Dragon Ball: Starting with a power level increase of 1 per second

Chapter 14 One Year! The Protagonist Has His Own Halo

On Earth.

At this moment, the atmosphere was incredibly somber.

After learning just how terrifying the two Saiyans who were about to arrive would be, Goku and Piccolo were dumbfounded.

The scene was incredibly quiet, so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.

Undoubtedly, when their combat power data was only a few hundred points, and even with their best efforts they could only reach a little over a thousand, the gap of several hundred combat power was something they could not easily overcome.

Compared to Lin Chuan, whose combat power is 5000 points, the difference is like heaven and earth.

Their current combat power of 18000 points made them realize just how terrifying this enemy was.

No matter how confident Goku and Piccolo are, no matter how many hardships and dangers they have experienced from the past to the present, they have always managed to turn danger into safety.

But this time, it's different from the past.

Standing there, Lin Chuan didn't say anything to break the atmosphere.

It's not the right time for him to intervene; we need to let them realize things on their own and develop the will to fight.

Otherwise, even if he changes the plot, it will backfire.

After a long silence, Sun Wukong took a deep breath and came to his senses.

He calmed his anxious son beside him, then took the initiative to ask, "Big brother, how long will it take for that Saiyan named Vegeta to arrive on Earth?"

How long will it take to reach Earth?

By asking this question, Sun Wukong had undoubtedly chosen to confront the issue head-on.

This incident has made him realize that he has no choice but to face the challenge head-on.

He couldn't just stand by and watch Earth be invaded while he hid away!

Bick, standing to the side, frowned, pricked up his ears, and looked on with a serious expression.

He was certainly not the kind of person who would sit idly by and wait for death, so he understood Sun Wukong's thoughts.

Ultimately, even if the numbers are indeed terrifying, he's not the kind of person who's easily intimidated by a single number.

Shocked as he was, and though the enemy was powerful, he would not surrender and wait to die.

"Based on my calculations of when I arrived on Earth, it should take at most a year to travel from the Ortega Nebula where Vegeta and the others are located to Earth! It might even take less!" Raditz said with a grim face.

At this moment, he was clearly unaware of his younger brother's intentions.

"A year...that's alright! We still have time to cultivate." Having received the answer, Sun Wukong's expression relaxed slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

If it would only take a few days or ten days to half a month to reach Earth, then he really wouldn't have any other choice.

Even if they had that much time to cultivate, surpassing their older brother Raditz might not be a problem, but they definitely couldn't even compare to Lin Chuan.

If you can't even reach 5000 combat power, how can you fight against an enemy with 18000 points?

If their combat power doesn't even reach 10,000, they don't even have the right to challenge the other side.

It's not even a fraction of what others make...

However, with a year to spare, they at least have time to train.

Piccolo, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement upon hearing Goku's words.

He knew that Sun Wukong shared similar thoughts with him.

It must be said that although Piccolo of this era has not completely shaken off the persona of the Great Demon King, he is already changing.

The evolving situation forced him to change himself in order to adapt to this new era.

Raditz was utterly astonished when he heard Sun Wukong's words and saw Sun Wukong clenching his fists, looking at him with such expectation.

"Hey! Kakarot. You don't really think you can turn the tide and defeat Vegeta and the others with just a year of training, do you?!" Raditz's lips twitched, unable to accept that his younger brother was so foolish.

Little did he know that his younger brother, propelled by fate, would actually achieve it in the future.

However, no one would believe something so outrageous before it actually happened.

"Hehe~~! You can't say that, can you? In my opinion, we can't just give up on ourselves because the enemy is too strong, can we?"

"A year is not a long time, but it's not short either! Even if I can't reach that high level of strength in the end, at least I tried my best, and I won't regret it."

Sun Wukong's answer was so firm.

His words were also full of encouragement.

No wonder he'll be the protagonist, the backbone of the Z Fighters group.

Even though he can be silly at times and selfish at others, in the end, he is always the one who bravely forges ahead and resists all dangers.

"That's right! And just because others can't do it doesn't mean we can't!"

"For years, our strength has been limited by our narrow perspective, preventing us from improving! But things are different now. We have seen a higher realm exist, so a year is enough for us to become stronger!"

Bick chimed in.

He stood beside Sun Wukong, which surprised even Sun Wukong greatly.

However, Goku was very happy because he hadn't killed Piccolo back then because he hoped that Piccolo could one day fight alongside him.

Although I had my own selfish motives at the time, wanting to have a competitor in the future.

However, Goku did want to become friends with Piccolo.

Hearing their words, Raditz laughed out of anger: "I admit, hard work might really make us stronger! After all, Talos is a perfect example!"

"But, Kakarot, you're too naive! And you Namekian are too arrogant."

"Before you spout such grandiose claims, first you should raise your combat power to less than a thousand points!"

"You're not even qualified to fight me one-on-one. Forget Vegeta, even Nappa, with a power level of only 4000, could be easily crushed to death with a wave of my hand!"

Raditz has given up arguing and is now stating the facts.

He wanted to let them know through these words that imagination is fine, but don't think of things as too wonderful.

Increasing it from one thousand to ten thousand is simply a pipe dream.

However, Raditz would never know just how unwavering Goku and Piccolo's beliefs would be.

"Those who haven't even tried yet and are already giving up and saying it's impossible, stop spreading alarmist rumors!"

"If you're scared, you'd better run away with your tail between your legs! Or you can go back and surrender, and then you can all invade Earth together and see if we can defeat you!"

Piccolo's rebuttal was filled with the implication that "I, Piccolo the Great Demon King, will definitely become stronger to show you."

Upon hearing this, Raditz's anger erupted uncontrollably.

He believed he was already speaking very politely, and that the Namekians were simply courting death.

"It's you who can't see reality!!!"

"How could you, who only live on Earth, possibly know the true extent of the difference in combat power?!"

……

"Fine, Talos! You have 5000 combat points, you tell me!" After saying this, Raditz shut his mouth and even slapped his forehead to show how much pressure he was under.
