Heading to Namek

"This is the situation right now."

Li Feng immediately told everyone what he was thinking.

"Seize the Tree of Might's energy by gathering it the way you gather a Spirit Bomb? I'll try."

Wukong raised both hands and closed his eyes, sensing the Tree of Might's energy.

Rumble, rumble. Outside, the Tree of Might was still growing, madly drawing in the energy of the world around it.

As Wukong gathered energy, the energy that should originally have been collected from all kinds of plants and animals was now all inside the Tree of Might. A golden orb of light appeared deep within the tree's branches, radiating warm energy.

After that, the golden ball of light shattered outright, turning into starlight that filled the sky and scattered everywhere.

After the Tree of Might lost its core energy, it stopped growing. Its enormous trunk began to collapse, the branches spread across the land began to wither, and all the energy was returned to the earth where it had come from.

"We did it!"

Everyone was overjoyed. They had finally resolved this disaster.

"But most of the damage to Earth will still be hard to repair. Let's use the Dragon Balls."

Li Feng said.

"So that's why you kept stopping us from using the Dragon Balls before!"

Krillin suddenly understood.

Everyone gathered the Dragon Balls, summoned Shenron, and made a wish to restore Earth to the state it had been in before the great fire.

After Shenron's red light flashed, Earth was restored to its original state.

"No matter what, it was perfectly resolved in the end."

"Wow, Li Feng, you got stronger again!"

Wukong sighed once more. Every time he thought he was about to catch up to Li Feng, the distance between them was pulled open again.

Vegeta: You finally understand how I feel.

"You're not bad either."

Li Feng said.

"There will be even stronger enemies when we go to Namek later. The trip will also take a month, so we'll have time to train properly on the spaceship."

"Mm. See you tomorrow, then."

"Goodbye."

"..."

After everyone left, Li Feng looked at the Tree of Might Fruit stored in his space and sank into thought.

Forget it. I can't find a suitable place to plant it for now. I'll leave it for later...

The next day, Dr. Brief adjusted the spaceship bound for Namek, and everyone gathered.

After the genius Dr. Brief's modifications, the new spaceship could accommodate at least several dozen people, and it had multiple rooms as well as bathrooms. Most importantly, he had built a Gravity Training Room that could reach one hundred times gravity.

This way, they could continue training on the way to Namek.

"Li Feng, be careful," Bulma said, utterly reluctant to part.

"Mm. I will."

"Gohan, remember to study. If you run into danger, you have to run, and there are all kinds of clothes, food..."

Chi-Chi was also nagging away at the side, but every word was filled with care.

After saying goodbye, Li Feng, Piccolo, Wukong, and Gohan set off on their journey to Namek.

As for Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, Krillin, Chiaotzu, and the others, they knew their strength was far too lacking, so they could only follow the original plan and look for Fortuneteller Baba to go to King Kai's Planet to train...

"Huh? So this is the Gravity Training Room? What's different about it?"

As soon as the spaceship set off, Wukong could not wait to head to the Gravity Training Room with Li Feng and the others.

As a training fanatic, Wukong still could not resist his passion for training.

"This can adjust gravity. At most, it can be set to one hundred times... huh? One hundred and fifty times?"

Li Feng explained, then discovered that the Gravity Training Room's gravity could actually be set as high as one hundred and fifty times.

It seemed Dr. Brief had improved the gravity training device again.

After he finished speaking, Piccolo and Gohan came in as well.

Li Feng set it to double gravity.

"Oh, so that's how it works. Training successfully under these conditions would indeed be a little better."

Wukong felt his body grow slightly heavier.

Piccolo also seemed to feel nothing from it.

But the one who felt it most intensely was Gohan.

At this moment, under the pressure of twice Earth's gravity, he could not help bending at the waist.

"Gohan should wait until he's a little older before training in the Gravity Training Room. This isn't good for his physical development," Li Feng reminded them.

In the original story, Gohan had no experience using a Gravity Training Room at this point. The earliest he used one was during the Cell period, but by then he was at least ten.

"That's right, Gohan. You should go train in another room by yourself for now."

Wukong also advised him.

"Mm. Given the current situation, it's still too early for you."

Even Piccolo, rarely enough, agreed.

