Realm Cultivation Method

After Karochi had his fill, he began to sleep soundly; only with proper rest could he conduct effective training. Just as Goku said in the original story: forcing oneself to train isn't cultivation, it's merely making things difficult for oneself.

He likely guessed the reason for his own viral heart disease. When Goku was young, he drank the Ultra Divine Water; while it stimulated his potential, it was unlike the gentle methods of the Grand Elder, and many died because they could not withstand the tyrannical medicinal power.

Furthermore, completing 100x gravity training in six days is impossible, even by Karochi's current standards, even though Goku already had a base power level of 8,000 at the time.

The torturous training methods left hidden injuries in his body; otherwise, with the powerful immune system of a Super Saiyan, what kind of formidable virus could have harmed Goku?

Goku, who trained in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber later on, must have realized this and found his own path. In the Other World, he surpassed Super Saiyan 2 in one go and achieved the Super Saiyan 3 transformation.

Looking at the mess in the room, Tights couldn't help but cover her head, but seeing Karochi sound asleep, she didn't disturb him and called a service robot to clean up.

Time flew by; the time spent on a journey always passes quickly. It had been over a year since the two left Earth.

Tights had blossomed into a graceful young woman; with her perfect figure and long golden hair, she had grown into a great beauty, unlike the short, professional haircut she had in the original story.

At this moment, she was sitting in the cockpit, drinking a beverage and watching Karochi, who was sitting upright in the Gravity Chamber. He had been sitting inside for a week, and the gravity was set to a staggering 500x.

"I don't know what the point of this kind of training is!" Tights muttered in confusion. This method of cultivation was vastly different from Karochi's previous approach.

Four years ago, Karochi would jump and bounce around in the Gravity Chamber, doing push-ups like it was child's play. Now, he would sit inside for a week at a time; if the monitor hadn't shown his physical state was fine, Tights would have thought he had passed away.

In truth, Karochi only discovered that physical improvement had become extremely difficult after he adapted to 500x gravity. It had taken him only a month to fully adapt from 200x to 500x.

However, his power level had only increased by a measly 80,000 to 90,000. Compared to his existing 2.1 million power level, the gain was too low. In contrast, the Realm Cultivation Method from Yardrat was much more effective.

Cultivating a realm to contain power, then using that power to stimulate physical strength—it was a perfect cycle. At the same time, under 500x gravity, Karochi could maintain a high level of focus for meditation.

Hummm!

A white light emanated from Karochi's entire body, but it did not disperse; it merely covered his skin, and he began to float off the ground.

Karochi's brows were tightly knit, as if he had reached a critical moment in his cultivation. At this moment, the entire spaceship began to vibrate, yet the alarm system showed no reaction.

"What's going on? That brat Karochi! Is he trying to blow up the ship?" Tights, who had been relaxing, lost her composure. She was genuinely afraid that this brat would forget where he was while training recklessly.

Just as she was about to get up and head to the Gravity Chamber, the shaking stopped. On the screen, Karochi opened his eyes, a look of frustration appearing between his brows.

"Don't tell me Husu gave me an incomplete cultivation method?" Karochi muttered to himself. He had reached a threshold in this realm cultivation.

Just as he wanted to make the next breakthrough, he found himself unable to make any progress. At this point, Karochi's power level had reached 3 million—the same as Goku's after he recovered from his severe injuries in the original story. Moreover, because he used his realm to contain his power, his power level always registered as 0 on a scouter.

Even an ordinary human on Earth would show a power level of 1, but Karochi showed 0. This was what he had achieved by bringing his realm cultivation to its current bottleneck. It placed no burden on his body, allowing him to perform enhanced transformations—though, of course, not a Super Saiyan one.

Ever since he hit a wall three months ago, Karochi had been trying to achieve the Super Saiyan transformation. Logically, a power level of 3 million should be enough; after all, that was the power level Goku had when he succeeded.

But perhaps it was because Krillin wasn't there to be sacrificed. Trying to break through that final wall by imagining the tragic death of his loved ones just didn't work; it always lacked a sense of reality.

He couldn't possibly be like Sasuke in Naruto, who only awakened his Sharingan after his entire clan was wiped out, could he? He wondered what kind of emotions Itachi felt when he shed those tears back then.

Slap! Karochi patted his face. If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't dwell on it. He would find time to go to Yardrat, show off his biceps, and ask for clarification.

Just then, the gravity in the chamber was turned off, and the hatch opened to reveal Tights standing at the door with an angry look on her face. Without a word, she walked in and, under Karochi's puzzled gaze, grabbed his ear.

