Tenfold Gravity

On the morning of the tenth day after Lin Yuan and Launch returned from their honeymoon.

In the Gravity Chamber in the Lin family's backyard, Lin Yuan was doing the most basic physical training. Sweat had already soaked through his training uniform.

After finishing a set, Lin Yuan took a deep breath and trudged over to the control panel. He adjusted the gravity from seven times to eight times.

As the gravity setting changed, Lin Yuan felt every bone in his body suddenly become incomparably heavy.

His knees buckled uncontrollably. He braced himself against the floor, and breathing became extraordinarily difficult. Eight times Earth's gravity pressed down on him like an invisible mountain, every muscle fiber groaning in agony.

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, veins bulging across his forehead. He could feel his cells struggling to survive beneath the crushing pressure, each one desperately adapting to this terrifying environment.

Five minutes later, Lin Yuan could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the floor. With difficulty, he raised an arm and pressed a ring-shaped device strapped to his upper arm.

"Beep."

The gravity in the Gravity Chamber instantly vanished. Lin Yuan sat up and panted heavily.

I probably pulled some muscles again, Lin Yuan thought silently. He broke off half a Senzu Bean and swallowed it in one bite.

The pain in his body slowly faded.

I still need to acquire a Saiyan physique as soon as possible. Otherwise, with an Earthling's body, the gains from training in the Gravity Chamber are far too small.

If I were a Saiyan, with passive farming as the premise...

Training under ten times gravity should easily raise my battle power to around five thousand to eight thousand. It could go even higher, but the growth would be much slower.

After resting for a little while longer, Lin Yuan resumed his training. What he needed to do now was adapt to ten times gravity and raise his battle power to one thousand!

At the same time, Goku, Tien Shinhan, Krillin, Yamcha, Nam, and everyone at the Ultra Instinct Dojo were all undergoing grueling training.

Everyone had only one goal: the World Martial Arts Tournament three years from now.

As for Lin Yuan's next target, it was Vegeta and Nappa after the World Martial Arts Tournament.

As for Raditz...

At this point in time, Raditz should have a battle power of around 1,400 to 1,500. Lin Yuan only had 700, or roughly 860+ after taking off his weighted clothes.

But with his precise control over ki, combined with Instant Transmission...

Lin Yuan could unleash a Tri-Beam with nearly 2,000 battle power for a short period of time. Raditz basically had no chance of dodging it. Even if he somehow dodged once, Lin Yuan still had nearly a thousand Senzu Beans.

Against Saiyans who did not train their ki much, so long as their battle power was not more than three times Lin Yuan's, he was confident he could fight them. At the very least, he could ensure he would not die.

After letting his thoughts wander for a while, Lin Yuan continued his training under eight times gravity.

The training that followed continued day after day.

As though possessed, Lin Yuan entered the Gravity Chamber every morning at first light and did not leave until nightfall. His body gradually adapted to the eightfold gravity environment. At first, he could only stand still; then he could walk slowly; eventually, he was able to train normally.

Time passed quickly like this, and in the blink of an eye, a year and a half had gone by.

By now, Lin Yuan had completely adapted to ten times gravity. He had trained within it for a long time, and his battle power had long since surpassed 1,000.

Training was undoubtedly extremely tedious for Lin Yuan, but fortunately, Launch was there to keep him company. Whenever he could not take it anymore, he would go out with Launch to relax.

Today, he planned to head to Kami's Lookout to complete the eighth task from his system: fight Mr. Popo and gain the upper hand.

After saying goodbye to Launch, Lin Yuan used Instant Transmission to arrive at Kami's Lookout.

At that moment, two Gokus were fighting with great enthusiasm atop Kami's Lookout.

When one of them saw Lin Yuan arrive, he was immediately distracted and cried out in delight.

"Lin..."

Bang!

Before Goku could finish speaking, the clone struck him with a heavy punch. His entire body was sent flying.

After landing, Goku rubbed his reddened cheek and indignantly pointed at the vacant-eyed "Goku."

