Cultivation in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber

A moment later, He Lingxuan brought Son Gohan into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Since there was a buffer room at the entrance, the ten-fold gravity had not yet taken effect. He Lingxuan and Son Gohan looked around and discovered a small trough with running water, along with a large pile of flour.

He figured this must be the food supply for the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Fortunately, he had bought plenty of delicious food beforehand, otherwise, they would have been in for a rough time.

He felt secretly relieved by his decision, then looked out at the vast, white expanse beyond the room. He Lingxuan understood that this was the true Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

"Big Brother Lingxuan, what is this place? It looks like there's nothing here at all!"

Hearing Son Gohan asking him with confusion from behind, He Lingxuan immediately realized he hadn't explained the specific situation to the boy yet.

He turned around, looked at the six-year-old Son Gohan who stood about 1.5 meters tall, crouched down, patted his little head, and said, "Gohan, this is the place where we will be training. Your father also trained here when he was young. The flow of time here is different from the outside; you can think of it as a long time passing in here while only a short moment passes outside."

"In other words, you won't be able to see your mom and dad for a long time. If you want to give up, I can take you out right now."

"So give me your answer, Gohan. Do you want to follow me and train here for a few months to become a brave warrior, or do you want to be a coward, staying with your mom and dad until the bad guys arrive and you have no power to resist?"

As it turned out, the reason Son Gohan had been willing to follow He Lingxuan to train was that He Lingxuan had shown him a 'future' where Raditz's arrival led to his father's death and his mother's despairing tears.

This caused Son Gohan, who hadn't been very keen on training, to make up his mind after a brief moment of hesitation to train with this uncle he had just met.

That's right, from the very beginning, Gohan had called He Lingxuan "Uncle," but after some righteous persuasion, Gohan changed the address to "Big Brother." He had originally wanted Gohan to call him "Brother," but "Big Brother" was acceptable—anything was better than "Uncle."

Gohan, who had been bowing his head in deep thought, gave He Lingxuan a heavy nod after a fierce internal struggle.

"Big Brother Lingxuan, I will never accept that kind of future. I will definitely keep training with you!"

Looking at Gohan's determined little eyes, He Lingxuan nodded with satisfaction, stood up, and laughed, "That's my boy, Gohan! A true little man. Get ready mentally; you might need a long time to adapt because the gravity in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is ten times that of the outside world, and the temperature difference between day and night is extreme."

After speaking, He Lingxuan walked in first, with Son Gohan following closely behind.

The next instant, a pressure ten times that of Earth's gravity hit them, causing both He Lingxuan and Son Gohan to experience varying degrees of discomfort.

Son Gohan collapsed to the ground, unable to even stand up. He Lingxuan, however, had deactivated the gravity on his Gravity Bracelet before entering, so he was able to adapt to the ten-fold gravity quite quickly.

"Gohan, you stay here and adapt to the gravity first. I'm going over there to train on my own. Once you've adapted, come find me."

After giving Son Gohan his next training objective, He Lingxuan used his immense combat power and physical strength to quickly adjust to the ten-fold gravity. He walked a kilometer or two away and began his basic training.

Ten thousand push-ups to warm up! Ten thousand sit-ups to warm up! Ten thousand one-finger handstand push-ups to warm up!

After a series of warm-up exercises, He Lingxuan had a light sheen of sweat on his forehead. He looked over at Son Gohan, who was a kilometer or two away struggling to adapt to the ten-fold gravity, and was surprised to see him managing to walk. He could only say that Son Gohan lived up to his name!

The strongest individual warrior, the Saiyan with the greatest talent!

This speed of adaptation was simply incredible, especially considering that Gohan's current combat power wasn't even that high!

After a moment of exclamation, He Lingxuan narrowed his eyes, ready to begin his real training.

With a slight movement of his hand, he adjusted the Gravity Bracelet to two times gravity. In an instant, a massive force pressed down on him, causing him to stumble and nearly lose his footing.

The two-fold gravity from the Gravity Bracelet was applied to his own body, while the ten-fold gravity of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was environmental. This meant that the ten-fold gravity was multiplied by two, subjecting He Lingxuan to a total of twenty times Earth's gravity!

This was the main reason He Lingxuan had chosen to ask Shenron for a Gravity Bracelet rather than a gravity room. Besides, scientists in the universe and on Earth were capable of building gravity rooms anyway.

Why waste a wish from Shenron on that?

His goal for the next year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was simple: reach the level where he could adapt to 100,000 times gravity!

That meant the maximum 10,000-fold setting of the Gravity Bracelet combined with the 10-fold environmental gravity of the chamber—the highest gravity he could possibly achieve!

By then, his base combat power would surely have reached a terrifying level, and transforming into a Super Saiyan would only be a matter of time.

As for whether he could achieve this goal, He Lingxuan wasn't worried at all, as he now possessed a top-tier Saiyan Bloodline!

In terms of growth, adaptability, potential, and every other aspect, he was only slightly inferior to the legendary Super Saiyan.

He Lingxuan began his gravity adaptation training. After about half an hour, he finally adapted to the twenty-fold gravity.

Over on Gohan's side, he had also managed to adapt to the chamber's ten-fold gravity and was jogging toward him.

Seeing Son Gohan running over, He Lingxuan wore a satisfied smile.

