The Z Fighters' Strength; Binding Two, Cultivation Effect Increases Again

After blocking the attack, a mocking smile tugged at the corner of Son Gohan's mouth. "What, is this really all you've got?"

No sooner had he spoken than he raised his hand and threw a punch at Abo and Cado in retaliation.

Bang!

Abo and Cado felt an irresistible force surge through their arms, and the next second, they were sent flying backward, flat on their backs.

In that instant, only one thought raced through their minds—

How is this possible?!

His combat power is clearly only around ten million!

Why couldn't I withstand that?

However, before Abo and Cado could figure out why, Son Gohan's figure suddenly appeared in their field of vision, looking down at them with a mocking expression.

In a flash, a nameless rage flared up in their hearts, and they roared:

"Don't get too cocky!"

"I am a super warrior even more powerful than Frieza!"

"Go to hell!"

With a violent shout, Abo and Cado unleashed their full power, and a massive white aura instantly surged around them.

The suddenly erupting energy forced Son Gohan, who had only been using a fraction of his strength, to retreat a short distance.

Watching Abo and Cado charge toward him, Son Gohan's lips curled slightly.

The next second, Abo and Cado reached him and threw a heavy punch.

Son Gohan had anticipated this; he tilted his head slightly, just enough to dodge the attack.

Missing the first strike, Abo and Cado didn't hesitate. As they retracted their fist, they swung the other one, aiming straight for Son Gohan's face.

However, Son Gohan dodged that one with ease as well.

Missing a second time, Abo and Cado didn't lose heart. They quickly changed tactics, using both hands and feet in a lightning-fast assault.

But to their bewilderment, no matter how they attacked, they couldn't land a single hit on Son Gohan.

For a moment, they roared in frustration, "What kind of skill is just dodging around?"

"If you've got the guts, fight me head-on!"

"Arghhhhh!"

Boom!

Following the roar, an even more intense aura exploded outward.

With the force of a thunderbolt, they attacked Son Gohan once more.

Facing this onslaught, Son Gohan no longer dodged, choosing instead to meet them head-on!

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...

Thunderous sounds of impact instantly echoed across the scene!

Every collision caused the heavens and earth to tremble.

If it weren't for the fact that Son Gohan was intentionally using this to regain his combat instincts, Abo and Cado wouldn't have been able to withstand even a single blow from him.

Outside the battlefield, Tarble truly couldn't track their movements. Like Licks, he stood there, looking around in the direction of the sounds.

Unfortunately, relying on the naked eye alone, it was impossible to catch even a trace of them.

Vegeta and the rest of the Z Fighters watched the two of them spinning around in confusion.

"Tarble, if you want to see Gohan and the others, you can't just use your eyes. You must calm your mind and use your senses to track their movement patterns through their ki," Vegeta instructed.

After a pause of a second or two, he added, "Of course, given your current strength, you likely can't keep up with their attack speed."

As he spoke, he glanced at Krillin and the others, continuing, "You see, they are also proficient in ki sensing, but even with their strength, they cannot see the speed at which Gohan and the others are moving."

Although this was the truth, hearing it put this way caused a flicker of embarrassment to cross the otherwise calm faces of Krillin and the others.

Seeing Tarble look toward them, Krillin laughed, using the sound to mask his awkwardness.

"Heh, haha, it can't be helped. Our human talent for cultivation isn't as strong as you Saiyans."

"The gap in strength is too large, so of course, we can't see it."

Just as Krillin finished speaking, Yamcha also gave a carefree smile and said, "Krillin is right."

"There's no helping it; the gap in strength is right there. Even if we wanted to see clearly, we couldn't."

Hearing this, Tarble nodded slowly. "So that's how it is."

This situation was much more reasonable; otherwise, if someone with a combat power of only a few hundred thousand could clearly see the movement trajectories of two combatants with power levels over one hundred million, that would be truly absurd.

At this moment, he once again activated his Insight Eye to check the combat power of Piccolo and the others.

Target: Piccolo

Race: Namekian

Battle Power: 18 billion

Whoa!

