Korin looked at Krillin as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he kept it in.

Krillin chuckled. "There's no need for that now, Korin. I'm heading to the Sacred Temple first." With that, Krillin leaped out of Korin Tower and flew upward.

Although the Sacred Temple was still some distance from Korin Tower, it was nothing to Krillin. As he rose higher, the air grew thinner, and even the clouds became scarce.

Krillin spotted the hemispherical structure. It looked ancient, carrying an even greater sense of history than Korin Tower. Krillin sped up and landed atop the Sacred Temple with a leap.

Kami and Bobo stood there, waiting for Krillin.

Krillin walked over and slowly examined Kami and Bobo from up close. Kami looked roughly the same as King Piccolo. The difference was that Kami wore a cape and robe, had the character "Kami" on his chest, and held a staff, while Piccolo had the character "Demon" on his chest. Hmm? It seemed Namekians really liked wearing capes.

Bobo looked more like a shrunken ape, though he had a bit more of a human air about him.

"Kami, Bobo, hello!" Krillin greeted them politely.

Kami stared at Krillin for a long time before saying, "Your battle with King Piccolo was truly splendid. I am glad that such a powerful martial artist has emerged among humanity. But why didn't you kill King Piccolo?"

"Newborn Piccolo may be somewhat evil, but he is no Demon King. He is no longer truly part of the Demon Clan. On the contrary, I think Piccolo will become a warrior who protects Earth in the future. Heh, if Earth is gone, how could Piccolo conquer the world?"

"Besides, if Piccolo dies, wouldn't you disappear too, Kami? The world needs you."

Kami looked somewhat saddened and murmured, "Although I have noticed that the evil in Piccolo's heart has diminished somewhat, can he truly become a warrior who protects Earth?"

He definitely can. Since Newborn Piccolo was born, his goal has been to defeat Goku. He has never even left Cloud Sea Highland, let alone done evil. Then Piccolo witnessed the friendship between Goku and his companions, as well as the mutual respect between Goku and himself. Little by little, Piccolo himself was changed, Krillin thought silently.

Kami looked at Krillin and said, "I already know why you have come. You wish to make up for the shortcomings in your Martial Way. From here on, let Bobo teach you."

"Alright, Kami," Bobo replied.

Krillin did not dare underestimate Bobo. Bobo had existed since Earth's first Kami. "I'll be troubling you, Bobo," Krillin said gratefully.

"It is no trouble. Please follow me!"

The two soon arrived at an open area, and Krillin began his training journey at the Sacred Temple.

"The air at the Sacred Temple is rather thin, so you must first adapt to it gradually. You are fairly strong, so you will also need to wear this ten-times Weighted Clothing." As he spoke, Bobo took out a set of Weighted Clothing for Krillin to put on.

"It's quite heavy." Combined with the thin air, beads of sweat immediately appeared on Krillin's forehead. After putting it on, he had to keep his Ki raised at all times. If he relaxed even slightly, the gravity would crush him to the ground.

"You need to understand: 'Be as still as the sky, as swift as lightning!'"...

Time flew by, and a month passed.

"Ha... hey..." Krillin was throwing punches, his Ki calm and restrained. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, stopped, and opened the system panel.

Battle Power: 1450 Potential: 50 Energy: 52 Training Speed: Supersonic (35 days) Usable Energy: 2252

Krillin had made tremendous progress these past few days. His control over Ki had reached perfection, and his Battle Power was nearing its limit. Haha, everything was falling into place.

"Krillin, you've improved greatly. You adapted to ten times gravity so quickly." Bobo walked over.

Sweating inwardly, Krillin thought, Actually, I adapted in seven days. I was only accumulating time. Goku adapted to one hundred times gravity in five days. I'm nowhere near that!

This was faster than he had expected. He had originally planned to reach his limit in two months, but under gravity training, he was close to reaching it in just over a month. It was time to ask Dr. Brief to customize one for him. Gravity training was simply amazing.

As a Namekian, although Kami had lost his memories, he had not forgotten certain training techniques. Meditation, as the name implied, meant imagining a powerful enemy in one's mind and fighting them mentally. One could also form spiritual links with companions to simulate battles. In the original story, Krillin and Gohan trained through meditation on their journey to Planet Namek.

Piccolo was originally a Namekian. Piccolo's training method was meditation. In my memories, Piccolo seemed to train through meditation all the time, Krillin thought.

Meditation could not only improve Battle Power through training, but also strengthen Spiritual Power. Spiritual Power was a mysterious thing. Those with strong Spiritual Power often noticed subtle details, possessed greater comprehension, and learned faster. Once one's spirit reached a certain level, one might gain supernatural abilities. For example, the Great Elder could examine Krillin's memories merely by touching his head, and so could Goku.

