Son Goku's true power would blossom later, during his training under Master Roshi. This was still the time when Son Gohan was laying the groundwork for Son Goku's future. "Thank you, sir, for taking care of Kakarot. We are truly grateful," Gine said, finally releasing her son and leading him to Son Gohan to express her thanks. When she first heard that Son Goku had suffered a head injury, Gine had been deeply worried. Now, seeing her son unharmed, she felt a wave of relief and gratitude towards Son Gohan. "You're too kind. I really like this child," Son Gohan replied with a warm smile. "Um, forgive me for asking, but are you planning to take him back?" He added with a hint of hesitation in his voice. "Sir, our home planet is currently facing some issues, so returning isn't feasible right now. We'll likely stay here for a while," Jiang Chen answered before Gine could speak. "Is that so?" Son Gohan's eyes brightened, and he sighed in relief. "Aunt Gine, it seems Kakarot is quite attached to this gentleman. How about we stay here for the time being? We don't have much else to do right now anyway," he suggested, turning to Jiang Chen. "That works!" Gine agreed after a moment's hesitation, seeing how close her youngest son seemed to be with this old man. Raditz opened his mouth to speak but then closed it again when Gine nodded. "Raditz, don't underestimate this gentleman. Though his Battle Power might be low, his understanding of ki surpasses even the Namekians," Jiang Chen said, noticing Raditz's skeptical expression. "Him?" Raditz asked, looking at Son Gohan with disbelief. Given his experiences with Zuno and the Great Elder, Raditz had a favorable impression of the Namekians. But now Jiang Chen was claiming that this frail human understood ki better than them? If Jiang Chen hadn't said it, Raditz would have been tempted to challenge him. What kind of cosmic joke was this? Zuno possessed a Battle Power exceeding 18,000, while this old man before him probably barely reached 100. How could that be possible? "You flatter me. I'm nothing special," Son Gohan said, scratching his head awkwardly. "This isn't flattery. On Earth, you're arguably the second greatest martial artist after Master Roshi," Jiang Chen replied, shaking his head with a smile. He wasn't joking. Old Son Gohan, though his appearances were brief, was undoubtedly a martial arts master renowned throughout the Earth. His reputation was on par with Master Roshi, which spoke volumes. And martial arts weren't solely measured by Battle Power. Master Roshi wasn't particularly strong, with a Battle Power of just over 100, but his martial arts prowess was among the highest in Universe 7, even in the entire Zen'ō universe. Old Son Gohan, being second only to Master Roshi, also possessed a high level of martial arts mastery. Jiang Chen's words caused Raditz to shift his expression. Over time, he had come to understand Jiang Chen well, and the repeated emphasis on Son Gohan's abilities made it clear that Jiang Chen was serious. There was only one explanation: this man truly possessed a profound understanding of Ki Training. Raditz was filled with shock and couldn't help but scrutinize Son Gohan more closely. Son Gohan, meanwhile, awkwardly scratched his head, unsure of how to respond. Jiang Chen smiled and chose not to say anything more. Then, the three began constructing houses next to Son Gohan's. With their Saiyan strength, building the houses was a breeze. In less than half a day, two houses similar in size to Son Gohan's were erected nearby— one for Gine's family and the other for Jiang Chen. (Martial arts level and Battle Power are not synonymous. In the Power Tournament manga, Son Goku's attainment of Ultra Instinct was a testament to Master Roshi's teachings.) ... Jiang Chen and his companions had made a temporary home on Mount Paozu. He wasn't in a rush to leave. Although he had initially planned to head to Planet Yardrat after dropping Gine and Raditz off on Earth, he still had plenty to accomplish while he was here. Earth, despite being a low-level planet, was one of the universe's special places. It was just as remarkable as Namek or Planet Yardrat. Not only did it boast of having the Senzu Beans, but it also had the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and the Dragon Balls. Beyond those treasures, Earth had something else that piqued his interest: martial arts training. Thanks to Zuno from Namek, Jiang Chen had established a solid foundation for his Ki. But that was all it was— a foundation. While Namek's Ki training methods were effective, they paled in comparison to what Earth had to offer. This wasn't just about Kame Sennin's rudimentary form of Ultra Instinct; it was also about the fact that unlike most planets where beings could only tap into their full power— or sometimes not even that— Earthlings had the ability to unleash their full potential and even multiply it several times over. Yes, several times over. It was akin to a weaker version of Kaiōken, and it was simply incredible. For Jiang Chen, mastering Earth's martial arts was essential if he wanted to advance further in the future. Relying solely on his Saiyan traits might allow him to transform into a Super Saiyan, but reaching the level of Son Goku would be nearly impossible without proper training from someone like Beerus, the God of Destruction, or Whis, the Angel. And clearly, the former was the more attainable option. After spending a few days with Gine, Raditz, and Son Goku on Mount Paozu, Jiang Chen took to the skies, flying toward the ocean. If he wanted to learn martial arts, there was no better choice than seeking out Kame Sennin. Though Kame Sennin's strength wasn't overwhelming, his martial arts expertise was among the best on Earth. Finding him wasn't too difficult; with Jiang Chen's current speed, he could circle the entire planet in no time. Even though Kame Sennin had suppressed his aura to the point of being nearly undetectable, Jiang Chen quickly located him. He landed on a small island, exhaling a breath of stale air, a smile spreading across his face. As he descended, an old man with a white beard, looking lively and amiable, wearing sunglasses and flashy clothes, awaited him at the entrance. A massive turtle shell rested on his back. "Who are you, guest?" Kame Sennin asked with a serious expression on his face with beads of sweat forming on his forehead. His keen senses picked up on the terrifying power radiating from the childlike figure before him. "Muten-Rōshi, I've heard you are the God of Martial Arts. I've come to seek your guidance in martial arts training," Jiang Chen replied with a smile. "Guest, with your strength, you probably don't need my guidance," Kame Sennin said, taken aback, then shook his head. Although he couldn't gauge Jiang Chen's exact strength, he felt the overwhelming pressure emanating from him like the sun. "No, Muten-Rōshi, I think you've misunderstood. I'm not here to learn how to increase my strength, but to train in martial arts," Jiang Chen clarified, his tone serious. "Martial arts?" Kame Sennin raised an eyebrow, surprised. "Yes. You can probably sense the immense power within me, but my control over it isn't perfect. I need a higher level of martial arts, and I believe no one is better suited to teach me than you." "This is a small gift. Please accept it," Jiang Chen said earnestly, producing a package and letting a corner peek out. "Pfft!" Kame Sennin couldn't help but spray blood from his nose when he saw that corner. "Hahaha, no problem, no problem! I love such sincere dedication to martial arts!" Kame Sennin exclaimed, his voice cheerful as he quickly took the package. At that moment, all his caution and wariness vanished. Jiang Chen couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly but chose to remain silent. Having read the original story, he understood that this was just Kame Sennin's way. ...
