Dragon Ball Romance

Chapter 194 The first round of the quarterfinals (three in one)

"Drink!"

King Qiaopa's attack like a tiger pounced on its prey, and hit Wang Chao—but he 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, could this be... Afterimage Fist!?"

Of course King Qiaopa was surprised!
In fact, Remnant Image Fist itself is a very advanced martial art move!It doesn't mean how subtle this move is, but that it requires a very solid martial arts foundation to learn and successfully use this move!Without the unimaginable instant start and stop control, as well as incredible speed, it is absolutely impossible to use this trick.

In the circle of ordinary martial artists, there was even a saying that "if you encounter an opponent who throws an afterimage punch, just admit defeat."

Even the "eight-hand boxing" that Qiaopa Wang himself is famous for is actually very similar to the afterimage boxing that the martial arts master Wutian was famous all over the world.It's just that King Qiaopa can't move the whole body at super high speed, and can't do the operations of explosive start, sudden stop, and explosive start, but can only complete the "eight-handed boxing" that can be said to be an incomplete version...

Sure enough, after seeing the afterimage fist used by Wang Chao, some knowledgeable masters in the audience also secretly marveled.

Suddenly, a hand patted King Jopa's shoulder from behind.

"hateful!"

King Qiaopa's scalp went numb, and he turned around and backed away, only to be shocked to find that Wang Chao, who did not know when he had circled behind him, actually used "eight-handed punches" against King Qiaopa!
No, it's not just eight hands... Two becomes four, four becomes eight, eight becomes sixteen... It's hard to count, Wang Chao used the principle of afterimage fist to hit the shadows of fists and palms overwhelming, and pressed towards King Qiaopa.

"Use my tricks to deal with me, stop looking down on people!"

Unable to bear the humiliation, King Qiaopa kicked away angrily, but still only a shadow of the kick was left.Wang Chao, who had used innumerable punches, was still the afterimage of an afterimage punch.

Hey, hey... King Qiaopa looked around the ring and found himself surrounded by more than a dozen afterimages of Wang Chao.These afterimages have different expressions, but they are so lifelike that they suddenly thought they were real people!In fact, the afterimage boxing and multiple afterimage boxing, in Wang Chao's view, are the same as shadow clones and multiple shadow clones. That's all.

Unfortunately, Wang Chao has this ability.

King Qiaopa finally realized the huge gap in strength between himself and Wang Chao. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Finally, Wang Chao appeared behind him without a sound, and slashed King Qiaopa on the back of the neck with a "dong".

Plop...King Qiaopa rolled his eyes and slumped on the ring.

The onlookers were in an uproar, and even the monk from Budao Temple who was the referee was dumbfounded.They didn't expect King Qiaopa to be easily knocked down by such a young man.

"You are strong," Wang Chao said to King Qiaopa, who was lying on the ring, numb and unable to move, "but you are not strong enough."

He wasn't trying to humiliate his opponent with sarcastic remarks.

It can be roughly estimated that the kung fu of this King Qiaopa is more than ten times that of ordinary people, and he is simply superhuman.

If it was Wang Chao who had just crossed over, that Wang Chao who was a scumbag would definitely not pay attention to King Qiaopa of this level. He must think that King Qiaopa with a combat power of about 50 is simply too weak, okay—— Even if the opponent can hang Wang Chao at that time with one hand.

Because the original Wang Chao always looked at things here from the perspective of before time travel, always acquiesced that he was a member of the protagonist group, and always felt that the power of Super Saiyan was worthy of his own attention.This is also the reason why he lingered at the beginning, his vision was always on an unreachable high place, and he couldn't see where his feet should go.

However, the current Wang Chao doesn't think so.

He is already a qualified martial artist, and he respects everyone with strength.King Qiaopa lost to him so easily, not because King Qiaopa was too weak, but because Wang Chao was relatively stronger, that's all.And that's all.

Sun Wufan once taught Wang Chao that practicing martial arts is not about defeating opponents, but about living a healthy life and not losing to oneself.

"Don't lose to yourself".

The meaning of this sentence absolutely does not mean that tomorrow’s self must be stronger than today’s self, but that tomorrow’s self must never feel ashamed when looking back on yesterday’s self.

Don't waste your time, don't do things that are ashamed of your heart.

Enjoy life, enjoy life.

This is the core idea of ​​Guixianliu.

Wang Chao has long realized 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.Kelin and Sun Wukong have been training under Guixianren's school for less than a year, and they have improved by leaps and bounds. It is precisely because the two of them, under the guidance of Guixianren, have fully integrated their physical and mental states into the rhythm of Guixianliu. .

Even Monkey King in the comics has never pursued becoming stronger in life.In addition to having to pursue stronger powers in order to defeat enemies full of evil, Sun Wukong has been committed to cultivating a new generation that can surpass himself as early as in the man-made human chapter.Perhaps for Sun Wukong, who was gradually entering middle age at that time, the junior can surpass himself, which is the most gratifying happiness in life, especially his son Sun Wuhan.In the Buu chapter, this approach was also continued to lead to the super three Gotenks who surpassed him, and another mysterious Gohan who surpassed him also had his own witness.

Simply chasing powerful power, at least in Guixianliu, is an absolutely inferior style.

