The Strength of the Z Fighters; Binding Two People, Cultivation Effect Increases Again

After blocking the opponent's attack, a mocking smile curled the corner of Son Gohan's mouth: "What, is this really all you've got?"

As soon as the words fell, he raised his hand and threw a punch at Aka to counterattack.

Bang!

Aka felt an irresistible force surge through his arm, and in the next second, he was sent flying backward, flat on his back.

In the instant he was sent flying, only one thought crossed his mind—

How is this possible?!

This guy's combat power was clearly only 50,000!

Why couldn't I withstand that?

However.

Before Aka could figure out why, Son Gohan's figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision, looking at him with a mocking expression.

In an instant, an inexplicable rage flared up in his heart, and he roared immediately:

"Don't get too cocky!"

"I am a super warrior even more powerful than Frieza!"

"Go to hell!"

With a violent shout, Aka unleashed his full power, and a massive white aura instantly surged around his body.

The suddenly erupting energy forced Son Gohan, who had only been using a fraction of his strength, to retreat a short distance.

Watching Aka charge over, the corner of Son Gohan's mouth tilted slightly.

In the next second, Aka reached him and threw a heavy punch.

Son Gohan had anticipated this and tilted his head slightly, just barely dodging Aka's attack.

With the first strike missing, Aka didn't think twice; as he retracted his fist, he simultaneously swung his other hand, aiming straight for Son Gohan's face.

However, it was still easily dodged by Son Gohan.

With the second strike missing, Aka still didn't lose heart; he quickly changed his strategy, using both hands and feet, his offensive as fast as lightning.

But to his astonishment, no matter how he attacked, he couldn't land a single hit on Son Gohan.

For a moment, he roared in frustration: "What kind of skill is just dodging around?"

"If you have the guts, fight me head-on!"

"Ahhhhh!"

Boom!

Following his roar, an even more intense aura erupted.

With the force of thunder, he attacked Son Gohan once again.

Facing this attack from Aka, Son Gohan no longer dodged, choosing instead to meet it head-on!

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...

Thunderous sounds of impact immediately echoed across the scene!

Every collision caused the heavens and the earth to tremble.

If it weren't for Son Gohan intentionally using this to regain his combat instincts, Aka wouldn't even be a match for a single blow.

Outside the battlefield, Tarble truly couldn't see their combat trajectories; like Rix, he was there, looking around in the direction of the sounds.

It was a pity that, using only the naked eye, it was impossible to detect even a trace of their movements.

Vegeta and the rest of the Z Fighters saw the two of them looking around in a daze.

"Tarble, if you want to see Gohan and the others, you can't just use your eyes; you must calm your mind and use your ki to track their movement trajectories," Vegeta instructed.

After a pause of a second or two, he added: "Of course, with your current strength, you probably can't keep up with their attack speed."

As he spoke, he glanced at Krillin and the others, continuing: "Look at them; they are also proficient in ki sensing, but with their strength, they can't see Gohan and the others' speed either."

Although this was the truth, being told this caused a look of embarrassment to suddenly appear on the previously calm faces of Krillin and the others.

Seeing Tarble look at them, Krillin laughed, using the sound to mask his awkwardness.

"Heh, haha, no choice; our Earthling talent for cultivation isn't as strong as you Saiyans."

"The gap in strength is too large, so of course, we can't see it."

Just as Krillin finished speaking, Yamcha also gave a carefree smile and said: "Krillin is right."

"There's no helping it; the gap in strength is right there. Even if we wanted to see clearly, we couldn't."

Hearing this, Tarble nodded slowly: "So that's how it is."

This situation was more reasonable; otherwise, if someone with a combat power of only a few hundred thousand could see the movement trajectories of two combatants with power levels over one hundred million, that would be completely absurd.

At this moment, he once again utilized his Insight Eye to check the combat power of Piccolo and the others.

"Target: Piccolo

Race: Namekian

Combat Power: 18 billion

Whoa!

Piccolo's base combat power was actually catching up to Nobi Gohan!

