Spirit Bomb (Part 1) [Shamelessly continuing to ask for votes and collections]

"To put this ultimate technique plainly, it allows you to borrow from all things in the world—plants, animals, or humans. As long as it is a living being that possesses ki, you can borrow from it!"

"The range you can borrow from is determined by your spiritual state and your strength. If you are powerful enough, you can even borrow the life energy of the entire universe."

"Once the gathered ki is controlled, it can be condensed into a 'Spirit Orb.' Against ordinary life, this orb only has a certain degree of destructive power."

"But against enemies with an evil aura, its killing power will surge dramatically because of its attributes. If the target is an evil spirit-type being, then it becomes an incomparably lethal force."

"This is a technique I spent many years racking my brains and meditating on, one that has fatal killing power against evil forces. I will pass it on to you now."

After saying that, North Kai began teaching Son Gohan the training method for the Spirit Bomb.

Once he understood it clearly, Son Gohan thought to himself, So it really is like that. He had once guessed at the principle behind the Spirit Bomb.

It was using spiritual power to communicate with the surroundings. If it were an ordinary person, of course they could not possibly achieve communication over such a vast range, but do not forget North Kai's special skill.

That was his ability to use his long antennae to communicate with the hearts of living beings anywhere. In terms of spiritual cultivation and ability, North Kai was extremely skilled.

So within the training of the Spirit Bomb, North Kai had also added his secret method for amplifying the mind.

Son Gohan tried it out and discovered that when it came to the speed and range of spiritual power expansion, this secret method's effect was simply as abnormal as the Kaioken.

He had only tried expanding it a little, yet he discovered that his mind easily covered an incomparably vast range.

Of course, such an exaggerated effect naturally had its drawbacks.

That was that this secret method purely strengthened spiritual power, but it would not give one's spiritual power any offensive ability or invasive ability, nor would it make the spiritual power more resilient, and so on.

But Son Gohan knew that this secret method could help him train his own spiritual power. Even if it could not strengthen it, it could train many aspects of it.

Because in the original work, after training in the Spirit Bomb, Son Goku was never controlled by any spiritual means again. Very likely, that was also thanks to the Spirit Bomb.

Moreover, in the later stages, Son Goku could even reach the same ability as North Kai, using powerful spiritual cultivation to communicate and exchange with others on the mental level. That alone was enough to prove many things.

So the Spirit Bomb's training method was actually divided into three parts. The first was the secret method for cultivating one's own spiritual power, and then the method of communicating with all things in heaven and earth.

Next was how to condense and transform this ki into a controllable state. This placed extremely harsh demands on both the body and the mind.

That did not trouble Son Gohan. He was extremely confident in his own spiritual cultivation.

Finally, there was the method of using the spiritual power produced by the mind to lock onto the target.

In the original work, for some unknown reason, the method Son Goku told Krillin was to sense the opponent's evil ki and then throw out the Spirit Bomb.

This method was possibly because Krillin had not trained in the method of locking onto enemies, so Son Goku had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

As a result, because of that fat bastard's interference, Vegeta discovered it ahead of time, forcing Krillin to throw it in helplessness, and he missed, allowing Vegeta to dodge it directly.

Looking over the history of the Spirit Bomb's use, as long as it was a Spirit Bomb launched by Son Goku, it had almost never missed even once.

From this, Son Gohan knew there had to be some special secret method that could help Son Goku lock onto enemies and hit them almost one hundred percent of the time.

But now he did not need to worry, because North Kai had already taught him all the secret methods.

At first, North Kai's requirement was that he use the spiritual secret method to cultivate his own mind and spirit first. Only when his released spiritual power could spread over a sufficiently vast range could he begin the next step of training.

North Kai estimated that if Son Gohan wanted to train to this level, it would take at least more than two months.

After all, the body was easy to train, but the mind and spirit were completely different. This aspect could not be rushed at all; it could only come about naturally with time.

But North Kai miscalculated once again. He had not expected Son Gohan to exceed his understanding yet again.

In only one month, Son Gohan cultivated his mind and spirit to the level North Kai required, and even better than that.

In truth, Son Gohan had succeeded in training it in only two weeks. However, he was not in a hurry to go find North Kai. Instead, he used a month and a half to make his foundation more solid.

Because training the body now was actually producing very little effect. Before Bulma developed an even stronger gravity device, there would be no way for his physical training to improve quickly.

Then what he needed to do now was strengthen his own potential as much as possible before going to Namek, making things convenient for his next plan.

Thinking of this, Son Gohan suddenly spoke to North Kai and asked, "My Lord North Kai, could I trouble you to help me communicate with my friend on Earth? There are some things I want to tell her."

"Piece of cake." The incomparably happy North Kai naturally did not care about such a small matter and immediately agreed.

Very soon, with North Kai's help, Son Gohan contacted Bulma, who was on Earth.

"You... are Gohan?" Bulma's extremely surprised voice sounded in his mind.

She had just been researching some key parts of the spaceship when the voice that suddenly appeared in her mind gave her a huge fright.

However, Bulma, who had always been very bold, quickly calmed down, then discovered that the voice was very familiar. After thinking slightly, she realized it was Son Gohan's voice.

"Yes, Sister Bulma, it's me, Gohan. I'm communicating with you now through Lord North Kai's spiritual radiation," Son Gohan quickly explained.

"I wanted to ask how things are going with the spaceship."

When Bulma heard that, she immediately became confident and said, "With my father and me working hard to tackle it, we've already cracked and thoroughly understood eighty percent of the spaceship's parts. The rest should also be completely conquered very soon."

North Kai's face twitched slightly. As the intermediary, he naturally knew the contents of the communication. He had not expected this kid to have long since made full preparations for heading into space.

Son Gohan calculated inwardly. It could absolutely be made ahead of time before Vegeta arrived on Earth, so he asked again, "Then how is the matter I asked you to help me solve last time?"

Bulma paused, then said, "You mean that gravity generator, right? That thing was originally a little difficult, but while researching the spaceship, we conveniently solved it already."

"What's the current maximum multiplier?" Son Gohan hurriedly asked.

"The current maximum is fifty times. I think that's already enough, right?" Bulma answered.

"No, that's far from enough. Sister Bulma, please help me raise it further," Son Gohan requested.

Bulma sighed helplessly and asked, "I know, I know. You training maniacs, seriously. Tell me, how many times do you want it raised to?"

"At least two hundred. If you can help me raise it to three hundred times, that would be best!"
