"Tomorrow's Tuesday," Kusu replied. "According to the rules, I'm supposed to teach you Ultra Instinct."
"Fine, then we'll start tomorrow. Today, I'll train in my own way." As Vegeta spoke, he immediately pulled a bottle of Ultra Divine Water from his Storage Ring.
Next, Vegeta took out a plate of peanuts and a plate of cold shredded potatoes.
He had prepared the shredded potatoes earlier.
The space inside the ring was basically a vacuum.
So the food wouldn't spoil.
Vegeta poured himself a drink and started eating peanuts and shredded potatoes.
"What... are you drinking?" Rumsshi asked.
"Uh, it's nothing special. It's a miraculous potion called Ultra Divine Water. Once you drink it, as long as you overcome the poison in your body, your strength increases dramatically," Vegeta replied.
"So this is how you increase your energy?" Rumsshi picked up Vegeta's cup and sniffed it.
"Your nose is so long. Can your brain really get an accurate reading of the smell by the time it reaches it?" Vegeta asked.
Rumsshi: "..."
Rumsshi glared fiercely at Vegeta.
How could this kid talk like that?
"This potion really is quite unusual." Rumsshi nodded.
Kusu came over to take a look as well.
"My, my, this potion is quite miraculous. Especially the bottle—it's connected to another dimension. This miraculous potion flows out from that other dimension and fills the bottle," Kusu explained.
"By the way, Kusu, I want to ask you something." Vegeta wasn't interested in where the Ultra Divine Water came from.
"Go ahead," Kusu said.
"Check my body and see if I have any hidden illnesses, like Heart Virus or something. Can you detect that?" Vegeta asked.
"Of course." Kusu nodded. "Let me see."
As she spoke, Kusu scanned Vegeta's body with the Scepter in her hand.
She scanned his entire body.
"From what I can tell, other than the poisoning, there's nothing wrong," Kusu replied.
"That's good." Vegeta breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your body is quite special, though. You have an incredibly strong ability to regenerate," Kusu remarked.
"It's nothing." Vegeta didn't elaborate.
Before long, Vegeta had drained the whole bottle of Ultra Divine Water.
Then he found a place and fell fast asleep.
"This kid's training method..." Rumsshi shook his head. "Is he taking a shortcut?"
"While this method is a kind of shortcut, his body pays a heavy price for it," Kusu mused. "For a mortal like him, the price is excruciating."
"Doesn't this kid feel pain?" Rumsshi asked.
"It must hurt. Didn't you see him sweating all over while he was drinking it?" Kusu said with a smile.
"This kid's a real oddball." Rumsshi chuckled.
A little over six hours passed.
"Rumble!"
An immensely powerful energy suddenly erupted from Vegeta.
A vast aura surged outward from him in every direction.
"My, my, what incredible energy!" Kusu exclaimed. "His energy has increased by at least twofold."
"Hmph, still too weak." Rumsshi shook his head. "But it seems this little guy has some potential after all."
"Yes, he does." Kusu nodded.
Vegeta quickly sensed the strength of his own energy.
Judging by this level of energy...
I feel like my battle power has reached ten million.
My battle power has finally hit ten million.
This time, my battle power went straight from five million to ten million.
I think I can keep drinking the Ultra Divine Water.
Or maybe I should wait a while before deciding.
I'll learn Ultra Instinct from Kusu first.
"Is it Tuesday already?" Vegeta asked.
"There are still three hours until Tuesday," Kusu replied.
"Let's start now. The sooner I train, the sooner I can finish," Vegeta replied.
"That works." Kusu didn't object. She began explaining to Vegeta. "I'll start by giving you a brief introduction to Ultra Instinct. Unlike the fighting styles you've used before, which rely on sensing ki, Ultra Instinct relies on the body's parts moving by reflex. The brain doesn't need to think at all, allowing you to maximize your speed and reaction time. Hoho... Is that confusing? You'll understand as you go."
"I already understand," Vegeta replied.
Kusu: "..."
"Simply put, you separate your body from your consciousness and let each part of your body sense danger around you beyond your instincts. You no longer need your brain to think before you act, right?" Vegeta replied.
Kusu was stunned.
Had this kid already grasped the concept of Ultra Instinct so thoroughly?
Rumsshi was also slightly taken aback.
He had to admit, the kid had an impressive ability to understand things.
"Did Vados tell you about Ultra Instinct before?" Kusu asked.
"I don't even know who Vados is. This is the first time I've heard of Ultra Instinct," Vegeta replied.
"All right. You have a remarkable ability to understand things; that saves us a lot of trouble." Kusu nodded with satisfaction. "Now attack me with all your strength. Watch my movements, and you'll understand what I mean by Ultra Instinct."
"Sure." Vegeta nodded, and energy surged from his body.
"Come on." Kusu beckoned him over.
"Whoosh!"
Vegeta rushed forward and launched a fierce attack against Kusu.
Kusu easily dodged all of Vegeta's punches and kicks.
They fought for about five minutes.
"Smack!"
Kusu raised a hand and caught Vegeta's incoming fist.
"That's enough for now," Kusu said with a smile.
Vegeta nodded.
"That's enough, right, Vegeta? Go make something to eat." Rumsshi was still waiting for a good meal. "A cup of milk tea would do."
"What are you talking about? We've only been training for five minutes total." Vegeta rolled his eyes and retorted irritably.
"You've got some nerve, kid... I'm a God of Destruction. What's with that attitude?" Rumsshi's expression darkened.
"If you want something good to eat, shut up. Even if you destroy me, I still won't make you anything," Vegeta snorted.
"Kid, you win." Rumsshi grumbled.
Just you wait!
Tomorrow, when I'm teaching you, I'll show you what's what.
"Again," Vegeta said to Kusu.
