Sitting in the lotus position under the affects of 10x gravity, Krillin had a smooth stream of cloudy silver ki flowing out of him. The regular transparent white ki was gone, replaced by a denser energy that gave off a dangerous feel.
The strength increase that refining his Ki gave him was incredibly, the only downside was that Krillin now had a powerlevel of just under 1200 after two years of training.
If he was judged solely off of his powerlevel it would appear that he grew weaker or stagnated but it was actually the exact opposite, he'd grown multiple times stronger!
Opening his eyes the stream of silver Ki dissappeared as he turned off his systems blaring alarm, his time limit was up and he had to leave before he gets stuck in the time chamber forever.
Walking forward and not hearing the sloshing in his gourd, Krillin realized it was filled up once again.
Summoning an oak barrel from his storage, Krillin opened up his gourd and poured the Paradise potion inside. After just two years inside the HTC Krillin now had around 18 cups of Paradise Potion, that was 36 years of being ageless!
After adding another drop of Paradise potion into the gourd, Krillin packed up everything he brought in the Time chamber.

Seeing the heap of skills that he had learned filled Krillin with Joy, it was proof that his work meant something and that he really was on his way to surpass the original krillin.
Krillin knew that if he was in the main plot of the anime he should have surpassed all known creatures on the planet, but that damned anomaly Dr. Gero put Krillin on edge and didn't allow the monk a moments rest.
Giving the Hyperbolic time chamber one last look, Krillin knew it would be quite some time before he re-enter. Putting back on his shoes of swiftness, Krillin exited the time chamber knowing he now he had surpassed most, if not all, beings on earth.
Walking to the front of the Castle of God, Krillin saw Popo continuing his training with Goku. By now Krillin had fully mastered suppressing his Ki so nobody was too shocked at his increase in strength, right now he suppressed himself to a powerlevel of 350, which was higher than when he entered the chamber.
Remembering the Gift pack, Krillin immediately activated his Ki sensor on Popo.
[Popo: power level is 1379]
"Ah Krillin your back, you've certainly grown stronger." Popo said sensing Krillins suppressed ki.
"Thanks to your time chamber Popo, but I think I've outgrown the Kami's lookout. I plan on traveling to to a new location to further my growth." Krillin only had one more training location left before he got all he could out of earth.
"Are you sure Krillin, there are many thin-" Krillin disappeared to Popo's eyes and a hand was now in Popo's shoulders.
"Please don't take this as me looking down on your teachings Mr. Popo, I know you have many things to teach to me, they are just not suitable to my fighting style." Krillin tried his best to soften the blow.
The Monk boy didn't have the heart to say he already surpassed Popo with just two days in the time chamber. Whether it was technique or strength, Krillin had Popo beat.
With cold sweat covering his face, Popo nodded at Krillins. Popo didnt know how the boy moved so fast that he appeared unseen to his eyes!
"Feel free to comeback any time, the lookout is always welcome to yo-" "What?! Your already leaving Krillin!" Goku cut Popo off, his sad and confused voice causing pangs of guilt in Krillin.
Krillin would be leaving Goku behind yet again,Goku didn't mind training alone with Popo but he preferred having a friend like Krillin around.
"I have to leave Goku, it's because I respect you too much!" Goku tilted his head in confusion.
"I know that I've learnt all I could here, staying would only cause me to stagnate and prevent me from growing. Just that tiny moment of stagnation would allow you to eclipse me, and I won't allow that" Krillin said with a cheeky smile.
Hearing Krillins reason, an equally cheeky smile bloomed in Goku's face as he understood Krillins reasoning. Krillin considered Goku as his rival and because of that he couldn't lay around allowing Goku to catch up to him.
"Looks like the next time I'll be seeing you, is the 22nd world tournament!" Saying this, Goku stuck his fist out.
"At that tournament, I will finally beat you." Krillin said with a smile, bumping Goku's extended fist.
With his goodbyes over with, Krillin began flying off in the last training location earth still had for him, the Forest of Terror!

Looking at the squirming and tied up twins, Lapis and Lazule, Dr Gero had a maniac smile on his face knowing he acquired the tools needed to kill Goku.
"You two are much more special than that trio of morons I picked up, but I can't just chop you up and add hapless cybernetics like I did them. I have to slowly take my time and Bioengineer you into your perfect selves, I guess I will have to add a few bits here and there, swap out your skeletons, add a few component and of course the bomb!"
Despite being called Android's, Lapis and Lazule don't actually had very little actual machinery inside of them! They were mostly Bio Weapons similar to cell, Gero had basically modified them at a cellular level to become superhuman!
"I can't use a remote to control the bombs inside you like last time, that's why I implanted my brain with a microchip that has basic Internet access. Should the either of you appear to have even the slightest bit of hostile intent towards me, Kaboom! And in the event that I die, you still go Kaboom!" Gero mined an explosion Infront of the twins face.
Gero wanted to unleash these twins in Goku immediately, but the robots haven't even finished creating the vats needed to turn the twins into Bio weapons, let alone the program needed to manipulate their genes on the cellular level!
"Those three morons can hopefully wound him for his DNA, these two will be the heavy hitters that finally put that Monkey tailed boy into the dirt! Sadly it will take some time..." Looking over at the mostly robotic emperor Pilaf, Dr Gero was annoyed with how much time he wasted on him.
He realized halfway through the modifications of the three, it probably would've been better if he just picked up random people off the streets!
Pilaf and his gang where incredibly weak but Dr Gero was far too deep into turning them into androids that it would be a waste to stop them, it was better to just finishing them and throwing them at Goku.
"You three idiots will be fighting in the 22nd world tournament, alone you wont do much but if all three if your go together...."
