Inside the training room.
Glen had his eyes closed, his right hand resting on the inscribed tablet the entire time.
For some unknown reason, Glen always found it easy to maintain a state of mental clarity whenever he trained.
In this state, his mind would remain completely empty, and his body would enter a relaxed state similar to deep sleep.
If he were to describe it using a term from fantasy novels, he felt that this state of his should be called "enlightenment."
Buzzzz!!!
As though drawn by some mysterious force, the inscriptions on the tablet seemed to come alive, frantically pouring into Glen's mind.
Basic meditation, long-distance sensing, spatial positioning...
The core of Instant Transmission was not simply speed, but movement through spatial jumps that took almost no time.
"So it's this simple!"
Little Glen suddenly opened his eyes.
To master Instant Transmission, Ki sensing and one's mental state were the most important factors.
Back in the God of Destruction Realm, he had already achieved absolute control over his "Ki." As for his mental state, he had cultivated it to the level of "Semi-Selflessness."
"Then let's give it a try!"
Glen pressed his fingers to his forehead, his emotions instantly becoming as still as water.
What he needed to do now was sense the other person's "Ki," then adjust his own "Ki frequency"-not Ki strength-to match theirs.
Finally, he would use his mental state as a medium to guide his "Ki frequency." Two points formed a line, three formed a plane, four formed a solid...
A spatial tunnel formed between the two Ki signatures!!
"Go!"
Glen's body suddenly turned illusory, as though he had merged into space.
The next second, a spatial jump!
Glen moved in almost no time at all, appearing outside at the entrance to the chamber.
(Xiaobai: Hehe, simple, right? I bet everyone's learned how to botch it by now!)
"Th-this is impossible!!"
Seeing Glen appear beside him, Difu's eyes widened.
Supreme Kai Shin and Kibito, standing nearby, also swallowed hard.
According to Difu, the Yardratian, the fastest record among Yardratians for mastering Instant Transmission was two years.
How long had it been? Not even a day!!
Was this so-called God of Destruction Candidate's talent really that terrifying?
"K-Kibito, how long did it take you to learn Instant Transmission back then?" Supreme Kai Shin stammered from the corner.
"If I remember correctly, I think it took s-six hundred years," Kibito said in despair.
"Useless!"
Supreme Kai Shin cursed instinctively.
"?"
Kibito asked cautiously, "Then what about you, Lord Supreme Kai?"
"I didn't need to learn it. Supreme Kais are born knowing how."
"..."
Kibito was immediately left speechless. Am I really useless?
Meanwhile, Planet Yardrat's Grand Elder received the news and also appeared there using Instant Transmission. His eyes widened as he said:
"Lord God of Destruction Candidate, you've already learned it?"
"It looks like I have."
Glen checked his position. He had indeed moved out of the training room.
He remembered that Son Goku had apparently taken a year to learn this in the anime, while Vegeta had apparently learned it in half a day during the Moro arc.
By that measure, his own speed was fairly decent.
"My heavens, even the fastest of us Yardratians needs two years to master Instant Transmission. My lord, your talent is truly terrifying!"
Planet Yardrat's Grand Elder looked utterly shocked.
With such peerless talent, it was no wonder this child could become a God of Destruction Candidate!
"Talent? It does seem like my talent is pretty strong."
Glen nodded his little head, then looked at his hands.
He had actually noticed something unusual about his talent long ago.
He had only been in the Dragon Ball world for a little over two years, but his base-form strength, mental state, Bodily Instinct... all of these had reached a very respectable level.
Whis and Beerus's teachings naturally deserved some credit, but Son Goku and Vegeta had also received instruction from both of them in the original story.
Yet neither of their training results could possibly compare to his.
"Just as expected of the God of Destruction Candidate!"
Planet Yardrat's Grand Elder offered another compliment, then asked, "Since you've mastered Instant Transmission, Lord God of Destruction Candidate, would you like to learn our other secret techniques?"
"No."
Glen shook his head.
Yardratians were a remarkable race. Besides Instant Transmission, they had created all sorts of wondrous secret techniques.
For example, the Forced Spirit Fission that Vegeta learned during the Moro arc.
But Glen had no interest in any of those secret techniques.
He was a God of Destruction Candidate. When the time was right, Beerus and Whis would teach him "Destruction."
Of all things in existence, anything weaker than "Destruction" would be broken down into particles.
Compared to "Destruction," Planet Yardrat's other secret techniques paled, so there was no need to learn them.
"Grand Elder, I came here to learn Instant Transmission. Now that I've learned it, it's time for me to leave."
Glen expressed his intention to say goodbye.
Learning Instant Transmission was his first plan. With it, what came next would be much simpler.
Seeing that he really was leaving, Planet Yardrat's Grand Elder and Difu beside him bowed. "We bid you farewell, Lord God of Destruction Candidate!"
Glen waved and took two steps forward, then suddenly turned back. "You agreed to let me learn Instant Transmission here, so I owe you a favor. If Planet Yardrat ever runs into trouble, you can come to me."
"Ah? Thank you, Lord God of Destruction Candidate!"
Planet Yardrat's Grand Elder instantly grew excited. This was a promise from a God of Destruction Candidate!
But...
If they really did run into trouble, how were they supposed to find him?
"Just call out to Whis. I'll have Whis listen out for your voices."
With that, Glen turned and left.
Supreme Kai Shin and Kibito in the corner hurried after him again.
"Grand Elder, we got a promise from the God of Destruction Candidate!!"
Watching Glen leave, Difu hugged the Grand Elder tightly in excitement.
"You fool, can't you show a little composure?"
Although Planet Yardrat's Grand Elder said that, he could not hide the smile on his face.
Elsewhere.
Glen was in no hurry to leave Planet Yardrat, because he noticed that Supreme Kai Shin and Kibito kept following him.
"Hey, Shin, why do you keep following me?" Glen asked, turning around.
"To stop you from destroying more planets, of course," Supreme Kai Shin replied irritably.
"Destroying those useless planets is my duty. It's also the most effective way to raise the universe's average mortal level."
"I don't understand."
Supreme Kai Shin continued asking, "You spared the two of us earlier, which shows you mean us no harm. Since you know so much, could you tell me about the things you know?"
"..."
Glen actually thought Supreme Kai Shin was rather pitiful.
When he was still too young to understand anything, the Grand Supreme Kai, who had been like a father to him, had been swallowed by Majin Buu.
And Elder Supreme Kai had been sealed away by Beerus. For the next five million years, Shin had not even known what a Supreme Kai's duties were.
He could only fumble his way through managing Universe 7 all on his own!
Besides that, Majin Buu's attack on the Supreme Kai Realm back then had filled his heart with fear.
But even though he feared Majin Buu, he still had to steel himself and search for the location where Majin Buu was sealed.
Otherwise, if Majin Buu awoke again, the universe would surely suffer another devastating loss of life.
"I can tell you some of what I know."
Glen felt a little sorry for him, so he said, "But I'm heading to Planet Namek next..."