It was better to wait until he broke through the first limit before learning the Meditation Method. Trying to do too much would only lead to poor results!

Krillin sat quietly in the Sacred Temple, looking just like an old monk cultivating in his previous life, seated cross-legged with his palms facing upward. Kami thought it looked lofty and profound, while Krillin felt he was merely putting on a show for the sake of breaking through.

Beep beep beep beep, time flowed on...

A mysterious smile appeared on Krillin's lips. "It's time!" He checked his attributes.

Battle Power: 1500 (Limit reached, breakthrough available) Potential: 0 Energy: 52 Training Speed: Supersonic (30 days) Usable Energy: 2252

"Ding! Host has reached the Earthling Limit and may choose to break through. Hehe, but it will cost 100,000 Energy!"

"Why don't you just rob me, you ****!"

"After all, breaking through the limits of humanity is no small matter. As I said before, everything must conform to the law of Conservation of Energy! Oh, right, I forgot you studied liberal arts." The system was as punchable as ever.

With no other choice, Krillin gritted his teeth and took out 200 Senzu Beans from his clothes. With a pained expression, he said, "Here, take them. Choose breakthrough."

"It is recommended that the host choose a relatively quiet place for the breakthrough. After all, a breakthrough is of great importance."

"Fine! Whatever you say, I'll listen. Kami, I'm heading out for a bit to practice a new move. There isn't enough room to use it here."

Kami nodded slightly.

Krillin used the Flight Technique and flew toward the western wilderness. As he passed Korin Tower, Korin was stuffing himself. A figure flashed past with a whoosh. "What was that?" Korin raised his head and looked around, but found nothing, so he lowered his head and continued eating.

Krillin arrived in a wilderness that looked exceptionally desolate, with no signs of life anywhere. He said expectantly, "Let's begin, system." Ding! Breakthrough commencing. Immediately afterward, energy from heaven and earth surged into Krillin's body. This energy shone in seven colors, but ordinary people could not see it. Only those above the level of a God of Destruction might possibly see it.

The seven-colored energy slowly transformed Krillin's body. If someone had been there, they would have seen Krillin floating in the air with an expression of pure enjoyment. At that moment, Krillin felt warm all over, like lying in his mother's arms as a child, like someone who had endured snow and cold winds soaking in warm water. In short, it felt wonderful.

The instant the seven-colored light appeared, Whis, far away in the God of Destruction Realm, seemed to sense a trace of Ki and hurriedly searched for it. But that trace vanished in an instant. With the system concealing it, even a master like Whis had no chance of finding it. "Strange, where did it go? Forget it, I won't look anymore. I'd better get some proper rest while Beerus is asleep." Whis giggled.

Krillin had been wrapped in white light for around ten minutes. Ding! Breakthrough complete. System integration complete.

Krillin slowly opened his eyes and immediately felt power constantly surging from within his body. This time, he felt that all the shackles restricting an Earthling's training had been removed. Only now did he understand that training had no end. Krillin laughed loudly. "I'm so powerful, so powerful!"

"System, check my attributes!" Ding! As follows.

Time: Era 756 Name: Krillin Age: 20 Race: Earthling Dimension: Level 1 Dimension (equivalent to Korin) Battle Power: 2000 (Next limit: 150,000) Potential: 150,000 Training Speed: Supersonic (30 days) Usable Energy: 2252

"Haha, a Battle Power of two thousand! It increased by five hundred all at once, and the next limit is 150,000. This feeling of endless training is incredible! But seeing the dimension level left Krillin a little confused. What does that mean?"

"You can understand it as the rank of a deity. For example, Earth's Kami is Dimension Level 3, while Korin is Level 1. As a divine servant, Bobo is Level 2. Above them are King Yama, King Kai, Great King Kai, Supreme Kai—Gods of Destruction are in the same dimension as Supreme Kais, though their strength differs greatly—Angels, the Grand Minister, and Zeno, corresponding respectively to Dimension Levels 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. As your dimension increases, your lifespan will increase accordingly. Considering that No. 18 does not grow old, the system specially applied to headquarters to add this function. So? Satisfied? Hehe."

Just as Krillin was about to be moved, he heard the system speak again.

"Considering that this is the host's first time using this function, there will be no charge in order to improve the user experience. In the future, hehe..."

"Damn you *****!"

But honestly, the system really was a thoughtful little helper!

Ding! To reiterate, this system is not mysterious and does not require the user to explore it...
