High above, tens of thousands of meters in the sky, a massive, floating temple drifted there.
Compared to its former size, the temple had expanded over a hundredfold, now adorned with numerous pavilions, towers, pools, and waterside pavilions, resembling a heavenly paradise floating in the clouds.
Groups of female soldiers in uniform continuously patrolled the area, and from above, many Red Silk Girls and soldiers could be seen training in the grounds below.
Meanwhile, in the center of the temple's skies—
Boom! Boom! Boom, boom, boom!
Explosive sounds reverberated through the heavens as several figures clashed fiercely in mid-air.
They were Yuujin, Goku, and Chi-Chi!
At this moment, however, Goku and Chi-Chi were not alone; there were actually four of them, as both were using the [Yin-Yang Fist] developed by Yuujin.
Two Gokus and two Chi-Chis attacked Yuujin together, also using [Kaio-Ken], shrouded in a fiery red aura.
Their intense aerial battle created chaotic air currents and flames bursting everywhere, as if they were about to tear the sky apart. Yuujin, battling against two Gokus and two Chi-Chis, was visibly struggling until he shouted and split himself into two.
"It's over!"
With a swift separation, Yin Yuujin and Yang Yuujin simultaneously struck down the two Gokus and two Chi-Chis, finally ending the battle.
"Are you two okay, Goku, Chi-Chi?"
Reuniting into one and slightly breathless, Yuujin descended and helped the groaning Goku and Chi-Chi up from the ground.
"Yuujin, you cheated!"
"Yeah, totally!"
Rubbing their bruised behinds, Goku and Chi-Chi pouted angrily.
"Oh, you cheeky girls—teaming up against me and then calling me a cheater!"
Giving each of them a flick on the forehead, Yuujin spoke, feigning irritation.
At that moment, a group of young maidservants who had been standing by came over—
"You've worked hard training, Lord Yuujin, Lord Goku, Lord Chi-Chi."
After bowing respectfully, the maids busied themselves, first helping Yuujin and the others wipe their sweat and then changing their clothes.
"Suno, Mei Zhen, you both look adorable today."
Gently patting the foreheads of the two maids attending to him, Yuujin smiled.
Suno had lovely red hair, while Mei Zhen had beautiful blue hair, and both were adorably sweet. Complimented by their master, the two maids blushed with shy happiness.
Incidentally, this Suno was the same girl Yuujin encountered years ago in Casrun City when he went to defeat Demon King Piccolo. Eight years had passed, and little Suno had blossomed into a beautiful young woman, now serving as one of Yuujin's personal maids.
Having witnessed Yuujin's defeat of Demon King Piccolo and his saving of the world, young Suno had been deeply grateful and admiring of him. After Princess Snake returned her to her hometown, Suno had always strived hard, hoping to meet Lord Yuujin again one day.
However, Suno lacked talent in martial arts and couldn't become one of the revered Red Silk Girls, nor did she possess any special abilities that would allow her entry into the [Shenron Imperial Academy] to serve Lord Yuujin in the future.
Still, Suno's pure heart, kindness, and diligence enabled her to pass the [Holy Maid Academy] examination and join its ranks. After years of training there, she graduated with distinction and finally had the honor of serving Lord Yuujin.
As for Mei Zhen, her story was similar to Suno's. In fact, all the young maids within the temple held deep admiration and reverence for Yuujin, passing numerous examinations to enter the Maid Academy, where they trained for several years before finally earning the opportunity to serve Yuujin.
Among all the maids, Suno and Mei Zhen were especially favored by Yuujin.
"Lord Yuujin, Lady Bulma asked that you visit the lab once you're done with training."
After helping Yuujin change his clothes, Suno spoke up.
Acknowledging her message, Yuujin called for Goku and Chi-Chi, and they all headed together toward the lab.
The current temple could be considered a veritable sky fortress. Yuujin, Bulma, and the others rarely returned to Earth, residing here most of the time. Hundreds of Red Silk Girls, soldiers, and researchers also lived here permanently, making the population exceed one hundred thousand and effectively turning it into a floating city.
However, among everyone in the fortress temple, Yuujin was the only male resident; even Mr. Popo had moved to the lower world's Korin Tower with Master Korin after the temple's expansion.
After passing through many corridors, Yuujin and the others finally reached a laboratory inside the temple, where several beautiful female researchers were busy, including Bulma, dressed in her white lab coat.
"Bulma, have the inspection results come out yet?"
Hugging Bulma by the waist, Yuujin kissed her lips and asked.
Although Bulma was nearing thirty, thanks to a wish Yuujin once made to Shenron, she still looked as youthful and beautiful as ever, with an added maturity in her aura.
"Here are the genetic test results for you and Goku. Take a look."
Handing the reports to Yuujin, Bulma said.
Flipping through a few pages casually, Yuujin lost interest and settled onto the sofa with Bulma in his arms.
"You know, aside from training, I'm clueless about these things. Why don't you explain it to me?"
With a dignified tone, Yuujin spoke. Bulma rolled her eyes at him, yet she began explaining:
"After the inspection, it's clear that there's a distinct segment in your and Goku's genes that differs from Earth humans'."
"We tested this segment through tens of thousands of methods and discovered that it seems to contain a tremendous energy. If we could unlock this gene segment, it might be possible for you and Goku to achieve the transformation you spoke of, allowing you to become legendary Super Saiyans."
Though a genius scientist mainly specializing in machinery, Bulma had studied various other fields over the years to better support Yuujin. While not yet on par with her mechanical expertise, she was far more knowledgeable than typical experts in these areas.
With his powers constantly growing, Yuujin had begun considering the possibility of him and Goku becoming Super Saiyans. Recently, he had tasked Bulma with a project to analyze their genetic profiles, hoping to gain insights that would help them achieve this transformation.
