Astonishing Cultivation Effects; A Surprised Trunks

However, given Tarble's current strength, he adapted to twice Earth's gravity in just a breath or two.

"Keep increasing the gravity multiplier, take it straight to 6x."

"Yes!"

As Licks responded, his hands moved quickly, immediately adjusting the gravity to 6x.

Hummm!

In an instant, Tarble felt his body grow several times heavier.

It was easy to imagine that if he still only had a few hundred battle power like when he first possessed this body, he would have ended up just like Son Goku in the original story, pinned to the ground in a crab-like sprawl by the sudden high gravity.

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

It was only 6x Earth's gravity; after walking around the gravity device five or six times, he had adapted well enough.

Finally, without needing a command, Licks felt they could handle more and took the initiative to increase the gravity to 10x.

Hummm-hummm-hummm!

Even though both Tarble and Licks had battle powers exceeding 10,000, they hadn't spent time in high-gravity environments for many years. At just 10x gravity, both felt their bodies become exceptionally heavy—so heavy that even walking was a bit of a struggle.

But it was only a bit of a struggle; their strength was sufficient that they weren't completely immobilized.

However, Tarble didn't intend to keep increasing the gravity multiplier.

You can't get fat from a single mouthful, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Whether in his past life or this one, he lived by one principle: everything should be done steadily and step by step.

If he rashly increased the gravity, there was no guarantee he wouldn't suffer some irreversible damage to his body, which would truly be a loss outweighing the gain.

He felt that increasing by 10x Earth's gravity per day was enough.

And so, the two began their most basic training inside the Gravity Chamber.

For example: walking, punching, push-ups, sit-ups, and so on.

Only after they had fully adapted did they begin simple martial arts sparring.

Cultivation knows no days or months, and in the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

The moment he turned off the gravity device, although Tarble felt as if his body had been hollowed out, his eyes were bright and spirited.

Because the three lines of text appearing in his vision swept away his exhaustion.

[Detected that the host has stopped training, beginning to calculate final training results.]

[The host trained for a total of 10 hours under 10x Earth's gravity, increasing battle power by 460. Activating current multiplier effect, battle power gain increased to 5x.]

[Congratulations to the host for gaining 2,300 battle power. Current total battle power: 32,300.]

Very good!

It seems that after one's battle power exceeds 10,000, the base training speed really has improved quite a bit compared to before!

It looks like at this stage, the base training speed under 1x Earth's gravity is around 46!

Today, 10 hours of training at 10x Earth's gravity yielded a base battle power increase of 460.

If he adapted to 20x gravity tomorrow, he could increase his base battle power by 920.

And multiplying that by 5, that would be 4,600!

Heh!

A Super Saiyan, it seems, isn't that far off!

Tarble thought to himself, feeling quite pleased.

At the same time, he decided that once he successfully transformed into a Super Saiyan 2, he would enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber again.

By then, he could break through to Super Saiyan 3 in one go, or perhaps even have a chance to reach Super Saiyan 4.

Because once he transformed into a Super Saiyan, his strength could be considered to have broken through the third dimension and reached the fourth!

That meant reaching a battle power in the hundreds of millions!

By then, he would unlock a new binding slot.

Once he bound Trunks, the training effect would reach a terrifying 6x!

With a 6x training effect, staying in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for two full years, he could conservatively estimate that he would definitely be able to break through to Super Saiyan 3.

He remembered that when Son Goku and his son Son Gohan entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for about a year, their strength reached the bottleneck of a Super Saiyan.

At that training speed, they seemed to be able to increase their battle power by over ten million every day.

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

By then, multiplying that by 6, even a conservative estimate would mean an increase of nearly one hundred million battle power per day!

At that point, wouldn't breaking through to Super Saiyan 3 be as easy as reaching for something in his pocket?

Even for Super Saiyan 4, he would have a fifty-percent chance of a successful breakthrough!

Just as he was daydreaming about a bright future, an exclamation from Trunks reached his ears.

"Wow!!!"

"Uncle Tarble, you've only been training for one day, and your combat power actually increased by 2,300!"

"That's amazing!"

This shout successfully pulled Tarble's wandering thoughts back to reality.

He focused his gaze and saw Trunks staring wide-eyed at the improved scouter, his face full of shock.

He secretly used his Insight Eye to check, only to find that his combat power was still at 2 billion.

Having not trained at all today, it was no wonder he was making such a fuss over this tiny increase in combat power!

If he knew his own training speed, he probably wouldn't have made such a comment.

However, the only Gravity Chamber was already occupied, so there really wasn't anywhere for him to train.

Tarble feigned shame and self-deprecatingly said, "Trunks, my level of strength is hardly worth mentioning compared to you guys, isn't it?"

"Your base combat power has already reached 2 billion, while mine is only a little over 30,000!"

"I'm too embarrassed to even show my face!"

The combat power detection limit of the improved scouter had been raised by Bulma to 9,999 gai.

The moment the scouter was finished, he had taken it everywhere to test it.

Even Vegeta had been pestered until he had no choice but to release his full base strength for testing.

Since Vegeta had cooperated, there was no need to mention the others.

Furthermore, they were also very curious about exactly how strong they and others had become.

Therefore, at the welcome banquet, everyone without exception had been scanned by those two brats, Trunks and Son Goten.

After hearing Tarble's words, Trunks realized belatedly that he seemed to have touched a sore spot. His eyes darted around, and he quickly comforted him, "Um, Uncle Tarble, I heard from Dad that your current combat power is actually nearly half again as high as his was when he first came to Earth."

"Your talent must be incredible!"

Hearing this, Tarble's mouth twitched, and he muttered to himself.

Is it really okay for you to badmouth your old man behind his back like that?!

However, he also knew that this was just a panicked remark.

If he didn't have his cheat, how could his talent possibly compare to Vegeta's?

"Perhaps, but who can say for sure what the future holds!"

Trunks, wise beyond his years, offered more comfort: "Uncle, you will definitely be able to become a Super Saiyan."

"Goten and I didn't even need to be taught; we just tried it casually and succeeded in turning into Super Saiyans!"

Tarble sighed inwardly after hearing this, feeling somewhat speechless.

Listen to that!

What kind of talk is that?

In terms of the difficulty of transforming into a Super Saiyan, half-breed Saiyans are countless times simpler than pure-blooded Saiyans!

If he were a half-breed Saiyan, he could probably succeed just by trying to transform right now.

However, he had no intention of arguing with Trunks, so he laughed and said, "Haha, then Uncle will take your word for it!"

Trunks nodded heavily. "You definitely can."

As he spoke, he looked over at Licks, who was standing to the side.
