"Do you know how many times gravity can be increased?" Saigo flew over to the doorway and asked.
"I heard the maximum is fifty times Planet Vegeta's gravity! I checked myself, and it really can reach fifty times!" After reporting, Vegeta III asked curiously, "King Saigao, what do you need a Gravity Chamber for?"
Thump, thump!
Saigo patted the Gravity Chamber lightly and sighed, "This really is the perfect tool for increasing battle power!"
Seeing that Vegeta III still didn't get it, he asked, "Captain Vegeta, have you ever wondered why our Saiyans generally have higher battle power than most races in the universe?"
Vegeta III shook his head and asked in return, "Isn't it because our Saiyan race is special?"
"Yes and no!" Saigo nodded, then shook his head before explaining with a smile, "Aside from our race's natural traits, our battle power is generally high because we live in a high-gravity environment year-round. Over time, our battle power gradually increases!"
"By the same principle, increasing the gravity in the Gravity Chamber will subject you to pressure far beyond what you're used to, and every cell in your body will struggle to resist it. As you gradually adapt to this powerful gravitational environment, your muscles will grow much stronger, your reaction speed will improve, and your battle power will naturally rise along with them."
"Every training session is a challenge to your limits, and every breakthrough means a huge leap in battle power. In this Gravity Chamber, where gravity can be adjusted, you'll learn to bring out your potential under extreme conditions, surpass yourself, and become a stronger warrior!"
"So, don't you think this is the perfect tool for increasing your battle power?"
At last, Vegeta III understood. He looked at Saigo with admiration and exclaimed, "King Saigao, you're incredible! This method of increasing battle power really is perfect for us Saiyans!"
"I truly admire your wisdom!"
At that moment, Saigo seemed to tower in Vegeta III's heart. He was also deeply grateful he'd given up his position to Saigo. It was the best decision he'd ever made!
"What could have made our Captain Vegeta admire King Saigao so much? Ha ha!"
"Shut up, Pabujin! If you dare act so disrespectfully in front of King Saigao again, and he doesn't punish you, I'll discipline you on his behalf!"
"Uh! All right, I'm sorry! I admit I was wrong! I promise I won't do it again! Captain, please be the bigger man and let me off this once!"
"Hmph!"
Bardock's esteem for Saigo had also been growing, to the point that Saigo had surpassed even Vegeta III in his heart. He wouldn't tolerate anyone showing disrespect to King Saigao!
The others also pointed at Pabujin and muttered among themselves.
After giving Pabujin a warning look, Bardock hurried over to the Gravity Chamber. He silently nodded to Saigo, then turned his attention to the chamber.
He asked uncertainly, "Is this the Gravity Chamber?"
"You're just in time. We're starting our training in the Gravity Chamber today. I'm sure you'll grow to love it!"
With that, Saigo led the way inside.
Vegeta III followed right behind him.
Seeing them enter, Bardock and the others went in one after another.
As soon as they stepped inside, the lights came on. The room was evenly and brightly lit, suggesting that it was equipped with an advanced motion-sensor lighting system.
What caught their eyes first were the enormous, sturdy metal walls.
In the center stood an intricate-looking machine. It was clearly a control console equipped with a gravity-control system, and a large, lit-up screen rose from its surface.
Saigo glanced back and saw that everyone had entered. He then instructed, "Captain Vegeta, now that we're all inside, set the gravity to twice the normal level!"
"Yes!" Vegeta III replied, hurrying over to the console.
Saigo warned them, "Everyone, spread out quickly and brace yourselves for the sudden increase in gravity!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Everyone swiftly spread out, fully alert.
Vmmm!
Boom!
Even though they were prepared, the sudden increase in gravity forced them to bend forward, making them look like a group of hunched old men.
Even Saigo nearly lost his balance.
Phew~
That was close!
He'd nearly embarrassed himself by letting his guard down!
So high battle power didn't necessarily mean you could adapt to high gravity right away.
You still needed training to handle high gravity!
Relying on his high battle power, Saigo managed to straighten up again without much effort, feeling rather relieved.
Looking at the others, he saw that they were all grimacing and straining with all their might just to stand upright.
"Train hard, everyone. Once you've fully adapted to the increased gravity, we can raise it gradually! When you finish today's training, you'll see just how much more your battle power has increased compared to before!"
Seeing some of them turning red in the face as they struggled against the gravity, Saigo advised, "If you really can't take it, you can go train outside on your own!"
"Don't worry, King Saigao. We... can still handle it!" Vegeta III replied with difficulty, gritting his teeth.
Saigo said nothing more. He felt the doubled weight of his body and tried taking a few steps. He found himself moving a little more slowly, but once he summoned a little ki, it was just like being outside.
He thought to himself,
Using ki could offset some of the gravity, but that would make the training less effective!
Better not use any ki!
Saigo sensed the others and found that they were all using ki to resist the gravity.
No wonder!
I was wondering how they could all stand up straight!
They're all using ki!
That won't do!
He immediately said, "Don't use energy to resist the gravity. That'll greatly reduce the effectiveness of your training! High gravity can continually temper our bodies. Only when our bodies are strong can we contain and increase more ki!"
At his words, everyone was stunned.
If they didn't use energy to resist, wouldn't the gravity flatten them?!
But when they thought about how it would lessen the effectiveness of their training, the warriors, unwilling to fall behind, all cut off the flow of their ki.
The next moment,
Their breathing grew rapid and labored, rising and falling throughout the chamber.
Everyone's body sank sharply, their legs bending further as if pinned down by an invisible force.
Sweat poured out in an instant. Their foreheads, backs, arms... it was as though every pore in their bodies had opened.
Their muscles tensed all over, trying to withstand the powerful gravity.
"Ahhhhh!"
Under the crushing gravity, some couldn't help but cry out.
"Ahhhhh..." x18
For a while, their cries rang out one after another.
By the time the cries subsided, everyone was red-faced, yet somehow they had all managed to straighten up.
Saigo saw this and couldn't help the corners of his mouth from curling upward.
After that, he began his usual training as well.
After a full day of training, Saigo's battle power had increased by 100. His daily gain had indeed doubled!
That proved all the hard work had been worth it.
