolo asked.
"Don't joke around. I can't feel any excitement this time. I only feel terror; my whole body is trembling," Son Goku replied solemnly.
Piccolo: "..."
"Hey, where did you hide my son?" Son Goku asked.
"I don't have the spare time to hide him. He wouldn't stop crying, so I locked him in the spaceship over there," Raditz said indifferently. "There's a large crater behind you; the spaceship is right there."
Son Goku took flight, looking toward the large crater behind them.
"Gohan, wait for Daddy. Once I defeat this guy, I'll take you home," Son Goku whispered.
"Hahaha, I advise you not to indulge in such fantasies. You think you can save him?" Raditz laughed wildly. "Before that happens, your lives will already be forfeit."
"Swish!"
The next moment, Son Goku and Piccolo joined forces, launching a fierce assault on Raditz.
"Bang!"
However, after only two or three exchanges, Raditz leaped into the air and kicked Son Goku and Piccolo directly in the chest with both feet.
Son Goku and Piccolo flew backward, quickly regained their balance, and charged at Raditz once more.
Raditz soared into the sky, gathering two powerful bursts of energy in his hands.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The two powerful energy blasts bombarded Son Goku and Piccolo.
Son Goku was alarmed and hurriedly dodged the incoming energy.
