When Zhang Wutian woke up groggily, he realized that his entire body was wet.
His last memory froze on the moment when little Goku's punch hit him. Soon after, Zhang Wutian slowly felt pain spreading throughout his body, as if every bone had been struck.
He forced himself to look around and discovered that he was no longer in front of Goku's house.
Instead, he was lying beside a stream.
"You're awake."
Zhang Wutian saw little Goku, who seemed to have just climbed out of the water. His whole body was soaked.
"Zhang Wutian, you're really too weak. I punched you once and you flew away, then you fainted."
As he spoke, Goku took off his shirt and tried to wring the water out of it.
"That's why I told you to wait," Zhang Wutian said through clenched teeth.
After wringing out the shirt, Goku then removed his pants and began wringing them dry as well.
At that moment, Zhang Wutian witnessed something terrifying.
A ten-year-old child's body wasn't particularly interesting to look at. Usually it was just chubby and childish.
But when Goku took off the pants, Zhang Wutian stared as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Ignoring the pain in his body, he suddenly sat up and pointed at Goku with a trembling finger.
"G-Goku… where did your little thing go?!"
"Little thing?" Goku looked confused.
Then he replied:
"Grandpa said that's something only men have. I'm a girl, so of course I don't have one."
Zhang Wutian froze.
It felt like the sky had flipped upside down.
Goku… didn't have one?!
Impossible!
He had clearly seen it multiple times in the manga!
Was this world even logical anymore?!
"Y-You… how can you be a girl?"
"But Grandpa told me that I'm a girl."
"Then… didn't your grandpa tell you that girls shouldn't take off their clothes in front of men?"
"So Zhang Wutian, you really are a man."
Female-version Goku smiled carefree.
"Earlier I used Grandpa's method to save you. I kissed you on the mouth a few times. Grandpa said girls can only kiss their husbands, so from now on Zhang Wutian, you're my husband. Grandpa also said it's okay to take off all your clothes in front of your husband."
Grandpa Son Gohan… wherever you are in the afterlife… what exactly did you teach your grandson—no, your granddaughter?!
Faced with such powerful and terrifying logic, Zhang Wutian felt completely overwhelmed.
"Oh right, Zhang Wutian," Goku asked curiously,"What is a husband? Is it tasty?"
"Are you planning to eat me?" Zhang Wutian said helplessly.
He felt completely defeated by this little monkey.
At the same time, he realized that Goku was still Goku. Apart from knowing some basic female concepts, she hadn't really changed much after becoming a girl.
After getting up from the ground, Zhang Wutian suddenly noticed something strange.
His injuries… seemed lighter than expected.
After asking Sun Wukong—no, Sun Wukong (female), or "Wu-kong", Zhang Wutian learned that when Goku punched him earlier, he had been sent flying through the air.
Under normal circumstances, such a blow should have caused serious injuries—broken bones or internal bleeding.
But right now, Zhang Wutian only felt pain.
There were no signs of severe internal injuries.
He could move normally.
And strangely enough…
He felt a little stronger.
Zhang Wutian picked up a pebble by the stream and threw it into the distance.
Whoosh!
The pebble shot across the stream and slammed into a cliff on the opposite side before bouncing back.
"So far! Could I throw a stone that far before?"
Zhang Wutian stared at his hands and murmured:
"Did I… become stronger?"
He then turned toward Sun Wukong, who was now roasting fish while drying clothes by the fire.
"Wukong, hit me again with the same light punch from earlier."
"You're too weak, Zhang Wutian. You'll faint again."
"It's fine. This time I'll be ready."
"Really?"
Sun Wukong looked him up and down.
"Alright then. I'll punch you once more. Be careful."
Zhang Wutian raised his guard and prepared himself.
The next moment—
The punch landed again.
A massive force crashed into him head-on.
But this time, he didn't fly away.
Instead, he managed to brace himself against the ground.
Although he was pushed back a long distance and dragged a deep mark across the earth, he neither flew away nor fainted.
He had successfully endured Sun Wukong's "light punch."
"You actually blocked it. That's strange. Zhang Wutian, it feels like you got a little stronger."
"I feel the same."
Zhang Wutian scratched his head.
"Did I awaken some incredible physique? One where getting beaten makes me stronger? What kind of masochistic body is that?"
Realizing that his body had changed somehow, Zhang Wutian started feeling excited.
In the Dragon Ball world, ordinary humans on Earth had almost no combat potential.
Zhang Wutian knew that very well.
In his original world, personal combat strength was basically equivalent to five geese.
He had never expected to possess any fighting talent.
But maybe during the process of transmigration, his body had undergone some mysterious transformation.
If so…
Maybe he could finally look forward to becoming stronger.
Excitement bubbled up inside him.
"Wukong! Fight me using the smallest amount of strength you can!"
"No. I want to eat," Wukong immediately refused.
"…Fine. Then fight me after dinner."
"Okay. But I think I'll beat you very easily."
"You really don't hold back."
"What does 'holding back' mean? Is it tasty?"
After some similar conversations, Sun Wukong finished the fish she had caught.
Then she stood beside the stream and took a fighting stance.
"I'm coming! Don't faint immediately this time."
"I'll try."
The fight began.
Sun Wukong ran straight toward Zhang Wutian and launched a flying kick at him.
"I told you to go easy!!"
Zhang Wutian twisted his poorly trained body and barely dodged the kick.
But the moment Wukong landed, she immediately launched another attack.
Jumping backward, she swung an elbow strike toward him.
"Are you trying to kill me?!"
Zhang Wutian hurriedly raised his arms to block.
A huge force smashed his guard aside.
His defense opened wide.
Wukong's fist slammed straight into his chest.
Unsurprisingly—
Zhang Wutian was sent flying again and plunged straight into the water.
As he gulped down a mouthful of river water, he silently made a vow in his heart.
"Once I learn martial arts and obtain all the amazing opportunities from the storyline… I will definitely beat you at least once!"
At least before you turn into a blonde delinquent girl, he added silently in his mind.
Because saying that out loud would sound far too unambitious.
