A Dragon Ball

"Just like I said, in a 2-times-gravity training room, a 60-kilogram body would feel as if it weighed 120 kilograms. If we can adapt to the gravity in that environment, then even by a conservative estimate, our battle power could reach 90,000!" Sun Yu replied calmly.

"N-ninety thousand! How is that possible?" It wasn't that Lana didn't want to believe Sun Yu; it was just that, to her, a battle power that high seemed astronomical.

A battle power of 90,000... Were they even Saiyans anymore?!

Sun Yu smiled faintly and stood, walking over to the window. "Lana, never underestimate the potential of us Saiyans."

A battle power of 90,000 was only the initial stage of unlocking one's potential. Only when one's battle power reached 500,000 would one truly reach a bottleneck. By then, ordinary training methods would hardly bring any improvement. To become stronger, one would have to transform into the legendary Golden Warrior—the Super Saiyan!

After transforming into a Super Saiyan, one's battle power could increase fiftyfold! In other words, an original battle power of 500,000 would soar to 25 million. What a terrifying number!

The road ahead was long...

Out of the corner of his eye, Sun Yu happened to spot a little black cat in the yard. He recognized it at once: the cat had appeared throughout the entire Dragon Ball anime. It was the favorite pet of Dr. and Mrs. Briefs, and right now it was rolling around with a Dragon Ball in its paws...

Wait! A Dragon Ball!! And it was a Two-Star Ball, no less. Sun Yu could no longer stay calm. He cursed the Briefs family's ancestors for generations in his heart. They'd actually given a Dragon Ball to a pet cat as a toy!

I'll never understand the world of the rich!

Sun Yu leaped straight out the window and rushed toward the little black cat. Catching it off guard, he grabbed it by the scruff with one hand and picked up the Dragon Ball from the ground with the other.

"Huh? Xiao Sun, what are you doing out in the yard?" Mrs. Briefs returned to the living room carrying a large platter of pastries and spotted Sun Yu in the yard.

Lana came out of the house, casually took a pastry from the platter Mrs. Briefs was holding, and asked as she ate, "I was wondering the same thing, Kael. Did you come out here just to pick up this glass marble?"

"Yeah, this is it. Mrs. Briefs, do you know where it came from?" Sun Yu asked.

Mrs. Briefs pointed at Bulma, who was hiding behind Lana. "Oh, Bulma found that glass ball by the roadside. Scratch really likes it, so we let him keep it as a toy."

Scratch was the little black cat's name.

"This thing is called a Dragon Ball. There are seven of them in all. Once you gather all seven, you can summon Shenron and have any wish granted," Sun Yu explained briefly. "Mrs. Briefs, this thing gives off a steady wavelength. Do you think you could make a radar to detect its location?"

"That's such a marvelous thing! I'll go ask my husband. You two enjoy the pastries in the meantime!" Mrs. Briefs said, taking the Dragon Ball from Sun Yu.

"The Gravity Training Room can wait. If possible, make the Dragon Radar first," Sun Yu said.

"Got it."

With that, Mrs. Briefs hurried off to her husband's lab.

"Kael, is the Dragon Ball you mentioned really that amazing?" Lana was clearly very interested in it too.

"Have you heard of Namek?"

"Namek? You mean..." Lana had heard the legends about Namek, of course, but like most people in the universe, she'd assumed they were just exaggerated rumors.

Sun Yu nodded. "That's right. The legends about Namek are true, and Earth's Dragon Balls are real too. But Earth's Dragon Balls are inferior to Namek's. You can think of them as knockoffs."

"Wow, Kael, you sure know a lot! Have you decided what you're going to wish for?" Lana asked. Though she was asking about Sun Yu's wish, she had one of her own that she hoped would come true.

"Not yet. I'll decide when the time comes..." In truth, Sun Yu hoped to use the Dragon Radar to find Korin Tower and then train with the Guardian.

"Honestly, you're such a blockhead!" Lana muttered unhappily.

Later, Sun Yu found weighted gear for both himself and Lana, similar to what Son Goku wore in the original Dragon Ball. Each set weighed 20 kilograms. Even Lana, whose battle power was already over 100, struggled a little the first time she put hers on.

The next day, Dr. Briefs successfully made the Dragon Radar. It sure was convenient to have someone with maxed-out tech skills around. After getting the Dragon Radar, Sun Yu decided to say goodbye to Dr. and Mrs. Briefs. They tried hard to persuade him to stay, but Sun Yu was determined to leave. When little Bulma heard that big brother Sun Yu was going away, she cried until her eyes were red. She looked absolutely heartbreaking.

"If you were a little older, I could take you on adventures with me," Sun Yu said with a helpless sigh.

"Kael, so you really are after Bulma!" Lana egged him on from the side.

In the end, Sun Yu had no choice but to bring out the ultimate weapon against little girls. That's right—it was a lollipop!

There's an old saying in China: there's no little girl you can't win over, only a lollipop you can't afford!

After successfully placating Bulma, Sun Yu and Lana finally set off on their journey to find the Dragon Balls.

The search was only interesting at the very beginning. Sun Yu soon realized that, for people as powerful as them, there was no one on Earth who could stop them. As a result, they found the Dragon Balls far more easily than expected.

And so, the only fun on their journey was eating and drinking their way across the land. They also enjoyed finishing their meals without paying, then making the shopkeepers chase them through the streets. Eventually, they turned Dragon Ball into A Bite of Earth. Where the Dragon Balls were no longer mattered. What mattered was where they could find good food!

Somewhere in the highlands, Mount Paozu.

"Grandpa Gohan, this grilled Earth Dragon is delicious!" Lana said, heartily chewing the grilled Earth Dragon in her hands and sincerely praising Grandpa Son Gohan's cooking.

That's right, Sun Yu and Lana had arrived at Mount Paozu, where Son Gohan lived, because he had a Four-Star Ball.

After learning why Sun Yu and Lana had come, Son Gohan not only readily handed over the Dragon Ball but also warmly treated them to a meal.

"Haha, I'm glad you like it. Don't rush—there's plenty more!" Son Gohan said with a laugh.

After eating and drinking their fill, Sun Yu stretched contentedly. Then he suddenly remembered something and said to Grandpa Son Gohan, "Grandpa Gohan, if I'm not mistaken, you're Master Roshi's student, right?"

Sun Yu's words surprised Son Gohan, but he readily admitted it. "How did you know my master, young Sun?"

Anyone who had watched Dragon Ball knew Master Roshi!

"I've heard so much about him. I've wanted to pay him a visit for a long time, but never got the chance," Sun Yu said with a sigh. "I wonder, Grandpa Gohan, if you could demonstrate your Turtle School's signature technique for me—the Kamehameha!"
