06, the first game of the quarterfinals (three-in-one)
"Drink!"
King Choopa struck Wang Chao like a tiger pounced, but his face was full of astonishment, because he didn't feel that he had touched the real thing.
He looked back at Wang Chao's scattered afterimage, and said in horror: "This, this is not ...... Afterimage Punch!? β
King Choppa was certainly surprised!
In fact, the Afterimage Fist itself is a very advanced martial arts move! It's not that this move is subtle, but that if you want to learn and successfully use this move, you need a very deep martial arts foundation! Without the unimaginable control of instant start and stop, and the incredible speed, this trick will never be used.
In the circle of ordinary level martial artists, there was even a saying that "if you encounter an opponent who uses the afterimage fist, admit defeat".
Even the "Eight Hand Fist" that King Choopa himself relied on to become famous is actually very similar in principle to the world-famous afterimage fist of the martial arts god Wu Tian. It's just that King Choppa can't move the whole person at super high speed, nor can he do the operation of bursting start, stopping suddenly, and starting again, but can only complete what can be said to be a broken version of the "Eight Hand Fist......
Sure enough, after seeing the afterimage fist used by Wang Chao, some knowledgeable masters in the audience also secretly marveled.
Suddenly, a hand slapped King Choppa on the shoulder.
"Damn!"
King Choopa's scalp was numb, and he turned around and retreated, but he was shocked to find that Wang Chao, who had come around behind him at some point, actually used a "eight-hand fist" against King Choopa!
No, it's not just eight hands...... Two to four, four to eight, eight to sixteen...... It was difficult to count, Wang Chao used the principle of afterimage fist to hit the shadow of the overwhelming fist palm, and pressed towards King Choopa.
"Use my tricks against me, and look down on people less!"
King Choppa was humiliated and kicked in annoyance, but still only a remnant of the kick. Wang Chao, who used the uncountable fist, is still an afterimage of an afterimage fist.
Whoa, whoa...... King Choppa looked around the ring and found himself unconsciously surrounded by more than a dozen remnants of Wang Chao. These afterimages have different expressions, but they are lifelike, and I thought they were real people when I looked at them coldly! In fact, the afterimage fist and the multiple afterimage fist, in Wang Chao's opinion, the shadow clone and the multiple shadow clone are the same reason, and the only difficulty is whether the user can draw inferences from one another, and have enough physical strength and continuous explosiveness to support this move.
Unfortunately, Wang Chao has this strength.
King Choppa finally noticed the huge gap in strength between himself and Wang Chao, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and finally Wang Chao appeared behind him silently, and slashed at the back of King Choopa's neck with a "bang".
Thump...... King Choppa rolled his eyes and fell into the ring.
The onlookers were in an uproar, and even the monks of the Martial Arts Temple, who were the referees, were dumbfounded. They didn't expect King Choppa to be easily knocked down by such a young man.
"You're strong," Wang Chao said to King Choppa, who was lying in the ring and couldn't move, "but not strong enough." β
He's not trying to humiliate his opponent by saying cool things.
It can be roughly estimated that the kung fu of this King Chopa is more than ten times that of ordinary people, and he is simply superhuman.
If it was Wang Chao who had just crossed over, Wang Chao, who was fighting ten scumbags, would definitely not take this level of King Choopa in his eyes, and he would definitely feel that King Choopa with a combat strength of about 50 was simply weak, okay - even if the other party could beat Wang Chao at that time with one hand. Because the original Wang Chao always looked at things here from the perspective of before the time travel, he would always default to being a member of the protagonist group, and always felt that the power of the Super Saiyan was worth facing up.
However, the current Wang Chao doesn't think so.
He is already a qualified martial artist, and he respects everyone who has power. King Choopa lost to him so simply, not because King Choppa was too weak, but because Wang Chao was relatively stronger, and that's it.
Sun Gohan once taught Wang Chao that practicing martial arts is not to defeat opponents, but to live a healthy life and not lose to oneself.
"Don't lose to yourself".
