Single Finger Push-ups

After finishing the dinosaur meat, Son Gohan immediately returned to the small mountain peak to take a nap.

In the afternoon, after waking up, Son Gohan first found a place with water to wash up.

According to the memories of the original Son Gohan, he had not yet mastered the Flight technique.

Therefore, after washing up, Son Gohan began to attempt practicing the Flight technique.

Once he learned the Flight technique, his movements would become much more convenient.

In Dragon Ball Z, Son Gohan had taught both Son Goten and Videl the Flight technique, so he had a rough idea of how to control it.

Because Son Gohan had already learned how to use ki, he quickly used his ki to make his body hover.

Then, he controlled his ki to fly back and forth in the sky.

"Woo-hoo!"

Because it was his first time flying in the sky, Son Gohan felt a sudden surge of excitement.

After practicing for an hour or two and becoming relatively proficient, Son Gohan immediately descended from mid-air and began doing push-ups.

The Flight technique was only a very common move in Dragon Ball; he still needed to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

Dusk fell.

After training for an hour, Son Gohan had completed 5,000 push-ups.

His current combat power had reached 15,700.

"Grumble..."

After finishing his training, Son Gohan's stomach quickly became hungry.

Just then, a man with green skin all over, wearing a dark purple-blue combat suit and a white cape draped over his back, flew over from the distance.

This person was none other than Piccolo.

"Uncle Piccolo!"

Son Gohan shouted happily toward Piccolo.

"Whoosh..."

"Thud..."

Piccolo descended from mid-air onto the small mountain peak and tossed a large fish he had just caught in front of Son Gohan.

"I caught this big fish in the river ahead; take it and roast it to eat!"

"Thank you, Uncle Piccolo!"

"Hmm!"

Piccolo nodded.

"Gohan, how has your training been lately?"

"I've made a little bit of progress!"

"Is that so!"

Son Gohan nodded, jumped down from the mountain peak, and went to find some firewood to roast the fish.

After finding the firewood, Son Gohan immediately gathered a burst of energy in his hand to start a fire.

When the fire was large enough, Son Gohan immediately placed the skewered fish over the flames to roast.

At this moment, Piccolo came down from the mountain peak and sat down beside Son Gohan.

The two sat around the campfire in silence.

A long while later, the fish was roasted.

Son Gohan picked up the roasted fish, looked at Piccolo beside him, and said, "Uncle Piccolo, would you like to eat some fish?"

"No need, you eat it!"

Hearing this, Son Gohan immediately picked up the fish in his hands and began to eat.

A long while later, Son Gohan finished the entire fish, let out a loud burp, and lay back.

"So full!"

Watching Son Gohan like this, a smile immediately appeared on Piccolo's face.

However, after only a moment, the smile on his face vanished, and he returned to his previous stern expression.

Although he liked this Son Gohan, he was, after all, Son Goku's son, not his own child.

Just then, Son Gohan, lying on the ground, drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

"Asleep... he's asleep!"

Piccolo was stunned.

Afterward, Piccolo sat beside Son Gohan for the entire night.

It was not until the next day, just before dawn, that Piccolo finally left.

"Uncle Piccolo!"

After waking up and finding Piccolo gone, Son Gohan called out tentatively.

However, no one in the vicinity answered him.

"Did he leave?"

Son Gohan muttered to himself.

Afterward, he found a small stream nearby to bathe and freshen up.

Once finished, Son Gohan caught a wild boar nearby and roasted it for breakfast.

After eating, Son Gohan quickly returned to the small hilltop to train.

"I'll aim for twenty thousand today!"

Son Gohan set a small goal for himself, then placed his hands on the ground and began.

"1, 2, 3..."

The morning passed quickly. Not only did Son Gohan complete his small goal, but he also managed an additional three thousand sit-ups.

"I'm so tired!"

Son Gohan wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked down at the ground below the small hill.

After scanning the area for a while and failing to spot any dinosaurs, he felt a slight sense of disappointment.

The dinosaur meat from yesterday had truly been excellent.

After calming his mind, Son Gohan jumped down from the small hill to hunt for his lunch.

Even though there was no dinosaur meat today, he still had to eat.

After searching the surroundings for a while, he managed to take down a wild boar.

Then, with practiced ease, he gathered firewood and began to roast the boar.

In the afternoon, after waking from his nap and washing up, Son Gohan began his training.

Since his strength had increased significantly, he decided to try one-armed push-ups.

Ding! Congratulations to the Host for performing one one-armed push-up. Combat Power +2!

Ding! Congratulations to the Host for performing two one-armed push-ups. Combat Power +4!

Hearing the system's notifications, Son Gohan was momentarily stunned.

"System, why did my Combat Power increase by 2?"

"Replying to the Host: the cultivation system increases Combat Power based on the difficulty of the Host's training!"

"What if I were to train under one hundred times gravity?"

Son Gohan asked.

"If it were standard push-ups, it would be 50; one-armed push-ups would be 100; two-finger push-ups would be 150. If it were two hundred times gravity, you would multiply by two; three hundred times gravity, multiply by three! Furthermore, the stronger the Host becomes, the more Combat Power is gained from training!"

After hearing this, Son Gohan pondered.

He remembered that the maximum gravity in the Dragon Ball gravity chambers was eight hundred times.

If he were to perform two-finger push-ups under eight hundred times gravity, a single push-up would grant 1,200, and ten thousand push-ups would grant 12 million.

With three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, he could easily gain billions in Combat Power.

Of course, that was assuming he had access to an eight-hundred-times gravity chamber.

"Then, System, if I don't have a gravity chamber and train with weighted gear instead, can I still gain that much Combat Power?"

"Of course! The system is very flexible!"

"How flexible?"

"As flexible as you need it to be!"

"Is that so!"

Saying this, Son Gohan began performing one-fingered push-ups.

His current Combat Power had already reached forty thousand, so performing one-fingered push-ups without any weighted gear was still quite easy for him.

The afternoon passed quickly, and before he knew it, the sun had set.

Sweat pouring down like rain, Son Gohan finished fifteen thousand one-fingered push-ups.

Each one-fingered push-up increased his Combat Power by three points. Since he had done fifteen thousand in one afternoon, it meant he had increased his Combat Power by forty-five thousand in just a few hours.

At this rate, he would likely reach a Combat Power of three million within a month.

Moreover, as Son Gohan's strength increased, his speed in performing push-ups had also become much faster than before.
