The Harvest of Cultivation

After obtaining the Gravity Training Room, Jiang Yun began his frantic training. He pushed himself to the point of exhaustion every day before stopping to soak in a recovery solution.

This was how Jiang Yun repaired his bodily damage. High-intensity training easily caused hidden injuries, so some essential repairs were necessary; Jiang Yun did not want these hidden injuries to affect his body's potential.

After all, his body could not compare to that of a Saiyan or a Namekian. They did not worry about their bodies sustaining damage, but he had to consider it. Even Vegeta, a Saiyan, often used the Gravity Training Room to pressure himself into training.

Every time he trained until he was completely drained, he relied on his proud heart and his belief in wanting to surpass Goku to continue torturing himself.

Yet, it was precisely by relying on this belief that Vegeta could keep pace with Goku without anyone else's guidance.

Therefore, if geniuses were this hardworking, what reason did he have to slack off? That would simply be a waste of his own talent. To become an existence standing above the heavens, one had to work hard, and it would not be in vain to have walked this world.

As for Piccolo, the characteristics of a Namekian meant he did not worry about hidden injuries at all—or rather, the concept of hidden injuries simply did not exist for him. It was nothing more than spending a little bit of energy to recover.

Even if an arm were severed, it could grow back, so hidden injuries naturally did not exist.

In the days that followed, Jiang Yun trained continuously in the Gravity Training Room. Of course, he proceeded step by step, not starting at a high multiplier like Goku. This was because Goku had been desperate to save people, while Jiang Yun now had ample time to train, so he naturally did not adopt such radical methods.

Instead, he slowly built his foundation. A ten-thousand-story building rises from the ground; the foundation is very important, as it relates to the height one will reach in the future. Many people failed to make progress in their combat power later on precisely because their foundations were not well-laid. Jiang Yun was not impatient; he was patiently building his foundation.

When tired, Jiang Yun would meditate, thinking about the development of martial arts, or meditate to create an imaginary enemy for combat training. As the days passed, his cultivation improved day by day.

Six months later...

Whoosh!!!

Jiang Yun moved rapidly, dodging an attack from the figure opposite him. He braced his hands on the ground and instantly fired a ki blast at his opponent. The figure opposite him used a hand blade to deflect it, then followed up with an Explosive Flame Meteor that sent Jiang Yun flying.

A massive energy wave scattered in all directions. The scene froze for two seconds before a ki blast flew out, revealing Jiang Yun to be completely unscathed.

The two instantly clashed, using both hands and feet. Their speed was shockingly fast, invisible to ordinary people. Punches and kicks landed, and booming sounds echoed in the silent space. The two suddenly retreated, breathing heavily.

Then, both of them brought their hands together, and massive energy erupted from between their palms.

Explosive Flame Meteor!!!

Both sides roared, launching their attacks simultaneously. The next moment, neither could overcome the other, and they stared at each other with focused eyes.

Just as both sides intended to continue the fight, their figures suddenly dissipated. The scene shifted back to reality, where Jiang Yun sat cross-legged, panting heavily.

Clearly, the battle just now was a scene of Jiang Yun fighting a simulation of himself within his own mental space. Now, because his mental energy was over-exhausted, he could no longer continue the fight.

Coming back to his senses, Jiang Yun reflected on his gains over the past six months. During this time, he had spent most of his time training. Not only had his combat power increased significantly, but his combat experience had also improved by a large margin. Although he was not fighting a real person, he was fighting himself; by understanding his own weaknesses, his daily combat experience grew.

Jiang Yun gained more than just combat power; his own mental energy had also improved tremendously due to constant meditation.

Looking at his combat power, after this period of continuous training, it had already reached—you read that right, Jiang Yun's combat power had reached this level. Through the training in the Gravity Training Room, combined with his meditation, Jiang Yun's combat power had undergone a major leap.

In this process, Jiang Yun constantly experienced the changes in his ki, taking his understanding of ki to another level. This was extremely beneficial for his future cultivation. It could be said that no one on Earth could surpass him in the cultivation of ki now, not even the Guardian of Earth. As his combat power increased, his understanding of ki grew deeper.

While delving into ki, he wanted to use it to achieve healing and recovery. Referring to various medical concepts from his past life, combined with his own ideas, Jiang Yun successfully realized a skill that could heal injuries.

At first, Jiang Yun used plants for training, but his violent ki instantly destroyed the plants, failing to provide any healing effect.

He wanted to convert his ki into a gentle form, but the effect was minimal or non-existent. Finally, Jiang Yun directly applied the magical skill, Breath of All Things. That was when he realized:

Ki!

So-called ki is a form of life energy. All things possess Vital Energy, and ki exists within the human body. As long as ki is converted into a gentle energy that resonates with life, it can achieve the effect of repairing injuries. Repairing injuries lies in the recovery and regeneration of cells.

Therefore, after receiving this revelation, Jiang Yun immediately began experimenting. He used this special ki to stimulate the cells to achieve the goal of cell regeneration.

When he saw the wound on a plant he had sliced open begin to recover, he was very excited.

"Very good, the experiment was a success!"

Jiang Yun laughed happily, because he felt that this move did not consume much energy.

Not much?

Wait, the consumption was actually extremely small!

Suddenly, Jiang Yun noticed that the Vital Energy in the plant seemed to have diminished slightly. With his powerful mental energy, Jiang Yun did not think he had misperceived it, so he began to carefully investigate the problem.

Soon, he discovered the issue, and it was simple.

During the healing process, this special healing energy stimulated the plant's own healing ability to regenerate cells. However, because this regeneration was too fast, the plant could not compensate for this consumption by absorbing nutrients, so it consumed its own energy.

That was why Jiang Yun felt a decrease in Vital Energy. He discovered that after stimulating the plant's self-regeneration, that portion of ki did not disappear but reverted to its original state; it had only served as a stimulus, so it did not consume much.

As for the consumed portion, it was lost during the conversion process and did not constitute a significant drain.

Although this effect was already very good and could save a life at a critical moment, the bit of life energy consumed was insignificant compared to a life.

However, Jiang Yun was clearly not satisfied with this. He wanted to achieve the healing effect of Dende from the original story without affecting his own life, and he fell into deep thought once again.
