Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1639 The Importance of Mastering Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry

A deafening explosion rang out, a huge fireball and mushroom cloud rose, and the entire mountain range seemed to groan and tremble, as if it had experienced an apocalyptic catastrophe.

Sun Wukong looked back and saw the smoke rising near his home. His face immediately showed anxiety and anger.

"We can't keep fighting here!"

He cried out in his heart.

Raditz's power far exceeds expectations. If this entanglement continues, not only will the village be reduced to ashes, but the entire region may also suffer annihilation.

Without hesitation, Sun Wukong abruptly stopped, his body transforming into a golden streak of light, like an arrow tearing through the sky, speeding towards the desolate, uninhabited mountains in the distance.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Raditz snapped out of his momentary shock, a look of embarrassment and anger flashing across his face.

He mistakenly thought that Sun Wukong had exhausted his power and was choosing to flee, so he immediately unleashed his full power, his aura rising like a raging fire, and chased after him at a speed that was in no way inferior.

The two figures drew two dazzling trails in the sky, like two shooting stars racing.

The speed was so great that the air was torn apart, producing a piercing shriek, and the clouds were pushed aside by the air blast, creating vacuum channels.

Wherever they went, they left behind lingering energy afterimages, as if the sky itself had been torn apart by these two forces.

Sun Wukong abruptly stopped when he ventured deep into a barren, rocky mountain range, surrounded by jagged rocks and dried-up riverbeds, devoid of any signs of life.

He stood in mid-air, slowly turned around, and faced Raditz, who was chasing after him. His eyes were calm but sharp as knives.

"What? Have you finally realized that running away is futile?"

Raditz sneered, his aura surging once more, his energy churning like boiling magma, distorting the air around him into a blurry heatwave.

He hovered in mid-air, looking down at Sun Wukong on the ground, his eyes filled with contempt and cruelty.

"Let me show you the true power of a Saiyan!"

Sun Wukong did not answer.

In an instant, all his energy was concentrated into a single point, and all his thoughts and strength were focused on his right hand.

His right arm slowly retracted backward, palm facing upward, and a surge of azure energy began to rapidly condense.

But this is not the ordinary Kamehameha, nor is it a simple and brutal energy jet—it begins to rotate at high speed from the very beginning, emitting a piercing buzz and producing a strong spiral effect.

The airflow was frantically pulled into it, forming a visible vortex. At the center of the vortex, fine lightning even burst forth, crackling like a thousand birds singing.

This is not simply the release of energy, but a deeper understanding and mastery of the essence of "qi"—just as Luther taught him, qi is not only a kind of energy, but also a malleable substance between matter and energy. It can both follow the laws of physics and transcend them under the drive of will.

This time, what Sun Wukong did was combine the energy characteristics of "qi" with the spiral boosting effect.

Through high-speed rotation and extreme compression, he endowed this energy wave with unprecedented cohesion and penetrating power.

The rotation of energy triggered astonishing physical effects: the air was torn apart, light was distorted, and even gravel and dust on the ground were pulled up by this force, suspending themselves and forming a strange ring around the energy wave.

Ordinary ki blasts, such as the Kamehameha, involve releasing the ki accumulated in the body in an explosive manner. They are powerful and have a wide coverage area, but they are also prone to losing a lot of energy during the impact.

Sun Wukong's move, however, took a different approach. While seemingly borrowing Piccolo's spiral concept from the original work's "Special Beam Cannon," he went a step further. He not only rotated his ki, but also applied layers of centripetal pressure during the rotation, causing the energy to continuously accelerate, compress, and accelerate again during the launch process, like a super-fast rotating drill, concentrating all the destructive force into a single point.

This strike is the ultimate fusion of skill and power, a true testament to the wisdom of "martial arts".

Raditz's cold smile finally froze.

He clearly sensed the threat contained within that highly rotating mass of air—it was no longer the primitive and crude energy jet he had imagined, but a destructive energy body that had been meticulously constructed and highly controlled.

He could even hear the shrill sound of the surrounding air being torn apart and feel the slight tremors of space.

The numbers on the detector in his left eye started jumping wildly.

"Combat power... 812? And it's still rising? How is that possible!?"

Raditz was in turmoil.

He had fought for many years and witnessed countless ways of using energy. Vegeta's Garic Cannon was known for its ferocity, and Nappa's burst was characterized by overwhelming power, but there had never been a technique that could allow a person to increase their combat power to this level in such a short moment!
Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon also requires a long time to charge up, concentrating all his energy into one point, leaving the rest of his body almost defenseless, and the detector cannot even read accurately.

But Sun Wukong is completely different...

This move does not sacrifice the body's defense; it organizes "qi" in a more efficient and intelligent way!
The energy utilization rate is astonishingly high!

"Spiral wave!"

Sun Wukong let out a low shout, his eyes flashing like lightning, and forcefully launched the spiraling energy wave that roared like a drill.

The moment the energy wave left the hand, it created a clear spiral of energy. Wherever it passed, the atmosphere was violently torn apart, forming a vacuum trajectory. The ground then cracked, and a thick layer of it was scraped away by the dissipated energy aftershocks.

The light was blinding, and the roar was deafening, as if a giant azure dragon were spinning and pouncing on its prey.

Raditz could no longer hide the horror on his face.

The numbers on the detector eventually settled on a number that sent chills down his spine—

"1555!???"

He couldn't believe that Kakarot, whose basic combat power was only 416, could unleash a terrifying attack with a power of 1555!

This has completely overturned his understanding of energy utilization!
Even Vegeta's Garic Cannon couldn't possibly boost its energy output efficiency to such an absurd level!

This is why... it's so important to master math, physics, and chemistry.

Although Sun Wukong did not understand complex physics formulas, under Luther's guidance, he understood the relationship between "pressure," "rotation," "concentration," and "penetration."

He viewed "qi" as a special medium that possesses both mass and energy, increasing its stability and permeability through rotation and enhancing its energy density through compression.

This is not a victory of brute force, but a dimensional reduction attack of knowledge.

If Saiyans could study math and physics properly, their fighting power could increase several times over.

Raditz quickly unleashed his energy blast, but unfortunately, he didn't have any powerful moves.