As for Son Gohan, because he had adapted to the ten-fold gravity, he was running faster and faster. He covered the two kilometers in just over twenty seconds, constantly accelerating throughout the process.

He started off taking over ten seconds, but by the end, he was moving at a speed of a hundred meters per second. It was still much slower than his speed in the outside world, which meant he hadn't fully adapted yet, but it was enough to begin some training.

Sweating profusely, Son Gohan arrived in front of He Lingxuan and panted, "Big Brother Lingxuan, I did it! I've adapted to the gravity here!"

"Gohan, you did great! Next, we'll train together to fully adapt to this gravity, and then we'll spar. I'll guide you on where your training is lacking."

He Lingxuan praised Gohan first, then his expression turned slightly stern as he mentioned the sparring.

Next, He Lingxuan led Gohan through various exercises—or rather, insane, over-the-top training that disregarded the safety of their bodies.

As for the risk of injury? He Lingxuan, who had successfully traded (looted) thousands of Senzu Bean from Korin, had no fear of Son Gohan getting hurt.

After a series of suicidal training sessions, Gohan had even eaten two Senzu Bean. Relying on his powerful mental calculations, He Lingxuan sensed that over ten hours had passed and it was time to rest.

He took out plenty of delicious food from the Capsule Corp Capsule he had brought and enjoyed a meal with the exhausted Gohan.

Then, day turned to night, and the extremely high temperature instantly plummeted to dozens of degrees below zero!

This caused the already drained Son Gohan to feel the biting cold, but then he felt a warm ki enveloping him, instantly dispelling the chill.

"Alright, I'll make an exception for tonight. For the rest of the time, you'll have to endure the cold and heat of these day-night cycles on your own."

Son Gohan turned his head and saw He Lingxuan sitting cross-legged in Meditation with his back turned, a happy smile spreading across his face.

Brother Lingxuan is truly kind! Even though he shows no mercy when training me, it's all for my own good!

Thinking this, Son Gohan drifted off into a dream. Sensing that Son Gohan had fallen asleep, the stern expression on He Linxuan's face instantly softened.

"Kid, the road ahead is long. You won't regret the choice you made today!"

With this thought in mind, He Lingxuan closed his eyes and began his own Meditation practice.

Meditation was a skill obtained from a gift pack dropped after defeating Piccolo. It possessed the ability to harmonize one's Ki, slowly increase one's strength, mental power, and dimensional level.

Although the last effect—increasing one's dimensional level—rarely yielded any noticeable progress, it was still a decent skill. It could replace sleep while simultaneously boosting and restoring mental power.

Beyond these, it had many other subtle uses, such as maintaining a peaceful inner state. He Lingxuan planned to teach this skill to Son Gohan in a few days so he could use it to replace sleep during his training.

Perhaps it would even help him maintain his sanity during the upcoming Great Ape training.

Early the next morning, as day and night alternated and the temperature gradually rose, He Lingxuan woke Son Gohan up to continue the second day of training.

The second day's training was even more brutal than the first, as He Lingxuan had increased the gravity on the Gravity Bracelet, forcing them to endure 50 times the normal gravity!

It was the same basic training as yesterday, followed by sparring. However, because Son Gohan was still young, his reach remained a limiting factor in his combat, despite his significantly increased combat power.

This left him feeling extremely frustrated while sparring with He Lingxuan, though He Lingxuan comforted him.

"You won't have this problem when you grow up. Right now, we are primarily training your combat awareness. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Son Gohan looked forward to growing up. To this, He Lingxuan smiled and said, "Perhaps adult life isn't as pleasant as a child's, who knows? When we're young, we always want to grow up, but once we're adults, we miss the carefree life of childhood..."

Hearing He Lingxuan's sigh, Son Gohan, who had been looking forward to growing up, fell into a state of confusion.

"Alright, stop overthinking it. Let's continue training. You'll understand these things when you're older."

What followed was a dull and boring training routine, yet He Lingxuan was very satisfied because he could see the progress of their efforts.

The feeling of watching the combat power increase bit by bit on the system panel was simply fantastic.

There was a saying that if there were a progress bar for everything one did, perhaps many people would work much harder!

That said, not everyone had a system!

Over the next month of cultivation, He Lingxuan had adjusted the Gravity Bracelet to 100 times gravity. Combined with the 10 times gravity of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he was effectively living and training under 1000 times gravity!

This was the power of the top-tier Saiyan Bloodline, and He Lingxuan's current base combat power had reached an absurd level.

After completely adapting to 1000 times gravity, He Lingxuan discovered that his base combat power had reached a full 3 million!

This was only because the training time had been limited to a single month; otherwise, it could have been even higher.

Of course, if he had an evenly matched opponent, his combat power might have even broken through 10 million.

Glancing at Son Gohan, who was currently in Meditation, and recalling his grueling training over the past month, He Lingxuan sighed with genuine emotion. This child's personality was vastly different from the original story; it was as if he had ignited the bloodlust deep within his lineage.

However, this personality also brought He Lingxuan a sense of relief. Based on his deductions and a rough assessment of his mental power, under his rational training plan, Son Gohan had already far surpassed his father, Son Goku, reaching a combat power of over 1000—even surpassing Raditz when he first arrived on Earth.

"System, open the panel!"

His mental power had also reached 200,000 due to Meditation under high-intensity gravity, an increase of 100,000. One could only say that the growth of mental power was truly slow.
