Strongest Training

Krillin immediately came to his senses, a joyous expression on his face. I really am the strongest protagonist.

"You're probably celebrating too early," the System said disdainfully.

"This System's greatest strength is merely assisting you. Forget about 'swagger always accompanies me' or 'one slash, 999 damage.' Host, don't think about such unrealistic things. This System's core principle is: one sentence to start, strength comes from training."

"Alright, do you have any questions?" If not, this System is going to sleep.

Krillin quickly said, "Wait! What exactly do you want to say? I don't understand anything yet. Is this how a System should be?"

The System sweated... Please look at the big screen.

Training Assistance System:

"This System is dedicated to assisting Earthlings in their cultivation, enhancing their presence. Furthermore, this System has no secrets and does not require the Host to uncover them. Detailed explanations are as follows."

Time: Era 756

Name: Krillin

Age: 20

Race: Earthling

Battle Power: 100

Skills: Kamehameha, Solar Flare, Afterimage Technique...

Cultivation Limit: 1500 Battle Power

Krillin was full of confusion. "What exactly are you good for?"

"This System can allow you to improve endlessly, breaking the limits of Earthlings. You have infinite potential. For example, your current Battle Power is 100, with 1500 potential remaining. Without any fortuitous encounters, you can only cultivate to around 1500 Battle Power at most. Of course, this is just theoretical. Remember, humans have infinite possibilities. When you cultivate to 1200 Battle Power, as you approach the limit, your progress will become extremely difficult. At this point, the System can help you break through the limit. Your potential value will then become 5000, and 5000 will be your next limit."

"Do you understand now?" the System explained slowly.

Krillin was somewhat dazed, followed by immense excitement and joy. What Krillin worried about most as an Earthling was their aptitude. Earthlings found it difficult to cultivate beyond 50,000 Battle Power. Now, the System had solved the limit problem. All that was left was to cultivate step by step.

Next, he just needed to formulate a detailed training plan. The essence of Turtle School training was: study well, train well, eat well, and rest well. These concise sixteen characters encompassed the profound principles of cultivation.

Five hours of training a day was enough. Haste makes waste. He would also study for two hours daily. I'm going to be a cultured and profound person... Krillin fell asleep while contemplating.

The next day, a ray of sunlight shone in, slowly moving to Krillin's face. The warm sunlight stung Krillin's eyes, and he slowly opened them. He yawned, turned, and got out of bed.

Krillin walked into the main hall. The gentle and demure Lanqi had already prepared breakfast. Seeing Krillin, Lanqi smiled and said, "Good morning, Krillin."

"Good morning, Lanqi. Good morning, Master Mutian."

"Hurry up and sit down, it's time to eat."

Master Mutian noticed some changes in Krillin, who seemed more confident. A casual smile played on his lips, and his eyes sparkled. Krillin was a determined child, and after the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, he had been somewhat melancholic. But now, everything seemed fine. Master Mutian smiled with relief.

"Teacher, I'm full. I'm going to train," he said and walked away.

"This child has become diligent," Master Mutian nodded with satisfaction.

"My Battle Power is 100 now. I remember when Raditz came to Earth, mine was 206, and Goku's was 334-416. Goku is around 280 now, the gap isn't that big. In the future, the gap will be in the billions. Now is the best time to catch up. Goku's Battle Power doesn't increase much in the next four years either. Piccolo will have a new ultimate move, the Special Beam Cannon, in four years. It seems marriage really held Goku back," Krillin chuckled to himself.

Now, I need to adapt to my body as much as possible and get familiar with the feeling of combat. Let's start with the basics.

First, 2000 push-ups. One, two... 105. I don't feel tired yet. I'm so strong! Krillin couldn't help but exclaim. 2000 push-ups only made him slightly sweat. So, let's continue. 2000 burpees, 5000 push-ups, 10000 push-ups...

Krillin supported himself with his arms. There was a wet patch on the ground, and his entire body was trembling. You can do it, Krillin. Keep going. The trembling in his muscles intensified. Krillin gritted his teeth and collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily. He had reached his limit.

Ding dong. Host has reached their limit. System repair function activated. A mysterious power began to nourish and restore Krillin's body.

Every time the host cultivates to their limit, the recovery function will activate.

Krillin lay on the ground, his body feeling warm and incredibly comfortable. He slowly closed his eyes, enjoying the pleasure of cultivation.

Three hours later, he woke up and found his body completely free of discomfort. There was no muscle soreness, only a sense of refreshment. This was great! From now on, I can train without any reservations.

"It's time to go back." The path of cultivation requires steady progress; haste makes waste.

Master Mutian was still basking in the sun, though this time a coconut tree provided some shade. Krillin walked up to him.

"Master Mutian, do you still have the Turtle Shell I used for training? I'd like to use it for training," Krillin asked.

"The Turtle Shell is in the back warehouse. Krillin, at your current level, the Turtle Shell won't be of much use. You should get a heavier one. You can order one at the market town," Master Mutian explained.

"I know, but I still want to try it now," Krillin added in his mind: Actually, I don't have any money right now.

"Okay, teacher. I'll go look for it."

He found it after a while. Looking at the old Turtle Shell, the weight was acceptable. I'll carry it for training tomorrow.

Now it's time to study. I need to find some books to read. Krillin walked to the bookshelf and opened it. Good heavens, it was full. But what were those covers? After a few glances, he felt a surge of wicked fire. Heh, old man, you really have a lot of treasures. You truly live up to your reputation as a collector. It seems studying will have to wait. I don't have money to buy books now either. Life is so difficult.

The next day, Krillin arrived at his training spot, carrying a 40-kilogram Turtle Shell on his back.

"Haa..." He began his training. 2000 push-ups. It was clearly more strenuous than yesterday, but that's how it's more effective. "Haa..." Krillin supported himself on two fingers, his arms trembling. The ground was already lightly dampened by sweat. Whenever he felt he couldn't hold on, he thought of No. 18's face and the late-stage Dragon Ball scenes of planets being blown up with a single punch, and he instantly felt a surge of strength. Time for a break. Krillin lay on the ground, feeling exceptionally refreshed. The system's mysterious power was slowly repairing his body, much like a Saiyan's healing fluid.

Two hours later, he felt his body had recovered to its peak. He immediately got up and continued his ki training. However, Master Mutian's teachings were still vague concepts. To truly learn to use it, he would have to go to the Sacred Temple.

Seven days passed in a flash. Krillin was still training hard, his eyes tightly closed, concentrating his body's power. With a loud shout, "Kame...hame...HA!" a blue beam shot from Krillin's hand. A small hill in the distance collapsed with a roar. Haha, it lives up to its name. Now I finally have a Battle Power of 100. But I still lack practical combat experience. The memories of that feeling make me excited. The feeling of being powerful is truly great. But being constantly beaten is another feeling. How should I put it? Knowing that no matter how much I train, I'll still be beaten, the feeling of never being able to catch up to my teammates... No wonder Krillin gave up his martial artist identity later on. I can somewhat understand Krillin's feelings back then now. My heart for martial arts has never changed, but the cruelty of reality always leaves me bruised and battered.

Now, with my assistance, I know I can keep getting stronger. This feeling is unparalleled.

"Don't worry, in this life, I will definitely become a true, strongest Earthling," Krillin vowed silently in his heart.
