The next morning.

On an open space behind Mount Paozu.

Talot, Raditz, Selari surrounded Son Goku they hadn't seen for almost three years.

Although he is still young, he has indeed grown taller and his body has become stronger.

Of course, now is not the time to dwell on these things.

The air was thick with a sense of oppression, which made Little Goku's expression serious, and he dared not relax for a moment.

"Are you ready, Kakarot?"

After a long while, Talot spoke first.

"Yes, Brother Talot, I'm ready." Son Goku's resolute expression became even more serious, and he clenched his fists, ready to face whatever came his way.

"Very good, but before the training officially begins, I still have to remind you that the special training we are giving you is not ordinary training. The next seven days will be your testing period. If you can't even withstand these seven days of grueling training, then you won't need to continue training." Talot's words revealed a cruel tone.

Sharp eyes scrutinized Little Goku, observing any changes in him.

"I won't give up easily! So please train me, brothers and sisters. No matter how hard or tiring it is, I will persevere." Son Goku didn't hesitate at all.

This was exactly the answer the three of them wanted.

Talot actually knew that Son Goku would answer in the same way.

After all, he is the protagonist of the original work. He will bravely move forward in the face of any difficulties and obstacles. Moreover, in the original work, he encountered so many hardships, but he chose to face them head-on and kept pursuing greater power.

Although the world has already changed because of Talot's arrival, Son Goku is still the Son Goku from the original story.

He is even more eager to become stronger than Son Goku in the original story.

"I hope you can maintain this optimistic attitude. Kakarot, before the real training begins, let me broaden your horizons and show you what real combat is like! After seeing it, you'll understand what kind of opponents you'll be facing in the future." Talot gestured to Raditz and Selari.

This was something that had been planned from the beginning—to give Son Goku a little shock.

Raditz and Selari each said a few words to Little Goku, then the two distanced themselves and suppressed their Battle Power to the level of several thousand points.

This is already their limit; if they go any further, Raditz and Selari don't know how to perform at their best.

Even in battles with thousands of combat points, they had almost forgotten how to conduct them.

Last night, they even conducted several simulations for this.

"Keep an eye on Kakarot," Raditz said.

"Don't blink," Selari said.

In an instant, the two exuded an aura of oppression that was unparalleled for Little Goku.

Once their breathing stabilized, Raditz and Selari moved across the flat ground like afterimages, their movements as fast as lightning and their attacks as fierce as thunder.

'Bang!!!!!' Fists collided, and a heavy sonic boom rang out.

Although they suppressed their Battle Power to around 5,000 points, 5,000 points of Battle Power is still enough to easily shatter mountains and rivers.

The playful fistfight lasted only a minute, but it broadened Little Goku's horizons to the point where he could barely move.

Looking back on his past battles, Little Goku realized that compared to this battle, his so-called battles were nothing more than child's play.

"Wow, that's amazing! They're so fast you can't even see them, and they have so much power that I can't possibly withstand it. This is the power of my brother and sister..." As Raditz and Selari's battle continued, the shock on Little Goku's face gradually disappeared, replaced by excitement and eagerness.

Having broadened his horizons, he yearned for the future even more.

He was already wondering if he could become just as strong after completing his training. Talot noticed Son Goku's transformation, nodded secretly, and then used his mind to signal Raditz and Selari to stop sparring.

Raditz and Selari understood and stopped, returning to Talot's left and right sides.

"How are you feeling, Kakarot?" Talot asked.

"So battles can be this intense... Brother Talot, Raditz, Sister Selari, can I be this strong in the future?!" Little Goku was naive, and his eyes burned with intense passion as he spoke.

He couldn't wait to start training.

"That's good. It seems you haven't backed down despite witnessing a battle of this level. Now, I'll teach you the correct way to cultivate Qi. For the next seven days, you must maintain this state of cultivation from morning until noon, and from after dinner until bedtime! As for the afternoons, your Raditz and sister Selari will teach you combat methods and techniques." Talot didn't waste any words and began today's training session.

After saying good luck to Raditz and Selari, Laritz went to the side to rest.

Only when Talot and Little Goku were face to face did Talot patiently explain to Little Goku the methods of Ki Cultivation.

From simply condensing, controlling, and releasing qi, to using qi to do things, such as Flight Technique and the free use of Energy Blast, etc.

The younger Little Goku had actually come into contact with it, but he hadn't truly embarked on the right path.

Just like flying, he was capable of it, but he couldn't fly at will, so he always used the Flying Nimbus.

As for energy attacks, he already knows how to condense and release simple Energy Blast, and he can also Kamehameha. However, he only knows that he can release them, but he doesn't know the underlying principles, and he has never undergone systematic training.

The focused Little Goku memorized what Talot said. Although he forgot some things, he was still very diligent and explored his understanding in his own way.

The training program has now officially begun.

At this moment, Raditz and Selari, who had gone to rest, did not interfere with Talot's teachings, but that did not stop them from expressing their feelings.

"Kakarot's determination surprises me. He's like us back then, yet very different," Selari remarked.

"Right? That's why I said from the beginning not to underestimate Kakarot. He's my brother! Even if he was born with Battle Power of only 2 points, innate ability is one thing, but we all reached our current strength through hard work. Besides, if we had seen a battle of that level when our Battle Power was only a few hundred points, we would probably have been terrified. In terms of courage and conviction, Kakarot is no less than us, and may even be better than us," Raditz said firmly.

"Hmm. I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it. Now that I think about it, before Planet Vegeta exploded, we were all trained by Uncle Bardock... just like we're training Kakarot now." Selari said with great emotion.

