Teaching Telepathy

"It's not just me who wants to thank you..." Clark's expression turned serious upon hearing this, his eyes flickering slightly as he spoke, "When I went to save Dad, I felt like I saw some figures with a similar but different aura to my own power. They wanted me to thank you. Of course, this might just be my imagination..."

"But, thankfully, you appeared. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't accept this power I possess as I do now. I'd be even more lost, and no one would have directly helped me make a choice at that critical moment..."

"You're just too nervous, you're even hallucinating!" Robet said with a laugh, shrugging his shoulders. "So, to celebrate our survival, let's go grab a big meal! I'm starving!"

"Shall we go together? To thank you for saving our entire family's lives! We'd like to treat you to a meal..." The lady from before, who had brought her two children over to thank the Kent Family, happened to overhear Robet's words and extended the invitation.

And it wasn't just that lady; the people whom the Kent Family had guided to shelter under the bridge also came over to express their gratitude.

They hadn't noticed Robet and Clark revealing their Superman abilities, but the Kent Family had helped them during the crisis, which was a great kindness to them. Naturally, they wanted to repay it...

"Treat us to a meal?" Robet's eyes lit up slightly, and he then scratched his head shyly, saying a bit embarrassed, "That might not be a good idea, right? I can eat a lot, I'm afraid I'll scare you..."

"Let's forget about treating you to a meal. We didn't think too much of it at the time; we just felt we should step up..." Jonathan, relieved that the people around them hadn't noticed anything unusual about his two sons, looked at the crowd of grateful people and laughed heartily, "Besides, my younger son here really can eat a lot, and he's quite strong. He's a certified big eater in Kansas City!"

"No matter how big the appetite, we can afford one meal. And thankfully, he's strong enough and decisive enough. If he hadn't opened that escape window, our family would have been trapped and died in the car!" Mrs. Grace said, looking at Robet and shaking her head with a smile. She said softly to the two children beside her, "McCah, Shiro, you two should learn more from this big brother!"

"Brother, your hairstyle is so cool! Why doesn't it droop down?" However, being too young, McCah and Shiro had no concept of life-or-death crises or life-saving kindness. Instead, they focused on Robet's gravity-defying hairstyle.

"McCah, Shiro, you shouldn't ask such impolite questions..." Grace gently patted the two children's heads and chided them softly. Then, she looked at Jonathan and said, "Our cars have all been swept away or destroyed anyway. We have to leave on foot, so why don't we find a place to rest properly together?"

"Yes, you saved us, and we haven't even shown any appreciation. God will punish us!"

"It's not an expensive gift, just a meal. It's the least we can do!"

As Grace finished speaking, the others around them chimed in. Jonathan smiled helplessly, ultimately not refusing their gesture, because he knew it would make them feel better...

Soon, the group, looking somewhat disheveled, walked towards the nearest city. After the disaster, they felt the beauty of life and engaged in warm conversation.

The most popular among them was naturally Jonathan. After all, compared to the taciturn Clark and the shy Robet, Jonathan was much easier to talk to...

"How did you do that earlier?" Clark walked up to Robet and asked quietly.

"You mean Solar Flare?" Robet raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "That's a method of converting internal Ki into light energy. The burst of Ki attracts people's attention, and then pure light stimulates their eyes, obscuring their vision..."

"Solar Flare?" Clark's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Robet with anticipation, "I want to learn this!"

"Huh?" Robet was stunned for a moment, then looked at Clark with a suspicious expression and asked, "This move isn't even that powerful, why do you want to learn it?"

"When you used Solar Flare, I could still see things within the light. And from the light you emitted, I felt a sense of warmth and closeness..." Clark said, his voice tinged with hesitation.

"Warmth and closeness? Solar Flare has that effect?" Robet scratched his head. Solar Flare was one of the most commonly used techniques in the Dragon Ball World, and the technique itself wasn't complicated, but Robet couldn't be sure if Clark could learn it, especially since Clark's internal energy was different from Ki.

"I don't know if you can learn it. I'll teach you when we get back!" Robet said in a low voice after a moment of thought.

"And that way of speaking directly in the mind!" Clark rubbed his hands together and looked at Robet again with anticipation.

It was evident that despite experiencing a crisis and inner turmoil and struggle, this might not be a bad thing for Clark. At least now, Clark wouldn't be wallowing in the grief and confusion over the death of his biological parents.

At this moment, Clark understood the importance of cherishing the present. His biological parents were gone, but his adoptive parents, the Kents, were still alive. He couldn't disappoint them, nor should he continue to worry them, and he must protect them well!

"This is Telepathy, a way of communicating through mental power. I don't know if you can learn it..." Robet spread his hands. Since he had decided to teach him Solar Flare, teaching him Telepathy wouldn't make much of a difference.

Robet had learned Telepathy from Master Roshi. It had to be said that Master Roshi was a martial arts master, possessing far more abilities than a typical Earth martial artist.

However, Telepathy wasn't that mystical; it was simply a form of mental power application. Besides establishing mental communication, truly reading someone's memories wasn't that easy. At most, one could read recent important memories, but hearing every single thought in someone's mind was impossible.

Therefore, Telepathy was mostly used during combat to establish mental communication, preventing enemies from overhearing their conversations. Chiaotzu, Tien Shinhan, Piccolo, and others often used it in this way. Master Roshi and Master Crane, who first displayed this ability, only used it during arguments...

Unlike Solar Flare, which required Ki, Telepathy was an extension of mental power. So, Robet directly and simply explained some of the principles to Clark.

"Is that so?" However, to Robet's surprise, as soon as he finished explaining the principles of Telepathy, Clark's voice echoed in his mind. This made Robet marvel at Clark's immense talent.

Originally, the previous chapter was set up as a small climax where Clark's and Robet's views collided. In the critical moment, Clark subconsciously obeyed Robet's words and saved Jonathan, and afterwards, he accepted Robet's viewpoint...

However, from the feedback of the few book friends, it seemed they weren't very satisfied. Could you all please comment on what parts are written incorrectly? (ó﹏ò)
