Leaving the Chamber!

Thinking of this, He Lingxuan's attention drifted involuntarily toward Son Gohan, who was not far away.

He was doing all kinds of exercises, and he was even in his Super Saiyan form!

That's right. After half a year of brutal training, along with He Lingxuan's guidance and sparring, Son Gohan's base power had reached three million not long ago.

His training during that time had cost dozens of Senzu Beans. That alone showed how dangerous it had been.

Then, a few days ago, He Lingxuan used his now-immense spiritual power of one million to create an illusion. Since young Son Gohan's own spiritual power wasn't very strong, he could barely tell reality from illusion.

The only way out was to have a battle power far beyond He Lingxuan's, but that wasn't realistic.

So, inside the illusion, Son Gohan saw scene after scene that seemed utterly real.

At the start of the illusion, He Lingxuan announced that their training was over early and told him to go home and get some rest.

The obedient Son Gohan nodded and naturally left the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, returning home.

The moment he stepped inside, he saw his father—the towering, all-powerful man in his eyes—pinned beneath the foot of a Saiyan wearing a strange Battle Suit.

Furious at the sight, Son Gohan immediately unleashed his powerful aura and attacked the Saiyan. But after just a few exchanges, he was defeated. He didn't notice anything strange about it, only thinking that he hadn't trained hard enough.

Son Gohan, knocked to the ground, glared viciously at the Saiyan who had beaten him. The Saiyan sneered.

"Not bad, kid. You actually dared to attack me. Didn't you see that I've got your father under my foot? And you still dare to fight back? Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, Son Gohan's eyes burned with even greater fury. He wanted nothing more than to defeat the Saiyan once and for all. Even now, though, he still had no intention of killing him.

That showed just how kind he was at heart.

But kindness brought him no reprieve. The next moment, the Saiyan came out of the house with Chi-Chi dangling from one hand by the neck, then flung her into the sky and fired a Ki Blast at her.

At the sight, Son Goku and Son Gohan seemed to feel none of their wounds as they unleashed their auras and tried to stop the attack.

But they were too slow—far too late. Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Son Goku grabbed the unknown Saiyan and shouted to Son Gohan, "Gohan, run!"

Then he self-destructed, intending to take the Saiyan with him. A moment later, an explosion rang out in the sky. Chi-Chi had already been reduced to dust.

When the dust settled, the Saiyan appeared, bearing only superficial injuries. He looked at Son Gohan, who hadn't run, and wore an expression that promised to torture him to death.

His parents had died horribly right before his eyes—not even leaving behind ashes!

In an instant, unprecedented rage and murderous intent flooded Son Gohan's mind. The restraints inside him seemed to shatter at once, and an endless torrent of wild energy burst forth!

Son Gohan transformed into a Super Saiyan in an instant, coming infinitely close to Super Saiyan 2!

"I'll kill you! I'll avenge Mom and Dad!"

His voice was so cold that no one would believe it came from the usually gentle Son Gohan.

Clearly, the fury in his heart had reached its absolute peak!

In the next instant, he punched straight through the Saiyan's chest and flung him into the sky. Then he stood his ground and took up a stance.

"Kamehameha!"

A brilliant blue Ki Wave erupted from Son Gohan's hands, turning the Saiyan in the sky to ash. He hadn't been able to fight back at all!

Then Son Gohan, lost in confusion and grief, awoke from the illusion. He looked at his Super Saiyan form and thought back to all those experiences that had felt so real.

It took him a long while to collect himself and remember what had happened.

As it turned out, he'd been too impatient. When he heard Big Brother Ling Xuan say that he had reached the minimum requirement for transforming into a Super Saiyan, he immediately went to ask him how to do it.

That was how the earlier events had unfolded. He had agreed to it, of course, but the illusion created by suppressing his spiritual power had felt no different from reality to Son Gohan.

It took him several days to recover from the experience.

As for his current training while maintaining his Super Saiyan form, that had been He Lingxuan's suggestion too.

It was an essential step toward mastering Super Saiyan Full Power. Unless he could cheat like He Lingxuan, he would have to train for a while before reaching that form.

He had to maintain his Super Saiyan state during everyday life and training. If he kept that up over time, he would be able to master the Super Saiyan Full Power form.

Son Gohan was currently at that stage. According to He Lingxuan's assessment, Son Gohan's battle power was now close to two hundred million when transformed into a Super Saiyan.

In other words, his base power was already close to four million.

That was what brutal training under increased gravity, combined with Senzu Beans, could achieve.

That was the Saiyan way: given the right conditions, they could grow stronger without limit!

After thinking it over for a long time, He Lingxuan decided that once Son Gohan had more or less mastered Full Power Super Saiyan, they would leave the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and enjoy themselves for a while. Ever since arriving in this world, the intense sense of danger and insecurity had constantly driven He Lingxuan to grow stronger.

There was a saying for it: a fear of not having enough firepower.

Otherwise, given the current point in Dragon Ball's timeline, He Lingxuan would already be nearly invincible after training for just a month.

He could have left then; there would have been no need to wait until now. That was how deeply he felt his battle power was lacking.

After all, what was more satisfying than crushing an opponent in an evenly matched fight?

So, to He Lingxuan, enduring hardship for a while in exchange for a long stretch of carefree leisure afterward was well worth it.

And so, after training for about another month, He Lingxuan had adjusted the gravity on his Gravity Bracelet to 1,200 times. Combined with the environment's tenfold gravity, that meant he was enduring 12,000 times normal gravity.

That was 2,000 times more than the previous month, even though He Lingxuan had eased up on his training. Otherwise, he might have raised it by another few thousand times.

Son Gohan had nearly finished training in Super Saiyan Full Power, so after a full seven months of training, they were finally ready to leave.

Only fourteen hours had passed outside, but that was the incredible thing about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber!

"Gohan, let's go. It's time to head out."
