The Hyperbolic Time Chamber Training [2]

Whoosh!

Son Gohan let out a long breath. His eyes snapped open, and his left fist shot forward, the airflow around it whistling loudly.

One had to remember—this was a punch thrown under ten times Earth's gravity.

It was already the twenty-third day. By now, Son Gohan's hair had grown out a little, and the clothes on his body had long since become ragged.

But in this short span of time, his height had already increased by nearly ten centimeters.

His once ordinary child's build had also developed defined muscle lines under this extreme training, making him look nothing like a mere four-year-old.

And from his movement speed and attack speed, it was clear that Son Gohan had completely adapted to the environment of ten times gravity.

"My body has completely gotten used to ten times gravity, and my mind has also been trained to a certain level. Then what's left next is training in two areas."

All of this was within Son Gohan's training plan. At most, there had been a slight deviation in the time it took to adapt to the gravity.

His body had already reached the target he wanted through the tempering of gravity. That left two areas that could still be honed.

One was his body's ability to withstand blows. The other was his control over ki. In Son Gohan's plan, these two aspects could be trained together.

Because only his own body could feel the strength of an attack most clearly.

And only by knowing the strength of an attack could he familiarize himself with and adjust his own ki.

Control over ki was extremely important. Perhaps at the start, this gap was not obvious, but once one reached a higher level, the degree of control over ki could very well affect the outcome of a battle.

In his previous life, Son Gohan had once discussed this with people on forums, Tieba, and QQ groups: why, starting from Vegeta, someone with a battle power of just over ten thousand could destroy Earth.

Yet later on, when two beings with battle powers exceeding trillions fought, they only casually wrecked a bit of ground as a token gesture.

Granted, part of it was because if someone accidentally cracked a planet with one punch, the story could no longer be drawn.

But Son Gohan was more inclined to believe that the stronger a life-form was, the better it could control the energy within its body—of course, excluding the early-stage emperor.

And when there was not much difference in strength, the level of control over ki was often one of the keys to victory.

Many people did not know what benefits there were to the use of ki, such as Son Goku, who had just returned from training with King Kai.

Nappa's nearly full-power strike had been effortlessly neutralized by the protective layer Son Goku formed with ki, leaving him completely unharmed.

For example, Master Roshi's Kamehameha, Krillin's Destructo Disc, Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon, and Vegeta's Galick Gun.

These were all the concentration and application of their own ki. As for someone like Frieza, he merely gathered energy in a simple manner and threw it out.

Most crucially, ki had to be used reasonably, without any waste at all.

Super Saiyan Blue was actually perfect control over aura. This was also why Super Saiyan Blue was criticized for always going fifty-fifty against any enemy.

This could actually be explained with a very simple analogy. A wooden stick might only give you a flesh wound, but what if that wooden stick compressed its own density down to the size of a needle?

Piercing human skin would be nothing more than an easy matter.

Thoughts flashed continuously through his mind. Son Gohan quickly organized his thinking, because sometimes a sudden burst of inspiration could very well be the key.

After quite a while, Son Gohan opened his eyes again. There was no confusion in them at all, only intense confidence.

He raised his hand. Under the control of Son Gohan's will, the ki within his body began to flow.

This was also because over the past twenty-plus days, as his body continuously grew stronger, the ki within him had begun to strengthen along with it.

The simultaneous strengthening of his mind allowed Son Gohan to quickly find the trick to controlling ki. Although he still could not command it as if it were his own arm, he could already perform basic operations.

Soon, a pale-blue energy sphere condensed in Son Gohan's palm. This was an energy attack formed from a portion of the ki within his body.

Facing forward, Son Gohan gently tossed out the energy sphere in his hand.

The next moment, the muscles in his legs bulged, and a powerful force erupted from them, sending Son Gohan's body shooting out like a cannonball.

There was no helping it. The current Son Gohan still could not remotely control ki that had left his body, so he could only make up for it with his body's speed.

Whoosh!

Fortunately, when Son Gohan had thrown out the energy sphere earlier, he had suppressed its movement speed to a certain level, so when he burst forward at full physical speed, he surpassed it.

Arriving less than ten meters ahead of the energy sphere, Son Gohan came to an abrupt stop and raised his arms, crossing them in front of his body.

Boom!

A violent explosion rang out. As flames from the blast shot into the sky, a powerful shockwave spread in all directions.

When Son Goku was little, his Kamehameha had already been comparable in power to a high-explosive missile, let alone the energy sphere released by the current Son Gohan.

As the flames of the explosion flickered, a figure flew backward from within them. It was none other than Son Gohan.

Even though it was only an attack using a portion of his energy, in order to personally feel the energy within it, Son Gohan had completely given up using ki to defend himself.

His arms trembling, he stood up from the ground. Looking at his scarred arms, Son Gohan could not help but let out a bitter laugh.

Sure enough, the first time, he still could not control the ki contained in the attack very well. And when creating the attack, he had wasted part of it because of his control.

All of this represented that the current Son Gohan's control over his own energy and his mental realm were completely insufficient.

However, Son Gohan was not discouraged by this. On the contrary, a happy smile appeared on his face.

Since he could identify his own flaws, that meant the road ahead was very clear, and there was no need for any confusion at all.

Without using a Senzu Bean, Son Gohan stood where he was and closed his eyes.

Using a Senzu Bean at a time like this could certainly heal all his injuries, but the feeling of being hurt just now would fade away along with them.

The pain in his body was precisely what reminded Son Gohan of the flaws in his attack just now, giving him a clearer direction for correcting his shortcomings.

After about ten minutes, Son Gohan opened his eyes again.

He raised his palm and once more mobilized the ki within his body, forming a new energy ball.

If someone observant had been beside him, they would have noticed that this energy ball had formed at least one-sixth faster than the previous one.

"Not enough!"

Son Gohan frowned. Then, with a thought, the energy ball in his hand dispersed into his palm.

The next moment, another energy ball condensed in Son Gohan's palm, only to quickly dissipate completely again.

Just like that, one energy ball after another appeared and disappeared, yet there was still no trace of satisfaction on Son Gohan's face.

"It's done!"

After who knew how many experiments, Son Gohan suddenly let out a low shout!
