[The Spirit Refining Method is an ancient secret technique for enhancing mental strength. It is difficult for ordinary people to learn, even harder to master, and those who can use it proficiently are even rarer; At the beginner level, practicing the Spirit Refining Method for every 100 days increases mental strength by 1.]
After reading the description of the "Spirit Refining Method," Saigo's pupils suddenly shrank. "It takes 100 days to gain just 1 point of mental strength? That's a long time!"
"Is mental strength really that difficult to improve?"
Saigo remembered that his mental strength was 18, but he didn't know whether other Elite Warriors had as much.
Perhaps Saiyan Elite Warriors generally had over 10 points of mental strength. That would explain why their mental strength was naturally strong, and why they didn't lose their reason after becoming Great Apes. The Legendary Super was an exception.
What a shame he couldn't view other people's personal information!
Wait!
He could make a wish with the Dragon Balls!
The Earth Dragon Balls might not work, but the Namekian Dragon Balls definitely would!
He could look for an opportunity to try it later!
Thinking of this, Saigo couldn't help admiring himself!
"I'm a genius!"
"For now, I'll train!"
Then Saigo threw himself back into training.
At five times gravity, his battle power rose by another 12,500 by the end of the day.
The next day.
Morning.
It was time for another simulation.
Saigo wanted to improve his proficiency with the Spirit Refining Method. During the simulation, aside from a brief interruption caused by King Cold, he spent all his time training to improve his proficiency in the secret technique—the Spirit Refining Method.
For the simulation reward, he naturally chose the secret technique—the Spirit Refining Method (Beginner 21/100).
His previous Beginner 9 had become Beginner 21, an increase of 12 proficiency points. In other words, it took ten days to gain 1 point of proficiency.
"At this rate, how long will it take to reach max level?" Saigo couldn't help complaining. But then he thought about it: if mental strength were that easy to improve, people in the Dragon Ball world would be absurdly overpowered!
After complaining, Saigo was about to start a new day of training when he suddenly sensed the auras of Bardock and 19 other Elite Warriors moving quickly toward the Royal Palace.
"Hm?"
"Why are they all coming together? Have they finished their teaching assignment?"
Saigo thought back. They had started teaching on July 10, and today was August 1. It had already been 21 days.
With the Saiyans' talent, it was entirely possible they'd all learned within 21 days!
"They must be coming to keep training in the Gravity Chamber! That has to be it!"
Saigo decided to wait for them. When he saw them, it turned out he'd guessed correctly: they had come to use the Gravity Chamber to improve their strength.
After another day of training at three times gravity, their battle power increased by 7,500, bringing their total base battle power to 52.9021 million.
They trained for two consecutive days under three times gravity.
In both simulations, Saigo chose to improve his proficiency in the secret technique—the Spirit Refining Method. His proficiency increased by 24 points in total.
In reality, he continued training under three times gravity, increasing his battle power by 15,000.
He was mainly making allowances for Vegeta III and the other 19 Elite Warriors. There was only one Gravity Chamber, so they had to start again at three times gravity. There was no other choice.
Until September 30, Saigo used every simulation to improve his proficiency in the secret technique—the Spirit Refining Method.
After 57 days of simulations, he finally raised his proficiency in the Spirit Refining Method to (Proficient 629/1000). Raising its proficiency level had paid off: at the Proficient level, it took half as long as before to gain 1 point of mental strength.
In other words, he now only needed to practice the Spirit Refining Method for 50 days to gain 1 point of mental strength.
In reality, 57 days of training in the Gravity Chamber had also greatly increased their battle power. To accommodate the 20 Elite Warriors, Saigo first had to train with them under three times Saiyan gravity for ten days before increasing it to four times gravity.
They increased the gravity once every ten days. By September 30, they had just adapted to eight times Saiyan gravity, and Saigo's base battle power had reached 53.7196 million.
As for the four Elite Squads, their battle power had also increased considerably.

The battle power of the 20 Elite Warriors showed that Saiyan training speed was generally determined by talent.
Generally speaking, the better one's talent, the faster one trained, though there were occasional exceptions.
Among those 20, Bardock had previously had the highest battle power. Although he no longer had the highest battle power now, his training speed was comparable to that of upper-middle-class warriors. He was a living example.
The other Saiyans had no access to a Gravity Chamber, so their battle power gains were limited.
But as Saiyans, they still gained 600 to 1,050 battle power from 30 days of training. Even adult Saiyans who trained normally had over 1,000 battle power.
Even newborns who had just finished their incubation period could reach over 500 battle power after training.
As for Saiyan newborns, on August 8, Saigo issued a ban: Saiyans who didn't meet the battle power requirement were forbidden from having children.
It was a mandatory order, and every Saiyan had to obey.
Once the ban on childbirth was announced, the Saiyans erupted in protest, demanding that King Saigo give them a reasonable explanation.
When they heard that their parents' battle power determined the talent of their descendants, everyone willingly complied.
After that, some couples even fought less often at night, or gave it up altogether.
Everything for the next generation!
Everything for the honor and prosperity of the Saiyans!
The Saiyans' enthusiasm for training was fully ignited. Before, they had trained hard; now, they were training as if their lives depended on it!
On the night of September 30, Saigo issued another order: all warriors were to prepare for battle. The next day, they would face King Cold, Frieza's father! Every warrior had to be ready, carry out their duties, and stay calm.
The battle plan was still the same as the one they had used against Frieza: the Great Ape strategy!
Even if King Cold liked to hide his strength and had powerful subordinates, including fighters with battle power in the 200,000 to 300,000 range, the Saiyans could reach over 200,000 after transforming into Great Apes.
Even if they couldn't kill their enemies, they could at least hold them off and reduce their own casualties.
The Saiyans were all precious. Each of them could eventually attain battle power in the tens of millions. Whenever a Saiyan died, Saigo felt another pang of grief.
Now that he had chosen the path of reviving the Saiyan race, he could only press onward with determination, put people first, change the Saiyans' traditional mindset, and develop in every way. Only then could he lead the Saiyans to glory!
