Lookout Cultivation

Kast looked upward. He did not leave Karin Tower, but instead flew toward the Lookout above.

I must learn to sense ki, and I need martial arts training.

Compared to his own physical conditioning, the martial arts theories on Earth were far more advanced, and no one understood martial arts better than the Guardian of Earth residing on the Lookout.

As he continued to ascend rapidly, the Lookout slowly appeared before his eyes.

"So this is the Heavenly Realm."

Upon arriving at the Lookout, a circular plaza came into view, lined with coconut trees on both sides. Two figures stood in the very center.

"You must be the Guardian of Earth."

Landing on the plaza, Kast set aside the Senzu Bean he had wrapped in ki, then spoke to the elderly man with green skin leaning on a staff.

"Yes... that is correct."

The Guardian of Earth broke into a cold sweat, looking at Kast with a sense of bewilderment as he answered.

Seeing the Guardian's nervousness, Kast offered reassurance: "Please, rest easy. I come with no ill intent. I am here only to learn martial arts and the sensing of external ki from you; I have no intention of causing harm to you or the Earth."

"Martial arts?"

Hearing Kast's words, the Guardian sensed the energy hidden within him and said with some surprise: "From what I perceive, the energy within you is already immense. There is no one on this Earth who could be your match. Even so, do you still require martial arts training?"

"Yes!"

Kast stated solemnly: "Although my current strength is indeed formidable for this planet, in the vastness of the universe, I am nothing more than a grunt—hardly worth mentioning."

"Furthermore, I believe you are aware that I am not a human of this planet. I am a Saiyan, named Kast, belonging to a warrior race from the cosmos. While I possess raw power, I lack refinement in technique."

Pausing for a moment, Kast continued.

"Yet, while the people of this planet may not be powerful in force, their techniques are well worth learning."

After listening to Kast's explanation, the Guardian of Earth was silent for a moment before agreeing.

"Very well. I sense no evil aura from you, and from your demeanor, I can tell you speak the truth. Since you have the heart to learn, I will teach you."

With that, the Guardian turned his head to the attendant beside him and said: "Mr. Popo, you shall first teach Kast to master the capture and sensing of ki. Once Kast can skillfully grasp the capture of ki, contact me for the next stage of training."

Having said this, the Guardian leaned on his staff and walked back into the palace, leaving Kast and Mr. Popo standing in the hall.

"Then I shall trouble you, Mr. Popo." Kast cupped his hands toward Mr. Popo in a gesture of greeting.

"No, no need for thanks. Since it is the instruction of the Guardian, Mr. Popo will assist you with your training." Waving his hands repeatedly, Mr. Popo walked over to Kast and handed him a blindfold.

"Then let us begin our training. First step: tie on the blindfold, close your eyes, and sit cross-legged on the ground in a state of meditation. I will move around you from time to time, and you must identify my location." As he spoke, Mr. Popo pulled a bell from his robes and hung it at his waist.

"To facilitate your learning, I will wear the bell at the start. You must sense carefully, feeling the location of the bell's chime and matching it with the sensation that emerges in your mind..."

Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

Atop the Lookout, an eight-year-old boy could be seen floating cross-legged in mid-air. Streams of ki surged around the boy, and violent gusts of wind began to whip up in the surrounding area.

The boy was Kast. Although only two short months had passed, his appearance had changed drastically compared to before, as if he had aged nearly two years.

This was all thanks to the miraculous room within the Lookout: the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Indeed, once Kast finished his training in sensing ki, he had asked the Guardian to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for further cultivation.

Inside the palace, the Guardian of Earth looked through the transparent monitor before him, where Kast could be clearly seen in the air.

"Kast's training is nearing its end, is it not?"

"Yes, Guardian," Mr. Popo replied, standing to the side with his hands behind his back, smiling honestly.

"Indeed."

The Guardian watched Kast on the monitor, recalling the scenes from two months ago.

Two months prior, when the Guardian instructed Mr. Popo to begin systematic training for Kast, the boy's immense willpower and talent had gradually revealed themselves.

At first, Kast could only rely on hearing and sensation to track the moving Mr. Popo. However, aside from the moment Mr. Popo intentionally shook the bell to make a sound, there was no movement at all.

Though difficult, with each movement and each incorrect guess of location, a faint silhouette gradually began to manifest in Kast's mind.

As his perception deepened, Kast's ability to pinpoint Mr. Popo became increasingly clear. As his accuracy improved, Mr. Popo moved to the second stage of training and removed the bell from his waist.

Yet, this step proved not too difficult for Kast. Even without the sound, the silhouette in his mind did not vanish. Gradually, the image became clearer and clearer, and Kast finally mastered the sensing of ki.

The Guardian clearly remembered that in less than a single day, Kast had completed the sensing of ki and walked over with Mr. Popo.

"Saiyans! Truly a miraculous race."

He remembered that the very first thing Kast asked upon arriving was to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to begin training. Although the Guardian did not know how he had learned of it, he thought it over and agreed.

However, what shocked the Guardian even more was that Kast had also requested a set of heavy weighted clothing.

Watching Kast enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber wearing 50kg of weighted gear, the Guardian had thought it would be impressive if he could last even one month inside. He never expected that Kast would actually train in there for a full year.

If not for Kast coming out from time to time to ask the Guardian of Earth for advice on technique mastery and the constant increasing of the gravity suit's weight, the Guardian of Earth would have truly thought Kast had died inside.

Nowadays, Kast no longer trains in the 'Hyperbolic Time Chamber'. When he finally emerged, his aura was completely restrained; if not for seeing him with the naked eye, one would never be able to detect his presence at all.

By this time, the Guardian of Earth also knew that Kast was about to complete his final lessons, and what followed would be for him to begin his own training.

In the air, the aura on Kast's body had vanished, and the surrounding storm gradually dissipated as well.

Watching this scene, the Guardian of Earth said to Mr. Popo beside him, "Mr. Popo, are the things prepared?"
