Thunder Shock Surprise

Truth be told, having such a monstrously talented disciple is both a blessing and a curse.

The blessing is that what he has learned finally has a successor, ensuring his school will not be swallowed by the torrents of time.

The curse, however, is that a disciple who reaches a certain level of monstrosity will truly hollow you out in a short period and leave you far behind in the dust.

Son Gohan, for his part, has always had confidence in himself. With talent combined with hard work, there is no reason for him to lose.

At the very least, he won't squander his talent like Raditz and end up fading into mediocrity, right?

"Master, just leave it to me. I believe that one day in the future, Kame Style dojos will be spread all across the globe!"

"Perhaps we might even reach the Universe one day, who knows!"

"I believe such a magnificent sight will come to pass just as you wish. But for the time being, I won't go easy on you. You had better be prepared to face my rigorous trials!"

As for the grand vision Son Gohan painted, the seasoned Master Roshi chose not to bite. He had no way of considering such a distant future.

He could only grasp the present.

"As for the ultimate techniques of our Kame Style, you should have already mastered the Kamehameha, so I won't demonstrate that."

"In the coming days, I will teach you some basic fist techniques one by one. In addition, there is a sealing technique called the Evil Containment Wave, as well as the Thunder Shock Surprise, which was derived from it."

"I didn't teach these to Goku and the others because I feared their foundations weren't solid enough, which would have been counterproductive!"

"As for you, I believe that once you learn them, you will quickly achieve a breakthrough. Then, you can absorb the essence of these moves, use them as nutrients, and climb to even greater heights!"

"Master, you're putting so much pressure on me, you know!"

Son Gohan said sheepishly, unable to help but retort.

"Pressure creates motivation. I cannot see your future clearly, but as your teacher, I hope to save you some time, even if it is only a negligible amount."

As Master Roshi tossed his Cane aside, his entire aura changed inexplicably.

In the blink of an eye, the state of his muscles returned to their peak!

"Kid, watch carefully. This is the extent of how much I can help you!"

"Observe the flow of ki within my body closely, and imprint it firmly into your memory!"

"Thunder... Shock... Surprise!"

With a sudden shout, he compressed vast amounts of ki between his hands, slowly forming bright, undulating spheres of energy.

This ki darted rapidly between his palms, then transformed into two forces clashing and rubbing against each other. Gradually, wisps of electricity began to flicker around Master Roshi's body!

"Crackle!"

A flash of electricity streaked by, and Master Roshi, who had gathered his Ki to the limit, thrust his palms forward. A gust of wind followed, and in the blink of an eye, it crossed a hundred zhang of space.

With a "boom," a rocky islet protruding from the sea surface was blasted apart.

As the blinding light faded, Master Roshi's tensed muscles slowly relaxed. Sweat poured from his bald head.

Ignoring his own heavy panting, he placed his hands on his knees and looked straight at Son Gohan, asking, "How much of the technique I just performed did you remember!"

Seeing Master Roshi's serious and earnest expression, Son Gohan muttered to himself.

"Should I say I remembered it all, or forgot it all?"

Sometimes he truly wished he had a cheat that could read other people's minds.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be here guessing!

"I remembered half of it!"

Seeing Master Roshi staring at him, Son Gohan rubbed his nose and finally gave a compromise answer.

"Hmm, not bad!"

"Back in the day, when I was studying under Master Mutaito, the first time he taught me the Kamehameha technique, I had to watch him demonstrate it a full three times before I learned it!"

Although he said "a full three times," Son Gohan could tell from his smug expression that the old man was showing off.

"Then you truly are amazing!"

Son Gohan sincerely gave him a thumbs-up.

Seeing him cooperate so well, Master Roshi blushed and waved his hand.

"You can study here by yourself for now. This move really takes it out of me. My old bones need a few days to recover after giving it my all."

The Ki required to unleash the Thunder Shock Surprise was too immense. He had to forcibly raise his spirit, energy, and mind to reach a peak state to perform it.

But each time he used it, his body felt drained. Overall, his total Ki was insufficient, so he had to deplete his body's reserves each time.

Coughing twice, he waved off Son Gohan, who was trying to help him up, and slowly walked towards the construction site where Son Goku and the others were working.

Watching Master Roshi's receding back, Son Gohan bowed slightly to express his respect.

He didn't know if Master Roshi saw it, but as he continued to walk, his posture seemed to subconsciously straighten.

Where Son Gohan's gaze couldn't reach, a satisfied smile flickered across his lips...

"Hoo..."

After seeing Master Roshi off, Son Gohan sat cross-legged on the spot and began to contemplate the flow of Ki he had just perceived from the Thunder Shock Surprise.

Now that Master Roshi had intentionally revealed the path of his Ki flow, he had basically mastered seven or eight tenths of it. The remaining difficulties were nothing more than how to resolve the stray particles generated when the two Ki masses collided.

Watching the waves rolling in from the distance, Son Gohan gradually fell into deep thought.

He did not know when it started, but his eyes had already closed.

Accompanied by the whistling sea breeze, wisps of hollow airflow gradually rose around his body, spiraling upward and lingering for a long time!

"Crackle!"

A spark of electricity flashed, and the hands Son Gohan pushed forward gradually took on a faint, brilliant yellow glow.

Just as it grew more and more inflated and was about to take shape, it suddenly extinguished!

Son Gohan was drenched in sweat, panting heavily.

"The consumption is truly astonishing! Even with my current level of cultivation, it is very difficult to summon it, even though I understand the principle."

"I must work harder to increase the intensity of my Ki!"

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate any longer. He stood up and walked directly toward the ocean before him.

"I'll start with a swim to burn off some energy first!"

It was clear that he needed to find his own rhythm now; it was no longer appropriate to disrupt the foundation-building process of Son Goku and the others.

As he plunged into the depths of the sea, pressure from all directions followed one after another.

Under his body's instinctive reaction, a thin film of Ki was passively triggered.

"Perhaps training like this will have better results!"
