Master Roshi was stunned for several seconds.

Immediately after, Master Roshi stared at Vegeta without blinking.

"Hahaha, you little fellow are quite interesting; I've never heard anyone brag like that." Master Roshi laughed heartily. "You should know who I am, right? I am Master Mutaito, known as the God of Martial Arts, and even I don't have the ability to shatter the Earth with a single punch!"

Vegeta gave a faint smile.

"How about this, forget about shattering the Earth... let me see your strength first, to see if you're worth me teaching you." Master Roshi smiled.

"Let's go outside, otherwise I'd feel bad if I broke your house." Vegeta said.

"Hahaha, you make it sound like it's going to be such an intense battle." Master Roshi laughed loudly. "Very well, let's go outside then."

The next moment, Vegeta followed Master Roshi outside the house.

"Come on, little guy, attack me with all your might." Master Roshi beckoned to Vegeta.

"Then I won't hold back; you'd better be careful." Vegeta said.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Master Roshi wore a look of confidence.

Sea Turtle was also standing to the side, filled with endless anticipation.

Did I see that right?

This little brat wants to challenge Master Mutaito?

Good.

Just the right opportunity for Master Mutaito to give this little devil a good thrashing.

"You may begin." Master Roshi signaled to Vegeta once more.

"Alright." Vegeta lightly flicked his sleeve.

"Whoosh!"

A formless burst of energy appeared directly in front of Master Roshi in an instant.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, Master Roshi was struck before he could even react, his body sent flying backward at high speed.

"Crash..."

Master Roshi's body punched straight through the house behind him, bursting out the other side.

Following that, Master Roshi tumbled across the ground, carving out several craters before plunging directly into the ocean behind.

The seawater surged dozens of meters into the air.

Master Roshi continued to roll back and forth within the ocean.

By the time Master Roshi finally came to a stop, his head lolled to the side, and he nearly passed out.

Sea Turtle, standing to the side, was dumbfounded with terror.

What just happened?

What on earth took place?

"Damn... I still didn't control my strength well enough." Vegeta shook his head, immediately shot into the sky, and quickly appeared beside Master Roshi.

"Snap!"

Vegeta reached out, grabbed the shell on Master Roshi's back, hauled him out of the seawater, and brought him back to the small island.

Immediately after, Vegeta pulled a Senzu Bean from his pocket and stuffed it into Master Roshi's mouth.

After swallowing the Senzu Bean, Master Roshi immediately opened his eyes, looking at Vegeta with a hint of terror.

"Cough, cough... little guy... what... what was it you said to me just now?" Cold sweat beaded on Master Roshi's face.

"I said, I want to learn martial arts from you." Vegeta said.

Master Roshi: "..."

"Cough, cough... little guy, are you serious? You're already this strong... and you still want to learn from me?" Master Roshi felt like crying.

"It is precisely because I am too strong that I need to learn from you." Vegeta replied.

Master Roshi fell silent.

What kind of logic is that?

I don't even know what to say to you anymore.

"Simply put, I accidentally became too strong; my own strength increased 500-fold in just five or six days... I don't really know how to control this power yet." Vegeta said truthfully. "That is why I want to learn from you, to learn how to control my own power."

Master Roshi: "..."

Master Roshi was completely dumbfounded.

"You... you just said it increased by how much?" Master Roshi asked.

"500 times." Vegeta said.

Master Roshi didn't make a sound.

500 times...

Are you even human?

Sea Turtle rolled his eyes, nearly fainting on the spot.

"Cough, cough... how did you manage that?" Master Roshi asked with a bitter smile.

"It's simple. I drank the Ultra Divine Water like it was wine," Vegeta said, pulling the bottle of Ultra Divine Water from his tunic.

"Ultra Divine Water? That name sounds familiar..." Master Roshi paused, then suddenly snapped back to reality. "Th-th-this... is this stuff from Korin?"

"That's right," Vegeta nodded.

"That guy Korin... he actually gave such a precious divine water to you?" Master Roshi was at a loss for words. "That wretched old cat! Back in the day, I begged him for the Ultra Divine Water, but he wouldn't give me a drop... he just gave me regular water and claimed it was the Ultra Sacred Water... the shameless old cat!"

"If you want to drink it, I can give you some once you teach me how to control my ki. You can drink as much as you want," Vegeta said.

"Really? That's fantastic! It's a deal!" Master Roshi nodded excitedly.

This kid drank the Ultra Divine Water and got 500 times stronger.

If I drink it, maybe I could even regain my youth.

How much would my power increase?

I might even get 1,000 times stronger.

Master Roshi's face was filled with endless anticipation.

"By the way, what was your name again?" Master Roshi asked.

"Vegeta," Vegeta replied.

"Uh... that tail of yours is quite unique. Is it real?" Master Roshi had noticed Vegeta's tail for a while now.

"It's real, but that's not the point. Hurry up and teach me," Vegeta said.

"You want to control your own ki? That is, the energy within your body, right?" Master Roshi mused. "Actually, it's not that difficult. You just need to calm your mind and spirit, and you'll slowly be able to sense the ki inside you, then take that ki and..."

As he spoke, Master Roshi shared his own views and insights on ki.

Vegeta listened patiently.

Three minutes later.

Master Roshi was still rambling on.

"I understand," Vegeta said suddenly.

Master Roshi: "????"

Master Roshi wore a look of utter confusion.

I haven't even finished yet.

How could you possibly understand already?

"Um... let me finish what I'm saying," Master Roshi said hurriedly.

"Shut up and let me study it myself," Vegeta said.

Master Roshi: "..."

This little brat is not likable at all.

Fine... if you want to study it yourself, then go ahead.

You'd better not come asking me for help again.

Wait a minute...

My house...

This kid said he wanted to go outside to fight... but he still managed to put two holes in my house.

Vegeta ignored Master Roshi, walking quietly to the side to silently digest everything he had just heard.

Vegeta took a deep breath, and the massive energy radiating from his body was rapidly integrated back into his core.

"Hoo..."

Vegeta exhaled a burst of energy.

The next moment, he silently gauged the intensity of the energy he was emitting.

Not bad.

I've already hidden fifty or sixty percent of it.

Again!

Another ten minutes passed.

Vegeta had successfully internalized all of his ki.

Vegeta had finally mastered the ability to freely control his aura and energy.

Master Roshi's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

This kid mastered it that quickly?

This guy is truly a martial arts prodigy.
