Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Vegeta thought things would go according to his plan, but he was surprised to hear Piccolo speak to him like that.

"Do you want to die before Cell?" Piccolo asked, his voice rising in anger. After regaining his composure, he reluctantly took a step back. "I'll go with you," he said.

Vegeta didn't want to do this, but he felt that Piccolo's strength was no less than his own at this moment, and his attitude was tough.

Chapter 786 Underground Research Institute: Cultivating Gohan.

If I were to actually attack him, my vital energy would be severely depleted, and then how could I possibly take revenge!

Vegeta felt resentful whenever he thought of that despicable Android 18.

So although Vegeta agreed, he angrily declared, "I must become stronger than a Super Saiyan!"

Upon hearing this, Trunks exclaimed in surprise, "Beyond Super Saiyan?"

This seemed like an unbelievable thing, but because his Vegeta father seemed so resolute, he couldn't say anything more.

Seeing the incredulous expressions on everyone's faces, Vegeta continued, "Yes, surpassing Super Saiyan, I believe Goku must also be planning that!"

Looking at the expression and determination in Vegeta's eyes, Krillin could sense the immense willpower in him. After carefully considering their talents, he thought, "Maybe it really is possible. However, the problem at hand is that we must first eliminate Cell."

However, after carefully searching for Cell's presence, just as expected, they found nothing.

Even the Kami within Piccolo was helpless after Cell suppressed his aura.

Just then, Li Xiuyuan, who had been silently observing the situation from Turtle Island, had an idea: "Excitedly, interesting!"

Seeing Li Xiuyuan burst into laughter for no apparent reason, Bulma thought he had gone mad. She quickly ran over and touched Li Xiuyuan's forehead, then touched her own, finding no significant difference. Staring blankly at Li Xiuyuan, she asked, "Xiuyuan, are you alright?!"

Li Xiuyuan was also completely bewildered by Bulma's sudden and quirky behavior.

"What could possibly be wrong with me!" Li Xiuyuan said, as if recalling his earlier loss of composure.

So he called back Gohan, because he was going to do something hard to believe: train Gohan, who had inherited Kakarot's bloodline.

Because Li Xiuyuan could see through his own observations that Gohan's potential was absolutely extraordinary, not inferior to Kakarot at all.

So, Gohan, who originally wanted to go and help, had no choice but to return to Kame-no-Shima Island after receiving instructions from Lee Xiu-yuan.

Although this was hard to bear, it made Gohan, who was already feeling depressed, sulk.

Seeing Gohan pouting, Li Xiuyuan knew what the little guy was thinking, so he said to Gohan, "Do you believe me?"

Looking at Li Xiuyuan, he only said one simple sentence.

For some reason, Gohan had a voice in his heart telling him to believe in Li Xiuyuan.

This is due to Li Xiuyuan's extraordinary charisma and superior strength. Therefore, Gohan began the same grueling, devilish training that Goku and Vegeta had undergone.

Seeing that the kid agreed without hesitation, Li Xiuyuan smiled at Gohan's future.

As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. Li Xiuyuan believed that he could make Gohan do in a short time what others could not do in a lifetime.

This is not just Li Xiuyuan's confidence, arrogance, and domineering nature, but also his lofty ambition to create something unprecedented and unparalleled.

So Gohan was ruthlessly thrown into the Pangu Palace. In order to accomplish this great task and elevate Gohan, who was only at the Golden Immortal Perfection stage, to the Hunyuan Daluo Scattered Immortal stage, Li Xiuyuan decided to guide him at all times.

So the once bustling Kame Island is now only occupied by Master Roshi, Bulma, Launch, and that old turtle.

Originally, the two women were reluctant to see Li Xiuyuan act this way, but seeing Li Xiuyuan's tone, the two smart women knew that they shouldn't be willful at this time.

Because they know that once Li Xiuyuan makes a decision, they must support him. Since Li Xiuyuan will do it regardless of whether they want to or not, why not just let go and let nature take its course? That's what women around Li Xiuyuan should do.

Meanwhile, Klin, following Trunks, finally arrived at a desolate wilderness thanks to the machine's detection system.

Trunks looked at the machine and said, "This seems to be the location where Dr. Gro discovered Cell's underground research facility."

But looking at the bewildered Krillin, he said, "There's nothing here!?"

That was indeed the case, because the place they were standing in was just a barren, rocky area, which made Klin suspect that there might be something wrong with the machine.

However, Trunks truly believed that the detector indicated this, so he said, "No rush! There must be something here that we haven't discovered yet."

He then told Klin to move aside, and seeing Trunks take a breath, he threw out hundreds of small gas bombs in a flurry.

The original gravel surface here was leveled.

After nearly a hundred bombardments, the two finally discovered the entrance to what appeared to be a research institute in a seemingly hidden location.

It was a small cave that stretched downwards, and then steps led down to an entrance dozens of meters below.

Trunks seemed to sense something similar to Cell, so he called out, "Krillin, come with me!"

He jumped down, and the two of them soon appeared underground.

This is an underground cave that looks small from the outside, but feels bigger and bigger as you go deeper.

