BOOM!

Pilaf's robot was shattered by the Kamehameha, exploding into pieces.

"Ah!"

Pilaf let out a shrill scream as he was pinned to the ground by the debris of his exploded robot.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong and Bulma immediately walked toward the castle and took Pilaf's Dragon Ball.

Afterward, the two left Pilaf's castle and arrived at a deserted mountain.

Bulma placed the seven Dragon Balls together.

The seven Dragon Balls instantly began to glow brightly.

"Come forth! Shenron, grant my wish!"

With a nervous expression, Bulma recited the incantation to summon Shenron.

The next second, the sky across the entire Earth suddenly darkened.

A bolt of golden lightning shot out from the seven Dragon Balls, transforming into an incredibly massive, cyan-colored Shenron.

Because this was her first time seeing Shenron, and the dragon's appearance was somewhat frightening, Bulma instinctively took a few steps back.

"State your wish. Any wish can be granted, but only one!"

Bulma looked at Sun Wukong.

"Then I'll have a Gravity Chamber!"

"Very well! No problem!"

Shenron's red eyes flashed, and a Hoi-Poi Capsule appeared in Bulma's hand.

"Your wish has been granted. We shall meet again!"

After saying this, Shenron immediately turned back into seven stone Dragon Balls and scattered across the Earth.

"Wukong, this is for you!"

Bulma handed the Hoi-Poi Capsule in her hand to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong nodded and took the Hoi-Poi Capsule.

"Bulma, why did you make this wish?"

"Just consider it... a thank you for helping me earlier!"

"Is that so!"

"So, Wukong, where do you plan to go next? Do you want to come to West City for a visit?"

"I originally promised Chi-Chi that I would go to her place, but since you've already invited me, I'll head to West City first!"

"Chi-Chi! You don't happen to like her, do you?"

"No, I was just thinking that there should be plenty of food at the banquet!"

"Food? Then when we get to West City, I'll treat you to a big meal too!"

"Mm!"

Two days later.

Bulma brought Sun Wukong back to her home.

"This is your house?"

Sun Wukong said as he looked at the yard, which resembled a park.

"That's right!"

As they spoke, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman walked out.

This person was none other than Bulma's mother, Mrs. Brief.

"Bulma, you're back!"

Mrs. Brief greeted Bulma with a smile.

"Mm!"

"And who is this?"

"His name is Sun Wukong; he's my friend!"

"Could it be your boyfriend?"

Mrs. Brief teased.

Bulma ignored her and continued leading Sun Wukong forward.

At this moment, they encountered Dr. Brief, who was wearing a white lab coat.

"Bulma, you're back!"

"Hmm!"

"Who is this?"

"He is my friend, Sun Wukong!"

"A boyfriend?"

Bulma glared at them.

Her parents were truly enough; how could she possibly find a boyfriend so much younger than her? At the very least... she would wait until he grew up!

"No!"

After saying this, Bulma took Sun Wukong and left.

By noon, Bulma had someone bring over a feast, allowing Sun Wukong to eat his fill.

In the afternoon, because Sun Wukong was eager to train, he bid farewell and left Bulma's house.

The reason Sun Wukong had come to West City this time was entirely to thank Bulma for using Shenron to grant a wish, which had earned him the Gravity Chamber.

Half an hour later, Sun Wukong returned to Mount Paozu.

Sun Wukong activated the Hoi-Poi Capsule for the Gravity Chamber and tossed it onto the open ground by his house.

Accompanied by a puff of white smoke, the Gravity Chamber appeared on the clearing.

Sun Wukong stepped forward, opened the door to the Gravity Chamber, and walked inside.

The Gravity Chamber was quite large, containing a living room, kitchen, bathroom, sofa, and various other furnishings.

At the very back of this structure was a room that resembled a training hall.

This room was the Gravity Chamber itself.

The floor of the Gravity Chamber was covered in "red bricks," looking just like the one from the anime.

Sun Wukong walked over to the control panel for the gravity settings.

There were three buttons on it; two of them had plus and minus symbols beneath them, while the third had no markings at all.

Sun Wukong tried pressing the plus button, and the machine's display immediately showed the text for one times gravity.

Sun Wukong instantly felt his body become significantly heavier.

"Alright, then I'll start my training at one times gravity!"

After saying this, Sun Wukong immediately began to train.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, seven months had passed.

During these seven months, aside from a trip to visit Chi-Chi, Sun Wukong had spent almost all his time training in the Gravity Chamber.

His strength had now reached over one thousand.

Compared to before, his power had increased tenfold.

Today was the day of the World Martial Arts Tournament, so Sun Wukong left Mount Paozu early in the morning and arrived at Bulma's house.

"Wukong!"

Sun Wukong nodded.

"Bulma, do you know where the World Martial Arts Tournament venue is?"

"Of course I do! I was wondering why you came to my house; so it turns out you didn't know where the World Martial Arts Tournament was being held!"

Bulma laughed.

"Sit for a while. We'll go together in a bit; I want to watch you compete anyway!"

"Hmm!"

Sun Wukong nodded.

Half an hour later, Bulma changed into casual clothes and drove Sun Wukong toward the World Martial Arts Tournament venue.

When the two arrived at the venue, it was already packed with people, and the contestants signing up for the World Martial Arts Tournament were lined up in a long queue.

"There are so many people signing up for the competition; it looks like you'll have to wait a while!"

Sun Wukong nodded.

"Wukong!"

Just then, a voice called out from behind them.

Sun Wukong turned around and saw Master Roshi wearing a blue suit.

Standing next to him was a little bald boy wearing an identical suit.

This little bald boy was none other than Krillin.

Seven months ago, Krillin had left his original temple and traveled to Turtle Hermit Island to seek an apprenticeship.

Although he had faced some setbacks, he had ultimately succeeded in becoming a student.

"Grandpa Master Roshi!"

"You lecherous old man!"

Because of the incident at Fried Bread Mountain, Bulma had a very poor impression of Master Roshi.

Master Roshi gave a nod and brought Krillin to stand before the two of them.

"Long time no see, Miss Bulma!"

Bulma let out a cold snort and did not speak.

Seeing this, Master Roshi did not get angry, but instead began to introduce Sun Wukong to Krillin.

"Krillin, this is the senior brother Sun Wukong I have often told you about!"

"Wukong, this is my newly accepted disciple, his name is Krillin!"

"Greetings, Senior Brother Sun Wukong!"

Krillin said with a respectful expression.

"Hello!"

Sun Wukong replied indifferently.

This senior brother looks about the same age as me, I just wonder how his strength measures up?

Krillin thought to himself.

"Wukong, have you registered yet?"

"I just arrived as well, I haven't had the chance to register yet!"

"Is that so! Then why don't you two go register together in a moment?"

"Mm!"
