Entering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to Cultivate

Time flew by!

Days passed one after another, and soon the eighth day arrived.

Bulma and her father, Doctor, had finished building the spaceship.

Over those eight days, aside from eating and sleeping, Son Gohan and Mr. Popo had done nothing but fight nonstop.

Now Son Gohan had thoroughly harvested Mr. Popo's Battle Power attribute.

Mr. Popo, for his part, spared no effort in teaching him all his techniques and experience.

At the entrance of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber!

"Son Gohan, I've left enough food and water inside. The flow of time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is different from the outside world."

"Each person can only train inside for two years in their lifetime, which is two days outside."

"If you don't come out after two years, the door will close forever, and you'll be trapped in that dimensional space for good."

Mr. Popo nagged with earnest concern.

He had never spoken so much before.

Now, to revive Kami, he was racking his brains.

"I know. I'll come out on time."

Son Gohan said with a smile.

He remembered that in the Majin Buu Saga, Trunks and Son Goten fused into Gotenks, trying to trap Majin Buu inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

But Majin Buu, relying on his immense power, tore a hole in the chamber's space and escaped.

When Gotenks saw Majin Buu break out, he copied the move, smashed the space inside, and got out too.

From that episode, it was clear the Hyperbolic Time Chamber wasn't limited to just two years of training.

As long as one was strong enough to become a Super Saiyan 3, even if the door vanished, they could break the restraints and get out.

"Alright, go on in. I've left enough food and water inside."

Mr. Popo finally felt at ease.

All his hopes for reviving Kami now rested on Son Gohan.

"Thank you. I'm going in."

With that, Son Gohan pushed open the door and walked in without looking back.

Inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, everything was a vast white expanse. The gravity here was ten times stronger than outside, and the weather was extremely harsh.

"Let me get used to this gravity first."

Son Gohan used his control over ki and his attributes to compress his power.

He began doing simple exercises inside the chamber.

Things like push-ups and sit-ups.

He also trained in Piccolo's Clone Technique, forcing out clones to spar with each other and harvest Battle Power attributes.

Soon, after a year and a half of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, his aura had become dense and terrifying.

Can I become a Super Saiyan now?

I still have half a year left. I need to try breaking through the Saiyan Barrier.

Rage—only rage can trigger the transformation into a Super Saiyan. How can I make myself angry?

Son Goku transformed on Planet Namek because his best buddy Krillin was killed by Frieza, and rage drove him to become a Super Saiyan.

In Dragon Ball, there was the saying that Krillin's sacrifice unlocked divine power.

Son Gohan racked his brains but couldn't think of a way to get angry. He even considered self-harm.

Flying up high and crashing down, burying his head in the ground—still no anger.

Now he had to use the method Vegeta taught Cabba, the Saiyan from Universe 6.

Channel all his ki to his back and transform into a Super Saiyan that way.

"Ahhh!"

Son Gohan frantically gathered his ki into his back.

The hair on his head stood up one by one, and his entire aura surged.

His body flickered between white and yellow, bright and dim.

His hair also alternated between black and yellow.

Son Gohan gritted his teeth and pushed. Break!

Boom!

It felt like something shattered inside his body.

Son Gohan instantly transformed into a Super Saiyan.

Before he could even feel happy, he reverted to his normal state.

He had only maintained Super Saiyan for a single second.

Hahaha!

He never expected this method to actually work.

He would keep using this method for the rest of the year.

Son Gohan was overjoyed; the power he had just felt was absolutely terrifying.

Transforming into a Super Saiyan multiplied his battle power by fifty times.

Hahaha.

If he could become a Super Saiyan, he would have nothing to fear about going to Planet Namek.

What about Dende's Healing Technique on Namek, or Guldo of the Ginyu Force's Time Stop Technique?

A glint of sharp light flashed in Son Gohan's eyes.

He had a purpose for going to Planet Namek this time—he wanted to use the System to pick up Guldo's Time Attribute and Dende's Healing Technique.

The anime had mentioned that Dende's Healing Technique was on par with Earth's Senzu Beans.

And Guldo's Time Stop Technique could last for several seconds.

He remembered there was a very powerful "legendary assassin, Shadow Assassin" named Hit from Universe 6.

He had a time-stopping technique called "Time Skip" that could freeze time for 0.5 seconds in battle.

For experts fighting each other, even freezing time for 0.5 seconds could change the outcome of a battle.

West City, Capsule Corp Headquarters!

A spaceship that looked like an insect was parked on the field.

"Why isn't Gohan here yet? Did he forget we're leaving today?" Krillin asked, looking at the time. He hadn't seen Son Gohan in a long time, not since the hospital incident.

He wondered where that kid had run off to.

"Gohan, where's my Gohan? Mother brought you books and school supplies!"

Chi-Chi's excited voice could be heard from far away.

Her car was loaded with over a dozen bags of luggage, as if she thought Son Gohan had already arrived.

"Chi-Chi, let me help you with those. Gohan isn't here yet," Krillin said, walking over to the car and taking down the dozen or so bags. The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

This wasn't a trip, so why did she have so much luggage?

The door to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber slowly opened, and a young boy walked out. His resolute face was full of confidence.

His battle power had now reached three million. It had to be said that Son Gohan's training talent was truly monstrous.

"Son Gohan, I haven't seen you in two days, but your appearance is almost unrecognizable," Mr. Popo said, waiting at the entrance. The moment he saw Son Gohan, he couldn't help but blink his eyes. The change was just too drastic.

The childishness on Son Gohan's face had faded, and his chubby cheeks were nowhere to be seen.

In their place was a sharp, chiseled face, and he seemed to have grown to about 1.4 meters tall.

"Mr. Popo, it's been two years since I last saw you," Son Gohan said teasingly. He had taken a shower inside and changed into a new set of clothes before coming out, finding Mr. Popo waiting for him.

"Go on, reviving Kami is up to you!" Mr. Popo said, waving his hand at Son Gohan.

He could feel that the boy's body had been completely transformed.

"Thank you for your care these past few days. I'll be going now; everyone is waiting for me to set off."

After saying this, Son Gohan took a running start and leaped down toward Korin Tower. As he passed by Korin's dwelling, he heard Korin's loud shout: "The hope of reviving everyone rests on you, Son Gohan!"

"I will not let everyone down. Wait for our good news."

With these words, Son Gohan's body erupted with a burst of aura, and he flew at tremendous speed toward West City.

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from the Kid, Korin couldn't help but nod. Where exactly was this boy's limit?

The Saiyan physique was simply too monstrous—such a small body contained such terrifying power.
