Chapter 51: The Room of Spirit and Time

Hearing God's words, John Doe nodded and said, "Actually, I wanted to come to the Lookout to train, but the Cat Hermit didn't allow it, and I didn't know the location of the Lookout."

God nodded and said, "I know. The Cat Hermit told me that you wanted to come to the Lookout to train. May I ask why you wanted to train in the Room of Spirit and Time?"

"Because I want to borrow the Room of Spirit and Time for my training," John Doe replied.

"The Room of Spirit and Time?" God was a bit surprised that John Doe knew about the Room of Spirit and Time.

However, after some thought, God realized that it wasn't a secret. After all, the Lookout had existed for thousands of years.

God nodded in agreement and said, "No problem. You can train in the Room of Spirit and Time, but I must clarify something. One year in the Room of Spirit and Time is equivalent to one day in the real world. However, you can only stay for two years, which is two days in the real world."

"After that, you must come out, or the door to the Room of Spirit and Time will disappear, and you'll be lost in this world forever."

John Doe nodded seriously, indicating his understanding. He didn't want to risk getting lost in the Room of Spirit and Time.

John Doe and Goku bid farewell to Mr. Popo and entered the Room of Spirit and Time.

As the door closed, the entire world became silent, with only the sound of John Doe and Goku's breathing and footsteps.

Goku immediately felt the pressure of the Room of Spirit and Time. First, the gravity was ten times that of Earth, and Goku had to exert all his strength to move.

Then, the air in the Room of Spirit and Time had a lower oxygen content than Earth, and Goku struggled to breathe after a short while.

Goku said to John Doe with some discomfort, "John Doe, I find it hard to breathe here. I can't catch my breath."

John Doe immediately reassured him, "Don't be nervous. Calm down, take deep breaths, and exhale slowly. At the same time, circulate your inner ki to increase your oxygen utilization."

As Goku followed John Doe's instructions, he gradually adapted to the environment. He walked down the steps and looked into the distance, surprised to see an endless expanse of white in every direction.

John Doe walked up to Goku and said, "Goku, this place is just an endless white expanse. So, don't wander too far from this palace, or you might get lost. There's no food or water, and you'll die here."

"The temperature here also varies greatly. Although there's no day or night, the temperature can range from 50 degrees Celsius to minus 40 degrees Celsius. The environment is harsh, but it's also why we can quickly improve our strength."

"Goku, are you confident you can stay here for two years?" John Doe challenged Goku.

Goku looked at the white expanse and swallowed, trying to stay calm. "Of course I can!" he said.

Seeing Goku's expression, John Doe didn't mock him but encouraged him instead. "Good, Goku, let's work hard together in this place and surprise them when we come out."

Hearing John Doe's words, Goku ran into the open space and said, "John Doe, let's start training. Where should we begin?"

Seeing Goku's enthusiasm, John Doe turned towards the food storage area and said, "Don't rush. We have two years, and we need to balance training with rest. We can't just focus on training, or we won't be able to last for two years."

"So, before we begin our formal training, let's have a good meal and a good sleep!"

Both John Doe and Goku had large appetites, so they chose a mixed stew and barbecue. Some of the meat was grilled, while the rest of the meat and vegetables were cooked in a pot.

After a satisfying meal, they slept soundly. The next day, they began their formal training.

Knowing that he would be training at the Lookout, John Doe had brought a small bag containing over a hundred Senzu Beans. He intended to use them all during this training session.

Before the formal training began, John Doe took out the Senzu Beans and showed them to Goku. "Goku, do you know what these are?"

Goku immediately recognized the Senzu Beans and exclaimed, "Senzu Beans!"

"Yes, Senzu Beans," John Doe said. "The Cat Hermit's Senzu Beans not only prevent hunger for ten days but can also restore an injured body to its optimal state."

"For this training, I've brought several hundred Senzu Beans. So, let's fight with all our might without fear of injury. Every injury will only make us progress faster."

Hearing John Doe's words, Goku excitedly nodded in agreement. He was thrilled to be able to fight without restraint. "In that case, I'm ready!" he shouted.

Goku leaped forward, attacking John Doe with a force three times greater than he had shown at the World Martial Arts Tournament.
