“Ahhh!” Bubbles tilted his head in confusion, a puzzled look appearing on his furry face.
“Haha, I knew you wouldn’t understand.” Son Goku laughed heartily and did not bother explaining too much.
“I’m here to train under King Kai.” “Woo woo.” Bubbles casually responded, clearly believing Goku was just another martial artist who came to seek guidance.
Completely unfazed, Son Goku continued enthusiastically chatting with Bubbles as though they had not been separated by decades.
“It’s not easy to become my student.
Anyone who wants me to teach them cultivation must first tell a joke that can make me laugh.
I refuse to teach someone without a sense of humor.” At that moment, a steady voice suddenly echoed nearby.
Son Goku turned around and immediately saw a familiar figure walking toward him.
Black Kai attire.
Round sunglasses.
Two antenna-like tentacles swaying lightly atop his head.
It was North King Kai.
“King Kai!
Long time no see!” Son Goku’s eyes instantly lit up.
Without hesitation, he happily ran over and naturally stood beside King Kai like an old friend reuniting after many years.
North Kai froze for a moment.
Who was this person?
Did they know each other?
Still, seeing Goku’s cheerful smile, King Kai did not mind his bold familiarity.
As the saying went, you do not hit a smiling face.
King Kai stroked his whiskers and deliberately put on a profound expression.
“There are many people who wish to learn martial arts from me, but becoming my disciple is not easy.
You must first tell a joke that I find funny.” “Hahaha, King Kai really hasn’t changed at all.” Son Goku felt a long-lost sense of joy.
He knew King Kai very well.
Although he acted demanding, his laughter threshold was actually extremely low.
Even the simplest joke could make him laugh uncontrollably.
How difficult could that requirement possibly be?
Following along naturally, Goku casually made up a simple joke on the spot.
Sure enough, the moment King Kai heard it, his lips twitched before he suddenly burst into loud laughter.
“Hahahaha!” He bent over while clutching his stomach, laughing so hard that tears nearly came out.
“You’re good!
Your sense of humor is excellent!” After finally calming himself down, King Kai adjusted his sunglasses and looked at Goku with satisfaction.
“Very good.
I’ve decided to teach you cultivation and pass on some of my techniques.
By the way, what’s your name?” “My name is Son Goku.” Goku scratched the back of his head before continuing.
“King Kai, the Saiyans will invade Earth in one year.
I plan to cultivate here on King Kai’s Planet for the next several months.” He briefly explained the conflict involving Raditz, the Saiyans, and the upcoming invasion of Earth.
In truth, everything King Kai could teach him had already been mastered long ago in his previous life.
The reason he returned to King Kai’s Planet this time was not only because the ten times gravity was suitable for Saiyan training, but also because he wanted to see the King Kai from his memories once again.
“King Kai really is exactly the same as before.” Goku smiled inwardly.
“I see.” King Kai nodded in understanding.
“So Earth’s Guardian sent you here to train under me so you can return and defeat the Saiyans.” Naturally, King Kai knew about the Saiyans.
They were elite warriors serving under the tyrant Frieza.
Whenever the Frieza Force planned to invade and sell planets, Saiyans would usually be the first sent to the battlefield.
Everywhere they went, destruction followed.
Countless worlds fell beneath their hands, leaving behind mountains of corpses and endless bloodshed.
After death, most Saiyans were sent directly to Hell to atone for their crimes before entering reincarnation.
More than twenty years ago, Frieza, fearing the ancient legend of the Super Saiyan, used the opportunity when the Saiyans had gathered on Planet Vegeta to exterminate them all in a single strike.
With one attack, he destroyed both the Saiyan race and Planet Vegeta itself.
Only a handful of Saiyans survived because they happened to be away on missions.
Unexpectedly, the surviving Saiyans eventually learned about the Dragon Balls on Earth and their ability to grant wishes.
As a result, Earth attracted a dangerous enemy.
A child carrying gold through a crowded market would naturally attract wolves and tigers.
But weakness was never a reason for others to bully Earth freely.
“Goku, one of the essentials of cultivation is extreme speed.” King Kai’s antennae moved slightly while he sensed Goku’s energy.
Then he pointed toward Bubbles nearby.
“Saiyans naturally possess powerful physiques, and the enemy invading Earth in one year will be far stronger than ordinary warriors.
If you want to defeat them, you must first adapt to the gravity on my planet.” “Only then will you stand a chance.” King Kai folded his arms.
“Go catch Bubbles.” “Okay.” Son Goku nodded casually.
The requirement was exactly the same as before.
However, times were different now.
Even if his current power level resembled his younger self, his control over Qi, battle instincts, and combat timing had already reached a completely different realm.
With the same amount of energy, he could unleash several times more power than before.
If he fought his past self now, Goku felt he could win with a single finger.
The moment King Kai gave the order, Bubbles immediately started running at full speed.
Whoosh!
The black monkey transformed into a blur as he dashed around the planet with astonishing speed.
Son Goku’s figure instantly flashed forward.
Like lightning, he chased after Bubbles while continuously changing direction with incredible precision.
His movements were so fast that ordinary eyes would struggle to follow them.
“Huh?!” King Kai could not help letting out a surprised cry.
“That remote little planet called Earth actually produced such a warrior?” Normally, weak environments could not nurture powerful beings.
Small mountains did not produce mighty beasts, and shallow waters could not contain giant fish.
Without the proper environment, it was difficult for true experts to emerge.
Still, remembering that Goku was originally a Saiyan, King Kai quickly felt less surprised.
“Ha!” While chasing Bubbles, Son Goku suddenly seized the perfect opportunity.
His arms shot forward like dragons emerging from the sea.
The movement was so fast that even Bubbles failed to react in time.
In the blink of an eye, Goku firmly grabbed the monkey around the waist.
No matter how Bubbles struggled, he could not escape.
Like carrying a small child, Goku casually lifted Bubbles and returned to King Kai.
“Your speed is impressive.” King Kai looked at Goku in amazement.
He naturally understood Goku’s current power level.
Under normal circumstances, someone at this level should require at least several weeks or even months before successfully catching Bubbles.
Yet Goku accomplished it almost instantly.
The precision of his Qi control had raised his speed far beyond the limits of his apparent strength.
“Truly a genius among humans.” King Kai could not help marveling repeatedly.
