Krillin returned to Kame Island once again, but this time he had brought the Gravity Training Room and the Dragon Radar with him.
After landing, Krillin looked around the island. More than ten days had passed, yet it was hardly any different from when he had left. "Master Mutian really hasn't come back yet." After experiencing the splendor of the city, Master Mutian had changed too. Hehe, just as expected.
For the foreseeable future, I'll be relying on you for my training. Krillin looked at the Gravity Training Room.
Clear "ooh-ooh" cries drifted over, adding a touch of life to the tranquil island. Krillin had already changed into his Martial Arts Uniform and entered the Gravity Training Room. He checked his stats through the system:
Time: Era 756 Name: Krillin Age: 21 years old (one year had passed in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber) Race: Earthling Dimension: Level 1 Dimension (equivalent to Korin) Battle Power: 265,000 (next limit: 1,500,000) Potential: 1,235,000 Training Speed: Light Speed Training Usable Energy: 0
"I only have a thousand Senzu Beans left. My Battle Power is currently 265,000. Even if I converted all my remaining Senzu Beans into energy, I'd only have 500,000 energy. If I used all 500,000 energy to activate Light Speed Training, it would only support five hundred days of training. My Battle Power would only increase by 250,000, nowhere near the next limit. I don't have enough energy. This is driving me crazy." Krillin calculated gloomily.
Even if Korin provided him with a hundred Senzu Beans every year, that would still be a drop in the bucket. There was no other way. He could only seek Shenron's help and ask him to build a Senzu Bean Plantation. Then he could see whether he could cultivate Senzu Beans and obtain a stable source of energy.
Before that, though, he should train steadily. At the very least, he had to keep a hundred Senzu Beans in reserve for emergencies.
Krillin walked over to the controls. He would start with thirty times gravity. Since he had already undergone twenty-times gravity training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he had generally adapted to twenty times gravity.
Ding. Thirty-times gravity activated.
Krillin felt every cell in his body suddenly bear immense pressure, yet beneath that was a faint sense of anticipation and joy. After the human body underwent continuous high-pressure training, muscles formed a kind of memory. The process of every cell growing stronger after training would also be recorded and become instinctive. Krillin's cells knew their master was about to begin another round of intense training. Though the training was hard on them, they would grow stronger afterward, so they felt a little anticipation and joy. Perhaps that was why Goku loved fighting and immersed himself in intense training. Krillin liked it now too. The feeling of becoming stronger was truly incredible!
Krillin kept pushing past his limits. His muscles trembled as a voice urged him onward: just hold on a little longer. Two voices echoed in his mind. One said, Just give up. Since you're already here, wouldn't it be fine to just coast along? Why torture yourself like this? The other said, Come on, be a real man. In the future, you can protect Android 18 instead of being protected by her. Come on, Krillin. I know you can become a true king of the wild. Let the girls be the ones who coast along!!!
The power of conviction was limitless. Whenever he was about to give up, he told himself to hold on a little longer, just a little longer!
Though it was exhausting, Krillin still threw every punch with all his strength, tempering the most basic techniques. A fight between two people did not depend on intricate moves. A true master won without relying on moves; simple techniques could often defeat an enemy and secure victory.
A blue Kamehameha flew toward Krillin. That was right—he was training his ability to take hits. Only by being ruthless enough toward himself could he be even more ruthless toward his enemies. With a boom, Krillin fell. He had reached his limit, yet he fell with a smile on his face. Krillin did not eat a Senzu Bean, instead relying on his own recovery. It was not that he did not want to eat one; there was only one reason: "poor."
Huff, huff. Krillin lay on the floor, gasping for breath. Another patch of water spread across the ground as sweat drenched the floor. His upper body was bare, with only fragments of his Martial Arts Uniform still visible. Many scars had appeared on his muscular body. Training was like this: if you did not work hard, tomorrow would slap you hard across the face with reality.
Krillin turned over. By then, he was so exhausted that he fell asleep.
Time flew... another month passed.
"Hey... ha!" Krillin trained diligently, his punches flashing as fast as lightning and packed with force. Even the air boomed from the impact of his blows. His figure moved at high speed while several Kamehamehas chased after him. Krillin constantly dodged the Kamehamehas behind him. As the saying went, "A stationary target is easy to hit, but a moving target is hard to hit." That was the principle. At that moment, the gravity display on the wall had already reached one hundred. After a month of training, Krillin had adapted to one hundred times gravity. The combat environment he had just been in was entirely under one hundred times gravity.
Over the month, Krillin trained except when he was sleeping or eating. He had always believed that diligence could make up for clumsiness. Though he was not clumsy, being hardworking could never be wrong.
System, check my stats:
Time: Era 756 Name: Krillin Age: 21 years old (one year had passed in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber) Race: Earthling Dimension: Level 1 Dimension (equivalent to Korin) Battle Power: 290,000 (next limit: 1,500,000) Potential: 1,210,000 Training Speed: Light Speed Training
Thirty days of training had increased his Battle Power by 25,000. As the gravity increased, so did his daily Battle Power growth. At twenty times gravity, he gained seven hundred points a day. At fifty times gravity, he gained eight hundred points a day. At one hundred times gravity, he gained one thousand Battle Power a day. That seemed to be the cap, but in any case, Krillin's Battle Power had increased by a total of 25,000 over the month.
"Haha, I already have half of Frieza's strength. Hahahaha... sob..." Krillin laughed until he began to cry. What the hell was this? He possessed half the power of Frieza's first form. At the moment, Krillin did not know whether he should be happy or worried.
He had used another sixty Senzu Beans. There was only spending and no income. Even the wealthiest person would one day go broke. Only open source and cutting expenses could last. If the large end of a funnel represented incoming energy and the small end represented outgoing energy, then energy would naturally continue to accumulate.
First, he would take a bath and get some proper rest. Training well and resting well—that was the essence of the Turtle School.
Krillin walked over to the controls. This time, he shut it off directly rather than reducing it to one-times gravity. Since Krillin had already adapted to one hundred times gravity, it would not matter even if he activated one hundred times gravity directly. Last time, when he had lowered it to one times gravity, he had not yet adapted to one hundred times gravity.
Ding. Gravity deactivated.
Hehe, to borrow something Goku once said: "My body feels so light. It's like I can't even feel that I have a body anymore." Krillin swung his arms, feeling his body brim with strength.
Krillin walked out of the Gravity Training Room wearing only shorts and headed toward the shore. Then, with a sudden plunge, he dove headfirst into the sea. Flowing warm currents washed away the exhaustion Krillin had accumulated over thirty days.
Krillin drifted in the warm current. Gradually, he closed his heavy eyes and floated along with the current. The Ki he emitted kept all living creatures within ten miles from approaching...
