Xiaya nodded with satisfaction and said, “Next I will take you to a planet with a higher level of martial arts heritage where you would no longer be considered as a strong expert, or even as an apprentice.”
“Teacher, I wish for you to take me there… I want to experience more of the magnificent and renowned martial arts world,” Tien Shinhan eagerly requested. Tien Shinhan had always been the center of Chiaotzu, so he also followed suit.
“Of course, that won’t be a problem.”
Xiaya smiled and promised, and then, he brought them along as he used Instant Transmission and disappeared from Earth.
On the Lookout, the old Kami and Mr Popo found that two powerful auras were suddenly missing from Earth, causing them to reveal complicated expressions on their faces.
“That Tien Shinhan left the earth with Xiaya. Maybe he would become a great expert the next time he comes back,” Kami said, his old face showing a look of fascination and expectation.
“Kami, there are quite a few good seedlings among the humans of the mortal world, and the several disciples under Master Roshi are also not bad,” Mr Popo said expressionlessly.
Old Kami nodded and said, “Let’s continue to observe for a while; also, let them challenge Korin Tower first, and if possible, have those people join the Lookout.”
The training of Earth’s martial arts had to be done in an orderly manner—step by step, and the same was true for the Lookout’s training. It was a rule that one must first pass the Korin Tower’s challenge and receive approval before gaining the qualification to enter the Lookout.
Speaking of this, old Kami sighed and said, “I am already old, and Kami’s position must have a successor. I hope that some excellent seedlings can appear among these few children.”
Kami had the power to foresee the end of his lifespan, so It was because the old Kami knew that he didn’t have much time left that he began to feel anxious to train a successor.
However, the Kami’s chosen successor needed to be careful and prudent. Kami was entrusted with the mission of protecting Earth, so he needed to carefully select his successor. Because evil thoughts existed in his heart which caused a disaster three hundred years ago as a King Piccolo, when selecting a successor, he did not want to repeat the same mistakes.
“Kami…” Mr. Popo shouted. He had witnessed several Kami being replaced on the Lookout and had already experienced too much.
Another place in the Galaxy…
On Planet Metamor, mountains stretched out for thousands of miles.
In a region which was surrounded by lofty mountain ranges and forests, the towering mountain ranges were continuously undulating, and as far as the eyes could see, the boundary of the verdant and green scenery, like the great waves in a sea, could not be determined.
Xiaya brought Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu to Planet Metamor. Suddenly, a gravity seven times that of Earth was exerted on their body. Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu were caught off guard, so they collapsed to the ground under the powerful gravity. Tien Shinhan half-squatted on one knee, the muscles on his body trembling while wriggling blue veins were exposed.
“There is such a strong gravity in this place… I can’t even stand up!” Biting his teeth, Tien Shinhan propped himself up as a large amount of sweat oozed from his forehead.
However, what surprised him even more than the unusual gravity was that his teacher brought them from Earth to this planet in the blink of an eye.
‘This skill is fantastic!’ Tien Shinhan couldn’t help but feel even more reverence for his teacher.
Xiaya frowned and waved his hand, putting up a layer of protective shield that cut off the space-time of the outside world, and then, he took out two gravity bracelets and handed them to Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu.
“This place is called Planet Metamor. Its gravity is seven times that of Earth. Your movements here will be greatly restricted, so take this… it’s a gravity bracelet. You should use one month’s time to adjust to the gravity here, and after that, I will again take you out for training.”
Goku took a very short time to adapt to ten times of gravity on Kai’s Planet. This was mainly because Saiyan babies themselves could withstand ten times of gravity. However, Goku lived on Earth for a long time, which weakened this forte of his.
“Yes, Teacher,” Tien Shinhan embarrassedly answered. His teacher brought them out for training, but who would have thought that they couldn’t even adapt to its gravity.
After putting on the bracelet, their body’s gravity was adjusted to twice that of Earth’s gravity. Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu were slightly more at ease. Although their movements were still restricted, it was already much better, as they were barely able to train now.
Of course, it was impossible for it to be as comfortable as it was on Earth. As soon as they adopted a martial arts movement, it revealed a lot of shortcomings, but Tien Shinhan was a hard-working and serious martial artist; so, when he understood his own shortcomings, he began to correct them little by little.
In the following month, Tien Shinhan gradually adapted to the seven-times gravity of Planet Metamor, and his strength also advanced by leaps and bounds in just a few days, making Xiaya very surprised.
“Tien Shinhan’s hard work is obvious to all. What is lacking is just an opportunity. However, Earthlings are not a fighting race after all, and this has a great impact on their achievements.”
Xiaya silently watched Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu training, while pondering on how to upgrade their Battle Power.
On this day, Xiaya called Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu over and said, “Well, I’m surprised that you can adapt to the gravity of Planet Metamor so quickly. Next, I will take you to the martial arts hall of this planet for training.”
“Yes!” Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu eagerly responded.
Xiaya nodded and said, “Metamoran’s martial arts are essentially different from earth’s martial arts. You will learn them for the time being and absorb their essence to gradually improve your own martial arts.”
Tien Shinhan listened attentively to Xiaya’s earnest teachings. ‘Giving pointers to such students who have a thirst for learning is the easiest.’ Seeing Tien Shinhan’s serious look, Xiaya also taught happily.
“The most powerful martial artists on Planet Metamor are called the Nine Martial Immortals. Each one of them has more than 5000 Battle Power. In a while, we will be going to visit Mr. Rade, one of the Nine Martial Immortals!”
“Teacher, did you just say that the Nine Martial Immortals’ Battle Power is more than 5,000?”
Tien Shinhan stared tongue-tied. He was no longer an ignorant person. His understanding of Battle Power was also very clear. It was because of this clarity that when he heard that Xiaya was going to bring him to see a powerful expert with a Battle Power of up to 5,000, he was excited.
‘Such an expert can defeat me with just his breath!’ Tien Shinhan inwardly thought.
Xiaya smiled as he looked at him, inwardly thinking, ‘His horizons still needs to be nurtured slowly.’ If Xiaya took Tien Shinhan to Planet Hongshan in the future to see the many Saiyans whose Battle Power exceeded10,000, then who knows what kind of expression Tien Shinhan will have.
Then, under Tien Shinhan’s excited expression, Xiaya waved his arm and an invisible force dragged them into the air, and with a ‘swoosh’ sound, they flew towards Mr Rade’s martial arts hall.
Along the way, numerous sceneries swept past them, and soon, a vast city appeared in front of them. Xiaya landed outside the city wall and entered the city gate with Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu.
The city was still bustling as it was a few years ago with hotels and shopping malls on both sides of the main road, as well as many selling cold weapons.
Mr. Rade’s martial arts hall was located in a relatively remote part of the city. Soon, a magnificent and grand hall appeared in front of them. Xiaya went straight in without telling anyone to announce himself. The disciple guarding the gate was the same as before; however, the disciple had changed his stubble several times.
“All these people have a very strong Ki. If they were on Earth, all of them could be martial artists capable of establishing their own schools!”
Tien Shinhan carefully followed behind Xiaya, and he was shocked to discover that the hundreds of disciples in the martial arts hall had auras far above his.