Seeing this, Gohan had no choice but to give up on training in the Gravity Training Room and ran off alone to train in an ordinary room.

"Then I'll keep increasing it."

Li Feng began raising the multiplier.

By the time it reached fifteen times gravity, Piccolo could no longer stay calm and began clenching his fists.

Sweat also began to appear on Wukong's forehead.

Li Feng checked with the Scouter.

Piccolo's current battle power was 18,000.

Wukong's battle power was 30,000.

Five times gravity was just right for them to adapt to.

"Then let's start adapting at this multiplier."

Li Feng barely felt anything. He had experienced a hundred times gravity before.

And so the three of them each began adapting and training.

Gohan was also training by himself.

Although he was still young, his heart was very resolute. After seeing his father and Li Feng's battle, a powerful wish burst from within his small body.

To become stronger!

He had to become even stronger!

The four of them trained separately.

At the same time, on an unknown planet, a spherical spaceship slammed hard into the ground, smashing out a huge crater.

"It's Lord Vegeta's ship!" A foot soldier of Frieza's army hurried over to receive it.

But he found the dying Vegeta inside the ship, unable to move, and quickly summoned others to transfer Vegeta into a Healing Tank for treatment.

One day later, the hatch of the Healing Tank opened, and green medicinal fluid flowed out. A sturdy man stepped out, his rock-like muscles radiating a terrifying aura.

"Damn Li Feng! I won't let you off!" Vegeta said viciously.

On this trip to Earth, the prince who had once stood high above others had been trampled into the ground and humiliated.

How could he possibly swallow that anger?

He wanted revenge, but he knew all too well that his own strength was insufficient.

And so he trained even more desperately.

A month later, Vegeta's training was interrupted. It turned out that Frieza's subordinate—Cui—had arrived.

"Heh heh heh, Vegeta, did you complete Lord Frieza's mission? I heard you were beaten half to death by someone on some planet in the Solar System?" Cui mocked.

"None of your business!" Vegeta snorted coldly.

He had long wanted to break free from Frieza's control. If he were not still on Frieza's territory and worried that his whereabouts would be exposed, he would have dealt with Cui immediately.

"Hmph. Just wait to apologize to Lord Frieza."

"There's a new mission now. Lord Frieza needs people to go to Namek to search for the Wish Orbs and fulfill his great wish," Cui said coldly.

"Don't think about slacking off this time. I'll be watching you the entire way," Cui said disdainfully.

Namek? Wish Orbs?

Vegeta suddenly realized this was an opportunity. If he seized the Dragon Balls before Frieza did and made a wish for immortality, then wouldn't Frieza, Li Feng, and the rest be his to crush as he pleased?

Thinking of this, Vegeta sneered. He would first pretend to compromise with Cui and temporarily lower himself.

In any case, the first thing to do was figure out how many enemies there were. If the Ginyu Force had also been deployed, things would become troublesome.

As for being ordered around by Cui for now, what did it matter? There was no need to argue with a dead man.

"Of course, honored Lord Cui. I will certainly accept Lord Frieza's assignment."

Vegeta answered respectfully.

"May I ask who else is going to Namek?"

"Hmph. Seeing as your attitude is so sincere, I can tell you. Lord Zarbon and Lord Dodoria will also go to supervise you."

"What about the Ginyu Force?"

"What are you thinking? How could the respected and powerful Ginyu Force have that kind of free time!"

"Hmph. Then that's perfect. As long as the Ginyu Force doesn't come, those bastards are dead for sure!" Vegeta said with a cold laugh.

In fact, setting aside how Vegeta, just like in the original story, had reached a battle power of 24,000 after being healed from his severe injuries on Earth, more importantly, he had turned his hatred for Li Feng into motivation for hellish training.

Vegeta's current battle power was 35,000!

Unlike Li Feng, who could use Senzu Beans for healing almost without limit, Vegeta could only use the Healing Tank when he was badly injured, and it took at least half a day for him to recover.

Even so, the current Vegeta was still far stronger than he had been at the same point in the original story, both in strength and mentality.

Each harboring their own schemes, they boarded the Spaceship and headed for Namek.

A month later, Vegeta and Li Feng's group arrived on Namek at the same time.
