Dragon Ball: Refusal to Return to Planet Vegeta at the Start

Chapter 17 Excessive Exploitation Stifles Growth

West Capital, Brif Mansion.

Dr. Brief, who was watering the flowers in the yard, was somewhat surprised to see Rhodes return. He greeted him, "Rhodes, you're back. The gravity chamber is finished."

"I'm sorry, Doctor, something came up!"

They had agreed to conduct the gravity chamber test in two days, but because of his increased combat power and a fight with Ella, he was busy consolidating his enhanced strength and only returned today, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Dr. Brief waved his hand dismissively at Rhodes's apology, not taking it to heart. After all, although Rhodes hadn't returned, things hadn't been delayed at all: "Ella is in the gravity chamber right now, do you want to go see her?"

Is Ella in the gravity chamber?

Upon hearing Dr. Brief's words, Rod's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded calmly, following him to the location of the gravity chamber.

"You Saiyans are incredibly strong!"

Upon arriving outside the gravity chamber and seeing the thirty times gravity displayed on the screen at the entrance, Dr. Brief recalled Ella from his previous tests, and his eyes were still filled with unspeakable awe.

For ordinary Earthlings, let alone thirty times the gravity, even five times the gravity would exert immense pressure on the entire body enough to cause fainting or even endanger life.

However, five times the gravity was nothing to Ella, she felt no pressure at all, and even ten or twenty times the gravity was easy for her to handle.

However, while Dr. Brief was astonished by Ella's incredible resilience, a look of worry crossed his face as he saw the thirty times gravity displayed on the door.

"Rhodes, Ella seems to be having some psychological issues. I think you'd better pay more attention to her!"

Ok?

What does this mean?

After Dr. Brief finished speaking, Rod looked at him in confusion, only to be met with an encouraging look, followed by a retreating figure.

What's going on?

Seeing the doctor's actions, Rhodes scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

After pondering for a while without reaching any conclusion, he immediately approached the entrance to the gravity chamber and looked inside through the window.

The gravity chamber was filled with a sense of oppression. At that moment, a small figure was taking difficult steps and throwing a punch. It was none other than Ella.

However, Ella's every movement was extremely slow, much like a slow-moving koala. If you didn't know better, you might think it was an old lady doing her health exercises.

Upon seeing this, Rod immediately understood the meaning behind Dr. Brief's words.

Ella is really going all out to surpass herself!

While this competitive spirit is admirable, it's another matter if one doesn't value their own life.

Thirty times the gravity is quite a burden for Ella, whose current combat power is only around five thousand.

Realizing the problem, Rhodes quickly looked around and, after finding the control device outside the gravity chamber, immediately lowered the gravity level inside.

Fifteen minutes later, once gravity returned to normal, he immediately opened the door and went inside. He was about to scold her, but upon seeing Ella's pale face and weak breath, Rod opened his mouth but ultimately stopped himself.

"Do you still have any Senzu Beans on you?"

Seeing Ella's weak state, Rod asked her a question, but before she could answer, he took out a Senzu Bean from his pocket and handed it to her.

However, despite buying Rhodes's concern, Ella, panting heavily, seemed unconcerned about her current condition: "What's there to be afraid of? I won't die!"

As she spoke, Ella snatched the Senzu Bean from Rhodes' hand, chewed it, and after her body was fully restored, she came back to life, becoming radiant and full of excitement.

"Rhodes, fight me! I'm sure I can beat you now!"

After several days of intense training in the gravity chamber, even using up her two Senzu Beans, Ella, feeling the power within her, couldn't wait to fight Rhodes again.

"Don't rush into battle, listen to me first."

Seeing that Ella didn't seem to care at all, Rhodes hesitated for a moment, then spoke to her earnestly and seriously:

"Training in a gravity chamber requires a gradual approach, allowing you to adapt little by little, in order to achieve the best training results!"

If you directly increase the gravity to your maximum tolerance level, it will not only likely cause damage to your body, but may even limit your future growth height!

Currently, both Rhodes and Ella are still teenagers, growing and developing. Moderate, or even slightly excessive, training can quickly improve their strength, but over-exploiting them will definitely not yield good results.

Little did people know that even when the training maniac Vegeta was pushing himself to the limit, he was already an adult. Even when he was training Trunks with madness, he didn't turn the gravity up to the point where Trunks couldn't move.

Even when Goku was pushing himself to the limit on his way to Namek, his fighting power was still far superior to that of Isla now. Moreover, Goku had the Kaioken technique, which puts a tremendous strain on the body, to help him adapt in advance.

Even so, Rhodes even suspected that Goku's desperate training during this period was partly the reason why he later died of a heart attack.

Most importantly, for Wukong at that time, time was short, the task was heavy, and a super BOSS was waiting for him. In this life-or-death situation, he had no choice but to fight desperately.

In contrast, Ella's actions were merely to overcome herself and satisfy her strong sense of pride and competitive spirit, which, in Rhodes's view, was completely unnecessary!

As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, Ella, who was wiping her sweat with a towel, froze, her face instantly turning pale: "Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

Seeing Ella become tense and even fearful, Rod nodded seriously with a solemn expression.

This is not an exaggeration. It is common sense that if children do not grow up healthily, problems will inevitably arise in adulthood.

hateful!

Upon hearing Rhodes's affirmation, Ella's initial joy at her increased strength vanished instantly, leaving her in a state of utter confusion.

What an innocent guy!

Seeing Ella like this, Rhode thought to himself, then comforted her, "However, you haven't been training excessively for very long. As long as you're careful in the future, there shouldn't be any problems!"

"Is that so? That's good! That's good!"

Hearing this, Ella's expression was full of relief.

Seeing Ella's appearance, Rod smiled silently.

As a Saiyan, Ella is proud, warlike, and has a strong sense of self-respect. However, at the end of the day, she is just a child with a very simple mind, and she is completely manipulated by Rhode.

"Since you're alright, Rhodes, fight me. I'm sure I can beat you now!"

With her worries gone, Ella was filled with fighting spirit again, and she set her sights on Rhodes with full confidence, determined to release the pent-up frustration that had been building up for so long.

Faced with Ella's challenge, Rhodes did not respond immediately, but instead carefully sensed her presence.

He discovered that in terms of combat power alone, Ella, while not quite as good as him after a period of intensive training and further improvement, was still nearly equal.

"What, afraid of losing?"

Seeing Rhodes remain silent, Ella raised an eyebrow, issuing a provocation.
