Of course, this didn't involve a formal apprenticeship. Neither of them brought it up, as Jiang Chen's strength was too great. Kame Sennin, though eccentric, wasn't foolish. Time passed quietly. Kame Sennin truly lived up to his title as the God of Martial Arts. What had once been speculation was now confirmed: under Kame Sennin's guidance, Jiang Chen realized that the martial arts level here far surpassed that of Namek. In fact, the two weren't even on the same level. In just one month, Jiang Chen felt his control over his internal Ki reach a new level. The most direct manifestation was that his original Battle Power of 32,000 could now be compressed to 500 points. While he still had some distance to go before completely suppressing and hiding it, this was significant progress. Additionally, he learned various martial arts techniques that allowed one to perfectly, or even surpass, their limits in unleashing their power. They might not be as terrifying as the 'Kamehameha' or 'Thunder Shock Surprise', but the utilization of Ki reached astonishing levels. Jiang Chen was thrilled. Kame Sennin, on the other hand, was shocked. He never expected that Jiang Chen, in addition to his immense strength, also possessed incredible martial arts talent. Among all his disciples, Jiang Chen even surpassed Son Gohan. "Feel your body, feel your movements! Let your body guide your consciousness! Your ki is too strong! It's still not enough! Yes, that's the feeling," Kame Sennin instructed earnestly on Turtle Island. Jiang Chen listened attentively. Even though Kame Sennin's strength was far inferior to his, Jiang Chen showed him the utmost respect and seriousness. Kame Sennin reciprocated, teaching Jiang Chen with great dedication. In the blink of an eye, another two months passed. During this time, Jiang Chen's Battle Power increased from 32,000 to 35,000. While this wasn't as dramatic as the previous increase of nearly 2,000 points in a month, it was still significant. With such strength, he would be considered a top-tier elite even within the Frieza Force, second only to the Ginyu Special Squadron. However, compared to the increase in combat power, Jiang Chen's most significant achievement over these three months was his progress in martial arts. By now, he could perfectly conceal his aura and unleash 1.5 times his power. While this might not yet match Kame Sennin, it already surpassed 99% of aliens. With a Battle Power of 35,000, a 1.5x multiplier would give him explosive power exceeding 50,000. He stood a good chance of winning even against members of the Ginyu Special Squadron. His strength had truly reached the top tier of combat power in the North Area. "Aspara, I have nothing left to teach you in martial arts. I must say, you are the most talented individual I've ever met. Even my disciple Son Gohan pales in comparison," Kame Sennin sighed, feeling a mix of emotions. At that moment, he couldn't help but feel regretful. Jiang Chen's strength was simply too great. If he were just a bit weaker, Kame Sennin would have wanted to take him as a disciple. But with Jiang Chen being so powerful, it was impossible for him to become a disciple, and Kame Sennin couldn't handle it either. "Thank you for your guidance over these past few months, Muten-Rōshi," Jiang Chen said, bowing slightly in gratitude. Although it had only been three months, he understood just how much he had gained during this time. If Zuno's teachings on Namek had laid the foundation for him, then Kame Sennin's teachings had truly opened the path of martial arts. The significance of this was unimaginable. It couldn't be compared to simply increasing his Battle Power by ten or twenty thousand. "No need to thank me! I should be the one thanking you. I never imagined there could be such a powerful being in the world," Kame Sennin replied with a complex expression on his face. As the God of Martial Arts, Kame Sennin had always believed he stood at the pinnacle of the world. But he never expected someone like Jiang Chen, whose strength defied all logic, to exist. The impact this had on him was immense, rekindling his desire to continue exploring martial arts. "Regardless, I must still thank you for your teachings," Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head. Compared to Kame Sennin, his gains were undoubtedly greater. The two then discussed a few more matters. The next day, Jiang Chen bid farewell to Kame Sennin. His martial arts training was complete, and there was no need to stay any longer. He still had many things to take care of. After leaving Kame Sennin's place, Jiang Chen quickly flew toward Korin Tower. Along the way, he bought two baskets of fresh fish before continuing his journey. A little over ten minutes later, he shot straight up from the base of Korin Tower. In just a few seconds, he arrived at Korin's place. "It's you?" Korin exclaimed, startled. He hadn't forgotten the three figures that had shot into the sky a few months ago and recognized Jiang Chen instantly. "Korin, I've heard you have something special here. I'd like to make a trade with you. How about it?" Jiang Chen smiled, unfazed by Korin's recognition. He tossed out two capsules. "Poof!" Mist rose, and in the next moment, two large baskets of fresh fish appeared on Korin Tower. "Fish!" Korin's eyes lit up, and he pounced on the baskets. Moments later, he had two fish in his mouth and one in each hand. He looked at Jiang Chen and spoke with a muffled voice, "You want the Ultra Divine Water, right? But even if you've given me fish, you still have to pass my test." "Korin, you've misunderstood. I've heard you have something called Senzu Beans here. I'd like to exchange for some," Jiang Chen clarified, shaking his head. He wasn't particularly interested in the Ultra Divine Water. With the Great Elder's potential unlocking, its effects were definitely stronger than the Ultra Divine Water. Plus, considering how Son Goku inexplicably developed a heart condition in the original story, Jiang Chen couldn't help but suspect it was related to the Ultra Divine Water. The main reason he came here, bringing two baskets of fish, was for the Senzu Beans. As one of Earth's most miraculous products, Senzu Beans were practically a cheat item. Especially when paired with Saiyan traits, their effects were even more unimaginable. In the original story, to prevent Senzu Beans from being too overpowered, they were eventually sealed away under the pretext of being wasted by Yajirobe. In this reality, it was likely the same. To avoid not being able to obtain many Senzu Beans later on, Jiang Chen decided to take a large portion of them early. "Senzu Beans? They're in those jars over there. Take as much as you want, just leave me some," Korin replied, momentarily stunned, then pointed to a few jars not far away before diving back into the pile of fish. Jiang Chen smiled and walked over to the jars Korin had indicated. Soon, he found the jars containing the Senzu Beans. When he opened them, his eyes lit up. As expected of the time before the original story began, there were three large jars of Senzu Beans on Korin Tower, each containing over a thousand beans. The three jars likely held no fewer than 3,000 beans in total. 'Damn Yajirobe, he really deserved to die.' After cursing inwardly, Jiang Chen took out the capsules he had prepared earlier and stored away two of the jars, leaving half of the third jar behind. He had taken roughly 2,500 beans.
