Astonishing Training Results; Trunks Is Amazed

But with Tarble's current strength, it only took him a breath or two to adapt to twice Earth's gravity.

"Keep increasing the gravity. Take it straight to six times."

"Yes!"

Licks replied while swiftly adjusting the gravity to six times normal.

Vmmmm!

In an instant, Tarble felt several times heavier.

It was easy to imagine that if he still had only a few hundred units of battle power, like when he had first possessed this body, he would have been crushed by the sudden high gravity into the same crablike pose as Son Goku in the original story.

Fortunately, his battle power was now as high as 30,000.

Six times Earth's gravity was nothing. After walking around the gravity device five or six times, he had more or less adapted.

In the end, without even needing Tarble to tell him, Licks felt they could handle more and raised the gravity to ten times normal.

Vmmmm!

Even though Tarble and Licks had battle power exceeding 10,000, neither of them had spent years in a high-gravity environment. At just ten times gravity, their bodies felt incredibly heavy—so heavy that even walking was a bit of a struggle.

But it was only a bit of a struggle. With their strength, they could still move around.

Still, Tarble had no intention of increasing the gravity any further.

You couldn't get fat from eating one bite, and rushing wouldn't get you anywhere.

Whether in his past life or this one, he had always followed one principle: be steady and make progress step by step.

If he rashly increased the gravity, he might leave himself with some kind of irreversible injury. That would be a terrible bargain.

He figured that increasing the gravity by ten times Earth's gravity each day would be enough.

And so,

the two began with the most basic training in the Gravity Chamber.

For example: walking, throwing punches, doing push-ups, doing sit-ups, and so on.

Training days came and went, and before they knew it, a day had passed.

The moment the gravity device switched off, Tarble felt as though his body had been hollowed out. Yet his eyes gleamed with energy.

The three lines of text that appeared before him swept away his exhaustion.

[Detected that the host has stopped training. Calculating final training results.]

[The host trained for a total of 10 hours at 10 times Earth's gravity. Battle power increased by 460. Activating the current multiplier effect: battle power gained increased to 5 times.]

[Congratulations, host. You gained 2,300 battle power. Current total battle power: 32,300.]

Excellent!

It seemed that after his battle power had passed 10,000, his base training speed really had improved quite a bit!

By the looks of it, his current base training speed at one times Earth's gravity was around 46!

He had trained for ten hours at ten times Earth's gravity today and gained 460 base battle power.

So, if he adapted to twenty times gravity tomorrow, he'd gain 920 base battle power.

Then, multiplied by five, that would be 4,600!

Heh!

Becoming a Super Saiyan didn't seem so far away after all!

Tarble thought happily.

At the same time, he decided to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber again after successfully becoming a Super Saiyan 2.

Then he could break through to Super Saiyan 3 in one go—or even have a chance of reaching Super Saiyan 4.

That was because after becoming a Super Saiyan, his strength could be considered to have broken through the Third Dimension and reached the Fourth Dimension!

In other words, he would reach the billion-level battle power range!

At that point, he would unlock another binding slot.

Once he bound Trunks, his training effect would reach a terrifying six times!

With a sixfold training effect, staying in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for two full years would conservatively be enough to break through to Super Saiyan 3.

He remembered that after Son Goku and Son Gohan entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for about a year, they had reached the bottleneck of Super Saiyan.

At that training speed, they seemed to be able to gain more than ten million battle power a day.

What's more, he speculated that his base training speed would increase again after he broke through to Super Saiyan 2.

At that point, even with a conservative estimate, multiplying it six times would let him gain nearly 100 million battle power a day!

Then breaking through to Super Saiyan 3 would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

Even Super Saiyan 4 would have a fifty percent chance of success!

Just as he was imagining the wonderful future ahead, he heard Trunks exclaim beside him.

"Whoa!!!"

"Uncle Tarble, you trained for just one day and gained 2,300 battle power!"

"That's incredible!"

The shout brought Tarble's wandering thoughts back to the present.

He looked over and saw Trunks staring wide-eyed at the upgraded Scouter, his face full of shock.

Tarble secretly used his Insight Eye to check Trunks's battle power. It was still two billion.

He hadn't trained at all that day, so no wonder he was making a fuss over such a small increase!

If he knew how fast Tarble could train, he probably wouldn't be saying that.

Still, the only Gravity Chamber was already in use, so there was nowhere for him to train anyway.

Tarble put on an embarrassed expression and joked self-deprecatingly, "Trunks, my strength is nothing compared to yours, right?"

"Your base battle power is already two billion, while I've only got a little over 30,000!"

"I can't even show my face!"

Bulma had upgraded the Scouter's battle-power detection limit to 9999 cai.

As soon as it was ready, Trunks took it around and tested people.

Even Vegeta couldn't escape him and eventually released his full power in his base form for Trunks to measure.

If Vegeta cooperated, there was no need to mention everyone else.

Besides, they were curious about how strong they and the others had become.

So, every guest at the welcome banquet got tested by the two little troublemakers, Trunks and Son Goten.

After hearing Tarble, Trunks belatedly realized that he might have hit a sore spot. His eyes darted around as he hurried to reassure him. "Um, Uncle Tarble, I heard Dad say that your battle power is about one and a half times what his was when he first came to Earth."

"You must have amazing talent!"

Tarble's mouth twitched as he grumbled inwardly.

You're putting your dad down behind his back like that—is that really okay?!

Still, he knew Trunks had only said it in a panic.

Without his cheat, how could his talent possibly compare to Vegeta's?

"Maybe. Who can say what the future holds?"

Trunks was young but clever, and he tried to comfort Tarble again. "Uncle, you'll definitely become a Super Saiyan."

"Goten and I didn't even need anyone to teach us. We just tried it, and we became Super Saiyans!"

Tarble sighed to himself after hearing that, feeling a little speechless.

Just listen to that!

What kind of thing was that to say?

When it came to the difficulty of transforming into a Super Saiyan, Half-Saiyans had it countless times easier than pure-blooded Saiyans!

If he were a Half-Saiyan, he might succeed just by trying to transform right now.

Still, he had no intention of arguing with Trunks. Laughing, he said, "Ha ha, then I'll take your word for it!"

Trunks nodded firmly. "You definitely will!"

As he spoke, he looked over at Licks.
