Gaino Teaches Qi Control

In truth, everyone had been looking forward to the spectacular duel between Broly and Bardock, but since Gaino had called a halt, no one had any objections.

The others were unaware that Broly could not control the ki within his body, so they felt no sense of crisis. If Broly were to fall into a state of madness, he would not distinguish between friend and foe; his mind would be flooded with the intent to kill, and only constant slaughter could release the power pent up inside him.

Seeing Broly's eyes turn white, Gaino knew that Broly had lost control, so he stopped the attack in time; otherwise, Bardock might have been killed by Broly.

Seeing Broly being carried away by Gaino, Bardock felt quite discouraged. Gaino noticed Bardock's expression and said to him, "Once Broly can control the ki within his body, I will let you and Broly have a match."

Upon hearing this, Bardock's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Good, then I will wait for that day."

"Rest assured! That day will come very soon."

Gaino carried Broly toward his castle, with Laiya following behind. After seeing Gaino and Laiya enter the castle, everyone dispersed and returned to their rooms to train.

Gaino placed Broly on his bed and said to Laiya, "Laiya, it seems it will take some time for Broly to control the ki in his body. I was too impatient with this matter."

Laiya said to Gaino, "Brother Gaino, Broly is still young, so it is understandable that he cannot control the ki within him for the time being. Don't be too anxious. Have you forgotten? We learned how to guide the circulation of ki while on Earth. You could try that method."

"That's right!" Gaino slapped his thigh and said, "How could I have forgotten that method? When we were on Earth, the ki in our bodies was also chaotic, and it was Master Roshi who taught us how to guide it."

"After a period of training, the ki in our bodies began to flow smoothly, and we became quite capable in battle. I can teach this training method to Broly—no, not just Broly, but all the Saiyans."

"Exactly! We can teach all the Saiyans how to master the cultivation of ki."

Gaino said, "Laiya, I didn't realize you were so smart! How did I never notice before?"

"Then how did I never notice you were so strong before? You couldn't even sense ki back then, but after executing one mission, ki appeared in your body, and you became exceptionally powerful. It's truly baffling."

"Perhaps I stimulated the potential within my body while executing that mission," Gaino said.

"Is that so?" Laiya stared straight at Gaino, looking very skeptical.

"It's true! That mission was extremely dangerous, and I was severely injured. You know that Saiyans become stronger every time they are hurt. I sensed the existence of ki when I was on the verge of death."

Hearing that Gaino had nearly perished during his last mission, Laiya hurriedly asked, "So that mission you went on alone was that dangerous? Let me see if you have any lingering internal injuries."

"I'm fine, Laiya. Although it was dangerous, didn't I turn a misfortune into a blessing?"

In truth, the "blessing" Gaino referred to was the Ancient Saiyan Bloodline he had acquired, though Laiya was unaware of this.

"Yes, you only sensed the existence of ki after nearly dying."

As Gaino and Laiya were talking, Broly woke up. He opened his eyes, clutched his head, and said, "Ah, my head hurts so much!" He shook his head vigorously.

"You're awake, Broly."

Broly's gaze followed the voice toward Gaino and he said, "Brother Gaino, did I lose control again?"

"Yes, you lost control again, but you didn't do anything too terrible. I stopped you in time."

"Is it that I can't control the ki in my body?" Broly felt a bit discouraged.

"How could you not? Starting today, I will teach you the training and control of ki."

"Really? That's great! Let's start right away, Brother Gaino."

Gaino turned to Laiya and said, "Laiya, notify everyone to come out and receive new training."

"Alright, I'll go right now." As soon as Laiya finished speaking, she vanished.

"Get up, you can't just keep lounging on my bed." Gaino walked toward the door.

Broly hurriedly got up and chased after him.

Gaino walked out of his castle, arrived at the Training Ground, and said to all the Saiyans, "Today, I am going to teach you the cultivation of ki."

"Although you all have ki in your bodies, sense it for yourselves—isn't the ki within you chaotic and disorganized?"

Everyone sensed it, and Bum said, "Yes, although we have vast amounts of ki in our bodies, it lacks any pattern and is very chaotic."

"That's exactly it. When ki is too chaotic, your stamina is depleted very quickly during battle. We Saiyans worship violence, so when we encounter an enemy, we just fire off a few energy blasts for indiscriminate bombing. Such battles are completely meaningless."

"Therefore, mastering your ki is extremely important."

"Now, follow my lead and sit cross-legged. Sense the ki in your body, then let it flow slowly through your body, from head to toe, from left to right."

Everyone followed Gaino's lead and began to sense it slowly. As time passed, everyone's ki became steady. It seemed this training was very effective.

Gaino watched Broly's situation and saw that the violent ki within Broly's body was gradually becoming steady.

To get what you want, you must put in the corresponding effort; success cannot be achieved overnight.

One day, three months later.

All the Saiyans stood in the Training Ground. Standing there, they looked just like ordinary people; their internal ki was restrained. It made one wonder if the Saiyans had changed their nature. Had they really changed their temperament? The bellicose, irritable Saiyans no longer seemed to have their former edge.

Seeing this result, Gaino was very satisfied. It seemed everyone had gained a new understanding of ki.

Especially Bardock and Broly, whose ki was restrained to the extreme. If measured with an energy detector, their combat power would be zero—not even reaching the level of a "power level 5 loser." But if you thought that, you would be dead wrong.

Gaino said to them, "It seems everyone has mastered the ki in your bodies, so next is combat training."

Hearing "combat training," green light flashed in the eyes of Broly and Bardock.

"Combat is something I think everyone knows, but your fighting techniques are too crude. If you encounter a master, your moves will be full of openings, and you will be defeated by your opponent in a single strike."
