The sky above King Kai's Planet was always clear, even though there was no true darkness there.
Krillin raised both hands toward the sky as if surrendering.
"Feel the energy of the grass and trees, feel the energy of the wind, feel the energy of the planet."
King Kai patiently instructed from the side.
"Don't forcefully seize it with your own energy. You must request it and call out to it."
Tiny specks of glowing light gathered from all directions and formed a fist-sized sphere of energy in Krillin's palm.
"Too slow."
Krillin frowned and dispersed the sphere immediately.
"Too slow?" King Kai jumped up in frustration.
"This is borrowing energy from all living things! You have to be polite! Do you think this is robbery?"
"In a real battle, who would give you several minutes to stand there with your hands raised? By the time I finished gathering energy, Earth would already have been destroyed hundreds of times."
Krillin replied calmly.
"That's because your proficiency isn't high enough!"
"No. The problem is the mechanics of the technique itself."
Krillin rubbed his chin while his Genius Intellect and Multiple Thinking abilities operated at full capacity.
The essence of the Spirit Bomb was collecting high-level life energy.
In the original approach, Goku always used it like a disposable ultimate attack.
If it hit, it was decisive. If it missed, it was useless.
And its preparation time was too long, making it easy to interrupt.
"What if I don't throw it?"
A thought flashed through Krillin's mind.
"Don't throw it? Then why raise it? As decoration?" King Kai looked confused.
"My body has no limits, so why not absorb this energy directly?"
Krillin's idea was extremely risky.
Although Spirit Bomb energy was gentle, it was still foreign energy. Forcing it into the body could easily cause energy instability or even explosion.
But Krillin possessed the Saitama Template.
His cells were extremely adaptable.
"Let's try it."
Krillin raised his hands again.
This time, he didn't request the energy politely. Instead, he activated his body's absorption instinct.
Passive Skill: Gluttony activated.
The surrounding energy immediately surged toward him like a whirlpool.
"Hey! What are you doing? Stop! You'll explode if you absorb it like that!"
King Kai panicked.
Krillin ignored him.
When the Spirit Bomb above his head grew to the size of a basketball, he suddenly clapped his hands together and pressed the energy sphere directly into his chest.
"Are you crazy?" King Kai covered his eyes.
Energy flowed violently through Krillin's body as System notifications appeared rapidly.
[Warning: High-dimensional energy detected. Assimilation in progress. Assimilation successful.
Saitama Template responding. Energy conversion rate: 10 percent.]
There was no explosion.
Instead, a sacred white light burst from Krillin's body.
His skin became smooth and radiant like polished jade.
A massive white energy halo formed behind his head.
His pupils disappeared, replaced by pure white light that carried a calm and distant presence.
The violent aura from twenty-times Kaioken vanished and was replaced by a deep sense of tranquility.
It was like a living Buddha.
Yet beneath that calm exterior was terrifying destructive power.
Krillin slowly clenched his fist.
He could clearly feel that the absorbed energy had strengthened his body and formed a layer of protective energy around him.
At the same time, his stamina and recovery speed increased dramatically because he was constantly absorbing surrounding energy.
"Internalizing Spirit Bomb energy to strengthen the body and create an unbreakable physique."
Krillin spoke calmly.
"I'll call this Serious Series: Holy Buddha Form."
He smiled slightly.
"In simple terms..."
Krillin casually waved his hand.
A white energy blast instantly sliced the top off a distant hill with a perfectly smooth cut.
"This is unbelievable. This is completely unreasonable."
Although King Kai complained, his expression was filled with shock.
Krillin had actually improved the Spirit Bomb technique.
And turned it into a transformation state.
If he mastered this completely, he could simply stand still during battle and absorb attacks while counterattacking with overwhelming power.
After adapting to the gravity on King Kai's Planet, Krillin's normal combat power had stabilized at around 6,000.
Now it began increasing rapidly.
7,000
8,000
9,000
10,000
The numbers continued rising.
But Krillin no longer cared about the exact value.
"This feeling!" Krillin looked at his glowing palm while the halo behind his head slowly rotated.
"It's not just increased power. Even the rules themselves feel different."
The System interface displayed detailed analysis.
Host: Krillin
Status: Holy Buddha Form (Spirit Bomb Energy Reinforced Physique)
Combat Power: Normal State 10,000 (limited by King Kai's Planet energy density) / Burst State unknown
Current Duration: 175 seconds remaining
Defensive Ability: Absolute Holy Domain
A dense Spirit Bomb energy layer covers the body and automatically reduces incoming hostile attacks by 80 percent before they reach the body.
Offensive Ability: Purifying Serious Punch
Each strike compresses surrounding Spirit Bomb energy and detonates it internally inside the opponent, damaging their energy pathways and disrupting their control of energy.
Technique Upgrade: Holy Light Destructo Disc
The Destructo Disc can now be controlled telepathically and infused with high-frequency Spirit Bomb particles, increasing its cutting power dramatically.
Support Ability: Omniscient Perception
Combined with Multiple Thinking, Krillin can sense hostile intent within a radius of thousands of kilometers and react before attacks are launched.
Skill Evaluation: S-plus. Converting an offensive ultimate technique into a permanent enhancement state. Only your abnormal physique can support it.
Krillin canceled the transformation.
The white light faded, and the halo disappeared.
The fatigue vanished instantly as his body recovered.
"The gravity here is too low, and the surrounding energy density isn't high enough," Krillin stretched his neck.
"If I can't gather enough energy, the duration of Holy Buddha Form is too short, and I can't combine it with Kaioken yet."
"Training here is becoming inefficient."
Only ten thousand combat power.
Although this was already far beyond the original timeline, Krillin still found the improvement slow.
"Too low?" King Kai felt deeply frustrated.
This was ten-times Earth's gravity.
"Goku," Krillin looked at Goku, who was still struggling under the gravity.
"I'm heading back to Earth first."
"So soon?" Goku looked surprised.
"But the Saiyans won't arrive for another six months."
"There's nothing left here that can challenge me."
Krillin pointed upward.
"I'm going back to ask Bulma to build a three-hundred-times gravity training room. And I should check on the two kids on Earth. Their training with Piccolo should be finished by now."
In truth, Krillin was also tired of the food here and missed his wife.
"Three hundred times..."
King Kai no longer wanted to argue. He suddenly felt like his role as a god was unnecessary.
"Then go back first, Krillin," Goku's fighting spirit burned brightly.
"I'll keep training here. I won't lose to you."
"Good. I'll wait for you on Earth," Krillin stepped behind King Kai and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Lord King Kai, help point the direction back to Earth."
"I'm a god, not a taxi!" King Kai protested.
"Next time I visit, I'll bring you the complete limited-edition Playboy collection."
"That direction!" King Kai immediately pointed the way.
Krillin smiled and placed two fingers against his forehead.
"Trunks' energy feels much stronger now. Looks like Piccolo really is good at training kids."
Krillin disappeared instantly.
King Kai looked at the empty space beside him and let out a long breath of relief.
"Finally sent that troublemaker away. Now my lawn can grow back."
He turned toward Goku and saw him staring in admiration at where Krillin had vanished before dropping down to continue training even harder.
"I'm going to get stronger too!"
King Kai nodded with satisfaction.
Good. At least one disciple was still normal.
Even if he ate a lot, at least he wasn't trying to destroy the planet.
