"Even though these were just ordinary ingredients, they became unbelievably delicious after being roasted with Ki. If you don't have anything to do in the future, you could actually open a barbecue restaurant. It would help ease the financial pressure on the family..." Clark said softly as Robet entered the final stages.
"Jonathan has already suggested either taking out a loan to buy a new farm or having you enter an eating contest to see if you can win a prize."
Even though Clark was already far from home when Jonathan and Martha were talking, his hearing allowed him to make out their entire conversation. As for Jonathan's two suggestions, Clark had no intention of objecting.
After all, to Clark, as long as the two farms weren't separated by half the world, taking care of one more farm was just a matter of convenience.
As for the eating contest, after witnessing Robet's appetite, Clark didn't think anyone could be Robet's opponent. Ordinary Earthlings aside, even ordinary aliens wouldn't stand a chance!
"Burp!" Robet swallowed the last piece of grilled meat and let out a satisfied belch. His eyes lit up as he looked at Clark. "An eating contest?! Is it a competition to see who can eat the most?"
Robet: (☆▽☆)
"Looks like you don't dislike the idea..." Seeing Robet's excited expression, the corner of Clark's mouth twitched slightly. He then smiled helplessly. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Robet liked eating more or fighting more.
Clark didn't know that Robet had originally preferred fighting by far. To Robet, food had merely been something that was nice to have but wasn't necessary.
However, Robet now possessed Saiyan blood. It had not only made his tendency toward battle more pronounced, but had also turned food, which had never been particularly important to him, into one of his greatest loves.
Because Robet's genes told him that he could never go hungry again.
"How could I dislike something delicious? Besides, stuffing myself outside would not only satisfy my stomach, but also give the family an additional source of income. Why wouldn't I do it?" Robet wiped his mouth with a smile and said expectantly, "To be honest, I can't wait to enter that eating contest!"
"It should be this weekend. We'll know once we go back and talk to Jonathan and the others." Clark recalled the details, then looked at Robet expectantly. "What exactly is that Ki of yours? Can you teach me?"
"Of course!" Robet also looked at Clark with anticipation. To be honest, even before cultivating Ki, Clark's body had already been this powerful. Robet couldn't imagine how much stronger he would become after truly cultivating Ki.
The fastest and most drastic increase in strength Robet had ever witnessed had been Broly, that cheat who had mastered Great Ape Power in human form. He had gone from being far weaker than the Z Fighters to fighting Super Saiyan Blue Gogeta in a single bound—and had reached that level in just one battle!
That was Gogeta, after all. Not just any Gogeta, either, but Super Saiyan Blue Gogeta—the supposedly invincible Vegito and the strongest Gogeta in the entire dimension!
That battle had even shattered the dimensions of the real universe. It was clear just how absurdly powerful the two sides had been!
Robet felt that even if Clark mastered Ki, his increase wouldn't be quite that exaggerated. Still, it might rival the gap between his ordinary state and Super Saiyan.
After all, Clark's body was powerful enough. Such a powerful body meant that he could condense even more powerful Ki. Ki and physical strength had always complemented each other.
"Come on! Follow my instructions..." Thinking of this, Robet looked at Clark expectantly and explained the mysteries of Ki, trying to get Clark to invoke this power that had always coexisted with his body.
"Sizzle!" Just as Clark followed Robet's instructions step by step, his eyes suddenly began to glow red. A moment later, a red beam of Heat Vision shot uncontrollably from his eyes, just as it had when he dealt with the Kamehameha Wave earlier.
Fortunately, Robet was alert enough and reacted quickly. He dodged at the first moment and wasn't injured by the Heat Vision. Even so, Robet still looked at Clark with lingering fear. This beam of Heat Vision was even more powerful than the previous one, leaving a bottomless crack in the ground.
Robet: ┌(.Д.)┐
"Robet, are you all right?!" Clark also shut off his Heat Vision with lingering fear and asked worriedly as he looked at Robet.
"Did it work? It doesn't look like it!" Robet ignored the crack in the ground and merely examined Clark in confusion as he muttered.
To Robet, shooting beams from one's eyes was nothing unusual. Earthlings and Saiyans couldn't use such techniques, but many aliens could fire beams from their eyes to ambush their opponents.
There were even experts in this field on Earth, such as King Piccolo, Piccolo Jr., and Tien Shinhan. All of them could unleash Optic Blast, firing beams from their eyes to attack others.
However, this was the first time Robet had seen someone who could only fire beams from his eyes. After all, there were people with similar abilities who liked to ambush others by firing beams from their mouths...
These techniques didn't involve much skill. Earthlings and Saiyans simply had nothing special about their eyes or mouths. Channeling Ki into those places to release it wouldn't produce much power, and it could even interfere with their own fighting. That was why only aliens with unusual appearances generally used such techniques... Ahem, that wasn't to say that only people who looked like monsters could use this move.
"I don't know. I did as you said, and then I felt a force inside my body being released through my eyes. It didn't seem any different from when I released the laser before..." Hearing Robet's muttering, Clark said hesitantly.
"Hmm, there's a unique energy belonging to you inside your body. You haven't fully mastered it yet, but its existence also prevents you from cultivating Ki..." After carefully observing him, Robet nodded in understanding and began analyzing the situation.
"At the same time, this force manifests differently from Ki. It doesn't have as many applications as Ki, but it seems to have replaced Ki's original function and position. It's a special energy that can strengthen your body, and it can even be released through your eyes!"
"So next, we need to figure out where this energy comes from and whether it can become stronger through your training. If it can, then this energy actually isn't all that different from Ki..."
