Introduction to Qi Cultivation! Special Training Suit

Kairos had been so clear-headed before, even considering giving up on becoming stronger, because he had already tried and kept trying. If it truly didn't work out, then it simply didn't work out.

In truth, no one was willing to resign themselves to mediocrity.

If he had not awakened the system, perhaps he might still have had chances to become stronger in the future by relying on his knowledge of the original story, but he would never have been able to compare to the original protagonists.

But now, things were different!

With the Infinite Achievement System bound to him, he could keep farming achievement rewards.

If he had a shortcut and still did not strive to become stronger, then he would truly be worthless.

Following the first foundational cultivation method of the Five-Heart-to-Heaven Qi Cultivation Method, Kairos entered a meditative state in less than three minutes.

That would have been utterly impossible in the past.

Back then, even though he could already sense the existence of qi, he needed to completely empty his mind before he could immerse his consciousness within his body like he did now.

It would take at least half an hour before he could truly settle down.

Before, he could only sense it. Now, his consciousness seemed to have merged into the Qi Sea within his body, becoming a part of it.

He could move according to his will, follow the flow of qi to every corner of his body... and even make the energy within him move in all sorts of ways according to his intent...

Qi cultivation was far more complicated than Kairos had originally imagined.

When he had read the original story in his previous life, he had assumed that sensing qi, like early Vegeta, meant one had already entered the field.

Only now did he realize that sensing qi merely meant touching the edge of the threshold.

Vegeta in the original story had indeed learned to sense qi after the battle on Earth, but in reality, he had only grasped the basics.

Knowing how to do something, entering the field, becoming proficient, and mastering it... were fundamentally different things.

Thinking carefully now, Vegeta had merely known how to do it. That was why, for such a long time afterward, despite constantly training bitterly, he had never been able to match Kakarot.

Vegeta was undoubtedly a genius among geniuses!

Without anyone's guidance, he repeatedly surpassed his limits and reached higher realms.

If he had received proper guidance, if he had further cultivated and comprehended qi while pursuing greater power, then during the Cell Games, he definitely would not have been inferior to Son Goku.

At the very least, he could have reached the Super Saiyan Full Power state.

Kairos had never thought so deeply about it before. Even if he considered the reasons, he would never have examined them so thoroughly from the perspective of qi cultivation.

Now that he thought about it, Vegeta had begun to realize the gap in realm between himself and Kakarot around that time. That was why he had continuously tempered his own realm afterward, eventually reaching such heights during the Majin Buu era.

Unfortunately, Kakarot's breakthroughs in strength were even greater.

After all, Kakarot had received guidance from far too many senior masters.

It was not until the era of Super that Vegeta realized that if he did not seek change, Kakarot would leave him completely behind.

So he set aside his pride and requested guidance from the Angel Whis.

It was also from that point on that Vegeta truly surpassed Kakarot in base strength.

Yet Kakarot was the protagonist, always pulling off some miracle or another.

Either he would suddenly break through a realm, or stack Kaio-ken to multiply his battle power. Later, during the Tournament of Power, he even attained Ultra Instinct.

However, Vegeta also continued creating miracles in his own domain, eventually honing the Ultra Ego form after the Tournament of Power!

Only after a full two hours did Kairos awaken from his qi cultivation.

He had basically truly entered the field now, rather than merely having a rough understanding like before.

Guiding qi, controlling qi, using qi!

On that foundation, he could then follow the detailed explanation of the Five-Heart-to-Heaven Qi Cultivation Method to further refine qi, temper qi, compress qi...

[Ding!!!]

[Congratulations, Host, for successfully reaching the beginner stage of the Five-Heart-to-Heaven Qi Cultivation Method.]

[Advanced Achievement—Introduction to Qi Cultivation achieved!]

[Advanced Achievement reward obtained: Battle power increased by 100 points! 1 Basic Custom Training Suit! Items have been stored in the System Space and can be retrieved at any time.]

As the system's voice rang out, Kairos froze slightly.

He had not expected that simply cultivating qi would directly trigger an Advanced Achievement!

Honestly, it was no different from getting it for free.

After all, the detailed explanation of the Five-Heart-to-Heaven Qi Cultivation Method had only come as part of his Epic Achievement reward.

In other words, the cultivation experience at the start had been a bonus bundled with the reward, allowing him to officially enter the field so quickly.

Otherwise, relying on his own talent and comprehension alone, he probably would not have gained such profound insight so quickly.

Of course, it was also related to the massive increase in his strength.

After all, the difference in his strength before and after was simply too great.

Most importantly, he had finally learned of another new function.

The System Space.

This meant that future item rewards would be stored in the System Space.

Opening the System Space through mental communication with the system, the first thing Kairos saw was the Basic Custom Training Suit.

The item came with a detailed description.

Basic Custom Training Suit: Its appearance can be altered according to imagination. Its weight load can be adjusted, with a minimum of 100 kilograms and a maximum of 1,000 kilograms. It restricts a certain degree of movement and increases the difficulty of training... Training while wearing it can double the results of cultivation.

So it's just as I thought from the start. Only high-tier, or even higher-tier, achievements come with other rewards. Kairos silently confirmed the scope of achievement rewards.

He took out the Basic Custom Training Suit. From its appearance alone, it looked like a very thin leather bodysuit.

Its style was somewhat similar to the training suit worn by Might Guy in the Naruto world, except it was black rather than green.

"This thing can at least change its appearance based on imagination. Otherwise, I wouldn't wear it even if you beat me to death."

After making that snarky remark, Kairos took off his Saiyan Battle Armor and put on the Basic Custom Training Suit.

The bodysuit had originally been very loose, but as soon as he put it on, it rapidly shrank until it fit his body perfectly.

After that, Kairos grasped how to use it.

He could alter its style according to his thoughts.

After changing it several times, he settled on an outfit that transformed into a tracksuit.

A properly handsome young man.

"Not bad at all! Let's test the weight load first." Kairos examined himself for quite a while and tested the suit's toughness as well. It was even sturdier than the battle suit he had worn before.

He activated the minimum weight load of 100 kilograms, but it was nothing to Kairos.

He did not feel the slightest strain, and he could still move freely.

After all, his current combat power was already 12,519 points. A mere 100 kilograms was nothing.
