King Kai reached out to stop him. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Piccolo, Gohan, wait here for a bit. I'll go pick up Krillin and the others." After saying that, Sun Wukong vanished in a flash.
King Kai: "..."
King Kai had nearly cursed out loud.
Did you plan to treat this place like your own home?
Could you stop acting like you owned the place?
Master Roshi's house.
Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu were gathered there.
Besides the four of them, Master Roshi, Bulma, Turtle, and Oolong were in the room too.
Krillin and Yamcha excitedly recounted the battle and described the incredible strength Sun Wukong had displayed.
"Wukong got so strong in less than a year since we last saw him. I can hardly believe it." Master Roshi sighed again and again.
"As expected of Wukong! He's amazing. He's never let us down," Krillin said with a smile.
"I checked Wukong's battle power with a Scouter once." Bulma pointed at the Scouter on the table, which had already been discarded, and sighed deeply. "But this model couldn't handle Wukong's immense battle power! It went off the charts."
"Hahaha, Bulma, you should've seen it! Vegeta, that Saiyan prince, got beaten to a pulp by Wukong." Yamcha laughed, looking thoroughly pleased.
"A prince?" Bulma blinked, her lovely eyes widening.
"That's right, Bulma. Wasn't your childhood dream to find a prince charming?" Krillin teased. "I don't know if Vegeta is charming, but he really is a prince—and a Saiyan prince, at that."
Bulma's cheeks flushed. Then she suddenly came to her senses, planted her hands on her hips, and glared at Krillin.
Yamcha's face turned green. He glowered at Krillin, grinding his teeth in anger.
"I'm just joking, just joking! Nobody take it seriously!" Krillin said, trying to smooth things over.
"Hmph! As if I'd ever fall for such a vicious Saiyan!" Bulma snorted.
"Anyway, things should be peaceful for a while now, right? There shouldn't be any more danger!" Krillin breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Let's hope so... I'm sick of living on edge," Oolong said with a nod.
"We have Wukong to thank for all this. If not for him... who knows how many people would've died when Vegeta and Nappa came to Earth!" Chiaotzu said, his face full of gratitude.
"That's right. You don't know how dangerous it was!" Yamcha shuddered just thinking about it. "That Saibaman suddenly leaped at me. It was probably planning to hold on to me and blow itself up! If Wukong hadn't helped, I'd have been blown to pieces!"
"We should keep training. We can't let the gap between us and Wukong get too big, can we?" Tien Shinhan said thoughtfully, feeling a little bitter.
I'm an alien too—the Three-Eyed People.
So why does the gap between my strength and Wukong's keep growing?
"You're right, but how should we train?" Krillin rubbed his bald head.
As they were talking,
"Whoosh!"
Sun Wukong used Instant Transmission to appear inside Kame House.
"Oh... you're all here!" Sun Wukong waved to everyone.
"Wukong!"
"Wukong, you're here!"
"Wukong, how did you suddenly appear?"
"Wukong, you're incredible! You beat those two Saiyans so easily!"
Everyone excitedly crowded around Sun Wukong, greeting him all at once.
Sun Wukong laughed and kept scratching his head.
After a little small talk, Sun Wukong got down to business and explained why he'd come.
"So, that's what happened. Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, do you want to train with King Kai?" Sun Wukong asked with a smile. "If you do, I can take you there right now."
"I'm going! I want to get stronger too!" Krillin clenched his fists, his expression resolute.
"Of course I'm going too." Tien Shinhan smiled faintly. "I don't want Wukong to leave me too far behind!"
"I'll go with Tien," Chiaotzu said with a nod.
"I'm not really keen on going... but since you're all going, I guess I'll have to go with you." Yamcha was a little nervous and didn't much want to put in the effort to train.
"You should go train!" Bulma huffed, pouting unhappily.
My boyfriend is always arguing with me.
It's a good thing if he goes to train. That way, he won't be chasing after other women all the time.
"Then all right. Hold hands, and I'll take you to King Kai to train." Sun Wukong grinned, then turned his gaze to Master Roshi. "Hey, Grandpa Roshi, it's been a long time."
"It sure has. You've been dead for almost a year, after all." Master Roshi nodded, not thinking much of it.
"Then, Grandpa Roshi, we'll be going." As he spoke, Sun Wukong took Krillin and the others with him using Instant Transmission. In the blink of an eye, they vanished.
Soon, Sun Wukong appeared on King Kai's planet with Krillin and the others.
King Kai: "..."
King Kai's face had turned black as a lump of coal.
Did you really think this place was your home?
Who does that? You brought a whole crowd here in one go!
And they're all living people. They need to eat every day!
If you brought dead people, that'd be easier. They wouldn't need to eat.
As soon as Krillin and the others appeared on King Kai's planet, the planet's tenfold gravity left them all gasping for breath.
Fortunately, the lowest battle power among them was still 1,000—twice as high as Wukong's had been when he first came to King Kai's planet.
"Krillin, Piccolo, train hard here. I'm going to find a place to train too." Sun Wukong's expression grew more serious. Then he gave Son Gohan a special look. "Gohan, are you going to train here? Don't you want to go home?"
"Dad, I'll stay and train for a while, then go home," Son Gohan said with a determined nod.
"All right." Sun Wukong waved, then vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, Sun Wukong used Instant Transmission to return to the Sacred World of the Kai.
Old Supreme Kai: "..."
Supreme Kai and Kibito wore dark expressions too, speechless.
What did you think the Sacred World of the Kai was?
A place you could come and go as you pleased?
And you're way too good at using Instant Transmission, aren't you?
"Why are you back again?" Old Supreme Kai glared at him, his beard bristling.
"Oh... Lord Old Supreme Kai, I'm planning to train here for a while and get my strength back to its peak as soon as possible." Sun Wukong scratched his head and laughed.
"Suit yourself!" Old Supreme Kai rolled his eyes, looking completely indifferent.
"Hey, Lord Supreme Kai, you should be stronger than me right now, shouldn't you?" Sun Wukong looked excitedly at Supreme Kai.
Supreme Kai: "..."
So you do know I'm stronger than you.