The meaning of this sentence is definitely not to point out that the heavenly self must have greater power than today's self, but to ask the tomorrow's self to never feel ashamed when looking back on yesterday's self.
Don't waste your time, don't do things that are worthy of your heart.
Enjoy life, enjoy life.
This is the core idea of the Guixian Stream.
Wang Chao has long understood that the core power of the Dragon Ball world, "Qi", is closely related to the soul of the warrior. Especially the masters of the Earth faction. Kling and Sun Wukong have only been exercising under the Turtle Immortal for less than a year, and they have improved by leaps and bounds, precisely because the two of them are under the guidance of the Turtle Immortal, and their physical and mental states are completely integrated into the rhythm of the Turtle Immortal Stream.
Even the Monkey King in the comics has never pursued becoming stronger in life. In addition to having to pursue stronger power in order to defeat the enemies full of evil, Sun Wukong has been committed to cultivating a new generation that can surpass himself as early as the android chapter. Probably for Sun Wukong, who was gradually entering middle age at that time, the junior being able to surpass himself was the more gratifying happiness in life, especially his son Sun Gohan. In the Buu chapter, this practice is also continued, leading to the super-three Gotenks who surpass him, and another mysterious Gohan who surpasses him also has his own witnesses.
Simply chasing a powerful force, at least in the Guixian Stream, here is an absolutely inferior style.
Enjoy life, be worthy of your heart, practice to your heart's content, have fun, rest to your heart's content, simple, leisurely, like an immortal, like an old turtle...... This is the true meaning of Guixian Liu's martial arts, and it is the solid foundation for Sun Wukong and others to become stronger with incredible progress. It is also Wang Chao's creed that although he can't fully do it at present, he always uses it to spur himself and demand his own creed.
This feeling also seems to be very similar to the characteristics of fiery eyes...... Always urge me to be an excellent martial artist, not a narrow and powerful martial artist......
Wang Chao, who walked to the stage, thought ramblingly, and didn't notice the eyes of King Qiaopa, who had a lot of resentment towards Wang Chao when he left, after regaining his mobility.
Soon, it was his turn to play the next game, and then the next one...... Basically, there was no suspense, and Wang Chao easily got one of the two qualifying places in the No. 2 ring and successfully entered the quarterfinals.
He left the second ring arena and estimated that the other ring fights should be over as well.
Sure enough, Gack had been waiting in a less crowded place for a long time, so bored that he was already pulling his hair and playing...... Oh, and he has no hair.
Then Sun Wukong ran over happily and giggled with a scissorhands, "I got the quota!" β
"Well done!" Wang Chao looked left and right, "How is the Great Monk and Drat, their strength is good, it should be no problem to advance, right?" β
However, in the end, he only waited until the fourteen monks came over with a sad face.
"Please come and draw lots for the eight players who have successfully qualified~~"
At this time, the host in front of the whiteboard of the quarterfinals table shouted with a megaphone.
"Where's Drat?" Wang Chao went over with everyone and asked the old monk of Dolin Temple on the way. Even if you don't make the cut, you won't be gone.
The fourteenth monk said slowly: "He was defeated, his arm was broken by his opponent, and he has been sent to a nearby hospital for treatment." β
Sun Wukong was surprised: "That uncle is very powerful, it seems that his opponent is stronger." β
The fourteenth monk sighed: "It is indeed a very strong little benefactor! It's much stronger than Wang Chao at the beginning, and the shot is far more ruthless than you were at the beginning......"
Soon, eight people gathered in front of the host of the draw. The host began to introduce the competition system, and called the contestants in turn to draw lots. This host is the man in the sunglasses suit that Wang Chao is most familiar with, and it is the first time he has seen a real person, Wang Chao did not qualify five years ago, so naturally he did not have the opportunity to see him.
"Okay, next, dumplings, dumpling contestants, ......" The host looked at the list repeatedly, and thought that the name was written wrong.
