Cooler's Reaction

Time flew by.

The next afternoon, on the estate's rooftop.

After what happened with Bulma, things escalated quickly.

If it hadn't been her first time, Lin Chuan wouldn't have been satisfied with just once.

It also revealed how protective Bulma was of herself, never letting Yamcha succeed despite his advances.

Lin Chuan had to thank his daughter. If not for her sudden appearance, who knew when he and Bulma would have come together.

Sitting on the rooftop sofa, Lin Chuan meditated, basking in the sunlight, holding this position for a long time.

He was absorbing all the information from yesterday.

Mainly insights from fighting his daughter and understanding the power of the Supreme Kai of Time, Chronoa.

With his extraordinary talent, he had already started making progress on the beginner godly power technique he got from Porunga.

After seeing Chronoa, he gained a new understanding of godly power.

The aura of godly power was peculiar, and following this path in training, he vaguely sensed an unknown realm.

White aura surrounded him, normally terrifying, but now it was calm, not stirring a breeze.

Seemingly reaching a critical point in his training, Lin Chuan suddenly stood up.

Eyes closed, he extended a hand forward, gathering the white aura into his palm.

The aura calmed, seemingly alive, turning from gaseous to liquid.

Opening his eyes, Lin Chuan stared at the white energy in his palm.

"Is this... godly power? No, this should be life energy." Lin Chuan concluded after a moment.

Despite training for so long, he had produced life energy instead of godly power.

This puzzled Lin Chuan.

By logic, his insights and the beginner godly power technique should have resulted in godly power.

Was life energy related to godly power?

Was godly power a further evolution of life energy?

If so, what was his next step?

As Lin Chuan pondered his next move, he sensed two familiar energies rapidly approaching.

"Kakarot and Raditz? Looks like they're eager," Lin Chuan identified them immediately, knowing their purpose.

No doubt, they wanted gravity training.

Both were desperate to grow stronger.

This was a good thing.

In his view, two figures grew larger, eventually forming Goku and Raditz.

Seeing them approach, Lin Chuan smiled, retrieving the energy so they wouldn't see it.

"You're eager to get stronger, but isn't this a bit rushed?" Lin Chuan couldn't help but tease.

"Hehe, we just don't want to be left behind. Gohan told us about gravity training and Guru's potential unlock on Namek."

"Lin Chuan, let us try gravity training too. Training alone is boring."

Goku stated

 his purpose directly.

Seeing the world differently now, he understood how insignificant he was.

Even with his power restored to over 10,000, he was still a mere ant in this era.

Even his son, Gohan, could easily overpower him.

"You won't refuse, will you, Talos?" Raditz's eyes narrowed, awaiting Lin Chuan's response.

He too desired strength, enough to surpass Vegeta. Next time he met Vegeta, he would defeat him on his terms.

"Of course not. If you're ready, follow me," Lin Chuan led them to the gravity training room.

Soon, they stood before the massive circular room.

Opening the door, Lin Chuan led them inside.

"This is the gravity training room. This device controls the gravity environment, allowing you to adjust it as needed."

"The maximum is 1,000 times Earth's gravity. But you can't handle that yet."

"Start from the lowest, 10 times."

Lin Chuan explained, setting the gravity.

...

On Earth, a new round of training began.

Meanwhile, in the North Galaxy.

A super-large spaceship, even more imposing than Frieza's main ship, sailed through space.

It bore a unique insignia.

Cooler's Armored Squadron!

Yes, this massive battleship belonged to Cooler, Frieza's elder brother.

Inside, Cooler sat on his throne.

Unlike Frieza's playful demeanor, Cooler emitted a chilling aura.

More mature and powerful than his arrogant younger brother, Frieza.

Frieza limited himself to his small first form, with a measly power level of 530,000.

Even in his final form, his power level was only 120 million, and he couldn't maintain it for long.

But Cooler consistently appeared in his almost strongest form, bearing no burden on his body.

Even without his final form, his power level reached 150 million, 30 million higher than Frieza's final form.

Moreover, his full power far exceeded this. In his ultimate form, his power level was a terrifying 470 million.

Neither Frieza nor their father, King Cold, knew this.

"Lord Cooler, according to the latest information, it's confirmed that the Dragon Balls were created by Namekians."

"Your brother, Lord Frieza, is already on his way to Namek. Should we pursue?"

A blonde alien in Cooler's Armored Squadron uniform, Sauza, kneeled before Cooler, reporting.

He was Cooler's right-hand man, with a power level of 170,000.

Cooler remained unfazed by Sauza's report.

"Let my foolish brother go to Namek. It's rumored that many strong warriors are there. Collecting all the Dragon Balls won't be easy."

"Our priority is to head to Planet Yardrat. The special abilities of the Yardratians can enhance my strength."

"Understood, Lord Cooler. I'll give the order to head to Planet Yardrat at full speed." Sauza obediently headed to the control room.
