The Second Trial: Catch Gregory! (1)

At last, Heaven did not disappoint those who worked hard.

After two hours of nonstop pursuit, Bubbles was finally caught in Raditz's hands.

None of them knew whether Raditz had figured out the pattern, or whether Bubbles had simply gotten so tired that he no longer wanted to keep going and gave up...

Of course, that no longer mattered.

Raditz came over and sat down beside Son Gohan, panting faintly, as if he had used up a great deal of stamina in the chase just now.

The other three also saw Raditz's problem, but since he had completed the trial, it did not really matter even if he had spent a little more time.

Then all that's left now is Gregory.

Bubbles had not put even the slightest pressure on Son Gohan, but when he saw Gregory, who looked very much like a bee, he felt the pressure.

Gregory's speed was such that even Son Goku, after gathering and bursting out his ki, might only barely be able to keep up with him.

Not to mention that they still had not fully adapted to the strange gravity of this planet. Trying to catch Gregory like this was basically impossible.

However, Son Gohan knew Gregory's weakness. As the saying went, the more outstanding a strength was, the easier it was for a corresponding weakness to show.

Gregory's speed was indeed fast, but his weakness was that his turning agility was far too poor!

It was just like how the faster a sports car was, the harder it became to use it for turns and drifting, because the required control, power, and demands on its own materials and structure were too high.

In terms of absolute speed, Son Gohan currently could not catch Gregory, but he could think of another way.

For example...

Next, King Kai did not have everyone continue on to the next trial. Instead, he prepared a lavish feast for Son Gohan and the other three.

But after that, these few people let King Kai witness what true big eaters were.

Son Goku, Son Gohan, and Raditz, as members of the Saiyan race famous for their huge appetites, left King Kai frozen in place.

King Kai just stared blankly as Son Goku and Raditz ate at lightning speed, like starving ghosts reincarnated.

Although Son Gohan had the same enormous appetite, he could not completely disregard his image.

So he ate much faster than an ordinary person, but looked far more elegant.

Piccolo did not even approach the dining table. He had taken a portion long ago and sat down somewhere else, slowly eating without even glancing over.

Very soon, the huge table of food was cleared out by the three Saiyans, and the meaning in their eyes as they looked at King Kai was obvious: they still were not full.

King Kai's cheek twitched. Fortunately, the food here was delivered regularly by someone in charge of it. Otherwise, if they kept eating like this, they could finish half a year's worth of his food in just a few days.

"Ah~~ hiccup~~"

Son Goku and Raditz both let out a satisfied burp and were sitting there picking their teeth.

Son Gohan, like Piccolo, sat cross-legged on the ground in a meditative state. He did not want to waste even a single moment now, doing everything he could to improve his strength and potential.

King Kai's Planet had no night. It was forever in a state of daylight.

And Son Gohan finally solved one of the mysteries in Dragon Balls, which was whether King Kai went inside to sleep or not.

The answer was yes.

And King Kai did not sleep for just an ordinary length of time, because when Son Goku and Raditz woke from deep sleep, King Kai still had not come out of the house.

However, Gregory and Bubbles arrived ahead of time.

"Ahem!"

Gregory came in front of everyone and coughed a few times. Then he swept his gaze over the people present and said, "Everyone, my name is Gregory. I am the chief examiner Lord King Kai has arranged for your second round of trials."

"As for the goal of your second trial, it is very simple. It is more or less the same as the first trial. You only need to catch me."

"But I advise you to use your full strength as much as possible when you try to catch me later. Otherwise, you might not even be able to see my shadow clearly."

Gregory's expression could not be seen at all for certain reasons, but his tone was filled with confidence. No, it should be called smugness.

The first to take the trial next was naturally Son Goku, who had long since been itching to try at the side.

Whoosh~

Without the slightest hesitation, Son Goku moved and turned into a black blur, charging straight at Gregory.

This time, his movements were not like before. Instead, they seemed extremely smooth. It was obvious he had grasped the key to this planet's gravity during the time earlier.

In truth, none of the people present were truly lacking in talent. Even Raditz, the weakest among them, was still a member of the Saiyans, a warrior race.

But in the next instant, something happened that left Son Goku stunned. Before he could get close to Gregory, the latter instantly turned into a golden ray of light and vanished from where he stood.

"Where are you looking?"

Gregory's voice jolted Son Goku out of his surprise. The instant he caught that the voice had come from behind him, he turned around and reached out to grab Gregory.

But in the next instant, Gregory turned into a streak of golden light again and disappeared.

Buzz~

This time, Gregory appeared behind Son Goku again, and he moved along with the direction Son Goku's body and gaze turned.

But Gregory did not see that Son Goku, who was pretending to search for him, did not have the slightest trace of confusion or panic in his eyes.

After all, the current Son Goku was not the Son Goku from the original work. He had entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train before.

In terms of battle power alone, he was already on a completely different level from the original, so he could naturally do things differently from the original as well.

In the very next instant, Son Goku abruptly turned and grabbed at Gregory, but the latter was startled and hurriedly turned into a streak of light, retreating backward.

Son Goku's legs erupted with power as he chased after him, and his speed was actually not much slower than Gregory's.

This scene did not surprise Son Gohan. He had long expected that if Son Goku unleashed his current strength, he should not be inferior to Gregory in speed.

Gregory really was shocked. This was the first time he had seen a life-form who had come here to train barely keep up with his speed, and just now, he had almost been startled by him too.

One chased while the other fled, but no matter how Son Goku burst forth, once he realized he had no way to keep up with Gregory's speed, he decisively gave up.

Walking to the side and sitting down, Son Goku raised a hand to rub the back of his head and smiled helplessly. "Aw, I'm really sorry. Gregory's just too fast. I still can't catch up."

After Son Goku finished speaking, there was no need to ask who would be next.

After a cold snort sounded, Piccolo stood up and walked toward Gregory, his expression utterly calm, revealing nothing at all.

Son Gohan could only smile. Because his intervention had changed much of Piccolo's original experiences, things were already different from the original.
