"Shall we begin?" Goku spoke calmly.
Gohan nodded.
The next instant, Goku let out a loud shout and charged straight at Gohan.
Whoosh!
Swish—swish!
In a flash, Goku was in front of him, his fists striking like lightning.
Gohan dodged every attack effortlessly.
Gritting his teeth, Goku threw both fists forward with all his strength.
Gohan sidestepped and slammed his right knee into Goku's abdomen.
"Urgh—!"
Saliva sprayed from Goku's mouth.
Before he could recover, Gohan clenched his fist and smashed it into Goku's face.
Goku's body was sent flying backward.
He clenched his fists, stabilized himself mid-air, and wiped the blood from his face.
Then—
"Ha!!"
Golden light erupted as Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan.
Whoosh!
His figure blurred as he appeared in front of Gohan, attacking with both fists.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Gohan raised his arms and exchanged blows with him.
Violent shockwaves ripped through the sky.
"Ha!"
Goku suddenly kicked forward with all his strength.
Gohan sidestepped, grabbed Goku's right leg, and flung him away.
"Ah!"
Goku cried out but quickly regained control.
Suddenly—
Whoosh!
Gohan appeared behind him and kicked him straight into the ground.
BOOM!
Dust and debris exploded upward.
At that moment—
Whoosh!
A figure appeared behind Gohan and threw a powerful punch.
It was Goku.
"Instant Transmission?!"
Trunks exclaimed.
But the punch passed straight through Gohan's body.
"Not good!"
Goku spun around—
Only to see a fist already inches from his face.
BAM!
He was blasted straight into a distant mountain.
Piccolo frowned.
If I fought Gohan seriously… I'd probably be killed instantly.
After the dust settled, Goku slowly climbed out of the mountain, breathing heavily.
"Gohan… you're incredible. Even as a Super Saiyan, I'm no match for you."
Gohan nodded calmly.
"Dad, how about you, Trunks, and Uncle Piccolo attack me together?"
"Together?!"
"All three of us?"
"Yes."
Gohan nodded again.
Goku turned toward the others.
"Piccolo. Trunks."
"No problem."
Trunks answered seriously.
"…I'm in."
Piccolo agreed, even though he didn't want to admit his hesitation.
"Alright!"
The three of them shot into the sky together.
Whoosh!
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Gohan dodged and countered simultaneously.
BAM!
With a single punch, Piccolo was sent flying.
Seeing this, Trunks immediately transformed into a Super Saiyan.
Even so—
After a long exchange, Gohan defeated all three without transforming.
The gap was undeniable.
"Gohan… we lost."
Trunks admitted.
"It's fine," Gohan said calmly. "As long as you train hard, you'll reach my level one day."
"Yes!" Trunks nodded firmly.
Three Days Later
Gohan was training with Trunks on Mount Paozu as usual.
Suddenly, the System's voice echoed in his mind.
[Ding! System upgrade successful.]
[New feature unlocked: Walking increases Battle Power.]
"…Walking?"
[Yes, Master. Every step you take now increases Battle Power.]
"…Can sleeping increase it too?"
[…]
[That is not possible.]
"Then how much does walking increase it?"
[Under normal gravity: +10 Battle Power per step.]
[Under 100× gravity: +100 per step.]
[Under 500× gravity: multiplied accordingly.]
"Can I run?"
[Of course. Running counts as steps.]
[Additionally, One-Finger Push-ups now grant +20 Battle Power.]
"…Twenty?"
[Correct. It has doubled.]
[Under 800× gravity, one One-Finger Push-up grants ~1,600 Battle Power.]
[10,000 repetitions = 16 million Battle Power.]
"…Sixteen million."
[Yes, Master.]
Gohan's eyes lit up.
"Looks like I need Bulma to upgrade the Gravity Chamber again."
"Gohan?" Trunks looked at him, confused.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just suddenly felt that 500× gravity is… too light."
"…"
Trunks was speechless.
For Gohan, it was light.
For him, it was hell.
The Next Morning — West City
Gohan arrived early at Bulma's house.
"Bulma Auntie, can you help me upgrade the Gravity Chamber again?"
Bulma stared at him.
"Again?!"
"Yes! Please, I'm begging you!"
"…You really don't know how scary that sounds," She sighed.
"Fine. I'll upgrade it to 800× gravity. But you are not allowed to come back for upgrades for at least five years!"
"Deal!" Gohan grinned.
He immediately handed her the Gravity Chamber capsule.
"I'll call you when it's done."
"Thank you, Aunt Bulma!"
Gohan left happily.
Just then—
BOOM!!
A loud explosion echoed from Vegeta's Gravity Chamber.
Bulma sighed helplessly.
"That guy again…"
Ever since learning about the Androids, Vegeta had been training like a madman.
More than once, he had nearly blown himself up.
