Son Gohan leaned slightly to one side, dodging the attack.

Yamcha was startled and immediately raised his right leg to kick Son Gohan.

Bang!

Son Gohan raised his left arm, blocking Yamcha's kick.

"Damn it!"

Yamcha gritted his teeth and quickly retreated.

Son Gohan watched him calmly.

Just then, Earth's Guardian slowly emerged from a room at the Lookout, leaning on his cane.

"Guardian!"

Seeing him, Mr. Popo hurried over and helped him along.

"Is he Son Goku's son, Son Gohan?"

Earth's Guardian asked, looking at Son Gohan.

"Yes, Guardian!"

"Ha!"

At that moment, Yamcha suddenly let out a shout and charged at Son Gohan like a wolf.

Yamcha quickly reached him, his hands clawing at Son Gohan like a flurry of claws.

This move was called the New Wolf Fang Fist, an upgraded version of the Wolf Fang Fist.

"Whoosh..."

"Swish, swish..."

Facing Yamcha's attack, Son Gohan dodged with ease.

"This won't do. Yamcha's attacks can't hit Gohan at all!"

Tien Shinhan said, analyzing the situation between the two.

Krillin said, "Yeah! I never imagined Goku's son would be this strong. And he's only five years old. Saiyans really are an incredible warrior race!"

"Mm!"

Tien Shinhan nodded.

Just then, Son Gohan put some force into his right hand and sent Yamcha flying hundreds of meters away.

Bang!

Yamcha braced himself against the ground with his right hand, crouching there with sweat pouring down his face.

"You may be Son Goku's son, but I'm not going to give up that easily!"

As he spoke, Yamcha slowly got to his feet.

Piccolo was speechless.

If Son Gohan hadn't held back just now, Yamcha would already have been down for the count. He wouldn't have had a chance to fight Son Gohan at all.

That brat's still too softhearted! Piccolo thought to himself.

At that moment, Yamcha gripped his right wrist with his left hand and gathered his ki in his right palm, forming a blue energy sphere that he launched at Son Gohan.

Son Gohan swayed aside, dodging it.

Yamcha then raised his right palm, and the blue energy sphere that had missed him immediately shot into the sky.

"Spirit Ball?"

Looking at Yamcha's hand movements, Son Gohan quickly guessed which technique he was using.

"Whoosh..."

Just then, under Yamcha's control, the blue energy sphere turned around and attacked Son Gohan again.

Son Gohan stood perfectly still.

The blue energy sphere quickly struck "Son Gohan" and passed straight through his body.

"Afterimage Technique!"

Krillin was startled and quickly recognized the move Son Gohan had used.

"Damn it!"

Yamcha gritted his teeth, suddenly overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness.

Son Gohan was far too strong. Yamcha couldn't even shake him.

"Whoosh..."

Just then, Son Gohan suddenly appeared in front of Yamcha and punched him to the ground.

"Yamcha!"

"I... I'm fine!"

Yamcha said, struggling to get back to his feet.

At that moment, Son Gohan copied Yamcha's earlier stance and formed a blue energy sphere.

"A-A Spirit Ball?"

Tien Shinhan was startled.

He hadn't expected Son Gohan to learn Yamcha's technique at a glance.

As soon as he finished speaking, Son Gohan tossed the blue energy sphere from his hand, then quickly moved his right palm, sending the Spirit Ball flying all around the sky above the Lookout.

"Explode!"

With a quiet shout, the Spirit Ball exploded high above the Lookout.

A massive cloud of smoke and a burst of flames appeared in the sky.

"Th-That Spirit Ball's power is incredible!"

Yamcha was startled.

The Spirit Ball was his own technique, so he knew exactly how powerful it was.

Is it because he's stronger than me? Yamcha wondered.

Just then, a small cat with blue fur on its back and white fur on its face, chest, belly, inner ears, and the tip of its tail flew over from afar.

It was Yamcha's sidekick, Puar.

He had just been at Korin Tower with Yajirobe, so he hadn't known that Piccolo and the others had arrived.

After Puar showed up, Yajirobe also came up from the base of Korin Tower.

"Master Yamcha!"

"Puar!"

"Master Yamcha, what happened to you? Did something happen just now?"

"Nothing. I was just sparring with Gohan!"

"Gohan?"

Hearing that, Puar immediately looked at Son Gohan.

"So that means he's Son Goku's son!"

"Mm!"

Yamcha nodded.

"Son Goku's son!"

After hearing that, Yajirobe immediately walked over.

"That kid really does look a lot like Goku did when he was little!"

"Uncle Krillin, who is he?"

"He's a friend of your dad's, Yajirobe!"

"Uncle Yajirobe!"

Yajirobe nodded.

"By the way, who won their sparring match just now?"

"Gohan won!"

Krillin said.

"G-Gohan's already this strong!"

Yajirobe was startled.

His strength was about the same as Yamcha's. If Yamcha couldn't beat him, then Yajirobe might not be able to beat Son Gohan either.

"Yeah! Gohan's the strongest among us now. Even Piccolo can't beat him!"

Hearing that, Piccolo shot Krillin a glare.

Krillin's back immediately went cold with fear.

"E-Even Piccolo can't beat him?"

Yajirobe was astonished.

Krillin nodded.

"Um, Uncle Krillin, could I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it, Gohan?"

"Could you ask Aunt Bulma to build me a Gravity Chamber with a hundred times Earth's gravity?"

"A-A Gravity Chamber with a hundred times Earth's gravity!"

Everyone was astonished.

"Yeah!"

"Gohan, do you know how strong a hundred times gravity is?"

Krillin asked.

"I know. It's a hundred times my body weight!"

"If you weigh 20 kilograms right now, then a hundred times gravity would be two tons!"

"Oh!"

Seeing this, Piccolo couldn't help laughing.

"Baldy, just do what Gohan says!"

"I'm not 'Baldy'! My name's Krillin!"

"Then I'll call you Baldy Krillin!"

Piccolo laughed.

"Damn it!"

Hearing that, Krillin clenched both hands and gritted his teeth.

"Uncle Piccolo, Uncle Krillin may be bald, but I'd still like you to call him by his name!"

"..."

Krillin was left speechless.

He really wanted to say, Could we please stop bringing up the bald thing?

"W-Well, all right!"

Piccolo looked at Son Gohan as he spoke.

"Piccolo actually listens to Gohan!"

Yamcha was startled.

As soon as he said that, Piccolo turned a cold gaze on him.

Yamcha immediately covered his mouth with both hands.

Back then, Piccolo's father, King Piccolo, had killed Yamcha, Krillin, and the others, so they still felt a little uneasy around Piccolo.
