"Krillin, come up here!"
Sun Wukong called to Krillin.
"What is it, Senior Brother Goku?"
Krillin climbed up from below the ring.
"In a moment, I'm going to send him flying. Can you catch him for me?"
"Sure!"
The referee standing nearby grew a little nervous when he heard that.
"Shall I get started?"
"W-wait, hold on! Let me prepare first!"
"Prepare?"
"I need to get myself mentally ready!"
"Okay! Then hurry up."
The referee nodded and took a deep breath.
Then he handed the microphone to a staff member beside him and walked nervously up to Sun Wukong.
"Sun... Sun Wukong, please go easy on me!"
"Okay. Are you ready?"
"R-ready!"
"Then turn your back to me. It'll hurt less that way!"
"...All right!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the referee turned around.
Sun Wukong made an O with the thumb and index finger of his right hand and placed them against the referee's back.
Thwack!
Sun Wukong flicked his right index finger, and the referee shot forward.
Krillin immediately spread his arms and caught him.
"Phew..."
When the referee realized he was all right, he let out a sigh of relief.
But the next second, he suddenly felt a searing pain in his back.
Sun Wukong walked over and took out a Senzu Bean.
"This is a Senzu Bean. Just eat it, and your back won't hurt anymore!"
"A Senzu Bean?"
The referee took it doubtfully. His back hurt so much that he didn't think twice before eating it.
Suddenly, the referee's body began to swell.
Thinking something was wrong with him, he hurriedly looked toward Sun Wukong.
"S-Sun Wukong!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the pain in his back vanished.
"I-I'm fine!"
Sun Wukong smiled.
"I forgot to tell you something just now!"
"What?"
"After eating that Senzu Bean, you won't need to eat for ten days!"
"I-I won't need to eat for ten days?!"
"That's right!"
"What if I eat anyway?"
"Nothing much. It'll just be harder for your stomach to digest it!"
"..."
The referee was speechless.
If he'd known, he never would've volunteered to be the one Sun Wukong sent flying!
"Also, I'd rather you didn't go around telling everyone about the Senzu Beans."
"Of course. I understand!"
"Then, if there's nothing else, can I go down?"
"Sure!"
The referee nodded.
Whoosh...
Thump...
Sun Wukong jumped down from the ring with Krillin.
"Congratulations, Goku! You've won the World Martial Arts Tournament again!"
Bulma walked over to Sun Wukong with a smile.
Sun Wukong nodded and glanced at Master Shen in the distance.
Krillin and the others followed his gaze and looked toward Master Shen and his students.
"Master Shen, you haven't forgotten our bet, have you?"
"Damn it!"
Master Shen cursed angrily, then reluctantly turned to Master Roshi.
"The Crane School... is inferior to the Turtle School!"
After saying that, Master Shen immediately left with Tien Shinhan and the others.
The prize money from the World Martial Arts Tournament wouldn't be awarded until the following day.
So Sun Wukong left with Krillin and the others and found a nearby little restaurant to eat.
"By the way, Senior Brother Goku, where did you get the Senzu Bean you gave the referee?"
"I got it from Master Korin!"
"Master Korin?"
Master Roshi asked, "Goku, have you already been to Korin Tower?"
"Yeah!"
"Korin Tower? Do you mean the world's tallest tower, Korin Tower?"
"Yeah!"
Master Roshi nodded.
"Then who is this Master Korin Senior Brother Goku mentioned?"
"He's the immortal who lives atop Korin Tower!"
"An immortal? Master Mutaito, have you met Master Korin?"
"Of course. When I was young, I climbed up there myself! You can climb it and take a look someday, too!"
Krillin nodded.
"Um... Senior Brother Goku, could you tell me how you got so strong?"
Master Roshi looked at Sun Wukong with curiosity, too.
"I got this strong by training in a 100x Gravity Chamber!"
"A 100x Gravity Chamber?!"
Master Roshi and Krillin were astonished.
"Yeah!"
"Senior Brother Goku, did you train under a hundred times gravity right from the start?"
"Of course not. I started training at one times gravity!"
"One times?"
"Yeah. The 100x Gravity Chamber lets you increase or decrease the gravity!"
"I see!"
Krillin felt a little relieved.
If Sun Wukong had started training under a hundred times gravity, that would've been terrifying!
"Then, Senior Brother Goku, how many times gravity do you train under now?"
"Two hundred times!"
"..."
Krillin was speechless.
Wasn't it supposed to be a 100x Gravity Chamber? How had it become two hundred times?
And if the gravity really was two hundred times, Sun Wukong would have to withstand at least fifty tons while training!
Meanwhile, he was training at... only 100 kilograms. It was easy to imagine how big the gap between their training was!
"The Gravity Room I first trained in only went up to ten times gravity. Later, I had Bulma upgrade it to a hundred times, then five hundred times!"
"I... I see!"
Sun Wukong nodded.
"Why don't I ask Bulma to make a Gravity Room for you, too?"
Bulma gave him a deeply reproachful look.
It seemed he only thought of her when he needed her help. The rest of the time, he hardly thought of her at all!
"Um..."
Krillin saw the odd look on Bulma's face and didn't know how to respond.
"Bulma, this time I'll find a few people to help you build the Gravity Room!"
"Help?"
"Yeah! So this time, all you have to do is draw up the plans for it!"
"I see!"
At that, Bulma immediately cheered up.
Just drawing the plans wasn't much trouble for her!
"Then, Krillin, do you want Bulma to make you a Gravity Room?"
"Yeah!"
Krillin nodded.
"Then I'll have to trouble you to make me a Gravity Room, Miss Bulma!"
Bulma nodded slightly.
After lunch, Master Roshi said goodbye to Krillin, Sun Wukong, and the others, then took a plane back to Turtle Hermit Island.
Inside a huge castle, Pilaf was lounging in front of the television.
Three figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
They were Sun Wukong, Android 8, and Bulma.
"S-Sun Wukong!"
The moment the three appeared, Pilaf leaped off the sofa in fright.
"Long time no see, Pilaf!"
Sun Wukong smiled.
Pilaf stared at him in terror.
"W-what are you doing here?"
"Nothing much, really. I just want you to help me make something!"
"Make what?"
"A Gravity Room!"
"Can I refuse?"
Sun Wukong raised his fist.
"I'll make it! I'll make it!"
"Shu! Mai!"
