Hyperbolic Time Chamber

After finishing their discussion, everyone left.

Since they still had to retrieve the bodies of Yamcha and the others who had fallen in battle, An Xiu did not go with them. Instead, he headed to Karin Tower with Korin.

He needed some Senzu Beans for emergencies.

Although the Senzu Beans had already been used up during this point in the original story, as their cultivator, Korin naturally kept a stockpile of Senzu Bean seeds.

"Here are the Senzu Bean seeds you wanted, Saiyan."

Korin reluctantly took out a bag of Senzu Bean seeds and tossed it to An Xiu. "Let me warn you first: Senzu Beans take an extremely long time to cultivate, and their yield is very low. You won't be able to get any in the short term."

An Xiu replied calmly, "That's fine. I know there's a mysterious place on Earth where one day outside equals one year inside. I just need to cultivate the Senzu Beans there."

"Are you talking about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber on Kami's Lookout?"

Korin sounded astonished, deeply taken aback.

This Saiyan of mysterious origin seemed to know an extraordinary amount about Earth.

Not only did he know of the Senzu Beans, he even knew about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber on Kami's Lookout.

Though puzzled, Korin did not ask further. With the other party's strength, if he truly wanted to do something evil, it was not something Korin could stop anyway.

After obtaining the Senzu Bean seeds, An Xiu did not linger. He immediately set off for Kami's Lookout, found Mr. Popo, and explained the situation.

After sensing that An Xiu's spirit was pure enough, Mr. Popo agreed to his request to use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Kami's Lookout, lower level.

At the entrance to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

"This is it. There are basic living facilities inside."

Before An Xiu entered, Mr. Popo kindly reminded him, "But be careful. A person can only stay inside for two years in their lifetime. If you exceed that time, the exit will disappear, and you'll be trapped inside forever."

"Mm, I understand."

An Xiu nodded slightly. "If I stay for less than two years at a time, I can enter and leave multiple times, right?"

"In theory, yes," Mr. Popo said.

"Good. In a few days, once Son Goku recovers from his injuries, please bring him here. I want to train with him," An Xiu said.

Mr. Popo nodded. "All right. I'll bring Son Goku here."

After giving Mr. Popo his instructions, An Xiu entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

The moment the door closed, every trace of energy from the outside world vanished. An Xiu felt as though he had entered another world.

Around the exit stood a modestly sized house, fully equipped with living facilities. It even had modern appliances such as a refrigerator, along with plenty of food.

That food had not appeared out of thin air; Mr. Popo had specifically stored it there.

An Xiu sensed the peculiar space around him and tried to locate its weak points. With his current strength, breaking through this dimensional barrier still seemed somewhat difficult.

But after training for a while and fully awakening the power of his ancient Saiyan bloodline, even in his normal state, breaking this dimensional barrier should be effortless.

"It's time to get to work..."

An Xiu walked out of the house and into the vast, pure-white expanse beyond.

He needed to quickly familiarize himself with and master the immense power within his body. Even if he could not achieve the Legendary Super Saiyan form, he at least needed to develop the ordinary Super Saiyan transformation.

The Hyperbolic Time Chamber's tenfold gravity and constantly shifting extremes of heat and cold had almost no effect on An Xiu.

Six months later.

"Aah!"

With a hoarse, desperate roar, a green aura suddenly erupted around An Xiu's body, and his originally pitch-black pupils gradually took on a golden gleam.

His powerful energy shook the entire Hyperbolic Time Chamber without end, as though it might shatter at any moment.

A moment later, An Xiu stopped raising his energy and slowly withdrew from his humanoid Great Ape state.

"Still can't master Super Saiyan..."

Whether through rage or by gathering his energy in his back and releasing it, nothing worked. An Xiu simply could not break through and become a Super Saiyan.

An Xiu lowered his head and looked at his palm. He clenched his fist, feeling somewhat disappointed but not discouraged.

Over the past six months, he had not only become fully proficient with his strength in his normal state, but had also awakened the power of the humanoid Great Ape transformation, increasing his battle power to more than ten times his normal state.

With his current control over his strength in normal form, he could practically send an egg flying without breaking it.

He could even suppress his energy to the level of an ordinary person with only a few dozen battle power. Calling it master-level control would not be an exaggeration.

The reason he had achieved this was largely due to An Xiu's nearly perfect state of mind.

Decades of wandering the universe had forged An Xiu's resilient heart, steady temperament, and a powerful will capable of resisting loneliness and pain.

Yet it was precisely this mindset that kept An Xiu from breaking through his limits and mastering the power of Super Saiyan.

Even so, An Xiu was not in a hurry. With his current strength, he had more than enough ability to protect himself in the present timeline.

So long as he did not encounter an opponent on the level of a God of Destruction, he could practically go wherever he pleased in the universe.

Besides, even without training, An Xiu could feel that his strength in his normal state was continuously increasing.

The potential of the ancient Saiyan bloodline was far greater than he had expected. Compared to the new-version Broly's bloodline, it was no less impressive—if anything, it surpassed it.

During his time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, An Xiu had not merely been training. Cultivating Senzu Beans was also part of his plans.

Inside the small hut where he rested, he had packed down some soil and made a dedicated plot for growing Senzu Beans.

At the current rate, the first batch of cultivated Senzu Beans would fully mature in about another half a year. Optimistically, he could harvest at least twenty of them.

"With this many Senzu Beans, just farming passives should be enough to turn Son Goku into a Super Saiyan..."

An Xiu pondered to himself. He did not intend to remain in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber any longer.

Training had to be done step by step. He planned to go out and look around, while also speeding up the Senzu Beans' growth so he could cultivate the next batch as soon as possible, just in case.

Four days later, Kami's Lookout.

Son Goku, fully recovered from his injuries, arrived as promised. Led by Mr. Popo, he entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, An Xiu was resting with his eyes closed.

The instant he sensed Son Goku's energy, he flashed over and appeared in front of him.

"Yo, long time no see, Kakarot."

An Xiu patted Son Goku on the shoulder, smiling.
