Dragon Ball: Being able to revive means you're courting death? How naive!

Chapter 3 The Strongest Nirvana Enlightenment System

Traveling to the Dragon Ball world isn't without its advantages. At least I know how the story unfolds. Although I watched it when I was a child and can't remember the specific details, thinking about it carefully, Dragon Ball is definitely the book I've read most attentively and comprehensively. I only skimmed the plot of later books and TV series, laughed it off, and then forgot about them. Now that I think about it, being able to travel to the Dragon Ball world is my good fortune.

The story has only just begun; as long as we plan well, there is still hope.

First, you need to clarify your goal: to find the Dragon Balls, fulfill your wish, and return to Earth. The way to do this is to join the main character's team, become a member of the team, gain their trust, and strive to get a chance to make a wish.

As for cultivating martial arts, that depends on fate. Leaving aside whether someone is willing to teach, even if there's an opportunity, it depends on whether one can cultivate it and to what extent. Little do people know that Krillin, hailed as the strongest Earthling in martial arts, was often merely used as a sacrifice to stimulate Goku's power.

There's a limit to how powerful humans are at fighting.

Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it for now and take it one step at a time. So far, things are looking good. I've already gained the trust of Krillin, the strongest sacrifice on Earth. As long as I follow Krillin, I can follow the main character's team and should be able to find the Dragon Balls. Besides, I know how the plot is going, and by following the main character's team, I'll always find a way to improve my strength.

The first step is to escape from Dorin Temple. There is no hope here. The original thought Dorin Temple was the most powerful because he grew up in a small village and his environment limited his perspective. But with Shang Yun's perspective, he knows that the monks of Dorin Temple are not even ants. The only purpose of following them is to shout "666" from behind when the protagonist group is protecting the earth, and then be killed by the aftermath of the protagonist group's battles, and then be revived by the protagonist group with the Dragon Balls.

My fifth senior brother just asked me to cook. Given his habits, he probably only knows how to eat and doesn't know the cooking process, let alone the ingredients or the amount of ingredients needed. I just need to tell him what I don't have, and I should be able to get a chance to go out. For example, if cooking requires chopping firewood, I can tell my fifth senior brother that I don't have enough firewood and need to go down the mountain to chop some. This way, I can not only go out but also bring some equipment with me.

"Ding!"

"The system has detected that the host has awakened and accepted the current situation. The strongest Nirvana Enlightenment System is now binding."

"Ding! Binding successful!"

At that moment, an electronic mechanical voice rang in Shang Yun's mind.

"Hello, host. This is System Elf 9527. It's my pleasure to serve you."

"System wizard? A cheat system? Is this real?"

Shang Yun was already prepared to accept that he was just a mortal, but he never expected to have a cheat code. He couldn't suppress his excitement and couldn't help but put his hands together and pray to heaven, thanking God, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, the Three Pure Ones, the Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, my Lord, and God.

"System Spirit!" After finishing his prayer, Shang Yun hurriedly called out to the System Spirit.

"Host, I'm here~"

What are your functions?

"Host, this system is the strongest Nirvana Enlightenment System in all the heavens. Its main function is to allow the host to be reborn after death and to have an opportunity for enlightenment during the Nirvana. As for what you can comprehend during the enlightenment and what you will gain after the enlightenment, it depends on the host's accumulation before death and the opportunities at the time of death."

"Enlightenment? Is it just about increasing comprehension? And you only have a chance to have enlightenment after death? Moreover, the abilities you gain are uncertain, it all depends on chance, which means you might die once and get nothing at all? What a useless system."

"Huh?! Wait! After death, rebirth?! 9527, does that mean I can be reborn indefinitely?!" Shang Yun suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.

Yes, host. The system allows you to enter a state of enlightenment after death, and this enlightenment is only a fleeting moment. Afterwards, you will be resurrected on the spot, restored to your optimal condition, and given the insights gained from this enlightenment. From the outside, it appears to be nothing more than a moment.

"After dying, I can be fully revived on the spot and even stack up the buffs. This is amazing! It's like a Saiyan who is on the verge of death and recovers, and his strength increases exponentially afterward. No, it's even more amazing than a Saiyan's talent. I'm immortal!" Shang Yun exclaimed excitedly.

However, there are limitations here.

Like a Saiyan who is on the verge of death, after recovering and increasing their strength, the increase is not unlimited.

To be precise, the Saiyans' talent is not about increasing their strength, but about developing their potential.

While cultivation may seem like it's about increasing strength, it's actually about enhancing one's potential. In doing so, potential is also developed, transforming it into actual strength. The rate and upper limit of this potential's growth are determined by the cultivation method, while the speed at which potential is converted into strength depends on individual talent.

In the world of Dragon Ball, potential also has an upper limit, which is determined by racial restrictions. Depending on each person's talent and training method, the strength of people of the same race will vary, but there will always be a limit. To break through the limit depends on an individual's talent and comprehension.

Of course, there are exceptions to every race, like Broly, whose potential is almost limitless and who can become stronger with just a breath. However, because his strength increases too quickly and is not the result of his own hard work, he finds it difficult to control and is even backfired by the power, affecting his mind.

This is just like what the elders in Shang Yun's hometown used to say: eat only as much as you can handle. Otherwise, even if you are given an opportunity, you won't be able to seize it; even if you are given power, you won't be able to control it; even if you are given wealth, you won't be able to spend it. Not only will you not benefit, but you will also suffer the consequences.

Other Saiyans who recover from near-death experiences gain increased strength because their will to survive during those moments compels them to unlock their inner potential, transforming it into power. This potential is cultivated through their regular training, allowing them to fully control it. However, this accumulated potential is completely depleted. To increase strength in this way again requires a period of rigorous training. The extent of their increased strength after another near-death experience depends on how much potential they can cultivate during that time.

Just like Son Gohan, when he was on Namek, his potential was unlocked by the Namekian Grand Elder, and his strength increased dramatically. When he fought Majin Buu, his potential was unlocked again in the Supreme Kai World, and his strength increased dramatically once more. Moreover, he was able to completely control his strength each time.
