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

Chapter 188 Son Gohan's Great Explosion! Belial's Double Blow

The three men's words and expressions of emotion surprised everyone else.

The difference is obviously too great.

Vegeta, in particular, is now questioning his very existence.

He was very confident before, believing that he could never be surpassed by Earthlings, but now these people saying these things have slapped him in the face.

Only Lin Chuan accepted it naturally.

It has to be said that compared to the Saiyans who are constantly striving to improve their strength, Krillin and Tien Shinhan are accumulating experience through their day and night training.

They exemplify the saying "great things come from small beginnings."

Now, having come to the Realm of the Supreme Gods, they have come into contact with a wider world, and thus have gained new insights, and their cultivation will naturally be improved.

Now all that's missing is that final opportunity.

Taking a deep breath, Vegeta steadied himself and remained calm.

Together with Piccolo, he snapped out of his daze and focused his gaze on Old Kaioshin.

[It doesn't seem like a big deal.] Vegeta wondered to himself.

[Is that old guy the Old Kaioshin that Old Lin was talking about?] Piccolo thought to himself.

At first glance, Piccolo instinctively saw through it.

The feeling he got from the Old Kaiojin was undoubtedly that of an old man nearing the end of his life, nothing special.

In the end, Piccolo could only attribute it to the fact that appearances can be deceiving.

Lin Chuan had previously emphasized the Old Kaio God's abilities; otherwise, who would have thought that such an ordinary old man would possess such terrifying power?

"Young Lin, you've brought your whole family to the Supreme Kai's World this time. All the fighting forces from Earth, except for Goku and Raditz, are here, right?" The Old Supreme Kai, hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes and added, "Are you planning to make me work myself out for a while, helping them develop their potential?"

The shrewd and calculating man realized that the only benefit he could bring to Lin Chuan and the others was that one ability.

"As expected of you, Old Kaioshin. Since you've already guessed it, I won't explain any further." With a smile always on his face, Lin Chuan didn't say much to the Old Kaioshin.

Given their relationship, although they haven't met dozens or hundreds of times, nor do they spend every few days or every day together, they are kindred spirits who can understand each other with just a glance.

"Are you really not afraid that I'll die from overusing my powers?" The Old Kaioshin put his hands behind his back, seemingly helpless, but in reality, he was a master of acting.

"I will bring some supplies here afterwards, including the latest weekly magazines and DVDs, of course," Lin Chuan said directly, offering his benefits.

Upon hearing this, the Old Kai nods in satisfaction, his eyes filled with a look of delight at the prospect of a promising young man.

"Since you've put it that way, very well. After all, my developing these people's potential is a benefit to our Seventh Universe," Old Kaioshin said, putting on airs.

The air of a reclusive sage is particularly evident, with his main claim being to benefit the universe.

Some people won't buy into this, but many others will.

Many people in this world think they are smart, but when they actually get caught up in something, they don't realize that their judgment is flawed.

Lin Chuan nodded, glanced at everyone, and then said to the Old Kaioshin, "Without further ado, since you've agreed, let's begin!"

Upon hearing this, the Old King God nodded.

However, East Supreme Kai Shin and Jebt were somewhat anxious.

They knew their ancestors had the potential to develop it, but the timeframe was too tight.

Shouldn't we take a long-term view and proceed slowly?

Anyway, we don't have any enemies, so we don't necessarily need to improve our strength quickly, right?

The Supreme Kai and Kibito will never know the heart of a warrior who yearns to become stronger.

It was only after the Old Kai God reassured them that they didn't need to worry that the two of them calmed down.

"Who's coming first?" the Old King God asked calmly.

"Gohan, you do it! This is the moment of truth," Lin Chuan said.

Since he's in charge, whoever he wants to come can come first.

This is something that neither Vegeta nor anyone else can change.

And no one will object to his decisions.

He used to face skepticism, but over the years, he has become the backbone of the Z Fighters.

With Lin Chuan's words, Son Gohan obediently walked to Lin Chuan's side. The 15-year-old boy looked like a young man.

"Nice to meet you, Old Kaioshin. I am Son Gohan, and thank you for helping me unlock my potential."

Hearing the polite greeting, the Old King God nodded in satisfaction.

"Thank me too soon. Wait until your potential is fully developed, and if you're satisfied, then thank me." Old Kaioshin pinched his chin with one hand, his eyes thoughtfully scrutinizing Son Gohan.

After watching for a long time, until Gohan felt uncomfortable, he finally said, "Not bad, not bad. The genes of you Saiyans are truly astounding! First you, and then this little guy. Not only do you have such strength at such a young age, but your potential is so great that even I can't see the bottom."

"I'm afraid that even without my help to develop his potential, he will be able to gradually draw out this power on his own after some time."

As the Old Kaioshin gave his assessment, Lin Chuan and Piccolo nodded in agreement.

As Gohan's closest uncles, how could they not know how great his potential was?

Vegeta, Tien Shinhan, Krillin, and Chiaotzu all showed expressions of surprise and horror.

