Korin

This information had all been personally stated as canon in the real world by Akira Toriyama, the author of Dragon Ball.

And as the "Supreme God of Creation," Akira Toriyama's words were the ironclad laws of this world!

Ten times gravity existed on King Kai's Planet, and Bulma could absolutely build it too, but the ten times gravity in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was currently the most urgently needed.

Those two years were what mattered most. After all, once Raditz was defeated, Nappa and Vegeta would follow, and after that came Namek in rapid succession.

There was almost no time in between for Son Gohan to train, which made those two years in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber crucial!

Son Gohan believed that as long as he could enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for two years, then when he came out, even if he could not beat Vegeta flat, Raditz and Nappa would be nothing to fear.

As for Vegeta, after entering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with him, Son Goku's strength would definitely improve by a huge margin too.

When the time came, even if he had not learned King Kai's Kaioken, he should still be enough to contend with Vegeta, or even defeat him.

He might even be able to move up the timing of Son Goku's transformation into a Super Saiyan, which would make facing Frieza even more hopeful.

Of course, there was one more crucial point in the end: Son Gohan had to obtain enough Senzu Beans this time!

Giving those things to that damn fatty Yajirobe was simply too much of a waste. Those were important items that could rapidly increase Son Goku's strength and his own, as well as save their lives.

So no matter how he looked at it, going to Kami's Lookout now was absolutely imperative!

"You want to go to Kami's Lookout?"

Son Goku looked at his son in surprise, truly unable to understand why he wanted to go to Kami's Lookout.

"I want to train under Korin and Kami's guidance. I want to become stronger as soon as possible!" Sun Chao said in a firm tone.

"You can get stronger under my guidance too. It won't be too late for me to take you to Kami's Lookout then," Son Goku retorted.

Son Gohan's words made him feel as if he were being looked down on, and a martial artist's competitive spirit was instantly stirred.

Faced with Son Goku's displeasure, Gohan said very calmly, "Please don't be angry yet. Hear me out. Although your strength is amazing, Father, that doesn't mean your ability to teach people is better than Korin's or Kami's."

"Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. No one is amazing in every single area. Don't you think I'm right, Dad?"

Hearing his son's reasoning, Son Goku did indeed fall silent. That was right. He had never taught anyone before.

But Son Goku had personally experienced Korin's guidance, as well as Kami and Mr. Popo's, so he had nothing he could say to refute it.

On top of that, Son Goku himself was not the type who was good at debating, so now he could only tacitly accept Son Gohan's argument.

"In that case..." Son Goku hesitated for about two seconds before saying, "Then the day after tomorrow, I'll take you to Korin."

Hearing Son Goku's answer, Gohan let out a breath of relief in his heart.

If the other party really refused to take him to Kami's Lookout, then with his current strength, he truly could not climb up there alone.

As for why Son Goku was not curious about how he knew about Korin and Kami, Son Gohan, who had already prepared backup explanations, did not force himself to explain.

Sometimes, Son Goku's simplicity left you speechless, but sometimes, it also made you like him very much.

The next day, when Son Goku said he wanted to take Son Gohan on an outing, Chi-Chi only asked in puzzlement and then said nothing more.

"Remember not to stay out too long. The private tutor I hired said he'll come this month to start giving Gohan lessons," Chi-Chi reminded them, and the other two hurriedly nodded in agreement.

On the day they set off, Son Goku brought lunch and prepared to board the Flying Nimbus.

At first, he was very worried, because only those with pure hearts could use the Flying Nimbus. Anyone with evil thoughts would be rejected.

Fortunately, though, whether because of Son Goku's face or because Son Gohan himself had no evil thoughts, in short, he was thrown to the ground by the Flying Nimbus.

Whoosh!

A fierce current of air swept across his face. The Flying Nimbus shot into the sky at incredible speed, then locked onto a direction and sped away.

This was Son Gohan's first time experiencing the speed of the Flying Nimbus. It truly felt like riding an airplane. The scenery below turned blurry and quickly streaked past Sun Chao's line of sight.

In less than half an hour, Son Gohan had already seen the tall tower linking heaven and earth—Karin Tower.

They rapidly approached Karin Tower. Son Goku did not stop either, instead bringing Sun Chao rushing upward at high speed, directly arriving at the hall where Korin resided.

Korin was already an existence who had attained agelessness, and he also had a pair of eyes that could see whatever he wished to see.

Beside Korin sat a fatty, none other than Yajirobe, the one known as the strongest swordsman in the Dragon Ball world.

"Welcome to Karin Tower, Goku," Korin said with a beaming smile. "The one beside you should be your son, right?"

"Korin, long time no see. Let me introduce him to you—this is my son, Son Gohan." Son Goku raised a hand in greeting, then pointed at Gohan and introduced him.

"He has eyes that don't match his age," Korin suddenly said.

That really startled Gohan! Could the other party see through the fact that his soul did not belong to this body? But Korin's next words let his suspended heart drop back down.

"As expected of your son, Goku. He really is different from ordinary people." Korin leaned on his wooden staff and laughed. "What did you bring your son here for this time?"

Son Goku shrugged and said, "Gohan said he wants to learn martial arts from you."

"Oh~ So that's how it is." Korin looked at Son Gohan with a thoughtful expression.

Only after several seconds did Korin continue asking, "Little fellow, can you tell me why you want to learn martial arts?"

Son Gohan's thoughts instantly twisted through countless turns. It was obvious that Korin had already begun to suspect him a little. As expected of a life-form that had lived for more than eight hundred years.

However, he had already made preparations in advance, so he spoke without the slightest hesitation. "I learned from my father about your strength and vast knowledge. I also want to become an existence like you."

Hearing such blatant flattery, even Korin, an immortal, felt a little lightheaded.

After all, he had always lived atop Karin Tower, and every day he faced nothing but lifeless objects. It was only in the past few years that Yajirobe had appeared.

Of course, that human did not show him much respect, and he had never said any words of praise.

And Sun Gohan had long since factored all of this into his calculations. Even gods had weaknesses, let alone a cat immortal.

So Korin happily accepted the flattery and said pleasantly, "Since you want so much to become a lifeform like me, from now on, I permit you to stay."

"As for whether I will teach you martial arts, I still need to observe you a little longer."

Hearing this, Sun Gohan immediately said respectfully, "Many thanks, Immortal Korin!"