"You cheated! You attacked me while I was talking. That's so underhanded!"

After saying that, the two tangled together once more.

Lin Yuan walked straight up to Mr. Popo, greeted him, and explained why he had come. He said that he wanted to spar with Mr. Popo.

After hearing this, Mr. Popo nodded and said it was no problem. He was ready to accompany him at any time.

The two then stood facing one another. Lin Yuan grinned, clenched his fists, and let his aura rise continuously as he assumed his opening stance.

"Then I'm coming, Mr. Popo. Please excuse any offense!"

Mr. Popo nodded with a smile. Though his outward expression did not change, he was greatly shocked inside.

I never expected that after not seeing him for barely over a year, Lin Yuan's strength would have improved to this extent. In terms of strength alone, he has probably already surpassed me.

That was what Mr. Popo thought, yet his hands effortlessly neutralized each of Lin Yuan's attacks.

Seeing Lin Yuan and Mr. Popo sparring, Goku immediately sat down nearby to watch with great interest. As for the other him, he had already turned into a lump of hard clay.

Lin Yuan vanished in an instant. The next moment, he appeared behind Mr. Popo, his right fist gathering violent ki as it smashed down fiercely! Yet Mr. Popo's figure dispersed like an illusion, and the punch only tore through an afterimage.

"Again?!" Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and spun around swiftly, only to see Mr. Popo already standing to his left, lightly sending a palm strike toward him.

Lin Yuan sent out a palm strike as well.

"Bang!"

The two clashed palms, both sliding several meters backward.

Lin Yuan felt inwardly impressed. Mr. Popo's power level shown by the system was only just over one thousand, less than 1100.

His own power level had already reached 1200.

Logically, he should have been able to crush Mr. Popo, but—

Judging from his performance, Mr. Popo was clearly at ease.

This alone showed that Mr. Popo's control over ki far surpassed his own!

If that's the case, then I'll make up for it with strength and skill!

Lin Yuan took off his weighted clothing, and his power level abruptly soared to 1450!

Feeling his body at its peak condition, Lin Yuan's fighting spirit rose, yet his expression remained calm.

He had learned that from Mr. Popo.

The battle continued!

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and decided to change his strategy.

"Super Ultimate—!" Silver-white energy slowly gathered between Lin Yuan's hands.

"Extreme Intent Cannon!!" He thrust both hands forward.

Mr. Popo remained unhurried. He shifted slightly to the side, and the ki blast grazed past him, shooting straight into the sky. However, a faint smile curled across Lin Yuan's lips.

"I'm not done yet!"

He gathered energy in his hands again and instantly fired two more small ki blasts, one from each side, cutting off Mr. Popo's escape routes!

Mr. Popo's eyes flickered slightly, as though he was somewhat surprised, but he remained composed, his body flowing through the narrow gaps like water.

—However, that was exactly what Lin Yuan wanted!

"Now!" Lin Yuan shouted, and his body suddenly vanished!

"Instant Transmission!"

The next second, he appeared behind Mr. Popo. Mr. Popo had just completed his evasive movement and had not yet readjusted his stance.

"You fell for it!" Lin Yuan gathered one final ki blast in his right hand and slammed it viciously into Mr. Popo's back!

"Boom—!"

The ki blast exploded, sending dust flying everywhere. Mr. Popo was blasted away by the impact, tumbling several times through the air before steadying himself.

Lin Yuan panted, revealing a victorious smile. "Finally... I hit you!"

Mr. Popo slowly floated down and patted the dust from his clothes, still smiling. "An excellent tactic, Mr. Lin Yuan."

"Just luck, just luck! I still have a lot to learn. Let's leave it at that for today, Mr. Popo. Sparring with you also made me realize that I still have many shortcomings. So, I would like to continue training at the Lookout with Goku until the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament."

Mr. Popo smiled and nodded.

"Of course you are welcome, Mr. Lin Yuan."

"Yay!"

Goku cheered from the side.
