Chapter 22 Where are the Dragon Balls?
Chapter 22 Where are the Dragon Balls?
Looking at the energy ball in his hand that emitted a pale white light, Rhode carefully sensed it and pondered it for a moment before waving his hand and dispersing it.
Immediately afterwards, he mobilized the Qi within his body and released it to the surface of his body, transforming the Qi on the surface of his body according to what he had just sensed.
Under its control, the originally white and transparent gas gradually lost its transparency and emitted light. However, having learned from the previous experience, this time the light was not as dazzling as the sun, but rather a pale white, with a cold and aloof feel.
This light was the same as the energy ball he had just condensed; it originated from the light Saiyans emitted when they rubbed the moon with their hands to transform.
At this moment, Rhodes was completely enveloped in this cool, clear light.
However, although he successfully transformed the emitted aura into a cool, clear light, he still frowned.
However, under this cold light, Rhodes' body did not show any transformation reaction, and he didn't even feel anything.
After some reflection, he realized the problem: when he enveloped his entire body in light, the energy was dispersed and could not reach its original intensity, which was why his body did not react at all.
Realizing the problem, Rhodes immediately began to increase his strength. As his strength continued to increase, his body finally changed. In just a breath, he transformed back into his giant ape form.
"I'd say it's a small improvement, if I may!"
Rhodes looked at his giant ape body. Although it hadn't met his expectations, it was still acceptable. After all, he had taken the first step. As long as he continued to improve and comprehend it, he should be able to achieve his ultimate goal.
Thinking this, and seeing that it was getting late, the cold light that enveloped his whole body dissipated in an instant. Then, Rhodes deactivated his giant ape form, and his body gradually returned to its normal size.
Afterwards, Rhodes did not linger on the wasteland. He took flight and returned to the Western Capital shortly afterward.
Having just returned to his residence and finished washing up, Rhodes was about to head to the gravity chamber for training when Dr. Brief arrived.
"Is there something you need, Doctor?"
Although they were temporarily staying at Dr. Brief's house, he was a very busy man who spent all his time either in the laboratory or taking care of his pets. In addition, Rod and Ella were both cultivation fanatics, so they didn't have many opportunities to meet.
Seeing Rhodes's puzzled expression, Dr. Brief smiled and held out his hand, handing him a palm-sized device: "This is the Dragon Ball Radar; I've already made it!"
Whether it's due to some kind of inertia or because they are father and daughter, Dr. Brief's Dragon Radar is vastly different from Bulma's, with almost no difference between them.
"And this too."
After handing the Dragon Radar to Rhodes, Dr. Brief did not leave. Instead, he spoke again, taking out two crystal-clear beads with red stars shining inside from his pocket.
One of them was a sample, a three-star sphere from Master Roshi, while the other was undoubtedly a two-star sphere.
"I found this in my storage room at home after the Dragon Ball Radar was finished, so I'm giving it to you as well!"
After handing the two-star Dragon Balls to Rhodes, Dr. Brief walked away without lingering.
"Thanks, Doctor!"
Seeing the doctor leave after accomplishing his mission, Rhodes hurriedly called out to him, only to be greeted by Dr. Brief's waving hand and his retreating back.
Dr. Brief helped me a lot!
Watching that departing figure, Rhodes couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The other party's kindness was truly immense, and he couldn't repay it in a short time.
As the inventor of the universal capsule and the world's richest man, his material needs have reached their limit. Perhaps he can bring more technological products and technologies from the universe in the future.
Then, Rhodes thought of Dr. Brief's daughter Bulma and Bulma's sister Tais. Perhaps it wouldn't be bad to give the information to these two.
Although both Bulma and Tais are main characters in Dragon Ball and are unlikely to be in mortal danger, they will certainly suffer a lot.
Besides, now that we're in the real world, who knows what the timeline of this world is like?
After all, the Dragon Ball world contains many parallel universes, so anything can happen.
In short, no matter how the world develops, this family will protect itself.
After carefully storing the two Dragon Balls, Rhode activated the Dragon Ball radar in his hand. With continuous adjustments, the location of the other Dragon Balls was immediately displayed on the screen.
I wonder if the Dragon Balls are still in the same positions as in the story, now that they've been brought forward by ten years or so?
With these thoughts in mind, Rod embarked on his journey to find the Dragon Balls, guided by the radar.
Although it's called a journey, with his current strength of nearly ten thousand combat power, once the location is determined, it won't be long before he can collect all the Dragon Balls.
Not long after leaving West Capital, Rhodes landed in a valley and dug out a five-star object a dozen meters underground, which was somewhat different from the one Bulma had searched for.
In this way, he possessed three Dragon Balls.
Continuing on their journey, before long, guided by the Dragon Ball Radar, Rhode arrived in a mountain range and saw an old man with white hair and beard, but a robust physique, wearing a long robe.
This place is called Baozi Mountain. The old man is none other than Son Gohan, who adopted Goku. Strictly speaking, he is also Rod's senior brother.
"Child, is there something you need?"
Deep in the mountains, seeing a lone figure, Rod, who looked like a child, scrutinized him and vaguely sensed his extraordinary nature. Gohan was somewhat surprised and kindly asked him a question.
Looking at the energetic Son Gohan, Rod said kindly, "Hello, my name is Rod. I trained with Master Roshi for a while, and he mentioned you!"
"Master Roshi, it's been so long since I visited him!"
Upon hearing that he was Master Roshi's disciple, Gohan looked at Rod in surprise, revealing an expression of "I knew it." Thinking of Master Roshi, he sighed with emotion.
After a brief conversation, Rod explained his purpose and successfully borrowed the Four Stars from Gohan.
After leaving Baozi Mountain, we found the Six-Star Planet in a forest outside a village.
Later, Rhodes obtained a planet from a bird's nest on a cliff.
When it arrived at the location of the last seven-star Dragon Ball, what came into view was a mountain range covered in flames, which was the residence of the Ox-King.
Obtaining the Seven Stars was a bit difficult, so Rhodes fought the Bull Demon King. Needless to say, Rhodes won easily and successfully acquired the Seven Stars.
However, Rod forged a deep friendship with the Bull Demon King during their battle, and was invited to the castle by him, where a banquet was held for him. The two then had a thoroughly enjoyable eating contest.
Then, the Bull Demon King was defeated again.
After a conversation, the two quickly became close friends despite their age difference. It was through this that he met Kiki, who was just learning to speak, which was a unique experience for Rod.
Now that all seven Dragon Balls have been collected, we can summon Shenron!
