A Secret from the Gods?

"A quilt... carried on the back!" Son Goku suddenly said.

King Kai was shocked, as if he had been struck by lightning.

This, this, this...

This was just too funny.

King Kai couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You laughed, King Kai laughed," Son Goku said hurriedly.

"Oh no... I accidentally laughed out loud," King Kai wiped his sweat. "You kid are really something else. Are you a professional? Fine, seeing as you have a bit of talent, I'll teach you the most interesting way to tell a joke."

"I don't want to learn that, teach me martial arts," Son Goku said.

"What? Martial arts? Why didn't you say so earlier?" King Kai was speechless.

I thought you came here to learn the art of language.

"Alright, let me test your level and see what your strength is like," King Kai beckoned. "Attack me with all your might."

"I'm a bit confused right now. Why is it so hard to move here? My body feels extremely heavy," Son Goku scratched his head and asked.

"Where did you come from?" King Kai asked.

"Earth..." Son Goku replied.

"Earth?" King Kai was stunned again.

Earth?

How could someone get here from Earth?

Had the passage between the God Realm and the Human Realm been opened?

King Kai looked around.

No!

He didn't see any passage being opened.

"How did you get here?" King Kai asked with a curious look. "Unless people from Earth are dead, they can't come here."

"Ah? Dead?" Son Goku was astonished.

"After dying, one must traverse the infinite length of Snake Way to reach me," King Kai said.

"Snake Way? What is that?" Son Goku was puzzled.

King Kai: "..."

I feel like I'm being looked down upon by this kid.

He actually doesn't know what Snake Way is.

"An infinite length of Snake Way?" Son Goku scratched his head.

"It's called infinite length, but it's not truly infinite. It's just that Snake Way is long enough that no one has measured its exact length yet..." King Kai explained simply.

"I see..." Son Goku nodded vigorously and replied, "I was sent here by a friend. It's not convenient for me to go into the details."

"You kid, what secrets could you possibly have from a god?" King Kai smiled. "Forget it, suit yourself. I'm not the kind of god who likes to pry into others' privacy. Because you came from Earth, you naturally feel this planet is very heavy. Although this planet isn't large in area, its gravity is 10 times that of Earth. So, your body weight has effectively increased tenfold."

Son Goku was stunned.

No wonder I feel my body is so heavy.

"Try jumping with all your might, use your maximum strength," King Kai instructed.

"Yes." Son Goku nodded vigorously.

"Bang!"

Son Goku jumped, reaching a certain height.

Immediately after, Son Goku plummeted back down.

"It's no good, I can only jump this high," Son Goku scratched his head.

"To be able to jump that high under 10 times gravity is already quite impressive," King Kai nodded with satisfaction. "Alright, since you intend to train with me, let's begin... By the way, how long do you plan to train here?"

"The vicious Saiyans are coming to our Earth, so I need to improve my strength as quickly as possible," Son Goku clenched his fists.

"Saiyans? They are indeed extraordinary," King Kai nodded, his antennae twitching slightly. "Alright, let me check when the Saiyans will arrive on Earth. Hmm... there are currently two Saiyans traveling in a spaceship, flying rapidly toward Earth. There are 158 days left until they reach Earth."

"That's amazing! You know about this too?" Son Goku was astonished, then his expression turned grave. "Only 158 days left... the situation is a bit urgent."

"It doesn't matter, 158 days is enough," King Kai smiled confidently.

"Really?" Son Goku was a bit skeptical.

"Training on this planet for 158 days is equivalent to decades of training on Earth," King Kai smiled.

"Really?" Son Goku was half-believing.

I have a feeling he's just bragging.

"However, even if you train, it doesn't necessarily mean you can defeat those two Saiyans." King Kai didn't seem to think much of Son Goku's chances. "Saiyans are incredibly powerful. To put it simply, their strength has already surpassed mine."

"Huh? Even stronger than King Kai?" Son Goku was stunned.

"Yes, that is why I say you must surpass me before you can defeat the Saiyans." King Kai smiled.

Son Goku: "..."

"Then let's begin." King Kai chuckled and beckoned to the chimpanzee.

Bubbles walked over.

"First, you must overcome the gravity here." King Kai instructed. "Try to catch Bubbles. If you can't even do that, there's no point in talking about anything else."

Son Goku nodded and went to catch the chimpanzee.

After chasing for a while, Son Goku felt that the weight was truly unbearable.

Son Goku immediately took off his weighted clothing.

"That's much lighter." Son Goku grinned, suddenly boosted his speed, and lunged toward Bubbles.

However, just as Son Goku was about to reach him, Bubbles suddenly increased his speed.

"Whoosh!"

Like a rocket, Bubbles darted away and vanished in an instant.

Shortly after, Bubbles appeared in the distance and made a face at Son Goku.

Little guy, you think you can catch me?

"That guy is so fast..." Son Goku was dumbfounded. "This isn't working; I can't catch him at all."

"If you can't catch him, then go home." King Kai smiled.

"Could you give me something to eat? I didn't have a meal before I left." Son Goku asked, scratching his head.

King Kai: "..."

This kid really has a lot of demands.

King Kai didn't object and immediately brought some food for Son Goku.

Son Goku devoured it in large mouthfuls.

"Great, finally full. It's just a shame that compared to the food at Bulma's place, this has absolutely no flavor." Son Goku said, patting his stomach.

"You brat, when you first met me, you called me King Kai, but now you have no respect for me at all." King Kai snapped irritably.

"King Kai, don't you get lonely on such a tiny planet?" Son Goku asked casually.

"Hmph, you're still young. This place has plenty of interesting things to do, like counting how many blades of grass have grown, gazing at the sky, or seeing how far I can pee, and so on." King Kai stood with his hands behind his back, smiling at the sky.

Son Goku: "..."

You call that fun?

"Lately, what I'm most interested in is going for a drive." King Kai continued. "Anyway, enough of that. Hurry up and catch Bubbles, otherwise, I won't teach you any martial arts!"
