NOVEL NEXT Chapter 44: Ten Days Later
Time flies like a fleeting horse.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
In a wilderness area of the private residential estate of the Capsule Corporation, two figures, one big and one small were engaged in basic combat training.
Who else could it be but Lin Chuan and Gohan? Over the past few days, Gohan had been following Lin Chuan like a shadow, embarking on the path of a cultivator seeking strength.
Didn't Lin Chuan teach Gohan to sense, guide, and cultivate ki?
Indeed!
Originally, Lin Chuan thought that just sensing and guiding ki would take Gohan a long time, requiring one to grasp the knack independently.
Especially since Gohan had never been exposed to cultivation...
However, to his surprise, Gohan took less than a day to sense and guide the ki in one go.
Although it was only successful once, it shocked Lin Chuan.
Thinking it was a fluke, Lin Chuan didn't expect that Gohan could easily release his ki the next day, handling it effortlessly.
This situation almost made Lin Chuan curse out loud.
Damn, comparing oneself to others will kill you!
He remembered how, even though he knew the original story's plot and had an idea about the cultivation methods to try, it still took him several days to succeed and nearly ten days to master it completely.
Although he was only two or three years old back then, younger than Gohan now, that couldn't be an excuse for being inferior.
Such talent and bone structure were simply too incredible.
Especially after guiding the ki, Lin Chuan could perceive that Gohan's apparent strength had increased.
The system also showed that his combat power value had reached 100 points.
Lin Chuan could see how much combat power someone else had through the system's ability.
This was a hidden feature that Lin Chuan discovered after a lot of exploration and a whim of experimentation.
As long as he focused intently on a target, he could see the combat power index possessed by the target.
Not only had Gohan's combat power increased, but his young body also became extraordinarily tough under the enhancement of his power.
In two days, he had completed all the cultivation steps Lin Chuan had assigned him.
Even on the third day, Gohan innovated independently, condensing energy balls.
He activated the protagonist module.
Unbelievable?
Indeed unbelievable!
But his potential was already number one in the original story.
After three days of accumulation, by the fourth day, Lin Chuan had no choice but to teach Gohan the cultivation methods of the Flight Technique seriously.
Compared to guiding, sensing, and controlling ki, the cultivation of the Flight Technique is even simpler.
Because if you can guide the ki out, it proves you can initially control your ki.
With this, using ki to lift your body and achieve flight isn't difficult.
Gohan's terrifying talent again made Lin Chuan realize that teaching him requires little effort.
He only casually taught the Flight Technique, and the boy learned it easily, managing to hover and float independently.
Although flying was still a bit strained, as long as he became more proficient in controlling ki and the ki grew stronger, flying would be an effortless task.
On the fifth day, Gohan shocked Lin Chuan as usual.
First, he had completely mastered the flight technique and could fly freely in the sky.
Second, Gohan actively informed him that since he had mastered the Flight Technique, during the practice of sensing and understanding ki, he always felt an uncontrollable urge to unleash the power within.
This made Lin Chuan curious until he saw the burst of ki Gohan voluntarily released. Lin Chuan was stunned.
At the age of four, after just under five days of cultivation, his combat power had unwittingly exceeded 500 points!
Importantly, this was something Gohan could control himself.
It seemed that Lin Chuan's teaching of ki cultivation had indirectly unlocked the big lock trapping Gohan's potential, causing his strength to skyrocket rapidly.
Compared to Gohan's year of wilderness survival training in the original story, such results were much more effective in such a short time.
Imagine that not even five days had passed, and he had already broken 500 points; it's not an exaggeration to say that breaking a thousand would have been entirely possible in a few more days.
Understanding Gohan's current situation, Lin Chuan began to take his training seriously and no longer left him to practice independently.
Since that day, because of something Bulma communicated, Chi-Chi found this place, and certain events unfolded.
Lin Chuan saw a different Son, Gohan, and learned of his inner desire to become stronger.
He longed to become stronger to protect everything he wanted to protect
.
A child's grand dream, because he chose to be independent, Gohan, for the first time, refused his mother's consideration for his own sake.
He wanted to avoid growing up in a greenhouse and used a firm attitude to make Chi-Chi relent and change, actively seeking Lin Chuan's guidance.
Thus, starting from the sixth day, Lin Chuan taught Gohan basic training and then spent two hours each day sparring with him to hone his combat skills.
Besides, Gohan respected him enough to treat him like a teacher or family elder, was obedient, and never complained.
Such a character could not be divorced from Chi-Chi's upbringing, so she, too, was successful.
...
"Ha~~!!"
As the last traces of the sunset's crimson faded, Gohan gave a final shout, leaping up and delivering a powerful punch.
Naturally, Lin Chuan caught it easily, dissolving the force and helping him stabilize on the ground.
"Good power, better than yesterday, but there are still too many superfluous movements. Remember, any fancy stuff in battle is useless," Lin Chuan advised Gohan.
"Yes, Uncle Lin Chuan," Gohan replied obediently, though out of breath.
Lin Chuan was very pleased with this.
If it weren't for his being a transmigrator or his knowledge of the future, taking a child-like Gohan as a disciple would undoubtedly be the right choice.
After sufficient rest, Lin Chuan wasted no time, telling Gohan, "That's enough training for today. Let's head back."
Lin Chuan used the Flight Technique to fly towards Bulma's large dome house.
Gohan had already mastered flying, though his speed still needed to meet the standards. But even so, he could manage speeds of tens to hundreds of meters per second.
Don't think such speed is impressive; after several days of continuous training, Gohan's combat power could already rival what he achieved with Piccolo's year of harsh training in the original story.
His combat power reached 950 points!
This figure completely surpassed the full burst of power his father, Goku, had when Raditz arrived on Earth.
And if he used an energy attack, Gohan's maximum combat power could reach 1200 points!
Lin Chuan had tested this himself, although deploying this energy burst would quickly deplete his strength, causing his combat power to fall to just six or seven hundred points rapidly.
Returning to flying speed, with this level of power, breaking the sound barrier or even multiple times the speed of sound would be completely possible.
If not, it only means the training isn't sufficient yet.
