Gravity Training Room

Gravity Chamber!

Turles toured the gravity training room while listening to Karl's introduction.

"My Lord, thanks to the efforts of my people and me, the Gravity Chamber has been built according to your instructions. Because we had access to the data from the Frieza Force headquarters, we finished a bit ahead of schedule."

"The entire Gravity Chamber covers about 500 square meters; any larger and it would affect the ship's flight. As you requested, the entire room is constructed from the hardest metals available. However, because our supply of Thundersteel is limited, only the 100-square-meter center area is built with it. The rest is made of Secondary Pili Steel, which is fully capable of withstanding your energy attacks!"

"Due to the time constraints, the maximum gravity multiplier is currently set to 30 times standard gravity, which only the central 100-square-meter area can withstand. The other areas are capped at 15 times standard gravity."

Karl reported the details of the Gravity Chamber, then glanced at Turles with a look of concern. He wasn't sure exactly how strong Turles was now, but the very idea of training inside a gravity chamber struck him as insane.

Training under high gravity is fundamentally different from carrying heavy objects. Weighted training only puts a burden on muscles and bones, but high gravity places a burden on the entire body, inside and out. Under high gravity, it isn't just the weight of the body that increases; the flow of blood, the beating of the heart, the breathing of the lungs—everything is affected. One careless mistake could lead to death, with no time for rescue.

As someone who had staked the future of his race on Turles, Karl naturally did not want anything to happen to him.

After inspecting the entire training room, Turles nodded in satisfaction. Seeing the worry on Karl's face, he laughed, "Alright, Karl, don't worry. I know the dangers better than anyone; I wouldn't joke around with my own life. Besides, aren't you going to be right here watching?"

After comforting Karl, Turles asked with some curiosity, "From what you said, it sounds like the two areas of the Gravity Chamber can be separated?"

"Yes, my Lord!"

"Considering the shortage of materials, I designed the areas to be partitioned. If you open the isolation panels for the central area, the gravity in the outer area will be weakened. That is why the outer area is limited to a maximum of 15 times."

Turles hadn't expected Karl to design it that way. This meant that when he was training, he could open the isolation panels and allow Raditz and Paragus to train in the outer area as well. That would make things much more convenient.

Thinking of this, Turles couldn't sit still; he wanted to experience the effects of gravity training immediately.

"Karl, you go out first. I want to test it out. Keep a close watch from the outside, and if any problems arise, shut it down immediately. Do you hear me?" Turles did not dare underestimate the risks of the Gravity Chamber and gave the order to Karl with a stern expression.

"Yes, my Lord!" Karl puffed out his chest, replied solemnly, and then turned and walked out.

Seeing the door of the Gravity Chamber close completely, Turles walked to the internal control panel. He looked at the three buttons: a plus, a minus, and a red emergency button. The digital screen displayed the number 1, representing the current gravity inside the ship.

Turles knew that 1 time standard gravity was equivalent to Earth's gravity, and 30 times gravity was 30 times that of Earth. Compared to the 100 times gravity of the ship Son Goku used to travel to Namek, it wasn't particularly high, but Turles still didn't dare to let his guard down.

The fact that Son Goku adapted to 100 times gravity training after only six days of extreme training was, to be honest, a bit exaggerated. If not for the existence of the Senzu Bean, Son Goku would have died countless times over. Many people even speculated that this might have contributed to Son Goku's death from a viral heart disease later on.

However, there was no need for Turles to push himself that hard right now, so he only needed to increase it gradually.

He pressed the plus button, deciding to increase the gravity by just one unit to test it out.

"Hummm!"

As the button was pressed, the machine began to run, and the gravity changed immediately. When it reached 2 times gravity, the air in the entire Gravity Chamber felt as if it had become incredibly thick.

Turles felt a pressure acting upon his entire body. It wasn't just his muscles and bones; even his internal organs and blood felt exceptionally heavy, and his heart began to beat much slower than usual.

Turles tried to take a step forward. His foot felt incredibly heavy, and the moment it hit the floor, it made a dull thud. He then lifted his other foot, and another dull thud echoed through the room.

Every step was much more strenuous than usual, but Turles's body could withstand it, and as he continued to walk, he became increasingly accustomed to it.

Just like that, Turles began to slowly circle the Gravity Chamber, the sound of muffled thuds echoing continuously throughout the training room.

After one lap, Turles returned to the starting point, breathing slightly heavily.

As expected, the Gravity Chamber was a cultivation multiplier; just a little training under 2x gravity was more effective than a whole day of normal training.

