After hearing the god's words, John nodded and said, "Actually, I wanted to come to the Temple of the Gods for training before, but Master Cat wouldn't allow it, and I didn't know the location of the temple, so I didn't come."
The god nodded and said, "I understand. Master Cat told me about it. May I ask, John, why did you want to come to the Temple of the Gods for training in the first place?"
"Because I wanted to borrow the Room of Spirit and Time in the temple for training," John replied.
"The Room of Spirit and Time?!" The god was a little surprised. He didn't expect John to know about the existence of the Room of Spirit and Time.
But after thinking about it, he felt that it wasn't a big deal. After all, the existence of the Room of Spirit and Time wasn't a secret, and the temple had been around for thousands of years.
The god nodded to indicate his approval, but he continued, "There's no problem. You can go in and train, but I must make one thing clear. One year in the Room of Spirit and Time is equivalent to one day in the real world, but you can only stay for two years, which is two days in the real world."
"And you must come back. Otherwise, the door to the Room of Spirit and Time will disappear, and you will be lost in this world forever."
John nodded to show that he understood. Then he turned to Goku and said, "Goku, let's go to the Room of Spirit and Time for training. Training together will be much faster than training alone."
"Inside the Room of Spirit and Time, it's a vast white wasteland. If you're alone without anyone else, you might go crazy."
Goku nodded. He didn't know what the Room of Spirit and Time was, but he liked training with John.
So Goku nodded and said, "Sure, as long as I can train with John."
The god nodded silently. He had originally intended for John and Goku to train with him, as he had already prepared a training plan for them. But now that John had directly expressed his desire to train in the Room of Spirit and Time, the god felt that his training plan was no longer necessary.
Mr. Popo led John and Goku to the entrance of the Room of Spirit and Time, then pushed open the door and said, "Mr. John, Mr. Goku, there is enough food in the Room of Spirit and Time to meet your needs. But I must remind you one last time that you can only stay for two years. Of course, you can come out at any time during this period."
"But don't exceed the time limit. The clock inside will be set for two years, and it will ring one day in advance to remind you to come out. Don't forget."
John nodded solemnly. He didn't want to accidentally lose himself while training in the Room of Spirit and Time.
After bidding farewell to Mr. Popo, John and Goku entered the Room of Spirit and Time.
As the door closed, the entire world became quiet, leaving only the sound of John and Goku's breathing and footsteps.
Goku immediately felt the pressure of the Room of Spirit and Time. First, it was the gravity. The gravity here was ten times that of Earth, and Goku felt that he needed to use all his strength just to move around.
Then there was the air. The oxygen content in the air here was much lower than on Earth. After just a few minutes, Goku felt that his breathing was becoming labored.
Goku painfully said to John, "John, it's so hard to breathe here. I'm getting out of breath."
John immediately reassured him, "Don't panic. Calm down, take deep breaths, and exhale slowly. At the same time, circulate your inner energy to increase your oxygen utilization."
As Goku followed John's instructions and gradually adapted to the environment, he walked down the steps and looked into the distance. To his surprise, the entire world was a vast white expanse, both above and below, as far as the eye could see.
John walked to Goku's side and said, "Goku, there's only endless white here. So don't go too far from this palace, or you might get lost inside and die without food and water."
"The temperature also changes a lot. Although there's no day or night, the temperature difference can reach ninety degrees. The highest temperature can reach fifty degrees, and the lowest can reach minus forty degrees. So the environment is harsh, but that's also why we can quickly improve our strength."
"Goku, do you have the confidence to stay here for two years?!" John challenged Goku.
Goku looked at the vast white expanse outside, swallowed hard, and said with determination, "Of course I can!"
Seeing Goku's expression, John didn't laugh at him but encouraged him, "Good, Goku. Let's train hard here, and then we'll go back and surprise them."
Hearing John's words, Goku immediately ran to the open space outside and said, "John, let's start training. Where should we begin?"
Seeing Goku's excitement, John turned and walked towards the food storage area, saying, "Don't rush. We have two years. We need to learn to balance work and rest, and not just focus on training. Otherwise, we won't be able to last for two years."
"So, before formal training, let's have a good meal and then a good sleep!"
Both of them had big appetites, so John and Goku chose a hotpot and barbecue. Some of the meat was grilled, while the rest of the meat and vegetables were put into a pot for a stew.
After they finished eating, they had a good sleep. The next day, they began their formal training.
John had brought a small bag of about a hundred Senzu Beans, intending to use them all up during this training session.
Before the formal training began, John took out the Senzu Beans and said to Goku, "Goku, look at this."
Goku immediately recognized the Senzu Beans in John's hand and exclaimed in surprise, "Senzu Beans!"
"Yes, Senzu Beans. Master Cat's Senzu Beans not only relieve hunger, but they can also restore an injured body to its best condition."
"For this training, I've brought hundreds of Senzu Beans. So let's fight with all our strength and don't be afraid of getting injured. Every injury will only make us progress faster."
Hearing John's words, Goku nodded excitedly. Being able to fight without restraint was what Goku had always wanted. He shouted, "Since that's the case, I'm ready!"
Goku kicked off with all his might and attacked John at a speed three times faster than during the World Martial Arts Tournament.