After making a silent assessment, he shifted his gaze to the next person.

Beside Piccolo stood Tien Shinhan.

"Target: Tien Shinhan

Race: Mutant Earthling

Combat Power: 1.2 million"

Upon seeing the words "Mutant Earthling," Tarble was slightly taken aback.

A mutant Earthling?

So he wasn't a Three-Eyed Alien?

These were the two thoughts currently running through his mind.

However, on second thought, the Earthlings in this Dragon Ball world included animal-type humans and monster-type humans.

It stood to reason that someone with three eyes, or even three heads and six arms, would also exist.

A mutant Earthling!

No wonder his cultivation speed was much faster than Krillin and Yamcha.

He remembered that during the Vegeta invasion of Earth, despite having the same amount of training time, Tien Shinhan's combat power had far exceeded that of Krillin and Yamcha.

It was evident that in terms of cultivation talent, Tien Shinhan was far superior to Yamcha and Krillin.

Next, his gaze continued to move.

Standing beside Tien Shinhan was, naturally, the rather comical Chiaotzu.

"Target: Chiaotzu

Race: Mutant Earthling

Combat Power: 80,000"

He remembered that Chiaotzu wasn't particularly gifted at cultivation, yet he now possessed a combat power of 80,000.

That meant he had been training diligently all these years.

Tarble nodded to himself and continued to the next person.

Beside Chiaotzu was Krillin.

"Target: Krillin

Race: Mutant Earthling

Combat Power: 300,000"

Huh?

Only 300,000 combat power?

And he was also a mutant Earthling?

After a brief moment of surprise, Tarble recalled that Krillin had no nose.

That certainly qualified him as a mutant Earthling, as he could only breathe through his mouth.

However, as things stood, the title of "Strongest Earthling" clearly belonged to Tien Shinhan.

Women really do slow down the speed at which one draws their sword!

Tarble couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

Back on Namek, Krillin had his potential unlocked by the Grand Elder, putting his strength far ahead of Tien Shinhan and Yamcha.

Yet, by now, he had been surpassed by Tien Shinhan.

As expected!

Women only hinder a man's sword-drawing speed!

There was no need to guess; all these years, Krillin must have been lost in the tender embrace of Android 18, unable to pull himself away.

Otherwise, even if his talent was slightly inferior to Tien Shinhan's, his strength shouldn't have fallen so far behind.

What a pity.

After a soft sigh, he shifted his gaze to the side, and Yamcha's brief profile instantly came into view.

"Target: Yamcha

Race: Earthling

Combat Power: 130,000"

Seeing this, Tarble couldn't even be bothered to comment, silently deactivating his Insight Eye.

Just then, an information box suddenly popped up in his vision.

[Two warriors with Saiyan blood detected nearby. Does the host wish to bind them immediately?]

[Currently bound: 1 person. Pending: 3 people.]

[Bind] or [Do Not Bind]

Bind!

Bind!

Of course, bind!

A slight smirk tugged at the corner of Tarble's mouth. After shouting the command three times in his mind, he immediately tapped the [Bind] button with his thoughts.

[Starting to bind target: Vegeta. Binding... Binding complete!]

[Starting to bind target: Son Gohan. Binding... Binding complete!]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully binding two warriors with Saiyan blood. Currently bound: 3 people. Pending: 1 person.]

[Congratulations, the host's cultivation efficiency has increased by two times. Current multiplier: 4x.]

As three or four messages flashed rapidly before his eyes, Tarble was absolutely overjoyed.

Before binding any targets, his initial cultivation efficiency had been only 1x, with the system providing one free binding slot.

The method for increasing binding slots was simple and direct: for every dimension of strength he broke through, he would gain a new binding slot.

Battle power 1 to 10 is the first dimension of strength;

Battle power 11 to 10,000 is the second dimension of strength;

Battle power above 10,000 and below 100 million is the third dimension of strength;

Battle power above 100 million and below 1 trillion is the fourth dimension of strength;

Battle power above 1 trillion and below 10 quadrillion is the fifth dimension of strength;
