Spirit Bomb (Middle)

"What, two hundred times? Better yet, three hundred times?"

Bulma immediately cried out in alarm, "Are you out of your mind? Forget three hundred or two hundred times—even one hundred times gravity would be more than you could handle."

"Are you turning into the same kind of idiot as Goku? Do you even know what gravity means?"

And so, Son Gohan listened to Bulma tear into him for nearly ten full minutes, while a drop of cold sweat also slid down King Kai's forehead.

Only after Bulma finally stopped did Son Gohan speak. "Sister Bulma, listen to me. The place my father and I are in right now has an environment of ten times gravity."

"What? Ten times gravity?"

Bulma froze for a moment when she heard that, then asked suspiciously, "Where are you and your father right now?"

"King Kai's Planet," Son Gohan answered honestly.

Bulma blinked, then asked in disbelief, "King Kai's Planet? Wait, so neither of you are on Earth right now?"

Son Gohan replied, "That's right. We really aren't on Earth right now."

To be precise, they were not in the dimension where Earth existed.

Bulma's thoughts instantly ground to a halt, and she immediately asked, "You and your father don't have a spaceship, so how did you get to an alien planet?"

Son Gohan could only answer as briefly as possible. "We came to King Kai's Planet from the underworld through Snake Way."

"The underworld? Snake Way?" Bulma was truly speechless. She rubbed her brow and asked, "By the underworld, do you mean the one with King Yemma?"

"Yes," Son Gohan answered.

Bulma took a deep breath, as if suppressing her anger. "Are you messing with me? Do you think my IQ is that low?"

Son Gohan smiled bitterly in helplessness. He was clearly telling the truth, so why did Bulma insist on not believing him?

After Son Gohan then gave a detailed explanation, Bulma finally believed that what Gohan said was true.

"Fine. Since you really need it and can withstand it, I'll make it for you. But because the upper limit you're asking for is a little high, I'll need some time to prepare," Bulma explained.

Son Gohan hurriedly said, "No problem. My father and I still need to stay here for close to another three months. As long as you can develop it, that's fine."

"Don't worry. I'll only finish ahead of the time you gave me, not later. You and your father will definitely be able to see it when you return to Earth."

"But..." Bulma suddenly fell into thought.

Son Gohan sensed that she seemed to have more to say, and he knew he had to be the one to speak up now. "Go ahead. I'm listening."

"That, uh, King Kai's Planet of yours, right?"

"Right."

"Does it have any local specialties?"

"..."

"No way. A whole planet doesn't even have its own local specialties? Are you kidding me?"

Son Gohan was thinking about what special products King Kai's Planet actually had, but Bulma was not letting him off.

"Could King Kai's Planet be some terribly barren place? But that shouldn't be the case. The fact that you can survive there proves..."

At that moment, King Kai's cheek had been twitching nonstop. By the time Bulma was halfway through her sentence, his body had already begun to tremble.

Son Gohan naturally sensed something strange in King Kai's body, but by the time he wanted to speak, it was already too late.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Bulma. I truly apologize that my King Kai's Planet has no local specialties," King Kai said, veins bulging on his forehead as he forcibly held back his anger.

"Ah, huh?" Bulma was startled by the sudden sound of a man's voice.

"This is Lord King Kai, a god of an even higher level than Kami and King Yemma," Son Gohan quickly explained.

"A g-god even greater than Kami?" Bulma immediately stammered a little.

"Yes," Son Gohan said, feeling a little helpless about Bulma.

"S-sorry about earlier, Lord King Kai. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against someone like me. Just pretend you didn't hear what I said," Bulma hurriedly softened her voice.

Fortunately, North Kai had a very good temper, and after hearing Bulma's apology, he did not pursue the matter any further.

"I have some fruit wine I brewed myself. I'll have Gohan bring it to you when the time comes," King Kai said.

"Th-thank you, Lord King Kai. When I have time, I'll definitely come to your door and offer a formal apology."

As soon as she finished speaking, King Kai directly cut off the telepathic link, then turned to Son Gohan and said, "Now you can properly train your Spirit Bomb, can't you?"

"Yes, Lord King Kai." Son Gohan nodded.

King Kai then left the spot directly, but as he walked along, his heart was somewhat shaken.

Two hundred, three hundred times gravity—this was no joke. His place might seem impressive with ten times gravity, but if it increased to twenty times, even he himself might not be able to endure it.

He was not simple at all.

In King Kai's heart, his evaluation of Son Gohan grew higher and higher. Whether it was his persistence in becoming stronger, his wisdom and decisiveness in handling matters, or the emotional intelligence he had just shown in dealing with people, all of it made King Kai very satisfied.

In truth, King Kai had favored Son Goku at the very beginning, because he had a very pure heart, and that kind of mindset was perfect for training.

But looking at it now, this Son Gohan suited King Kai's tastes even more.

Soon, another month had passed. It had been five months since Son Gohan and the other three arrived on King Kai's Planet.

By then, Son Goku, Piccolo, and Raditz had all mastered the Kaioken one after another, but as for the ultimate technique, the Spirit Bomb, only Son Gohan and Son Goku could master it.

Piccolo did not want to learn it, while Raditz simply could not learn it at all.

At that moment, Son Gohan was standing on the grass, while Son Goku and the others stood a little way off, watching. Only King Kai was nearby beside him in the field.

Son Gohan closed his eyes and raised both hands toward the sky, beginning to use the Spirit Bomb.

His spiritual power began to spread rapidly outward, and very soon it covered the entirety of King Kai's Planet.

Son Goku, Piccolo, and the others all sensed it: a wave carrying Son Gohan's aura swept over their bodies and sent out a request.

That request came naturally within the spiritual power, and its meaning was very simple: it was asking them to give a little ki.

Soon, whether it was the trees, flowers, grass, or everyone present, ki separated from their bodies and rapidly gathered toward Son Gohan.

Before long, a large amount of ki condensed onto his body, causing a silver, flickering glow to appear over Son Gohan.

At that moment, Son Gohan's expression began to turn solemn.

Gathering this ki was not that difficult. The difficult part was how to condense it, and that required extremely powerful mental cultivation and spiritual power.

Son Gohan took a deep breath and began mobilizing his powerful spiritual power, moving the ki from around his body toward his right hand.

At first, the ki was unwilling to accept Son Gohan's command, but under the soothing and pressure of his spiritual power, it finally obediently listened and gathered over.

It worked!
