Dao midnight went back to the gravitron and put it to 25x gravity.
He then did his stretches, first with his legs going side to side. He curled it in on both sides, as he used his warm-up to get used to the gravity. He then rolled his ankles and wrist in the gravity to loosen them up, getting more flexible. He had a new rival and he had to get stronger then him. Now he was working on his hip and torso, moving around to get the kinks out before he trained. Now he was touching his toes, building up his abs in the warm-up. Now he was stretching his arms, knowing that this would help his training. He did both arms for awhile then bent over from side to side to get any cramps he would get from training out of him.
After this, he started doing jumping jacks, bringing his arms and legs out and in whilst in 30x gravity. He was doing his best as well as his duty to keep up with the gladiator saiyan he befriended. He put a high standard on the table and he had to meet it, regardless of the cost. He remembered what he told him...
We both win, Demon Knight
Those words meant something, midnight was on par with one of the second strongest saiyans on vegeta. There was no shame in having a draw come about in his match with rensou, he decided to train as hard as he could each day so he could keep up with the standard. The saiyan standard was higher then earths, only the strong survive. He knew that well, too well.
Now he was cracking his neck, shaking his body out to de de-tensify his muscles and was now ready to start his training.
He then started using the stance no-shadow to work on his ground fighting footwork, launching low ground kicks while moving forward to build up his torso and legs. The kicks were getting there, he had done this before but now in 30x gravity this was the test, how long could he keep this up? He kept at it, moving skillfully and forward on the ground. He then preformed the hurricane kick, spinning around the gravitron, using his mastery of flight to control his path so he'd be circling the room. He then stopped and looked at the wall smiling.
He then yelled. 'SHADOW WOLF FANG FIST!' and began striking the walls. He was going at a moderate pace striking the walls. It looked like wolfs were headbutting the walls as he was punching it. He then launched knees and elbows which looked like a red wolf jabbing and headbutting the wall. He kept this up for as long as he could. Knowing the saiyan king only awards the strong of heart.
He then shot back and started running around the room like a wolf on his hands and feet, moving pretty fast considering the gravity. He kept the pace up, not slowing down an inch so he'd get the most of his training. He then shot forward and flipped in the air, curling up like a ball. He then landed on his feet, throwing down jabs at fast succession. His goal was to push himself as hard as he could after mastering 20x gravity.
Now he was concentrating his energy, making 8 afterimages of himself appear in the room as he used zanzoken. His speed was improving a bit, there wasn't that much strain anymore on the technique other then the gravity so he pushed himself harder and made a total of 12 after images of himself in the gravity room. His adapting to the gravity as well as mastering zanzoken was really paying off. His skills got heighten since last time.
Dao then stopped moving fast, the after images fading until the real Dao was there by himself. He started moving pretty fast, but yet again there were taps from his feet. He was so mad. "Damn it, I'm going to have to focus on this technique of zanzoken if i want to get better," He said as he focused harder. Now there was no taps heard, he was moving really fast and barely getting tired.
He then took out a bell and put it around his neck. His goal was to move so fast the bell wouldn't ring. As he started the bell was ringing loudly. He then decided to concentrate and slow it down mentally to have more control. As he was moving the bell didn't ring as much. He kept this up, his training hard and taxing but having rewards from hard work. He controlled his body as much as he could and soon after a few minutes the bell wasn't ringing. He kept up this speed, hearing taps again on the tile as he was moving so fast and skillfully the bell didn't ring. As he stopped the taps the bell would ring ever so often. He cleared his mind so he'd be more focused and the bell stopped ringing as well as the tapping sounds on the floor going silent. Dao was happy while he was training, improving himself greatly in this gravity. He then took out his sword and started training with it, his goal was not to let the bell ring. The bell rang for awhile until Dao focused his movements, then the bell would barely ring. Trying to be perfect, dao moved faster, concentrating on his body even more while swinging his demonic sword. The bell rang ever so often until he mastered himself as he was practicing speed, body control and swordplay all at once. Then the bell never rang. He kept doing this for awhile until he felt he mastered this particular training exercise. He took off the bell and sheathed his demonic sword.
He then started jogging around the room, getting his body to endure the gravity he was in. He was going at a casual pace around the room, he could still be seen by the naked eye. His legs were getting the most training for he liked using kicks as well as punches. He kept up his pace as he finished his first lap, not sweating as much as he did before. He then jumped into the air, throwing shots then landing on the ground. He jumped and launched quick jabs and a knee then did a front-flip, landing on the ground. He kept jogging around the room, his legs building up as well as his arms as they swung while he ran. He heighten his pace, going from a jog to a run. The gravity strenghting his body as he went. He then launched shots and combos while running, his arms getting a hard workout from the exercise. He then started jumping around, giving his body a more harder workout, controlling his body while jumping and landing doing barrel rolls upon landing and getting back onto his feet to jump again. He kept this up for a few minutes until he decided to try something else.
He then formed a ball of energy with his hands at his right hip, within his palms and launched a kaimehameha at the wall. The wall didn't break and Dao kept firing the wave at the wall until an explosion was heard. The wall was undamaged and midnight was relieved.
Dao midnight then drew his demonic sword and channeled energy through it, he then started swinging his demonic sword around, concentrating his Ki manipulation skills to keep the energy in the sword as he kept up his swordplay in 25x gravity. He kept at it, chopping, hacking, slicing and slashing while holding the energy in the sword. This was taxing but as a makaioshin, he had to keep this up. He kept slashing the air with his energy inside the blade which glowed with a dark tint, he was sweating but he didn't care, he had to master this technique. He slashed at the wall with his sword normally. He then yelled, SHADOW WOLF FANG BLADE! and struck the wall hard with slashes that looked like a red furred wolf swiping the wall with his claws. He kept this up for as long as he could, building good arm and wrist strength, speed and endurance.
