I'll Call Myself Wu Sheng

Although the two little ones were still very young, they learned quickly and soon got the hang of the movements.

An hour later, they began their first attempt!

"Let's begin!"

At Wang Yang's command, Wang Sheng and Gohan stood facing each other, a short distance apart.

"Fu...sion!"

As their tiny index fingers touched, a brilliant flash of light burst forth. Their figures seemed to turn into shadows and merge together.

"The light's so bright. It must have worked," Krillin exclaimed, his mouth hanging open.

"Did they do it?" Goku asked eagerly, his eyes full of curiosity as he watched.

They failed! Wang Yang covered his forehead. He had just seen the two little ones miss their marks with their index fingers.

As the light faded, just as Wang Yang had expected, a chubby boy who looked about ten years old appeared. He wore only a vest on his upper body, exposing the soft, plump flesh underneath.

The boy shifted his stance slightly, then jogged a few steps on legs thicker than Wang Yang's. Under the speechless gazes of everyone present, he crouched on the ground and panted heavily.

Huff! Huff! Huff!

"Wang Yang, are you sure he can beat that Saiyan looking like this?" Krillin asked, embarrassed, gently nudging Wang Yang's arm with his elbow.

"Ha! Ha! I'm dying! You really think this little fatty can beat me?" Seeing this, Vegeta clutched his stomach and burst out laughing.

"They failed!" Ignoring Vegeta's mockery, Wang Yang stepped forward and smacked the chubby boy on the head. Silver-white light flowed in his palm. As it struck the boy's round head, a white glow enveloped him, and Wang Sheng and Gohan appeared on the ground.

With extremely precise control, Wang Yang forcibly separated the two fused streams of ki inside the boy.

"Your fingers were off at the final step just now." Wang Yang demonstrated what they had done wrong.

"Mm-hmm!"

The two little ones nodded seriously.

"Again!"

Wang Yang called out.

"Fu...sion!"

Once again, light shot into the sky. A weak, breathless cough followed.

"Cough!"

"They failed again!" Goku stared at the child before him, who was so thin he looked like skin and bones, dumbfounded.

It was obvious at a glance that they had failed. He couldn't help wondering whether this technique was really as powerful as Wang Yang had claimed.

"Cough! Cough!"

Watching the child cough so desperately, Wang Yang feared he might suddenly stop breathing and die.

Goku stepped forward and slapped the child's gaunt head.

Smack!

"Ah!"

The frail fusion was knocked to the ground by Goku's slap, his whole body twitching.

"Cough... cough!"

Long pauses separated each cough, as if he really might not be able to catch his breath.

"Ha ha! Why didn't you split apart?" Seeing this, Goku awkwardly covered his head. He had watched Wang Yang slap the fused person and split him apart, so he'd assumed that was all it took. He hadn't held back when he struck, never expecting things to go so wrong.

Wang Yang shot Goku an exasperated look. He enveloped the fusion lying on the ground in ki and lifted him into the air in front of himself, then slapped him on the head and split him apart once more.

"Wang Yang, how did you do that?" Goku's curiosity was piqued. Wang Yang seemed so mysterious, as if he knew every secret technique and trick.

"It's simple. It's a way of using ki. When two people fuse, their strength combines, but there's a slight gap in the fusion. If you can control your ki perfectly, you can use that gap to forcibly separate the power inside the fused person. That will end the fusion," Wang Yang explained.

"I see!" Son Goku suddenly understood.

"Goku, your strength has increased a lot these past few years," Wang Yang said, looking at Son Goku.

"It's nothing special!" Son Goku rubbed his head and replied modestly.

"But your control over your ki has gotten worse. You should take some time to calm down and work on controlling it," Wang Yang added, pointing out Son Goku's weakness.

"You're right!" Son Goku nodded in agreement.

"Let's continue!"

Wang Yang turned to the two little ones again.

"Okay!"

"We definitely won't fail this time!"

After two failures, the two little ones were fired up to prove themselves.

"Fu...sion!"

A slight smile suddenly tugged at Wang Yang's lips.

Brilliant light soared into the sky, and a powerful aura swept across the area. Waves of ki rolled outward in every direction as a lithe figure slowly emerged from the smoke.

The boy had a handsome face and a confident smile. He wore a vest that revealed his well-defined abdomen, and his body was packed with taut muscles, as if brimming with explosive strength.

"Ha ha, they did it!" Krillin burst out laughing.

He could sense the boy's aura, which was like a blazing sun hanging high in the heavens. An endless stream of power radiated from him, leaving Krillin stunned.

A faint smile appeared on Piccolo's lips, too.

"What? This power..." At this moment, even without a Scouter, Vegeta could feel the unfamiliar, immensely powerful aura. He was utterly shocked.

The power was simply too great. Under the pressure of that mighty aura, Vegeta felt as small and helpless as a sailboat caught in a storm.

Vegeta regretted it. He regretted being so arrogant.

"You're not Gohan anymore, nor are you Wang Sheng. What's your name now?" Wang Yang asked with a smile, looking at the boy before him.

"I'll call myself Wu Sheng!"

Wu Sheng clenched his fists, carefully sensing the immense power within him.

"This power is incredible. Beating Vegeta will be a piece of cake."

After saying that, Wu Sheng loosened up where he stood. He threw punches and kicks, whipping up powerful gusts of wind as countless rocks rose into the air.

Wu Sheng suddenly clenched both fists, lowered his stance, and shouted.

"Ah!"

With a world-shaking cry, waves of ki surged outward in every direction. The airborne stones were blasted by the force and crumbled into dust.

Feeling the aura radiating from Wu Sheng, Goku sighed in amazement. He had never imagined fusion could be so powerful.

"Wang Yang, if we can't hold off the enemy later, let's try fusing, too!" Goku really wanted to know how strong he and Wang Yang would be together.

If the two of them fused, who in the universe could possibly stand against them?

"We'll see," Wang Yang replied calmly. In truth, he was somewhat reluctant to fuse, especially with the unpredictable Son Goku.

"Oh no, our enemy's about to arrive." The smile vanished from Wang Yang's face. His expression grew grave as he looked up at the distant sky.
