Just like that, time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, a week had unknowingly passed.
Goku's seven-day hellish training had finally come to an end.
During this week, Goku displayed his monstrous talent and indomitable will, leaving even Talot in awe.
When it came to Ki training, Goku progressed at an astonishing pace.
His combat skills, fighting style, and even the strength and resilience of his body made huge breakthroughs under the joint guidance of Raditz and Salari.
His power level, compared to a week ago, had more than doubled…reaching 800!
This was the same number Goku had during the beginning of dragon ball Z when he went all out.
Of course, the reason he improved so much in just seven days was largely thanks to Talot constantly helping him recover.
A Saiyan's trait is that whenever they experience tremendous pressure, once their body is injured or overly exhausted, their strength increases drastically after recovery.
Although Goku was still weak and this trait wasn't obvious yet, going through this process several times every day inevitably caused explosive growth.
Additionally, Talot had been mixing the flesh of some Tree of Might's fruit into Goku's meals every day.
He had nearly thirty of these fruits saved up, untouched until now.
Now, they came in handy for training Goku.
But he wouldn't give him too much at once. The total amount added was no more than a few bites for an ordinary person.
Since Goku was still weak, eating too much, even if digested, would only cause a short-lived boost. Only by taking things step by step could his growth be solid and stable.
In the training area behind Mount Paozu.
"The seven days are over, and you've passed, Kakarot. With your current strength, it's about time to change your training method." Talot said.
Hearing this, Goku's eyes lit up with joy: "So, the real training begins now?!"
Not only Talot, but Raditz and Salari also nodded, answering Goku's question.
"Before that, we need to tell you some things about our Saiyan race. You were too young before, but now that you're growing up, it's time for you to know…" Talot took this opportunity to reveal the secrets.
Raditz and Salari cooperated from the side, helping Goku understand and accept everything more quickly.
In the end, Talot finally mentioned one of the methods they used to quickly grow stronger in the beginning.
"So, Brother Talot, does that mean my next stage of training will be gravity training?" Goku asked.
"That's right." Talot nodded, then, with Raditz and Salari's approval, immediately used Instant Transmission to bring everyone back to West City, inside Capsule Corporation's private estate.
"Th-this is…? Bulma's house?!" Goku froze for a long moment before reacting, shouting in shock, completely stunned.
His horizons were once again expanded. He realized that with enough strength, such incredible things were also possible.
At this very moment, Goku recalled something Talot had asked him during training: Kakarot, what kind of power do you think is truly strong?
Back then, his thoughts were simple, and he had answered straight away: The power that can defeat the enemy is the strongest power.
Now, he was slowly realizing that his understanding wasn't entirely correct.
He found himself unable to give a clear answer about what kind of power was truly strong.
"This technique is called Instant Transmission. As long as you can sense an aura, you can teleport to that place." Talot didn't say my Instant Transmission. He simply said Instant Transmission, because one day, Goku would surely learn it too.
"Instant Transmission, huh… Brother Talot, can I learn that technique too?!" Goku asked, his eyes burning with excitement.
Seeing him like this, Talot laughed and said: "If you want to learn, wait until your power level break past 100,000 before we talk. Right now, you've got a long way to go."
"100… 100,000?" Goku already had some concept of numbers by now.
During his training before, Sister Salari often pulled out her virtual glasses to monitor his power level in real time.
According to the data shown on the virtual glasses, his power level was only 800.
What Goku didn't know was that the strength he now possessed had already far surpassed his strength in the original work.
"What's wrong? Thinking about giving up already?" Salari smiled and teased him.
As soon as Goku heard this, he immediately firmed his resolve: "No way! I'll remember this! 100,000 power level… I will definitely reach it!"
Goku secretly made up his mind. No matter what, he would achieve the power level of 100,000, and then learn Instant Transmission.
"Having a fighting spirit is a good thing. It's only 100,000 power level, you'll definitely make it. Let's go. For now, we'll head to the Gravity Chamber." Raditz patted his little brother on the shoulder, signaling him to follow.
The upcoming gravity training would also be guided by all three of them together.
Before long, the four of them arrived inside a Super Gravity Chamber.
Without wasting time, they activated the Gravity Device, raising the gravity to ten times that of Earth.
The immense pressure instantly crushed down on Goku, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.
"S-so… heavy!" Goku struggled to stand up, the pressure of gravity training shocking him to his core.
"Growing up on Earth, your body doesn't remember Planet Vegeta's gravity. Ten times is simply the normal gravity of our home planet. You'd better endure it, Kakarot." Raditz smirked, then increased the gravity suppression.
From ten times gravity, it was raised to twenty times.
This was to test Kakarot's current limit.
Goku, who had barely managed to get back on his feet, was once again forced down. After struggling for a while, he actually managed to stand again, trembling but held up by sheer willpower.
This display earned Talot, Raditz, and Salari's approval.
[So heavy… my body… can't move… twenty times gravity… I can hardly… breathe anymore… this is nothing like the weighted training before…] Goku gritted his teeth, sweat pouring down his forehead.
"Since you can endure twenty times, though only barely, start training slowly from the environment of ten times gravity. But you can't take off the hundred-pound weighted clothes you're wearing." Talot instructed.
And so, Goku's second stage training officially began.
