Preparations Before Leaving (3) [Remember to vote and collect!]

"Ready for what?" Bulma asked, utterly puzzled.

Son Gohan explained, "Earth's martial artists are all very good at hiding their ki and keeping it from leaking out, because that lets them avoid wasting the ki inside their bodies as much as possible."

"Only when they need to fight do they release it all at once. So if I unleash all my ki, my power level should shoot straight up!"

Bulma nodded and said, "I know that much. That lecherous old man said truly powerful martial artists are good at guiding their ki to nourish their bodies, and they don't casually leak their powerful aura."

Son Gohan nodded. "As long as you understand. Then I'm going to unleash all my ki next, because I want to see what my current peak power level really is!"

Ever since his fight with Raditz, Son Gohan had never known exactly how high his power level was. He could only make a rough judgment.

Actually, a Scouter was still somewhat useful in the early stages. It was only once energy reached a higher level and exceeded the Scouter's range that people could only judge one another's strength by the size of their ki.

After thinking for a moment, Son Gohan said seriously to Bulma, "Big Sister Bulma, you should hold on tightly to something first, because if I release my aura, it might cause a powerful current of air. I'm afraid you'll be blown away."

"Ah, is it really that exaggerated?"

At this time, Bulma had not yet experienced what would happen on Namek, so she did not have a clear understanding of these things yet.

But since Son Gohan had said it so seriously, Bulma still ran behind a tree not far away, then asked, "Is this okay?"

Son Gohan nodded, then took a deep breath. With a sudden shout, he began to draw out all the power inside his body.

Boom!

A fierce aura of ki surged violently from Son Gohan's body. Immediately afterward, it whipped up the air around him and swept out in raging waves in every direction.

Hiding behind the big tree, Bulma, who had originally thought she would be very safe, was instantly blasted into shrieking and yelling. Terrified, she immediately hugged the tree.

Boom!

Waves of aura and air currents, each stronger than the last, kept surging outward, and the Scouter Bulma was wearing also kept beeping nonstop.

A flood of numbers flashed rapidly across it, and soon they turned into a string of figures.

3700... 5800... 8900... 9900...

Very quickly, the number on the Scouter broke through four digits and reached five digits!

Even then, Son Gohan still had not stopped releasing his aura. He was still continuously raising his ki.

The thick clouds in the sky were directly blasted apart by that powerful aura, and all the tables and chairs around them were blown flying backward.

Korin's Temple.

"T-this is that kid's ki. I never thought that after such a short time, he would already have broken through to this level!"

Standing on the railing at the edge of Korin's Temple, Korin gazed toward the west, in the direction of West City where Son Gohan was, and exclaimed in astonishment.

Such a terrifying aura was something Korin had felt for the first time in the eight hundred-plus years he had lived. Whether it was Demon King Piccolo back then or Master Roshi, neither had been able to reach this level.

"Good, good."

Kami's Lookout.

Standing at the edge of the lookout, Kami looked toward West City and could not help nodding. He was very satisfied with Son Gohan's strength.

The stronger he was, the safer this Earth would be!

At this moment, all of West City was shrouded beneath an incomparably domineering aura, and every civilian began taking shelter from the sudden hurricane.

Everyone felt as if they were out in the wilderness, being watched by an utterly terrifying beast.

Bulma now felt as if she were in the middle of a violent hurricane. She even felt like her feet could hardly keep her standing.

But the Scouter was still working. Its beeping continued without end, proving that Son Gohan's power level was still constantly rising.

11700... 12600... 15500.

In the end, the number on the Scouter fixed at 15500, and Son Gohan seemed to have raised his aura to its limit as well.

Whoosh~

The next moment, Son Gohan withdrew his aura again, and the Scouter finally stopped its earlier alarm.

At last, everything returned to calm.

If not for the tables, chairs, and stools scattered all over the ground, as well as all kinds of things in total disarray, it would have been impossible to tell what had happened here just now.

Bulma panted heavily. Her clothes had been blown into a complete mess, and her hair, which had originally been tied up, had been blown entirely loose.

Just as she was dazed, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking the light and making Bulma, who was lying there, subconsciously look up. It was none other than Son Gohan.

"Big Sister Bulma, are you okay?"

Son Gohan held out his hand in front of Bulma and asked with a look full of concern.

At this moment, Bulma suddenly felt her heartbeat speed up sharply, but she soon snapped back to her senses.

"I-I'm fine."

Taking Son Gohan's hand and standing up, Bulma hurriedly tidied her clothes and hairstyle, then said, "Listen, if you're going to make such a huge scene next time, can you explain it clearly to me in advance? Do you know that acting like this is very ungentlemanly?"

Son Gohan shrugged helplessly and said, "I did warn you."

Waving her hand, seemingly to cover up the panic in her heart, Bulma said anxiously to Son Gohan, "The highest power level you tested just now was 15500. I modified the text and the energy source inside it. It can be charged, and the batteries can also be replaced."

"Thank you, Big Sister Bulma," Son Gohan said, taking the Scouter and thanking her.

"Nothing major. I'm going in for some water. Do whatever you want."

With that, Bulma hurried back into the house and disappeared to who knew where.

Son Gohan did not mind. He had absolutely no thoughts about Bulma anyway; the real priority was to hurry up and finish his own preparations.

Three days later.

Son Gohan, who was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard meditating, suddenly opened his eyes. He turned toward the gate, where a graceful figure had just appeared.

"Gohan, your Gravity Device has already been tested. It's in the big warehouse over there now. You can go and try it out."

Bulma landed from her hover motorcycle, took off her helmet to reveal freshly permed straight blue hair, and called out to Son Gohan in the courtyard.

Hearing this, Son Gohan sprang up from the ground with a jolt and flashed to the gate, saying to Bulma, "Thank you so much, Sister Bulma. I'll go try it right now."

Before Bulma could say anything, Son Gohan had already vanished from where he stood.

Bulma blinked, then said somewhat speechlessly, "I haven't even told him about the parts of the machine that still aren't complete. Why is he just like his dad!"

The spaceship and the Gravity Generator were both placed in an Experimental Building not far from Capsule Corporation. After all, many things were not suitable to be kept near the residence.

Knowing the way well, Son Gohan soon arrived at his destination and, led by the staff, came to the entrance of the Gravity Room.
