The Great Transformation King - Oolong

He set aside what little Goku had said.

Lin Yuan first took a moment to properly feel the increase in strength within his body.

He could feel his muscles gradually becoming firmer, while even the meridians throughout his body seemed to have been cleansed.

The sensation was incredibly mysterious. Lin Yuan even felt that he could now kill a cow with one punch or punch through a wall.

Lin Yuan calmed himself and said to the two of them, "Well, I obtained this Dragon Ball after going through countless hardships. I heard it's an extraordinary treasure. I can give it to you as a gesture of friendship. What do you think?"

The moment Bulma heard that, she snapped out of her lovestruck state a little.

After all, while it was true that her dream was to find a handsome Prince Charming—

Gathering all seven Dragon Balls could fulfill that dream too, perhaps even more perfectly.

That was right! Bulma's purpose in collecting the Dragon Balls was simply to date handsome men!

So Bulma said shyly, "Lord Lin Yuan, um... um... it's nice to meet you. My name is Bulma, and I'm sixteen this year."

Lin Yuan felt a little embarrassed and laughed awkwardly. "Hello, little sister Bulma. We'll be friends from now on, so just call me Lin Yuan. This Dragon Ball is yours."

Lin Yuan handed over the Dragon Ball, then continued:

"But I'd also like to ask you for a small favor. Would that be okay?"

The moment Lin Yuan finished speaking, little Goku jumped off the Flying Nimbus, walked up to him, and reached out to pat him between the legs.

Lin Yuan's pupils contracted. His body instinctively flashed backward, avoiding the pat as he shouted, "What the hell?! Are you trying to sneak attack me?!"

Goku grinned foolishly and said innocently, "Hahaha, I wasn't sneak attacking you. I just wanted to see if you had that little thingy. Grandpa said men have one, but girls don't!"

Lin Yuan was instantly speechless...

He really did remember now—there seemed to have been a scene like this in the anime.

Goku's way of telling boys and girls apart early on was to directly pat them between the legs to see whether they had a little thingy...

Well, he really was a wild child.

Seeing this, Bulma immediately ran up to Goku and punched him on the head. She snapped:

"You idiot, don't go around doing that."

Then she turned around, shyly accepted the Dragon Ball, and said:

"Thank you, Lin Yuan. If there's anything you need help with, just ask. But... nothing too excessive, okay?"

As she said that, Bulma lowered her head with a blush, as though she were thinking something inappropriate.

This woman changed expressions absurdly fast. One second she was glaring furiously, and the next she looked soft and alluring! Incredible!

That was what Lin Yuan thought, though he still said with a smile:

"Well, I ran into bandits earlier, and now I don't have a penny to my name. Could you give me two Hoi-Poi Capsules? I need them for traveling and to trade for a little money and supplies."

Bulma barely even thought about it before taking out a case of Hoi-Poi Capsules from her pocket and letting Lin Yuan pick whichever ones he wanted.

Lin Yuan did not stand on ceremony. He chose a vehicle and a small house, giving him both temporary lodging and transportation for the road.

After putting away the capsules, Lin Yuan spoke again. "Oh, and I have one more small request. I'd like to travel with you for a while. Would that be convenient?"

"I won't follow you the whole way, so don't worry."

The reason he wanted to travel with them was because the system's second mission required him to defeat Yamcha.

Lin Yuan vaguely remembered that Goku and the others would soon encounter Yamcha, which was why he had this idea.

"Of course you can!"

Bulma agreed immediately. She wanted nothing more than to spend more time with Lin Yuan.

As for Goku, he had no objections either. He was somewhat curious about Lin Yuan as well.

Goku could tell that Lin Yuan was very strong, and naturally wanted to spar with him if he got the chance.

Thus, the three of them set off together. Goku still rode the Flying Nimbus, while Lin Yuan and Bulma sat in a small hovering car.

With Bulma driving, Lin Yuan sat beside her in a daze as he checked the three of their information panels.

There was no need to mention Bulma. Her combat power was only 1...

