Spirit-Awakening Potion

"[Flight Buff]: Flight speed increased by 10%!"

"A hidden achievement?" Li Shu noticed this subtle change.

The last time he had earned a hidden achievement was at Nobi Bear's yakitori shop, where he helped Nobi Bear subdue a legendary Cool Cool Dinosaur, earning him a bottle of [Invisibility Epiphany Potion] that he still hadn't been able to bring himself to use.

Now that he had secured another hidden achievement, comparing the two, Li Shu vaguely felt as though he had discovered a pattern.

"The Cool Cool Dragon wasn't in the original story; it was something I discovered by accident."

"Teaching Son Goku the Flight Technique ahead of schedule changed the original plot progression."

"From this, the method to trigger hidden achievements becomes clear."

"Method one: Contact characters who did not appear in the original work, improve their favorability, and there is a probability of triggering it."

"Method two: Perform actions that alter the original plot."

After Li Shu jotted these two points down in his notebook, he took out the Dragon Radar to check it, then soared into the air and flew toward Goku, saying, "Time to go, Goku."

Red Ribbon Army headquarters command center.

"Report, Commander! The Dragon Radar has detected a new signal!"

"Oh?" A short, middle-aged man leaned back in his executive chair, a pipe clamped between his lips. With a black eyepatch over his right eye and his legs crossed, he asked in a good mood, "In what direction?"

"Report, Commander! The signal is in the direction of Papaya Island and is moving rapidly toward our Muscle Tower branch. The target's aircraft is very fast."

"Papaya Island? I heard the World Martial Arts Tournament just finished there." Colonel Silver, with his shock of red hair, wore a look of disdain on his face.

He continued his analysis, "This Dragon Ball was most likely brought there by contestants from all over the country. Now that the tournament is over, they must be heading back."

"Toward Muscle Tower? It seems they are martial artists living in the north."

The smile on Colonel Silver's face grew even more dismissive as he said playfully, "I'm quite interested in these martial artists."

"Commander, let me go." Colonel Silver volunteered, his face full of confidence.

One had to know that in his usual training, he was the type to take on ten men at once, and those he fought were the elite soldiers of the army. He had absolute confidence in his own strength.

The World Martial Arts Tournament, with its one-on-one fighting style that didn't even allow the use of weapons, was a joke in his eyes; he had no interest in participating whatsoever.

He believed that if he had entered, he could have easily taken the championship.

Commander Red looked at the confident Colonel Silver and said with great satisfaction, "Colonel Silver, then I shall send you to retrieve our Dragon Ball."

"As you wish, Commander!" Colonel Silver turned and strode away stylishly, taking a group of his men to board a fighter jet and fly toward Papaya Island.

"Goku, you have to fly standing up, like me." Li Shu glanced at Goku, who was flying prone, determined to use his own influence to change the habit of everyone in Dragon Ball flying while lying flat.

Goku looked at his big brother in confusion, only just realizing why his brother was flying upright.

But he didn't think too much about it and tried flying standing up for a while, though he soon said, "Big brother, flying standing up isn't as comfortable as flying lying down."

"But it's cool," Li Shu explained, unfazed.

"Cool?" Goku didn't quite understand the explanation, but under his big brother's strong insistence, he ultimately chose to fly standing up.

But soon, Goku called for the Flying Nimbus, sat down on it, and chuckled, "Big brother, flying while sitting is pretty cool too, right?"

Looking at Goku's mount, a flash of envy crossed Li Shu's eyes. If one were to talk about the coolest way to fly, it would naturally be sword-riding or flying atop a handsome, majestic mount.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly stirred as he thought of the [Spirit-Awakening Potion].

Li Shu pulled out the dinosaur leg and took out the [Spirit-Awakening Potion], then, under Goku's curious gaze, applied the potion evenly over the meat.

"Ding! Congratulations, spirit-awakening successful!"

[Never-ending Dinosaur Leg - LV4]

Variety: Renewable edible spirit artifact

Ability 1: Can be attached to the leg

Ability 2: Can emit an alluring meaty aroma

Ability 3: Sentience

Ability 4: Aerial flight

Ability 5: Increases combat power by 5% when equipped

Aerial flight!

Sentience!

Li Shu was ecstatic. Aerial flight was easy to understand, but the word "sentience" left him a bit puzzled; it was just too vague.

However, Li Shu wasn't dissatisfied; on the contrary, he was quite pleased. Vague is good.

He understood now: the more vague the description, the greater its potential and the higher its ceiling.

Just as Li Shu was deep in thought, Goku took a bite toward the dinosaur leg; the alluring aroma was simply too tempting.

Something neither Li Shu nor Goku expected happened: the dinosaur leg actually moved on its own, dodging Goku's bite.

At that instant, Li Shu actually sensed a flicker of emotion from the Dinosaur Leg, as if it were saying: I'm not letting you eat me.

Is this what they call spirituality? Li Shu was somewhat startled; this was truly too spiritual.

However, Li Shu was not satisfied with just this; his ultimate goal was to fly by riding the leg!

He wanted to see if, after gaining spirituality, the Dinosaur Leg was actually capable of aerial flight.

"Big Brother! This Dinosaur Leg of yours is a monster! It's cooked through and it can still move on its own!" Wukong rubbed his chin, exclaiming while trying to soothe the toothache from biting into thin air.

"Heh heh." Li Shu laughed heartily. "Wukong, watch closely. Big Brother is going to show you something cool."

Wukong hurriedly widened his eyes, watching without even blinking.

Li Shu tossed the Dinosaur Leg into the air and silently commanded in his mind: See that yellow cloud over there? In a moment, you are to carry me and fly just like that cloud.

At the same time, he softly shouted, "Go!"

What happened next thrilled Li Shu: the Dinosaur Leg actually understood his intent, and with a whoosh, it flew right beneath his feet.

Is this spirituality?

Awesome! Li Shu roared in his heart, too awesome!

What's so great about flying on a sword? I'm flying on a leg! And it's a crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside Dinosaur Leg at that!

Who else can say the same?

Li Shu was in a fantastic mood. Just like Wukong when he first learned the Flight Technique, he zipped back and forth through the sky, having the time of his life.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, why can a roasted Dinosaur Leg fly? Is it really a monster?" Wukong chased after him, asking repeatedly.

"What kind of talk is that? What are you saying?" Li Shu explained with dissatisfaction. "This is a spiritual weapon refined by your Big Brother."

"A spiritual weapon?" Wukong expressed his confusion.

Li Shu said patiently, "It's a weapon that possesses spirituality! Just like your Ruyi Staff; doesn't your staff change size on its own?"

"Oh, oh!" Put that way, Wukong understood. He took out his Ruyi Staff and took a bite, nearly shattering his teeth. With a bitter face, he asked, "Why can't my spiritual weapon be eaten?"
