The Profound Path of Ki

Standing on the shore, Yuujin exhaled softly, then calmed his mind and adjusted his breath.

Following the method that Turtle Hermit had just taught him, Yuujin circulated the energy within his body, moving his arms in a circular motion before slowly bringing them together at his waist.

In that instant, the aura around Yuujin seemed to undergo a dramatic transformation. Turtle Hermit, who had already taken a few steps away, also stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at Yuujin.

"Kame... Hame... Ha!!!"

A dazzling light burst forth between Yuujin's palms. As his hands thrust forward, a wave of qigong shot out with an unstoppable momentum.

The sea was instantly split in two, stretching all the way to the horizon.

It was exactly the same as when Turtle Hermit had unleashed his Kamehameha earlier!

"Ah... Ahhh..."

With his mouth agape, Turtle Hermit was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped.

Yuujin had mastered his Kamehameha so quickly!

After unleashing the Kamehameha, Yuujin was slightly out of breath, feeling a wave of fatigue wash over him.

This was a normal reaction after releasing a large amount of energy at once. As he grew stronger and had more energy within his body, this feeling would likely disappear.

"Amazing! Yuujin, you're incredible!"

Goku, with her wide, sparkling eyes, jumped up and down in excitement. She tried to imitate Yuujin and Turtle Hermit by bringing her hands together and pushing forward.

However, despite mimicking their movements, nothing happened when Goku attempted it.

"Why isn't it working? Why can't I do it?"

Goku looked frustrated, while Turtle Hermit and the sea turtle finally snapped out of their shock.

"Turtle... Turtle Hermit, didn't you say Yuujin would need a few more years to learn your Kamehameha?"

"I... How would I know?"

The sea turtle asked in disbelief, while Turtle Hermit's beard trembled.

The Kamehameha was a technique Turtle Hermit had spent countless effort and energy creating. No one understood better than him how difficult it was to master.

Seeing Yuujin learn his ultimate technique so easily, Turtle Hermit felt utterly defeated.

However, unlike Turtle Hermit's astonishment, Yuujin was well aware of his own shortcomings.

Even though his Kamehameha looked exactly the same as Turtle Hermit's, it was really just an imitation.

To put it in simple terms, if Turtle Hermit used 100 units of energy to produce 1,000 units of destructive power, Yuujin, despite using the same 100 units of energy, could only produce two or three hundred units of destructive power.

The gap between the two was enormous!

Of course, this was to be expected. After all, it was Yuujin's first time using the Kamehameha. There were many subtle aspects he had not yet mastered. If he could instantly reach or surpass Turtle Hermit's level, that would be truly strange.

Nevertheless, Yuujin was very confident. With constant practice, he was sure he could reach Turtle Hermit's level.

And even surpass him!

In the days that followed, Yuujin continued his training. Every day, aside from basic exercises, he practiced the Kamehameha tirelessly.

Time flew by, and two more years passed...

...

Amid the mechanical roar of machinery, a construction crew was gathered at the foot of a mountain, seemingly waiting for someone important.

Before long, a figure appeared in the distance, slowly walking toward them.

It was a boy who looked about eleven or twelve, his expression firm, without any trace of the childishness typical of his peers.

The boy wore a red martial arts uniform, with a black-and-white "Turtle" emblem embroidered on the left side of his chest. He carried a massive, ornate fan on his back and exuded a strikingly elegant aura.

It was Yuujin!

Seeing Yuujin arrive, the foreman's eyes lit up. He immediately greeted him with a big smile.

"Master Yuujin, we'll be troubling you again this time."

"No problem."

Yuujin nodded calmly in response.

"Master Yuujin, do you need to rest first? We're not in a hurry."

"No need, I want to finish quickly and head back."

"Tell me the requirements, and I'll get started right away."

"Of course, of course! Please wait a moment."

Having worked with Yuujin several times before, the foreman knew his personality well and didn't dare delay. He immediately called over the experts to explain the construction details to Yuujin.

The construction team was planning to carve a tunnel through the mountain and build a railway for trains. Using conventional methods would require an enormous amount of manpower, resources, and time. There was also the risk of a landslide.

However, they didn't intend to use conventional methods. Instead, they planned to have Master Yuujin use Ki Blast to create the tunnel.

Such an outlandish method seemed unbelievable at first. But after witnessing it firsthand, they had no choice but to believe.

"Everyone, step back."

After hearing the experts' explanation of the construction requirements, Yuujin wasted no time and positioned himself at the base of the mountain. The experts and workers quickly moved to a safe distance.

Knowing the awe-inspiring moment was about to come, no one dared blink as they focused on Yuujin, not wanting to miss a second.

Under everyone's gaze, Yuujin took a deep breath, adjusted his energy, moved his arms in a circle, and brought them together at his waist—

"Kame... Hame... Ha!!!"

A blinding light erupted as Yuujin unleashed a powerful energy wave.

With a thunderous roar, the energy wave penetrated the mountain, following its contours, twisting and turning, until it shot out the other side.

In just a few seconds, a perfect tunnel several kilometers long was completed!

"Ah... Ahhh..."

Even though they had witnessed this miracle several times before, the experts and workers were once again left speechless, their mouths agape.

"It's done."

Yuujin, his energy undiminished, turned to the foreman.

"As expected of Master Yuujin. Truly divine craftsmanship."

"Here is your payment, Master. Please take a look."

Snapping out of his awe, the foreman quickly handed Yuujin a chest filled with coins.

After inspecting it briefly, Yuujin nodded.

"The deal is complete."

Without saying another word, Yuujin gradually walked away under the reverent gazes of everyone present...
