Superman’s Saiyan little brother

At this moment, Robert's thoughts were somewhat scattered. Initially, upon discovering that he had become a Saiyan, Robert's greatest desire was naturally to continuously enhance his combat power in order to transform into a Super Saiyan. This had been his dream ever since he crossed into the Dragon Ball world!

However, as Robert began to understand this world and explore his own potential, the urgency to become a Super Saiyan diminished because he saw a glimmer of hope in mastering the power of the Great Ape.

It's well-known that there's a huge gap between Super Saiyans, not to mention the differences between Super Saiyan levels one and two. Even Goku and Vegeta combined were no match for Broly at the same level, only managing to suppress him by fusing together.

The root cause of this disparity is Broly's overwhelming power before transformation.

Theoretically, the power increase from transforming into a Super Saiyan of the same realm is equal or close, making the base strength crucially important.

Goku's struggles in battles are often due to his base strength being too weak compared to his transformed state, placing a huge burden on his body. Robert didn't want this for himself, so improving his base strength became his new goal.

Like Broly, storing the power of the Great Ape in human form seemed like an appropriate path for Robert! Of course, Robert also aimed to unlock more of his body's potential. As long as his body was strong enough, not only would his power increase significantly after transformation, but his body's tolerance to the strain would also enhance...

Especially after witnessing the steel bodies of Clark and Kara, Robert wanted to compensate for his body's weaknesses without the boost of Qi, striving to become a true hexagonal warrior! After Kara left, Robert continued studying dragon spells and Qi, eventually developing a flame blast form of Qi, but that was all for now. Fully understanding Qi and developing various attribute attacks or abilities wasn't something achievable in the short term.

After completing his research on dragon spells, Robert had no intention of continuing with them, especially since a few shadow ninjas had been causing trouble for him these days.

It seemed the Saint wanted to deal with Robert as he did with Johnny, but clearly, the Saint knew of Robert's strength and hesitated to summon a large number of shadow ninjas. Regardless of their number, it made no difference to Robert; they were all easily defeated, so a few shadow ninjas were enough to slightly bother Robert...

In the Chinatown antique shop, the old man was leisurely napping behind the counter when suddenly, a sharp gleam crossed his eyes, and he looked towards the direction of the shop's entrance with a wary expression.

The old man sensed an extremely powerful aura approaching the shop! Soon, Robert appeared at the door of the antique shop in the guise of Kakarot, his gaze fixed on the old man, because Robert sensed that the old man's Qi was not weak, even far stronger than Jackie Chan!

"Someone's here? Welcome! What do you need, sir?" Jackie Chan didn't recognize Robert and greeted him upon hearing someone enter.

"It's me, Uncle Long." Robert reverted to his original appearance and handed the dragon spell to Jackie Chan with a smile, "I've finished researching the dragon spell, so I'm here to deliver it..."

"Robert? You are? How did you..." Jackie Chan scratched his head in hesitation, looking at Robert questioningly.

"Just a little trick of concealing my strength, nothing noteworthy!" Robert waved his hand, and as he was speaking, he saw the old man, with agility that belied his age, quickly move to Robert's side, his eyes under his glasses scrutinizing Robert.

"Tsks, tsks, tsks!" The old man examined Robert while clicking his tongue, his expression growing increasingly excited as if he had discovered a precious antique.

"Old man, what are you doing?" Jackie Chan tugged at the old man's clothes, awkwardly smiling at Robert, and explained in a low voice, "Sorry, I mentioned you to the old man before, he might be quite interested in you!"

"No problem..." Before Robert could finish speaking, the old man, visibly excited, interrupted him.

"Can you transform into others? Are you a mage?" The old man looked at Robert expectantly, "I heard from Jackie Chan about your battles; those were magic, right? It's just that Jackie Chan is too silly to understand..."

"Mage?" Robert was taken aback for a moment and then shook his head, honestly saying, "Sorry, I'm not a mage; I'm a warrior..."

"Warrior?!" The old man's voice shot up an octave as he stared at Robert, pacing back and forth and shaking his head, "What a waste! Truly a waste. With such powerful Qi, such pure Qi, and you, like Jackie Chan, are just a brute warrior? What's so good about being a warrior..."

Jackie Chan: ??? First of all, I didn't...

"How can you enhance your Qi without being a warrior? Do you rely solely on cultivation, or perhaps, just meditation?" Robert had just been studying the cultivation of Qi, and now, hearing the old man's words, his eyes lit up, eagerly asking for advice.

"Qi is a form of vital energy present in every living body, but Qi also embodies both righteousness and darkness..." The old man stopped pacing, looking seriously at Robert, "However, you're special. I don't know how you did it, but your Qi doesn't distinguish between righteousness and darkness; it's more like the most pure form, close to the natural state of the universe, the most primal Qi!"

"This is extremely rare and valuable, something many dream of. It means you can achieve many things with your Qi that others can't. You shouldn't use it just for destruction and fighting as Jackie Chan said; you need to unlock your potential!"

"I've been doing exactly that recently, but I haven't made much progress..." Robert scratched his head, pointing to the dragon spell in Jackie Chan's hand, "During this time, by studying the dragon spell, I've managed to develop a flame blast state for Qi, but aside from flame blasts and my original control over lightning power, I've failed to develop other states of Qi. It seems my understanding of Qi isn't sufficient or comprehensive enough."

"You've developed the power of the dragon spell? Show me!" The old man's eyes lit up, eagerly looking at Robert, "And that lightning power, show me that too..."

"Zzzzz!"

"Crack!"

Robert concentrated, forming a ball of electricity in his left hand that sparkled, and a ball of flame that seemed ready to explode in his right hand. This was the result of Robert's recent cultivation, allowing him to use the Majestic Fist much faster than before, though achieving sufficient power still required charging.

"Genius! You're truly a genius!" The old man danced excitedly upon seeing the thunder and flame in Robert's hands, "You're not a warrior; you're the most talented mage!"

"I'm a mage?" Robert murmured to himself, confused, while images of Goku, Vegeta, and their battles flashed through his mind. According to the old man's current statement, were they also considered mages?
