Ox-Demon King was stunned.

"What, you can put it out too? Don't tell me you also know the Kamehameha?"

Sun Mo nodded seriously. "Yeah, I do. I saw Grandpa use it once!"

Ox-Demon King's face was full of disbelief.

After all, he'd trained under Master Roshi for a while and never managed to learn the Kamehameha himself.

How could a kid this young possibly pull it off?

Master Roshi asked, "You say your grandfather used the Kamehameha?

The Kamehameha is the ultimate technique of the Turtle School. How would your grandfather know it?"

Sun Mo scratched his head. "Huh? I thought I told you—Goku and I were raised by Grandpa Son Gohan."

Ox-Demon King blinked in surprise.

"Master, didn't you know? They're the two kids Senior Gohan adopted!"

Son Goku nodded. "That's right. Grandpa took us in, and we trained with him since we were little."

Master Roshi's confusion shifted to sudden realization.

"So that's it. I remember now.

A long time ago, Gohan told me he'd found two kids with tails."

He looked at Sun Mo and Goku. "So you're the ones he found!"

Son Goku and Sun Mo nodded together.

"That's right!"

Bulma looked puzzled. "Why not just say he found two boys?

Why specifically 'two kids with tails'?"

Goku said, "Because Sun Mo and I really did have tails!

But since nobody else has them, Grandpa thought people might be jealous, so he had them removed."

Master Roshi: "Silly kid, you think that was about jealousy?"

Goku: "Wasn't it?"

Sun Mo looked at Bulma, confused. "Bulma, do you think the extra thing men have compared to women is a tail?"

Bulma blinked in surprise.

"Isn't it?"

Sun Mo was speechless. "And they call you a genius. You don't even know basic biology..."

Bulma's face turned red.

"I've never seen one, how would I know?"

Master Roshi chuckled. "Alright, alright. Since you're Gohan's grandsons, it's possible you know the Kamehameha. I'll be watching."

With that, he turned to Bulma with a lecherous grin.

The message was clear: if he had to put out the fire, the same condition applied.

Bulma huffed and turned away.

Son Goku looked confused. "Sun Mo, what's this Kamehameha you're talking about? I've never heard of it."

Sun Mo grinned. "It's a killer move. Watch closely!

At your current training level, you should be able to pull it off after seeing it."

"A killer move?"

Sun Mo nodded. "Grandpa didn't teach you because you weren't strong enough back then to pull it off."

Goku nodded.

Sun Mo walked to the base of Mount Frypan and found the perfect spot.

He dropped into a forward horse stance, cupped his hands together at his waist like a flower calyx, and all his energy began gathering into his palms.

Everyone watched his back, their expressions mixed.

Bulma worried, "Can he really do it?"

Ox-Demon King laughed. "No big deal. If he can't, Master's still here!"

"That's right, Master Roshi's here too!" Chi-Chi chimed in.

Master Roshi's eyes lit up.

"Incredible—he actually did it, and his strength doesn't look half bad!"

The next moment, a blinding white light flared in Sun Mo's palm.

Sun Mo muttered an incantation under his breath.

"Ka~me~ha~me~ha!"

"Ha!"

"Shwoosh!"

A dazzling blue-white beam shot forth, hurtling straight toward Mount Frypan.

A violent gale swept through, forcing everyone to squeeze their eyes shut.

When the white light faded and the gale died down, not a single flame remained on Mount Frypan.

Ox-King's castle stood bare atop the mountain, stripped clean...

Master Roshi was stunned. "Unbelievable—at such a young age, to have this kind of power!"

Chi-Chi watched the fire extinguished and swallowed hard.

"That scared me—he really put it out!"

Wukong's eyes lit up with delight. "Sun Mo, that move is amazing!"

Sun Mo turned to Master Roshi and said respectfully, "I'm just showing off in front of Master Roshi—please forgive my clumsiness!"

Master Roshi replied, "Kid, your Kamehameha is pretty good—almost catching up to me!!"

Bulma looped her arm through Sun Mo's and deliberately shot a glance at Master Roshi.

"Of course—he's my boyfriend, after all. Too impressive!"

Master Roshi sighed. "Hey, if you already know the Kamehameha, why bother calling me over? What a waste..."

With that, he touched the bandage on his head, a look of regret on his face.

That was the scar Chi-Chi had left with a throwing knife when she tested his identity.

The fire was out, and the cheers faded.

Ox-King warmly invited Master Roshi.

"Master, since the fire's out, why not stay here with us?

The castle's wealth is enough to last a lifetime—let me take good care of you."

Master Roshi chuckled and waved his hand. "No thanks—I prefer living alone, it's more peaceful."

"What a pity!"

As they chatted, Son Goku mimicked the Kamehameha stance, aiming at Bulma's car.

"Kamehameha!"

"Boom!"

With a blast, Bulma's car twisted, crumpled, and flipped over.

Everyone turned to look.

They saw the car's wreckage and Wukong still holding his stance.

"What?"

Wukong exclaimed in surprise, "It came out!"

He stared at his hands. "Too bad it's nowhere near as strong as Sun Mo's blast!"

Chi-Chi's eyes sparkled. "Amazing, Wukong—no wonder you're my future husband!"

Master Roshi could tell Sun Mo's strength was already close to his own, and Wukong's potential was enormous.

He worried that if they grew too powerful, they might become arrogant and stray down the wrong path like Ox-King—the consequences would be dire.

He decided to teach them for a while.

So he walked up to Wukong and Sun Mo and said, "You two, interested in training at my place?

I'll teach you everything I know in martial arts—maybe one day you'll surpass me!"

Wukong's face lit up. "Really?"

"Of course!"

Master Roshi turned to Sun Mo.

Sun Mo hadn't planned to go—he'd already learned from his grandfather once.

But then he thought again. In his past life, he'd met plenty of teachers during his school days, but each one offered a different learning experience, which led to different results in each subject.

A true master really could produce outstanding students.

As for physical training and combat power numbers—falling behind for now was no big deal.

As long as he had the Gravity Chamber, he could catch up on those few points of stats in just a few days.

But truly grasping the philosophy of training—that was the foundation of the martial path.

Some people might never comprehend it in their entire lives; in short, it could be encountered but not sought.

Training alongside Master Roshi might allow him to gain new insights.

After all, training was training no matter where he did it, and it wasn't a waste of time, so he nodded.

"Then after we gather the Dragon Balls, Goku and I will come find you."

Master Roshi nodded and said, "Then it's settled!"