He then stopped attacking the wall and sheathing his demonic sword. Dao then started doing deep knee bends, dipping up and down for 10 minutes straight until his legs felt like lead. He then remembered what his teacher told him.
Transformations and power-ups aren't enough, you must train in base form to notice any considerable gain in training. The harder the conditions, the better the training will be and the more power you'll receive from your hard work
"Train harder? okay." He then cupped his hands to his right hip and thrust-ed them upwards, launching a red wave to the ceiling. It was struggling to get to the top, due to the gravity so dao put more power into it concentrating. The nether style wave was barely moving from the spot it was at, halfway to the ceiling. Dao sweats and maintains the wave for awhile, slowly the beam rose a little bit. He kept at this, for Ki manipulation training and Ki endurance training until he stopped, causing the kaimehameha wave to crash down on Dao.
Dao blocked as the wave came crashing down and smoke overtook the gravitron. As the smoke cleared, Midnight was blocking, smoke coming off him slightly. He was pissed. "Had i transformed, that wave would have hit the ceiling...fuck...i need to get stronger."
Dao then got cross legged on the ground and began to meditate. His energy was high but not high enough and he needed to strengthen himself with meditation. His energy was pulsating around him as he meditated. His Ki mastery paying off as he controlled the energy inside him. He focused and kept focusing on his Ki, not flinching but floating in the air cross legged. He kept at it, sweat pouring off his body in 25x gravity.
The strain was indeed getting to him. He had to stop or he'd pass out. Dao then stopped meditating and began to skip rope around the room, he went at a good pace and never missed the rope. He was getting tired so this would be his last training exercise at this level. He went around the room 4 times, each time was faster then the last, his body was aching and his mental couldn't block out the pain anymore so he stopped.
Dao then started moving around the gravitron slow at first with his feet, training his footwork since this was vital in a fight. He moved with haste as he went, stepping all sorts of ways around the gravitron room in the ship. He used zanzoken while doing this and 9 afterimages himself included were around the gravitron room in stance poses, the afterimages in wolf stances. He then had them circle around the room really fast and has them move in, doing attacks of martial arts when circling close. He then brought the afterimages out and had them standing again. He decided to keep trying this technique and had them all fly in to the center of the room doing 1 hitter type kung fu and street fighter moves. They then disapeared and Dao was back in the center of the ring.
He then started seeing how high he could jump and started jumping straight up into the air then rolling into a ball apon decent, landing feet first on the ground. He was only half way to the ceiling. He jumped again, this time channeling ki into his legs, not using straight Jin and got a bit higher, he was 3/4s of the way to the ceiling. He then landed on the ground and started jumping with Jin alone, building up his lower body as he was doing this. After 24 jumps. He jumped again with his Jin. He then got almost to the top and streched his arms up, touching the ceiling at last. Finnally his exercise has yeilded bragging rights.
Midnight then gathered his energy and preformed zanzoken yet again. This time there were only 5 after images in shadow wolf stance, he had them circle the room then close in. He then pulled them back and closed in again. He kept doing this exercise to strenthen his zanzoken technique. He kept closing in and comming back out while circling as the afterimages, he continued to preform this manuver, knowing that self mastery isn't lazy. He kept going in then out then in then out then in continuously, he then had the images cross each other in the center and go to other sides of the room, he kept doing this exercise, comming in and crossing with his zanzoken technique in effect. He then sweated a bit and cut out the technique, only now being one solid makaioshin and not an afterimage.
The makaioshin knight then took a skipping rope and started skipping again, this time moving moderately around the gravitron in a circular path. His legs were feeling the burn, his body sweating from the training but he had to push on, the king needed his help. Well he didn't need it but it would be appreciated. He kept his resolve and continued to skip around the gravitron, steam comming off his body as it was getting hot. Now he knew he was approaching his limts, and had to push out the energy he had inside him.
He then finished up with gathering his energy and pushing it out. It got windy and lightning was in the wind from Dao Midnight's energy and he was yelling whilst doing this. He screamed as he pushed out more energy, his muscles aching like shit while doing this. He then tired out and dropped to the floor on one knee. "That...should do it." He then took a breath, his lungs filling with vital air and oxygen for his muscles comming into his body and recharging them with the dark energy with dwelled within comming into his cells to regenerate muscle tissue through concentrating the KI into the cells to heal, his concentration has risen after he gathered himself, willing out the pain once more. He then got to his feet and flexed a bit.
"Okay," he said outloud, the gravity not straining him at all after the intense warm up session he just preformed. "I've mastered thirty times normal gravity. I should be able to fight fine in this gravity without it straining me. Lucky thing i did this, now i'll be more effective on higher gravity planets. Alright, time to see if my training's paid off. i need to fight someone in this gravity."
Dao Midnight suddenly heard a voice over the speaker. 'intruder alert, intruder alert..." The gravity stayed on and 4 figures stood in the doorway to the gravitron as Midnight turned his head to look...
He then did his stretches, first with his legs going side to side. He curled it in on both sides, as he used his warm-up to get used to the gravity. He then rolled his ankles and wrist in the gravity to loosen them up, getting more flexible. He had a new rival and he had to get stronger then him.
