920 VS 1500 (So tired from working overtime on Double Eleven.)

Raditz naturally saw the tail wrapped around Son Gohan's waist, and naturally could tell the boy was also a Saiyan.

But confident that his battle power suppressed the other's, Raditz opened his mouth and questioned him. "Which unit do you belong to? I remember this planet already had someone assigned to it long ago. There shouldn't have been any other Saiyans sent here."

"You came looking for Kakarot, didn't you?" Son Gohan asked back calmly.

Raditz froze at that, then narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "You know where Kakarot is? Then hurry up and take me to him!"

"He's my father," Son Gohan said with an unreadable smile on his face.

"Mm? He's your father?"

Surprise showed on Raditz's face. "I didn't expect Kakarot to actually have offspring with life from this low-class planet. But your battle power is just about passable. Once we find your father, I can vouch for you both to join His Highness's squad."

"So, take me to see him now."

Son Gohan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that won't be as you wish, my dear Uncle Raditz."

Hearing this, Raditz's previously rather pleased expression suddenly darkened. His voice carried a hint of coldness. "Do you know what you're saying right now? Do as I say like a good boy, and I may still show you some consideration."

Son Gohan twisted his neck, looked at Raditz sidelong, and said, "My father is busy with something right now, so I'll be the one to entertain you."

Raditz lowered his hands and said in a heavy voice, "Kid, you may think you're strong on this planet, but I'm afraid you don't understand that there is always a sky beyond the sky, and people beyond people."

Son Gohan smiled. "Indeed. It's been a while since I fought anyone. I hope you can let me enjoy myself."

At those words, anger began to appear on Raditz's face. "Kid, it looks like if I don't teach you a proper lesson today, you won't know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth."

Whoosh. The next moment, Raditz's body suddenly shot forward, bringing up a fierce surge of air.

With Son Gohan's current strength, the other party's speed naturally was nothing in his eyes, but what he wanted to do now was suppress his own strength and fight.

Controlling his ki at a balanced level, maintaining steady fluctuations even during the most intense battle—this was the goal Son Gohan had set for himself.

920 battle power VS 1500 battle power

In Raditz's understanding, the two sides' battle powers were already more than 500 points apart. This should have been a completely crushing battle.

But when his sure-hit punch was dodged by Son Gohan, the confidence in his heart began to waver.

For a low-level warrior among Saiyans like Raditz, naturally, it was impossible for him to have learned any profound combat techniques.

However, after experiencing battles on who knew how many planets and exchanging blows with who knew how many races in the universe, the killing techniques honed amid guns and fire were not weak at all.

Every punch aimed for Son Gohan's vitals, with no concern at all over what would happen if he killed the other party with one blow.

Once battle began, there was no such thing as mercy or concession. This was the Saiyan way of fighting.

But the more they fought, the more Raditz realized that every one of his attacks was dodged by Son Gohan by the narrowest of margins. Every time, it missed by just that tiny bit.

Raditz could understand it as luck once or twice, but if this state continued, then it was something completely different.

"Impossible!?"

Raditz retreated and stopped, his face full of disbelief. The other party clearly only had a battle power of 920. Even if he was hiding his strength, it shouldn't have produced this kind of result.

"Could it be a racial talent?"

Raditz thought to himself. Having fought countless battles, he naturally knew that certain races in the universe possessed all kinds of strange talents. Perhaps this was one of the other party's talents as well.

Since that was the case, Raditz suddenly floated into the air, and the aura around his body began to surge.

"Let me see how you dodge this move!"

After Raditz shouted in a low voice, his hands, already glowing faintly, abruptly danced forward at high speed. One energy cannon after another broke free from his palms, shooting rapidly toward Son Gohan like a sky full of bullets and spears.

Son Gohan did not move. His originally raised hands had already lowered, and his whole body seemed completely relaxed, growing loose and slack.

The large number of energy cannons Raditz blasted out before him continuously slowed in his eyes, and the gaps between them began to enlarge and link together.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

Under Raditz's shocked gaze, the other party's body seemed to turn into a slippery fish, beginning to weave through his dense energy by constantly swaying his body and dodging past.

Son Gohan's entire body seemed to turn into modeling clay. Every muscle was under his control, sensing danger at every moment and dodging on its own.

At first, he still seemed somewhat strained, and even nearly got hit by an energy cannon, but as time passed, Son Gohan's movements grew more and more effortless.

Moreover, under the dense barrage of energy cannons, Son Gohan began to move his feet, pressing step by step toward Raditz.

"Impossible!"

Raditz let out a low roar. His battle power detector showed no movement at all, proving the other party had not erupted with any energy that raised his battle power.

In other words, the other party was relying entirely on his body to dodge his attacks.

"I refuse to believe you can dodge this move too!"

Raditz stopped wasting his energy. He brought his hands together in front of his chest and began gathering energy. A vast aura converged on his palms, and immediately after, he thrust forward fiercely.

An energy cannon far larger than the previous ones erupted at once, roaring as it shot straight toward Son Gohan.

This time, Son Gohan did not dodge, because at such a close distance, unless he unleashed all his strength, it was impossible for him to evade this energy cannon.

But would he dodge?

The answer was no!

Son Gohan suddenly stomped his left foot forward. Countless fine cracks were instantly pressed into the ground beneath him. At the same time, he raised his right hand and swung his fist forward.

"You actually dared to block my Roaring Cannon with your fist? Let's see how you survive this!"

When Raditz saw what Son Gohan was doing, a cruel smile instantly spread across his face, as if he could already see the other party being gravely wounded by this move and begging for mercy.

But fantasies were beautiful, while reality was always harsh.

When Son Gohan's fist collided with Raditz's Roaring Cannon, a scene that left the latter in disbelief appeared.

Raditz had been utterly confident. This full-power Roaring Cannon was something even Nappa would not dare take head-on like this, yet under Son Gohan's punch, it was smashed straight through.

Immediately, the Roaring Cannon split apart into large amounts of stray energy, scattering away around Son Gohan before dissipating into the air.

"That's it?"

Withdrawing his fist, Son Gohan looked at Raditz with the same smile as before, but this time, the latter felt that no matter how he looked at it, that smile was chilling!
