Dragon Ball One Power Level Per Second

"Ki?"

Upon hearing Lin Chuan's words, Gohan immediately latched onto the key point.

It must be said he is clever.

No wonder he could become a scholar in the future.

Frankly speaking, the majority of Saiyans are fighters.

Although there are non-combatant types among Saiyans, someone like Gohan, who is incredibly intelligent and a warrior with boundless potential, is virtually non-existent! If there's one way to describe him, it would be "talented in both literature and martial arts."

Looking at Gohan, Lin Chuan's mind inadvertently returned to the original setting.

[No matter what, he was originally supposed to replace Son Goku as the protagonist... Too bad it turned into what fans call "Gohan's decline."] With a thought, Lin Chuan sighed before preparing his explanation.

"It seems that Goku hasn't taught you anything," Lin Chuan remarked.

A father who is Earth's greatest martial artist, his son was raised like this.

"I wanted to train with Dad, but Mom was afraid I would get hurt, so she never agreed," Gohan replied somewhat plaintively.

Hearing this, Lin Chuan thought as much and didn't make much of it.

Many things are highly controversial by nature.

Is Chi-Chi wrong? 

She isn't.

It's just a matter of different perspectives.

Frankly, Lin Chuan could understand.

He meant that Goku hadn't even taught Gohan what ki was.

"Let's not talk about your family's past for now."

"Let me explain to you what ki is!"

"Ki is the most fundamental energy within a living body, something every living being possesses... This hidden power in life can be manipulated freely with cultivation or training..."

"Just like this."

Lin Chuan lifted his hand as he spoke and conjured a golden ball of light.

It would be impossible for a beginner to conjure such a large ball of ki instantly.

But once ki is cultivated to a certain level, and its use is understood, it can be deployed effortlessly.

"Is this... ki, Uncle Lin Chuan?" Gohan asked, fully aware yet curious, his eyes wide with wonder.

His first encounter with cultivation, specifically with ki, naturally opened up a new world for Gohan.

Lin Chuan nodded slightly, then dissipated the ki ball, continuing, "Ki comes in many forms, and its applications are even more varied!"

"For instance, we can use ki for energy attacks, which you've already seen recently."

"We can also use it to enhance our physical attacks during close combat, causing greater destruction, among other things."

"Of course, flying is one of them."

"So, when you say you want to learn how to fly, mastering ki is the first step! Only by learning to cultivate and control ki can you possibly fly."

Lin Chuan controlled his body to float slightly above the ground as he finished speaking.

This time, it was just a slight levitation.

Gohan listened intently, gradually understanding that he must learn to use ki to do various things, like flying.

Lin Chuan landed again and looked at Gohan with a smile.

"Uncle Lin Chuan, please teach me," Gohan asked politely, truly appearing teachable.

Do you even need to hesitate when he's asking like this?

Immediately, Lin Chuan took him to the lawn, had him sit down cross-legged, and began guiding him to sense the presence of ki within himself.

Simply put, this method also relies on one's aptitude.

For Lin Chuan, it took two to three years to reach a certain level of mastery in ki cultivation.

Just guiding the ki within to let oneself feel its presence had taken Lin Chuan many days.

Even with the help of Saiyan ancestral memories and a natural ability for energy attacks, it was incredibly difficult to guide it without proper ki cultivation techniques.

In simple terms, when he was only two or three years old, he hadn't learned to walk yet, but he learned to run first.

When you come back and want to walk properly, you'll find you really can't walk properly.

Only through daily and monthly training gradually accumulating experience, can you truly and completely control your power.

Vegeta realized this, and then, after recovering from severe injuries from battling Goku, he went on to rapidly master a variety of applications of ki.

At the time, he had merely begun to sense and control his ki; after arriving on Earth, Vegeta truly began to transform.

Vegeta is a genius!

There is no doubt about that!

But he advanced so quickly in strength, and his mastery of ki reached a certain level because he had sufficient strength, making the basic aspects of ki cultivation relatively easy.

Just like when Lin Chuan's strength reached thousands and even tens of thousands, the basics of using and cultivating Ki became incredibly simple.

...

"Remember, guiding your ki isn't about forcing it or physically exerting yourself, but about feeling and directing it with your heart."

Standing up, Lin Chuan remembered to give Gohan one last piece of advice before walking away, leaving him to his practice.

Gohan's training issue was temporarily resolved, and Lin Chuan also needed to consider other matters.

He would never have thought that just because he changed Gohan's training method and taught him how to sense and guide his ki first, Gohan would quickly possess the power level of the current era's Z-fighters.

Gohan's potential is limitless, and just a little guidance can cause his power to surge.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

For now, Lin Chuan needed time to solidify his strength level seriously.

Even if the strength provided by the system felt like it was his own.

Alone in another part of the yard, Lin Chuan sat down slowly, his hands crossed over his chest, his eyes glowing.

During his warm-up earlier, he had felt a strange sensation.

That was, as his strength increased and his power surged, his body seemed to convey a sense of dissatisfaction.

The feeling that he could unleash great power suggests that more training could significantly increase his strength.

[While gaining 1 point of combat power per second, is my potential also increasing? So, is my body instinctively telling me this?] Lin Chuan pondered.

This will be verified over the coming period.

Closing his eyes, Lin Chuan entered a meditative state.

He had learned this training method from Piccolo and Krillin in the original stories.

Previously, without opponents and many good training methods, meditation and simulating opponents in a subconscious world were among the few methods Lin Chuan had.

Now, he just needed to integrate this into his routine to optimize his power more effectively.
