Astonishing Training Results; Trunks Is Amazed

But with Tarble's current strength, it only took him a breath or two to adapt to twice Earth's gravity.

"Keep increasing the gravity. Set it straight to six times."

"Yes!"

As Rix replied, he promptly adjusted the gravity to six times normal.

Bzzz!

In an instant, Tarble felt his body grow several times heavier.

If he still had only a few hundred in battle power, like when he'd first possessed this body, he would definitely have been crushed by the sudden high gravity into the same crablike pose as Son Goku in the original story.

Fortunately, his battle power had now reached 30,000.

It was only six times Earth's gravity. After walking five or six laps around the gravity device, he had more or less adapted.

Finally, without needing Tarble to tell him, Rix decided he could handle more and took the gravity up to ten times.

Bzzz!

Although Tarble and Rix both had battle power exceeding 10,000, neither had spent years in a high-gravity environment. Even at just ten times normal gravity, their bodies felt exceptionally heavy—so heavy that walking took some effort.

But only some effort. With their strength, they weren't anywhere near being unable to move.

Still, Tarble had no intention of increasing the gravity any further.

You couldn't get fat from eating just one meal, and rushing wouldn't make hot food cool faster.

In both his past and present lives, he had followed one principle: take things steadily, step by step.

If he raised the gravity too quickly, he might cause some irreversible damage to his body. That would be a terrible trade-off.

He felt that increasing the gravity by ten times Earth's gravity per day was enough.

And so,

the two began with the most basic training in the Gravity Chamber.

For example: walking, throwing punches, doing push-ups, and sit-ups.

Once they had fully adapted, they started simple hand-to-hand combat training.

Days and months passed unnoticed. In the blink of an eye, a day had gone by.

The moment Tarble switched off the gravity device, his body felt completely drained, but his eyes shone with excitement.

The three lines of text that appeared before him swept away his fatigue.

[The host has stopped training. Beginning calculation of the final training results.]

[The host trained for a total of 10 hours under 10 times Earth's gravity. Battle power increased by 460. Activating the current multiplier effect, increasing the battle power gain by 5 times.]

[Congratulations, host. You have gained 2,300 battle power. Current total battle power: 32,300.]

Excellent!

It seemed that after his battle power surpassed 10,000, his basic training speed really had improved quite a bit!

It looked like his current base training speed at one times Earth's gravity was a fixed 46!

He'd trained for 10 hours under ten times Earth's gravity today, raising his base battle power by 460.

So tomorrow, if he adapted to twenty times gravity, he could raise his base battle power by 920.

Multiply that by five, and he'd gain 4,600!

Heh!

Becoming a Super Saiyan didn't seem that far off after all!

Tarble thought happily.

At the same time, he decided to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber again after successfully becoming a Super Saiyan 2.

By then, he could break through to Super Saiyan 3 in one go. He might even have a chance of reaching Super Saiyan 4.

After all, once he became a Super Saiyan, his strength would break through the Third Dimension and reach the Fourth Dimension!

In other words, his battle power would reach the billions!

At that point, he'd unlock another binding slot.

After binding Trunks, his training effect would reach a terrifying six times!

With a sixfold training effect, spending two full years in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber would be enough to reach Super Saiyan 3, even by a conservative estimate.

He remembered that after spending about a year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Son Goku and his son Son Gohan had reached the limits of Super Saiyan.

At that training speed, they seemed to gain over ten million battle power per day.

What's more, he suspected that his base training speed would increase again after he broke through to Super Saiyan 2.

By then, multiplying it by six would mean gaining nearly a hundred million battle power a day, even by a conservative estimate!

Wouldn't breaking through to Super Saiyan 3 be a piece of cake?

He'd even have a fifty percent chance of successfully reaching Super Saiyan 4!

Just as he was imagining the bright future ahead, Trunks' astonished cry rang in his ears.

"Whoa!!!"

"Uncle Tarble, you trained for just one day and gained 2,300 battle power!"

"That's amazing!"

The shout brought Tarble's wandering thoughts back to the present.

He looked over and saw Trunks staring wide-eyed at the Improved Scouter, his face full of shock.

Tarble secretly used the Insight Eye to take a look and saw that Trunks still had 2 billion battle power.

He hadn't trained at all that day, so no wonder he was making such a fuss over this tiny increase!

If he knew Tarble's training speed, he probably wouldn't have said that.

Still, the only Gravity Chamber was already in use, so there was nowhere for Trunks to train.

Tarble pretended to look embarrassed and said self-deprecatingly, "Trunks, my strength is nothing compared to yours, right?"

"Your battle power in your normal state is already 2 billion, while I've only got a little over 30,000!"

"I'm too embarrassed to show my face!"

Bulma had raised the Improved Scouter's detection limit to 9,999 gai.

As soon as it was ready, Trunks had taken it around to scan everyone.

Even Vegeta couldn't get away from him and had released all his strength in his normal state for Trunks to test.

If Vegeta had cooperated, there was no way the others would refuse.

Besides, they were all curious about how strong they and everyone else had become.

So, every single person at the welcome banquet had been scanned by the two little brats, Trunks and Son Goten.

Only then did Trunks realize that he might have hit a sore spot. His eyes darted around as he hurried to console Tarble. "Well, Uncle Tarble, I heard Dad say that your battle power is almost half again as high as his was when he first came to Earth."

"You must have an amazing talent!"

At that, Tarble's mouth twitched as he grumbled inwardly.

You're putting your dad down behind his back like that—is that really okay?!

Still, Tarble knew it was just something Trunks had blurted out in a panic.

Without his cheat, how could his talent possibly match Vegeta's?

"Maybe. Who can say what the future holds?"

Trunks was young but already perceptive, and he tried to reassure Tarble again. "Uncle, you'll definitely become a Super Saiyan."

"Goten and I didn't even need anyone to teach us. We just tried it, and we became Super Saiyans!"

Tarble sighed inwardly, feeling a little speechless.

Listen to that!

What kind of thing was that to say?

When it came to the difficulty of transforming into a Super Saiyan, Half-Saiyans had it countless times easier than pure-blooded Saiyans!

If he were a Half-Saiyan, he might be able to transform just by trying right now.

Still, he had no intention of arguing with Trunks. He laughed and said, "Haha, I'll take your word for it!"

Trunks nodded firmly. "You definitely will."

As he spoke, he looked toward Rix beside him.
