Dragon Ball: Refusal to Return to Planet Vegeta at the Start

Chapter 55 Return to Earth

"Yes, it's me!"

Seeing the doubt and uncertainty in Ella's expression, Rhodes couldn't help but laugh and confirm with her.

Although the two were both cultivating on the planet Adelaide, they were at different stages of cultivation and had different mentors. As a result, they hadn't seen each other many times over the past year.

At most, they would only sense each other's presence during their spare time, and once they confirmed it, they would no longer pay much attention to it and would immerse themselves in their own cultivation.

In addition, Rhodes was learning magic from Pibala, and Ella was strengthening her basic training under Hazka's guidance. They were not in the same place, and because of this, Ella was unaware of the changes that had occurred to Rhodes.

Upon receiving Rhodes's affirmation, Ella couldn't help but show surprise in her eyes.

After a year apart, she was surprised to find that Rod had grown up so much, which greatly exceeded her expectations.

However, as Ella looked at Rhodes, a thoughtful expression crossed her face, and then she suddenly realized: "The reason for the Time Chamber?"

After all, only a year has passed, and Rhodes could not possibly grow up directly. Only the difference in time between the inside and outside of the Time Chamber could cause this situation to occur.

"Um"

In response to Ella's question, Rod smiled and nodded.

Having received Rhodes's acknowledgment, and looking at the figure in front of her who was almost twice her height, and seeing that face that had grown up, Ella felt a sense of novelty, and at the same time, a faint sense of urgency in her heart.

Rhodes has become stronger!

Through training, Ella's control over her own power has greatly improved, and her perception has also made significant progress.

However, even though Rhodes was standing right in front of her, Ella was still unable to truly sense his true strength.

It was clear that Rhodes was far stronger than her, which made Ella a little jealous.

I must also grow rapidly! Both in terms of strength and physique.

Time Chamber?

Thinking about how Rhodes grew up and became stronger because of the Time Chamber, Ella couldn't help but wonder: should she also learn from him?

As she pondered, Ella had already made up her mind. She looked at Rhodes, vaguely guessing his purpose: "What brings you here?"

"Ella, my training is finished, and I plan to leave now!"

Seeing the expression on Ella's face, Rhode knew that she had guessed the general idea, so he did not hesitate and simply stated his plan.

Hearing Rhodes's predictable decision, Ella's eyes flickered, but she didn't react much, remaining quite calm: "Oh, really? Where are you going?"

"Earth, as I mentioned before. I might live there for a while first, research some things, and then challenge stronger opponents to hone my skills and increase my power!"

Rhodes didn't hide anything from Ella, after all, she was one of the few people close to him in this world.

"Alright, you can go now. My training isn't over yet. I'll meet up with you after I finish."

When Rhodes wanted to leave, Ella naturally wouldn't stop him. She only blamed herself for her slow progress in cultivation, which made her unable to keep up with him.

Seeing Ella's calm demeanor, Rhodes nodded and gave her some instructions:

"Yes, you should patiently cultivate here. Sharpening your axe won't delay your work. Laying a solid foundation will allow your subsequent cultivation to progress by leaps and bounds!"

"If you need anything, use Super Teleport to find me. I'm off."

After saying this, Rhodes vanished from Ella's sight in a flash.

"The Time Chamber?"

Looking at the place where Rhodes was no longer there, and thinking about the strength she couldn't see through and the fact that he had grown up, Ella couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

However, since both of them were teenagers, their strength growth was relatively slow. Even though Ella was slightly weaker than Rod, she was still able to keep up.

But now Rhodes has grown up and entered a period of rapid growth. If I continue at my current pace, I will fall far behind him.

This is something Ella absolutely cannot accept!

With this thought in mind, Ella vanished from the planet Adela.

When it reappeared, it once again came to the residence of the Namekian Grand Elder.

She wants to find the Dragon Balls and make a wish for the same Time Chamber.

Since it's impossible to catch up with Rhodes under the same conditions, then by taking advantage of the time difference in the Time Chamber and putting in more time and effort, there's always hope of surpassing Rhodes one day.

Without mentioning that Ella went to Namek to find the Elder to collect the Dragon Balls and make a wish, Rod, after giving Ella his instructions, said goodbye to Hazka and Elder Pibara and returned directly to Earth.

Swish!

In an instant, Rhodes traversed a distant galaxy and appeared on Earth, right in front of a tiny figure.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, in front of Rhodes was a little girl with blue hair, styled in twin ponytails, holding a strangely shaped gun, glaring at him menacingly.

The little one was none other than Bulma, who was playing in the yard.

However, as Bulma remained wary of Rhodes, a hint of doubt flickered in her large, bright eyes.

Because Bulma felt a sense of familiarity with the person in front of her, who resembled Rhodes, who had run off to space.

But Rod was just a kid a few years older than him, while the guy in front of him was a real adult.

"Wow! You've upgraded from a toy gun to a real one?"

Looking at the adorable, earnest-looking Bulma, Rod couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair, teasing her with a smile.

"You jerk! Stop touching my hair!!!"

After having her head rubbed by Rhodes and hearing those familiar words, Bulma knew exactly who was in front of her.

Having escaped Rod's clutches, Bulma ran to a distance and stood there, looking at him curiously with eyes full of surprise and disbelief: "You're Rod? How come you've grown so much in just one year?"

Looking at the lively and adorable little guy, Rhodes gestured as he explained in a somewhat exaggerated tone, "This is a characteristic of our race. Given time, we can grow into adults in the blink of an eye!"

"Is that so?"

Hearing Rhodes' words, little Bulma's face was filled with shock, but then she pouted, noticing the smile hidden in Rhodes' eyes: "Hmph! I don't believe you, you're definitely lying to me!"

Where?

Faced with Bulma's questioning, Rhodes smiled defiantly, then his gaze fell on the gun in her hand: "You're so young, isn't it dangerous for you to hold this thing?"

But this time, what Bulma was holding was no longer the toy she had been holding before, but a real gun, and not just any kinetic firearm, but a uniquely designed energy gun.

"What danger could there be? I made it!"

Upon hearing Rhodes' words, Bulma rolled her eyes at him, pursed her lips, and looked at him like he was a country bumpkin.

Although the little one looked disdainful, she was so small and pretty that adults could only find her cute and not repulsive.
