In an instant, Neo clearly felt his body growing stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye. The muscles and fat on his body all became firm, and his slightly bulging beer belly revealed an eight-pack of abs. Even his somewhat nearsighted eyes became exceptionally clear, and for a moment, he felt refreshed.
At this moment, he had truly synchronized completely with Son Goku's everything—physical fitness, combat power, and even the Saiyan bloodline. Neo had successfully transformed from an ordinary human into a pure-blooded Saiyan, except that he did not grow a tail, which made him quite similar to the Saiyans of Universe 6.
This actually made Neo a bit curious: "System, since everything about Son Goku was synchronized, why didn't I grow a tail?"
"This system only bestows the host with the abilities and bloodline of the bound character, but will not synchronize their appearance. For example, if the host binds with Majin Buu, you will only obtain his combat power, abilities, and immortality, and will not inherit Majin Buu's appearance."
"Hmm, reasonable." Hearing this, Neo nodded and no longer dwelled on the matter. Anyway, as long as Son Goku could transform into Super Saiyan 4, whether he had a tail or not, he could still transform into Super Saiyan 4 just the same. He clenched his fists, felt the strength of his own physical body, and was full of excitement: "With this bronze skin and iron bones, bullets wouldn't even be able to pierce through it!"
Just as Neo was marveling, a strong wave of body odor washed over him, causing him to instinctively cover his nose. Only then did he realize that his entire body had become filthy.
"It seems that after acquiring Son Goku's physical fitness, my frail body was strengthened, achieving an effect akin to cleansing the marrow and washing the tendons, and the impurities in my body were all expelled."
Neo immediately got up, shook Son Goku, and asked: "Son Goku, I've been climbing the mountain all day and I'm covered in sweat. Is there a place to take a bath around here?"
Son Goku, who had just fallen asleep, was immediately shaken awake. In a daze, he twitched his nose and mumbled: "What is a bath?" As he spoke, he was suddenly startled, clutched his nose, and jumped up: "Wa~ So smelly! Your body is so dirty!"
Saying that, Son Goku already performed a backflip off the bed, distancing himself from Neo...
"Is it really that smelly?" Neo was speechless, looking at Son Goku and saying: "Aren't you smelly too? You probably haven't taken a bath in a long time either!"
"What is a bath?" Son Goku asked again.
Sigh~ What a pitiful kid, with no one to take care of him, he doesn't even know what a bath is.
Neo immediately explained: "It's just finding a place with water to wash your body."
"Ah~ You're looking for a pool of water! I'll take you." As Son Goku said this, he had already run out the door.
Neo hurriedly followed. Seeing that Son Goku was about to disappear from sight with a few leaps, he quickly accelerated and bounded after him, suddenly feeling as light as a swallow. Jumping a dozen meters was effortless, and his heart was simply thrilled! This system was truly amazing, turning him into a superman with a single leap.
Seeing that Neo could actually keep up with his speed, Son Goku couldn't help but pick up the pace, running down along the mountain path...
Seeing this, Neo also accelerated to keep up. Because his abilities were synchronized with Son Goku, the two were evenly matched in strength, and their speed was naturally the same. Running all the way, the two maintained the exact same pace...
Soon, the two arrived at a waterfall together.
Son Goku looked at Neo with a face full of admiration: "You're amazing! Jiang, Jiang what was it again?"
"Neo. I'm older than you, so if you don't mind, call me Big Brother Jiang!"
"Okay, Big Brother Jiang! You really are amazing! Your speed isn't slower than mine at all, your martial arts must be very strong too, right?"
Looking at Son Goku's eager and raring-to-go expression, Neo figured he was going to take a bath later anyway, so why not spar with him to get familiar with his current strength.
"If you're interested, the two of us can spar for a bit, but let's agree to keep it friendly."
"Haha~~ Great! Come on!" Hearing this, Son Goku immediately put on a happy face and assumed an offensive starting stance.
"Please advise!" After exchanging a polite remark, Neo tapped his feet and rushed toward Son Goku. The two immediately exchanged blows with fists and feet, clashing fiercely. It could truly be called punch to flesh, powerful and heavy.
The battle between the big one and the small one was like two mirror images fighting each other, and neither could do anything to the other. By the end of the fight, both of them were panting heavily from exhaustion.
"Let's stop fighting! Let's stop fighting! Let's call it a draw!" Neo hurriedly waved his hands and plopped down onto the ground, panting heavily. At the same time, his heart was filled with excitement and thrill—after all, not long ago he was just a weakling otaku, and now he could actually go toe-to-toe with Son Goku without falling behind.
At this point, Son Goku was also so tired that he collapsed onto the ground, looking at Neo with a happy face: "You really are amazing! Big Brother Jiang, besides my grandpa, you're the strongest person I've ever met!"
Hearing this, Neo couldn't help but mentally retort: "Up until now, you've probably only ever seen your grandpa, right!"
After resting for a moment and recovering a good deal of stamina, Neo casually took off his vest and hung it on a nearby tree branch.
Seeing this, Son Goku also stripped off all his clothes and plunged headfirst into the water pool...
After washing clean, Neo suddenly felt a wave of hunger wash over him. It seemed that the sparring session with Son Goku earlier had consumed a tremendous amount of energy, making him feel incomparably hungry. Just as he was thinking of finding something to eat, he saw Son Goku dive headfirst into the water. A moment later, with a bang, a huge fish weighing over a hundred pounds broke through the water surface and slammed onto the riverbank with a loud thud.
It turned out that Son Goku had punched that large fish right out of the water.
Looking at the unknown large fish on the bank, Neo wore a look of utter astonishment, instinctively leaping out of the pool onto the shore: "Th-This pool actually has such a huge fish? This Dragon Ball World is truly unreasonably overpowered!"
Son Goku lifted the huge fish weighing over a hundred pounds, skillfully removed its internal organs, washed it clean, impaled it on a tree branch, lit a fire, and started roasting the fish right on the spot. It seemed he was hungry too.
Unfortunately, there were no seasonings, so it was just plain roasted. However, the fish meat was surprisingly delicious and not bad at all. The huge fish weighing over a hundred pounds was gnawed completely clean by Neo and Son Goku in a short moment.
Looking at the massive fish skeleton in front of him, Neo inwardly thought it was bad—he seemed to have also turned into a big eater. How much money would this meal cost! His future living situation looked worrisome!
Having had a sparring match and eating a meal of roasted fish together, the relationship between Neo and Son Goku had grown much closer, and they could now be considered familiar with each other.
With their bellies full and having had enough to drink, the two returned to the house and slept soundly.
The next day, Neo was awakened by the 'he-ha' sounds made by Son Goku outside the house. Looking through the window, he happened to see Son Goku toss a section of a tree stump into the air, and then deliver an aerial kick that shattered the stump into countless pieces scattered all over the ground.
Then Son Goku wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "The firewood is all chopped~" Saying this, he rubbed his stomach again: "So hungry!"
Saying that, he picked up the chopped firewood, piled it together, and seeing Neo by the window, wore a happy face: "Big Brother Jiang, you're awake! I was just thinking of going hunting, do you want to come along?"
"Let's go!" Neo put on a pair of Gohan's shoes and walked out the door.
