Following the Dragon Ball Radar's guidance, Gohan collected the Dragon Balls scattered across every corner of Earth. Each time he found one, he took a picture and shared it in the Chat Group.
The Dragon Balls in Gohan's world could grant wishes, and Kakashi Hatake couldn't help envying him. If only Dragon Balls existed in his world too.
They could bring the dead back to life. Kakashi had several people he wanted to revive.
Kakashi Hatake: [@Lu Bian, when are you going to get stronger and give the Chat Group more useful features?]
Lu Bian: [I'm already working hard. I train for about eight hours every day.]
Kakashi Hatake: [You should train for sixteen hours a day.]
Lu Bian: [So you want me to spend all day training, except when I'm asleep?]
Kakashi Hatake: [You don't need to eat, so you don't need to relieve yourself either. Training for only eight hours is still too leisurely.]
Lu Bian: [Kakashi, how about this: I'll train for as long as you do each day. How's that? I don't have enough motivation to train all by myself.]
Kakashi Hatake: [Group owner, are you sure?]
Lu Bian: [A real man keeps his word. Once it's spoken, four horses can't chase it down.]
Kakashi Hatake: [Good. We'll train together and keep each other on track.]
[Kakashi Hatake downloaded Ultimate Boundless Qigong.]
Kakashi Hatake: [Group owner, I hope you can stick with it.]
Lu Bian: [Who's afraid of whom?]
---[Group administrator Shi Tianwu added a check-in feature.]
Lu Bian: [Brother Tianwu, how come you can add new features to the Chat Group too?]
Shi Tianwu: [Because I'm a group administrator, I have some authority over the Chat Group. But all I can add are small features like this that aren't much use.]
Lu Bian: [The check-in feature is pretty pointless.]
[Kakashi Hatake checked in first. Give it a try too~!]
[Lu Bian checked in second.]
Lu Bian and Kakashi Hatake had started competing with each other, and both began training. The Chat Group was suddenly swept up in a fervent training craze, which even affected the two old men, Whitebeard and Edward.
"Hm?"
"Did this Dragon Ball fall into the sea?"
"Kame House is nearby. I should go visit Grandpa Master Roshi."
Gohan took the Dragon Ball Radar and flew toward Master Roshi's island.
On the beach in front of Kame House, Master Roshi and Krillin were training too.
Krillin had taught Ultimate Boundless Qigong to Master Mutaito. What shocked Krillin was that Master Mutaito had mastered it even faster than he had, despite being the younger one.
"Krillin, do you remember the Thunder Shock Surprise I used before?"
"The Ultimate Boundless Qigong you taught me has a lot in common with the Thunder Shock Surprise."
"Master Mutaito really is something else. Your student still has a lot to learn," Krillin said.
"Hehe~!" Master Mutaito laughed.
Master Mutaito was happy when his students surpassed him. Now that he had a chance to surpass them, he was even happier.
But in the end, Master Mutaito had started training again because the future was uncertain. If the gap in strength hadn't been so great that going into battle would only mean throwing his life away, he would have joined the fight long ago.
After gaining the magnetic-field martial arts knowledge of Ultimate Boundless Qigong, Master Mutaito was the first to enter the Electric Current Propulsion realm. He was also close to entering the Magnetic Field Rotation realm.
Perfect Realm was a new martial arts concept to Master Mutaito, but that didn't mean it hadn't existed in the past. Master Mutaito had reached the Perfect Realm, and he had reached a high level of it.
"Grandpa Master Roshi, Uncle Krillin~!"
Gohan dropped from the sky and landed on the beach, greeting the two of them.
"Huh? Gohan, what brings you here?"
"Uncle Krillin, I'm collecting the Dragon Balls. I was passing by, so I came to see you," Gohan replied.
"I see!"
"Gohan, this Ultimate Boundless Qigong is an incredible martial art~! I feel like I'm getting younger!" Master Mutaito said to Gohan.
"Grandpa Master Roshi, you've gotten so much stronger!"
"Right? Hahaha!"
Master Roshi wore a white tank top, hands on his hips, his face alight with a brilliant smile.
"Gohan, how many Dragon Balls have you found so far? Do you need any help?" Krillin asked.
"I've found three already. The next one's in the sea," Gohan said. "It's okay, I can handle it myself."
"Come on, Gohan. Let's spar," Master Mutaito said, beckoning him over.
"Huh? Can I?"
"Don't worry. I've been sparring with Krillin these past couple of days. I've got all his moves figured out," Master Mutaito said.
"Master Mutaito, saying that makes me sound useless. I was just holding back when I sparred with you," Krillin complained.
"Okay, here I come."
Gohan handed the Dragon Ball Radar and the bag holding the Dragon Ball to Krillin for safekeeping, then sparred with Master Mutaito.
They kept their power levels at the same level as they sparred. Every so often, arcs of electricity flickered across Master Mutaito's body.
With their power levels equal, Master Mutaito's Perfect Realm made it hard for Gohan to win. It also opened Krillin's eyes as he watched.
The Saiyans truly were a battle race famous throughout the universe. Gohan was a half-breed who had only started training at four. Now, at seven, he had only trained for two years, yet he could fight evenly with the elderly Master Mutaito, the God of Martial Arts.
"Whoa!"
"Ha!!"
Gohan plopped down on the beach.
Drenched in sweat, Gohan had lost to Master Mutaito. He'd been beaten by his lack of experience.
"Whew! That was exhausting!" Master Mutaito wiped away his sweat too.
"Gohan, I have high hopes for you," Master Mutaito said, catching his breath.
"Huh?" Kid Gohan looked at Master Mutaito.
"It's only a matter of time before you surpass your father," Master Mutaito said with a smile.
"Mm." Gohan nodded.
Everyone in the Chat Group said the same thing, so Gohan was getting used to hearing it.
"But, Gohan, you have some bad habits."
"Your battle instincts aren't as flexible as Goku's."
"What do I mean?" Master Mutaito stroked his chin.
"Right, it's like doing math problems. Your issue is that you solve them by plugging them into formulas."
"There are many ways to solve a problem, but once you've learned the best method, you keep using only that one over and over."
"Didn't you notice? I hit your right shoulder several times during our spar."
"Sometimes, Gohan, you need to take the long way around and think of more ways to handle things," Master Mutaito advised.
"I understand, Grandpa Master Roshi."
"Sometimes, I can take the long way around..." Gohan quietly repeated to himself, committing the words to memory.
Gohan's dream was to become a scholar.
The other Son Gohan from the future had been called a bookworm, and there was nothing wrong with that at all.
