บท 71: Power level surpassing 10,000! Going to Planet Namek
[Finally! My my power level has completely stabilized at 12,000!]
Inside the hundred times Gravity Chamber, the space was bathed with dense red light.
The gravity display showed a staggering 75G!
Based on the principle of seeking a stable foundation in everything, Talot was making progress step by step. Not only did he achieve his second major life goal over half a month ago, but he has also made a significant leap to reach his current level.
His power level had surpassed 10,000.
In simpler terms, when watching the anime, reading the manga, or fan fiction, it always seemed like just a matter of increasing numbers.
But in reality, the difficulty was immense. It wasn't just about increasing strength; every aspect of oneself had to break past its limits to truly cross that threshold.
After the breakthrough, Talot could clearly feel his life level rise—this special feeling is something he had never experienced before.
At this moment, Talot finally understood the realm Bardock had reached when his power level broke past 10,000.
It was as if a door had opened, revealing a new world to him, and his subsequent growth will be even more rapid.
It was amazing to think that after a month and a half of enduring 60 and 70 times gravity, he had only barely gained 2,000 points in power level, finally breaking past 10,000.
In the following half month, even with just a 5x increase in gravity, it brought about a total increase of 2000 points in power level.
Having gone through this, Talot gained a deeper understanding of martial arts in the Dragon Ball world.
Especially considering that in the original work, Goku only trained under a hundred times gravity to achieve such a significant increase, he gained a new perspective.
Various factors could interfere with and limit the growth of one's power.
If they trained under the same conditions, Talot believed he wouldn't lose to anyone.
However, comparing his current situation to the Goku from the original work would just be asking for a beating.
At least, even after completing hundred times gravity training, Talot would absolutely not be able to reach a power level of 90,000!
Forget about 90,000—even reaching 50,000 would be a near-impossible feat.
To him, right now, it was nothing but a fantasy.
Even if he completed the hundred times gravity training and added weighted clothes for an enhanced version of gravity training, the result would be the same.
Of course, if given more time, he could do it.
...
Talot sighed with relief as he finished his training and shut down the gravity system. He then began his daily review.
This review is a routine he follows every day; without it, his training would only increase his brute strength without any real growth in his understanding or mastery of his skills. He also wouldn't be able to fully control his power.
This is something he had learned from Son Gohan during their martial arts training discussions.
Of course, the guidance of Turtle Hermit was also key.
Turtle Hermit had been instrumental in helping Talot improve his martial arts prowess.
Because of this, he would frequently visit Turtle Hermit to discuss martial arts.
This master of martial arts possessed far more knowledge than he had realized.
It was no surprise that Turtle Hermit would later stand on the stage of the Tournament of Power.
In truth, he had been making steady progress all along. However, the power level requirements on Earth were simply not that high in the early days, and the planet's limitations capped his potential.
After the Z storyline, when the Great Universe Era began, Turtle Hermit continued to train in secret to improve his strength. However, compared to the Z Fighters, he was far too weak to be considered a major player.
Times had changed. The old generation had faded from the stage of history, and a new generation had taken over.
It wasn't until the Tournament of Power during the Super era that Turtle Hermit's strength was revealed.
Turtle Hermit and Talot's discussions served two purposes: first, Turtle Hermit used Talot to improve himself; second, Turtle Hermit truly liked Talot.
If Talot weren't already so powerful, Turtle Hermit would have definitely taken him on as a disciple.
After all, who wouldn't want a highly talented disciple?
Who wouldn't want a disciple who has progressed so far on the martial arts path?
Unfortunately, Talot had no intention of formally becoming anyone's disciple, only addressing him as Master Roshi.
...
After stabilizing his strength, Talot finally stepped out of the Gravity Chamber.
The moment he came out, the first thing he saw was Salari sitting on a swing nearby as she waited for him.
Her legs were long, smooth, and attractive.
Salari had always kept herself in great shape. Even at this age, it was clear she was going to have a super-hot figure in the future.
Add to that her striking face—there wasn't much more that needed to be said about her looks.
Though there's a saying that girls change a lot as they grow, sometimes for the worse, Saiyans' appearance was practically set from birth. Unless something major happened, they wouldn't change much in appearance, whether male or female.
Seeing Talot finish his training, Salari jumped off the swing with a flip and approached him with a smile.
"Brother Talot," she greeted, which made Talot nod out of habit.
It sounded pleasant, as always.
"I'll take a shower and change, then we'll head to Mount Paozu to visit Aunt Gine and Kakarot."
"Mm-hmm, no rush, Brother Talot."
Walking ahead, Talot and Salari chatted.
In fact, ever since Gine settled at Mount Paozu two months ago, they hadn't visited as often as before.
Talot only visited Gine and Kakarot at Mount Paozu occasionally.
At least, since then, it has only happened once or twice a week, totaling no more than a dozen times, and the frequency has gradually decreased over time.
Talot knew Salari, on the other hand, went to see them frequently—almost every day without missing a visit.
For them, the distance wasn't far; it was just a matter of minutes.
Talot didn't go as often because he had his reasons. When he did go, it was out of a sense of responsibility and his familial bond with Gine.
Unknowingly, Talot had already returned to his room, taken a shower, and changed into a fresh, casual outfit.
After saying goodbye to Brief, his wife, and Bulma, Talot and Salari left West City and headed for Mount Paozu.
Unlike his last visit, this time Talot had something important to tell Gine.
Though it wasn't something that needed to happen immediately, it wouldn't be long.
He was planning to leave Earth and head for Planet Namek!
The timing depended on when Brief finished building the spaceship and confirmed there were no problems.
As for the reason, he'd use the Dragon Balls as an excuse.
Earth's Eternal Dragon couldn't grant their wish, but Planet Namek's Eternal Dragon just might.
...
Mount Paozu.
Talot and Salari descended from the sky.
Gine had already heard from Salari that they were coming, so she had prepared a large table full of food in advance.
Thanks to Gine, Kakarot was living a wonderful life completely surrounded by maternal love.
Even Son Gohan, the old man, was benefiting from Gine's care.
If he weren't so old, Bardock would probably crawl out of his grave!
Of course, that's just a joke.
To Son Gohan, Gine had essentially become his adopted daughter.
When Talot saw Gine, he greeted her happily.
It had been seven or eight days since Gine last saw Talot, so after looking him over, she teased him.
