"Do you wish to learn the Kamehameha?" Son Gohan saw through Sun Yu's intentions.
"Yes!" Sun Yu admitted decisively. "If possible, I hope you can guide my training."
Hearing Sun Yu's words, Son Gohan's expression shifted, and he replied, "However, young friend Sun, if my senses are correct, your strength has already far surpassed mine. Perhaps only Master himself could offer you guidance... but as for demonstrating the Kamehameha once, I can certainly do that."
"Alright, I'm counting on you!" Sun Yu looked at Grandpa Son Gohan with anticipation.
Son Gohan then walked to the open space in front of the house. Sun Yu and Lana followed, watching closely from the side. They saw Son Gohan press his palms together at his chest, his aura suddenly surging, before slowly drawing his hands to his waist and shouting, "Kamehameha!"
With a deafening boom, a massive boulder ahead was pulverized by the energy wave. Son Gohan let out a long breath, looked at Sun Yu with a pleased smile, and asked, "How was that? Did you see it clearly? Would you like to try it yourself, young friend Sun?"
Sun Yu, who had just retracted his Sharingan, smiled slightly at Grandpa Son Gohan and said, "Certainly, I shall make a fool of myself then!"
"No matter, just give it a try. If you do anything wrong, I will shamelessly point it out!" Son Gohan stepped aside, joining Lana to watch Sun Yu walk into the courtyard.
He had finally learned the move! Sun Yu was incredibly excited at this moment. He had mimicked the Kamehameha countless times in his childhood; now, he could actually unleash it and fulfill a long-held dream!
Casually pressing his palms together and flattening them against his chest, Sun Yu's aura erupted with a roar.
"Ka... me..."
"Young friend Sun's aura..." Son Gohan's heart skipped a beat. His face turned deathly pale. Even though he had tried his best to overestimate Sun Yu, he realized in the end that he had still underestimated his strength!
"Damn Kael, when did he get this strong!" Lana gritted her teeth from the side. Since she wasn't carrying a Scouter, she couldn't determine Sun Yu's exact combat power, but she could feel that his strength was likely very close to her own. A sense of crisis suddenly welled up in her heart.
"...Ha... me..." Sun Yu drew his hands back to his waist, a terrifying light suddenly erupting from his palms. His aura reached a new peak, his powerful presence causing the surrounding earth to tremble.
"...Ha!"
He thrust his palms forward abruptly, and a thick, powerful beam of light shot out, heading straight for the distant hills. The ground shook violently, and the hills in the distance exploded instantly, turning into countless fragments of stone.
Gulp.
Seeing this, Son Gohan was so shocked his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. For a moment, he didn't know what to say; he had just been boasting about wanting to guide Sun Yu.
"Sorry, sorry. I used a bit too much force by accident!" Sun Yu said to Grandpa Son Gohan while scratching his head.
"Sigh, truly, heroes emerge from the youth. Young friend Sun's talent is simply astonishing. It seems I am truly old," Grandpa Son Gohan laughed at himself.
Although the Kamehameha is a low-level martial art, its ability to charge up and provide a secondary burst of power in the later stages gives it unparalleled room for growth. This is precisely why Son Goku was so keen on using this skill.
After chatting for a while longer, Sun Yu and Lana bid farewell to Son Gohan and continued their journey to find the Dragon Balls.
Counting the Four-Star Ball they had just obtained, Sun Yu now had four Dragon Balls in his possession, with only three remaining. Following the display on the Dragon Radar, Sun Yu and Lana flew rapidly toward the tropical region in the south.
As the Dragon Radar indicated they were nearing the Dragon Ball, Sun Yu saw a white tower rising into the clouds ahead. He grinned; he had finally found it—the legendary Korin Sacred Land, the home of the Guardian!
Korin Tower was located on the tropical plains of the southern world, guarded for generations by the Indian Tribe. It was known as the birthplace of martial arts, and for thousands of years, countless martial arts masters had come here seeking to climb Korin Tower, yet it seemed only Mutaito had ever succeeded.
"Look, Kael, there seems to be an army down there!" Lana pointed to a large group of people in the distance.
Sun Yu looked in the direction Lana indicated. Sure enough, many soldiers armed with live ammunition were stationed near the village by Korin Tower. They wore fierce expressions and were beating the innocent Indian Tribe villagers.
"Could they be after the Dragon Ball too?" Sun Yu guessed this possibility. In the original story, Bora, the guardian of Korin Tower, did indeed possess a Dragon Ball—it seemed to be the Three-Star Ball.
"Kael, let's go take a look."
Like all female creatures in the universe, Lana was born with a love for watching the action, even though she would deny it most of the time. It seemed he would have to wait a while before paying his respects to the Guardian. Sun Yu shook his head helplessly. Since Korin Tower was right there, going up a little later wouldn't hurt.
"Alright." Sun Yu responded. The two of them leaped from the sky and strolled toward the army.
The insignia on the army's uniforms was a red bowtie with a capital "R" on each side. It was definitely the Red Ribbon Army!
But in Sun Yu's memory, didn't the Red Ribbon Army only start collecting the Dragon Balls after Goku participated in the World Martial Arts Tournament? Why were they already at Korin Tower? Was this the butterfly effect caused by his own arrival?
"You two brats, stop right there!"
A foreign-looking officer blocked Sun Yu and Lana. He stood with his hands on his hips and shouted, "If you're smart, get lost! Disobedient kids are going to get shot! Hahaha..."
"Wait a moment..."
Before Sun Yu could decide how to kill this officer who looked so punchable, another person appeared.
This man wore his military uniform very neatly, his sapphire-blue eyes accentuating his handsome face. He marched up to Sun Yu and sneered, "Heh, I really didn't expect that you two were also here for the Dragon Ball!"
"General Blue, are you sure? They actually know about the Dragon Balls too!" the previous foreign officer exclaimed in surprise.
Sun Yu immediately recognized this man as General Blue, the commander of the Red Ribbon Army's Blue Squad, who possessed psychic powers. It was also rumored that he was a germaphobe!
"Oh my, you caught me..." Sun Yu smiled maliciously and said, "Can you tell me how you found out?"
"Hmph, telling you won't hurt!" General Blue's expression was cold as he looked at Sun Yu with contempt. "Because we have a Dragon Radar. The fact that you have four Dragon Balls has been completely exposed. It was really hard work for you to collect so many for our army, hahaha..."
They actually had a Dragon Radar too!
This truly shocked Sun Yu, but thinking about it, it made sense. The Red Ribbon Army had the super genius Dr. Gero; it was perfectly normal for him to be able to build a Dragon Radar.
"How did you find out about the Dragon Balls?" This was something Sun Yu couldn't figure out. Logically, not many people on Earth should have known about the Dragon Balls at this time, yet the reality was that the enemy even had a Dragon Radar.
"Kid, you have a lot of questions! But since you've contributed four Dragon Balls to this General, I'll tell you!" General Blue maintained his rigid posture and said, "Our leader, Commander Red, met the famous Briefs at a charity banquet a while ago. The matter of the Dragon Balls was mentioned by him inadvertently after he had too much to drink... He even mentioned two miraculous young people, which must be you two!"
It really was because of him. Sun Yu felt a mix of amusement and frustration. He thought to himself that this Briefs was the type to lose his tongue after a few drinks. But so what? With his own strength, wiping out the Red Ribbon Army was easier than crushing an ant!
"Alright, kid, your questions are answered. Now hand over the Dragon Balls!"
