Goten Transforms into a Little Super Saiyan

Hearing Gohan's words, Piccolo, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"How is that possible, Gohan? Goten is just a child right now; don't start teaching him something so difficult right off the bat!"

Piccolo chuckled, clearly thinking Gohan was joking.

After all, little Goten was only a few years old, not even old enough for elementary school.

Even if he was Son Goku's son, he couldn't just transform into a Super Saiyan on his first try!

But little did he know, Gohan ignored Piccolo entirely and began instructing little Goten with a serious expression.

He spent ten minutes explaining what it felt like to be a Super Saiyan, then encouraged him to give it a try.

"Alright, try to build up your rage just like I explained!"

With a burst of effort, little Goten's expression changed, and his entire body shuddered. The resulting energy flow caused Piccolo's face to change color.

In the blink of an eye, with Piccolo's jaw dropped in shock, little Goten transformed into a Super Saiyan 1!

"Big brother, is it like this? Wow, it's so easy, I did it right away!"

His hair changed color instantly; he had achieved Super Saiyan 1!

Piccolo was completely dumbfounded, unable to believe his eyes: "How is this possible? Is, is this really a Super Saiyan?"

A child of only a few years old, mastering it the moment he was taught—Piccolo's worldview was completely shattered.

Gohan, however, remained calm. Knowing exactly what to expect, he smiled and nodded.

"Hmm, not bad. Now, let's try transforming into Super Saiyan 2!"

At these words, Piccolo couldn't hold back anymore. His sense of reality was pulverized; hearing that Super Saiyan 1 wasn't enough, he was now being asked to transform into Super Saiyan 2!

Was this some kind of joke?

"Wait, Gohan, I think transforming into a Super Saiyan is already impressive enough. No matter how talented Goten is, he can't possibly reach Super Saiyan 2!"

"We should take this slowly!"

Unfortunately, Gohan didn't have that much time to spare. With Goten's aptitude, reaching Super Saiyan 2 was quite simple!

Even Super Saiyan 3 could be achieved with a bit more training.

It was just that Goten didn't understand his own potential yet, and even if he transformed into Super Saiyan 2, with his current strength, he wouldn't be able to fully utilize its power.

However, transforming into Super Saiyan 2 would grant little Goten a significant boost. As a demonstration, Gohan showed him the techniques for the transformation.

"It's something like this. How should I put it? Super Saiyan 2 increases your power, but it comes at the cost of your speed."

"So, Super Saiyan 2 is about absolute power, while Super Saiyan 1 is a balanced development. It doesn't necessarily mean Super Saiyan 2 is always better than Super Saiyan 1!"

That was true; Super Saiyan 2 increased combat power, but that increase was purely in raw strength, which actually hindered speed.

When facing a fast opponent, Super Saiyan 2 wasn't as effective as Super Saiyan 1!

That was also why Vegeta had never bothered with Super Saiyan 2.

Following his guidance, little Goten looked earnest. Since he was very interested in the transformation, he was able to grasp it completely with just a little instruction.

And just like that, it took only ten minutes of training to complete the Super Saiyan 2 transformation.

With one final push, he went from Super Saiyan 1 to Super Saiyan 2!

It really took only ten minutes, causing Piccolo's face to change drastically once again. He finally understood that the entire Saiyan family was a bunch of monsters.

It was terrifying!

"Big brother, I did it! Wow, Super Saiyan 2 feels so different from Super Saiyan 1. I feel such powerful energy all over my body!"

Goten hopped around, overjoyed and excited about completing the Super Saiyan 2 transformation.

Watching all this, Gohan looked satisfied. The playful smile on his lips made Piccolo shiver.

He understood clearly that Gohan having Goten master Super Saiyan 2 was likely for his own training purposes!

He silently offered a moment of sympathy for the innocent little Goten.

The excited little Goten, of course, had no idea what would happen next now that he had learned Super Saiyan 2.

Seeing that little Goten had achieved Super Saiyan 2, although his combat power was still inferior to Piccolo's, the two of them working together would definitely serve as decent training partners. He wanted to quickly raise his Ultra Instinct to 1%.

At the same time, he wanted to get his Destructo Disc to 100% and earn another chance at a draw!

Staring at the excited little Goten, Gohan said with a playful smile.

"Alright, Goten, now I'm going to teach you some combat training. This is how you fight enemies, so that if you ever encounter a dangerous foe in the future..."

"You'll be able to protect yourself. That is the goal of our training!"

Little Goten nodded, half-understanding.

Gohan was very satisfied. He started in his Super Saiyan 1 state and spoke to Piccolo, who was standing nearby.

"Uncle Piccolo, you and Goten attack me together. Don't hold back, just use 100% of your power."

"I can still handle it for now!"

Having witnessed Gohan's abilities yesterday, Piccolo didn't doubt him for a second upon hearing such a confident request.

Piccolo nodded, his expression turning serious. Without a second thought, he gathered his energy and unleashed 100% of his power.

