Returning our focus to The Kent Family, after the potluck, people gradually dispersed. Many left their phone numbers with Jonathan, saying they absolutely had to visit them sometime, promising to treat The Kent Family well.

Jonathan accepted the numbers from these enthusiastic people, but had no real intention of contacting them. Instead, he led his family on their journey home.

This trip, despite the dangers encountered and the destruction of their pickup truck by the tornado, had achieved The Kent Family's initial goal. After experiencing a life-or-death crisis, Clark's mindset had clearly shifted, and he was no longer mired in grief.

Jonathan also refrained from saying anything about dying in front of Clark and forbidding him from saving him. He realized that when truly facing death, he would still be reluctant, still afraid...

Although Jonathan still didn't want Clark and Robet to expose their abilities, if they were prepared to face everything, perhaps it was time to let them make their own choices, especially Clark!

However, Jonathan hadn't yet figured out how to broach the subject with his two sons again.

Several days later, one evening, Clark stood on the grass, staring blankly at his hands, then glancing at the sky, his eyes flickering with hesitation.

"Robet, stop eating, I need to ask you something..." After a long while, Clark snapped out of it and called out to Robet, who was in the wilderness, having just finished training and was now eating.

When Robet taught Clark Telepathy, he never imagined that Clark could evolve this ability into a means of long-distance communication. Telepathy required sensing the other party's location to transmit one's consciousness, which was incredibly easy for Clark. He could see the target he wanted to talk to at a glance.

"What's up?" Fortunately, after Clark established a telepathic connection using Telepathy, Robet could also join the channel for communication, creating a unique independent calling system.

"It's about my training. The weather hasn't been good the past few days, so there hasn't been any sun. I haven't felt any stronger from my daily training, but today I didn't train at all, and just basking in the sun made me feel stronger again..." Clark said hesitantly, unsure of his own thoughts. "I suspect my power might come from the sun. Perhaps sunlight can make me stronger?"

"Hmm?" Robet raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, finished off the remaining food, and headed towards Clark.

"The sun? Maybe that's really it, otherwise you wouldn't have learned Solar Flare so easily..." Robet quickly stood in front of Clark, examining him and analyzing, "Could it be that your race is like plants? Able to photosynthesize?"

Yes, after returning, Robet had taught Clark Solar Flare. Robet originally thought that Clark, who had no Ki, wouldn't be able to learn Solar Flare, because the core of Solar Flare was converting Ki into light energy, and then Robet's eyes temporarily lost their sight...

After that, Robet thought that Clark's race might be naturally gifted, so he taught Clark some simple ways to condense energy waves. Then Clark's eyes shot out lasers again, startling Robet.

At the time, Robet was puzzled as to why Clark could learn Solar Flare but couldn't condense energy waves, but now Robet roughly understood.

"So, your ability itself comes from the sun. The sun makes your body incredibly strong, developing all sorts of physical abilities, while also condensing unique energy within you, which is why you can convert this energy into Solar Flare..." Robet said seriously, looking at Clark after snapping back to reality.

"Then how about this, you call my teacher and ask for a day off for me, and we'll verify it properly tomorrow?"

"..." Clark looked deeply at Robet upon hearing this, suspecting that Robet's verification was a pretense, and he just didn't want to go to school!

Clark: -_-

"I'm serious!" Robet's expression didn't change at all, and he analyzed very seriously, "Look, if I go to school, I leave before dawn and can only come back after dark, so I can't see the sun at all, right? How can I help you verify it if I can't see the sun? It's just calling Selina, how big of a deal is that!"

Robet: (..)

"Don't you know that your teacher sends me messages every day?" Clark's mouth twitched slightly, and he said helplessly, "And Lana somehow found out about this and is sending me messages every day now too..."

"Mom... cough cough, then pick one! If you really can't, then try them all, you're one of the only two Kryptonian, aren't you planning to reproduce your race?" Robet shrugged, saying indifferently.

"I'll reproduce your ghost! Why don't you go reproduce for the Saiyan?" Clark glared at Robet and retorted angrily.

"Aren't I still young? I'm only fifteen!" Robet spread his hands, saying innocently, "Besides, I haven't met any powerful female warriors, and no one is chasing after me like that..."

"Car... never mind, I can't be bothered with you, I'll ask for leave for you, but only for one day!" Clark subconsciously wanted to say something, but finally rolled his eyes helplessly, turned around, and went to call and ask for leave for Robet.

Time quickly came to the next day. As the sun rose, Clark and Robet both perked up. Clark carefully felt the changes the sunlight was causing in his body, while Robet observed Clark's Ki.

"There's a small increase in the Ki on your body, then it returns to calm! This should be the sun's power being converted into your unique energy!" Robet quickly gave his observation results.

"Every cell in my body is absorbing the sun's power to strengthen itself, allowing my body to continue to improve... hmm?" Clark wholeheartedly immersed himself in observing himself, and then he suddenly noticed something and subconsciously looked up.

And Robet's hair stood on end, the Ki on his body surged wildly, and his body tensed up subconsciously.

With a "bang," a sniper bullet hit Clark's forehead, but it didn't break through his defense. Clark's head didn't move at all, but the sniper bullet fell to the ground after being violently deformed.

"Bang!" At the same time, another sniper bullet hit Robet's forehead. Robet's head tilted back, and the sniper bullet was bounced away. A red mark could be seen on Robet's forehead, with a little bit of scarlet in the center of the red mark, but no blood flowed out.

"Although the addition of another person wasted a bullet, it can be considered a perfect solution..." Carlos was on a hillside 2,500 meters away. Before he could finish speaking to Fox, his expression suddenly changed, "WTF?!!!"
