Mental Simulation Training

"BOOM!"

A thunderous roar echoed as Turles's body was slammed into the ground, blasting out a massive crater. But immediately, Turles erupted with energy, shooting upward like a cannonball. The recoil caused the crater on the ground to expand even further.

Moving at speeds that broke the sound barrier, he was already invisible to the naked eye. In an instant, Turles appeared before Broly, his fists raining down like a storm. He struck Broly continuously, but those punches—capable of splitting mountains and shattering stone—had absolutely no effect. Even when he landed multiple blows on the exact same spot, he couldn't force Broly to take even a single step back!

Seemingly annoyed by Turles's interference, a trace of dissatisfaction flickered across Broly's cold face. He swung his left hand, catching both of Turles's fists, and then delivered a heavy, crushing blow with his right fist straight into Turles's abdomen!

"Pfft!" Blood sprayed from his mouth. Turles was instantly severely wounded, his body turning limp as his energy began to plummet!

Broly released his left hand, letting Turles's body fall under the force of gravity.

As Turles slowly descended, the entire world began to shatter like glass, quickly plunging into darkness!

Soon, the world reconstituted itself. The sky and the earth vanished, replaced by a vast, white void. Turles lay exhausted in the center of the white space, his chest heaving violently as he gasped for air!

"Failed again!" Turles's voice, filled with frustration, echoed through the space.

"Again!"

After venting his frustration, the world began to shift once more, and Turles immediately threw himself into the next battle!

Spaceship Training Room!

Turles's tightly shut eyes snapped open. His forehead was drenched in sweat, and his body collapsed backward, sprawling onto the floor.

That's right! Turles had just been conducting a simulated sparring session within his mental world.

This was a technique once used by Son Goku in the original story. During the Cell Saga, Son Goku had utilized zazen-style meditation within the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to focus on controlling his emotional fluctuations and simulating combat scenarios, achieving the equivalent of a year's worth of hard training in a short period.

What Turles was currently emulating was precisely those simulated combat scenarios.

Since Turles's spaceship wasn't equipped with a gravity laboratory like the one Dr. Brief had modified for Son Goku, he had to come up with other training methods. Mental simulation training was the most suitable solution he could devise.

Perhaps due to the fusion of two lifetimes, Turles's mind was much more active. Relying only on fragmented memories and his own exploration, he had learned how to conduct simulated training in the mental world in less than two days.

The opponents he chose to fight weren't limited to Broly; Vegeta, Paragus, and even the Son Goku and Son Gohan from his memories were all included in his simulations.

However, because he had never truly felt the energy of Son Goku and the others, the results for the latter were not very effective. Therefore, Turles primarily sparred with Broly and Vegeta. And the result of his battles against Broly was, without exception, a one-shot kill every single time!

Broly was simply too strong. Not only did his combat power far exceed Turles's, but his combat talent was also far superior. In Turles's simulations, whenever Broly entered his cold, indifferent state, his combat intuition would skyrocket without limit. No matter how Turles attacked, Broly would always anticipate his movements. The outcome was always the same!

Although mental simulation combat could not completely replace reality, the simulated data was based on the conditions known to Turles. In other words, if Turles were to fight Broly right now, the final result would inevitably be defeat.

However, mental simulation was not without its drawbacks: it consumed a massive amount of mental energy. Given Turles's current mental state, he could only perform at most one hour of simulation per day, and it couldn't be done continuously. After every 15 minutes of simulated training, Turles had to spend an hour recovering his mental strength, otherwise, it would cause severe damage to his mind. Consequently, he only had five hours of training time per day.

However, simulated combat held significant reference value for Turles. At the very least, as long as his body could adapt, the combat experience gained in the mental world would be quickly absorbed, saving him a great deal of time.

This was perfect for Turles, who was currently in the midst of interstellar travel. Not only could he experiment with various techniques in the mental world, but each simulated battle also served as an opportunity to discover his own flaws. This was why Turles was so tirelessly immersed in it, alleviating the monotony of the long voyage.

Unlike Paragus and Raditz—Paragus had still been in the mood to drag Raditz into training during the first week—a month later, they had both long since entered deep sleep, just like Raditz. This was actually the norm for long-distance space travel; once the destination was set in advance, the ship's systems handled everything else.

Finishing his training for the day, Turles washed his face and walked out of the training room.

As soon as he stepped out, Turles ran into Broly. His good mood instantly vanished, and his eye began to twitch.

