Ever since Son Goku and the others arrived, the Lookout had become much livelier.

Trunks ultimately suppressed the urge in his heart and entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Vegeta to train.

Vegeta had been soundly beaten by Lapis twice in a row, and he had been nursing a grudge ever since.

Before they went in, Mo Yuan handed the Gravity Chamber over to Trunks, which could be considered returning it to its rightful owner.

As for how much he could utilize the Gravity Chamber to improve his training, that would depend on his own fortune.

(Regarding the Gravity Chamber, it is just a small cheat I gave the protagonist. Everyone shouldn't get hung up on whether gravity can be stacked inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. The protagonist is different from Son Goku and the others; the reason they could skyrocket in strength so quickly is mainly due to their years of accumulation. How much accumulation could the protagonist have, being someone who was just born?)

After Trunks and Vegeta entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, the others did not remain idle.

Son Goku took Gohan to train.

Meanwhile, Mo Yuan was teaching Lazuli and Lapis how to use Instant Transmission.

Lapis had a tremendous interest in Instant Transmission.

One had to know, Son Goku had used this ability to catch him off guard several times, and had even nearly defeated him with it in the end.

However, it was a pity that no matter how Mo Yuan taught him, Lapis could not sense spatial energy.

Son Goku even came over to comfort him, saying that it had taken him over half a year just to sense spatial energy, and then another half a year to barely master the skill.

According to Son Goku, his own spatial talent was not high; he could only use this ability for traveling, and could only barely manage it in combat to achieve a surprise effect.

As for those with high spatial talent, they didn't need to capture ki every time they used Instant Transmission like he did; they could use it as they pleased.

As for how that was achieved, he himself didn't know, as he hadn't reached that realm yet.

After hearing Son Goku's words, Mo Yuan had a sudden realization.

No wonder such a powerful ability as Instant Transmission was reduced to a mere travel skill in Dragon Ball; it turned out Son Goku's talent simply wasn't enough.

One must realize that the time-based ability of the same level as spatial power, Hit's Time Skip, shone brilliantly in combat.

There was no reason why spatial power couldn't be used as a standard combat technique.

When Lapis heard Son Goku say this, he wasn't as keen on the Instant Transmission technique anymore.

He decided to just let it be.

However, to everyone's surprise, Lazuli managed to sense spatial energy under Mo Yuan's guidance in just one hour.

And even more unexpectedly, Lazuli, like Mo Yuan, could sense the spatial nodes around her.

Although her range wasn't as vast as Mo Yuan's Mind's Eye, and she couldn't take in everything within that range like he could, she was still able to sense the spatial nodes within her vicinity.

It was equivalent to a budget version of the Mind's Eye.

But this was still incredibly impressive, as it meant Lazuli could fully integrate Instant Transmission into her combat.

She didn't need to rely on ki to lock onto spatial nodes; she could use Instant Transmission at will as long as they were within her perception range.

Having obtained her new ability, Lazuli began to play around happily.

Watching Lazuli's figure flickering all over the Lookout, Lapis and the father-son duo of Son Goku and Gohan all wore expressions of envy.

Especially Lapis; the tears of envy couldn't help but flow from the corners of his mouth.

Unfortunately, if you don't have the talent, you just don't have it.

It couldn't be forced.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Lapis went off to spar with Mr. Popo.

After fighting Son Goku, Lapis realized that his combat experience was still too lacking.

He was clearly so much stronger than Son Goku, yet he had almost flipped the car.

Seeing Lapis sparring with Mr. Popo, Son Goku couldn't sit still either.

He took the initiative to invite Mo Yuan to train together.

Mo Yuan was also very curious about how much his actual combat ability differed from Son Goku's.

So, he agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that Mo Yuan and Son Goku were about to spar, the others gathered around to watch.

The two assumed their stances, confronting each other in mid-air.

Son Goku was still the same old Son Goku.

He couldn't break the bad habit of liking to test his opponent.

