Power Surge

Mount Paozu.

The battle between Kahn and Son Goku was nearing its end. Kahn had been controlling the fight to match Son Goku's level, but he was disappointed to find that Son Goku's attacks posed little threat to him. This kind of combat training was dull and ineffective for his current strength.

Thus, Kahn decided to go all out and with a single powerful move, he defeated Son Goku.

"Ouch…" Son Goku groaned, standing up with the support of his arms. "Brother Kahn, how did you suddenly become so strong? I can't keep up with you anymore."

Son Goku distinctly remembered that Kahn's strength had been slightly weaker than his own. But now, Kahn could defeat him with a single blow. To Son Goku, it felt like Kahn had transformed into a different person—he became so powerful!

Kahn descended from the sky and said flatly, "After all, I'm your older brother. It's normal for me to be stronger than you."

"But," Son Goku scratched his head, "I remember the last time we fought, you were still struggling. Brother Kahn, today it felt like you were toying with me. It's unbelievable."

This indeed summarized Son Goku's fight with Kahn today. Although it seemed like they were evenly matched at first, Kahn had seen through all of Son Goku's moves. Every attack, every strategy, Kahn had anticipated and countered them all effortlessly. In the end, Kahn defeated him with one blow.

It was an all-encompassing defeat, not an evenly matched battle!

At this moment, Son Goku could conclude that Kahn's current strength far exceeded his own. He couldn't fathom how Kahn had suddenly improved so quickly, leaving him far behind.

Kahn didn't answer Son Goku's question. Instead, he patted him on the shoulder and said with a light smile, "Continue to train hard. Sooner or later, you'll become as strong as me, or probably even stronger."

Despite being a low-level warrior, Khan was well aware how strong Goku would become in the future. He would undoubtedly surpass all Saiyans.

After finishing their combat training, Kahn turned and left Mount Paozu without lingering any longer.

Leaving Mount Paozu, Kahn made his way to the Western Capital, heading to the Capsule Corporation.

After much deliberation, Kahn decided to ask Bulma to create a gravity training room. Vados was right; practicing against the air had little effect, and there were no equal opponents on Earth at the moment.

Therefore, to quickly improve his strength, he could only rely on a gravity training room.

As for the money issue, he decided to talk to Bulma first. If that didn't work out, he'd have to think of another solution.

Capsule Corporation.

"Hey, it's Kahn! Its been awhile since you've last been here," Dr. Brief greeted warmly as he received his guest.

Dr. Brief was quite familiar with Kahn. After all, he was his daughter's ex-boyfriend.

Kahn scratched his head with a dry smile and asked, "Hello Dr. Brief, is Bulma home?"

Dr. Brief indicated the direction of the laboratory with his eyes and said, "Bulma is in the lab. You can find her there."

"Okay, sorry to bother you and thank you."

In the laboratory, Bulma was deeply immersed in her scientific research. She hadn't taken care of herself for several days, making her look a bit haggard. Ever since she learned that Kahn was going to marry another woman, her mood had plummeted. To avoid feeling irritable, Bulma threw herself into her research day and night to distract herself.

She hadn't even noticed Kahn walking beside her. Seeing the bloodshot eyes in Bulma's eyes, Kahn couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

He gently said, "How about you put the work down for now and take a rest."

Hearing Kahn's voice, Bulma looked up. She stared at Kahn for a few seconds, then put down her research, got up, and left without saying anything.

Of course, Kahn knew why Bulma looked so haggard. She must have heard about his marriage. Judging by the way she tortured herself, she probably hadn't forgotten him. That's why she was working so hard on her research, even forgetting about her own wellbeing.

"Hey wait," Kahn sighed softly, then followed after her.

In the living room, Bulma sat across from Kahn with a straight face, saying nothing. The atmosphere was awkward.

"You don't seem to welcome me," Kahn broke the silence.

Bulma turned her face away and said angrily, "You're already married. Why are you looking for me?"

"Don't you want me to come to you?" Kahn asked.

"I…" Bulma started but then swallowed her words. In fact, she was happy that Kahn came to her, but the thought of him marrying another woman made her feel disappointed.

After a few seconds of silence, Bulma turned her head and said, "Tell me, why are you here today? Are you here to laugh at me?"

Kahn was at a loss for words. "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Hmph!" Bulma snorted. "Then why didn't you marry me? Why did you find another woman? Am I not good enough for you?"

