Piccolo's Demonic Ki

For the next few days, the Lazuli siblings arrived at the riverbank on time to receive guidance from Roland.

Due to the limited time, Roland did not instruct them on advanced techniques, but merely introduced them to the basics of martial arts. Of course, given Roland's knowledge, even the so-called basics seemed unfathomable to many, and if they grasped them all, becoming a martial artist would not be difficult.

The Lazuli siblings are indeed Roshi. They mastered the knowledge taught by Roland in just a few days. However, due to the limited amount of "qi" in their bodies, they are currently only at the theoretical stage.

Roland looked at the two siblings and nodded to himself. If they had the same foundation as Videl, they might even be able to use the Flight Technique at this moment.

"Remember what I taught you: martial arts training depends on personal perseverance. Without a firm belief, even the most talented person will eventually become mediocre. You are lucky to have come into contact with martial arts now. If it were a few years later, it wouldn't be so easy for you to grow."

What Roland said was the general situation. Naturally, the earlier you start practicing martial arts, the better. The early teens are the right age. Too early and your body is not fully developed and you are prone to injury. Too late and you will lose your foundation. After all, not everyone is like Goku and Krillin.

The situation where people like Lazuli will become Android in the future can be considered separately.

"This is all thanks to the teacher."

Lazuli eyes sparkled, and her petite figure already possessed a captivating charm.

Roland looked at them and said calmly, "There's no need to say that. How much you achieve in the future depends on your attitude. There are many martial artists on Earth with exceptional talent, but they are destined not to become strong because of their own laziness or lack of willpower."

Speaking of this, he thought of a fat guy living in a primeval forest who, at a young age, could carry Goku up Korin Tower and was nearly as strong as Master Roshi. Unfortunately, he was lazy and gluttonous, and ultimately didn't amount to much. He hadn't been seen during the King Piccolo incident, and he wondered if the guy was dead.

In addition, there's Yamcha in the desert. He wasn't seen at the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament, and this time he probably won't even have the chance to be a supporting character.

Lazuli listened attentively to Roland's teachings, nodding repeatedly, and asked in a melodious voice, "Teacher, when will you teach us about Ki Blast?"

Roland said, "I've already explained the principle behind it. To put it simply, Ki Blast is about mobilizing your internal energy. You'll have to figure it out yourselves. One thing to remind you is that the power of Ki Blast isn't determined by its size, but by its penetrating power."

"I know, just like the ray that split the sea before, Teacher?" Lapis remembered the magnificent scene when the sea was split open.

"That's right. The larger the Ki Blast, the more severe the collapse. In fact, ray-type attacks are the most effective. Of course, if you're not afraid of energy consumption, super-large Ki Blast are the most overwhelming... Well, that's too early for you. Just have a general idea." Roland shook his head.

"Teacher, are you leaving?"

Lazuli is intelligent and kind-hearted, with two bright, watery eyes.

"I won't stay in one place for too long. You can also go out and explore. The world is vast, so don't let your surroundings limit your horizons." These are heartfelt words. Truly accomplished martial artists don't stick to old rules; they constantly broaden their horizons through travel, thereby improving themselves.

"Is this what it means to broaden one's experience?"

"Yes."

Lazuli looked reluctant to part, "Teacher, we still don't know your name!"

"Roland, that's my name."

After Roland finished speaking, he waved to the Lazuli siblings with a flourish, and then disappeared in a blur before their astonished eyes.

"Disappeared!"

"This is an afterimage, a picture left behind by high-speed movement."

"Teacher Roland..." The Lazuli siblings' eyes lit up, and they repeated the name. They had never heard of this name on TV before. He was a true reclusive master. With his strength, he was definitely no less than Goku.

Lazuli held Roland high esteem and was overjoyed to learn her name.

"Sister, let's go traveling together and visit some famous teachers."

"Yes, I'll definitely give Teacher Roland a big surprise next time we meet."

Roland didn't know what impact his intervention would have on the Lazuli siblings, or whether they would still become Android, but that was no longer his concern. His whim might create another possibility: they might become powerful martial artists, creating their own legends; they might be swept away by the tide and become ordinary people; or they might be captured by Dr. Gero, just like in the original story, and after experiencing initial suffering, gain immense power.

It's hard to judge whether it's good or bad; let the siblings experience it for themselves!

Next, Roland will have to cultivate himself. Just as he told the Lazuli siblings, cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. Although he won't completely collapse because of a moment of slackness, his strength will definitely be affected once he relaxes.

If you don't want to become someone like "Gohan," you must always stay diligent.

For Roland, daily cultivation had become an integral part of his life, and stopping cultivation felt like something was missing.

Because Tights was still busy with book signings in various cities, Roland wouldn't be returning to Planet Sadala for the time being, so he sat quietly in his villa and quickly entered a meditative state.

Sitting quietly is a way to cultivate one's mental well-being.

A clear and penetrating mental energy allows for a better perception of changes in the surrounding environment and the flow of air. For martial artists who cultivate their aura, meditation is a crucial method of cultivation, and the foundation of Kami's Lookout training revolves around it. Of course, meditation also has another benefit for Roland: it allows him to hone the violent energy he generates during his Super Saiyan transformation.

His Super Saiyan transformation is the Golden-Eyed Super Saiyan, which incorporates some of the power of the Great Ape Transformation, making its energy attributes even more ferocious than those of a regular Super Saiyan.

In the original story, when Broly transformed into Super Saiyan based on his Golden Eyes, both of his pupils completely disappeared, and he lost his mind—this was because the Great Ape power was too violent, completely suppressing his rational side. When Roland a child, he would also lose his mind when Great Ape Transformation, but he gradually controlled it through training, so he pays special attention to this aspect.

To avoid a situation like Broly's, he never dared to take spiritual cultivation lightly.

Time passed slowly, and before you knew it, another night had gone by.

After a day of training, Roland opened his eyes. A faint golden light flickered in his dark eyes. The power of the Golden-Eyed Super Saiyan lay dormant in every cell of his body, forming two distinct energy flows with the Shenron power within him.

"Daily practice will also yield considerable results."

A smile appeared on his lips. Just then, a strange aura rose from another part of the earth. The energy was not strong, only about 300 combat power. However, Roland's perception was extremely sharp, and he instantly captured the energy.

"The aura of the Demon Clan race is somewhat different from the demonic energy on Lulu."

After a quick assessment, Roland knew who the source of this energy was. Who else on Earth could possess such intense demonic energy besides Piccolo?

"Located in the southwest, more than a thousand kilometers away from the West City Capital."
