On Mount Paozu.

Trunks was in the middle of training when a figure suddenly appeared in the sky and descended.

This person was none other than Son Gohan.

"Gohan, you're back!"

Son Gohan nodded.

"So Gohan, about how long until the Gravity Chamber can be upgraded to eight hundred times gravity?"

"I don't know, but she said she'd call me once it's finished!"

"I see!"

"In that case, Trunks, how about I take you to train with my dad?"

"At Uncle Goku's place?"

Son Gohan nodded, placed his left hand on Trunks' shoulder, and with an Instant Transmission, brought Trunks to King Kai's Planet.

"Gohan, Trunks!"

Son Goku, who had been training, stopped immediately upon seeing the two of them.

Son Gohan nodded.

At this moment, King Kai and Bubbles also walked over.

"Are you King Kai?"

Son Gohan asked.

This was his first time visiting King Kai's Planet.

"That's right, I am King Kai... King Kai!"

King Kai said, while scratching himself.

Son Gohan and Trunks were stunned.

They had no idea what King Kai was doing.

"Ahem!"

King Kai coughed, his face quickly returning to a serious expression as he spoke.

"Gohan, Trunks, why have you two suddenly come here?"

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Trunks didn't know how to start.

At this moment, Son Gohan, standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.

"King Kai, we've come here to train!"

"Train!"

King Kai was shocked.

Son Gohan could kill him with a single finger now, yet he wanted to train here.

"That's right, King Kai!"

Son Gohan laughed.

"Gohan, weren't you training on Earth? Why did you suddenly bring Trunks to King Kai's place to train?"

Son Goku asked.

"Exactly!"

This was what King Kai was actually wondering as well.

"Because I took the Gravity Chamber to Aunt Bulma to have it upgraded!"

"You took the Gravity Chamber to be upgraded?"

"Yeah!"

Son Gohan nodded.

Son Goku looked toward King Kai.

"So King Kai, could you let Gohan and the others train here too?"

"This..."

Upon hearing this, King Kai immediately felt a bit hesitant.

Saiyans were just too troublesome; Son Goku alone had nearly demolished his planet several times.

If Son Gohan and Trunks were to train here as well, he would likely be driven to his wit's end.

Just then, Son Goku suddenly smiled and said to King Kai.

"King Kai, just let Gohan and the others train here for a while, won't you? Besides, as soon as Bulma finishes upgrading the Gravity Chamber, they'll head back!"

"Well... alright then!"

King Kai sighed and reluctantly agreed after hearing this.

"Thank you, King Kai!"

Trunks thanked him upon hearing the reply.

King Kai gave a slight nod.

He secretly hoped that Son Gohan and Trunks wouldn't tear his King Kai's Planet apart the way Son Goku had.

However... this hope of King Kai's was clearly unlikely to be fulfilled.

And so, Son Gohan and Trunks remained on King Kai's Planet to train.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two weeks had passed.

After those two weeks, Bulma had finally upgraded Son Gohan's Gravity Chamber to eight hundred times gravity.

At this moment, Son Gohan was standing in the backyard of Bulma's house.

"Alright Gohan, I've increased the gravity in the chamber to eight hundred times!"

"Thank you, Aunt Bulma!"

"It's nothing!"

"Then, Aunt Bulma, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now?"

"Sure!"

Bulma nodded.

Seeing this, Son Gohan used Instant Transmission and returned to Mount Paozu.

"Gohan, you're back!"

Trunks was very happy to see Son Gohan return.

Son Gohan nodded, activated the switch on the Hoi-Poi Capsule in his hand, and tossed it onto the ground.

With a loud bang, a building appeared on the ground.

This building was the Gravity Chamber.

"Let's go in!"

"Right!"

Soon, the two walked into the Gravity Chamber and saw that it had been renovated.

"It looks like Aunt Bulma even gave the chamber a makeover!"

"Yeah!"

"Shall we start our training at five hundred times gravity?"

"...Alright!"

Trunks nodded.

Seeing this, Son Gohan immediately increased the gravity in the chamber to five hundred times.

As the five-hundred-fold gravity pressed down, Trunks suddenly felt like he couldn't catch his breath.

"Are you alright, Trunks?"

"I'm... I'm fine!"

Trunks said, clenching his fists tightly as he transformed into a Super Saiyan.

After transforming, Trunks immediately felt his body become much lighter.

Just then, Son Gohan clenched his fists, and an incredibly powerful aura suddenly erupted from his entire body.

The floor of the entire Gravity Chamber began to shake violently.

Trunks was startled.

At this moment, the hair on Son Gohan's head turned purple and stood upright, his eyebrows vanished, his brow bone pressed tightly against his eye sockets, and his pupils also turned purple.

This was the Basic Ultra Instinct.

Unlike Beerus's godly technique, Son Gohan's Basic Ultra Instinct could be used even by mortals who lacked godly ki.

Although its power didn't compare to the true Ultra Instinct, it was still extremely formidable.

Furthermore, Son Gohan's Basic Ultra Instinct allowed him to destroy anything in the world, just like a God of Destruction.

The only drawback was that using this technique could consume a massive amount of stamina.

"What... what is this?"

Trunks exclaimed in shock after seeing Son Gohan's appearance.

"This is called Ultra Instinct!"

"Ultra Ego?"

"Mm!"

Son Gohan nodded.

"Then Gohan, can I transform into this as well?"

Son Gohan smiled and said.

"You can, but you'll have to train until you reach Super Saiyan 3 first!"

"Super Saiyan 3!"

Upon hearing this, Trunks immediately gave up.

He hadn't even mastered Super Saiyan 2 yet, let alone Super Saiyan 3.

"Then Gohan, which is stronger, this Ultra Ego or Super Saiyan 3?"

"Ultra Ego isn't a transformation, but a divine technique!"

"A divine technique!"

"Correct. It can be stacked on top of the Super Saiyan 3 form, though there is no real need to do so.

Because the Super Saiyan 3 transformation consumes too much stamina; if you were to stack this state on top of it, I fear you would run out of energy before you could even fight for long!"

"I see! Then if you don't stack them, which one is stronger?"

"Ultra Ego! In the Ultra Ego state, it can unleash every ounce of power within your body!"

"I see. It's just a pity that I'm too weak right now, otherwise I'd really like to see just how strong this Ultra Ego truly is!"

Son Gohan smiled after hearing this and said nothing.
