Dragon Ball: Being able to revive means you're courting death? How naive!

Chapter 55 Gohan's Predicament

In addition to physical, energy, and combat skills training, Kami also arranged methods to train Tien Shinhan and the others' mental fortitude. The four of them were well aware of the importance of mental fortitude in battle.

"When facing powerful Saiyans, we cannot be controlled by fear. We must hone our mental fortitude and remain calm and resolute in any situation," Tien Shinhan said.

Mr. Bobo led everyone to a quiet spot in the Temple of the Gods, surrounded by ancient runes and a mysterious aura.

"Now, we will meditate here, clearing our minds of distractions and focusing only on our inner selves and our goals."

Yamcha frowned. "Meditation? That sounds boring."

Klin sat down seriously. "Yamcha, don't underestimate meditation. It can be of great help to us."

Everyone sat down and began to meditate. At first, various thoughts swirled in their minds: fear of the Saiyans, longing for family and friends, and fatigue from training. But as time went on, they gradually learned to control their thoughts, and their hearts became calmer and more resolute.

After a meditation session, Jiaozi opened her eyes, her gaze now more profound. "I feel like my inner self has become stronger."

Tianjin Fan nodded and said, "That's right, that's the power of meditation. We must continue this kind of training until our mental will is unbreakable."

However, the path of cultivation is not always smooth. As time went by, they all encountered bottlenecks.

Klin encountered a significant obstacle in his energy control; no matter how much he practiced, he couldn't elevate his energy to a new level. He sat dejectedly in a corner of the Temple of Gods, wondering, "Is this all I can do?"

Tien Shinhan walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Krillin, every cultivator will encounter a bottleneck. Don't give up, let's think of a solution together."

Yamcha also struggled with practical combat skills, finding himself making the same mistakes with the same moves and finding it difficult to find new ways to improve. "Am I not suited for fighting?" Yamcha wondered to himself.

Tien Shinhan looked at him seriously and said, "Yamcha, don't say such discouraging things. When we encounter difficulties, we should overcome them. We can learn from each other and draw on each other's strengths."

So they began to re-examine their training methods and exchange experiences. Krillin asked Tien Shinhan for advice on the details of energy control, Tien Shinhan sought inspiration from Yamcha's practical experience, and Chiaotzu shared his insights on mental and willpower training.

With everyone's combined efforts, Krillin finally broke through the bottleneck in energy control, and his energy was greatly enhanced. Yamcha also found new combat strategies, and his moves became more flexible and varied.

As the day of the Saiyans' arrival draws ever closer, their training at Kami's Lookout has entered its final sprint.

Tien Shinhan looked at his companions, who had shown significant improvement, and felt a surge of satisfaction. "Everyone," he said, "we've put in a lot of sweat and effort this past year of training. Although we don't know exactly how strong the Saiyans are, we are no longer the same people we were a year ago."

Klin clenched his fist, his eyes resolute. "That's right, we must protect Earth and not let our home be destroyed."

Yamcha, brimming with fighting spirit, declared, "Let those Saiyans see the might of Earth warriors!"

Dumpling waved her little fists beside her, saying, "We can definitely do it!"

In these final days, they continued to strengthen their training, constantly honing their physical abilities, energy control, combat skills, and mental fortitude. They poured out their last drops of blood on the Temple of Kami, making the most thorough preparations for the impending life-or-death battle, their hearts filled with love for Earth and an unwavering determination to win, awaiting the arrival of the Saiyans.

……

On the moon, Shang Yun sat cross-legged in the air, his hands clasped together and his eyes closed, enveloped by a gas shield. The faint light three feet above his head was barely perceptible.

On the night of the recent full moon, as the bright moonlight shone upon Shang Yun, he felt his spirit, like a clear spring, slowly rise to the void three feet above his head. His heart was filled with an unprecedented peace and rationality; his emotions, under his control, were like a docile lamb, no longer running rampant. Shang Yun was filled with gratitude and solace—gratitude for the universe's revelation and solace for his own perseverance.

The deeper one cultivates the Zen Mind? The more one cultivates the Three-Foot Divine Light, the fainter the ball of light three feet above one's head becomes, until it completely merges into the void, at which point the cultivation is complete.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host! Your combat skill, Zen Mind, Three-Foot Divine Realm, has been mastered!"

"Ding!"

"Friendly reminder: Using emotions to gain power is ultimately not the right path. Before you achieve perfect cultivation, please use Zen Mind? Three-Foot God with caution, lest you lose control of your emotions, suffer backlash, and fall into the demonic path."

"Ah! It seems the risk of falling into demonic possession has increased again! I really can't just blindly pursue power."

……

Son Gohan, a kind and gentle boy with Saiyan blood, was led by Piccolo Daimaō onto a training path full of thorns and challenges.

"what?"

"I think you already know, your father is dead."

"Dad... Dad... Waaah...!" Upon hearing the news that Goku had died, Gohan was at a loss and could only wail loudly.

"Shut up! Stop crying!" Piccolo roared impatiently. "Goku's companions will collect the Dragon Balls to revive him. A year later, two even stronger Saiyans will come to Earth. I'm going to train you to become a powerful warrior so we can fight the Saiyans together."

"Huh? Me? I can't fight. I've never cultivated. My dream is to become a great scholar."

"It's okay, after we defeat the Saiyans, you can become whatever you want." Piccolo picked up Gohan and threw him towards a nearby mountain peak: "Don't underestimate yourself, now I'll show you just how terrifying your potential is!"

"Ah!" Gohan was suddenly thrown towards the mountain peak. He closed his eyes in fear and used a scream to cover up his fear. However, in an instant, the anger in Gohan's heart was ignited. He clenched his fists and emitted energy waves from his body, which shot towards the mountain peak. With a "boom", the huge mountain peak was smashed to pieces.

"Ah! This little guy's abilities are beyond my expectations!" Piccolo was shocked as he looked at the mountain that had been leveled.

"See that? This is your potential. Come on, let's start training." Piccolo walked over slowly and picked up Gohan, who had returned to normal and fallen to the ground.

"Wait...wait...I'm hungry..."

"Hmph, what a nuisance."
