Five Million in Battle Power

Piccolo snorted and glanced at Son Gohan beside him.

"Gohan, if there's nothing else, shall we head back?"

"Okay!"

Son Gohan nodded.

"Uncle Krillin, when the Gravity Chamber is finished, could you let Uncle Piccolo know?"

"P-Piccolo!"

Krillin's expression changed at once when he heard that.

"Um... Gohan, when the Gravity Chamber is finished, how about I come find you myself?"

"That works too!"

"Here, take this Capsule. It has toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other things inside. There's enough to last you half a year!"

Mr. Popo tossed a Hoi-Poi Capsule to Son Gohan.

"Thanks!"

Son Gohan thanked him and put the Hoi-Poi Capsule away.

Piccolo: "Shall we head back?"

"Mm!"

Son Gohan nodded.

"Goodbye, Uncle Krillin! Goodbye, everyone!"

"Goodbye!"

Everyone waved goodbye to Son Gohan.

Seeing this, Son Gohan immediately left the Lookout with Piccolo.

"I never thought Gohan would grow so much so quickly!"

Watching the two leave, Krillin remarked with some emotion.

"Yeah!"

Tien Shinhan nodded.

"We used to look up to Son Goku as our goal, but now..."

Krillin and the others lowered their heads.

They had all wanted to catch up to Son Goku, but there was nothing they could do about it. Son Goku was more talented at training and more diligent than they were.

After a brief silence, Yamcha suddenly raised his head and looked at Krillin.

"Krillin, how about you ask Bulma about the Gravity Chamber?"

"Sure!"

Krillin nodded.

It wasn't as if he was one of the main fighters anymore.

Poof!

With that, Krillin immediately left the Lookout.

Elsewhere.

Son Gohan and Piccolo had returned to their training grounds.

"Gohan, how about I train with you from now on?"

"Train together?"

"Yeah! You may be stronger than me now, but I can still spar with you!"

"Well... all right!"

West City, at Bulma's house.

Bulma was sitting idly beside a table, reading a magazine.

A figure suddenly dropped down from the sky.

It was Krillin.

"Bulma!"

"Ah!"

Startled by Krillin's sudden appearance, Bulma jumped up from her chair.

Once she recognized him, she smacked Krillin's bald head with her right palm.

"Krillin, are you trying to scare me to death?"

"What are you talking about, Bulma? I clearly called out to you. You just didn't hear me!"

Bulma snorted.

"Go on, why did you suddenly come looking for me today?"

"Well, Gohan came to see me today and asked me to get you to build him a hundred-times Gravity Chamber!"

"A... a hundred-times Gravity Chamber!"

Bulma was shocked.

"Yeah! Gohan's the strongest among us now!"

"The strongest? But isn't Gohan only five years old?"

"Yeah! But Gohan's a Saiyan, and his talent is incredible!"

"I see. But I've never built anything like a Gravity Chamber before, so I don't know if I can do it."

"That's okay. Just do your best!"

"Sure!"

One day later.

Son Gohan's battle power reached one hundred thousand.

At that moment, Son Gohan was sitting cross-legged atop a small mountain peak.

"Ding! Congratulations, Master, your battle power has exceeded one hundred thousand. You have received the Transformation Technique!"

"The Transformation Technique?"

As soon as the voice faded, a flood of memories about the Transformation Technique appeared in Son Gohan's mind.

"Reward complete. Please keep training hard, Master!"

"Okay!"

"What's wrong, Gohan?"

Piccolo asked when he saw Son Gohan suddenly staring into space.

"Nothing, Uncle Piccolo!"

"Is that so?"

With that, Piccolo closed his eyes and began meditating.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the course of that week, Son Gohan's battle power surpassed one million.

At that moment, Son Gohan was doing one-arm push-ups.

"Ding! Congratulations, Master, your battle power has exceeded one million. You have received Instant Transmission, Gum Ghost, and ninety-nine Senzu Beans!"

As soon as the voice faded, a flood of memories about Instant Transmission and Gum Ghost appeared in Son Gohan's mind.

"Reward complete. Please keep training hard, Master!"

"Gum Ghost?"

Son Gohan was stunned.

He remembered that this technique belonged to Gotenks.

"Hey, system, could you give me some decent techniques?"

"Decent? What's indecent about Gum Ghost, Master?"

"Nothing, it's just too childish!"

"But, Master... aren't you a child?"

"I'm only a child on the outside. I've been an adult on the inside for ages!"

"Oh, so you're still a child!"

"Damn it, System! Come out and fight me if you've got the guts. I'll smash your head in!"

The system yawned when it heard that.

"Master, I'm inside you. If you've got the guts, hit yourself!"

"You think I wouldn't?"

"Then do it!"

Son Gohan lightly tapped his chest with his right fist.

"..."

The system fell silent.

"Are you afraid to hit yourself any harder?"

"System, do you really think I'm an idiot?"

After hearing that, the system couldn't be bothered to bicker with Son Gohan anymore.

Son Gohan continued training.

Three weeks passed in the blink of an eye.

Son Gohan's battle power had now reached five million.

At that moment, he stood atop a mountain peak with both fists clenched, trying to transform into a Super Saiyan.

"Ah!"

With a loud shout, an incredibly powerful aura suddenly burst from Son Gohan.

The ground across hundreds of thousands of miles trembled violently under the influence of his aura.

As his aura spread, Tien Shinhan and the others on the Lookout all sensed its immense power.

"S-so powerful! This aura... it seems to be Gohan's!"

Yamcha swallowed nervously.

Then he nodded slightly.

Korin Tower.

Yajirobe had been fighting Korin over a fish, but the instant he sensed Son Gohan's aura, he stopped what he was doing. A look of disbelief crossed his face.

"Th-this aura... could it be Gohan's?"

"Yeah!"

Korin nodded.

"Th-that kid... is he some kind of monster?"

Korin calmly gazed down at the world below.

"Gohan!"

Krillin was on his way to Son Gohan's location, and a look of disbelief had appeared on his face.

Then he sped up and hurried toward Son Gohan.

On North Kai Planet.

Son Goku, who was training on King Kai's Planet, also sensed Son Gohan's aura.

"This aura... could it be Gohan's?"

"But that can't be. How could Gohan's strength become this great all of a sudden?"

North Kai said solemnly, "This aura... really does belong to Son Gohan!"

"It... it really is Gohan's!"

Son Goku was stunned.

He knew Son Gohan had immense potential within him, but he hadn't realized it was this immense.
