"Was that Krillin and Grandpa Master Roshi?" Son Goku asked, startled. "Then the one with a power level of 206 must be Krillin. Has he already surpassed Grandpa?"
"I don't know." Bulma shook her head. "This sophisticated device the Saiyans wear can detect powerful people anywhere in the world and show their locations... About 4,000 kilometers in that direction, there's someone with a power level of 250."
"250..." Son Goku fell silent.
"That must be Tien Shinhan," Luo Tian said with a smile, getting to his feet.
"More than 3,000 kilometers that way, there's someone with a power level of 177." Bulma pointed in another direction.
"177... Could that be Yamcha?" Son Goku guessed.
"Oh... There's another one, very far from here, about 8,000 kilometers away. Their power level is 329." Bulma looked to the rear left.
"329? Who could that be?" Son Goku scratched his head, unable to figure out who had a power level of 329.
"Bulma, what about Piccolo? What was Piccolo's power level again?" Son Goku asked.
"That's everyone... Your power level is 835, so you seem to be the strongest person on the planet right now." Bulma shook her head.
"No need to check. The one with a power level of 329 is Piccolo," Luo Tian said with a smile.
"What? Piccolo's power level is only 329?" Bulma was stunned. "Why is Goku so much stronger than him?"
"Saiyans have a special constitution. When they're rescued from the brink of death, their power level rises dramatically. That's why Goku's power level increased so much this time," Luo Tian explained with a smile.
"What? That's a thing? How come I didn't know?" Son Goku was stunned.
"There are plenty of things you don't know." Luo Tian smiled.
"Bulma, check Luo Tian's power level!" Son Goku said hurriedly.
"No need to check mine. I don't have a power level," Luo Tian said with a smile.
Son Goku: "..."
Bulma: "..."
Still, Bulma quickly turned toward Luo Tian and checked his power level.
"Power level... 0..." Bulma was speechless.
"What? No way!" Son Goku was speechless when he heard the result.
"Huh? That doesn't seem right! My power level is 1... How come Luo Tian's is only 0?" Bulma felt that something was off.
Could I beat Luo Tian easily?
That didn't seem likely, did it?
"Don't rely on this silly device. A power-level reading only measures the energy inside your body," Luo Tian said with a smile. "And a person's energy can change dramatically with their emotions. Take Goku's son Gohan, for example. His power level can reach over 1,000 when his emotions flare up, but under normal circumstances, it can be as low as 1 or even 0."
"Hehe, you've explained all that because you want to prove you're stronger than me, haven't you, Luo Tian?" Bulma teased.
"Goku, how's your meditation going?" Luo Tian asked, ignoring Bulma.
"Well... It feels really hard," Son Goku said, scratching his head.
"How about this? I'll give you three days. If meditating on this willow tree lets you bring your power level down below 100, you can keep going," Luo Tian said.
Bulma: "..."
Son Goku looked just as confused.
How come training made his power level go lower and lower?
"I told you, a power level is just a measure of energy," Luo Tian explained. "Your power level is 835 right now. Do you really think you could beat me?"
"Huh? What do you mean? Do you want to fight me, Luo Tian?" Son Goku stared at him without blinking.
"Fight me? You're not qualified yet. You'll be qualified to challenge me once you've mastered true Ultra Instinct." Luo Tian sighed.
Son Goku: "..."
Bulma fell silent for a while, too.
Luo Tian, you're looking down on him way too much.
If you get Goku fired up, what are you going to do then?
You'd better be careful, or Goku might punch you to death.
Son Goku didn't know what to say, either.
Although Son Goku thought Luo Tian was a little mysterious, he was still confident he could beat him.
After all, my power level makes me one of the strongest people on the planet now.
"It seems you won't be able to get over this unless I convince you," Luo Tian sighed.
"Smack!"
A black strip of cloth suddenly appeared in Luo Tian's hand.
Seeing Luo Tian conjure a black strip of cloth out of nowhere left Bulma stunned once again.
Son Goku's eyes widened, too.
How did that strip of cloth appear?
"Luo Tian, what are you doing?" Bulma asked.
Luo Tian demonstrated what he intended to do.
He wrapped the strip of cloth around his eyes.
"I can't see a thing now." Luo Tian smiled at Son Goku. "Goku, attack me with all your strength! Today, I'll show you what true Ultra Instinct looks like."
Son Goku: "..."
Bulma: "..."
The two quickly exchanged a glance.
"Um... Bulma... Do you think Luo Tian is serious?" Son Goku asked.
"I don't know..." Bulma was speechless. She hurriedly asked Luo Tian, "Luo Tian, this isn't a joke. Goku's power level is over 800. He could kill you by accident."
"Go ahead and attack me. Do I look like I'm joking?" Luo Tian remained completely calm.
"Fine, I'm done trying to stop you!" Bulma pouted, sulking. "If you get hurt, I'm sure you can heal yourself anyway."
"That's more like it," Luo Tian said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll give it a try! I'm going to attack you now, Luo Tian!" Son Goku's face was full of excitement, anticipation, and boundless confidence.
I'm one of the strongest people on the planet now.
Let's see if you can dodge my attacks, Luo Tian!
"Whoosh!"
Son Goku rushed toward Luo Tian and attacked at high speed.
However, Son Goku didn't use all his strength.
If I accidentally kill Luo Tian, won't Bulma come after me?
I'd better hold back.
Son Goku's fist headed for Luo Tian at a leisurely pace.
But just as it was about to touch Luo Tian's shoulder, Luo Tian gently leaned to one side and easily dodged the attack.
"Come on, Goku. Use all your strength. I can't die," Luo Tian sighed.
Before you continue
