First Experience in the Gravity Chamber

When Reke carried the Gravity Chamber back home, Bellis and the others had already left.

He found an empty space, carefully set the Gravity Chamber down, and while feeling happy, he once again marveled at the convenience of the Hoi-Poi Capsule.

Walking into the Gravity Chamber, Reke looked at the dial for adjusting the multiplier and, full of anticipation, set the gravity to 10x.

"Hum—"

A weight settled onto Reke's body, and a trace of discomfort appeared.

He stood in place and moved his body around until the discomfort vanished completely, then Reke began to adjust the multiplier again.

By the time he reached 30x, Reke clearly felt pressure on his eyes and pulled his fingers away from the button.

Reke's body could still handle it, but he dared not guarantee that his eyeballs could withstand higher levels; after all, he had never trained his eyes before.

In every previous battle, he had been protected by his ki, so it had been fine.

The reason Reke needed a Gravity Chamber wasn't just because it was a tool for becoming stronger in the original work, but also because he had realized his own weakness.

Simple weight-bearing training could not satisfy him, and many parts of his body could not be exercised that way.

Take Gohan from Dragon Ball Super, for example.

In the original work, he was actually injured by an energy gun, which seemed incredible to Reke.

Even if he was "trash" at that time, that was only in comparison to Kakarot and the others.

In reality, Gohan's combat power at the time was at least over ten billion, yet he was injured by something with a combat power of less than ten thousand.

It was absurd; it was the mother of absurdity opening the door to absurdity—it was absurd to the extreme.

Based on what Reke understood from the anime and his own current experience, he could only guess that it was because Gohan's body was too fragile.

Gohan had never undergone gravity training; all his combat power relied on the ki within his body.

Once he lacked the protection of his ki, his body was not much stronger than that of an ordinary person.

He didn't know how that fragile body of his could even contain the massive amount of ki within him.

Reke could only attribute it to the different rules of the world.

This also explained why Kakarot could go from 10x gravity to withstanding 100x gravity in just one week; he must have completed that training using both his body and his ki.

It also proved one point: in the Dragon Ball world, a strong body can influence the growth of the ki within you, but conversely, if you only increase the ki within you, your body will not necessarily become stronger.

With a living example like Gohan before him, how could Reke not find a way to make up for it? He didn't want to be taken out without even knowing why.

He was still young and couldn't leave Udrapa Planet, so he could completely rely on his physical strength to slowly adapt to higher gravity, train his body to be more powerful, and use his body to push the growth of his internal ki.

Reke spent the whole day doing basic training, slowly adapting to the gravity and strengthening his physique. When he stepped out of the Gravity Chamber, Pat and Lola were standing outside.

"Why are you two here? Is something the matter?" Reke asked, puzzled.

Lola rolled her eyes at Reke, not wanting to speak, while inwardly cursing: This brat is so annoying. Can't I come over if there's nothing wrong?

Pat asked, "Reke, Lan Xin and the others are being discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Should we bring them straight here?"

Reke was stunned for a moment, thinking for a while before he remembered who Pat was talking about.

"Bring them over," he said with a slight nod.

Reke turned to go take a shower, only to find the two of them staring straight at the Gravity Chamber.

"Reke, is this the Gravity Chamber you had Professor Plus build?" Lola asked curiously, looking like she was eager to try it out.

"That's right, do you want to try it?" Seeing what they were thinking, Reke asked directly.

The two nodded repeatedly, so vigorously it made one worry their heads might fall off.

"Tomorrow, help me find a few people to keep watch; from now on, no one else is allowed to come near it." Standing by the Gravity Chamber, Reke instructed Pat.

He was afraid someone would sneak in. For one, he was worried others might break the Gravity Chamber, and for another, the Gravity Chamber was very dangerous, especially for the members of the Dabusu Adventure Group.

"The same goes for you two. This thing is too unfamiliar and dangerous for you. If you're not careful, you'll be pressed into a meat patty."

Pat took Reke's words to heart, but Lola seemed a bit indifferent.

Reke naturally saw the expressions on their faces, but he didn't say anything more and directly adjusted the gravity to 10x.

"Thud! Thud!" Two sounds of people falling to the ground echoed.

The sudden onset of gravity, equivalent to five times that of Udrapa Planet, caught Pat and Lola off guard, and they were pinned to the ground before they could react.

The two were stunned on the spot, not even understanding what had happened. A heavy pressure enveloped them, and every cell in their bodies was protesting.

Gritting their teeth and summoning all their strength, they slowly braced themselves and stood up.

Their legs were still trembling uncontrollably, and their faces were flushed red with blood.

Reke just watched them quietly. He knew that with their combat power, they shouldn't have been in such a sorry state.

This was all because they were unprepared and hadn't mobilized the ki in their bodies for protection.

One had to know that Kakarot's performance the first time he endured 10x gravity was similar to theirs, but how much combat power did he have then? Less than 500, or less than 1,000 even with a ki burst.

Yet, after months of ki training, Pat and Lola both had combat power over 1,000, and Pat's was even over 1,500.

After about ten minutes, the two finally felt a little better.

Reke saw this and immediately turned off the gravity.

"Haa, haa!" The two of them let out a heavy sigh of relief.

From this, Reke realized that their bodies were indeed inferior to those of a Saiyan.

A Saiyan's body would definitely have adapted much faster than theirs.

He had just discovered that if he had let the two of them stay in 10x gravity for too long, their bodies might have suffered damage; it would have been very minor, of course, and their bodies would have recovered automatically over time.

But a Saiyan's body was different; it wouldn't be damaged so easily, only feeling fatigued, and eating a bit more food would be enough to recover.

"How was it? Refreshing, right?" Reke's lips curled up as he looked at them with a mischievous grin.

Pat still couldn't believe it, and asked with suspicion, "Have you been training in this environment all day today?"

"No, I was in 30x gravity, while you two were just in 10x gravity."

Pat gave a bitter smile, secretly admiring him.

Lola was different; she couldn't stand the look on Reke's face and said sarcastically, "Then you're not much better than us! Only three times more than us."

"NONONO! You don't understand." Reke didn't argue with her, saying with a mysterious expression.

Although Lola didn't know what the "NONONO" Reke said meant, judging by what he said afterward, she guessed it wasn't anything good.

"30x gravity would crush you into a meat patty in an instant." After saying this, Reke turned off the power and walked outside.

Starting tomorrow, he had to teach Lan Xin how to cultivate, and he also needed to begin strengthening his own physique; the time ahead would be very fulfilling.

Reke whistled as he walked into the house.

Leaving Pat and Lola to look at each other in dismay.
