"Oh, this is a gravity magic circle, like training with a heavy turtle shell on your back, but the effect is much better," Goku patiently explained.
"A gravity magic circle?"
Everyone was immediately filled with question marks.
A strange, glowing circle on your head, more effective than carrying a hundred-pound turtle shell on your back?
"I understand it; it's magic that enhances gravity."
Only Bulma seemed to understand a little.
As the all-powerful young lady of the Capsule Corporation who could create Dragon Ball radar with her bare hands, her understanding of gravity was naturally very clear. Magic is frequently seen in shoujo manga and various TV anime.
However, it's never been seen in reality.
When the two are put together, a slight understanding based on the literal meaning should be enough to guess.
"Magic."
"Yes, it's a kind of magic that can increase gravity."
Goku nodded.
Bulma immediately showed a curious expression:
"Wow, that's amazing! Magic really exists! How many times stronger is the effect of what's on your head now?"
She knew Goku wouldn't lie; since Goku said it was magic, it must be magic.
Actually, compared to magic, the experiences three years ago were far more amazing.
Whether it was finding the Dragon Balls to summon Shenron, the Red Ribbon Army's superpowers, or Baba summoning souls from the underworld to the mortal world.
"Ten times gravity, I can only release ten times the gravity effect at most right now."
Goku replied.
"What?! Ten times? Are you sure it's ten times?"
Bulma's jaw nearly dropped to the floor.
What does ten times gravity mean?
An ordinary person exposed to ten times gravity would typically not last three seconds before going into shock due to the heart being unable to pump blood to the brain, and then rapidly dying.
Gravity would compress internal organs, causing blood circulation to stop, and the brain could rupture due to a lack of blood.
Bones and muscles could not withstand their own weight, potentially leading to fractures, organ displacement, or ruptured blood vessels.
For example, standing could cause capillaries in the lower limbs to rupture, and while lying down could relieve some pressure, daily activities would still be almost impossible.
However, Goku seemed no different than usual, appearing completely calm and without any pressure.
"What does this mean?"
Krillin and the other underachievers were completely confused about what Bulma was saying and what was causing their surprise.
"Goku, besides using this magic yourself, can it be applied to other people?"
Bulma, seeing that Krillin and Yamcha couldn't comprehend the terror of ten times gravity, lowered her chin and looked at Goku.
Seeing Goku nod, she said to Krillin and Yamcha,
"You two stand beside Goku and experience it for yourselves."
Krillin and Yamcha stood on either side of Goku.
Goku gradually expanded the gravity magic circle, covering Krillin and Yamcha.
"What is this?! What's going on?!"
Under the suppression of ten times gravity, Krillin and Yamcha's legs trembled, and they almost knelt on the ground.
This all-around pressure, targeting both the inside and outside of their bodies, made it difficult for them to move; simply maintaining their footing was a feat.
Compared to their daily training carrying turtle shells, the difficulty was worlds apart. Seeing their faces flushed red, Goku immediately controlled his gravity magic, shrinking it back above his head.
"Are you alright?"
"No...we're fine."
With the tenfold gravity gone, Krillin and Yamcha were so exhausted they almost collapsed to the ground, their faces covered in sweat.
They stared in disbelief at Goku, who moved so freely under tenfold gravity:
"Go...Goku...is this your daily training?"
"Yes, I've only just gotten used to tenfold gravity."
Goku nodded.
Krillin and Yamcha exchanged a glance, and simultaneously...
Master Roshi asked:
"Goku, what exactly have you been through these past three years?"
Master Roshi, who had been observing all this, couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his brow, somewhat regretting signing up.
This time, he shouldn't be completely crushed by his apprentice, right?
No, even if his apprentice's strength has improved considerably, his experience definitely can't compare to his own.
"Let's eat, everyone, let's go eat first. There are still several matches to play tomorrow, so let's happily fill our bellies today. After all, a Warrior can't fight!"
"Great!"
Goku's eyes lit up again.
"This time I'm going to eat my fill."
"I'm going to eat my fill too!"
Krillin patted his stomach.
Master Roshi suddenly remembered something, and sweat poured down his back like a waterfall.
He realized just how terrifying Goku's appetite was.
He was stuffed.
And his wallet might not be enough for Goku.
"This time it's my treat, I have lots of money!"
Fortunately, Goku raised his hand.
His three years of experience in various worlds had taught him that money and food were synonymous.
And now he was rich and happy to be with everyone again.
So he offered to treat everyone to a meal.
"Goku, you have money?"
Everyone looked clearly incredulous when they heard Goku say that.
They knew Goku...
He had no concept of money.
And right now, he was only wearing a martial arts uniform, carrying a magic staff, and a small box hanging from his waist.
Even his wallet was nowhere to be seen.
"I have this!"
Goku reached into the box and pulled out a gold brick the size of a brick.
Made in Asgard, 99% genuine, a rare item.
"What?"
Seeing Goku pull out a gold brick almost the size of his face from a box less than the palm of his hand, everyone froze on the spot.
"It really is gold!"
Yamcha took the gold brick, examined it briefly, and confirmed it wasn't fake.
Having once been a notorious desert bandit, he still had the ability to identify gold and silver jewelry.
"Complete defeat, complete defeat." Krillin rubbed his forehead.
He was shorter, probably couldn't beat him in strength, and even his money wasn't as much as Goku's anymore.
Bulma wasn't interested in the gold bricks, but she was interested in Goku's box.
"Is this made using space compression technology?"
Their family's Capsule Corp. capsules mainly used space compression technology, capable of compressing houses, cars, airplanes, and any other object into a small capsule.
"It's a magical item made using the Unseen Stretch Charm," Goku explained.
He had studied with Dumbledore for a year, so he understood the basics of magic.
He already knew the Unseen Stretch Charm, but he couldn't compare to Dumbledore and couldn't create a box the size of a city like this.
"Hahaha, my good disciple, I never thought I'd be treated with such respect by my disciple. Come on, let's eat, and then we can talk about your three years of training." Master Roshi put away his empty wallet and happily patted Goku on the shoulder, his face full of satisfaction.
However, just as everyone turned to go to the restaurant, a trio wearing martial arts uniforms with the word "Crane" on them walked towards them.
