Inside the massive crater created by the impact, the old man discovered a damaged spherical spaceship embedded deep within the ground.
The hatch slowly opened automatically.
Inside were two children with monkey-like tails wrapped around their waists.
One child appeared slightly older.
His dark eyes were wide open as he calmly observed the old man in front of him.
The younger child beside him was sleeping peacefully while smacking his lips.
Grandpa Gohan stood there completely stunned.
“Good heavens…
could these be grandchildren sent to me by the heavens themselves?” He carefully picked up both children before bursting into hearty laughter.
“Hahaha!
You two look quite well-behaved!” He first looked at the older child with the unusually steady gaze.
“You are the elder brother, so from today onward your name shall be Sun Wuxiu.
May you cultivate both strength and character!” Then he turned toward the younger child who was still sleeping soundly.
“And you shall be called Son Goku!” Six years later, Mount Paozu, nighttime.
The moonlight poured over the mountain forest like flowing water.
Beside the small wooden house, nine-year-old Sun Wuxiu sat cross-legged atop a large bluestone.
He was not sleeping.
Ever since arriving in this world, his sleeping habits had always been far lighter than ordinary children.
Six years had passed.
Exactly six years since he and Kakarot, now called Son Goku, had been discovered by Grandpa Gohan.
Sun Wuxiu slowly opened his eyes.
Under the moonlight, his gaze was calm and clear, completely unlike that of a normal child.
He slowly raised his palm.
“Rise.” With a single thought, a pebble the size of a fist instantly floated up from the ground and hovered steadily above his hand.
“As expected…
this isn’t just simple telekinesis.” A faint smile appeared at the corner of Sun Wuxiu’s mouth.
Back when he first transmigrated into this world, he had believed he only possessed psychic powers.
However, four years ago, while training beside a waterfall, he had accidentally slipped from the cliff and fallen directly into the rocks below.
At that moment, he had thought he would either be crippled or die on the spot.
Yet after standing up completely unharmed, he finally realized something far greater was hidden inside him.
The mysterious power branded deep within his soul had finally revealed its true form.
“The Twelve Talismans from Jackie Chan Adventures…” Sun Wuxiu’s eyes flickered with excitement.
These were abilities he knew extremely well from his previous life.
More importantly, the talismans did not exist as physical objects.
Instead, they had transformed into twelve instinctive powers completely fused into both his soul and Saiyan body.
The [Rooster Talisman] granted levitation and telekinesis.
This was the very first power he awakened.
From barely moving a pack of nutrient solution inside the attack pod years ago, he could now easily lift a massive two-hundred-kilogram boulder through telekinesis alone.
The [Dog Talisman] granted immortality.
It provided endless vitality and ensured he could never truly die.
Whether he fell from cliffs, got crushed by rocks, or was accidentally injured during sparring with Goku, no matter how severe the wounds became, he would always survive.
Sun Wuxiu’s eyes burned brightly.
“Immortality…” He subconsciously touched the Saiyan tail wrapped around his waist.
“…combined with the Saiyan ability to gain massive increases in power after recovering from near death.
This combination is simply perfect.” Although he had not yet dared to deliberately push himself to the brink of death for a Zenkai boost, he already understood that this would become his greatest advantage in the future.
The [Horse Talisman] granted healing.
It perfectly complemented the Dog Talisman.
The Dog Talisman made him impossible to kill.
The Horse Talisman allowed him to recover instantly.
During the past few years of martial arts training with Grandpa Gohan, injuries were unavoidable.
But every single time, regardless of how serious the wounds were, Sun Wuxiu only needed a single thought for the Horse Talisman’s power to flow through his body and restore him completely.
He could even use the power on others.
Every time Goku returned crying after being bitten by wild beasts during training, Sun Wuxiu only needed to place his hand on the wound before a faint glow flashed briefly.
Then the injury would disappear entirely.
As a result, Grandpa Gohan simply believed his two grandsons possessed abnormally tough bodies and terrifying recovery abilities.
