As weeks turn to months, you find that the technique, while initially exhausting, becomes far more manageable over time. Perhaps due to the exhaustive nature of your total training daily, perhaps due to increased adeptness with the form, but as you keep practicing discover that, while still exhausting, you can use the form in repeated bursts more than two bakers' dozen times before exhausting yourself, or maintaining it for a solid unrelenting five minutes of continuous hyper-aggression
But your study of the explosive Juyo form isn't the only training you excel in. And while all of your training progress well, the other training you most rapidly adapt to is your time spent in solo gravity training. Within a month, the times one hundred gravity no longer exhausts you before fully completing your workout, and within three months are already adding the variable weights that were added to the chamber long ago. Finally pushing your gravity chamber to its limits, as well as your own. Day by day your body becomes stronger, faster, something that Cooler is quick to notice as well by this point, as by the end of your daily sparring sessions he is once more the one left exhausted, gasping for air
“Haaaaah, haaaah, haaaaah. Wh-What? How?” he'd asked, three months after the day he'd convinced you to stop holding back in your training every day. “How can you still stand? Aren't you exhausted?”
“Well, I am tired. It has been a long day.” you reply, noticing you're not even breathing that heavily. “But I guess I've been pushing myself so hard for so long, my body's finally adapting to this level of daily effort.”
“Adapted, he says.” Cooler sighing out as he reverts to his normal form, shrinking down and letting the gold fade from his body. “You're one hell of a monster, Karn. I'm going to have to work even harder to make sure you don't surpass me.”
“Do your best. Because I'm going to be the strongest.” you tell the emperor, who, for a split-second, looks worried. But that worry passes, the emperor chuckling to himself as he struggles to push himself back up to his feet.
“Seems that father was right about you, all those years ago. That the Super Saiyan could be the death of us all.” he says, body drooping in exhaustion. “I reckon we're all lucky you're on our side.”
And without waiting on your answer, teleports away via Instant Transmission. But once he's gone you look down at your hand, clenching and unclenching your fist. Unlike that fateful day several months ago, you're no longer completely physically exhausted after a day's training, no longer helpless should any other threats rear their ugly heads. But none have come.
