3 Mental and physical training(Edited)

A time comes and goes and I was already five years old, it seemed Krillin wasn't born with those six dots on his forehead, I realized this when I looked into a mirror the nun had for some reasons I am not sure of.

I looked like a normal kid albeit without a visible nose, and just a bit shorter than normal kids, I wore a yellow monk robe on my body and little shoes made from bamboo. The male children wore the same things that I did, albeit, in different colors, the females wore big and long gowns that covered their whole bodies showing only their faces.

It was finally time for the physical training of the temple, every child could start as early as five years old.

My training in the mental department gave me quite the big boost already, I could move things on for hours, I could even lift other children while they were asleep, but they weren't really heavy since we didn't eat very much at the temple, everyone weighted at a maximum of twenty or so kilograms.

I didn't feel strained at all though, it seemed my upper limit wasn't there yet, I could also feel my ki was ready to be unlocked, right now with the help of the training techniques of the temple I could unlock and temper my ki.

The old man who took me into the temple came in front of us, we were in the temple's garden, the official training ground of the children.

He had an amiable smile on his face, he was looking a bit more wrinkled than before as five years had gone since I came to the temple, he started his instructions:

"There are two training techniques our Orin temple practices, one for body and one for mind, everyone who joined the temple will learn them before they decide if they want to continue staying or leave for better lifestyle, we do not impose any rules on those who trained in our techniques besides not killing haphazardly and doing evil."

The children listened quietly, they didn't truly know what evil was so they just waited for the training instructions.

The old man started to do some special poses like in Yoga and started to explain to us:

"This is the body training technique, its made so you can be flexible and also strong at the same time, while you do the poses your muscles start to grind against each other strengthening themselves while not increasing much in mass, this training technique is made to achieve a balanced physique."

All in all thirty poses would train all the groups of muscles each poses training more than one group.

"This is the only training you will do physically since you are still young, we can't have you train your bones yet as they are still quite frail, you can start training them once you reach eight years old after you turn eleven you can also leave the temple if you all wish so."

The children quietly continued listening some of them looked at each other when they heard about leaving, it seemed not everyone liked the living conditions here.

The old man sat cross-legged before us and started another explanation:

"As for the mental training, I will impart all of you our special chant that will strengthen your mind and wills, there's also a breathing technique, just watch me and copy."

He started to say the chant out loud and he breathed in and out in a peculiar method, this was great, with my prior mental training I could combine the simple physical training with my mental training to get double the training speed.

After he made sure everyone understood what to do, he left and called one of the older middle-aged monks to supervise us to make sure we didn't injure ourselves during the training.

I started to do the poses the old man did perfectly combined my strong soul after five whole years of training I could flawlessly remember everything I saw by only looking at it once.

As I started doing the poses while reciting the chant and breathing in and out I could feel the strengthening of my soul and muscles at the same time, my muscles hurt quite a bit as I didn't truly train my body up till now as my body was too weak and I feared that I would get some hidden damage that would impend my growth.

But the pain didn't last too long but I felt sore all over after two training rounds of the thirty poses, I could feel my muscles grow a bit and my soul was also strengthened quite a bit it seemed the mental training technique was way better than envisioning stuff, it was faster and more effective, while it also didn't put such a strain on my soul, but I could attribute that to my soul's already huge strength after five years of tempering.

After I rested a bit I continued with the poses, I could feel a heat spreading through my body, it seemed my ki was going to unlock right now, I could feel it spread through my body nourishing it, strengthening it, it seemed ki had great benefits towards the body, besides being able to fly shoot beams and do unnatural feats, it strengthened the body to a certain degree passively, if combined with conscious strengthening which was temporary as long as ki remained, you could even punch a planet into dust with your physical body alone.

As I felt the changes going through my body searing pain started to go through my forehead, immediately six dots appeared on it and they started to bleed, the middle-aged monk was surprised as he hurriedly made his way towards me, he inspected me but he didn't see anything wrong with me beside the holes on my forehead.

He took me to the resting area and cleaned my forehead off blood and then took me to the old man, the old man was surprised to see the holes on my forehead and exclaimed with a surprised tone in his voice:

"This little's one talent is pretty high being able to unlock the six dots of serenity after only one training session, he has a bright future ahead of him."

I asked him what he was talking about in a child-like oblivious voice and he started to explain to me:

"The six dots of serenity are unlocked by our Orins temple special training technique, but it takes a huge amount of time to unlock them, and only extremely talented people are known for unlocking them, there has been only one other known person that unlocked these dots and he was our founder."

I nodded my head and I was excused, the old man only knew that the dots indicated talent and not what they truly did.

But I felt they were truly quite special, I was excused for the rest of the day so I made my way towards the sleeping quarters, I could feel that the dots on my forehead weren't so simple.

So I sent some ki towards them, one dot started shining and I could feel my whole ki from my body going berserk, it was like I was twice as strong as before, I tried to activate another and my body ki went another upgrade to four times as much but the consumption increased exponentially and I had to stop.

It seemed every time one dot activated I would get double my power level so technically I could get 64X my power level, the consumption of ki was quite high, but I guess as my ki grew and I constantly trained in this special state I could make the consumption negligible or almost go away for full.

Just like how Goku trained to be able to keep his super Saiyan state on for longer periods in the hyperbolic time chamber.

Now I had a technique that could make me keep up with the Saiyans transformation well at least super Saiyan one.

Maybe I could put the Kaioken over this state and maybe the full power technique of Roshi's to reach even greater heights of power.

I wonder why Krillin couldn't use these dots to multiply his power in the anime/manga, maybe he never truly learned how? or I could do it because my soul was way stronger than his at the moment?

It was a complete mystery, but it didn't matter I could feel the ki through my whole body and I could surmise a bit of how strong I was, I couldn't sense ki externally yet but I could assess myself.

I was pretty strong for a five-year-old, I could say that my power level was almost thirty, maybe twenty-seven to twenty-eight, this was all only from my mental training over the years, I was almost half as strong as Goku was when he started his journey.

For the plans of the future tough... I didn't want to remain a midget, and the first wish they would use with the dragon balls was quite a waste, so I decided when I turn eleven, it was almost the same time when Goku would start his search for dragon balls, Goku started to train with Roshi one year later, so I would meet with Goku earlier and while they would be captured by Pilaf I would take the wish to wish that in the future I would grow at least as tall as my mother, she was of average height and I didn't want to become a giant.

The full power technique from Roshi would also increase my height somewhat so It was something as well too.

For now, I will have to continue training using the poses and chant and breathing techniques of the Orin temple.

I couldn't wait as I was practically giddy with excitement at the thought of meeting Goku, the main character of the Dragon Ball franchise, he was one of my favorite characters excluding Piccolo and Gohan.

But I still had to wait quite some time, six years, but with those six years, I could increase my power level by quite a lot, maybe even reach two hundred power level or so, by the time Raditz came maybe I would be as strong as Vegeta, let's not even take in account my multiplier technique.

Life would be good for me as Krillin, adventure and friendship were waiting for me right around the corner, even love, I could already imagine my bald head smothered between eighteen's big breasts.
