Chapter 23

Sitting on the ground, Jing Tian panted heavily and looked up at Master Roshi, saying, "No, my physical strength isn't enough right now. I can barely create a faint afterimage."

Master Roshi nodded and said, "Of course, you've only been training for half a month. Being able to do this much is already quite good. In the future, as your physical strength improves, the duration and number of afterimages you can create will gradually increase."

Seeing Jing Tian's exhaustion, Master Roshi asked, "Why don't you go inside to rest for a bit before continuing?"

Jing Tian didn't refuse and followed Master Roshi into the room, with Bulma looking worried.

After sitting down, Master Roshi said to Jing Tian, "Your main weakness right now is your physical strength. We martial artists start training our bodies from a young age, step by step. Of course, those with better conditions also use medicinal baths to assist in training, which can enhance the effects. Since you started training later in life, you can only improve gradually. Remember, martial arts training must not be rushed. Focus on your mental state; otherwise, your achievements will be limited."

Jing Tian nodded in understanding after hearing Master Roshi's words. He then asked, "Teacher, do you have the formula for the medicinal bath? I want to use it to assist in my training."

Master Roshi replied, "Oh, I do have a few formulas, but using a medicinal bath for training requires a significant amount of money. You don't seem like someone who has a lot of money."

At this moment, Bulma quickly interjected, "Money isn't a problem. My family's company makes so much money we don't know what to do with it. Master Roshi, please give us the formula quickly."

With a teasing look, Master Roshi watched as Jing Tian's face turned black, and he helplessly patted Bulma's small head. He said, "I know you're doing this for my benefit, but why do I always feel like I'm being taken advantage of?"

Bulma, hearing this, shyly缩了缩脖子,吐了下舌头道, "我不是那个意思的……"

Jing Tian interrupted Bulma, "放心吧，我知道。不过关于钱财问题倒是不用担心，我以前旅行时在海下发现过一处宝藏，里面金银财宝多得数不胜数，以前我感觉没什么用，就没拿扔在了那里，现在有需要了随时都可以去取。"

Master Roshi, hearing this, said somewhat jealously, "You really have good luck. You can find a treasure just by wandering around."

Bulma also excitedly said, "真的真的？那景添我们快点去取吧。哇~~宝藏诶，我都没见过呢。"

Oolong, unable to bear it, sneered at Bulma, "You should be ashamed. Your family is already so rich, and you get so excited about the news of a treasure..."

Bulma turned to Oolong and shouted, "You don't understand? It's not about the treasure itself, but the process of finding it! The process! You big oaf!"

Oolong, with a black face, retorted, "I'm a pig, and I'm really sorry!"

Jing Tian watched them argue with a smile and pulled Bulma back, saying, "Alright, alright. The treasure won't fly away, so we can go get it when we have time. Besides, it's not that safe in there."

Seeing Master Roshi's envious and jealous look, Jing Tian quickly added, "When I get it, I'll show it to you. Take whatever you like. Money means nothing to me."

Hearing Jing Tian's words, not only Bulma and Oolong were excited, but Master Roshi also looked forward to it.

Seeing Jing Tian turn to look at him, Master Roshi said a bit embarrassedly, "Since that's the case, I'll go find the formula for you."

Saying this, he ran into the inner room... and soon the sound of rummaging could be heard.

During this time, Jing Tian rested and recovered his strength while answering Bulma and Oolong's questions about the underwater treasure he had seen in comic books. For some questions he couldn't answer, he claimed he hadn't paid much attention at the time and didn't know.

After a while, Master Roshi came out with a few yellowed sheets of paper and handed them to Jing Tian, saying, "Here you go."

Jing Tian carefully took them and looked, but found he couldn't understand them. He had to pass the formulas to Bulma. Bulma happily took them and carefully tucked them away.

Seeing Bulma put them away, Jing Tian turned to Master Roshi and said, "Once we get back to West City, we'll start collecting the ingredients. I'll send some over for Little Goku to use as well."

Master Roshi agreed happily.

Seeing Jing Tian almost fully recovered, Master Roshi said, "I'll demonstrate the Kamehameha for you. Just relax and sit down."

With Jing Tian's cooperation, Master Roshi came in front of him, raised his right hand, and quickly pointed at Jing Tian's forehead with his index and middle fingers.

As Master Roshi pointed, Jing Tian suddenly found himself unable to control his body. Scanning with his mind, he discovered that Master Roshi had used his ki to disrupt his brain's neural functions.

Understanding what was happening, Jing Tian's mind moved, slowly expelling the ki that Master Roshi had left in his brain. Soon, the feeling in his body returned.

Seeing Jing Tian recover so quickly, Master Roshi was a bit surprised but didn't ask more. He then said to Jing Tian, "Did you get it?"

Jing Tian nodded and explained the principle.

Master Roshi nodded in satisfaction and said, "For the Kamehameha, let's go outside to demonstrate. There's not enough space in here."

Leading Jing Tian to the beach, Master Roshi said, "The Kamehameha uses ki to create friction, which generates an electric effect. Then, it uses the Kamehameha's method of exerting force. Watch carefully."

Saying this, Master Roshi placed his hands together in front of his chest and slowly opened his palms. As he did, a crackling sound could be heard from his palms.

As Master Roshi's hands flipped forward, he shouted, "Kamehameha!" A bolt of lightning quickly shot out from his palms and connected to a rock by the sea.

Without stopping, Master Roshi lifted his hands, and everyone saw the rock he had hit slowly rise into the air, surrounded by the current of electricity he had generated.

After about three seconds, Master Roshi released his control, and the rock, now marked with streaks, fell with a splash.

Master Roshi, slightly out of breath, turned to look at Jing Tian.

Using his mind's scan and super learning ability, Jing Tian had already fully grasped the technique. Seeing Master Roshi's gaze, he didn't say anything. He placed his hands together and then pushed out a crackling bolt of lightning.

However, as Jing Tian had feared, the small bolt of lightning hit the rock and disappeared before he could lift his hands, and Jing Tian swayed and sat down again.

Shaking his head helplessly, Jing Tian looked up at Master Roshi, feeling dejected.

"Ha ha ha ha..." Master Roshi, somewhat gleefully, realized his behavior was unbecoming of a teacher and quickly corrected himself, saying, "It's fine, it's fine. It's just a matter of physical strength. You'll improve with more training."