After searching the vast underground base, Trunks and Klin finally found the so-called large computer.

Look at this, which is the control center of this research institute, a large computer.

In addition, there was a large, long cylinder filled with green liquid, and the aura emanating from it was exactly the same as that on Cell, as if it had been cut from the same place.

Looking at the enormous project, Krillin said, "This must be where Cell was discovered, right?"

Trunks: "That should be it."

Now that we've come this far, we won't leave easily.

So both of them were still searching for any valuable clues.

Unfortunately, Krillin found nothing, and then tried to pull Trunks away to destroy the base.

However, Trunks stopped him.

Chapter 787 A Clash of Fate

Just then, a design blueprint that looked like an android was placed on the control center's desktop and came into Trunks' view.

"Number 17." This is the design blueprint for Android 17.

Trunks, as if he had discovered something valuable, said to Krillin, "We can take this back to Bulma for her to study, and then we'll know exactly what Android 17's weakness is!"

Krillin, who found the idea quite reasonable, happily exclaimed, "That's fantastic!"

Aside from that, the two continued their careful search but found no other useful clues.

Before leaving, they gathered dozens of gas bombs inside the base and destroyed all the facilities and structures there.

Back on the ground, he still wasn't satisfied. Krillin felt that in order to prevent this place from harming people again, so he gathered a giant energy circle and threw it into the entrance.

As the Yuan Qi Slash penetrated deeper, shortly after the two flew away, a loud explosion erupted from the entrance they had just entered.

Like a volcanic eruption, countless plumes of smoke and fire burst forth from the hidden entrance.

Trunks and Krillin finally returned home satisfied, and the two immediately flew back to Master Roshi's House.

The two, who had happily received the design blueprints, saw Bulma at Master Roshi's house but not Gohan or Lee Soo-yuan, and asked, "Where did they go?"

Bulma said casually, seemingly annoyed, "That big jerk took Gohan to train. All he does is train all day long, he doesn't have time for me at all!" At this moment, Bulma seemed like a shrew, but neither of them dared to say anything.

I'm the one who needs their help right now.

Lanqi, who was standing nearby, could tell that something must have happened between the two, so she nudged Bulma and said, "Don't mind her. She's just too eager to cultivate her destiny."

"Who wants to think about that jerk? I don't want to!" Bulma said haughtily, but her expression betrayed her.

Trunks and Krillin quickly flattered, "Yes, yes, yes! Our Miss Bulma is so beautiful, lovely, generous, and intelligent!"

As soon as he finished speaking, seeing a smile appear on Bulma's face, Trunks immediately took out the design blueprints for Android 17 that he had just obtained from the research lab and said, "Beautiful lady, could you take a look at this for me?"

"What is this?!" Bulma asked, seemingly uninterested.

Klin: "This is a design blueprint that might reveal the flaws in Number Seventeen. We know how intelligent you are, so we'd like you to take a look and study it!"

Bulma, who had initially shown no reaction, immediately became interested upon hearing that the weaknesses of the android who was threatening the world could be discovered.

She realized that the reason Xiu Yuan left her to train with Gohan was because of this annoying android! So she thought that if she could help them discover Android 17's weaknesses, maybe Xiu Yuan wouldn't need to train with Gohan anymore and could come back to stay with them.

With this in mind, Bulma's interest was naturally piqued.

However, it seems that ever since Bulma became Li Xiuyuan's woman, she has been obsessed with Li Xiuyuan, constantly talking about him and ignoring him completely.

Bulma snatched the blueprints from Trunks's hand and said, "I'll study them and give you an answer soon."

After saying that, he took the blueprints and plunged into the studio!

However, for Bulma, this truly proves the saying: "If you're going to do something, do it to the best of your ability."

Bulma, who was not excited at first, exclaimed in surprise after seeing the design: "It's such a pity. Dr. Gro is simply a genius. If he could be put to good use, his potential would be immeasurable."

Trunks, hearing that Bulma seemed to have discovered something, asked, "What's wrong?"

Bulma, holding the blueprints, said, "The only thing Dr. Grove modified was the organic material. It's indeed possible to create it successfully. If you don't look closely, you won't notice there's a chip inside Number Seventeen's body! That should be the key!"

Thus, in the presence of this brilliant inventor, Android 17's weakness was discovered.

After informing Klin, the two praised him once again, saying, "You are simply amazing! The greatest inventor in the world!"

Having discovered the problem, Bulma reverted to her absent-minded demeanor, tossing the blueprints aside with a disdainful look. Her thoughts began to drift back to Li Xiuyuan, the man she longed for day and night.

The world is neither too big nor too small.

While Vegeta and Piccolo were searching for Cell, they encountered Android 17 and others who were searching for Goku.

Vegeta's eyes immediately lit up. His purpose in coming here was to deal with this annoying Android 18. Thinking of how he was beaten up back then, he was filled with rage!

"It's true what they say, enemies always meet!" Android 17 had also seen the two of them, so she glanced at Vegeta and Piccolo, whom she had defeated, with disdain.
