I have to say, the two of them were shocked. So far, the strongest being they had encountered was the God of Destruction, who was already the ceiling of this universe!
[Beep! System task triggered! Task: Spar with Sun Gohan!]
At that, Luya froze for a moment, then a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes. This was perfect—he wanted to see what level his strength was at, too!
Thinking this, Luya looked at Sun Gohan and said, "You're a Saiyan, too. Would you spar with me?"
Sun Gohan froze, then pointed at himself, looking confused. "You want to spar with me?"
Piccolo looked at Luya, seemingly lost in thought.
Luya nodded. "Yes. Is that okay?"
Gohan glanced at Luya, then looked to Piccolo for his opinion.
Piccolo was silent for a moment, then nodded. "In that case, Gohan, go ahead and spar with him!"
Gohan nodded. "All right, Uncle Piccolo!"
A moment later, Luya and Gohan stood on the ground, only about twenty meters apart.
Luya smiled faintly. "Let's begin!"
Gohan's expression turned serious. He took off his glasses and assumed a fighting stance!
The two stared intently at each other, but neither made the first move.
"Ha!"
In a flash, Gohan shot forward!
Luya's expression changed, and he charged forward as well!
Boom!
As soon as they clashed, they were evenly matched, their speed and strength on par!
Piccolo watched the battle from above, his expression calm.
After dozens of exchanges, Gohan suddenly grabbed Luya's arm and swept out with a kick!
Luya could only hurriedly raise his arm to block. A heavy blow landed, sending him flying!
Boom!
Luya crashed into a small mountain, which exploded on impact. Billowing dust swallowed him up!
Gohan descended from the air and asked, looking a little embarrassed, "Was I too rough?"
Piccolo replied calmly, "His ki is actually no weaker than yours. But something seems to be wrong with him, and he can't control that power, so you should be careful!"
Hearing this, Gohan's carefree expression vanished. He watched Luya's direction intently.
Once the dust cleared, Luya suddenly stood up and brushed the dirt off himself. His expression hadn't changed at all.
Gohan narrowed his eyes, his expression turning serious.
Luya couldn't help sighing. His battle power was already 100 million, but he still hadn't adapted to such intense ki. Through the system, Luya knew Sun Gohan's battle power was 130 million, far greater than his own!
In truth, given Gohan's potential, his battle power should have been much higher!
But he had neglected his training over the years, and Chi-Chi had also insisted that he focus on his studies, turning him into a scholar.
In terms of battle power, even Piccolo's ki was stronger than Gohan's before he turned Super Saiyan!
Luya looked at Gohan and smiled. "Again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from the spot!
Gohan didn't waste any words and vanished as well!
The two clashed again. From the ground, all anyone could see were the shock waves their blows produced; they were moving too fast to make out!
After fighting Gohan, Luya gradually began to gain better control over his ki!
But Gohan still had him on the back foot!
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Suddenly, Gohan leaped into the air and began firing Ki Blasts at Luya one after another!
Luya refused to back down and fired countless Ki Blasts in return!
The two launched a direct beam struggle! The space between them erupted in a series of explosions, the battle growing ever more intense!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Gohan disappeared. In the next instant, he reappeared behind Luya and drove an elbow into him, slamming him into the ground. Another cloud of dust burst into the air!
Hovering above him, Gohan brought both hands together at his waist and began gathering ki...
"Kame... hame... ha!"
"Ha!"
Gohan unleashed a Kamehameha. Its enormous shock wave blasted straight toward the spot where Luya had crashed!
Boom!
In an instant, the entire valley was flattened!
Piccolo watched from the air, feeling a little helpless. The kid held back too much when told to ease up, but when told to get serious, he went overboard. After taking that Kamehameha, Luya would probably be badly injured, if not dead!
Gohan hovered above the thick smoke, staring down with a serious expression. He didn't think he had won. On the contrary, a hint of unease had already crept into his heart...
Soon, the smoke cleared. A blurry figure stood within it, and Luya's form gradually came into view!
"H-how can this be?!" Gohan gaped at the sight of Luya!
Piccolo couldn't stay calm either. He stared at Luya, unable to hide his shock.
"Su... Super Saiyan!!"
A golden aura surrounded Luya, and his hair stood on end, turning golden as well. His ki was countless times stronger than before...
[Beep! Host has activated the Super Saiyan bloodline and transformed into a Super Saiyan. Battle power has reached five billion!]
After activating his Super Saiyan bloodline, Luya successfully transformed. His battle power had surged from 100 million to five billion!
A fiftyfold increase!
"Ha!" Luya roared, powering up. His immense aura swept outward, sending sand and rocks flying in a spectacular display!
"I never thought there'd be other Saiyans who could become Super Saiyans, apart from the Saiyans on Earth!" Sun Gohan suddenly said with a smile. His eyes were beginning to fill with fighting spirit, too!
The stronger the opponent, the more a Saiyan's pride was roused!
"Ha!"
Gohan roared and powered up, his hair instantly turning golden!
Super Saiyan!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Wrapped in a powerful golden aura, Gohan's lips curled into a faint smile. "Let me see what a Super Saiyan from another universe can do!"
Luya looked at Gohan. Gohan's potential hadn't been unleashed yet, but after transforming into a Super Saiyan, his battle power had already reached an astonishing 6.5 billion!
So strong!
Stronger than him!
Luya's expression turned grave. He knew that with his current strength, he couldn't beat Sun Gohan!
The difference was only 1.5 billion, but the gap between them was still enormous!
Thinking this, Luya suddenly stopped powering up and returned to his normal form.
Piccolo and Gohan both froze, baffled.
Luya smiled. "I can't beat you anymore!"
Gohan hesitated, then stopped powering up as well and returned to his normal form.
"Earth's warriors really haven't disappointed me!" Luya laughed.
Gohan smiled, too. "You're strong as well. Being able to fight me this far means you're already very strong!"
Luya nodded with a smile.
[Beep! Congratulations, host. Task complete!]
[Task reward: 100 million battle power...]
[Technique reward: Kamehameha...]
[Technique reward: Instant Transmission...]
The mechanical prompt rang in Luya's mind, and his heart leaped with joy!
Setting the battle power aside, the Kamehameha and Instant Transmission were absolute treasures in the Dragon Ball world!
At that moment, Luya felt he could completely take Sun Wukong's place as the protagonist!
But that was only wishful thinking. Although his power was already impressive, he was still far behind Sun Wukong and the others!
Gathering his thoughts, Luya turned to Piccolo and Gohan and asked, "You came here to investigate who used the Dragon Ball, right?"
Piccolo's expression stiffened. "How did you know?"
Luya smiled faintly. "Because I know who it was!"
"Who?"