[This kid?! Are you kidding me?!] Vegeta remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was in turmoil.

"No wonder Gohan is Goku's son; his strength has improved so quickly," Krillin thought to himself, happy for Gohan and for Goku.

[I wonder how strong Gohan will be after his potential is fully realized? Can he compare to the Gohan from the future to the past?] Tien Shinhan thought of the future Gohan.

[Wow, Gohan is amazing! He's so young and already so strong. He might even surpass Goku in the future.] Chiaotzu thought to himself, involuntarily recalling the first time they met Goku years ago. Back then, Goku had also unleashed incredibly terrifying potential!

"Do I really have a lot of potential?" Even Gohan himself was a little hesitant to believe it.

After all, he had spent three years in arduous training in the Spiritual Time Chamber just a few days ago.

According to Uncle Lin Chuan, the accumulated potential should have been completely exhausted.

"Don't doubt yourself too easily, little guy. You want to become stronger, but you don't have enough faith."

"Come on, let me give you a push." Old Kaioshin said as he led Gohan away into the distance.

After hesitating for a moment, Son Gohan followed closely after confirming Lin Chuan's gaze.

Before long, the two arrived at a scenic grassy slope ahead.

"It might take a while to fully realize its potential, so not only you, but everyone else should be patient and wait."

"Sit down with me."

At Old Kaio's instruction, Son Gohan sat cross-legged.

Meanwhile, Old Kaioshin began his ritual to tap into potential.

The bizarre dance moves were seen by everyone, especially the Z Fighters who had never seen them before, whose faces darkened.

If Lin Chuan hadn't vouched for them, how could they have believed it?

People will even doubt whether this Old Kaio God is reliable or not. He seems like a big conman.

You can't tell from the surface.

Only by using divine perception or even higher levels of mental perception can some details be discovered.

As time went on, Gohan's potential abilities were gradually revealed.

Combat capabilities are also changing at an alarming rate.

……

Time passed while we waited.

Before we knew it, six hours had quietly passed.

The Z Fighters who came with Lin Chuan did not relax for the first time during these six hours, watching Gohan's potential development ceremony with unwavering focus.

The outcome will only be known after the ceremony concludes.

Just when everyone was getting impatient, the Old Kaioshin's potential development ceremony officially came to an end.

The six-hour potential development left Old Kaioshin quite exhausted.

Even without expending any energy, the actions he's taken in this short period alone are enough to give him a hard time.

The way he looked at Son Gohan had also changed.

Most people would take an hour or a few minutes to develop his potential, but Gohan took a full six hours!

What does this mean?!

That's incredible!

How long has it been since Lin Chuan was born?

Although at the time, he was sealed in the Supreme Kai Sword and only had three hours of power available because he lacked sufficient strength.

But compared to the Old Kaioshin, Gohan was still bigger.

[This kid's latent abilities are truly terrifying. In the near future, our universe will produce another figure comparable to Lin.]

[The Saiyans are truly a monstrous race. No wonder they were wiped out by the tides of history. Perhaps, it was even at the behest of Lord Beerus.]

This kid is only fifteen years old and already so amazing; it's unprecedented.

After a moment of reflection, Old Kaioshin fixed his gaze on the sleeping Son Gohan, patted his stiff lower back, and called out, "Little guy, the potential-developing ritual is over. Wake up."

"Huh? Ah?! Is it over already?" Son Gohan, who was fast asleep, was woken up. He opened his blurry eyes and, after a groggy reaction, quickly said, "Thank you so much, Old Kaioshin."

After saying that, once he was fully conscious, Son Gohan quickly stood up.

Even though his legs were a little numb from sitting cross-legged for a long time, this discomfort quickly disappeared thanks to his physical condition.

Having completed his potential development, he couldn't wait to test his strength.

Ultimately, it comes down to doubt: has my own strength really increased?

Because Old Kaioshin's potential development is all-encompassing, and Gohan hadn't seriously tried to perceive it before.

So they had no idea that their strength was far beyond what it was before they developed their potential.

"Hey! Hey!! Wait a minute, you brat!! Beep beep... Beep beep..." Seeing Gohan's actions, Old Kaio Shindon sensed that something was very wrong.

All I can remember is that Lin Chuan was just as reckless back then.

They wanted to stop Son Gohan from drinking, but it was too late. All they could do was curse him.

"Haa ...

Boom! Boom!

A terrifying, deathly white aura erupted suddenly, sweeping across and dividing the entire Realm of the Supreme Gods like a tornado.

The power that erupted in an instant sent the Old Kaioshin flying, completely unable to resist. It was Lin Chuan who had anticipated this and used his own power to save the Old Kaioshin.

Son Gohan's aura is growing explosively, seemingly without limit, shocking everyone.

The boundless aura seemed to condense into substance, transforming into flames that burned in space. An unparalleled and powerful pressure soared into the sky and descended upon the world.

