Cultivation

Upon arriving at King Kai's Planet, Gamos spotted the resurrected Tien Shinhan and a small fellow with a halo hovering above his head at a single glance.

"Hi!"

Hearing the greeting from behind, Tien Shinhan turned around and immediately laid eyes on Gamos, who stood just over a meter tall.

"Are you that legendary Super Saiyan? I can feel a tremendous amount of pressure coming from you."

"You're amazing."

Hearing the praise from the two, Gamos felt quite pleased.

"I've come this time because I want to learn some of your techniques, as well as King Kai's Kaioken and the Spirit Bomb."

Gamos looked at King Kai nearby with a beaming smile; he had been coveting these two techniques of King Kai's for a long time.

The Spirit Bomb, in particular, had an incredibly high level of prestige.

"No problem. You don't have any evil in your heart, and you've helped us a great deal, so we're friends from now on."

Tien Shinhan said this very generously, but the other fellow was not as cooperative.

"My techniques aren't that easy to learn. If you want to learn from me, you must first pass my test."

As he spoke, the two antennae on King Kai's head twitched.

Upon hearing about the test, the smile on Gamos's face instantly froze.

How could he have forgotten that this King Kai had an incredibly low threshold for humor and especially loved using his own lame jokes as tests?

"King Kai, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

Gamos raised his hand, and a massive ball of energy appeared in the sky.

This was the planet-destroying technique Gamos had pilfered from Frieza: the Supernova.

The energy sphere grew larger and larger; under the shocked gazes of everyone present, it had reached a size comparable to King Kai's Planet itself.

"Aha, did I say anything just now? I don't think so! Whatever you want to learn, just tell me directly, and I will certainly teach you well."

Watching the colossal energy sphere in the sky, King Kai broke out in a cold sweat and, being a sensible man, quickly stated his position.

Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu were also stunned; the energy was simply too terrifying. They had a feeling that if that sphere were to fall, they would undoubtedly perish.

Seeing that the other party was so sensible, Gamos retracted the energy with satisfaction.

King Kai slumped to the ground in fright, pulling out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

One moment he was an easygoing little student, and the next he had turned into a grinning demon king; it was truly terrifying.

Inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Vegeta took out a capsule and tossed it onto the ground in the distance. With a bang, a massive house appeared.

"I've brought the Gravity Training Room. Do you want to join me?"

"Of course."

The three spoke in unison, and then all four of them ducked inside.

At this moment, the gravity in the training room was set directly to 100 times, and everyone was able to adapt. Krillin and Yamcha, in particular, possessing their future bodies, felt as if there were no difference from the outside world.

Although they weren't fully accustomed to these bodies, the original strength remained, and this level of gravity was nothing to them.

"Alright! Let's train in this environment!"

With that, Son Goku let out a loud shout and transformed directly into a Super Saiyan!

Krillin and Yamcha were not to be outdone; the two of them rapidly raised their ki. Although they did not transform, that terrifying aura directly suppressed Son Goku's Super Saiyan form.

"Amazing! As expected of the future me, to have raised your power to such a terrifying level."

At this moment, Son Goku was already becoming excited; perhaps he really could obtain the power of the future ahead of schedule.

Just as the three were feeling highly pumped, only Vegeta hid to the side. At this moment, he couldn't even transform into a basic Super Saiyan. After the three opposite him released their ki, he felt immense pressure and nearly lost his footing.

"Damn it! I, the proud Prince of all Saiyans, am actually being suppressed!"

Vegeta clenched his fists, struggling hard to hold his ground and keep from falling.

"Kakarot, take this!"

The explosive Vegeta let out a roar and charged directly toward the Son Goku of this timeline.

"What kind of garbage Super Saiyan are you? In front of me, Prince Vegeta, you are all weaklings."

Vegeta threw a punch, but to his surprise, it was caught by Son Goku with a single hand.

"You've gotten stronger again, but it's still not enough."

Son Goku curled his lips into a smile, and with a fist wreathed in golden ki, he slammed it into his opponent's abdomen.

Suffering such a heavy blow, Vegeta felt his insides churning, and he clutched his stomach as he stumbled backward.

"How is this possible?"

"I trained in Instant Transmission on Yardrat. Through that, I gained a brand-new level of control over my power, and naturally, I've become stronger. As of now, I have completely mastered the power of the Super Saiyan."

"Damn it!"

Looking at the arrogant Son Goku opposite him, Vegeta was filled with inner rage.

On the other side, Krillin and Yamcha exchanged a glance, then both assumed their fighting stances.

"Come on! Let's use this battle to adapt to our bodies! Let's see who masters the transformation first."

"Right!"

As the strongest Earthlings and martial artists, the two naturally possessed no shortage of combat talent.

Even in the original Dragon Ball storyline, their strength was not to be underestimated. It was only later, due to their Earthling bloodline, that they were left far behind by the Saiyans in terms of combat power, and over time, they gradually lost their confidence.

