A terrifying rumble came from a hemispherical building in the outskirts of West City.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
A week later, Li Feng had fully adapted to five times normal gravity.
Li Feng used the Flight Technique to dart around at five times normal gravity.
He threw punch after punch, stirring up gusts of wind.
His greatest imagined enemy was Frieza.
In the original story, the Cosmic Emperor Frieza had a terrifying power level of 120 million!
But Li Feng's power level was still less than 10,000.
Of course, he couldn't get ahead of himself. His current enemy was still Vegeta, who would soon arrive on Earth.
Why didn't Li Feng go with Goku to learn Kaio-ken and the Spirit Bomb?
Because he knew very well that although Kaio-ken could multiply one's power tremendously, it also placed a heavy burden on the body. He didn't know whether it had anything to do with Goku's heart disease later on. As for the Spirit Bomb? He didn't need that kind of technique. He believed that as his power level continued to rise, there would be no enemy he couldn't defeat.
Li Feng knew that controlling ki was extremely important in the Dragon Ball world.
So, he wanted to develop more ways to use ki through his training.
"Kamehameha!"
Li Feng brought his hands together and held them at his waist, gathering a blue ball of energy.
"Ha!"
A deep-blue beam burst from Li Feng's hands.
But that wasn't enough!
He needed to control the Kamehameha completely, just as Goku had.
He could feel the Kamehameha he had fired.
Before it hit its target, Li Feng moved both hands to the right. The Kamehameha moved right along with them!
"Whoosh!"
The Ki Blast curved around the control panel in the middle and was about to strike the wall!
"Ha!"
As if it had a life of its own, Li Feng's Ki Blast curved to the right again. The whole Kamehameha looped around and came straight back at him!
"Bang!"
"Yikes! The Kamehameha still packs quite a punch!"
The powerful hit made him grimace in pain.
"Good. I can control the direction of the Ki Blast now. Next, I need to get even more precise."
A real battlefield changed in an instant. His opponent wouldn't just stand there like a target and let him take a shot.
The more skillfully he could control his ki, the better.
Li Feng kept practicing, and his power level continued to rise...
A week passed.
"Boom!"
After a terrifying blast of energy erupted, the Gravity Training Chamber finally couldn't take any more and was blasted open.
In fact, Li Feng had deliberately held back his ki until then.
But his strength had grown far too quickly.
His surging aura burst forth, and Li Feng walked out of the training chamber.
Without the ten-times-gravity effect, his whole body suddenly felt much lighter. It was as if, with the slightest misstep, he might float into the air without even using the Flight Technique.
Every cell in his body was buzzing with excitement. He felt incredibly light.
This was after just one week of training!
Li Feng had already adapted to training under ten times normal gravity!
His physique, strength, and speed had all improved by leaps and bounds.
Li Feng's power level was now 12,000!
His rate of growth was astonishing!
Well, since the Gravity Training Chamber was broken, he could ask Dr. Brief to fix it. It would also give him a chance to get closer to Bulma.
Li Feng thought to himself.
He could understand why Saiyans like Goku and Vegeta were so obsessed with training. It really was addictive.
He'd spent the whole week living in the training chamber. Bulma must have had a hard time, too.
"Oh? What was that explosion?"
After hearing the huge blast, Bulma drove over in a hovercar.
"Li Feng, are you okay?"
Without paying any attention to the priceless training chamber, Bulma hurried over to Li Feng and anxiously asked if he was all right.
"I'm fine, Bulma. I just accidentally broke Dr. Brief's Gravity Training Chamber," Li Feng said with a smile.
"Oh, that's no big deal. Wait, why aren't you wearing any clothes...?"
Bulma had been so worried that she hadn't paid attention to Li Feng's appearance. Only now did she notice that he was shirtless, showing off his muscular physique. The manly presence he exuded made her blush.
"I was sweating the whole time I was training. It wasn't convenient to keep my clothes on," Li Feng explained helplessly.
"Then come to my place and take a shower. You can rest there, too." Bulma covered her face, but peeked at him through the gaps between her fingers.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
As expected of Bulma's family, Earth's richest family.
They weren't just extravagant; their technology was also incredibly advanced.
Lying in the bedroom, Li Feng relaxed as a robot gave him a massage. It felt like every cell in his body had unwound, and he felt like a whole new person.
"Oh, Li Feng, you're out! Come eat with us. We haven't seen you in a whole week. You look like you've lost weight."
Li Feng stepped out of the bathroom and found Mrs. Brief, a blonde beauty, sitting by the dining table.
"Thank you very much." Li Feng didn't hold back and dug in like a Saiyan.
His Saiyan bloodline had increased his appetite tremendously. He'd already finished all the food he'd brought into the training chamber.
"Just like Goku, he's a real glutton."
Bulma watched Li Feng eat and found the contrast endearing.
"By the way, Bulma, don't you keep talking about going shopping with Li Feng? Since you're both free now, why not go together?"
Mrs. Brief smiled knowingly.
"Ah... well..."
Bulma glanced at Li Feng, and her face instantly turned red.
"Sounds good to me. I haven't really explored a big city before, either. Bulma, would you show me around?"
Li Feng seized the chance to get closer to Bulma.
"That's wonderful!"
Bulma was as happy as a child.
After the meal, they changed clothes. Bulma was once again captivated by how handsome Li Feng looked in a suit, while Li Feng got to see Bulma dressed in a youthful, stylish outfit.
He remembered that someone had once counted all of Bulma's hairstyles and outfits. Almost every episode featured a different look. When she dressed up, Bulma really was quite charming.
The two of them went on a date in West City and bought a lot of things.
Li Feng had to admire women's ability to shop. Add in the spending power of a rich woman, and it was downright terrifying.
He also got to see both the prosperity of the Dragon Ball world and the ordinary lives of its people. He'd always seen the world from the protagonists' perspective and thought of ordinary people as little more than cannon fodder.
But in reality, they were living, breathing people with lives of their own.
From now on, he would never let his battles harm innocent people. He had to protect this world!
Li Feng silently made up his mind.
After a day spent together, Li Feng and Bulma had grown much closer.
Bulma was deeply attracted to Li Feng's presence: he was powerful, witty, and funny, yet he also had a boyish innocence.
Li Feng's fondness for Bulma grew, too.
"Then, good night, Li Feng."
Outside Bulma's room, she said goodbye to Li Feng, shy but excited.
"Mm, good night. You should get some rest, too."
"I had a wonderful time today. Thank you!"
As if she'd made up her mind, Bulma suddenly ran up to Li Feng, wrapped both arms around his neck, and pressed her lips to his right cheek.
Then she darted into her room as if fleeing and closed the door.
Li Feng touched the lipstick mark on his cheek, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
There was no need to rush. Relationships took time to grow...
