Cultivation

The training methods in Dragon Ball are quite peculiar.

Unlike in xianxia novels, there is no need for cultivation techniques or anything of the sort.

It is very simple: exercise!

How does one exercise?

Just like an ordinary person working out—push-ups, sit-ups, and the like.

Compared to that eye-based legend next door, the training methods in Dragon Ball are practically child's play.

Yet, they are simply powerful, capable of blowing up planets with ease.

Kaguya Otsutsuki would want to gouge her own eyes out just looking at it.

(ﾉ｀△´)ﾉ ┫:･'∵:.┻┻: What use is this Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan to me!

However.

Although the Dragon Ball training method is simple, it becomes a different story if you add gravity to the mix.

Mo Yuan pulled a little treasure from his pocket, pressed it, and tossed it out.

"Boom."

Amidst a swirl of smoke, a 200-square-meter building appeared out of thin air.

This was the Gravity Chamber, shrunk down inside a Hoi-Poi Capsule.

The tenfold gravity inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber posed no pressure for Mo Yuan.

Therefore, he had to rely on external forces.

Mo Yuan did not set the gravity multiplier too high all at once.

He first adjusted it to ten times.

Multiplied by the gravity inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, 100 times the gravity instantly poured down upon Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan felt his body suddenly sink, as if a mountain were pressing down upon him.

Even though he had been prepared, he was still forced to stagger under the weight.

Beside him, Lazuli only swayed slightly under the 100-fold gravity.

She adapted very quickly.

This showed just how powerful her strength was.

However, 100-fold gravity was still a bit low for Mo Yuan.

It only had a slight effect, nothing major.

Thus, Mo Yuan continued to increase the gravity.

When the gravity was adjusted to 20 times—that is, 200 times the gravity of Earth—Mo Yuan finally felt the pressure.

The immense weight made Mo Yuan feel as though he could barely straighten his back.

Beside him, Lazuli remained largely unaffected.

Although Lazuli was following along with the training, her first step was not to train under gravity like Mo Yuan.

Instead, it was to sense ki.

Ki is omnipresent; the human body also contains ki, just in varying amounts.

The first step of cultivation is to sense that ki.

Only once ki is sensed can training become effective.

Otherwise, no matter how much one trains, it would at most only strengthen the body.

Having never been exposed to martial arts, Lazuli, under Mo Yuan's guidance, quickly sensed the ki within her own body.

Lazuli gathered the ki in her hand; although this wisp of ki was minuscule compared to the energy already inside her, it was, after all, something she had cultivated herself, and a sense of joy couldn't help but rise in her heart.

The ki gathered in Lazuli's hand emitted a faint glimmer, as weak as the light of a firefly.

A strike with this amount of ki would likely only leave a small pit in the ground.

But this was the admission ticket to the path of martial arts.

Some people spend their entire lives without ever obtaining this ticket.

Moreover, Lazuli is different from ordinary people.

Her body, having undergone modification, is even more formidable than that of a Saiyan.

One could even say she is impervious to blades and bullets, fire and water.

Therefore, as long as she begins to train, it won't be long before she can possess formidable combat power based on her ki alone.

By then, with her ki added to the energy she already possessed within her body, I fear even Vegeta after a year of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber wouldn't be able to defeat her.

And so it was.

Mo Yuan and Lazuli were drenched in sweat within the Gravity Chamber.

Although it was just simple exercise like push-ups, it was exceptionally difficult under 200 times gravity.

Lazuli was doing fine; after all, 200 times gravity was nothing to her.

Mo Yuan, however, was struggling.

Every time he pushed up, it felt like he was lifting a massive mountain.

Almost every movement required every ounce of his strength.

Beads of crystal-clear sweat traced lines down his face, gathering at the tip of his nose before dripping onto the floor.

Mo Yuan gritted his teeth, enduring the soreness in his arms, and persisted through heavy, ragged breaths.

He didn't even understand why he was training so hard.

Was it to survive?

Or was it for something else?

He wasn't sure.

But deep down, he had a premonition that if he didn't strive to become stronger now, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Although the training was grueling, the results were significant.

Using his Mind's Eye, Mo Yuan saw the surrounding ki and primordial energy gathering, circling around him.

They were like loyal guards protecting their monarch.

Then, they entered his body in an orderly fashion, absorbed by his physique.

As the ki and primordial energy flowed into him, Mo Yuan felt his body grow warm, and the soreness in his muscles began to fade.

Mo Yuan also discovered that absorbing ki while training was far more efficient than absorbing it in isolation.

Furthermore, his body was becoming tougher through the repeated tempering of wear and repair.

Compared to Mo Yuan, Lazuli had it much easier.

With her strength, training under 200 times gravity was as simple as drinking water.

Not to mention, she possessed infinite stamina.

However, the scorching air of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber still left her drenched in sweat.

Her clothes were completely soaked through.

The wet fabric clung to her delicate frame, leaving her graceful figure fully exposed and perfectly accentuated.

It was a pity that, even though she was within the range of his Mind's Eye, Mo Yuan had no heart for such thoughts at the moment.

His mind was set solely on training and becoming stronger.

He hadn't even taken a close look at Lazuli.

Otherwise, he likely wouldn't have been able to focus on his training at all.

Time always passes quickly during training.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had been at it for several hours.

"Gurgle~~~"

The loud protest from Mo Yuan's stomach was exceptionally clear in the silent space.

Training for several hours under gravity consumed a massive amount of bodily energy.

The little he had eaten earlier was completely spent.

Hungry, Mo Yuan felt his body beginning to weaken.

He decided not to push himself further; after all, one had to be well-fed to train effectively.

Training required a gradual approach; it could not be achieved overnight.

Mo Yuan turned off the gravity, and he instantly felt a weight lift from his body.

He felt as if he were floating, his entire being light and airy.

After several hours of training, Mo Yuan felt the energy within him had increased by more than half, and his body had become tougher under the scouring of the primordial energy.

Moreover, he had nearly adapted to 200 times gravity; he could appropriately increase it a bit more for his next session.

After finishing the training, Lazuli discovered a serious problem.

"Xiao Yuan, there are no clothes here to change into."

After training for half a day, their clothes were soaked through, and their bodies felt sticky and uncomfortable.

Lazuli wanted nothing more than a nice, relaxing bath right now.

However, she only had one set of clothes.

She couldn't very well put the same outfit back on after washing up.

To Mo Yuan, this was hardly a problem at all.

Mo Yuan looked toward Lazuli, just about to say something, when—

≖‿≖✧

Temptation of the Drenched

o(////▽////)q Is this really something I can watch for free without a subscription?

Her soaked clothes clung tightly to Lazuli's skin, outlining her graceful figure.

Though the view ahead wasn't exactly mountainous, it was perfectly proportioned against her willow-thin waist.

Her face, flushed and slightly dazed from the stifling heat, was like a rosebud on the verge of blooming, delicate and dripping with allure.

Mo Yuan couldn't help but stare, completely dazed.