Piccolo's base battle power was actually catching up to Nobi Gohan's!

After making a silent assessment, he shifted his gaze to the next person.

Beside Piccolo stood Tien Shinhan.

"Target: Tien Shinhan

Race: Mutant Earthling

Battle Power: 1.2 million"

Tarble paused for a moment upon seeing the words "Mutant Earthling."

Mutant Earthling?

It wasn't Three-Eyed Alien?

Those were the two thoughts that crossed his mind.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that the Earth in this Dragon Ball world was home to animal-type humans and monster-type humans alike.

It stood to reason that someone with three eyes, or even three heads and six arms, would exist.

Mutant Earthling!

No wonder his training speed was so much faster than Krillin's and Yamcha's.

He remembered that during the Vegeta invasion of Earth, despite having the same amount of time to train, Tien Shinhan's battle power had far exceeded that of Krillin and Yamcha.

Clearly, in terms of training talent, Tien Shinhan was much stronger than Yamcha and Krillin.

His gaze continued to move.

Standing next to Tien Shinhan was, naturally, the rather comical-looking Chiaotzu.

"Target: Chiaotzu

Race: Mutant Earthling

Battle Power: 80,000"

He remembered that Chiaotzu wasn't particularly gifted at training, yet he now possessed a battle power of 80,000.

That meant he had been training diligently all these years.

Tarble nodded to himself and moved on to the next person.

Beside Chiaotzu was Krillin.

"Target: Krillin

Race: Mutant Earthling

Battle Power: 300,000"

Huh?

Only 300,000 battle power?

And he was a Mutant Earthling too?

After a brief moment of surprise, Tarble recalled that Krillin didn't have a nose.

That certainly qualified as a mutation; he could only breathe through his mouth.

However, as things stood, the title of "Strongest Earthling" clearly belonged to Tien Shinhan.

Women really do slow down the speed at which a man draws his sword!

Tarble couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

Back on Namek, Krillin had his potential unlocked by the Grand Elder, putting his strength far ahead of Tien Shinhan and Yamcha.

Yet now, he had been overtaken by Tien Shinhan.

Indeed!

Women only hinder a man's sword-drawing speed!

There was no need to guess; Krillin must have been lost in the gentle embrace of Android 18 all these years, unable to pull himself out.

Otherwise, even if his talent was slightly inferior to Tien Shinhan's, his strength shouldn't have fallen this far behind.

What a pity.

With a silent sigh, he shifted his gaze to the side, and Yamcha's brief profile instantly came into view.

"Target: Yamcha

Race: Earthling

Battle Power: 130,000"

Seeing this, Tarble couldn't even be bothered to comment, silently closing his Insight Eye.

Just then, an information box suddenly popped up in his vision.

[Two warriors with Saiyan blood detected nearby. Does the host wish to bind them immediately?]

[Currently bound: 1 person. Remaining slots: 3.]

[Bind] or [Do not bind]

Bind!

Bind!

Of course, bind!

A slight smirk tugged at the corners of Tarble's mouth. After shouting the command three times in his mind, he immediately tapped the [Bind] button with his thoughts.

[Starting to bind target: Vegeta. Binding... Binding complete!]

[Starting to bind target: Son Gohan. Binding... Binding complete!]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully binding two warriors with Saiyan blood. Currently bound: 3 people. Remaining slots: 1.]

[Congratulations, the host's cultivation efficiency has increased by two times. Current multiplier: 4x.]

As three or four messages flashed rapidly before his eyes, Tarble was absolutely overjoyed.

Before binding any targets, the initial cultivation efficiency was only 1x, with the system providing one complimentary binding slot.

The method to increase binding slots was simple and direct: for every dimension of strength broken through, a new binding slot was gained.

Battle power 1 to 10 is the first dimension of strength;

Battle power 11 to 10,000 is the second dimension of strength;

Battle power above 10,000 and below 100 million is the third dimension of strength;

Battle power above 100 million and below 1 trillion is the fourth dimension of strength;

Battle power above 1 trillion and below 10 quadrillion is the fifth dimension of strength;
