Actions Before Saving Homeworld

Shadao piloted the spaceship towards Krillin. The ship was overall silver-gray, with sharp wings like an eagle's. In flight, it moved with a phantom-like flicker. The spacecraft could be used as a short-range flyer or as a weapon for interstellar combat.

Krillin entered the spaceship. The interior was filled with the metallic texture and elements of alien technology.

"Let's go!" Krillin said calmly to Shadao.

Although Shadao was simple-minded, he wasn't stupid. Shadao skillfully operated the spaceship. The vessel slowly ascended, and once it reached a certain altitude, it shot off like a streak of light towards interstellar space.

Krillin watched the receding Morning Star behind him, marveling in his heart, "The stuff from Galactic Headquarters is really good, much faster than the spaceships from Planet Namek." After all, the Galactic organization was a significant power in the universe, and the performance of their spacecraft was quite outstanding.

Shadao made a series of operations on the virtual interface. After a long while, he said, "Alright, we've entered automatic navigation mode. It will actively calculate the radius of black holes along the way and bypass them."

"That's pretty impressive! Shadao, you always seem a bit slow, but you know quite a lot," Krillin said, giving him a thumbs-up.

Shadao rubbed his head, saying a bit sheepishly, "Just basic stuff, basic stuff."

Krillin learned from experience. While the spaceship was traveling, he analyzed the planets they passed and recorded their basic information. Krillin took this opportunity to note down some habitable planets suitable for docking and resupply.

Krillin took out the Gravity Training Room. The path of cultivation is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall back. Since his aptitude couldn't compare to those outstanding aliens, Krillin firmly believed that diligence could make up for lack of talent.

Shadao, seeing Krillin suddenly produce something resembling a small house, was startled. He knew a little about space technology in the universe, but he hadn't reached this level.

Krillin glanced at Shadao and smiled, saying, "I'm going to train. If you're interested, come along, and I'll teach you a few moves."

From their previous sparring, Krillin had discovered that Shadao only had a Battle Power of 500, and his combat techniques were a complete mess, no different from having brute strength.

Krillin walked into the Gravity Training Room.

Shadao hesitated outside for a while. Lord Krillin had a Battle Power of fifty thousand, while he himself was... Shadao was a little scared. But he thought about how he was about to return to his home planet and would definitely have to fight against evil forces. How could he rescue his people with his current strength? Shadao gritted his teeth and forced himself to walk in.

The scene inside the Gravity Training Room was different from what Shadao had imagined. The terrifying scenario he had envisioned wasn't there; there was only a spacious training ground.

Krillin saw Shadao enter and felt a sense of admiration. Shadao was a loyal alien. Krillin pressed the 20x gravity switch. Shadao was in the Gravity Training Room, so he had to set it according to his Battle Power.

Shadao looked around, unable to comprehend why Lord Krillin trained in such a simple place. There was nothing special about it.

Suddenly, the air around them grew heavy. Shadao felt as if he couldn't move. His body was subjected to immense pressure, sweat beaded on his forehead, and he cried out, "Lord Krillin, what's wrong? What's happening?"

Krillin chuckled at the sight, "Adapt well. This is twenty times gravity."

With that, Krillin stopped paying attention to Shadao. Once Shadao adapted to the twenty-fold gravity, he would teach him a bit about using Ki.

Krillin stretched his limbs and twisted his head, making a creaking sound. Suddenly, Krillin flickered and disappeared from his spot. His hands unleashed Kamehameha waves, chasing after him. Krillin's movements became faster and faster, constantly adjusting his body's agility and seeking that feeling of combat.

Shadao, standing nearby, watched with his mouth agape, completely stunned. He only felt a gust of wind flash through the open space in front of him but couldn't see anyone at all. He knew this was under twenty times gravity, yet he couldn't move at all. Shadao's eyes were filled with stars of admiration, and he felt even more confident about saving his home planet.

Time flowed like fine sand. Half a month later...

Krillin sat meditating.

Shadao was running in the open space nearby, his speed seemingly unaffected by the gravity.

Krillin opened his eyes and smiled, "Not bad. You've improved a lot compared to half a month ago. It seems Shadao just lacked a trigger for an outburst."

Time: Era 756

Name: Shadao

Age: 250 years old

Race: Mudball Star Alien

Battle Power: 750

Potential: 200,000

With a Potential of two hundred thousand, it seemed he could become a figure who would shake the Straw Hat Galaxy in the future. Krillin stood up and walked towards Shadao.

"Lord Krillin!" Shadao said respectfully upon seeing Krillin approach.

"Close your eyes and feel every bit of energy within your body. Try to keep your breathing in sync with the surge of energy," Krillin taught slowly.

Shadao's face lit up upon hearing Krillin's words, "Lord Krillin is going to teach me Martial Arts." Shadao listened intently, slowly closed his eyes, and did as Krillin instructed.

Shadao felt his energy but couldn't resonate with it. A look of panic appeared on his face, "Am I too stupid?"

Seeing this, Krillin said slowly from the side, "The path of cultivation requires gradual progress; don't be too hasty. Take your time to ponder what I just said."

"Energy is like a lake surface. When a drop of dew falls onto the lake, it creates ripples. The waves of water slowly spread from the center outwards. You are now the center, and the energy is within your body. Igniting energy doesn't require a violent aura, but rather a long and steady flow like water," Krillin imparted his experience to Shadao again.

Shadao seemed deep in thought, "I am the center of energy, like a black hole in the universe. Everything cannot escape its pull, not even light. But when a black hole absorbs to a certain extent, it emits particles uniformly into the universe. Is this the application of energy?"

Shadao shouted joyfully, "I understand! I understand!" He then closed his eyes. A faint, thin veil appeared on Shadao's body. This was Ki.

Krillin was also a bit surprised, "Have I encountered a Child of Destiny? He understood so quickly with just a little guidance? It seems that not all aliens with a simple appearance are useless."

To accommodate Shadao's cultivation, Krillin didn't set the gravity to 100x. It was fine if his strength grew slowly; losing twenty or thirty thousand wouldn't affect the overall situation. He still wouldn't be able to defeat Frieza's little toe even if he did.

Krillin looked at Shadao, who was diligently cultivating, and thought slyly, "What I owe now, I'll definitely have to repay later. As for how to repay it, I'll just use the Immortal Spirit Stone to settle the debt."

Krillin checked his current stats.

Time: Era 756

Name: Krillin

Age: 21 years old

Race: Earthling

Dimension: Level 1 Dimension (Equivalent to Korin)

Battle Power: 375,000 (Next Tier Limit: 5,000,000)

Potential: 4,635,000

Training Speed: Light Speed

"Not bad. I still have about 770 Senzu Beans left, but my energy is still not enough! The road to becoming a VIP big shot is still long and arduous. If I had VIP status, my Battle Power would grow so wonderfully. I bet I could even surpass Frieza if I slept for a year."

"Snap. I'm daydreaming again."

Time flowed like water, and another half a month passed. The two had adjusted their condition.

Shadao was a little excited. After so many years, he had truly returned. Shadao pointed at the galaxy ahead and shouted, "That's the Straw Hat Galaxy."

Krillin replied calmly, "Don't get excited, I see it."

The Straw Hat Galaxy is a spiral galaxy. Viewed from a thousand light-years away, it resembles a special hat. A stellar ring outlines the "hat's brim" on the outermost edge, and a bright core protrudes in the center, surrounded by a darker dust belt.

Krillin said seriously to Shadao, "Enter the Straw Hat Galaxy and quickly find a lifeless planet to land on. Don't get too close to Mudball Star."
