After making their wish with the Dragon Balls of the new Planet Namek, Lin Chen and the others said goodbye to the Namekians and returned to Earth.
As soon as they arrived on Lookout, everyone shouted out in surprise.
“Gohan!”
“Krillin! Tien Shinhan! Yamcha!”
“Vegeta! Trunks, that’s your dad!”
Seeing long-lost friends and family suddenly appear in front of them, everyone couldn’t help but get emotional and excitedly rush forward.
“Mom, you’ve aged!” Gohan hugged Chichi, tears streaming down his face.
Years have passed, but Gohan still looked like a young man while Chichi’s hair had already turned white.
“Master Roshi!”
Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and Yamcha all deeply bowed to the Turtle Hermit, who smiled and nodded.
“18…” Krillin glanced over at Lazuli on the side, his mind filled with various emotions.
Compared to that, Lazuli merely gave a nod, causing Krillin to sigh.
On the other side, Trunks shyly stood in front of Vegeta. Although he met Vegeta when he was young, he has no memories of it. The father in front of him now felt unfamiliar to him.
Vegeta snorted and said, “You’ve done well. I’ve been watching you from the Other World all these years. I am proud of you!”
Vegeta was already aware that Trunks could also transform into a Super Saiyan 2, though he had accomplished it many years later than Gohan. But Vegeta was already quite satisfied and only the pride of being a Saiyan prince prevented him from easily showing his emotions.
“Yes!”
Trunks’ face lit up with excitement. This was the first time in his life that he had received praise from his father. He couldn’t help but feel like crying.
“Don’t cry! You have the blood of a Saiyan! Saiyans do not cry easily!”
“Yes!”
“Trunks! Look, this is the Trunks from the future that I told you about. Oh, by the way, aren’t the two of you the same age now?”
At this moment, Bulma affectionately hooked her arm with another Trunks and walked over. The two Trunks looked at each other with widened eyes, and besides the length of hair, the two of them looked almost identical.
Vegeta walked over to Lin Chen after looking at his two sons.
Upon seeing this, the other resurrected Z-warriors also temporarily put down their conversations with others and walked over to Lin Chen.
“Mr. Lin Chen, thank you very much,” they said together politely.
Lin Chen nodded with a smile: “No need to be polite, you should have already heard about the situation from King Kai, right?”
“Yes,” the newly resurrected people nodded.
“Since you all know, then I’ll just say it straight. Cell was already stronger than you back then. Now more than a decade has passed, his power is likely even more beyond imagination. If you want to seek revenge, you must work hard to train in the remaining time!”
“Excuse me, Mr. Lin Chen!” Gohan raised his hand: “Do you know when Cell will come back?”
“Sorry, King Kai doesn’t know that either,” Lin Chen shook his head.
“Why not ask Shenron?” suggested a small Namekian as he emerged from Lookout and spoke to Lin Chen.
Krillin and Son Gohan excitedly ran over upon seeing him. “Dende! You got resurrected too!”
“Yes!”
After exchanging greetings, Krillin asked, “Dende, what did you just say? Ask Shenron?”
“Yes,” Dende nodded. “I have heard from Mr. Popo that the Earth is still not safe, so it is not suitable to resurrect everyone, so Shenron is temporarily of no use. But we can make a wish and ask Shenron about Cell’s return time to Earth.”
“Won’t that be a waste?” Gohan asked skeptically.
“No,” Dende shook his head. “Shenron can grant two wishes. If only one is granted, we just need to wait for half a year to make another wish.”
“Let’s do it then!” Lin Chen said. “Let’s determine Cell’s return time as soon as possible so that everyone can prepare accordingly.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, following Lin Chen’s lead.
Soon, Mr. Popo brought out the dragon balls that he had protected for over a decade.
With Dende’s revival, the dragon balls had regained their original form from stone.
Moments later, the majestic cyan dragon appeared above Lookout.
Dende asked, “Shenron, can you tell us how long until Cell returns to Earth?”
“Thy wish is simple, there are 25920000 seconds until Cell returns to Earth.”
Half of the people present were dazed at the news.
Gohan shouted, “Shenron, can you put it another way?”
“About 10 months.”
10 months!
Hearing this, everyone’s faces suddenly turned grave.
So, there were still 10 months left before the final battle?
This time is neither long nor short.
“Everyone, 10 months from now is our time for revenge. Let’s go!”
Amidst the silence, Trunks was the first to break the calm.
With his encouragement, everyone snapped out of it and nodded their heads in unison.
10 months later, will the Z-warriors of Earth be able to reclaim their honor or will they be sent back to the Other World by Cell once again?
It all depends on whether they can surpass their limits in these 10 months.
So, in the upcoming time, the revived Z-warriors quickly began a life-and-death training.
Although many of them wanted to spend more time with their families and friends, the countdown of 10 months, like the sword of Damocles, was hanging over their heads, making them dare not to slack off.
Fortunately, with the Hyperbolic Time Chamber at their disposal, the time they have for training is actually not limited to just 10 months.
Vegeta, Future Trunks, Gohan, and Piccolo have already entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for a day, so they can enter it again for another day of training, which is equivalent to one year. Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, and Android 18, on the other hand, have never been in the Chamber, so their training time is a whopping two years.
And this time, they also have Lin Chen as a special teacher.
For Vegeta and Future Trunks, Lin Chen directly asked Trunks to teach them the way to break through the limits of Super Saiyan.
Lin Chen has already taught these things to Trunks in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for two years, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
As for Piccolo and others, Lin Chen’s plan for them is to have them learn Kaio-ken.
Although they have been to Kai’s Planet in this world, they have never learned the Kaio-ken.
For those who can’t transform into Super Saiyan, it seems absurd to Lin Chen that they wouldn’t learn this useful technique.
So Lin Chen’s plan for them is to first learn the Kaio-ken and then practice the basics.
As for Gohan and 18, the former is already strong and just needs to continue refining his foundation.
The latter is an Android and can’t learn Kaio-ken, but having a body with unlimited stamina, it gives her unlimited potential.
In the past, 18 was too busy protecting the rebel army to train properly, but now that she has time, as long as she focuses and trains hard, her improvement in strength will be effortless and without any obstacles.
