Rectifying the Heart

Before I knew it, I had drifted off to sleep!

Son Wuling dreamt of his past and present lives. In his past life, he was walking with his best friend on a rainy day, holding an umbrella, when a bolt of lightning struck him directly.

When I woke up again, I was an infant.

The image of Rose lingered in my mind for about Number 18. She had been in the Dragon Balls world for about forty years and, like Son Goku, had a wife and children!

Buzz!

The sound of water dripping through stone rang out in a pitch-black space. The familiar sight startled Son Wuling.

"This, this is..."

Son Wuling never expected that he would return to his own consciousness space, the place where he and his Heart Demon had seen each other.

"You've finally returned, Son Wuling!"

A figure formed from the dark, viscous liquid; the Heart Demon Son Wuling appeared before Son Wuling.

"Shenron? So my Heart Demon haven't completely disappeared. No wonder after I reached the God Realm, I always felt like there was a voice or something was grabbing me, and my cultivation slowed down, making it impossible for me to completely calm down."

Son Wuling looked at his hands and a relieved expression appeared on his face. He now completely understood the true meaning of his grandfather's words. He was Son Wuling, what did it matter if he was called Sun Wuling Ling Yuxing? He was who he was, so what if he was called Sun Son Wuling or Ling Yuxing?

The Heart Demon Son Wuling spoke, "Our meeting again will be our parting, Son Wuling. Your wish has been fulfilled. Goodbye."

The Heart Demon Son Wuling's voice changed, becoming ancient and full of mystery. He transformed back into the form of Shenron, Shenron body turning into a golden stream of light and disappearing into the dark space.

The Hyperbolic Time Chamber!

Son Wuling suddenly opened his eyes, feeling completely enlightened. He no longer felt stupid, complicated, or confused; it was as if he had been reborn.

Call out!

Son Wuling instantly arrived in the pitch-black, cold, and endless space. The aura of the Ultra Instinct Freedom surged throughout his body, forming a thin, pale silver film, and his silver hair flowed gracefully with the movement of the aura.

After the Ultra Instinct Sign, it represents a further advancement, a more perfect understanding of the power of Ultra Instinct, and the energy of Ultra Instinct is perfectly integrated into the body. This current state can be called Ultra Instinct: Internalized!

In Son Wuling's memory, Super Saiyan Blue was about integrating the divine power emanating from blue into one's body, unleashing the full power of Super Saiyan Blue. His current Ultra Instinct: Internalized is also based on this principle.

"Now, my power has finally surpassed Beerus's!"

Son Wuling exhaled a breath of stale air, and the Ultra Instinct energy on his body dissipated, returning him to his normal state. The reason why his Ultra Instinct was so strong was because his basic strength was about the same as that of the Mystic Gohan in his memory.

In my memory, Son Goku's Ultra Instinct was not yet at the level of Super Saiyan, so it couldn't compare to his. However, if Son Goku were to fuse Ultra Instinct with his Super Saiyan form in the future, he would probably become even more powerful!

The Lookout!

Vegeta and Son Goku were sparring with each other, while Piccolo sat in a chair, staring at the door of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, utterly puzzled.

"It's been over three months. It's really strange. After reaching the Ultra Instinct, the harsh environment in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber shouldn't have been helpful for his cultivation. What's wrong? Could there be something wrong with Son Wuling?"

Buzz!

Suddenly, the door to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber opened!

Son Goku and Vegeta also stopped fighting and flew over.

"You're out, Wuling! Sigh, you seem different."

Son Goku looked Son Wuling over and felt that she had changed somewhat. A faint smile appeared on her face, and even the aura around her seemed much calmer, without the sharpness of before.

"Of course, brother! I feel like I've been reborn!"

Son Wuling looked at Vegeta and Son Goku and asked, "Want to try transforming into Gogeta or Vegito?"

"Tch... you bastard, as soon as you were at a disadvantage, you used Forced Separation Technique to separate us directly."

Vegeta pouted in dissatisfaction. He and Son Goku fused using the Potara Earrings to become Vegito, and fused using the Metamoran Fusion Dance to Gogeta, but Son Wuling knew the Forced Separation Technique.

"Hahaha... If I can force you to separate, then that guy named Ryan can too."

Son Wuling replied with a smile.

"Oh no, what do we do? If even combining our powers doesn't work, then we're doomed to lose completely."

Son Goku looked utterly dejected.

Son Wuling began to explain, "When you merge with Vegeta to become a completely new warrior, both your body and soul will be entirely new. And the soul is the foundation of life. Brother, now that you've learned the Soul Eye, the Soul Barrier technique shouldn't be too difficult for you."

"So, does that mean that once I learn the Soul Barrier technique, I won't be afraid of techniques like Forced Separation Technique?"

Son Goku exclaimed in surprise, "He's clearly around forty years old, but he's acting like a little kid!"

"That's right...not only that, the Soul Barrier can also defend against attacks and senses targeting the soul. Cell was able to use the Soul Barrier back then, which is why we couldn't find him even with our Soul Eye."

After teaching Son Goku the Soul Barrier technique, Son Wuling bid farewell to Piccolo, Dende, and Popo, who were training there, and then Instant Transmission back to Mount Paozu.

Son Goku and Vegeta entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to begin a new training session. Son Goku also had to learn the Soul Barrier technique to prevent himself from being Vegito later by Gogeta using the Forced Separation Technique.

Back to Mount Paozu!

At the Mount Paozu, Android 17, Android 21, Broly, Rose, and Number 18 are all training in preparation for the upcoming Tournament of Power.

At this moment, Rose is fighting Android 21 and Number 18 simultaneously, while Android 17 and Broly are exchanging blows and sparring. Broly his normal form, while Bulla, Bulma, Trunks, Son Goten, and the others are watching from the sidelines.

Upon sensing Son Wuling's presence, everyone stopped. Rose exclaimed with delight, "Dad, you're back!"

"Yes, I'm back!"

Son Wuling smiled and nodded. At this moment, Rose's martial arts uniform was already somewhat tattered, and even her close-fitting fishnet-like bodysuit had some tears.

"Your clothes are all torn, Rose!"

Son Wuling helped Rose tidy up her somewhat messy long golden hair.

Although she is only eleven years old, Rose already looks graceful and elegant. She looks a lot like Number 18, or even like Number 18 when she was a child. Her budding beauty is already taking shape. Perhaps due to precocious development, Rose's body has already begun to develop at the age of eleven.

"Dad, I designed my own combat suit. I've already asked Uncle Pilaf to design it for me. You'll all see it at the Tournament of Power."

Not only that, Rose is more lively than when she was a child. Perhaps it's because of Bulla. She's not as compassionate and mature as she was when she was little. But for Son Wuling and Android Number 18, as long as Rose doesn't go astray and lives happily, that's all that matters.
