Chapter 61 Exchange Combat Techniques
Shang Yun realized that the reason the moon was attacked was probably to prevent the Saiyans from transforming into Great Apes. The battle might have already begun, but he didn't know where the battlefield was. So he flew rapidly to Earth and towards the Temple of the Gods. The Gods would definitely be watching the battlefield and would know its location.
When Shang Yun arrived at the Temple of the Gods, he saw four people fighting: Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, Krillin, and Chiaotzu.
Upon realizing that someone had arrived at the Temple of the Gods, the four stopped fighting and checked who it was.
"Shang! Shang Yun! You're back!?" Krillin recognized Shang Yun and rushed over excitedly to hug him, crying and shouting, "Shang Yun, Goku is dead!"
Shang Yun was tackled to the ground by Krillin, his mind racing: "Goku is really dead. The four of them are still training. It seems Raditz has arrived, but Vegeta and Nappa haven't. Everyone is training hard to prepare for the Saiyans. The moon must have been destroyed by Piccolo after Gohan turned into a Great Ape."
Thinking of this, Shang Yun felt somewhat relieved; it seemed the situation hadn't reached its worst point yet. Shang Yun helped Krillin up and calmed him down. Krillin knew that Goku could be resurrected, but he was still quite excited to see Shang Yun and couldn't contain his emotions.
Shang Yun greeted the other three, as well as Kami and Mr. Popo, and learned about the current situation. There was less than a month left until the one-year deadline for the Saiyans' arrival.
"Shang Yun, your strength was about the same as Wukong's before. Now that you've recovered from your training, our chances of winning are even greater!" Yamcha suddenly said excitedly.
Tien Shinhan and Krillin's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they were about to say something when Kami walked over, leaning on his cane: "Shang Yun, what is your strength now?"
"Yeah! Shang Yun! What's your strength now? When you arrived at the Heavenly Palace just now, we didn't sense your presence at all, and even now we can't tell how strong you are." Tien Shinhan stared at Shang Yun with his three eyes wide open and asked.
"Strength? I'm not quite sure what my strength is right now," Shang Yun replied.
During this time, Shang Yun had been diligently studying the Heart Sutra. Shang Yun's spiritual realm was already very high, and he believed that he had almost reached the highest realm of mortals. If he could go further, he could break through the boundary and reach the realm of Arhat or Immortal. However, the gap between the mortal and the immortal was as vast as clouds and mud, especially since Shang Yun could not easily comprehend it on his own.
However, spiritual realm is not true strength. Shang Yun's innate talent is limited, and his physical strength has not improved enough. Although he has broken through to the fourth level of the Prajna Heart Sutra, Refining Emptiness and Integrating with the Dao, and his internal energy has begun to gradually transform into true energy and begin to nourish himself and improve his innate talent, the process is relatively slow. Moreover, with Shang Yun's original talent, even if he improves, it will ultimately be limited.
Time, that's what we lack most right now.
"I don't know what my current strength is. My aptitude is limited, so my strength is improving relatively slowly. I've cultivated a somewhat special technique, and my current realm is Refining Emptiness and Integrating with the Dao." Shang Yun closed the attribute panel, looked at the expectant gazes of everyone, and awkwardly scratched his head with a smile.
"Refining the Void and Merging with the Dao? What does that mean? It sounds very powerful!" Klin asked curiously.
"Simply put, it means communicating with the void with your spirit and merging yourself into the void. Once you succeed, your strength will experience a qualitative leap, but before you succeed, there won't be much of an improvement," Shang Yun explained to everyone.
"Huh? Then wouldn't that mean..." Gyoza was about to say something when Tien Shinhan stopped her.
"However, my moves focus on defense and control, so they should still be somewhat effective." Not wanting to disappoint everyone, Shang Yun continued to explain, "I created a combat technique that I can teach you, which should improve your combat strength."
"Okay, I've also created my own move. Everyone, please help me see if there's anything I can improve." Klin didn't want to embarrass his brothers, so he quickly chimed in.
After speaking, Shang Yun explained the cultivation method of "Zen Mind, Three-Foot Divine Aura". Everyone present was a powerful martial artist, and without Shang Yun needing to explain further, they all knew that emotions had a huge impact on strength. However, excessive emotions could also affect judgment during daily cultivation and combat. After Shang Yun finished speaking, everyone understood the power of "Zen Mind, Three-Foot Divine Aura" and put aside their contempt for Shang Yun.
Krillin then explained his newly created "Ki Slash." The "Ki Slash" involves gathering internal energy into the palm of the hand using mental power, compressing it to form a powerful energy ball. This ball is then spun rapidly in the palm using highly concentrated mental power. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation further compresses and condenses the energy ball, giving it immense cutting and penetrating power. The rapidly spinning energy ball is shaped into a thin, saw-like disc to enhance its cutting effect. Finally, the Ki Slash is thrown straight out of the hand to attack the enemy. Due to its powerful cutting and penetrating force, it can slice the enemy in two like a knife.
After hearing Krillin's explanation of the "Destructo Slash," everyone was amazed by its incredible destructive power. Tien Shinhan also explained the training methods for the Tri-Beam Cannon and the Solar Flare.
The Solar Fist converts the body's internal energy (ki) into light energy, generating a powerful flash that temporarily blinds the enemy. The user places their hands on their forehead, controls and gathers ki, and then releases it as light. The greater the intensity of the ki, the stronger the converted light energy, the brighter the flash, and the better the blinding effect.
The Ki Blast involves gathering and compressing internal energy between the hands before releasing it explosively, generating powerful impact and destructive force. It can suppress opponents far stronger than oneself, but it consumes a tremendous amount of stamina and, if not controlled properly, can even be life-threatening. This is somewhat similar to the Kamehameha, but the Kamehameha is even more powerful. However, the Kamehameha can be strengthened by charging up, and its intensity depends on the user's own ki strength; relatively speaking, it consumes less stamina than the new Ki Blast.
Yamcha then explained his perfected "Air Blast".
Yamcha concentrates all his energy (ki) in his right palm, forming an energy ball. This energy gathering requires intense concentration and precise control of the ki to ensure its stable accumulation and power. Simultaneously, electrical energy is used to assist in controlling and guiding the energy. This interaction between electricity and ki makes the energy ball more stable and easier to manipulate, a key factor in its unique effects. After launching the energy ball, its trajectory can be controlled by extending the index and middle fingers, allowing it to change direction flexibly in the air, repeatedly attacking the opponent, or even burrowing underground for a surprise attack. This precise control of the energy ball requires immense mental strength, making the ki ball a highly flexible and stealthy attack method.