Wang Chao didn't care too much about it, but when he heard this name, his eyes suddenly froze! He turned his head and saw that the person who stepped forward in response to the sound was a small man with a pale face, red cheeks, and eyes like zombies! Sun Wukong sighed and muttered: "What a strange person...... Gack said beside him: "It's the weirdo who is in the same ring as me, I didn't expect to be promoted." β
Dumplings...... Wang Chao frowned and glanced at the other top eight players for a while, and soon found a three-eyed teenager among the remaining three!
"Tianjin rice ......" he muttered to himself, his fists clenched.
"Next, Wang Chao."
Sunglasses host roll call.
Wang Chao took a deep breath and went over to draw lots - No. 1.
The old monk next to the host filled in Wang Chao's name on one of the spaces in the first game.
When Wang Chao went back, he looked at Tianjin rice and dumplings with an expressionless face.
And Tianjin Fan was really staring at him, noticing that Wang Chao's fists were trembling slightly when he was walking, so he sneered: "What, what did you think of?" Are you still afraid? β
"............" Wang Chao's expression turned cold for a moment, but he quickly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and opened his eyes quickly as soon as he closed them, as if as long as he closed his eyes at this moment, some unbearable painful memories would continue to appear in front of him, those who had severed limbs and wreckage, and those who died tragically in front of him, or cries of despair or resentment...... Wang Chao walked back to Sun Wukong's three people, looked at his slightly trembling hands, and muttered in a voice that could only be heard by himself: "You actually call this ...... Afraid? β
Tianjin Fan returned to a cold expression, turned his face and ignored Wang Chao.
"That little brother with three eyes is the one who defeated Drat...... Fourteenth Monk told Wang Chao.
Gack seemed to be curious about Tianjin's three eyes, and touched his forehead...... Sun Wukong raised his head and asked, "Wang Chao, do you know them?" β
"Yes, fate is not shallow......" Wang Chao controlled himself to calm down, and asked in a deep voice, "Great monk, if I remember correctly, you and Dratt thought that if I were to worship under Master Sun Gohan, I should not miss this martial arts meeting, so we came over to take a lookβright?" β
"Well, that's right, what's wrong?" The fourteenth monk was puzzled.
Wang Chao looked coldly at Tianjin rice and dumplings, who were neither surprised nor particularly concerned about Wang Chao's appearance, and said slowly: "It's nothing, but I'm afraid...... There are two acquaintances who have been thinking about it for a long time, and I guessed it with you. β
Soon, the draw for the quarterfinals ended.
In the first game, Wang Chao vs General Hungry Tiger. A muscular tiger man in a magic uniform.
In the second game, Tianjin rice vs fourteen monks.
In the third game, Monkey King vs Gack.
In the fourth game, Dumpling vs Mr. Wolf, who did not want to be named.
The fourteenth monk said to Tianjin Fan: "There is no need for you to break his arm. β
"Hmph, boring." Tianjin Fan turned his head and left, Dumpling followed him, looked up and asked: "Tianjin, that Wang Chao, is that Uncle Taobai Bai said that he must be killed?" β
"............" Tianjin Fan didn't seem to hear it, and didn't answer, but said to himself, "I didn't expect you to become so strong!" Hope you have a chance to survive. Although, this possibility is probably very slim......"
There was still some time before the quarterfinals match to meet the audience in the big ring in the open air outside, and Sun Wukong's stomach began to growl.
"I heard that if a young Saiyan is hungry, his strength will be greatly reduced." Gack smiled and said to Sun Wukong, "I advise you to fill your stomach, I won't give you water!" β
"Hey, I don't want you to release the water." Sun Wukong grinned and ran to ask the monks of the Wudao Temple to beg for food, "Gake, Wang Chao, old man, don't you have to eat?" β
Tianjin rice and dumplings were nowhere to be found, and Wang Chao followed the monks and was led to the canteen for dinner.
Naturally, the offerings at the temple are vegetarian food, fried noodles and soy products. Fortunately, Dragon Ball Earth is rich in ingredients, and it doesn't feel unpalatable. Especially the fourteen monks, they are quite accustomed to eating. Sun Wukong did not refuse to come, and as long as the iron stomach of his Saiyan was not too unpalatable, it was all considered delicious, and there was a lot of turmoil.
