Chapter 539: The Blessing of Being Single
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The New Year's Day holiday was over.
The sun had not yet risen. In front of his shop, Zhang Zian was standing against the chilly wind in the early morning. Cupping his hands by placing the roots of his palms together, he then drew his hands slowly to the right of his waist. He squared away his legs and stood steadily as if he was planting himself to the earth.
He took a deep breath and felt the flow of latent energy inside his body. He brought the infinite energy of the universe to every corner of his body, and then gathered all the energy and concentrated it between his cupped hands.
His palms suddenly became scorching hot, as if he was holding a miniature nuclear reactor, and if he did not exhaust all his strength to control it, the nuclear reactor might explode at any minute.
Zhang Zian was practicing the Kamehameha, also known as the ”Turtle Destruction Wave”, a signature energy attack in the Dragon Ball series. He was so delighted, because he believed that this time, he was going to successfully shoot out a streaming, powerful beam of energy as in the anime series!
So, he focused on his front, and uttered the word of Kamehameha slowly!
”Ka—”
”Me—”
”Ha—”
”Me—”
”Ha—”
As he uttered the last ”Ha—”, he thrust forward the nuclear reactor in his palms with his full effort!
In his imagination; his pet shop, the street, and the entire Binhai City would be burned into ashes by such a powerful blast. The atmospheric layer would be ripped open and a terrible hole would appear. Dust, gravel, boulders and buildings would be drawn into the infinite empty space; and a scar as deep as several hundred meters would be seen from the surface of the earth; and everyone in this world would be in awe of him.
However, nothing happened in reality.
There was no wind at all. Not even a leaf of the lobular red, sandalwood potted-plant that he placed two meters away from him was shaking.
”What's going on?”
He maintained his posture to contemplate his attempt.
”Master, you ... what are you doing?”
Wang Qian and Li Kun, who were both carrying a pancake, appeared. They wiped the sauce on their mouths and stared with astonishment at Zhang Zian's bizarre posture.
For fear that his gathered energy would be interfered with by moving around; Zhang Zian stood still, glanced at them, and said solemnly, ”It is said that if we remain single, we can ultimately master the Kamehameha. So, I will try this attack every year around the New Year's Day.”
”Hm... Really?”
Ordinary people certainly did not believe Zhang Zian's words, but Wang Qian and Li Kun, who were really stupid, found his words somewhat credible.
”Of course, it's true! Being single is a very valuable asset!” Zhang Zian said affirmatively.
Wang Qian and Li Kun thrillingly stuffed the pancakes into their mouths; ran next to Zhang Zian, and awkwardly imitated Zhang Zian's posture.
”You are standing too high! Square away your legs with a wider stance!”
”Your fingers must exert power; like you are clinging to a cliff. If you don't hold on tight, you will fall off the cliff!”
Zhang Zian solemnly instructed the two of them.
”Have you felt the scorching heat in your palms?” asked Zhang Zian.
Wang Qian and Li Kun concentrated and vaguely felt the heat in their palms.
Finally, when they correctly mimicked the essential movements of the Kamehameha, Zhang Zian clapped his hands and said, ”All right, listen to me! Ka—”
”Me—”
”Ha—”
”Me—”
”Ha—”