What made Lin Yuan's eyes light up was Goku's panel.

Target: Son Goku (Kakarot)

Race: Saiyan

Combat Power: 10

Abilities: Great Ape Transformation (triggered by the full moon, combat power *10), Pure-Blooded Saiyan Special Physique (physical abilities improve after recovering from injuries; the more severe the injury, the greater the improvement. As the number of improvements increases, the effect diminishes until it reaches 0)

Divine Power: None

"If I obtain Saiyan bloodline myself, I should have these two abilities as well, right?"

Looking at Goku's two abilities, Lin Yuan thought enviously.

The three traveled for three days and finally reached the next destination where a Dragon Ball was located.

It was a small village that looked as though hardly anyone lived there.

During the journey, they had stayed in Bulma's Capsule House, and Lin Yuan had sparred with Goku once.

Against the young Goku, Lin Yuan had been able to hold a slight advantage at first.

But perhaps because of the Saiyans' absurd physical gifts, the longer they fought, the less Lin Yuan was a match for young Goku...

After the three entered the village, young Goku looked around while Bulma took out the Dragon Radar.

After checking it, they confirmed that the Dragon Ball was in this village.

"But..."

Bulma surveyed the village and asked doubtfully, "Isn't this place too quiet? It doesn't seem like anyone lives here. What do you think, Lin Yuan?"

"Ahem, I think..."

Before Lin Yuan could finish, young Goku sat atop the Flying Nimbus and declared with certainty, "No, I can sense it. Someone definitely lives here."

Seeing Goku interrupt Lin Yuan, Bulma immediately rolled her eyes at him.

Then she turned around and called toward the round building in front of her, "Hello? Is anyone there?"

Silence~

When no one answered, Bulma said, "See? I told you, no one lives here. Goku, your instincts were wrong!"

Goku ignored Bulma completely and walked straight to the door of a house. He knocked loudly and shouted, "Hello, is anyone there? If no one's here, I'm coming in!"

With that, Goku punched the lock and forced the door open.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Goku's rude behavior gave Bulma a fright. "Goku, you're being way too reckless! How can you break someone else's door?!"

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan stood to the side, looking at the somewhat familiar scene as he tried hard to remember something.

Goku stepped straight inside.

The moment he entered, a shadow raised an axe and attacked young Goku.

Clang!

"Ahhh!! My head!! It hurts, it hurts!"

The axe struck Goku squarely on the head, making him howl in pain.

But it only hurt a little. If it had been an ordinary person, they would probably have been decapitated on the spot.

Hearing the commotion, Lin Yuan and Bulma entered the house as well and saw what was happening inside.

A bald old man held a woodcutting axe, trembling from head to toe as he stared at Goku as if he were some terrifying monster.

A sweet, adorable little girl was also hiding beneath the table, her bright eyes fixed on Lin Yuan and the others at the doorway.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan finally remembered. So they had reached the King Oolong storyline!

Lin Yuan and Bulma then explained to the old man why they had come, assuring him that they meant no harm.

Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, a crowd of villagers emerged and surrounded Lin Yuan's group, chattering all at once.

"I knew it was strange! He came way too early today!"

"So it isn't King Oolong! That scared me to death!"

"Yeah, yeah! Sigh! My daughter was taken away a few days ago already!"

Afterward, Bulma, young Goku, and the others learned the full story from the villagers.

Some time ago, someone called King Oolong had come to their village and gradually abducted many little girls. Most of the girls were only seven or eight years old.

The old man's granddaughter was King Oolong's next target.

Hearing this, Bulma had an idea and took a Dragon Ball out of her bag.

She asked whether anyone in the village had an identical ball.

If they did, she would use this Dragon Ball as payment and have young Goku help them rescue their daughters!

As soon as Bulma finished speaking, an old woman stepped forward.

She took out her own Six-Star Ball and said to Bulma, "I have one of these balls. If you can really catch King Oolong and bring the children back, then this ball is yours!"

And so, for the Dragon Ball, the plan to capture King Oolong—began!