The terrifying energy made little Goten gape in shock; he was starting to realize that he might have been dragged into something troublesome!

Looking at the expression on his brother Gohan's face nearby, he wondered if this fight wasn't just practice.

Was this for real?

After an hour of morning training, Gohan had brought his Destructo Disc to 99% completion, just a hair's breadth away from 100%!

At 100%, he would be able to use the technique perfectly.

He would be able to cast it instantly without a moment's pause, and even fire them rapidly from both hands.

As soon as he hit 100% completion, Gohan looked at Goten and Piccolo, stepped back to create some distance, and entered his Super Saiyan 1 state.

Without a moment's hesitation, he unleashed the ability!

He wanted to see its true power!

"Destructo Disc 100%, 10-fold barrage!"

Whoosh!

With a wave of his hands, the 10-fold barrage was unleashed in one fluid motion, taking less than a second.

The sudden volley of ten discs smashed toward them, causing Piccolo's expression to change drastically. He moved instantly.

With a burst of speed, he reached the stunned Goten and grabbed him.

He narrowly dodged the continuous barrage of discs, which went on to level several mountains behind them.

Rumble!

As the mountains collapsed, Goten, still held by Piccolo, finally realized what had happened after seeing the destruction behind them.

His face turned deathly pale, and he nearly burst into tears.

"Big brother, if I had taken that hit head-on, I would've been killed!"

Beside him, Piccolo had cold sweat dripping down his forehead. Even Krillin couldn't manage a 10-fold barrage that powerful, yet Gohan had unleashed it with ease.

He couldn't help but feel that Gohan's current progress was terrifying.

He said with a stern face, "Goten is still young and just mastered Super Saiyan 2; this 10-fold barrage of yours is too dangerous."

"Even Frieza could have been killed by this back in the day. Don't use moves like this recklessly—at least wait until Goten has full control over Super Saiyan 2!"

Goten nodded repeatedly. Having narrowly escaped death, he realized that training with his brother was truly terrifying.

That 10-fold barrage had left him with quite a bit of psychological trauma!

Gohan chuckled. Seeing the 100% completion of the Destructo Disc, the system notification popped up, granting him a lucky draw opportunity.

It made him look forward to the next ability he would acquire.

Unfortunately, while the Destructo Disc had reached 100% completion, allowing for a 10-fold barrage in 0.1 seconds, his Ultra Instinct was still at 0.5%, far from even 1%.

There was still a massive gap; Ultra Instinct was truly difficult to master!

He hadn't even broken through the 1% mark yet; he wondered how much time 100% would take!

Could it be that the intensity of his training was still too low?

After all, it was difficult for Piccolo and Goten to push him into a corner during their sparring sessions.

Due to the nature of Saiyan blood, it was hard to improve without being pushed into a desperate situation, engaging in intense combat, or challenging one's limits.

He began to think about how to improve himself further.

With the morning training over, he asked Piccolo to take Goten back. Seeing that it was getting late, he needed to head back to school.

He immediately used his Flight Technique and rushed toward the school.

To avoid being late, he accelerated, his figure turning into a streak of light before vanishing.

Watching this, Piccolo let out a sigh of relief. Over the past two days, he had actually become a bit afraid of training with Gohan.

This kid's strength had completely surpassed his own, and with that Destructo Disc, there was no one on Earth who could withstand it!

"No, wait. If there's anyone left on Earth who could take it, it's only that guy."

"Vegeta... that guy might still be able to do it!"

Piccolo curled his lip. He was very curious to see what kind of expression Vegeta would make when he realized Gohan was progressing so rapidly that he was closing in on him.

Piccolo was truly looking forward to the day Gohan grew stronger, surpassing both Vegeta and Goku.

He had felt hopeless before, but now, he could finally see a glimmer of hope.

Little Goten, standing to the side, had also stopped his training; being young and unable to endure such hardship, he looked completely exhausted.

He sat on the ground with a pained expression, saying, "Big brother is amazing. Is big brother stronger than Uncle Vegeta now?"

"Even though Uncle Vegeta is also very strong!"

Piccolo smiled, and remembering something, he turned to little Goten: "That's right, Goten, weren't you planning to go play with Trunks?"

"How about I take you over there now?"

Little Goten's eyes lit up, and his face immediately brightened: "Really? Trunks has so many toys; I want to go find Trunks."

"But Mom told me to stay home and do my homework; she won't let me go play with him!"

Piccolo laughed heartily and said, "It's fine. Since Gohan is here, he can help explain things. I can take you to Trunks' place right now!"

Little Goten nodded repeatedly, completely unaware of Piccolo's intentions.

Simple-minded as he was, he only thought about the toys and happily agreed.

"That's great, Uncle Piccolo! You and my brother are both so good to me. Hehe, I'm going to Trunks' place!"

Piccolo was very satisfied. Instead of sending little Goten home, he took him straight to Bulma's house.

His purpose in doing this, of course, was for Gohan's training!

He was still very much looking out for Gohan's best interests.
