One year later, on the Lookout.
Louis arrived here alone; of the four gravity rooms, only three remained occupied.
Son Goku was sitting cross-legged in the center of the Lookout plaza.
"Greetings, Candidate God of Destruction!" Kami walked over and said respectfully.
Over the past year, he had learned of Louis's identity.
"No need for such formalities."
"Yes!"
"How long has Kakarot been meditating?"
"Son Goku has been meditating for half a year."
Kami thought for a moment.
"Half a year, you say?"
Louis stroked his chin and looked toward the other three gravity rooms.
It was clear that Vegeta and the others had a different training method than Son Goku.
One was meditating to gain insight into martial arts, while the others were using the gravity rooms to train their strength.
Teaching according to one's aptitude!
Louis looked into the depths of the Lookout with a meaningful gaze; it seemed Popo was the one who taught him.
"I'll come back later then. Notify me when Kakarot wakes up."
Louis prepared to leave the Lookout.
Suddenly!
An extremely faint, ethereal aura emanated from Son Goku, then vanished.
"Has he laid the foundation for Ultra Instinct?"
Louis looked at Son Goku in the center of the plaza, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Son Goku's current state was exactly the same as his own when he had practiced the state of self-movement.
However, unlike Son Goku, Louis had received the rudimentary form of the state through a system reward and had spent another four years training to reach the Perfect Ultra Instinct!
Son Goku was truly worthy of being the protagonist of Dragon Ball; his talent was indeed extraordinary.
Beyond that, Louis confirmed the thought in his mind: that Popo was certainly no ordinary person...
Son Goku stood up, walked over to Louis, and smiled: "Louis, what brings you here?"
"Have you forgotten what I told you?"
"You mean going to learn the Kaioken?"
Son Goku was delighted.
"Go and call Vegeta out."
"What about Raditz and Nappa?"
"They don't have the talent for it, so no need to call them. Go."
Hearing this, Son Goku nodded without saying anything more.
Son Goku called Vegeta out, and Vegeta was equally delighted; the Kaioken, highly regarded by the Candidate God of Destruction, must be incredibly powerful.
Louis took the two of them and vanished from the Lookout.
North Kai Planet was located in the Other World; if it were an ordinary person, they would never be able to find where the Other World was.
However, Louis was different. As a Candidate God of Destruction, his dimension had reached the level of a Kai, so he naturally knew where the Other World was located.
Louis brought Son Goku and Vegeta across the barrier of the mortal realm and arrived in front of Enma's Palace in the Other World.
"Halt!"
A spectral guard from Enma's Palace stepped out.
"Are you mortals? How dare mortals trespass into the Other World? Guards, beat them back to the mortal realm..."
Before he could finish, a voice of terror rang out from inside Enma's Palace.
"Which... which Kai has descended upon Enma's Palace?"
A massive bull-headed figure, looking much like the Ox-King, ran out with a panicked expression.
However, he soon realized that the visitor was not one of the five Kais he was familiar with, but a young man with a dimension equal to a Kai, accompanied by two mortals.
This...
"You must be Enma. I have business with North Kai, so don't bother me unless it's important."
Louis said indifferently, then flew toward Snake Way with Son Goku and Vegeta.
Enma, left behind, dared not speak, his heart filled with confusion as to who this new Kai might be.
Along the Snake Way, Son Goku and Vegeta remained silent the entire time.
"Hey, Vegeta, why is everyone so afraid of Louis?"
"Don't be an idiot, who wouldn't be afraid of a Candidate God of Destruction?"
"Is a Candidate God of Destruction very strong?"
"He could kill you with a single finger, you tell me if that's strong or not?"
"Louis, is what Vegeta says true?"
Son Goku looked at Louis with eyes shining with excitement.
Louis's mouth twitched slightly; this fool isn't thinking of challenging me to a duel, is he?
Seeing that Louis didn't answer, Son Goku spoke up: "Louis, can you fight me..."
"No!"
Louis cut him off directly. Having said that, he felt they were moving too slowly, so he grabbed Son Goku and Vegeta and vanished from the Snake Way.
