Lagss smiled. "Master knows a lot, but he hates teaching me. So the two of us can learn different things from him and then teach each other."
"That sounds good, but is it really okay?"
"What are you afraid of? We're his only two disciples. If he doesn't teach us, who else would he teach?"
Videl nodded. "So, Lagss, what have you learned from Master?"
"Solar Flare, Kamehameha, Cloning Technique, Afterimage Fist, and Drunken Fist. What about you?"
"I've only learned Kamehameha so far. He told me to focus on cultivating. Once I get stronger, he'll teach me the rest."
"That's what Master told me at first too. After I trained for ages, he finally taught me the Cloning Technique."
"What about the others?"
"The rest were easy. I learned them in just a few days. What I really want now is Master's Instant Transmission."
"I see… then it'll probably be a long time before he teaches me more."
"Don't worry. When Master does teach you, make sure you never mention wanting to learn the Cloning Technique or Instant Transmission."
"Alright, I understand."
Heaven, Hyperbolic Time Chamber
Gohan sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the Divine Rank Fishing Rod.
"Ding! Congratulations, Master. You fished up 1,888 Battle Power!"
"Ding! Congratulations, Master. You fished up 20 Senzu Beans!"
"Ding! Congratulations, Master. You fished up 1,999 Battle Power!"
Gohan yawned. "The Hyperbolic Time Chamber really does double the fishing haul."
"Ding! Congratulations, Master. You fished up a Supreme Kai Sword!"
"A Supreme Kai Sword?"
"Yes, Master, but it is not the one that sealed Old Supreme Kai."
"Ding! Congratulations, Master. You fished up an ordinary Longevity Peach. It adds ten years of lifespan."
"A Longevity Peach? Isn't that from a cultivation world?"
"Yes, Master."
"System, can this fishing rod catch medicine that makes me five centimeters taller?"
"Unlikely, Master. But don't you have the Dragon Balls?"
"Just asking."
After half a day of fishing, Gohan packed up and left the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Half a day inside was only a few minutes outside.
Another year passed in the blink of an eye.
Goten was now three years old. He no longer needed constant supervision and played with Trunks every day.
During that year, Gohan's Battle Power rose rapidly, but he was still far from his goal of one trillion.
At that moment, Gohan was on Mount Paozu teaching Goten to cultivate.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
Goten blew out several white ghost-like figures, each shaped like himself.
This was the Chewing Gum Ghost technique.
"Count off!"
"One, two, three, four!"
"Good. Number One, your target is that large rock ahead."
"Roger!"
Ghost Number One charged forward.
Boom!
The rock shattered instantly.
"Number Two, target the pond ahead."
"Roger!"
Another explosion sent water shooting several meters into the air along with a pile of fish.
"So many fish! Big brother, we can eat fish tonight!"
Gohan chuckled dryly.
Those fish really had it rough, either caught by his fishing rod or blown up by Goten.
"Numbers Three and Four, target those wild boars ahead."
"Roger!"
Boom! Boom!
The two boars were blasted apart.
"Goten, let's not blow up the boars next time."
"Okay. Then big brother, should we take the fish home?"
"Sure."
Back home, they handed the fish to Chi-Chi.
"Goten, where did these fish come from?"
"Goten blew them up!"
"Blew them up?"
"Well, he is a Saiyan."
"That may be true, but keep an eye on him. Don't let him hurt anyone."
"I will."
At that moment, the System's voice rang out.
"Ding! System upgrade complete. Master's cultivation speed has doubled again."
"Doubled? So one single-finger push-up now gives 60 Battle Power, and under 1,000 times gravity that's 60,000?"
"Correct, Master."
"Sixty thousand per push-up. If I do ten thousand per day, that's 600 million. Twenty thousand is 1.2 billion. One month would be 36 billion."
"Exactly."
"Three months for one trillion. One year for four trillion. I'm really taking off."
"Then you must train twice as hard."
"Nine years remain before Beerus awakens. I should reach about four trillion Battle Power by then. With Super Saiyan 4's multiplier of eight thousand to twenty thousand times, my final power should reach the jing level."
After yi comes zhao, after zhao comes jing, and after jing comes gai. Each unit is ten thousand times the previous one.
Gohan mentally calculated the numbers and nodded in satisfaction.
Afternoon, Mount Paozu
Gohan arrived earlier than usual.
"Master, why are you here so early today?" Lagss asked.
"Nothing special. I just felt like training harder."
"I see."
At two o'clock, Videl also arrived.
A year had passed, and her strength had increased significantly.
Thanks to the Fruit of the Tree of Might, her Battle Power had surpassed 1,500. Although still far below Lagss, it was already impressive for a human.
"Videl, you're here," Lagss said.
"Yes."
"Master's acting strange today. He showed up at one-thirty."
"Maybe he skipped training this morning."
"Has Master taught you any powerful techniques recently?"
"No."
Gohan actually wanted to teach her more advanced techniques, but her Battle Power was still too low. She wouldn't be able to handle them yet.
Time passed quickly.
After ten more months of intense training, Gohan's Battle Power reached five hundred billion.
