After blocking Abo-Cado’s attack, Gohan smiled mockingly.
“What?
Is that really all you’ve got?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Gohan countered with a punch.
Bang!
Abo-Cado felt an overwhelming force surge through his arm.
The next instant, he was blasted backward and crashed onto the ground.
As he flew through the air, only one thought filled his mind.
How is this possible?!
His Power Level was only around 10 million!
How couldn’t I block that attack?
Before Abo-Cado could figure it out, Gohan suddenly appeared directly in front of him, looking down with a mocking smile.
Abo-Cado’s anger exploded.
“Don’t get carried away!”
“I’m a Super Warrior even stronger than Frieza!”
“Go to Hell!”
With an angry roar, Abo-Cado released his full power.
Boom!
A massive white aura erupted around him.
The sudden burst of Ki forced Gohan, who was still suppressing his strength, to slide backward a short distance.
Watching Abo-Cado charge toward him, Gohan smiled faintly.
Abo-Cado instantly closed the distance and threw a powerful punch.
Gohan calmly tilted his head, effortlessly avoiding the attack.
The first punch missed.
Without hesitation, Abo-Cado pulled back his fist and immediately launched another straight toward Gohan’s face.
Gohan easily dodged again.
The second attack also missed.
Refusing to give up, Abo-Cado changed tactics, attacking with both fists and both feet in a relentless barrage that was as fast as lightning.
To his astonishment, however, no matter how many attacks he launched, he couldn’t land a single hit.
Finally, he roared in frustration.
“What kind of fighting style is this?
All you do is dodge!”
“If you’ve got the guts, fight me head-on!”
“Aaaah!”
Boom!
His Ki erupted once more, becoming even stronger.
Like a bolt of lightning, he charged at Gohan again.
This time, Gohan didn’t dodge.
Instead, he chose to meet the attack head-on.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Thunderous collisions echoed across the battlefield.
Every impact shook the earth and sent powerful shockwaves rippling through the air.
If Gohan hadn’t intentionally used this battle to regain his fighting instincts, Abo-Cado wouldn’t have been able to survive even a single move.
Outside the battlefield, Tarble couldn’t follow their movements at all.
Like Licks, he could only turn his head toward the sounds of their clashes.
No matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t see either fighter with his naked eyes.
Seeing the two of them struggling, Vegeta spoke.
“Tarble, if you want to follow Gohan’s movements, you can’t rely on your eyes alone.”
“You have to concentrate, calm your mind, and use Ki Sensing to track their movements.”
After a brief pause, he continued.
He glanced at Krillin and the others.
“Look at them.
They’re all capable of using Ki Sensing, but because of the gap in strength, they can’t clearly follow Gohan’s movements either.”
Although it was true, hearing Vegeta state it so bluntly made Krillin and the others feel somewhat embarrassed.
Noticing Tarble looking at them, Krillin laughed awkwardly.
“Haha…
Well, there’s nothing we can do.
We Earthlings don’t have the same training talent as you Saiyans.”
“The gap in strength is just too large.
Of course we can’t see them clearly.”
As soon as Krillin finished speaking, Yamcha laughed as well.
“Krillin’s right.”
“When the difference in strength is that huge, there’s no way we can keep up.”
Tarble nodded thoughtfully.
“So that’s how it works.”
That explanation made much more sense.
Otherwise, it would have been absurd if someone with a Power Level of only a few hundred thousand could clearly follow fighters whose Power Levels exceeded 100 million.
At that moment, Tarble activated the Eye of Insight once again.
His gaze first landed on Piccolo.
Target: Piccolo
Race: Namekian
Power Level: 18,000,000,000
“Wow.”
“Piccolo’s base Power Level is almost on par with Gohan’s.”
After silently commenting to himself, Tarble shifted his gaze to the next person.
Standing beside Piccolo was Tien Shinhan.
Target: Tien Shinhan
Race: Mutant Earthling
Power Level: 1,200,000
Tarble blinked.
“Mutant Earthling?”
“Not Three-Eyed People?”
Those two thoughts immediately crossed his mind.
Then he thought about it again.
Considering that the Dragon Ball world also had animal-type humans and monster-type humans, someone with three eyes naturally wouldn’t be unusual.
“So that’s it.
A Mutant Earthling.”
“No wonder his training speed has always been much faster than Krillin’s and Yamcha’s.”
Tarble remembered the Saiyan Saga.
During Vegeta’s invasion of Earth, all three had trained for the same amount of time, yet Tien Shinhan’s Power Level had been noticeably higher.
That alone proved his natural talent exceeded Krillin’s and Yamcha’s.
Tarble then looked toward the next person.
Standing beside Tien Shinhan was the ever-cheerful Chiaotzu.
Target: Chiaotzu
Race: Mutant Earthling
Power Level: 80,000
“I remember Chiaotzu wasn’t particularly suited for training.”
“But reaching a Power Level of 80,000 means he must have trained hard over the years.”
Tarble nodded inwardly before continuing.
Next was Krillin.
Target: Krillin
Race: Mutant Earthling
“Huh?”
“Only 300,000?”
“And he’s also classified as a Mutant Earthling?”
After a brief moment of surprise, Tarble remembered that Krillin didn’t have a nose.
That probably qualified him as a Mutant Earthling, since he could only breathe through his mouth.
“At this rate, the title of strongest Earthling belongs to Tien Shinhan.”
“In the end, women really do slow down a man’s progress.”
Tarble secretly shook his head.
Back on Namek, Krillin had his hidden potential unlocked by Grand Elder Guru.
At that time, his strength had greatly surpassed both Tien Shinhan and Yamcha.
Yet now, Tien Shinhan had completely overtaken him.
“Sure enough.”
“Women only slow down a man’s training.”
There was no need to guess.
Krillin had probably spent these past several years happily living with Android 18 instead of training.
Otherwise, even if his talent was slightly below Tien Shinhan’s, the gap in strength shouldn’t have become this enormous.
“What a shame.”
After silently sighing, Tarble shifted his gaze to Yamcha.
Target: Yamcha
Race: Earthling
Power Level: 130,000
Seeing Yamcha’s information, Tarble didn’t even bother commenting.
He simply closed the Eye of Insight.
At that exact moment, a new notification suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Two warriors with Saiyan blood have been detected nearby.
Would the host like to bind them immediately?]
[Current Bound Warriors: 1]
[Remaining Binding Slots: 3]
[Bind] or [Do Not Bind]
“Bind.”
“Bind.”
“Of course, bind!”
Tarble grinned.
Without the slightest hesitation, he mentally selected Bind.
[Beginning binding process: Vegeta.]
[Binding complete.]
[Beginning binding process: Gohan.]
[Binding complete.]
[Congratulations!
Two Saiyan-blooded warriors have been successfully bound.]
[Current Bound Warriors: 3]
[Remaining Binding Slots: 1]
[Training Effect Increased by 2x.]
[Current Training Multiplier: 4x.]
Several notifications flashed before Tarble’s eyes in rapid succession.
He couldn’t help smiling to himself.
Originally, before binding anyone, the system’s training effect had only been 1x, and he had possessed only a single binding slot.
The method for obtaining additional binding slots was simple.
Every time his own strength advanced into a new power tier, the system granted him one additional binding slot.
The tiers were divided as follows:
Power Level 1-10: First Tier
Power Level 11-10,000: Second Tier
Power Level 10,001-100,000,000: Third Tier
Power Level 100,000,001-1,000,000,000,000: Fourth Tier
Power Level 1,000,000,000,001-10,000,000,000,000,000: Fifth Tier
