This time, the task was announced without any mention of rewards, so when Li Zhenwu received his reward after completing it, he was ecstatic.
This unexpected joy was akin to their reaction upon meeting the true client for the escort mission.
This actual client was a girl, more specifically, a very young girl of about... ten years old. Seeing this little girl, Li Zhenwu instantly grasped why her uncle would desire to usurp the throne.
What a young, adorable monarch!
The royal family of the The Land of Bean Jam is named after red beans (a detail I'm (the original chinese author) making up since the original work doesn't elaborate), which is why this girl is named Anko (sweet red bean paste).
Having found the true client for the mission, Li Zhenwu and his group set out again, prepared to complete the task perfectly.
The journey ahead was much calmer.
"Lord Zhenwu, how are you so strong?" On the way, even though they were in a hurry, the future monarch of the The Land of Bean Jam, Anko, frequently followed closely behind Li Zhenwu, expressing a unique admiration for him.
This admiration and affection emerged after she learned that her uncle's conspiracy was completely uncovered and thwarted by Li Zhenwu alone.
"Because I'm just that strong," Li Zhenwu replied lazily, sensing that Anko was a bit clingy.
However, Anko was so enthusiastic that she kept pulling Li Zhenwu for conversations about various topics, making the journey somewhat less dull.
One day, after nightfall, Li Zhenwu quietly got up and walked into the woods outside.
He was about to test the power of the reward he received from the system.
This system reward had initially thrilled Li Zhenwu, as it was exactly what he had been dreaming of lately—the training method for "Ki"!
A nearly indispensable training technique for Ki in the Dragon Ball universe!
With the Ki training method in hand, Li Zhenwu could now officially begin practicing Ki, and he intended to thoroughly tap into his true potential as a Saiyan.
The Ki training method required 500 battle points in the Saiyan system's exchange list, but after defeating the formidable Raiga Kurosuki, Li Zhenwu earned 150 battle points, making it impossible for him to redeem it.
To his surprise, however, the subsequent task reward was this very training method, saving him 500 battle points.
The reason Li Zhenwu sneaked out was to test the differences between his Ki and Chakra.
While Chakra requires hand seals to release ninjutsu, Ki is far simpler and more straightforward in its application.
Although this simplicity is built on the premise that Ki possesses tremendous power; with powerful Ki, there's no need for intricate maneuvers—a simple Ki blast could effectively resolve most issues.
Li Zhenwu faced a large tree, pressed his palms together, and with a low shout, exclaimed, "Ki Powered: Thunder Shock Surprise!"
A powerful electrical current surged between his palms, gathering until it resembled a ball.
"The Thunder Shock Surprise driven by Ki really has a noticeable difference compared to its Chakra-driven variant!"
Li Zhenwu felt the energy closely before releasing it.
"Boom!"
A brilliant blue electric current slammed into the tree. In the first moment, the entire tree turned charred; in the second, it caught fire; and in the third, it disintegrated into wisps of black smoke!
"Wow." Seeing the power of the Ki-driven Thunder Shock Surprise, Li Zhenwu couldn't help but click his tongue. The strength of Ki far exceeded his expectations.
The electrical current he unleashed with the Thunder Shock Surprise was over ten thousand volts!
What does that mean? Household appliances typically operate on just a few dozen watts, which is already enough to be lethal.
Yet, with Li Zhenwu's Ki-fueled Thunder Shock Surprise, it was a staggering ten thousand volts, and he could control this current and continuously output pressure!
Of course, this was contingent on having sufficient Ki.
After unleashing the Thunder Shock Surprise, Li Zhenwu realized he had used up quite a bit of Ki.
"I still need to conserve it," he thought.
In Dragon Ball, Goku was already a teenager when he first learned Ki, which was why he quickly mastered it. Li Zhenwu, on the other hand, was only four years old and had yet to fully tap into his body's potential, which would gradually be released as he grew.
After experimenting with the Thunder Shock Surprise, Li Zhenwu also tested his physical capabilities with Ki.
The results of the experiment were astonishing and left him speechless.
