Trio

With the wish granted, Lin Chuan could survive in any harsh environment.

Most importantly, he gained the ability to survive in space.

To ensure that the wish was truly fulfilled, Lin Chuan experimented by going directly into space to see if he would face any mortal threats.

It must be said that the kind of enhancement the Dragon's wish granted to his body was incredibly remarkable.

Being in space felt no different from being on Earth.

Previously, Lin Chuan could briefly use his power in space, but that was highly energy-consuming.

This type of survival felt as natural, as if he was born with it.

Standing in the void, Lin Chuan looked down at Earth.

At this moment, he felt something different.

Before, he was strong enough but couldn't truly free himself from the gravitational pull of a planet.

Now, he could ignore those past constraints, which also altered his mindset.

"It's about time. Next, I need to take Bulma to the Lookout again."

"Following the energy trail, they are also moving toward the Lookout."

Muttering to himself, Lin Chuan's figure rapidly descended.

He broke through the atmosphere and entered the interior of Earth.

Going to the Lookout was natural to take Gohan with him.

After all, Goku had entrusted his son to him, and he had to at least go through the motions before handing him over to Piccolo for training.

...

Time quickly passed, nearly half an hour later.

At the Lookout.

At this moment, apart from Goku, the current generation of Z fighters had all arrived.

When Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha were found earlier, Krillin explained the day's events in detail.

To them, it all sounded like a tall tale.

Not only had the strongest among them, Goku, been defeated, but even the once invincible, world-conquering Demon King Piccolo had fallen.

What did this mean?

Wasn't this saying that all their years of training meant nothing to extraterrestrials?

Their worldview was opened, and they needed to be content.

Most critically, in a year, Earth would face an even more formidable invasion by Saiyans.

They must maximise their strength within a year.

Otherwise, they would become mere ants, quickly slaughtered by the invaders.

"I can't believe Goku is an alien, a member of the warrior race, the Saiyans... No wonder his strength is so formidable."

"One year... just one year to get stronger. Although I can't train with King Kai like you did, I won't give up!"

"See you in a year, Goku. I will impress you."

Tien Shinhan reflected internally, unaware he was not human but a three-eyed alien!

As one of Earth's most vital martial artists, second only to Goku and Piccolo, his strength had always been among the best.

If not for limited opportunities or his earlier narrow-mindedness, his strength would be equal to Goku and Piccolo.

After some reflection, Tien Shinhan's gaze shifted slightly and fell on Gohan, who was quietly staying near Kami.

"Is that Goku's son? He's grown so much in just five years." Tien asked unconsciously.

He couldn't help but think of himself... Tien suddenly had a strange thought.

He had a chance, as Launch had always been pursuing him.

But he had ignored her presence for the sake of martial arts training.

"Yes, that's Goku's son, called Gohan. He's four years old."

"Speaking of which, there's something else I haven't told you. For some reason, Goku entrusted Gohan to that Saiyan named Lin Chuan before he left."

Krillin nodded as he spoke, seizing the opportunity to express his biggest concern.

Gohan had been entrusted to Lin Chuan, a Saiyan who had recently arrived on Earth and was virtually a stranger!

"That's just reckless. Goku is still so quick to trust others. This Saiyan named Lin Chuan, who knows if he's good or bad?" Yamcha couldn't help but criticise.

Logically, it should have been to them even if there was to be an entrustment.

Is it okay to hand it over to someone they just met?

Yamcha didn't believe it!

The Earth had been peaceful for so many years, but the arrival of the Saiyans suddenly disrupted it.

What was that about with a Saiyan invasion coming in a year, handing Gohan over to another Saiyan?

"This matter indeed needs careful deliberation!"

...

While they were discussing.

Below the Lookout, a figure rapidly ascended and landed on the Lookout platform.

The speed was so fast that even the four Z fighters present, with their exceptional sensory abilities, couldn't catch it in time.

The newcomer was undoubtedly Lin Chuan, who had returned after making his wish, and of course, Bulma.

"We're here, come down." Lin Chuan gently set Bulma down from his arms and said.

"Huff~~!" Bulma complained as her feet touched the ground: "Could you consider my feelings a bit? Slow down when flying next time. I'm just a normal person and can't handle your speed..."

Bulma continued to complain.

She was thinking about next time, not even realising that she and Lin Chuan had just met that day.

Due to various coincidences and the search for the Dragon Balls, Lin Chuan had been carrying her around.

This scene looked like playful banter between lovers.

For a moment, Yamcha, who was not far away, caught the scene.

At that moment, Yamcha was utterly stunned, feeling as if something had broken in his heart, making his breathing rapid and complex.

"Bulma, why are you with him... what the heck is going on?!! Why is this guy holding you?!!" Yamcha's eyes were red.

He was so angry that he was almost incoherent, his face twisted with hostility.

Bulma was the woman he had always regarded as his, and he wouldn't allow any other man to touch her.

Even a comrade was not allowed!

But now, such a thing had happened.

His girlfriend, in his view, only he could hold!

Even he, as her boyfriend, had only progressed to hugging.

Now, a stranger, a newcomer, had just made a move, making him feel like all his years were wasted.

At this moment, Yamcha was utterly unaware that he and Bulma had broken up a long time ago.

It was because he joined a baseball team and flirted around, either taking other women to movies or dining with them, so Bulma had put him directly on her blacklist.

"Yamcha... and Tien, Chiaotzu." Bulma heard Yamcha's questioning and turned around.

When she noticed Yamcha's angry look, a sense of vindication arose.

Before, she was only jealous, and Yamcha betrayed her.

Now, Yamcha's behaviour, undoubtedly, was frantic.
