Gohan nodded again.
"So, Gohan, your clone won't be discovered by Chi-Chi, right?"
"No. My clone has the same memories as me!"
"Is that so? But where did you learn this cloning technique? I've never seen such a powerful cloning technique!"
"This… I learned it in a dream!"
"In a dream?"
"Yeah. When I was dreaming, I dreamed of an old man, and he taught me the cloning technique in the dream!"
"In a dream? Gohan, you can still remember things from your dreams?"
Hearing this, Piccolo couldn't help but feel doubtful.
"That's right! That old man not only taught me the cloning technique, but also Instant Transmission!"
"Instant Transmission? What is Instant Transmission, Gohan?"
Goku asked.
Hearing Gohan's fabrication, the system immediately snorted coldly.
"What dreaming of an old man? I clearly taught you everything!"
Gohan ignored the system and began explaining Instant Transmission to Goku.
"Instant Transmission is a technique that lets you instantly move to someone's vicinity by sensing their ki. The distance is extremely far—even if the person is on another planet somewhere in the universe, as long as you can sense their ki, you can instantly move there!"
"You can instantly move to other planets?"
Gohan nodded.
"Then, Gohan, can you teach me this technique?"
"Yes, but it's quite difficult to learn and might take a lot of time."
"It's fine. We can learn it slowly."
Goku said this while glancing at Piccolo, who was still covered in dust.
"Piccolo, were you just fighting Gohan?"
"No! I was just fighting his clone!"
Goku looked at Gohan's clone, whose ki was clearly weaker.
"Then, Piccolo, did you defeat Gohan's clone?"
"No."
Piccolo shook his head.
"Then, Gohan, can I spar with your clone?"
"Of course!"
Gohan replied, giving his clone a look.
Gohan's clone had a power level of at least over 800,000. With Goku's current strength, there was no way he could defeat it. Gohan silently told his clone to go easy so Goku wouldn't lose too badly.
Seeing Gohan agree, Goku immediately flew to an empty area nearby.
Gohan's clone followed, flying several hundred meters ahead of him.
Goku chuckled and assumed a fighting stance.
"Then, shall we begin?"
Gohan's clone nodded.
"Haa!"
Goku shouted loudly and rushed forward in an instant, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks like a whirlwind.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!"
Gohan's clone barely moved, calmly dodging all of Goku's attacks.
Goku was startled.
At that moment, Gohan's clone suddenly vanished and reappeared behind him.
"He's… gone!"
Before the words even finished, Gohan's clone leaped up and slammed his right foot into Goku's back.
Bang!!
Goku was sent flying, crashing hard into a nearby mountain.
Rocks tumbled down instantly, burying him beneath them.
"Damn it!" Goku roared angrily and struggled back to his feet.
"Kaio-ken!"
With a loud shout, a fiery red aura erupted around Goku's body.
Like a red flash, he charged straight toward Gohan's clone.
Whoosh—
Just as Goku closed in, the clone disappeared again.
Boom!!
Goku abruptly stopped and scanned his surroundings.
Then, Gohan's clone appeared to Goku's left and kicked him hard with his right foot.
Bang!!
Goku was smashed out of the air like a shooting star.
With a thunderous crash, his body slammed into the ground.
Dust billowed into the sky.
After the dust settled, a deep crater could be seen.
"Huff… huff…"
Goku gasped for breath, staring up at Gohan's clone in the sky.
"So strong… just two moves almost made my body unable to bear it!"
"Haa!"
Clenching his fists, Goku activated Kaio-ken once more.
"Five-times Kaio-ken!"
With a roar, his body turned into a blazing red streak and shot forward.
Five-times Kaio-ken was his current limit. If even this wasn't enough, there was no point in continuing.
"What?!" Piccolo was shocked.
Goku's normal power level was already around twenty to thirty thousand. With five-times Kaio-ken, it exceeded one hundred thousand.
Bang!!
Goku arrived in front of Gohan's clone and threw a full-powered punch with his right fist.
The clone flashed to the side, narrowly avoiding it.
Goku overshot, landed on the ground behind the clone, and immediately turned around.
Bang!!
His fist finally landed solidly on Gohan's clone.
The clone was sent flying more than a thousand meters away.
Seeing this, Goku quickly withdrew his ki and flew back to Gohan.
"Gohan, did you tell your clone to hold back?"
As a seasoned fighter, Goku could clearly sense that the clone hadn't been fighting seriously.
"Yes… I told him to hold back just a little."
At that moment, Piccolo spoke with dissatisfaction.
"Gohan, if you let your clone hold back against us again, we'll just fight you directly!"
"I understand, Uncle Piccolo."
Gohan lowered his head in apology.
Seeing this, Piccolo didn't pursue the matter further.
"Then, Gohan, how much of your strength does your clone have?"
"One-thousandth."
"One-thousandth?!"
Goku was completely stunned.
"So that means my current strength isn't even one-thousandth of yours?"
"Not just you," Piccolo said flatly. "Me too."
Hearing that, Goku felt a small sense of relief.
"Alright! From today onward, I'll train even harder and catch up to Gohan as soon as possible!"
Piccolo remained silent.
He wasn't even as strong as Goku right now—catching up to Gohan felt like a distant dream.
"Then, Gohan," Goku asked seriously, "how did you become this strong in just one year?"
