The Hyperbolic Time Chamber

As soon as the door to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber opened, Mo Yuan felt a wave of scorching air rush toward him.

Stepping into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Mo Yuan and Lazuli felt their bodies sink.

Ten times the gravity is not as simple as merely adding ten times one's own body weight in external loads.

The effect of gravity is total, acting not just on the surface of the body.

It includes the internal organs, or rather, it acts upon every single cell within the body.

In other words, gravity can train every cell in the body, which is why training under high gravity yields twice the result with half the effort.

This is far beyond what weighted training can compare to; after all, weighted training only exercises the surface muscles and cannot reach the internal organs, let alone every individual cell.

The interior was almost identical to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in Mo Yuan's memories: ten times the gravity, temperatures ranging from fifty degrees to negative forty, and thin air only one-quarter as dense as that on the ground.

There was also this vast, white, silent expanse with no distinction between day and night.

This is not just a test of the body, but a test of one's mental fortitude.

For those with weak willpower, even if their bodies could withstand it, their minds would likely collapse.

However, for Mo Yuan, these things were nothing.

He did not need to worry about the air at all.

After all, he possessed Frieza's cells, allowing him to survive in space; even without air, it would not matter.

As for the temperature, at least for now, the fifty-degree heat had no effect on him.

As for the mental aspect, there was even less need to worry; he had spent a year in an underground laboratory, motionless and enduring.

At least now he could move, and besides...

Mo Yuan noticed the storage room to the side, which was piled high with food.

He had to remember that he hadn't eaten anything for a year; he had thought about having a massive feast once he got out.

But he never had the chance.

Now, he finally had the time to eat.

However, too little pressure is not a good thing; it is unhelpful for cultivation.

Cultivation requires one to forge ahead against the current; only with greater pressure can one unleash more powerful strength.

Mo Yuan couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had gone to West City to get the gravity room first.

Otherwise, relying solely on the environment within this Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he feared it wouldn't have caused him much pressure.

Since there weren't enough difficulties, he would create them for himself.

After adapting slightly to the ten times gravity, he could no longer feel any pressure.

But what about one hundred times?

What about one thousand times?

One must know that the gravity room Bulma created could reach 500 times gravity.

And within this Hyperbolic Time Chamber, the effect is multiplied by ten.

It reaches a staggering 5,000 times the gravity of Earth.

Mo Yuan didn't dare guarantee that in the one year spent in this Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he could truly train himself to withstand 5,000 times gravity.

Beyond all this, what surprised Mo Yuan the most was that the concentration of primordial energy in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was immense.

It even exceeded the concentration of energy in the outside world.

It could be said that training in a place filled with such primordial energy, even if one couldn't actively absorb it, the energy would subtly improve the body through every breath one took.

If that were the case, Mo Yuan could understand why training in this mere ten-times-gravity environment achieved results that even 500 times gravity in the outside world couldn't match.

Like in the original story, before Gohan entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, his combat power wasn't enough to transform into a Super Saiyan—meaning he hadn't reached the minimum threshold of 3 million.

Yet after training for a year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, his combat power soared, not only reaching the full-power Super Saiyan state but even surpassing Son Goku by a margin.

Aside from his own immense potential, the primordial energy here likely played a significant role.

And for Mo Yuan, it went without saying.

He could absorb primordial energy himself; being here was like a dragon returning to the sea or a fish back in water.

With this energy, Mo Yuan was even more confident in dealing with Cell and Vegeta.

Thinking of this, an excited smile appeared on Mo Yuan's face.

"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

Lazuli looked at the excited Mo Yuan, feeling puzzled.

This godforsaken place not only had thin air and ten times the gravity, but the temperature was also scorching.

It couldn't help but make her feel a bit irritable.

Mo Yuan nodded happily and said, "Yes! This place is fantastic! In a year, I will definitely become very strong!"

"By the way, sister, you should be able to cultivate, right?"

Mo Yuan suddenly realized that the power of the Androids was derived from modification.

It was not something cultivated through personal effort.

Although the Old Bird had once claimed that Androids could cultivate, the Old Bird was just a manga artist—what the hell did he know about Dragon Ball?

Lazuli tilted her head, pondering for a moment.

"I don't know; I have never cultivated before."

Lazuli was originally just an ordinary human girl who had never been exposed to martial arts.

The power in her body only existed because she had been modified by Dr. Gero.

Although Dr. Gero had implanted some combat-related memories into them, Lazuli remained in a state of confusion regarding how to actually cultivate.

"Then let's give it a try after we eat!"

Mo Yuan looked toward the storage room nearby, his mind drifting to the delicious delicacies of his past life.

He could barely stop himself from drooling.

"Eat?"

Ever since Dr. Gero had turned her into an Android, Lazuli hadn't eaten a single bite of food, drinking nothing but water at most.

Because they no longer needed food to maintain their bodily functions.

Having gone years without eating, she had almost forgotten the taste of food.

Seeing Mo Yuan, a fellow Android, actually come up with the idea of eating, Lazuli found it very strange.

However, Mo Yuan could no longer restrain himself.

He trotted on his short legs toward the storage room.

Before long, he emerged from the storage room, carrying a pile of food even larger than his own body.

Although Mo Yuan had been a landlord in his past life, never worrying about food, drink, or money, he had taught himself excellent culinary skills because he was an orphan with no one to rely on.

While he couldn't compare to professional chefs, he was still far better than the average person.

Ki in Dragon Ball was practically omnipotent.

Mo Yuan used his ki to condense a blade in one hand and transformed his other hand into a flame, beginning to roast a leg of lamb that was nearly as big as he was.

His blade never rested, slicing through the skin and meat of the lamb before he brushed on the sauce he had just prepared.

As the flames licked the meat, the lamb sizzled, its fat rendering out as the spices Mo Yuan applied blended with the aroma of the meat to create a unique, rich fragrance.

The scent slowly permeated the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Although Lazuli found it strange that Mo Yuan knew how to cook, the moment she smelled that rich aroma, her stomach, which hadn't felt hunger in years, suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

This change pleasantly surprised Lazuli, as she suddenly felt as if she had become a normal human being again.

Feeling hunger, feeling fatigue...

Mo Yuan separated the meat from the bone of the roasted lamb, broke it into small pieces, and placed them in a large basin.

He also prepared some vegetables as a side dish.

Once everything was finished, he saw Lazuli not far away, staring intently at the food on the table.

Her eyes conveyed a single word...

Hungry!

It was kind of cute!

"Big sister, come and eat."

Startled by Mo Yuan's shout, Lazuli snapped back to reality. Realizing she had lost her composure, a blush crept onto her cheeks.