Son Goku didn't transform immediately; he didn't yet know what Mo Yuan's combat power was, so he prepared to test the waters first.

Mo Yuan's base combat power was 600 million.

While Son Goku's base combat power was only 15 million.

Every move and stance he made looked far too slow in Mo Yuan's eyes.

It felt like sparring with a newborn infant.

Mo Yuan kicked Son Goku back. "Transform, Goku. This kind of probing is meaningless."

"Hahaha, you really are strong, Mo Yuan." Son Goku laughed.

Although the previous probing didn't reveal exactly how high Mo Yuan's combat power was, Son Goku felt it shouldn't be much worse than his own after transforming.

"Watch yourself."

As he spoke, Son Goku's gaze turned sharp.

A golden aura swirled around his entire body, instantly shifting him into his Super Saiyan form.

After transforming, Son Goku's combat power soared directly from 15 million to 750 million.

A terrifying aura vented out mercilessly.

Even Mo Yuan felt a hint of pressure.

"Ha!!"

Mo Yuan also unleashed his energy, a purple aura erupting from his body.

His combat power of 600 million exploded forth without reservation.

His powerful aura stood toe-to-toe with Son Goku's.

"So strong!"

Mo Yuan's aura moved Son Goku.

Even though his combat power was slightly lower than his own, his aura was not the least bit weaker.

It was too strange.

The terrifying aura caused the heavens and earth to change color.

The once bright sky was suddenly shrouded in heavy, dark clouds.

"Crack!"

A massive peal of thunder sounded the horn for battle.

Mo Yuan and Son Goku rushed toward each other as if they had agreed upon it beforehand.

"Boom!"

Mo Yuan and Son Goku's fists collided.

The immense power created a vacuum zone in the surrounding area.

"Ah! Da! Da! Da! Da!!!"

Son Goku shouted.

His hands and feet turned into afterimages, slamming toward Mo Yuan, each strike carrying immense power.

"Well come!"

Mo Yuan shouted in excitement.

He loved battles like this.

When fighting Mr. Popo, he had to suppress his own strength, and Mr. Popo's combat instincts were so strong that he always felt restricted.

When fighting Lapis, Lapis's combat techniques were a cut below his own; unless Lapis used greater combat power, he would always be the one suppressing him.

But Son Goku's strength was similar to his, yet his combat experience was slightly superior—this kind of battle was just right for Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan's reactions were not slow at all, and he immediately began trading blows with Son Goku.

However, the combat ability Son Goku had honed through countless life-and-death struggles was truly formidable.

He was able to strike Mo Yuan from tricky angles every time.

But this was also because Mo Yuan was not using his Mind's Eye.

Otherwise, under the insight of the Mind's Eye, unless Son Goku's speed was so fast that Mo Yuan couldn't dodge, he wouldn't be able to hit him easily at all.

Yet, Son Goku was surprised to find that Mo Yuan's combat techniques were improving at a terrifying speed.

At the beginning, Son Goku could hit him five or six times out of ten attacks, but now he could only land one or two.

Mo Yuan was like a sponge, frantically absorbing this precious combat experience.

"Ha!"

Mo Yuan smashed his elbow toward Son Goku's chest.

Son Goku dared not take it head-on; he pressed down on Mo Yuan's arm with one hand and used the leverage to flip behind him.

Just as Son Goku prepared to attack Mo Yuan's back, a massive force whipped against his body.

Mo Yuan's tail, acting like a thick, sturdy whip, lashed out with terrifying force and struck Son Goku hard.

"Snap!"

Son Goku plummeted from the sky like a meteor.

Just as he was about to collide with the Lookout, Son Goku exerted force throughout his entire body, coming to an abrupt halt in mid-air as if he had slammed on the brakes.

After steadying himself, Son Goku looked up and locked eyes with Mo Yuan.

Endless fighting spirit erupted from their eyes.

"Crack!"

Two invisible bolts of lightning shot from their gazes and collided with one another.
