Garou, who had been struck down by Zuke, silently walked to the side and prepared to pick up the turtle shell from the ground and put it back on his back.
Although at first when Zuke handed him this turtle shell, he was very resistant to carrying it on his back, now he had completely accepted this thing.
It wasn't that he had developed any feelings for the turtle, but rather he discovered that carrying the turtle shell and doing chores according to the principles of "ki" that Zuke had mentioned .before could really improve his strength.
Over these past few weeks, he had sparred with Raditz many times. From being knocked down by Raditz with a single punch every time before, to now being able to withstand one of Raditz's punches head-on, the turtle shell training's effectiveness was undeniable.
Although Garou couldn't understand why carrying a turtle shell and doing chores could improve his strength more dramatically than his usual hard training... but since it was effective, he was willing to accept it.
"Don't rush to put on the turtle shell yet."
Seeing Garou go to pick up the turtle shell, Zuke spoke up to stop him, then seeing the puzzled look he cast over, explained to him.
"You should be able to feel the existence of 'ki' now, right?"
"'Ki'? Ah, you mean that theory you told me about before I put on the turtle shell, right?"
Garou was stunned for a moment, then quickly remembered what Zuke had said before.
To be honest, he hadn't paid much attention to that theory at the time—not because he looked down on the theory of "ki," but because the "ki" that Zuke described didn't sound like anything particularly special.
Energy that exists in everyone's body, gradually activated through training, gradually strengthened perception during training, and so on... it sounded no different from many martial arts concepts.
However, now thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have indeed unconsciously acted according to Zuke's theory about "ki" during training.
Now when Garou closed his eyes, he could indeed feel something like a strange power flowing within his body, and it was completely different from the "force" cultivated through the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.
Come to think of it, that should be the "ki" that Zuke mentioned.
"It seems you've already been able to control the 'ki' within your body."
Zuke watched Garou's expression change from confusion to sudden realization, and nodded with satisfaction.
Garou's successful perception of "ki" proved that the Turtle Hermit Style training method was effective—he had been a bit worried at first whether this seemingly childish training method would actually work.
Because Zuke had directly obtained the Turtle Hermit Style techniques through Shenron and had directly integrated them in battle, he still had some doubts about whether the training process could be effective.
But since Garou could succeed, it meant this training method was fine, and he could use it on other Saiyans later to help them learn to control "ki" as well.
At least that way they wouldn't be like the original Frieza's army, who once they lost their power scouters, would be like blind men, unable to even detect others' movements.
Since it was confirmed that Garou, as someone from another world, could improve his strength through the Turtle Hermit Style and perceive "ki," the next step could proceed.
He wanted to see if Garou could learn to use "ki" techniques.
"Come here. Since you previously knelt down and begged me to teach you how to become stronger, then let me try teaching you a technique."
Zuke waved at Garou, signaling him to follow.
Garou was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then his face showed an expression of wild joy.
Although he hadn't seen Zuke's full power, just thinking about that power level of over 300 million, he knew that Zuke's strength was probably something he could never catch up to in this lifetime.
If he could learn something from Zuke, then when he returned to his original world, wouldn't he be able to fulfill his long-cherished wish?
"Yes! Lord Zuke!"
This time without Raditz's reminder, Garou himself called out that title that had made him feel extremely humiliated before, then hurriedly followed along.
It seemed that after recognizing the gap in strength, Garou knew to put away his meaningless pride in front of Zuke.
Anyway, this was another world, and losing face here wouldn't be known by anyone when he returned—Garou thought self-destructively in his heart.
BOOM!
A massive energy cannon fired from Planet Saiyan, a torrent composed of "ki" shot straight up into the sky like a giant wave, completely annihilating some distant planets.
Such a terrifying scene naturally attracted the attention of many Saiyans on Planet Saiyan, but they weren't panicked because they knew very well who had fired that terrifying energy cannon.
"That's Lord Zuke, right?"
"Should be. It looks like the 'Kamehameha' that Lord Zuke mentioned before."
"Such incredible power. If it had been aimed at the ground, Planet Saiya would have been completely vaporized in an instant."
"After all, he's the one who defeated Frieza."
Garou naturally couldn't hear the discussions of the Saiyans—at this moment he was standing in front of Zuke, having just witnessed Zuke fire the Kamehameha into space.
"This is the Kamehameha. This will be the technique you need to master during this period."
Zuke lowered his hands and looked at Garou beside him, who could barely stand steady.
"With your current power level, if you could completely master this technique and fully release the 'ki' within your body, destroying the moon probably wouldn't be a problem."
Garou forced himself to remain upright, not letting himself fall due to that terrifying aura just now.
He clenched his fist hard and looked seriously at Zuke:
"I understand... Please teach me!"
Even after hearing that he could shatter the moon, Garou didn't feel the slightest bit of smugness.
After all, having just witnessed Zuke's terrifyingly powerful Kamehameha, with such an example before him, if he still dared to be smug, that would be purely a problem with his brain.
After teaching Garou the essentials of the Kamehameha, Zuke prepared to leave the Dragon Ball world.
Garou obviously didn't have Tien Shinhan's level of talent; he couldn't learn the Kamehameha usage almost self-taught just by watching a few times like Tien Shinhan did.
After all, Tien Shinhan was already very skilled in using "ki," so naturally learning the Kamehameha was very fast.
While Garou was just a newcomer who had just started touching "ki," so Zuke naturally wouldn't expect him to master the Kamehameha instantly like Tien Shinhan.
As long as he could master the Kamehameha within a few weeks, that would meet his expectations.
Perhaps when he next came to check on Garou, he would already have mastered the Kamehameha and possessed quite impressive strength.
Such strength, brought back to the One Punch Man world, would definitely be valued by the "God," right?
After all, even Tatsumaki's level of strength had already made the "God" personally extend an invitation. With Garou's level of strength, if the "God" still didn't think much of it, then he'd really have to question the "God's" judgment.