Gack didn't seem to want to throw in the towel and ate a lot. The earthlings do have a hand in food, and the master in charge of the canteen of the Martial Arts Temple has two strokes.
Wang Chao kept his brows locked and didn't take a few bites.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The first match of the quarterfinals is about to start, and although the entrance passage of the open-air arena is wide, it is also crowded with surging spectators, who are ready to watch the game one after another.
In fact, it is not that the world's first martial arts club is popular, but that Papaya Island, where the martial arts temple is located, is an island itself that is a tourist attraction. Tourists who come and go, hear that there is the world's first martial arts will be held, the ticket is not expensive, it is said that it is only held once in five years, in line with the idea of not coming in vain, they all come together to have a fun.
Turtle Immortals, Dr. Daimori, Bulma, and Tays also entered the crowd, and Bulma and Tays all held up an ice cream and licked it around, which was quite a novelty.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to come too, old pervert!"
Suddenly, a voice from the crowd came over that sounded very bad, and it seemed to be quite old.
The turtle immortal was too familiar with this cheap voice, he turned his head, and the dark green figure of the crane immortal was immediately reflected on his sunglasses.
"Why are you here?" The turtle immortal said in a deep voice, "I thought you were dead a long time ago." β
The crane immortal twisted his mustache twice, and said with a wicked smile: "How could I die before I am angry with you old thing?" β
"Don't worry, you are not qualified to make me angry, my belly is not comparable to you." The turtle immortal snorted angrily, "It's good that you guy is old and doesn't die, so you don't have to die to Huangquan and then give the master a problem with his old man's anger." Oh, by the way, I remembered, Master Wu Taidou must be blessed in Heaven, but you bastard, hehe, you are destined to go to hell! β
When it comes to targeted bickering, it is estimated that few people can compare to this pair of turtle and crane brothers who have been specializing in this for hundreds of years.
Sure enough, the taunt effect of the turtle immortals is outstanding! The crane immortal's nose was crooked, and he pointed at the turtle immortal and snorted angrily: "Old thing! You, you just wait! I'll see your show later...... Hum! "I didn't bother to look at the others, and walked away.
The Turtle Immortal was even more lazy to deal with this bastard junior brother, but in fact, he was a little concerned about what the Crane Immortal said, and thought to himself, "What bad idea does this old thing want to fight?" β
Dr. Daisheng watched as Bulma and Tais licked the ice cream in sync...... Suddenly, Tays paused, "Crane Immortals? If I'm not mistaken, it's terrible......"
But I didn't have time to think about it, and I was pushed forward by the crowd.
Not long after, the crowd was full of voices, the scene became more and more noisy, and the host dressed in sunglasses and suit walked to the ring, holding the microphone to introduce the rules of the game to the audience, as well as the general information of the top eight players.
When the time was almost up, the host asked the organizer Budoji side - oh, an old man with a pug head - to announce the official start of the 19th World No. 1 Martial Arts Conference.
The pug old man held the microphone and muttered for a long time, and in the anticipatory eyes of hundreds of audiences, he let out a "Wang" sound, and the aftermath was lingering, echoing in the venue through the sound amplification.
The audience was overwhelmed.
The pug monk returned the microphone to the host, came expressionlessly, and walked away expressionlessly.
The crane immortal in the front row of the audience twisted his mustache and said with a smile: "The monks of the martial arts temple are still the same old and stubborn, tsk, the martial arts will be as shabby as it is today." Especially this puppy, after so many years, his temper still stinks...... Because there is discrimination against animal people, why don't you just learn to bark in front of so many people, hum! I really admire you. β
In the center of the ring, in the corridor and the players' lounge connected behind the "Wu" archway, Wang Chao and Sun Wukong and others are walking over.
Wang Chao was the first game, and Sun Wukong and the Fourteen Monks came to watch the battle.
