"I'm not Son Gohan's friend, I'm just your future friend. It's nice to meet you, Little Goku."
Xu Xiao stepped forward and patted Little Goku's head.
Although this body is only 8 years old, it is much taller than Little Goku, and about the same height as 16-year-old Bulma.
After their innate wisdom was awakened, Xu Xiao and the monkey's cultivation was not only about the use of qi, but also about developing the nourishment of their physical strength.
As a result, their physical bodies have also grown, so they look more mature.
"The future? What kind of place is that?"
Little Goku was still pondering in a daze, but Xu Xiao had already steered the conversation in another direction.
" Little Goku, I've come to you this time because I want to borrow something from you."
What is that?
Dragon Ball.
Xu Xiao pointed to the bag in Bulma's arms; he could already feel the unique power within it.
" Dragon Ball? You'll have to ask Bulma about that, these are hers." Little Goku stammered, then turned his gaze to Bulma.
Bulma, they say they want to borrow the Dragon Ball, will you agree?
"Of course, no... it's not impossible." Bulma originally wanted to say no, but after turning her head and seeing the bottomless canyon behind her, she chickened out.
Throughout her journey, she relied on Little Goku's strength to collect the Dragon Ball, but it was clear that the two mysterious individuals before her were far stronger than Little Goku.
She wasn't the kind of naive girl; she knew how to choose between her life and her dreams.
Bulma reluctantly handed over the bag she was carrying, untying it from her arms.
"Let's make this clear first, I can lend you the money, but you'll owe me a favor that you'll have to repay later."
Acting decisively and efficiently, those who understand the times are wise.
Xu Xiao took the bag, opened it, and counted the beads. Including the Four-Star Ball in Little Goku's hand, he was still missing one. It was considered a fairly complete collection, which would save him a lot of time.
"No problem, I remember your wish. You want to find a suitable boyfriend, and I'll help you with that in the future."
Xu Xiao nodded, accepting the Dragon Ball and agreeing to Bulma's request.
Overall, this girl is not unpleasant, and her request to find a boyfriend is very easy to fulfill.
Whether it was the Martial Dao Yamcha who had a connection with her in the early stages or the Saiyans prince Vegeta in the later stages, they were all destined to be together. Of course, whether they were compatible or not is another matter.
Bulma, the genius and beautiful young scientist, has the same criteria for choosing a boyfriend as most ordinary women: good looks are the top priority.
Once Xu Xiao's plan begins, Earth will be at the core of the entire universe, so there will be no shortage of handsome men who fit his aesthetic preferences.
"You know that? Thank you so much! Please remember that!"
Bulma's eyes lit up, and her slight displeasure at having the Dragon Ball 'borrowed' disappeared.
Circumstances are beyond one's control; even if she hadn't lent the money, she couldn't have kept it. Being able to leave a promise at all is already a pretty good outcome.
After receiving the Dragon Ball that Bulma and the others had been searching for, Xu Xiao turned to look at Little Goku.
"You still have one of the Four-Star Ball that Son Gohan left you, right? Could you lend it to me?"
Upon hearing this, Little Goku lowered his head, touched the Dragon Ball hanging around his neck, and asked curiously:
"What do you want the Dragon Ball for? Although you know me, I have no feelings for you, so I can't just hand Dragon Ball over to you like this."
After saying that, Little Goku turned his gaze to the monkey.
"But he feels very familiar to me, like he's my grandfather."
"Are you really not Grandpa's friend?"
Zhao Hu, the reincarnation of the monkey, was speechless. Before he came, Xu Xiao had told him that the protagonist of this world was Little Goku with the same name as him, and that he might even have been born under his influence.
There are some causal connections between them, but they are not close. The monkey curiously sized up the other.
Seeing that the other party was neither a creature of heaven and earth, nor even a monkey, the monkey did not intend to say much to Little Goku.
Only the bewildered Little Goku remained, asking questions until Xu Xiao finally spoke up, interrupting his unreasonable nagging.
Looking at the earnest-looking Little Goku, Xu Xiao slowly began to explain his plan:
"I want to change the fate of this world, to create a true Martial Dao world where everyone can cultivate Martial Dao and feel the power of qi."
"In this way, all the strongest beings in the universe will gather here to fight to their hearts' content and fully enjoy the charm of Martial Dao."
"Really? That's amazing!!"
Upon hearing this, Little Goku shouted with joy, for Xu Xiao's words perfectly aligned with his expectations.
Saiyans are born with a love for fighting, and even though he grew up on Earth, he still has a deep interest in Martial Dao.
"Of course it's true. Earthlings possess immense potential, but no one guides them to confront the power of ki. I will use the Dragon Ball to make it easier for people all over the world to feel ki."
"Combined with the ' Ki Condensation Art ' that I have summarized, Earthlings will completely enter a frenzy of Martial Dao cultivation, and may even leave Earth to pursue the advancement of Martial Dao alongside the strong of other civilizations."
Xu Xiao was making grand promises while simultaneously piquing Little Goku's curiosity.
Only he could grasp the destiny of this protagonist at this moment, and thus reverse the changes in the entire world.
Originally, Xu Xiao planned to transfer the protagonist's destiny from the Little Goku to the original Sun Wukong, but after understanding the operating logic of Dragon Ball and that Sun Wukong was unwilling to accept this idea, he had no choice but to give up.
Anyway, he wasn't going to force anything. As long as he could change the course of the Dragon Ball World and gather enough Power of Variables, he would have made a profit.
It's simply a matter of earning more or less.
In comparison, the opinion of Sun Wukong, who traveled with him through various worlds, is more important, since the monkey's potential is far greater than what is shown in Journey to the Journey to the West.
This journey through numerous worlds will be the foundation that Xu Xiao and Sun Wukong accumulate, which will catalyze a different kind of power after the Journey to the West Calamity erupts.
"Okay, I believe you. Here, take the Four-Star Ball." Under Xu Xiao's guidance, Little Goku finally took off the Four-Star Ball from his chest and handed it to Xu Xiao.
After accepting this Dragon Ball, Xu Xiao only needed one more.
Later, with Bulma's Dragon Ball Radar and Xu Xiao's Ki Sensing, they obtained the last One-Star Ball from the villain Emperor Pilaf.
The Pilaf Gang, a formidable force that the original main characters faced, and a villainous army that even required Little Goku to transform into a Great Ape under the full moon to escape, didn't even cause a ripple in front of Xu Xiao.
The seven Dragon Ball gathered together, connected with each other, and began to emit bursts of light and a soft buzzing sound.
Feeling the intense power of will surging within, Xu Xiao, who had already learned the principles of the Dragon Ball from the Celestials, smiled slightly.
"Come forth, Eternal Dragon."
As Xu Xiao finished speaking, the seven Dragon Ball that were already shining brightly in front of them began to burst forth with dazzling light, and then soared into the sky.
The world suddenly changed color; the once clear sky was now filled with dark clouds, and amidst the lightning and thunder, a colossal creature began to revive.
A moment later, a giant dragon, a hundred meters long and with a body the color of jade, appeared in the sky and looked down at Xu Xiao.
A majestic aura emanated from it, radiating a divine energy.
"Tell me your wish!!!"