The next second, they appeared at the end of the Snake Way.
Hovering above the end of the Snake Way was a very small planet.
"Let's go!"
Louis flew with the two of them onto North Kai Planet.
The moment they landed.
"Ho ho ho~"
A large ape appeared before the three of them.
"Bubbles, stop bothering me."
Louis, recognizing exactly who it was, swatted it away with a single slap.
Son Goku and Vegeta gulped; what a rude guy.
"North Kai, come out here." Louis's voice echoed across the entire North Kai Planet.
North Kai, who was sleeping on the far side of the planet, opened his eyes instantly.
Who on earth was it?
How dare someone disturb his, the North Kai's, sleep!
Fuming with rage, North Kai ran for a minute until he finally stood before Louis.
"Who are you? Don't you know that disturbing someone..."
"Hiss!"
North Kai suddenly gasped, staring at Louis: "Who are you? Why is your dimension so high?"
"And two mortals?"
North Kai's eyes widened in shock. What was going on today? Why had a strange god with the dimension of a Kai come here?
"Alright, North Kai, I came here because I want you to teach these two the Kaioken and the Spirit Bomb."
"How do you know I possess those two techniques? And who are you?" North Kai frowned deeply.
"Enough talk, just teach them if I tell you to." Louis said impatiently.
"I can teach them, but you have to tell me a joke first."
North Kai was very confused about Louis's identity; when did another Kai appear?
And the fact that the other party brought two mortals here just to have him teach them the Kaioken and the Spirit Bomb?
However... the aura of this Kai before him wasn't evil, so it wasn't entirely impossible to teach them.
"..."
Two black lines streaked across Louis's forehead. Another joke?
"North Kai, do you recognize this?"
Louis raised his hand, and a purple energy manifested in his palm.
Suddenly!!
A gale force wind whipped up, and the entire North Kai Planet began to tremble!!
Seeing this, Son Goku and Vegeta were shaken to their cores.
Facing this power, neither of them could even muster the thought of resisting. It was clear that if they were hit by it, they would certainly not survive.
Son Goku and Vegeta exchanged a glance; this Louis was simply too terrifying.
"You... how do you possess Destruction energy??"
North Kai was startled; the scene of Beerus destroying his planet all those years ago was still vivid in his mind!
"Could it be... could it be that Lord Beerus is dead?"
North Kai's face turned deathly pale, and he kept swallowing hard, trembling in terror.
Far away in the God of Destruction Realm, Beerus suddenly sneezed. Who was talking behind his back?
"If Lord Beerus found out you were saying such things about him, do you think your North Kai Planet would still be standing?"
"Lord Beerus really isn't dead?"
North Kai crawled on the ground as if shielding his North Kai Planet, his voice trembling: "No... please don't, this is the last planet I have left!"
"Relax, I have no interest in your North Kai Planet; just make sure you train those two well." Louis dissipated the energy of destruction in his hand.
"If Lord Beerus isn't dead, then you must be the current Candidate God of Destruction!!!!"
North Kai stood up from the ground, shocked.
Good heavens!
That lazy bum actually took on apprentices!
Louis spoke up: "North Kai, no problem, right?"
North Kai dared not object and swallowed hard: "Rest assured, Lord Candidate God of Destruction, I will certainly train them well!!"
"Fine, then I'll leave them to you."
Louis turned to look at Son Goku and the other: "Just train hard. I'm leaving now, and I'll come back to pick you up in a year."
Just as Louis was about to leave, he turned back and added: "Oh, right, the Spirit Bomb might not be suitable for everyone. It's fine if you can't learn it; you just need to master the Kaioken."
Before they could transform into a Super Saiyan, the Kaioken was the most useful technique for them.
As for the Spirit Bomb, it seemed only those with a pure heart could master it.
Not everyone could learn the Spirit Bomb, and Louis was giving Vegeta a heads-up now to prevent him from having a breakdown if he couldn't master it later.
After saying this, Louis departed.