"............" But Wang Chao always has something on his mind, and he didn't say a word when he came here.
Sun Wukong ate with a round belly and asked, "Wang Chao, are you okay?" It's your turn to race. β
Wang Chao was awakened by the noise of the audience on the other side of the Wuzi archway, when he followed Sun Wukong and them out of the canteen, he couldn't remember, this state is not right! Bang, he slapped his cheek, nodded and said in a deep voice, "I know." β
And his opponent, the burly Hungry Tiger General, followed him to his side, waiting for the host outside to report the scene.
"Are you scared, little man?" The Hungry Tiger General sneered, but when he found that he didn't get any response, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed and annoyed, and decided to give the little thing a little color later.
Wang Chao turned his head to look, but didn't find Gack's figure, and wondered, "Where did Gack go?" β
The fourteenth monk said helplessly: "I don't know what's going on, Gack suddenly had a stomach upset while eating...... Maybe it's upset. β
Are the aliens finally unsuitable? Wang Chao felt speechless, and he hadn't found it before, probably because there was something in the vegetarian diet of the Martial Arts Temple that Gake couldn't get used to.
"Hopefully, when it's our turn to play, Gack's body will get better." Sun Wukong said that if the opponent has an upset stomach and lets him win, he will not have any moral cleanliness that cannot win, but he will feel that it is a pity not to compete with an opponent who is in good condition.
ββ¦β¦ Now, let's have the 19th World No. 1 Martial Arts Association, the two players in the first round of the quarterfinals, the Hungry Tiger General players, and ...... Wang Chao player, debut! β
The moderator's voice amplified through the microphone was thunderous.
The audience cheered loudly, especially the Tays thief who gave face, clapping and shouting incessantly, which provoked the Turtle Immortal and Dr. Daimori to look sideways.
General Hungry Tiger squeezed his fist bigger than Wang Chao's head, squeezed it properly, and said with a cruel smile: "Boy, don't worry, I won't kill you because of the rules of the game." β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Wang Chao ignored him, and after bypassing the martial arts archway, his eyes were empty.
Crossing the open ring, I suddenly saw hundreds of spectators hustling together, shouting loudly, cheering, cheering, and noisy, and the momentum was very strong.
At a glance, he saw the four Dr. Daimori in front of the crowd, cheering him on as a group of relatives and friends.
Bulma was put on the fence and sat down, licking the ice cream, and when she saw Wang Chao's gaze sweeping over, she also raised her little fist to cheer.
Tays's shouts were drowned out by the cacophony of human voices, but following her constant gestures to the other place, it seemed to remind him loudly of something!
Wang Chao looked over...... I saw the place pointed out by Tays standing in the front row, and it was the crane immortal who had been absent for a few years!
"Hehe......" The crane immortal obviously also noticed Wang Chao's gaze, and sneered through his sunglasses. Sure enough, I'm here for the Martial Arts Meeting! I didn't expect that after a few years, there would be such a big growth. β
Seeing that the two players were ready to compete, the host held up the microphone and said loudly: "So, the first game - start now!" β
"Hehe...... " The burly hungry tiger general continued to laugh, and suddenly he saw Wang Chao's expression change, and looked at the other side sharply, he said disdainfully: "It's stupid!" This little trick thinks I-"
Boom!
Before he finished speaking, his head suddenly exploded like a watermelon!
The scarlet and milky white colors stirred up in front of Wang Chao. Wang Chao's eyes flashed with anger.
Almost at the same time, I saw a black shadow quickly penetrate into the ring from the direction of the audience, and it turned out to be a tall figure jumping into the arena. The change happened so suddenly, it was impossible to tell who forced into the ring and burst open the head of Wang Chao's opponent.
The audience was dumbfounded, and the noisy scene suddenly fell silent.
"Hmph......" Tao Baibai flicked his braids, kicked the convulsive headless corpse to the opposite side, and stared at Wang Chao indifferently, "And because you died, continue to escape?" Hey hey ......"
The scene was in an uproar! Great riots!