It was like being at the bottom of the class no matter how hard you tried; naturally, you would eventually just give up.

Yamcha was the first among all the Earthling warriors to give up. In the original story, he abandoned his training and switched careers to become a baseball player.

As for Krillin, after marrying Android 18, he also began to settle down as a good husband, leaving the task of protecting the Earth to his good friend.

But at this moment, the two who were originally at the bottom suddenly possessed the strongest bodies. Even Son Goku, the strongest of them all, was suppressed by the aura they radiated, and the two naturally rekindled their martial hearts.

"I'm coming."

Krillin let out a loud shout and charged straight toward his opponent.

"Well come. Witness my Wolf Fang Fist!"

Using the body of the future Vegeta, Yamcha struck a pose he was familiar with.

Facing the incoming fist, he countered with a swipe of his wolf claws.

The two quickly engaged in combat.

On this side, Vegeta, unable to transform into a Super Saiyan, was being unilaterally pummeled by Son Goku.

While brutally beating his opponent, Son Goku didn't forget to use his immature Instant Transmission to multitask, training and familiarizing himself with his skills at the same time.

Sent flying by a punch, Vegeta watched as the other man kept his left hand pressed against his own forehead, seemingly practicing some kind of technique, which only made him more furious.

"Damn you, Kakarot! To dare get distracted while fighting me, looking down on me like this—it's truly infuriating!"

As the Prince of all Saiyans, Vegeta felt a deep sense of humiliation; he was being treated as if he were nothing!

Anger, extreme anger—or perhaps rage born of shame—in any case, Vegeta truly couldn't take it anymore and erupted.

"Ahhhhh!"

Vegeta looked up and let out a long, furious roar.

"Vegeta!"

Seeing this scene before him, Son Goku widened his eyes.

He saw that the white aura clinging to Vegeta's body was beginning to flicker with a golden light. Son Goku was all too familiar with this sight.

"Damn you, Kakarot, I will make you pay for humiliating the Prince of all Saiyans."

With a shout of extreme rage, a booming sound erupted from Vegeta's body. It was as if a shackle had been broken; golden light was released, rapidly enveloping his entire body.

His high-spiked black hair was also rendered by the golden aura, shifting from black to gold.

Coupled with those green pupils, Vegeta had successfully transformed into a Super Saiyan.

"Kakarot, come again!"

Vegeta issued another challenge, stepped forward, and threw a punch straight ahead.

Facing Vegeta, who had also transformed into a Super Saiyan, Son Goku finally turned serious.

He threw a punch of his own. The two fists collided, then quickly separated, followed by another punch from the other hand, colliding once more.

"Kakarot, I won't lose to you."

Vegeta threw a left hook that smashed directly into the other man's face. Son Goku didn't flinch, countering with a right hook that slammed into his opponent's face as well.

"Vegeta, you are indeed strong."

Son Goku exerted more force, the golden light on his body flaring brilliantly. Vegeta also powered up, and for a moment, the golden light from the two began to clash, resulting in a stalemate.

"Not bad, Vegeta. To possess such strength right after transforming into a Super Saiyan. However, your control over the power of a Super Saiyan is still lacking."

After saying this, Son Goku raised his aura once more, instantly suppressing Vegeta's!

"I won't lose."

Seeing himself being suppressed, Vegeta abandoned the contest of aura and charged at his opponent.

In an instant, the two were locked in combat once again.

On the other side of the battlefield, Krillin and Yamcha were trading blows, fist meeting flesh.

As the battle reached a fever pitch, the two felt the blood in their veins boiling. At this moment, they finally understood why the Saiyans were called a warrior race.

This passionate combat made them unable to stop. At the same time, every injury made them feel pain, and this pain greatly accelerated their adaptation to their bodies.

Krillin grabbed his opponent's fist and executed a shoulder throw. Yamcha was not to be outdone; before he could even hit the ground, he fired an energy wave back at his opponent.

"I feel that, with my current level of adaptation to this body, I should be able to achieve the Super Saiyan transformation."

Krillin said first.

Yamcha indicated that he felt the same way.

"In that case, let's go outside to fight! We can't really let loose inside the Gravity Training Room. Besides, the gravity here doesn't seem to have any effect on us anymore."

Having made up their minds, the two of them left the Gravity Training Room.

Son Goku and Vegeta, who were in the middle of their own battle, naturally sensed the pair's movements and cast their gazes toward them in the distance.

The two men let out a loud shout as golden auras erupted, and Krillin and Yamcha, dressed in black, transformed directly into Super Saiyans.

Feeling the immense energy surging within them, both were left stunned. Even more shocked than them, however, were Son Goku and Vegeta, who remained where they stood.

They had not expected that their future selves, merely by transforming into Super Saiyans, would exert such incomparable pressure upon them.

"Is this the power I will possess in the future? It is truly fascinating; I will certainly reach such heights at an even faster pace."

Watching his own body being used by someone else felt indescribably strange to Vegeta.

"With them as a point of comparison, we will surely be able to avoid many detours."
