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

Chapter 301 Arhat Realm

Ma Rong tilted her head, her face full of innocence, and spread her hands, saying, "I don't know either. I just think the Klins are pretty good."

Everyone was speechless upon hearing this, their faces showing helplessness.

Oolong lay on the ground, wiggling his round body, and sighed, "No matter what, I really admire Krillin; he can actually make girls like him so much."

Poole nodded in agreement, a hint of envy in his eyes, and said, "Yes, I'm really envious. I wonder when I'll be able to have that kind of charm."

At this moment, Master Roshi stroked his chin, his eyes slightly narrowed, thinking to himself, "It seems I have no choice but to explain things properly."

Thinking of this, Master Roshi said, "Krillin, I'm your master, aren't I?"

Krillin looked at Master Roshi with a puzzled expression and asked, "What happened? Why are you so serious?"

Master Roshi continued, "So, I'm your only family, but I didn't give you permission to date this girl, did I?"

Klin's mouth dropped open in surprise: "Huh? No way?"

Bulma chimed in, "Yeah, you're being way too domineering."

Yamcha chimed in, "Yes, what's wrong with that, Master Roshi?"

Master Roshi quickly waved his hand: "Let me finish what I have to say. In other words, this little girl..."

At this moment, Ma Rong hurriedly interjected, "By the way, Master Roshi, I have a name. My name is Ma Rong. Please stop calling me 'little girl'."

"Oh, Ma Rong." Master Roshi's face flushed instantly. He coughed lightly and said, "Well... I have a condition."

Ma Rong asked curiously, "Conditions? What conditions?"

Upon hearing this, Bulma snorted coldly, "Hmph, here we go again." As she spoke, she quietly picked up the frying pan next to her.

At this moment, Master Roshi changed his serious expression, stretched his hands in front of his chest, and said, "I mean, before you start dating Krillin, can I touch Ma Rong's private parts?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than, with a "smack," Bulma's frying pan slammed heavily onto Master Roshi's head.

Master Roshi clutched his head tightly with both hands, groaning in pain, his face contorted in agony.

Bulma remained in the position of banging the pan, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, and said angrily, "What are you thinking? How could you say such hurtful things!"

Krillin chimed in, "That's right, Master, you really shouldn't have done that."

Master Roshi rubbed his head and said with a forced smile, "I was just kidding, just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Upon hearing Master Roshi's words, the tense atmosphere in the room immediately eased. Everyone was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, the sound echoing throughout the room and dispelling the unpleasant gloom from before.

……

In Goku's house, the afternoon sun gently streamed into the yard. Gohan, with an expectant look on his face, cautiously expressed his desire to go to Master Roshi's house for a party: "Mom, I want to go to Master Roshi's house and get together with everyone, is that okay?"

Without a second thought, Chi-Chi refused outright, her attitude resolute: "No, that's it. There's no reason why. If you always hang out with Goku's friends, your brain will become dull too. What you should be doing right now is studying hard and not thinking about these things."

Gohan's eyes dimmed instantly as he looked at Chi-Chi with disappointment. His lips moved slightly, but he said nothing. He slowly turned around and walked heavily towards his room. When he reached the door, he gently pushed it open and then gently closed it, as if he didn't want to make a sound.

Chi-Chi looked at the closed door, a satisfied expression on her face. She murmured to herself, "Hmm, Gohan, you're a good boy. You must study hard so you can have a bright future." As she spoke, she nodded slightly, seemingly affirming her decision.

……

Shang Yun sat cross-legged in the dimly lit room, his aura flowing around him. He could clearly feel that his dantian was like a dried-up sponge, eagerly craving to be filled. And deep within his dantian, a mysterious golden light flickered faintly.

Filled with doubt, Shang Yun softly called out, "9527."

"Host, what is it?"

"Please help me analyze this. What exactly is wrong with me right now? Why is my body so desperately craving strength?"

"Host, after experiencing death on Namek, you achieved a rebirth and enlightenment. All your previous accumulations erupted instantly. Now, you need to settle and accumulate again to build up strength for future breakthroughs."

Shang Yun stroked his chin, pondering for a moment: "So, this Nirvana rebirth is quite similar to the characteristics of Saiyans. Both involve recovery after death, a surge in strength, and then the need to accumulate power again, waiting for the next near-death experience to unleash that power."

"That's not the case," 9527's mechanical voice immediately retorted. "While Saiyans can greatly increase their strength after recovering from near death, there's an upper limit to this increase. Take Goku for example; after he broke through to Super Saiyan, the improvement brought by this Saiyan trait became negligible. But the abilities the system has given you have no upper limit. As long as you accumulate enough, and die under certain conditions, you can be reborn, achieve enlightenment, and your strength will increase dramatically."

Shang Yun took a deep breath and slowly said, "Oh, I understand. Thinking back to before my death, I clearly felt that my strength had reached a bottleneck, and every step forward was incredibly difficult. My cultivation progress was as slow as a snail's crawl. But who could have imagined that after this Nirvana enlightenment, everything would be completely different? Now, the speed at which my strength is increasing is even a little worrying to myself. It's faster than I ever imagined!"

"That's right, host. Human cultivation has its limits. When you reach your limit, if you continue to cultivate, the energy will be converted into potential. Only when your potential is also saturated and you successfully break through the human limit can you break through the bottleneck and enter a new level. Your previous rebirth has already helped you break through this shackle. Now, your cultivation path is temporarily unobstructed until you encounter the next bottleneck."

Shang Yun's eyes lit up, and he pressed on, "So what realm am I in now? And what is that wisp of golden light in my dantian?"

"The host is currently at the Arhat realm."

"Arhat Realm? What is that?"

"The Arhat realm is the limit that humans can reach in the Zen Buddhist cultivation system. It is also known as the terrestrial immortal or earth immortal realm, having transcended the Three Realms and Five Elements. Above that is the Bodhisattva realm, which requires the enlightenment of Prajna wisdom. On the basis of realizing the emptiness of all phenomena, one must further use this wisdom to observe all things in the world, and be able to understand the relationship between emptiness and worldly phenomena more comprehensively and thoroughly, so as to better guide cultivation and liberate sentient beings, and only then can one attain the Bodhisattva fruit. As for the golden light in your dantian, it is the prototype of the Golden Elixir Relic."
