Chapter 12: Mastering The Arts - Part 2
Ayaka was happy that the guidance of a strong person like Pamika was different, and she was looking forward to learning the Energy Bound. She wondered how much her strength would increase by then. Pamika knew that Ayaka was very happy and didn't interrupt her enthusiasm. After more than half a year of living together, he knew that the little girl was serious, hardworking, and adorable.
After the excitement, Ayaka happily urged Pamika to hurry up and teach her the Energy Bound because she couldn't wait to learn it. The Unseen Sight was a secret technique that belonged to the auxiliary category, an excellent addition to battle. On the other hand, the Energy Bound was a training and survival secret technique. It allowed her to survive in the universe and provided her with additional energy support. If she entered the universe to absorb the universe's energy, her strength would grow faster.
Ayaka knew that with her current power, she must have been unbeatable on Earth. Even if she looked at the whole universe, she could compare to a large number of planets. However, this was far from enough. Once you stepped out of Earth in the Dragon Ball world, the increase in power level was simply inhuman. Initially, the increase in power level was tens and hundreds, very impressive. Later, it was even more powerful, with thousands and thousands of increases. By the middle and later stages, the power level soared as if it could increase for no reason.
Ayaka was a person full of a sense of crisis. She was just getting started. What was the point of being in a hurry now? In the future, when she reached several million or even hundreds of millions of power levels, she would learn from others and squander it generously. She wanted to be a strong person with a high power level. The next step was to learn the Energy Bound.
The secret technique of Energy Bound was more complex than the Unseen Sight because it involved transforming human characteristics, allowing living beings to survive in the universe and absorb the universe's energy. This involved more complex and profound knowledge. Before learning it, Ayaka first had to engage in cosmology, astronomy, vitality, and spirituality. Luckily, she had a little foundation in spirituality and astronomy, so it was easier to learn. However, the other knowledge, especially vitality and cosmology, involved too profound things for Ayaka to learn, so she spent six or seven months learning these tedious things.
The ancestors of the Yardratians made it impossible to describe such profound things in short words. The admiration in Ayaka's heart deepened. With so many secret techniques, it was beneficial to learn just one. It was good that the Yardratians were peace-loving people, and only people with good hearts could learn many of the secret techniques they created. Otherwise, these secret techniques alone would have caused chaos throughout the universe. Ayaka thought this aspect of restraint was probably for the Dragon Ball world's protection.
After thinking, she held the information and continued to study. Time passed slowly, and finally, one day, Ayaka let out a voice full of joy, "Finally, I've got these things figured out." After nine consecutive months of study, Ayaka finally finished these materials. She was liberated and rejoiced. The next step was to train and transform her body formally.
A small body was lying flat in outer space with a faint light glowing from her body. Not far away, a big strong man coiled and trained, his attention stayed on the young girl beside him. The young girl's face was lying peacefully in the universe, with invisible energy gathered from all around entering her body. The influx of energy made her face seem a little flushed. Her flaxen, reddish hair flowed to her shoulders with two strands hanging on her chest, the tips showing a faint red color. This young girl was Ayaka. She had been coming to space for more than two months for specific practice. At first, it was a little strange, but now she had adapted to the universe and was able to survive without relying on oxygen. The universe's energy converged into her body little by little, giving Ayaka an indescribable warm and distinctly comfortable feeling.
"That's it for today," the young girl opened her eyes to end the training. She then returned to Planet Yardrat with Pamika, strolling through the streets of Planet Yardrat, carrying various ingredients in her hands. She took small, leisurely steps. It had been two years since Ayaka came to Planet Yardrat, and it was time to leave. Before she left, she wanted to thank Uncle Podiya's family for taking care of her, and today she was going to cook a sumptuous lunch.
After lunch, Ayaka told them that she would be leaving. Podiya's family was stunned for a moment but soon reacted. Although they were unfortunate to see her leave, they understood that Ayaka would have to leave someday. Seeing that Ayaka was determined to go, they told her to take care of herself. Ayaka nodded. After more than two years together, she was very attached to Podiya's family. Reluctantly, she left Podiya's family and then came to Pamika's home to say goodbye to him. Thanks to Pamika's teaching over the past year, her strength grew so fast. Pamika was equivalent to her teacher, and she had to say goodbye to him before leaving.
"Are you leaving?" Pamika said calmly, as if he already knew.
Ayaka nodded, with a few tears in her heart. "Time flies, and it's been a year. I'm leaving here to go somewhere else."
"Do not neglect your training. Your strength will not progress if you don't train," Pamika reminded very dutifully, although he knew that even if he didn't say so, this girl would still work hard on her training.
Ayaka twitched her nose as the parting sorrow came up all at once. "Thank you, Teacher Pamika." There was nothing more Ayaka could say. She then bowed deeply to Pamika and left.
Looking at Ayaka's distant back, Pamika's lips twitched, and he shook his head. "This child..."
After saying goodbye to the elders, Ayaka launched an Instant Transmission and left Planet Yardrat. During the year of living on Planet Yardrat, Ayaka had gained a great deal. Not only had she learned mysterious and powerful secret techniques, but she had also gained friends and teachers who were worthy of close reliance. Ayaka's power level had even exceeded the 4,000 mark, and she had grown taller. At the age of seven, she was already one meter tall and already looked like a little beauty.