The [Ox Talisman] granted super strength.
Sun Wuxiu slowly stood up before walking toward a gigantic boulder nearby.
This enormous rock weighing over a thousand kilograms was one of his regular training tools.
“Hah!” He lowered his stance and suddenly exerted force.
A powerful energy surged from deep within his soul into every muscle of his Saiyan body.
The gigantic boulder was instantly lifted high above his head by the nine-year-old child.
“The Ox Talisman’s strength stacks together with my natural Saiyan power.” Sun Wuxiu had already understood this clearly.
The stronger his Saiyan body became, the more terrifying the talisman’s enhancement would grow.
The [Rabbit Talisman] granted super speed.
After placing the giant boulder back down, Sun Wuxiu inhaled deeply.
The next second…
“Whoosh!” His body transformed into an afterimage beneath the moonlight.
In less than four seconds, he had already crossed over a hundred meters and appeared atop another rock in the distance.
Fast.
Ridiculously fast.
This was one of his greatest survival trump cards.
After all, in the original story, twelve-year-old Son Goku had only managed to run one hundred meters in around five and a half seconds during Master Roshi’s testing.
Yet the current nine-year-old Sun Wuxiu could already far surpass that speed.
Even a one-second difference in speed represented an enormous gap in battle.
The [Pig Talisman] granted heat vision.
Sun Wuxiu narrowed his eyes toward a dead tree in the distance.
“Zzzzt!” Two crimson beams instantly shot from his eyes.
The dead tree was pierced through immediately.
There was no explosion.
Only terrifying heat.
The surface of the hole was so smooth it looked polished, while smoke continuously rose from the burning wood.
“Very convenient for cooking meat and cutting things.” Sun Wuxiu nodded with satisfaction.
As for the remaining talismans…
The [Dragon Talisman] granted explosive blasts.
He had tested it once beside a lake and nearly caused a water explosion over ten meters high.
Most importantly, the attack consumed almost none of his own ki.
The [Snake Talisman] granted invisibility.
With this ability, he had practically become the ultimate hunter throughout Mount Paozu.
Even dinosaurs failed to detect his presence.
The [Sheep Talisman] allowed spiritual projection.
Using this power, Sun Wuxiu could leave his body at night and freely wander throughout Mount Paozu as a soul.
He had even possessed birds before to fly across the mountains and observe the outside world.
The [Monkey Talisman] granted transformation.
He could transform himself into nearly any animal.
Although useful, he personally disliked the sensation.
It always felt strange becoming another creature.
The [Tiger Talisman] granted balance.
At first, Sun Wuxiu thought it represented yin and yang separation like in the original story.
However, after years of experimentation, he discovered this power allowed him to maintain absolute balance within both mind and body.
Whether it was martial arts training or controlling the increasing ki inside himself, the Tiger Talisman could instantly place him into a perfect state of calm concentration.
Finally, there was the mysterious [Rat Talisman].
The power of animation and life.
Unfortunately, Sun Wuxiu still had no idea how to properly use it.
After all, he could not exactly go around bringing random rocks to life.
“Twelve different abilities…
and every single one grows stronger alongside my Saiyan power.” Sun Wuxiu slowly clenched his fists.
He had already realized the true core of this cheat ability.
The stronger his own combat power became, the stronger the talismans themselves would evolve.
“Very good.” A faint smile slowly appeared on his face.
“Bulma should appear soon.” “The Dragon Balls…
the World Martial Arts Tournament…
the Red Ribbon Army…” “And eventually Raditz, Vegeta, and Frieza.” Sun Wuxiu quietly planned out his future while staring toward the distant moonlit mountains.
Completely unaware that inside the wooden house nearby, Son Goku had already woken up in the middle of the night.
“Ugh…
brother…
Grandpa…
I need to pee…” Eight-year-old Son Goku rubbed his sleepy eyes while stumbling outside half awake with his pants hanging loose.