The grass beneath Son Gohan's feet had long been torn apart and crushed away by his air pressure.

The entire Realm of the Supreme Kai trembled under the impact of this power.

When the power exploded completely, the East Supreme Kai stood in the distance, his face covered in sweat, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his face.

This was terrifying, so terrifying that he could only use it to mask his fear.

Jebit's eyelids twitched, even though he already knew in his heart that these Saiyans were all monsters.

But right now, a child who is only fifteen years old can unleash such a level of energy, which is so powerful that he cannot understand it.

"This aura...is it really coming from Gohan?! Is this what it means to unlock potential?!" Krillin exclaimed, his voice trembling with excitement and fear.

"Unbelievable! Gohan's potential power is so terrifying! Old Kaio's development can really bring out and materialize all of Gohan's power..." Tien Shinhan gasped, his shock followed by a strong desire.

He couldn't wait to have the potential of the Old Kaioshin unlocked.

If it were him, to what extent could he achieve?

He has been accumulating experience all this time!

Piccolo remained silent, but in his mind he was making comparisons and evaluations.

[The development of Old Kaioshin's potential has yielded such remarkable results!]

[After his latent power was unlocked, Gohan was practically a different person than before.]

[With this level of power, how strong would he be if he transformed into a Super Saiyan?!]

Recalling what Lin Chuan had said before, he thought that the potential development of this old Kaio God was similar to that of the Grand Elder.

In retrospect, he had underestimated his opponent.

He may seem like a useless old man, but he is actually quite shrewd and resourceful.

The potential for further development of the Old Kaioshin has yielded remarkable results, with an unimaginable increase in power.

He also began to look forward to what level his strength would rise to if his potential was unlocked.

[That old guy's abilities are even more powerful than I thought... Gohan has completely transformed...] Vegeta kept his arms crossed, his expression calm, but his eyes showed a subtle change.

As the prince of the Saiyans, and the strongest Saiyan in Universe 7 besides Lin Chuan and Broly, he would not allow himself to be surpassed by anyone.

Now, he felt threatened by Son Gohan.

That's right! A threat!

Vegeta had considered that Gohan's potential was very strong and that his strength would increase greatly after being developed by Old Kaioshin, but he never expected that the degree of improvement would be so incredible.

Compared to him six hours ago, he's from a completely different dimension.

Is he really inferior to this kid?!

Vegeta felt even more frustrated.

Most importantly, based on the power he currently senses, Gohan's strength has already exceeded his normal state by tens or even hundreds of times!

Unconsciously, it has already put a lot of pressure on him.

He didn't know what was going on with Son Gohan at that moment.

This is not the norm; rather, it has undergone a transformation and reached a mysterious form.

The only ones who could tell the difference were probably Lin Chuan and the Old King God.

Vegeta was relieved that he had not yet developed his potential, while Gohan had not yet mastered Super Saiyan 4.

He was so certain because he knew it based on his own judgment.

As for Vegeta, he wouldn't really care if Goku and Raditz got stronger through training; in fact, he would think it was quite normal!

If they can't become stronger, then he won't be able to accept it.

After all, it's a sad thing to have no one to compare yourself to on the road to becoming stronger.

As a Saiyan prince with the purest royal blood flowing through his veins, he has always considered himself the most talented Saiyan. Now, not only has he been surpassed by lower-class warriors, but even Gohan, a hybrid Earthling, has reached this level.

"Just you wait! Once I've fully developed my potential, I'll far surpass you! I refuse to believe that what you said, Lin Chuan, is true." Vegeta composed himself, having already made his own plans.

He had his own beliefs, and he believed that he was no worse than anyone else.

He wanted to test the accuracy of Lin Chuan's words.

……

With the power fully unleashed, Son Gohan finally stopped the power surge.

His appearance has changed in ways that are not visible from the outside; the only difference is his expression and demeanor, which are more resolute and courageous than before.

"Is this... my current power? It feels completely different from before... and an absolute confidence that makes me feel like I can succeed at anything!" Son Gohan closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes in his current physical form.

Having had his latent abilities unlocked by the Old Kaioshin, he could now feel the energy fully awakening in his own body.

Every cell in his body is filled with absolutely powerful energy.

Compared to Uncle Vegeta in the previous battle, he is no less impressive.

At this moment, it seems that he can handle anyone who fights him.

Apart from Uncle Lin Chuan, even Uncle Piccolo and Uncle Vegeta, or Dad and Uncle... it's all the same!

Excessive confidence leads to false perceptions.

Just as this feeling was about to spread, Son Gohan suddenly felt a pang of fear and immediately dismissed the unrealistic thought.

Realizing what was happening, he gasped sharply.

He almost lost his mind amidst this surge of immense power.

With a sigh in his heart, Son Gohan finally managed to calm down his sense of imbalance.

Before long, Lin Chuan slowly walked towards Son Gohan.

His gaze swept over the mysterious Son Gohan, and he had to admit that seeing him for the second time was truly unbelievable.
