BANG!!

Following a heavy punch, the two collided with their right fists, a massive gale of wind erupting from their hands.

After a brief stalemate, both exerted force with their right fists, sending the other flying backward.

"Mimicking me?"

Son Gohan looked at "himself" and discovered that his moves were almost identical to his own.

"Master, this clone of mine is you, so it is impossible for you to defeat him!"

Son Gohan let out a cold snort and gripped his hands tightly.

"Haa!"

With a loud shout, Son Gohan transformed into a Super Saiyan.

"A Super Saiyan, is it!"

Seeing this, "Son Gohan" also transformed into a Super Saiyan.

Son Gohan gritted his teeth, his body moving as fast as lightning as he charged toward "himself."

Seeing this, "Son Gohan" likewise charged toward Son Gohan.

"Whoosh..."

"Swish..."

BANG BANG BANG!!

The two dodged and weaved while launching powerful attacks at one another.

"Damn it!"

Son Gohan shouted in anger, attempting to use the Mind Reading technique he had recently acquired to see if he could peer into the thoughts of "Son Gohan."

I can't read him... Or is it that he has absolutely no thoughts in his mind at all?

"Master, aside from mimicking your moves, he possesses no consciousness whatsoever!"

"Mimicking!"

"Yes, Master!"

"In that case, let's see how you mimic this move of mine!"

Seeing this, Son Gohan placed both hands against his forehead.

"Solar Flare!"

As soon as the words left his lips, Son Gohan's hands emitted an intense, blinding light.

Upon seeing this, "Son Gohan" immediately closed his eyes.

Several seconds later, as the intensity of the light began to fade, Son Gohan quickly opened his eyes and charged toward "Son Gohan."

BANG!!

Son Gohan landed a heavy right hook on "Son Gohan's" face, sending him flying away with a single punch.

After flying backward for nearly a thousand meters, "Son Gohan" slammed his feet into the ground, bringing his body to a halt.

Son Gohan let out a loud shout, his body moving like lightning as he rushed toward "Son Gohan."

Seeing this, "Son Gohan" immediately placed both hands against his forehead.

"Solar Flare!"

As soon as the words left his lips, "Son Gohan's" hands emitted an incredibly intense, blinding light.

Seeing this, Son Gohan hurriedly stopped his momentum and shielded his eyes with his hands.

A moment later, Son Gohan slowly opened his eyes, only to see a small fist striking toward him.

Because the distance was too close, Son Gohan's body could not react in time, and he was sent flying a thousand meters away by that small fist.

"Thud..."

Son Gohan slammed his feet into the ground, quickly bringing his body to a halt.

"Damn it! I wonder if Instant Transmission will work on him!"

As he spoke, Son Gohan placed his right index finger against his forehead and used Instant Transmission to appear behind "Son Gohan."

Just then, "Son Gohan" used Instant Transmission to appear in the air above Son Gohan.

Seeing this, Son Gohan immediately lowered his index finger from his forehead and charged toward "Son Gohan" in the sky.

"Haa!"

Soon, Son Gohan arrived in front of "Son Gohan" and delivered a fierce kick with his right leg.

"Son Gohan's" figure flickered, and he quickly flew into mid-air.

Seeing this, Son Gohan immediately gave chase.

"Whoosh..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Soon, Son Gohan arrived before "Son Gohan" once again, engaging in a fierce battle with him.

"Hoo... hoo..."

A long while later, both of them collapsed onto the ground simultaneously, their stamina completely exhausted.

"Are you even capable, Master? You couldn't even defeat a clone of me!"

Son Gohan let out a cold snort.

"System, don't get too cocky. My condition wasn't great today. Once I've adjusted my state, I'll definitely defeat this fake!"

"Fine, Master, then keep at it!"

"So, System, how do I get out now?"

"Get out? Are you not going to beat me up anymore, Master?"

"Ahem!"

Son Gohan coughed.

"Did I ever say that?"

"Yes!"

As the System spoke, it played a recording of Son Gohan from just a moment ago.

"Damn it, System, if you've got guts, come out here! See if I don't smash your dog head in!"

As the recording played, Son Gohan's expression immediately turned awkward.

"System, you even have a recording function!"

"What's so surprising about that? If we Systems didn't have to parasitize you humans, we would have been invincible in this world long ago!"

"System, you'd better put those pipe dreams away and let me realize your dreams for you!"

The System let out a cold snort.

"What's so great about that? No matter how strong you become, you have no way to defeat me, so I am still the number one in this world!"

After the System finished speaking, it immediately sent Son Gohan back to the real world.

Son Gohan looked around and discovered that all the injuries on his body had vanished.

"System, how did my injuries heal?"

"The different-dimensional space you just entered belongs to the mental realm, so no matter how severe the injuries you sustain inside, you remain unscathed upon returning to reality."

"The mental realm!"

"That is correct, Master!"

Subsequently, Son Gohan checked his character panel.

He discovered that his IQ stat had changed to 90.

Seeing the System concede, Son Gohan stopped bickering with it and began to sense the ki of the Namekians within the gravity chamber.

There was now less than three months left until Vegeta and the others arrived on Earth.

He remembered that Frieza and his forces went to Namek after Vegeta arrived on Earth.

Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of the time before Frieza reached Namek to have the Great Elder of Namek unlock his potential, and incidentally, warn them that Frieza and his cohorts might head to Namek to seize their Dragon Balls.

A while later, Son Gohan sensed many ki signatures similar to Piccolo's within the gravity chamber.

"Found them!"

As Son Gohan spoke, he placed his right index finger against his forehead and, with an Instant Transmission, arrived at a village on Namek, where he saw many Namekians who looked just like Piccolo.

"So... so many Uncle Piccolos!"

The Namekians, who had been gathered together chatting, immediately showed expressions of shock upon seeing the suddenly appearing Son Gohan.

"You... who are you?"

A medium-built Namekian asked.

"Hello, my name is Son Gohan, and I come from Earth!"

"Ea... Earth?"

Son Gohan nodded.

"That thing you just did... was that the Instant Transmission of the Yardrats?"

A slightly thinner Namekian stepped forward and asked.

Son Gohan nodded once more.

"Then, what brings you here?"

"I've come to find your Great Elder."

"Great Elder, may I ask what business you have with our Great Elder?"

"This matter concerns your Namek, so I can only discuss it with your Great Elder!"

"Concerns Namek!"

The medium-built Namekian pondered this for a moment before speaking.

"Then you wait here for a moment; we will go find the Great Elder and see if he is willing to meet you!"

"Mn!"

Son Gohan nodded.
