"I'm coming, Brother He Lingxuan!"

From his excited tone, it was clear that Son Gohan still held high expectations for heading out, though after witnessing the brutal scenes within the illusion, it was certain that no matter what, he would never slack off on his training in the future.

With that, the two of them, one large and one small, stepped out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber together.

The moment they stepped out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, He Lingxuan and Son Gohan felt a refreshing sensation wash over them!

Normal ambient temperature, normal gravity, and a gentle breeze—these were all things the Hyperbolic Time Chamber lacked.

He Lingxuan and Son Gohan stretched in unison, letting out comfortable groans.

"Finally out! I suddenly feel so relaxed!"

Son Gohan sighed, then turned his gaze toward He Lingxuan, whose hair was disheveled and clothes were somewhat tattered, and asked, "Don't you think so, Brother He Lingxuan?"

"Mm, it certainly feels much lighter."

He Lingxuan felt the gravity, which was ten times lighter, and the suddenly relaxed environment, revealing a relieved expression.

However, realizing the situation the next moment, He Lingxuan immediately cranked his Gravity Bracelet up to 10,000 times.

Although this was 2,000 times less than what he had endured in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, this was the gravity He Lingxuan intended to maintain in his daily life, trying his best to fully adapt until it felt no different from normal gravity.

Turning his head to see Son Gohan's disheveled state, he looked down at himself and realized he didn't look much better.

"Gohan, let's go wash up first. We're a bit too filthy; I have spare clothes here."

With a sweep of his mental energy, He Lingxuan discovered a bathing area at Kami's Lookout; he didn't know why it was there, but it was enough that it existed.

After a quick wash and change of clothes, He Lingxuan used his precise control over the Yuan-Devouring Scabbard to condense a blade of energy, trimming both of their hair. The brand-new duo then left Kami's Lookout separately; Son Gohan headed home, while He Lingxuan planned to go out and enjoy himself.

Arriving high above the city, he looked down at the bustling metropolis; despite it being night, it was still brightly lit.

This made He Lingxuan feel as if he had returned to Earth, and although this was indeed Earth, it was vastly different from his previous life.

Descending at high speed into an alleyway, He Lingxuan walked out slowly.

"I should find a hotel to stay the night and deal with everything else in the morning."

As he thought this, his gaze quickly locked onto a high-rise building named the Royal Grand Hotel.

He began to walk forward; though the few hundred meters were short, he walked slowly, as if witnessing the span of a human life.

An infant being pushed in a stroller by parents, a teenager holding their parents' hands, a young adult alone, sipping a drink while pondering work.

A middle-aged couple seemingly being arranged on a blind date, an elderly couple bickering on the roadside, yet acting exceptionally sweet.

All of this seemed to form a closed loop—the closed loop of an ordinary person's life in human society.

Not asking for great wealth or status, but hoping for few disasters, a modest family, children, and healthy parents—perhaps this was the life every normal person craved.

Unfortunately, this was a life only a minority possessed; most people were just cogs in the machine of society, living lives of immense hardship.

Perhaps having a good appearance or a sharp mind could make life easier, but it was also destined to bring more trials.

In his previous life, it was because his appearance was too beautiful—yes, for a man, his appearance could be described as beautiful—that he had suffered all sorts of injustices and hardships, memories of which remained fresh even now.

That was why he craved power and lacked a sense of security; otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Son Gohan into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train, even with such a powerful system at his disposal.

Even now, possessing power capable of destroying the world, He Lingxuan felt an inner restlessness—a sense of unease from having no place to call home, as if the world would be the same whether he existed or not.

When he first transmigrated to the Dragon Ball World, his primary concern was how to survive. Later, once he had strength, He Lingxuan had considered the path of those predecessor transmigrators—gathering women and building a harem.

But the current He Lingxuan was truly lost. He possessed immense power but lacked a clear goal—or perhaps he did: to keep growing stronger so he would never be bullied or oppressed again!

Walking to the entrance of the Royal Grand Hotel, He Lingxuan couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling the strength of his body and his ki, while simultaneously scanning the area with his mental energy.

It was as if he were worried about something, terrified that the power he currently possessed was a lie.

Walking into the Royal Grand Hotel, he tossed a stack of money at the receptionist and demanded the best room available. As he headed upstairs, the attendant immediately followed to introduce the hotel's features before leading the way.

After being brought to the luxury suite on the top floor, the attendant opened the door, placed the key on the table, and left, closing the door behind him.

Glancing at the room's layout, He Lingxuan collapsed onto the soft sofa, his body sinking into it.

"System, open the panel."

[Infinite Upgrade System] [Host: He Lingxuan] [Age: 19] [World: Dragon Ball World (???)] [Combat Power: 13 billion (Can be increased; currently suppressed to about 3 billion due to 10,000x gravity. Strength is constantly rising under the pressure of 10,000x gravity; currently at the third magnitude)] [Mental Power: 5 million (Can be increased)] [Talent: Top-Tier Saiyan Bloodline (Cannot be increased), Top-Tier Physique Talent (Cannot be increased; all physical consumption reduced by 300%, defense increased by 1000%, recovery ability increased by 1000%, possesses the ability to regenerate severed limbs, energy storage increased by 100%, toxin resistance increased by 1000%...), Humanoid Great Ape Transformation (Cannot be increased; can increase combat power by ten times)] [Technique: Micro-Control (Usage of one's own power has reached nearly perfect 100%; can be increased)] [Skills: Immortality +1 (Cannot be increased), Yuan-Devouring Scabbard +1 (Can be increased), Omni-Vibration +10 (Can be increased), Ki Blast +3 (Can be increased), Ki Wave +3 (Can be increased), Flight Technique +3 (Can be increased), Kaioken (Can be increased), Advanced Psychokinesis (Can be increased), Ability Theft (Cannot be increased)]

``` [Upgrade Points: 1,050,100 (Due to system settings, defeating original characters each month grants points: Tier 1 yields 100 points, Tier 2 yields 10,000 points, and Tier 3 yields 1,000,000 points. Defeating Son Gohan seven times in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber resulted in 100 points for the first battle at Tier 1, 50,000 points for the next five months at Tier 2, and 1,000,000 points for the final month upon successfully transforming into a Super Saiyan at Tier 3.)]

[Items: Son Gohan Skill Pack *3 (Due to system settings, there is a very low probability of obtaining a skill pack when defeating original characters. The first victory guarantees a drop; over the seven months of defeating Son Gohan, only two additional skill packs dropped beyond the guaranteed first one.)]

Scanning his panel, He Lingxuan finally turned his gaze toward the three skill packs in his inventory that had dropped after defeating Son Gohan in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

"I have to say, the drop rate is truly abysmal, but this isn't bad at all. System, open the Son Gohan skill packs."

"Ding, opening now..."

Seeing what he had obtained, He Lingxuan's pupils dilated as he muttered to himself, "What the hell is there to be confused about now!"