Upon hearing this, Raditz did not respond, but simply clenched his fists silently.

Bardock, his father, is someone they usually don't mention, because it's taboo for them.

That's all.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed without us even realizing it.

Little Goku's seven-day ordeal of grueling training has come to an end.

During this week, Little Goku displayed his extraordinary talent and unwavering will, leaving Talot in awe.

Little Goku made rapid progress in the methods of Ki Cultivation.

Combat skills and fighting style, as well as physical strength and resilience, have all made great breakthroughs under the joint training of Raditz and Selari.

His Battle Power has more than doubled compared to a week ago, reaching 800 points! This level of strength is the same as the combat power that Son Goku could unleash when he went all out at the beginning of the original story.

Of course, the reason why it improved so much in just seven days was largely due to Talot's continuous help in its recovery.

The Saiyan's characteristic is that whenever they experience immense pressure, their strength will increase dramatically after they recover from injury or overexertion.

Although Little Goku is still very weak and this characteristic is not obvious, if he experiences this several times a day, his strength will definitely increase dramatically.

In addition, some pulp from the Tree of Might fruit was added to Little Goku's daily food.

Talot has kept nearly thirty of these, but hasn't eaten them yet.

The training of Little Goku has come in handy now.

We just won't give him too much at once; the total amount is at most a few bites for a normal person.

Little Goku's strength is still very weak. Even if he digests the food he eats, the increase in strength will only be temporary. Only by taking things step by step can he make steady progress.

The cultivation area behind Mount Paozu.

"Seven days have passed, and you've passed the test, Kakarot. With your current strength, it's about time you switched to a different training method," Talot said.

These words brought a look of surprise to Little Goku's eyes. "So, the formal training begins next?!"

Not only Talot, but Raditz and Selari also nodded in response to Little Goku.

"Before that, we need to tell you some things about our Saiyan race. You were young before, but now that you're growing up, it's time for you to know some things..." Talot took this opportunity to reveal the secrets.

Raditz and Selari worked together to help Little Goku understand and accept the information more quickly.

Finally, Talot mentioned one of the methods they used to quickly increase their strength in the beginning.

"So, Brother Talot, is my next training session going to involve Gravity Training?" Little Goku asked.

"That's right." Talot, then obtained Raditz and Selari's consent, and directly activated his Instant Transmission ability, taking the group back to the courtyard of the Capsule Corp Private Estate in West City.

"This... this is? Bulma's house?!" Little Goku was stunned for a while before he reacted, exclaiming in disbelief.

His horizons were broadened once again, making him realize that with great strength, he could accomplish such things.

At this moment, Little Goku recalled a question Talot had asked him during his training these past few days, "Kakarot, what kind of power do you think is truly powerful?" At the time, his thoughts were simple, and he answered directly, "The power that can defeat the enemy is the strongest power."

Now, he is slowly realizing that his understanding is not entirely correct.

He couldn't answer the question: what kind of power is truly powerful?

"This technique is called Instant Transmission. You can go wherever you want by sensing the aura." Talot didn't mention his Instant Transmission, but only Instant Transmission, because Little Goku would definitely learn this technique in the future.

"Instant Transmission... Brother Talot, can I learn this move too?!" Little Goku asked with burning eyes.

Seeing his reaction, Talot laughed and said, "If you want to learn, at least wait until your Battle Power exceeds 100,000 points. Right now, you're still a long way off."

"10...100,000 points?" Son Goku now had a certain understanding of numbers.

During his previous training, Sister Selari often took out her Virtual Glasses to monitor his Battle Power changes in real time.

According to the data displayed on the Virtual Glasses, his Battle Power is currently only 800 points.

What Son Goku didn't know was that at this point, the power he possessed far surpassed that of the original character.

"What's wrong? You're already thinking of giving up?" Selari chuckled and teased.

Upon hearing this, Little Goku immediately became determined. "No way! I've got it! 100,000 Battle Power points... I will definitely reach that!"

Son Goku secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would reach Battle Power of 100,000 points and then learn Instant Transmission.

"It's good to have fighting spirit. It's just 100,000 Battle Power points. You can definitely do it. Come on, let's go to the Gravity Training room first." Raditz patted his brother's shoulder, signaling him to follow.

The upcoming Gravity Training will also be guided by the three of them together.

Before long, the four of them arrived at a Super Gravity Training Room.

Without wasting any time, they directly activated the Gravity Device, raising the gravity to 10 times that of Earth.

The immense gravity pressed down, causing Son Goku to be accidentally knocked to the ground.

"So... so heavy!" Son Goku struggled to stand up. The pressure from the Gravity Training truly shocked him.

"Growing up on Earth, your body won't remember the gravity of Planet Vegeta. Ten times is just the original gravity of our home planet. You'd better be prepared, Kakarot." Raditz grinned mischievously, then increased the gravity intensity.

The force was increased from 10 times gravity to 20 times gravity.

This is testing Kakarot's current limits.

After finally managing to stand up, Son Goku was knocked to the ground again. After struggling for a while, Son Goku managed to stand up again, albeit shakily, thanks to his strong willpower.

This performance earned the approval of Talot, Raditz, and Selari.

"It's so heavy... My body... can't move... Twenty times the gravity... I can hardly... breathe... It's completely different from the previous weight training..." Son Goku gritted his teeth and persevered, his forehead already covered in beads of sweat.

"Since you've withstood twenty times the gravity, but it's still a stretch, let's start training slowly from ten times the gravity. However, you can't take off the hundred-pound Weighted Suit you're wearing," Talot suggested.

Son Goku's second phase of training officially began.