Broly was a freak; he could actually endure such a long, boring journey without being bothered in the slightest.

Perhaps due to his experiences on Planet Vampa, Broly's temperament was very simple. Even after a month of space travel, he could still excitedly stare at the scenery of the universe for an entire day.

It wasn't that Turles was being stingy or unwilling to teach Broly mental simulated combat, but such delicate mental manipulation was simply too difficult for him. Since the last time Turles helped Broly force his way into a mental simulation, Broly had nearly lost control and dismantled the ship. Turles never dared to let Broly try it again. Therefore, until the hidden danger of Broly losing control was resolved, it was best for him not to engage in any combat-related training.

"Broly!" Seeing Broly staring intently out the window, Turles stepped forward to greet him.

"Turles, are you done training?" Turning his head, Broly looked very happy to see it was Turles. As his only friend, Broly cared deeply about him.

"Yeah, I finished my training for today, so I came out early." Turles replied casually. He walked to the window, looked at the monotonous scenery outside, and asked, "What, haven't you seen enough yet?"

If he had just entered space, Turles might have been attracted to these colorful sights, but once you saw them too much, they immediately became monotonous. Furthermore, the ship was moving at such high speeds that the eyes couldn't keep up, which could lead to a feeling of nausea after watching for too long.

"It's alright! It's pretty nice. I never saw these things on Planet Vampa!" Broly scratched his head honestly, looking a bit embarrassed.

Hearing Broly's answer, Turles fell silent. He wasn't sure if taking Broly away from Planet Vampa had been the right choice.

Paragus was in deep sleep, and he himself was focused on training. With no one to keep him company, Broly could only stare at the outside of the ship all day. He wondered if the boy felt lonely.

"Broly, you... never mind!" Halfway through his sentence, Turles swallowed his words.

Broly looked at Turles with some confusion. Seeing that Turles didn't continue, he didn't ask. For Broly, having the company of a good friend was already enough to make him very happy.

Just like that, the two stood in front of the window, watching the scenery of space together, occasionally chatting about their respective experiences. Broly's life on Planet Vampa had been very monotonous, so it was mainly Turles doing the talking. He shared not only his memories of combat but also the wonders of Earth from his past life. It was an eye-opening experience for Broly, especially the various delicacies of Earth, which made him yearn for them.

I don't know how much time passed before Karl walked over with one of his clansmen.

First, he reported to Turles that all positioning and monitoring systems on the ship had been successfully removed. Next was the progress on the construction of the Gravity Chamber. According to Karl, they had fully digested the data downloaded from Frieza's headquarters before their departure, and they could begin construction in two days.

The final piece of news was that, according to the plan, they would reach the next transit planet in two months. This lifted Turles's spirits.

Having stayed on the ship for so long, Turles had almost forgotten what it felt like to stand on solid ground. Now, he finally had some good news.

"However, sir, our ship just received a distress signal. It was sent by a Galactic Patrolman!" After hesitating for a moment, Karl reported this news.

Ever since Turles had them remove all the monitoring systems on the ship, Karl and his men understood that this group of Saiyans was preparing to break away from the Frieza Force. Coupled with the fact that their final destination was the Galactic Patrol headquarters at the center of the galaxy, this only confirmed their suspicions.

This made Karl and his men feel both fearful and expectant.

Frieza's intimidation was no empty threat; fear was only natural. However, the promise Turles made to them had given them hope. To be able to rebuild the Kabru Race—something that had been an impossible dream for them in the past—was now a reality within reach. Naturally, they had to seize it tightly. That was why Karl was also thinking about how to help Turles establish a foothold in the Galactic Center as quickly as possible, and right now, such an opportunity had presented itself.

"Galactic Patrol?" Turles was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, this person claims to be Jaco of the Galactic Patrol. He was targeted by a group of space pirates, and his spaceship was hit during the chase. He is currently stranded on Planet Kano!" Seeing that Turles was interested, Karl became even more excited and hurriedly explained the entire situation.

Glancing at the slightly over-excited Karl, Turles pulled up the star map. He quickly located Planet Kano; it wasn't far from their current position, and it happened to be right along their route.

"Can our ship make a temporary landing on Planet Kano?" Turles asked.

"We can, my lord!" Karl replied immediately.

"Good! Then slow down in the outer space of Planet Kano first. Don't rush to land."

"Additionally, prepare to wake up Paragus and Raditz!"

Turles had made his decision!
