Seven Days Pass in a Blink, Proficiency Increases!

He used canned fish to build rapport with Korin, leaving a good impression.

Kairos took a whole jar of Senzu Beans from Korin. By rough estimate, the jar was more than ten times the size of a can and held at least one or two thousand beans.

What shocked Kairos was that the Senzu Bean reserves at this time were far greater than he had imagined.

Kairos had seen eighteen containers like that, and there were another dozen or twenty jars on the cabinet, all used to store Senzu Beans.

Although he wanted to take everything in one sweep, the number of Senzu Beans he had obtained was already enough to last him for quite some time.

If he wanted more in the future, he could come back and trade with Korin again.

That was right—trade!

Kairos made it clear that he would not take them for free, so once he ran out of Senzu Beans, he would trade fish with Korin for more.

Korin agreed. To him, no matter how effective Senzu Beans were, they were not as practical as an actual fish.

Afterward, Kairos also received a large Flying Nimbus from Korin.

It was not something Kairos had asked for. Rather, Korin had accepted Kairos's canned alien fish and given him the Flying Nimbus as a return gift.

In Korin's words, the Senzu Beans this time had been approved by Kami, so they could not count as a return gift.

That saved Kairos quite a bit of thought, since he had been wondering how he could get a Flying Nimbus from Korin.

As for the Ultra Divine Water that could unlock one's potential, he would wait for another opportunity.

He could not be too impatient with everything. It was better to let things take their natural course.

After bidding Korin farewell and returning to Kami's Lookout, Kairos gave all the remaining canned food to Mr. Popo.

He had long since grown tired of those things.

Even if he traveled through space again in the future, he could simply stock up on enough supplies back on Earth.

Now that his system had awakened and he possessed the System Space, where time stood completely still, he could store fresh food or even meals that had just been cooked.

Space travel was boring, after all. Dry rations and canned food were manageable for a short time, but it was different over the long term.

And so it went.

Including the first day he arrived on Earth, seven days passed in the blink of an eye at Kami's Lookout.

Kairos never left Kami's Lookout, spending all his time there recuperating.

While planning his next steps, he also sought advice from Mr. Popo and Kami Piccolo on their cultivation methods.

Kami Piccolo and Mr. Popo were both greatly shocked that someone as powerful as Kairos could still humbly seek their guidance.

They did not hold anything back, sharing their methods of cultivation and their insights into training ki.

Kairos took the opportunity to guide them in turn on how to go further and become even stronger.

Throughout the process, their relationship grew closer as well.

At the same time, drawing upon his knowledge of the original story, Kairos subtly learned information about the current era from them in various ways.

That way, whatever he did on Earth in the future would not seem strange to them.

Today was his eighth day on Earth.

Kairos rose early, ate breakfast, did a round of morning training, and then began meditating to cultivate his ki.

Over the past few days, he had continuously improved in guiding, controlling, condensing, and compressing ki.

Now, he was finally about to break through the beginner stage and step into a higher realm.

Only he himself could clearly feel such a breakthrough in realm, as though he were being reborn.

At the same time, his internal organs, limbs, and every bone in his body were cleansed as the energy of the ki within him was continuously refined.

Sitting cross-legged in the plaza of Kami's Lookout, the pressure surrounding Kairos grew increasingly powerful.

His aura was so terrifying that the bright sky gradually darkened.

Faintly, arcs of electricity seemed to flicker around Kairos's body, appearing and vanishing intermittently.

The sight made Kami Piccolo and Mr. Popo, who were watching from not far away, turn grave, and a trace of worry rose in their hearts.

They had never seen anything like this.

They had never even dared imagine it before.

"Kami, if this continues, nothing will happen, will it? If the power inside Kairos erupts, the entire Lookout will be destroyed." Unable to hold back, Mr. Popo finally voiced his concern.

How could Kami Piccolo not know? Cold sweat slid down his cheeks from his forehead.

"Don't panic! He is at a critical moment in his breakthrough. We cannot interfere, much less interrupt him. If our intervention causes his breakthrough to fail, it may instead lead to irreversible consequences," Kami Piccolo said.

He appeared calm and steady, but inwardly, he was panicking like mad.

Time passed bit by bit.

This state lasted for a full hour.

Suddenly, the oppressive atmosphere and savage aura vanished completely.

Everything seemed to have returned to calm, yet it also seemed as though everything that had happened before had been an illusion.

At some point, Kairos had already risen to his feet, though his eyes remained closed.

All of his aura was drawn inward, and all energy was controlled throughout every part of his body, forming the most perfect cycle possible at the moment.

[Ding!!!]

[Congratulations, Host. The proficiency level of the Five-Heart-to-Heaven Qi Cultivation Method has increased. Current level: Proficient.]

[Advanced Achievement: Qi Cultivation Proficiency achieved!]

[Advanced Achievement Reward obtained: Battle Power increased by 1,000 points! 1 Intermediate Custom Training Suit! The item has been stored in the System Space and may be retrieved at any time.]

The system's notification sounded in his mind at that moment.

Only then did Kairos abruptly open his eyes, two sharp glints flashing through them.

"Finally! I've finally completed the breakthrough of the first stage!!"

He muttered to himself as he carefully sensed the power he now possessed, unable to help glancing at his hands and every part of his body.

With the Eye of Insight activated as well, he immediately saw the truest state of affairs. At the same time, his Battle Power value appeared within the Eye of Insight.

Including the system's reward of 1,000 Battle Power, he now had 4,124,500 points!

Though this was far less than the actual Battle Power increase brought by achieving the cultivation milestone, this improvement in realm was necessary—and something he had to experience.

A simple increase in Battle Power could indeed grant him greater strength directly, but if he could not fully control and unleash it, then even with 100 million Battle Power, he might still be crushed by someone with 50 million.

Take Kairos's realm before his breakthrough, for example. If he suppressed his Battle Power to the same level as Mr. Popo and Kami Piccolo, he would not have been their match at all.

At the very least, he would need to raise his Battle Power to more than twice theirs before he could defeat them.

And this was also one of the reasons why Kakarot had been utterly thrashed by Mr. Popo when he first arrived at Kami's Lookout in the original story.

Therefore, he could not rely entirely on the system. He had to cultivate with his own judgment as well.

At the very least, he needed to raise the proficiency of his Qi Cultivation Method to a higher level as quickly as possible.

Only then could he control his own power more perfectly and become invincible among those of the same level.
