It was time to seek out harsher environments for training, to enhance physical strength, or to attempt breaking through to a higher realm, pursuing greater power. Feeling that his base form's physical strength was continuously growing stronger after breaking through to Super Saiyan 4, and that a hundred times gravity was gradually losing its effect, Rhode couldn't help but think of the many harsh environments and celestial bodies with higher gravitational multiples existing in deep space, such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, and even black holes.
As the evolutionary feedback from the Super Saiyan 4 life level transferred to his base form, Rhode's previous ideas, which he had only considered but never implemented, could now be attempted. The stronger his base form became, the more powerful he would be when transforming into Super Saiyan 4. Now, after his world tour, returning to the Martial Arts Hall, he could strive for a higher level.
In the house where the two lived, they were currently eating. "I'm starting to get a feeling for breaking through to Super Saiyan 4!" At the dining table, Aira's expression was joyful, and her tone carried a sense of relief as she spoke to Rhode.
After such a long world tour following their wedding, Rhode's base physical fitness became increasingly strong, but Aira hadn't yet managed to break through to Super Saiyan 4. When they fought together, her body felt a bit strained. This was only because her body had been modified by the Modification Technique, giving her abundant stamina and strong recovery abilities; otherwise, this sign would have been even more obvious. However, after Rhode's continuous guidance day and night, coupled with Aira's constant understanding, comprehension, and effort, she now had great confidence in breaking through to Super Saiyan 4.
"It's alright, don't rush, just take your time." Hearing Aira's words and sensing her emotions, Rhode reached out and pinched her cheek, comforting her.
"You're getting stronger and stronger now; how can I keep standing still!" Although Rhode said that, Aira couldn't forgive herself for not progressing. She had already made up her mind that after breaking through to Super Saiyan 4, she would definitely use the time difference in the Time Chamber to catch up to Rhode as quickly as possible.
"Don't push yourself too hard, I'll protect you!" Facing the stubborn Aira, Rhode smiled and said gently.
"Hmph!" Hearing Rhode's words, Aira felt sweetness in her heart, but it only further ignited her competitive spirit.
No, that's not right! Simply chasing Rhode's footsteps, wanting to surpass him, was utterly impossible. Suddenly thinking of this, Aira immediately fell into deep thought. Suddenly, she thought of the Self-Evolution Technique she had researched and developed, a technique that seemed to have immense potential for development. What would it be like if the Self-Evolution Technique was pushed to its extreme?
Aira still remembered Rhode's surprised expression when he first saw her Super Saiyan form stacked with the Self-Evolution Technique. Thinking of this, she suddenly recalled that when they returned from the alternate world, both the Self-Evolution Technique and the Self-Modification Technique she had researched and developed, which was now the Basic Modification Technique, had greatly surprised and astonished Rhode. Since that was the case, she could follow Rhode's footsteps, but she also needed something that belonged exclusively to her. It seemed she had been somewhat lax in her research and development of the Self-Evolution Technique; it had only been enhanced tenfold so far. She needed more!
Thinking this, Aira immediately decided that from now on, in addition to her training, she needed to dedicate energy to pushing this technique to a higher level.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Aira eating and suddenly falling into deep thought, Rhode couldn't help but wave his hand in front of her eyes, asking with a smile.
"I'm thinking about how I can defeat you!" Aira, brought back to her senses by Rhode, heard his words, took a fierce bite of the meat she was holding, and full of spirit, spoke her mind.
"Heh heh, you'll be under me for the rest of your life!" Facing Aira's words, Rhode merely chuckled, his gaze appraising his wife in front of him, speaking with a double meaning.
"One day, I'll be the one on top of you!" Hearing Rhode's words, Aira immediately retorted indignantly. However, she then caught on, a smile on her face, and gave Rhode a sidelong glance: "We're eating, you're so improper!"
"Improper? What are you talking about?" Being told that by Aira, Rhode's face immediately showed confusion, and he asked earnestly, as if his previous words only had one meaning.
"Just play dumb then!" Seeing Rhode so openly lie, not admitting his impropriety, Aira pouted, not bothering to say more.
"Hehe!" To this, Rhode just chuckled, saying nothing more.
After eating their fill, Aira went to train, attempting to break through to Super Saiyan 4, while Rhode himself entered the Time Chamber, once again harvesting the research and development achievements of his clones.
This time, several months had passed in the real world, which meant hundreds of years within the Time Chamber. Under the impact of information from a hundred years of research and development, even though Rhode had become stronger, he still took quite a while to fully return to normal.
This time, the simpler techniques had succeeded and were essentially ready for use. And the four most core techniques had also improved significantly.
Firstly, the power of time and space had made considerable progress; the duration of time stop had now reached one minute. Time reversal was now possible, though only for less than a second, and as for time acceleration, a concrete method hadn't yet been formed. However, the comprehension of spatial power had made great strides. Rhode could now open three-dimensional spaces several tens of centimeters square.
The difficulty of the Ultimate Modification Technique was too high, coupled with the current shortage of knowledge and materials, so even after these years, it hadn't been achieved. As for the Forced Fusion Technique, although there was a lack of knowledge and materials, it had now been initially developed, but it was still far from the envisioned goal.
Finally, there was the Ultra Instinct Technique. After a hundred years of continuous combat by the clones, this technique had solidified the ability to read and predict into a subconscious, even instinctive, state, achieving an effect similar to Autonomous Ultra Instinct Omen. However, to fully absorb the relevant information, master this technique, and use it proficiently, more time would be needed. After all, it was the clones whose abilities were solidified into instinct. Even if the main body fully received everything from the clones, it would still require a process to achieve the same.
If he had an evenly matched, or even stronger, opponent to fight against, he would definitely master it in the shortest possible time. However, Rhode's current power was too great; ordinary people were no match for him, and those stronger than him were currently too strong for him. Thus, achieving this in a short time was unlikely.
As for the comprehension of the Super Saiyan God realm, because he had never felt divine ki and had never personally seen a Super Saiyan God, although he had comprehended many things, it was all theoretical. Putting it into practice was not easy.
After digesting the information from hundreds of years and numerous clones, Rhode felt excited, but also realized something was amiss. That was, it seemed the research and development effects of the clones were much less than his own. If it were him conducting research and development for a hundred years, the achievements should have been more substantial. Of course, this was also related to the incomplete basic knowledge and materials for research and development. However, even if the effect was slightly less, utilizing the internal and external time difference of the Time Chamber was still far better than researching and developing alone.
"It seems it's time to seek an opportunity to break through to Super Saiyan God!" Thinking this, after assigning the research and development tasks for a new batch of clones, Rhode walked out of the Time Chamber.
