As time slipped by unnoticed, a week had passed.
"I did it! Finally, I did it! So this is Ki!!" Raditz excimed iement, staring at the glowing sphere of energy in his hand.
The loud outburst startled Talot, Sari, and of course, Tights. Over the past seven days, Raditz had spent almost all his time, apart from eating and sleeping, trying to sense his own Ki.
Perhaps because he was still young and couldn't grasp the meaning of Ki as Talot had expined, or maybe because he was overthinking it, he assumed trolling the energy within his body was the same as trolling Ki. As a result, he made nress for days.
But in this moment, Raditz had finally mao sehe presence of Ki and found a way to perceive aura.
"gratutions, Raditz. You've finally taken your first step," Talot said in an encing tone, avoiding aion of how slow Raditz's progress had been.
This also served to show Raditz that his hard work aying off. Otherwise, he might lose the motivation needed for future training.
Oher hand, Sari, seeing Raditz's smug expression, couldn't resist teasing him. "You know, Aunt Gine was able to perceive aura in just three days. I wasn't quite as fast, but I ma in five. And you? It took you seven days."
Sari's words hit Raditz hard, filling his heart with immense rese.
Isn't this just adding insult to injury?
Talot was left at a loss, unsure how to fort Raditz after Sari's jab.
Fortunately, Raditz wasn't the type to be defeated by mere words.
Having endured so much hardship over the years, he turhese verbal blows into motivation instead.
"Just wait and see! You took three years to reach a power level of 22,000! I'll get there even faster than you!" Raditz decred loudly.
Sari rolled her eyes. She wao point out that by the time Raditz reached 22,000, she'd probably be at 50,000. Who would wait around for him to catch up?
But seeing the look in Talot's eyes, she obediently held her tongue.
Tights, the petitiveness of the group, rubbed her forehead.
Ever since Raditz joihem, their little circle had bee increasingly lively. While this was a good thing, the intense petitive atmosphere was overwhelming for her, an ordinary human.
"Now that I perceive aura," Raditz said impatiently, "you promised, Talot! As soon as I could do this, you'd teach me other ways to get stronger!"
Hearing this, Talot didn't hesitate and replied directly, "Training Ki is already a way to enhance your strength. In fact, it's currently the most crucial method. As for other forms of training, it's just as I mentioned befravity training. If you endure fifty times Earth's gravity in a short time, your strength will at least rival Nappa's."
As he spoke, Talot and Sari led Raditz into the Gravity Chamber.
Although Raditz had already learned about many things and had some uanding of the spaceship, he'd never been ihe Gravity Chamber before and had no clear cept of gravity training.
"Let's start with ten times Earth's gravity. It should feel familiar to you, and with your strength, you should adapt quickly," Talot said, activating the gravity devid guiding Raditz on how to use it.
In the enviro of ten times Earth's gravity, Raditz felt no signifit impact.
Instead, it reminded him of life o Vegeta.
Since leaving P Vegeta, he had rarely entered ps with equivalent gravity. Most of the phey visited had much lravity.
"I think I uand how gravity training works now. Ten times is uimating me. Let's jump straight to twenty times!" Raditz sigalot to k it up.
Seeing Raditz so fident, Talot chuckled and hen increased the gravity to twenty times.
The shift to twenty times gravity immediately caused his body to grow heavier, and his breathing became noticeably bored.
Still, with a power level just over 900, he mao bear it.
"Add ten more times!" Raditz's words took Talot by surprise.
Although it wasn't shog that he could withstand twenty times gravity, it was indeed bold to attempt thirty times gravity without eveing used to the burden of twenty times.
Sari, standing nearby, watched with amusement.
Wherained with Aunt Gi wasn't much different from Raditz's experience.
After increasing the gravity to thirty times in one go and finding it unbearable, she eventually had to scale back to twenty times gravity and gradually improve. It took her half a month to finally be able to ehe rigorous training uhirty times gravity.
At thirty times gravity, Raditz finally felt overwhelming pressure.
His movements became sluggish, and his limbs felt unbearably heavy. His breathing grew shallow, and the ck of oxyge him lightheaded. Veins began bulging visibly across his body.
"How's it going? If you 't ha, we lower the gravity. Gravity training o be gradual, especially since you're just starting to train in Ki," Talot suggested.
Raditz didn't respond.
No one knew where he found the strength, but he began to enjoy this immense pressure.
The sensatio exhirating to him.
Both Talot and Sari were caught off guard by his rea.
In the end, her of them disturbed him.
Since he e, they decided to let him go ahead. If he wants to rapidly improve his strength, challenging his limits is absolutely essential.
If he couldn't even hahis, how could he expect to truly grow strong?
Talot's surprise stemmed from the fact that this was Raditz's first experieh gravity training, a he was so determined.
…..
Ba the cockpit, Tights was writing while eating snacks.
Talot and Sari didn't disturb her as they each took a seat on the chair.
"Raditz has been training for a week now. Are we heading back to Earth , Brother Talot?" Sari asked.
inally, the destination should have beeermined a few days ago, but in order to give Raditz some extra time, they had been aimlessly drifting through space.
Back to Earth?
It wasn't the time yet!
"We're not going back to Earth for now; after all, we are currently in flict with the Frieza Force," Talot said.
"So where are we headi? We 't just keep drifting aimlessly in space forever, we?" Sari tinued asking.
The question caught Tights' attention. She looked up and said, "I think we should find a pce to hide for now. A few days ago, we intercepted hat the Frieza Force is after us. Specifically, the Ginyu Force is hunting us down. I've never seen them myself, but Jae they're the stro squad under Frieza's and."
As Tights spoke, she maniputed the trol system, bringing up the intelligence reports of the Frieza Force.
"Frieza is indeed clever. Knowing that his subordinates Zarbon and Dodoria are no match for us, he sent the Ginyu Forstead. However, I am not afraid of the Ginyu Force. Even if Ginyu himself es, his power level is only 120,000!" Talot decred fidently.
"But isn't your power level just 88,000? That's a difference of 32,000! How do you expect to fight him? You should be thankful that our ship has an advanced cloaking system. Frieza could break his head and still not figure that o," Tights said, popping a potato chip into her mouth.
"I have my ways! In short, unless Frieza himself shows up, no one else is qualified to make me feel scared…. And even if he does show up, I'm not afraid. Worst-case sario, I'll use teleportation or Instant Transmission to escape." Talot's response made Tights ponder as she held her .
"So what's your pn, then? Don't tell me you're pnning to..." Her heart raced with anticipation.
Being a , she had already started to imagine some plot developments.
Sari, equally curious, waited for Talot to reveal his pn.
"Rather than hiding, I've e up with a much more eaining idea. Since Frieza wants to catch us, I think we should deliberately put ourselves in his sights."
"Let him know that we are always around, yet make it impossible for him to find us, while also wreaking havod causing him some trouble along the way."
Saying that, he revealed a mischievous expression.
This pn didn't e to him just now—Talot had sidered it before but hadn't solidified the details until now.
Since Frieza was i on capturing them, Talot wasn't going to sit idly by and do nothing.
