Gaino's Training Method

Gaino mentioned training them, and their hearts were filled with joy, especially the warrior Bardock, who appeared the most excited.

Bardock said, "The King is going to lead our training personally? That's fantastic! So, when do we start?"

Seeing Bardock's expression, Gaino thought to himself, He really is a martial arts fanatic obsessed with training. Kakarot was also obsessed with martial arts later on; he must have inherited this advantage from Bardock. Although Bardock is a low-class warrior, he gradually became a high-class warrior through his own efforts. This goes to show that talent doesn't determine one's final achievements; only through constant effort can one become the person standing at the peak.

Gaino said, "The training starts now. Everyone has a Gravity Chamber in their home. Go back, enter your Gravity Chamber, and set the gravity to 20 times normal. Adapting to that gravity is the first step."

Hearing this, everyone finally understood why a Gravity Chamber had been built in every home; so that was the reason! It seemed the King was truly far-sighted.

After bowing slightly to Gaino, Bardock hurried back to his home. Seeing Bardock's impatient demeanor, Gaino shook his head.

After all the Saiyans had returned, Laiya appeared beside Gaino and said, "Brother Gaino, the gravity of Planet Saiyan is ten times that of Earth. Our previous ships were calibrated to Earth's gravity, and the current Gravity Chambers are based on Planet Saiyan's gravity. Can they withstand such weight?"

"No," Gaino said.

"But there is one person who can withstand this level of gravity."

"Oh? Who is it? Is it Dad or Mom?"

Gaino shook his head.

"It's not them? But Dad and Mom are elite-class warriors! Who else could withstand such gravitational pressure besides them?"

Gaino said slowly, "The warrior Bardock."

"Bardock? You mean Bardock can withstand the gravitational pressure?"

"Yes, Bardock. Laiya, Bardock's current strength isn't much to speak of, but as he develops, his cultivation speed will become faster and faster. Who knows, he might even catch up to you."

Laiya said, "Impossible. How could Bardock catch up to me? I can transform into a Super Saiyan now; he is still far from being able to do that! His base combat power hasn't even reached that level yet, so how could he possibly catch up to me?"

"Laiya, don't be blindly confident. Anything is possible. Bardock's pursuit of strength surpasses all other Saiyans; that fanaticism is carved into his very bones. That is why we must continue to work hard."

"I shouldn't let others surpass me, or else where would I put the face of the King of the Saiyans?"

Laiya covered her mouth and laughed, "So Brother Gaino has times when he is afraid too? Why are you so reluctant to give up this throne of the Saiyans?"

"How could I be greedy for such things! My goal is to become the strongest powerhouse in the entire universe. These worldly things are nothing but passing clouds. Once I reach a certain level of strength, I will abdicate this throne and go on to pursue new heights."

Laiya said, "I know Brother Gaino wouldn't be greedy for 'such things.' I was just teasing you!"

"Brother Gaino, sense it—most people haven't been able to withstand the 20-fold gravitational pressure. Hey, you were right! Bardock really did withstand the 20-fold gravitational pressure."

Gaino and Laiya sensed Bardock's energy together.

Back at Bardock's home, inside the Gravity Chamber, Bardock was drenched in sweat. His body was bent under the pressure of the gravity, but he held on. Bardock's face was flushed red, and he used every ounce of his strength to resist the immense crushing force. Slowly, his waist straightened, and finally, he stood upright.

Laiya sensed everything about Bardock. It seemed this Bardock was truly not to be underestimated; he had actually withstood such powerful pressure. She remembered that during her first gravity training, she had been so suppressed that walking was difficult. How could Bardock adapt to the pressure of the Gravity Chamber in such a short time?

Brother Gaino was right. Although she could transform into a Super Saiyan now, she couldn't avoid the possibility of a latecomer surpassing her. She had to work hard. Since coming to Planet Saiyan, Laiya hadn't trained much.

Bardock straightened his body and began to walk forward slowly, step by step. As time passed, the frequency of his steps increased, and eventually, he began throwing punches and kicks. Gaino sensed Bardock's situation and said, "It seems Bardock has already adapted to the 20-fold gravitational pressure."

He then said to Laiya, "Laiya, everyone else is training, so let's go train too! Planet Saiyan isn't suitable for our cultivation; let's go somewhere else."

"Alright! I haven't really trained since I came to Planet Saiyan. Brother Gaino, let's go quickly!"

"Let's go." As soon as he finished speaking, Gaino and Laiya vanished from the spot.

They arrived at a desolate planet. Here, Gaino and Laiya directly activated their Gravity Technique. Gaino released 100 times the gravitational pressure, while Laiya released 70 times; she didn't want to be pressed flat, as that would be embarrassing.

When Gaino and Laiya activated their Gravity Technique, the surface beneath them cracked instantly; the ground could not withstand such powerful pressure.

The pressure weighed down on Gaino. He felt it and decided that 100-fold gravity was acceptable—just right for training—and immediately began.

He started by running and jumping to warm up, then began to release his energy and started his punch and kick training.

Laiya watched Gaino and thought, What a freak. He can handle 100-fold gravitational pressure so easily, while 70-fold is already making me feel very uncomfortable. Sigh, as expected, Brother Gaino is still so formidable.

She decided to focus on adapting to this 70-fold gravitational pressure. Laiya began to walk forward; with every step, a deep footprint appeared beneath her feet. This powerful pressure caused the cells within Laiya's body to constantly change, a transformation toward the full power of Super Saiyan 1.

On this planet, a day passed quietly without them noticing. When Gaino stopped his training, the sky had already turned from day to dark.

"It's already night. I suppose it's time to go back. Laiya, let's return." Gaino turned his head and saw that Laiya had fallen asleep leaning against a large rock. It seemed this little girl was exhausted today.

Gaino picked up Laiya and used Instant Transmission to return to Planet Saiyan. He carried Laiya directly to her room, placed her on the bed, and then went to find Dr. Laika. He wanted Dr. Laika to study the Senzu Bean to see if it could be cultivated using technology.