"Ow! Tights, are you on your period? Why the hostility?" Karochi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had been in the Gravity Chamber the whole time, so he couldn't have provoked her. Besides, he really wanted to remind her to be a bit more mindful of her attire!

Tights was wearing a camisole and a pair of super-short shorts, perfectly displaying her beautiful legs. Regardless of his mental age, he was over eight years old—a prime age for a young man to be full of vigor!

Of course, that age applied to Saiyans. He thought to himself that wearing such revealing clothes, even if her upper assets were a bit lacking, was still not great.

But Karochi didn't dare say it out loud; if he did, he would surely be met with a flurry of slaps.

"You have the nerve to ask what's wrong? Can you be more careful when you train? We're in space! What would you have done if you accidentally blew up the ship just now?" Tights wasn't actually using much force; she knew that with her strength, she couldn't cause any real damage to Karochi.

That was why Tights usually went all out on him, kicking him or similar, but Karochi would be fine while she ended up hurting her own foot.

Ah, well, it wouldn't matter if the ship exploded; I have the [Vacuum Technique] and am not afraid of the space environment! Karochi thought to himself, but he definitely couldn't say that out loud. Otherwise, their "plastic" sibling relationship would be over, or at least result in a three-month cold war.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Tights. I'll be careful!" In truth, he had forgotten just now because he was anxious about being unable to break through the final bottleneck.

The most taboo thing about this Realm Cultivation Method was impatience. It wasn't like physical training, where pushing yourself could squeeze out more potential.

The Realm Cultivation Method felt like something from a cultivation novel. Come to think of it, would it be possible to ask Kami of Earth about this? Even though he was weak, he was still a genuine deity.

Hearing Karochi's defense, Tights stopped pulling his ear. She let go and walked away with a look of disgust. "Go, go, go! Go wash up! You stink. And how are you not hungry after staying in there for a week?"

Karochi hadn't been like this before; he used to roll on the ground if he missed a meal, and his stomach would growl. Now, he could go seven or eight days without eating.

Karochi sniffed himself. It didn't smell that bad, just a bit of sweat. As for why he didn't need to eat, it wasn't because he had achieved "Bigu" (fasting) like a celestial being through the Realm Cultivation Method.

It was an evolution of the Yardrat secret technique, [Vacuum Technique], that he had learned. Since energy could supply oxygen to his cells, it could naturally supply the energy his body needed as well.

This allowed Karochi to practice fasting like a Qi-refining cultivator in a fantasy novel while training. Of course, when he wasn't training, he would make up for the meals he had missed.

"Oh, that? I can use my own energy to satisfy my body's needs!" He added internally that he also didn't need to defecate.

Tights looked at Karochi in shock. Good grief, he's even more efficient than a Namekian! Even Namekians need to drink water to perform 'photosynthesis,' but you're completely self-sufficient.

"You're not human anymore, are you?" Karochi felt his skin crawl under Tights' gaze. He felt like she wanted to dissect him.

No, Tights must be concerned about me. We're like real siblings; she has feelings for me!

"Uh, Tights, I'm going to take a shower!" Karochi, feeling uncomfortable under her stare, made an excuse to slip away. After all these years, Tights' insatiable curiosity hadn't diminished in the slightest.

Splash!

Washing away the sweat accumulated over the week, Karochi felt much lighter. He had a feeling that if he could find a strong opponent, he might be able to perfectly break through to Super Saiyan.

As for where this feeling came from, it was naturally his knowledge of the plot. Regardless, he didn't care; if Goku could transform into a Super Saiyan at 3 million, he could definitely do it too.

It made no sense that a low-class warrior like him could pull it off, yet she, armed with the script, couldn't even get the ball rolling.

Tights watched Karochi gorging himself and couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't you capable of sustaining yourself? Why eat so much!?" She felt it was a bit of a waste of food.

Thump, thump, thump!

Karochi pounded his chest hard to help the food go down, then replied, "Sustaining myself with energy is nothing compared to the satisfaction of a good meal! Honestly, Tights, could you not ask such idiotic questions?"

It was only a few tons of food, for heaven's sake! What a stingy person. Tights couldn't help but roll her eyes, though she had to admit, watching Karochi eat like that was actually quite appetizing.

In truth, eating gourmet food wasn't always about filling one's stomach; the process of enjoying a meal could bring a person genuine fulfillment! If one needed a comparison, look no further than Beerus, the God of Destruction.

He was a true connoisseur of fine food; he didn't need to eat, yet he possessed exactly that kind of hobby!