Of course, Kahn knew Bulma was angry. Not good enough for him? What a joke. It was Kahn who didn't deserve her.

Who was Bulma? The world's richest person, a top and outstanding scientist. Her appearance and figure were also unparalleled. If she wanted, the best young men of the right age in the world could be arranged for her to choose from.

Kahn didn't know how to answer Bulma's question. He could only say, "Bulma, you are excellent, but I'm married now, so it's pointless to talk about it. I came to ask you to help me build a gravity training room."

"Training, training, training again!" Bulma roared in dissatisfaction. "You're only thinking about your stupid training. Why didn't you think of me when you were looking for someone to marry? I'm not interested in helping you, find someone else!"

Bulma reprimanded Kahn and then turned around and left, leaving Kahn alone, tossed in the wind.

"Ah, this," Kahn muttered, dumbfounded. He didn't expect Bulma's reaction to be so intense. If he had known that Bulma still had feelings for him, why did he bother with all the blind dates? They could have gotten back together. But now, it was too late. He was married, and his new wife was waiting for him at home.

"Let's wait until she's emotionally stable before coming back," Kahn sighed, rubbing his forehead in frustration, and left.

Back home, it was already noon. Vados had prepared a rich lunch for Kahn.

"Husband, you're back! You must be exhausted from your training. Come and have a meal and rest," Vados greeted him as he entered, holding his arm and smiling.

"Okay," Kahn nodded with a smile, then sat down at the table to have lunch with Vados.

After eating, Vados asked, "Honey, how was the taste? It's my first time cooking for you, and I don't know if you liked it."

"The taste was quite good, but the dishes are different from what I usually eat," Kahn praised her efforts, even though the dishes weren't very appetizing. "Honey, my cooking skills aren't bad. How about I teach you a few tricks tonight?"

"Oh, my husband knows how to cook? Of course, I have to learn from you," Vados replied cheerfully.

Vados used to cook for Champa in the sixth universe, so her cooking style leaned towards the sixth universe's tastes. As a human from the seventh universe, Kahn wasn't used to her previous cooking.

However, Vados didn't expect Kahn to know how to cook. In her precognitive dream, Kahn never showed his cooking skills.

"Alright," Kahn said with great interest. "I'll show you what real good cooking is tonight!"

Kahn had certain attainments in cooking. After their grandfather Son Gohan's death, Kahn took charge of daily meals. If it had been up to Son Goku to cook, they would have starved!

That night, Vados finally tasted what real food was like. The dishes Kahn made were so delicious that even Vados, who had lived for millions of years and tasted countless delicacies in the sixth universe, was full of praise. She had never eaten such delicious food before; it was simply out of this world!

From that day on, Vados followed Kahn to learn cooking seriously, adapting to the tastes and foods Kahn was used to. Under Kahn's careful teaching and Vados' learning talent, her cooking skills improved rapidly.

In this warm daily life, a month passed in the blink of an eye.

One day, Kahn woke up from bed as usual.

"System, let's do the daily sign-in."

[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the daily check-in and getting the daily check-in reward: 100 combat power improvement card. ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for signing in for a full month. You have received the full month sign-in reward: Primary Combat Power Improvement Card.]

"Primary Combat Power Improvement Card? What is this?" Kahn wondered, scratching his head in confusion.

After reading the introduction, he realized that the card could increase combat power by a range of 100 to 3,000 points.

"In other words, this card can increase my combat power by at least one hundred points and up to three thousand points… Not bad," he thought. Even at its lowest, the value couldn't be disappointing.

Kahn calculated that if the card gave him an average increase of around 1,500 points, he would be very satisfied.

"Use the Primary Combat Power Improvement Card," Kahn commanded.

[Ding! Successfully used the Primary Combat Power Improvement Card. The host has received an increase of 2,680 combat power points.]

As the system's electronic prompt sounded, Kahn felt a powerful surge of energy pouring into his body. With this influx of energy, his limbs and cells began to vibrate with excitement.

Kahn clenched his fists, feeling the incredible power coursing through him. A smile spread across his face. "Awesome!"

[Host: Kahn.

Age: 25 years old.

Bloodline: Advanced Saiyan.

Combat Strength: 5,300.

Skills: Breathing Control, Flying Technique.]

Noticing the drastic change in his combat power from a month ago, Kahn felt a surge of satisfaction. With this newfound strength, he could easily overpower Raditz.

Reflecting on the timeline, Kahn realized that Raditz should have already arrived on Earth by now.