Turles couldn't help but laugh. He then started to jog. At first, his speed was very slow, but Turles quickly adapted completely to the 2x gravity and gradually began to accelerate, until finally, his speed reached a point where it was invisible to the naked eye.

Outside the training room, Karl watched Turles moving with lightning speed inside, his jaw dropping in shock and his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Before long, Turles stopped. After resetting the gravity, he opened the door to the training room and walked out.

He approached Karl, ignoring his stunned expression, and asked, "How is it? Did the machine have any issues?"

After all, this was a matter of his own life, and Turles dared not be lax in the slightest.

Karl snapped back to reality and replied even more respectfully than before, "My lord, the equipment is operating normally. After checking the internal wiring one more time, it will be ready for full use!"

"Very good! Notify me once there are no more problems!" Turles nodded and left the training room.

The Gravity Chamber is ready. The next step is to increase my combat power. We are about to enter the Galactic Center, and the enemies I face from here on out will only get stronger. A combat power of twenty thousand is far from enough. I cannot rely solely on Broly; my own strength is the foundation!

Turles thought to himself.

Over the next few days, Turles and Karl continuously tested the operation of the Gravity Chamber, and only when it was completely problem-free did he begin his gravity training.

One month later.

The air in the training room under 15x gravity felt even more stifling, and the entire room was bathed in a dark red hue!

Standing in the center of the training room, Turles stood with his legs apart, his center of gravity lowered, and his body in a stable horse stance. He pulled his wrists back to his waist in a lotus shape, focused his mind to condense the Ki within his body, and whispered:

"KA-ME-HA-ME"

A blue-white energy sphere began to gather in his palms. Once it reached a critical point, he thrust his palms forward violently and let out a shout:

"HA!"

The blue-white energy sphere flew from his palms, gradually transforming into a high-speed spiral beam of light, trailing a meteor-like tail as it shot straight ahead.

Just as the energy sphere was about to hit the wall, Turles twisted his waist and pulled his hands back while maintaining the energy output. At the very last moment, the beam changed direction, circled the training room, and flew back toward Turles.

Watching the rapidly approaching energy sphere, Turles braced his arms in front of him, his muscles tensing throughout his entire body.

"BOOM!" With a massive roar, the entire training room felt the tremor, and a thick cloud of smoke filled the air, completely obscuring Turles's figure!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After a long while, a cough echoed, and a dark silhouette emerged from the smoke. As the smoke slowly dissipated, the figure of Turles was fully revealed.

At this moment, Turles looked exceptionally battered. His naked body was covered in blue and red bruises, a trail of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his arms hung limp at his sides. He looked as if he were on the verge of collapsing.

He dragged his body toward the control console, each step accompanied by intense pain, his mouth twitching continuously.

Finally reaching the console, Turles struggled to lift his right hand and slammed it onto the red emergency button like a heavy weight hitting the floor.

As the emergency button was pressed, red alarm lights began to flash, and the gravity in the entire Gravity Chamber began to drop rapidly, soon returning to 1x gravity.

"Thud!"

Turles could no longer hold on; his body fell heavily backward, hitting the floor with a loud sound.

Upon receiving the alarm, Karl and the others immediately rushed into the Gravity Chamber. Seeing Turles on the ground, they began emergency treatment in an orderly fashion and soon transferred him into a Healing Tank.

As the healing fluid slowly filled the tank, Turles's heartbeat gradually returned to normal, and the few medical staff of the Kabru Race finally relaxed.

At this moment, a member of the Kabru Race approached Karl and reminded him, "Karl, we are running low on healing fluid. If this happens again, we won't have enough for emergency reserves!"

"Hmm?" Karl, who had been staring at Turles in the Healing Tank, turned his head immediately upon hearing this. Seeing the serious expression on his clansman's face, he nodded and said, "I will speak to Lord Turles about it!"

The Kabru clansman nodded and returned to his post.

"Sigh!" Karl continued to watch Turles, letting out a soft sigh.

One day later, Turles woke up in the Healing Tank. As the healing fluid drained away, Turles stepped out naked. After hearing Karl's report, he fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Turles asked, "How much longer until we reach our destination?"

"My Lord, we are only three days away from the next target planet. According to your plan, we will rest on that planet for half a month before deciding on the next destination," Karl reported the situation truthfully.

"Good! I won't be training for the next three days. Shut down the Gravity Chamber and divert all energy to the propulsion system. Full speed ahead!"

"Yes, my Lord!"
