Launch's eyes lit up, and she ran over to Goku's Flying Nimbus, asking curiously:

"What a huge marshmallow!"

"Hehe, it's not a marshmallow! It's called the Flying Nimbus!"

Goku rubbed his nose and explained.

"Flying Nimbus? What a strange name!"

Launch said innocently. Then she reached out, stroked the Flying Nimbus, and gently sat down on it.

"Ah!"

"You can actually sit on the Flying Nimbus. That means you must be a good person!"

Goku said with certainty.

"Since that's the case, let's take her back with us. She doesn't seem very bright, so she probably doesn't have anywhere else to go!"

Ziye suddenly suggested.

"Okay!"

With that, the four of them rode the Flying Nimbus toward Kame House!

The Flying Nimbus streaked across the sky like a golden line, and soon they arrived at Kame House.

"What a pretty house!"

Launch said innocently.

"Old man, we're back! We brought you a really beautiful girl!"

Goku excitedly jumped off the Flying Nimbus and shouted.

Hearing this, Master Roshi immediately rushed out of the house. The moment he saw Launch, he jumped with excitement.

"You did well. From now on, you three are my students!"

Master Roshi nodded, speaking with satisfaction.

"Welcome to my humble home, beautiful lady."

Master Roshi said with great courtesy.

"Hello, old man. Your grandson saved me, so I'm very grateful!"

Launch bowed slightly and thanked him.

"Think nothing of it! Actually, those three aren't my grandsons. They're my younger brothers!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed, and they stared in shock at Master Roshi, who dared to say anything.

"Haha, I was just joking with you."

Apparently sensing the awkwardness, Master Roshi laughed and scratched his head before explaining.

"I figured you were joking."

Launch wiped the sweat from her forehead, gave an awkward laugh, and replied.

"Actually, they all came to ask me to teach them!" Master Roshi added.

Launch's mouth fell slightly open in surprise. "Old man, so you teach martial arts! No wonder they're so strong!"

"Of course!"

Master Roshi nodded proudly.

"But, old man, you haven't taught us yet!" Goku said, scratching his head with an utterly sincere expression.

"Ahem..."

"Master Mutten is famous throughout the martial arts world. Everyone knows of him. He's hailed as a legend of martial arts! He doesn't just accept anyone." Krillin gently nudged Goku, then quickly explained.

Hearing Krillin's explanation, admiration showed on Launch's face. "Wow, old man, I had no idea you were so amazing!"

"Haha, it's nothing!"

Master Roshi smiled smugly and waved a hand dismissively. Then he sidled up to Krillin and whispered in his ear:

"Kid, you've got potential. Stick with me and study hard from now on!"

Hearing this, Krillin nodded vigorously and hurriedly replied:

"Yes, Master Mutten!"

"Old man, are you done talking? When can we start training?"

Goku, standing nearby, urged him impatiently.

"I know, I know! You three go put on your training clothes first!"

Master Roshi stared intently at Launch's breasts as he waved the three boys away.

"Yes!"

At that, the three of them nodded together and headed into Kame House!

After changing, they followed Master Roshi's instructions and went to a huge boulder!

"Ahem!"

"Now we begin training!"

"But first, I need to test your basic abilities. Run from this boulder to that tree over there, and I'll time you!"

Master Roshi cleared his throat and spoke.

"I'll go first!"

With that, Krillin stepped forward and struck a running pose.

"Ready, go!"

At Master Roshi's signal, Krillin sprinted off and soon reached the finish line.

"Not bad! You did it in 10.4 seconds."

"You really are talented!"

Hearing Master Roshi's praise, Krillin got a little carried away. He waved a hand casually and said, "That time's nothing special. My best is 10.1 seconds!"

"Next up is Goku!"

"Okay!"

"Here I go!"

With that, Goku struck a casual pose and shot off with a whoosh.

"E-eight point five seconds..."

"That's so strong it's almost ridiculous!"

Master Roshi said, his mouth twitching.

"Now it's my turn!"

Ziye spoke softly, then took up a running pose too.

Whoosh!

Before Krillin could react, Ziye had already reached the finish line, as fast as a gust of wind.

"S-so fast!"

Krillin said in astonishment.

"Ziye's amazing!"

Goku jumped up excitedly.

"S-six point four seconds! Even faster than Goku. That's just absurd!"

Master Roshi looked at Ziye in disbelief.

"Very good. You're all promising youngsters. If you train hard, running it in five seconds won't be difficult. Make sure you keep training from now on!"

"Yes!"

The three of them nodded together.

"Are you finished training? I've got dinner ready, so come and eat!"

At that moment, Launch ran out wearing an apron and shouted.

"Great! We can finally eat!"

Goku said excitedly.

"Wait. Before dinner, you have one last training exercise today!"

"Come with me."

With that, Master Roshi led Ziye and the other two to a steep cliff. Night soon fell, and moonlight lit the way; otherwise, they would surely have gotten lost in the darkness.

Then Master Roshi picked up a random stone from the ground, wrote the character "Turtle" on it, and hurled it with all his strength. The stone shot toward the forest!

"Your final test today is to retrieve that stone. The two who don't find it aren't allowed to eat dinner."

"And if you take longer than thirty minutes, none of you will get dinner!"

"Do you understand?"

At that, the three of them nodded together.

"Good. Begin!"

The next second, all three raced into the forest.

Master Roshi's battle power: 139 (not including his muscular form) Sun Wukong's battle power: 16 Krillin's battle power: 8 Blonde Launch's battle power: 7 (with a gun) Blue-haired Launch's battle power: 1 Ziye's battle power: 36
