Astonishing Cultivation Effects; Surprised Trunks

However, given Tarble's current strength, he adapted to twice Earth's gravity in just a breath or two.

"Keep increasing the gravity multiplier; set it directly to 6x."

"Yes!"

As Rix responded, his hands moved quickly, immediately adjusting the gravity to 6x.

Hummm!

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

One could imagine that if he were still at the level of a few hundred battle power from when he first possessed this body, he would have ended up just like Son Goku in the original story—pinned to the ground in a crab-like sprawl by the sudden high gravity.

Fortunately, his battle power was now as high as 30,000.

At only 6x Earth's gravity, he managed to adapt after walking around the Gravity Chamber five or six times.

Finally, without needing further instructions, Rix felt they were ready and took the initiative to increase the gravity to 10x.

Hummm-hummm-hummm!

Even though both Tarble and Rix had battle powers exceeding 10,000, they hadn't spent time in high-gravity environments for many years. At just 10x gravity, both felt their bodies become abnormally heavy—so heavy that even walking required significant effort.

But it was only a bit of a struggle; given their strength, they weren't completely immobilized.

However, Tarble did not intend to continue increasing the gravity multiplier any further.

You cannot get fat from a single mouthful, nor can you eat hot tofu in a rush.

Whether in his past life or this one, he adhered to one principle: everything should be done steadily and step by step.

If he rashly increased the gravity, he might risk causing irreversible damage to his body, which would truly be a loss that outweighed the gains.

He felt that increasing by 10x Earth's gravity in a single day was quite enough.

And so.

The two began their most basic training inside the Gravity Chamber.

For instance: walking, punching, push-ups, sit-ups, and so on.

Only after they had fully adapted did they begin simple hand-to-hand combat training.

Cultivation knows no days or nights, and in the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

The moment he turned off the gravity device, although Tarble felt as if his body had been hollowed out, his eyes were brimming with spirit.

Because the three lines of text appearing in his vision swept away his exhaustion.

[Detected that the host has ceased cultivation; beginning final calculation of cultivation results.]

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

[Congratulations to the host for gaining 2,300 battle power. Current total battle power: 32,300.]

Very good!

It seems that once battle power exceeds 10,000, the base cultivation speed really has improved quite a bit compared to before!

It appears that at this stage, the base cultivation speed under 1x Earth gravity is fixed at 46!

Today, 10 hours of training at 10x Earth gravity yielded a base battle power increase of 460.

Then, if he adapts to 20x gravity tomorrow, he could increase his base battle power by 920.

Multiplied by 5, that would be 4,600!

Heh!

A Super Saiyan, it seems, is not so far away after all!

Tarble thought to himself, feeling quite pleased.

At the same time, he decided that once he successfully transformed into a Super Saiyan 2, he would enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber once more.

By then, he could break through to Super Saiyan 3 in one go, or perhaps even have a chance to reach Super Saiyan 4.

Because once he transformed into a Super Saiyan, his strength could be considered to have broken through the third dimension and reached the fourth!

That is, reaching a battle power in the hundreds of millions!

By then, he would unlock a new binding slot.

Once he bound Trunks, the cultivation effect would reach a terrifying 6x!

With a 6x cultivation effect, staying in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for two full years, it was safe to estimate he could definitely break through to Super Saiyan 3.

He remembered that Son Goku and his son Son Gohan had entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for about a year, reaching the bottleneck of a Super Saiyan.

That cultivation speed seemed to allow for an increase of over ten million battle power per day.

What's more, he speculated that after breaking through to Super Saiyan 2, his base cultivation speed would increase once again.

By then, multiplying that by 6, even a conservative estimate would mean an increase of nearly 100 million battle power per day!

At that point, wouldn't breaking through to Super Saiyan 3 be as easy as reaching for something in his pocket?

Even for Super Saiyan 4, he would have a 50% chance of a successful breakthrough!

Just as he was daydreaming about a bright future, an exclamation from Trunks reached his ears.

"Wow!!!"

"Uncle Tarble, you've only been training for one day, and your combat power actually increased by 2,300!"

"That's amazing!"

This shout successfully pulled Tarble's wandering thoughts back to reality.

Looking closely, he saw Trunks staring wide-eyed at the Improved Scouter, his face full of shock.

He secretly used his Insight Eye to check, only to find that his combat power was still at 2 billion.

Having not trained at all today, it was no wonder he was making such a fuss over this tiny increase in combat power!

If he knew his own training speed, he probably wouldn't have made such a comment.

However, since the only Gravity Chamber was already occupied, there was nowhere for him to train anyway.

Tarble feigned a look of shame and self-deprecatingly said, "Trunks, my strength is hardly worth mentioning compared to you guys, right?"

"Your base combat power has already reached 2 billion, while mine is only a little over 30,000!"

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

The combat power detection limit of the Improved Scouter had been raised by Bulma to 9,999 gai.

The moment the scouter was upgraded, he had taken it everywhere to scan people.

Even Vegeta had been pestered until he had no choice but to release his full base strength for testing.

Since Vegeta had cooperated, there was no need to mention the others.

Furthermore, they were also very curious about how strong they and others had become.

Therefore, at the welcome banquet, everyone present had been scanned by those two little brats, Trunks and Son Goten.

Hearing Tarble's words, Trunks realized he might have touched a sore spot. His eyes darted around, and he hurriedly comforted him, "Um, Uncle Tarble, I heard from Dad that your current combat power is actually about half again as high as his was when he first came to Earth."

"Your talent must be truly incredible!"

Hearing this, Tarble's mouth twitched, and he muttered to himself.

Is it really okay for you to belittle your own father behind his back like that?!

However, he knew this was just a panicked remark.

Without his golden finger, how could his talent possibly compare to Vegeta's?

"Perhaps, but who can say for sure what the future holds!"

Trunks, precocious for his age, offered more comfort: "Uncle, you will definitely be able to become a Super Saiyan."

"Goten and I didn't even need to be taught; we just tried it and succeeded in turning into Super Saiyans!"

Tarble sighed inwardly after hearing this, feeling somewhat speechless.

Listen to that!

What kind of talk is that?

In terms of the difficulty of transforming into a Super Saiyan, half-breed Saiyans have it countless times easier than pure-blooded ones!

If he were a half-breed Saiyan, he might even be able to succeed right now if he just tried.

However, he had no intention of arguing with Trunks, so he laughed and said, "Haha, then Uncle will take your word for it!"

Trunks nodded heavily: "You definitely can."

As he spoke, he looked toward Rix, who was standing to the side.
