It was time to prepare properly.
After Beerus finished explaining the tournament matters, he didn't stay long. Grabbing a pile of delicious food, he bid farewell to Aishi and set off on his way back to the God of Destruction's Planet...
At the original spot, Aishi stood alone.
After pondering for a moment, his figure slowly disappeared.
Kaioshin Realm!
A figure appeared out of thin air – it was Aishi.
Not far ahead, under the tree on the grasslands, a few figures were gathered together.
They were Kaioshin Shin, Kibito, the Old Kaioshin, and... Gohan!
The Old Kaioshin was unsealed by Aishi some time ago. After all, due to Aishi's involvement, Kaioshin Shin never invited Gohan to the Sacred Land as a guest, let alone to draw the sword...
The reason for releasing the Old Kaioshin was simple. His knowledge was profound, far beyond ordinary beings, and even surpassed the Gods of Destruction in certain domains, rivalling the Angels!
Whenever he didn't understand something, he could come and ask him.
Aishi remembered that Gohan had a form that was far beyond standard limits – the Beast Form!
This form could be said to be Gohan's strongest. Its aura and appearance were not inferior to Ultra Instinct (Migatte no Gokui) and might even surpass it!
Moreover, he was the only one who walked this unique path.
Aishi recalled in the original story that Gohan had neglected martial arts for quite some time.
Even so, he was able to awaken the Beast Form in a moment of rage, and its combat power rivalled Ultra Instinct Goku. This spoke volumes of its extraordinariness!
Purely in terms of its power boost, it was unimaginable.
It could turn someone who hadn't trained for years, with mediocre base strength, into a warrior that rivalled Goku, who had been training intensely for years and mastered Ultra Instinct. Just imagine what that meant!
Therefore, Aishi thought of guiding Gohan to find that feeling and evolve the Beast Form.
Of course, to evolve into Beast Form, the Ultimate Form (Mystic Form) was essential.
Gohan's Beast Form was achieved by surpassing the limits of his Ultimate Form and awakening his hidden potential to transform!
For that, he had to ask for the Old Kaioshin's help.
Similarly, he himself was interested in trying this form. A few days ago, he asked the Old Kaioshin to unlock some of his potential.
But what a shock it was!
The Old Kaioshin was exhausted to near death yet still hadn't fully unlocked his potential... which showed just how unfathomable Aishi's potential was.
The Old Kaioshin's expression of doubting life was still fresh in his memory:
"Are you some kind of monster? I can't see the end of your potential at all..."
Aishi didn't force him to continue and ended the process early.
Even this half-baked Mystic Form was overwhelming for Aishi.
Its power was at least at Super Saiyan 4 level.
Ahead, Gohan saw him and brightened up. He quickly ran over.
"Sensei! Why are you here?"
Aishi withdrew his thoughts and smiled at Gohan.
"Nothing much, I just came to see how your training is going."
At the side, the Old Kaioshin's double eyelids twitched fiercely upon seeing Aishi.
This plague god again!
He was terrified of him.
Developing his potential nearly cost him his old life...
Kaioshin Shin and Kibito hurried over as well.
They always had a good impression of Aishi. From the Majin Buu incident to releasing their ancestor, every deed was worthy of gratitude.
Kaioshin Shin ran over, smiling:
"Aishi, we meet again!"
Aishi nodded, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind. "What is it? Why the expression?"
Gohan looked serious.
"Sensei, I've roughly grasped Mystic Form. If nothing goes wrong, I should soon achieve the 'Full Power Mode'."
Aishi frowned slightly and shook his head.
"No need. Mystic Form doesn't have anything like a Full Power Mode, or rather, even if it does, it doesn't matter."
"You should treat it as your base form and look long-term."
"This is your potential, different from Super Saiyan. Think of it from another angle – it could be your normal state."
Gohan was stunned, then fell into thought.
Treat it as a base form...?
He never thought of that. He always viewed it as another level like Super Saiyan.
But now, it seemed that wasn't the case at all.
"Cough, cough..."
At this time, the Old Kaioshin walked over slowly, hands behind his back, with a trace of exhaustion on his face.
"Aishi is right. You can't view Mystic Form from a Saiyan's perspective."
He narrowed his eyes.
"It's a state."
"A state of unlocked potential."
Gohan fell silent.
At the side, Kaioshin Shin scratched his head in confusion.
"Ancestor-sama, is there any difference?"
Kibito also nodded.
Yeah, it was just a name change, wasn't it?
The Old Kaioshin glared at them angrily.
"Fools!"
"If you call it a form, then like Super Saiyan, it will always become a thing of the past."
"But if it's a state, then why can't you continue to release your potential within this state?"
"After all... for some people, potential has no limit!"
These words fell into different ears with different effects.
Kaioshin Shin and Kibito still looked confused, but Gohan seemed thoughtful.
As for Aishi, his face was full of smiles.
As expected of the Old Kaioshin. Unsealing him was worth it.
He was right.
Mystic Form should be used as an additional state!
Also, under this state, it could combine with the Saiyan trait – anger.
Through rage, in the midst of released potential... he could break through again, evolving into the Beast Form!
Aishi glanced at Gohan and spoke slowly:
"The Old Kaioshin is right, Gohan. Your potential is extremely strong, stronger than most."
"So if you can release it into a state, why can't you go beyond it again?"
"Saiyans awaken new forms through anger... so under rage, you too can once again surpass your limits!"
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Gohan thought for a moment, then took a deep breath, his face showing clarity.
"Sensei, I understand."
Excitement appeared on his face.
He knew this was a huge opportunity!
A brand new path, taught to him by Sensei.
It wasn't God Ki... or Super Saiyan.
It was a completely different path!
But...
Gohan seemed to think of something and hesitated.
"Sensei, I'm worried about one thing."
Aishi looked at him.
"Speak."
Gohan spoke solemnly.
"My path relies on consuming my potential... what if one day, I reach my limit?"
The limit of potential!
That was what he worried about.
If he reached it, wouldn't the path be cut off?
Aishi smiled and shook his head.
"You don't have to worry. I've said before, for some people, potential has no limit. That absolutely applies to you."
"..."
Gohan scratched his head awkwardly.
Sensei might be overestimating him.
If it was about potential, the one before him was truly unfathomable.
After all, he witnessed Sensei's potential unlocking that day... it almost killed the Old Kaioshin!
After pondering for a moment, Gohan nodded seriously.
"I understand, Sensei. I'll do my best!"
"Mm."
Aishi nodded with a smile.
This couldn't be rushed. It was up to Gohan.
Then he spoke again.
"There's another reason I came here today."
Gohan was puzzled.
"What is it?"
Aishi said calmly.
"The tournament between Universe 6 and Universe 7 will be held tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?!"
Gohan exclaimed.
Aishi nodded.
"Yes."
So soon?!
Gohan felt a little nervous. He wasn't ready yet.
What if the opponents were too strong?
Aishi turned to the Old Kaioshin and the others.
"Do you want to come watch? You can be special guests."
Hearing this, the three were stunned.
The Old Kaioshin thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Of course. I'd love to witness such an interesting event."
Kaioshin Shin and Kibito quickly echoed.
"We'll come too!"
The Old Kaioshin glanced at them.
"Fence-sitters."
Do what I do?
Have some backbone.
"..."
Kaioshin Shin scratched his head awkwardly, but still followed the Old Kaioshin.
Aishi smiled.
"Then I'll leave first."
"Come to Earth with Gohan later."
The three nodded.
Aishi's figure slowly disappeared from the spot.