Enjoy life, have no regrets in your heart, cultivate to your heart's content, play to your heart's content, rest to your heart's content, simple and leisurely, like a fairy, like an old tortoise... This is the true meaning of Guixian Liu Wuxue, which is achieved by Sun Wukong and others with incredible progress. A solid foundation that grows stronger.It's also Wang Chao's current belief that although he can't do it completely, he always uses it to motivate himself and demand his own creed.

This feeling seems to be very similar to the characteristic of the piercing eyes... always urging me to be an outstanding warrior, not a narrow and powerful warrior...

Wang Chao, who walked down the stage, was thinking endlessly, and he didn't notice the eyes of Qiaopa Wang who had a lot of resentment towards Wang Chao when he left after regaining his mobility.

Soon, it was his turn for the next round, and the next round... Basically, there was no suspense. Wang Chao easily won one of the two qualifying places in the second ring and successfully entered the quarterfinals.

He left the No. [-] arena, reckoning that the matches in other arenas should also be over.

Sure enough, Jake had been waiting in a place with few people, so bored that he was pulling his hair for fun... Oh, he has no hair.

Then Sun Wukong ran over joyfully, making a pair of scissorhands and giggling, "I got the quota!"

"Good job!" Wang Chao looked left and right, "How is the great monk and Delater? They are all good in strength, so it should be no problem to advance, right?"

However, in the end, only the fourteenth monk came over with a sad face.

"Please invite the eight contestants who have successfully advanced to come and draw lots~~"

At this time, the host in front of the final eight match announcement board shouted with a loudspeaker.

"Where's Delat?" Wang Chao went with everyone and asked the old monk of Duolin Temple on the way.Even if he didn't advance, it wouldn't mean that there was no one left.

The fourteenth monk said slowly: "He lost, his arm was broken by the opponent, and he has been sent to a nearby hospital for treatment."

Sun Wukong was surprised and said: "That uncle is very powerful, it seems that his opponent is stronger."

The fourteenth monk sighed: "He is indeed a very strong little benefactor! You are much stronger than Wang Chao, and you are far more ruthless than you..."

Soon, eight people gathered in front of the host of the lottery.The host began to introduce the competition system, and called the players one by one to draw lots.This host was the man in sunglasses and a suit that Wang Chao was most familiar with. It was the first time he saw a real person. Five years ago, Wang Chao hadn't qualified for the competition, so naturally he didn't have the chance to meet him.

"Okay, next one, dumpling, dumpling contestant..." The host checked the list repeatedly, thinking that the name was written wrong.

Wang Chao didn't pay much attention at first, but when he heard the name, his eyes suddenly froze!He turned his head and saw the person who stepped forward in response, it was a little man with a pale complexion, red cheeks, and straight eyes like a zombie!Sun Wukong groaned, and muttered: "What a strange person..." Jake said beside him, "It's that weird guy who was in the same ring as me, and I didn't expect to advance."

Dumplings... Wang Chao frowned and scanned the other top eight contestants, and soon found the boy with three eyes among the remaining three!
"Tianjin rice..." he muttered to himself, clenching his fists.

"Next, player Wang Chao."

Sunglasses host roll call.

Wang Chao took a deep breath and went to draw lots—No. 1.

The old monk next to the host filled in Wang Chao's name in one of the blanks in the first match.

When Wang Chao returned, he looked at Tianjin rice and dumplings expressionlessly.

As expected, Tianjin Fan was also staring at him, noticing Wang Chao's fists, even trembling a little while walking, he laughed and said, "Why, what did you think of? Are you still afraid?"

"..." Wang Chao's expression turned gloomy for a moment, but he quickly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and opened them quickly after closing them. It seemed that as long as he closed his eyes at this moment, some unbearable pain would appear before his eyes Memories, those broken limbs, those who died tragically before their eyes, or the cries of despair or resentment...Wang Chao walked back to the three of Monkey King, looked at his slightly trembling hands, and murmured in a voice that he could only hear clearly: " You actually call this...fear?"

Tianjin Fan regained his indifferent expression, turned his face away and ignored Wang Chao.

"The little brother with three eyes is the one who defeated Drat..." Monk Fourteen told Wang Chao.

Jiake seemed to be curious about Tianjin Fan's three eyes, and touched his forehead... Sun Wukong raised his head and asked, "Wang Chao, do you know them?"

"Yeah, there is a lot of fate..." Wang Chao controlled himself to calm down, and asked in a deep voice, "Monk, if I remember correctly, you and Dratt are because you think that if I worship Sun Wufan Those who are under the master's sect should not miss this martial arts meeting, so they came here to have a look at the same time—right?"

"Well, there's nothing wrong, what's wrong?" Monk Fourteen wondered.

Wang Chao, on the other hand, 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... two acquaintances who have been thinking about him for a long time are also with me. You guessed it together."

Soon, the draw for the quarterfinals ended.

The first game, Wang Chao vs Hungry Tiger General.A muscular tiger-headed man in a modified military uniform.

In the second round, Tianjin Fan vs Fourteenth Monk.

In the third game, Monkey King vs Jake.

In the fourth round, Dumpling vs Mr. Wolf, who did not want to be named.

The fourteenth monk said to Tianjin Fan: "You obviously don't need to break his arm."

"Hmph, boring." Tianjin Fan turned his head and left, Jiaozi followed him, raised his head and asked, "Tianjin, is that Wang Chao the one that Master Tao Baibai said must be killed?"

"..." 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! I hope you have a chance to survive. Although, this possibility is probably It's very slim..."

There was still some time before the quarter-final match where he would meet the audience in the open-air arena, and Monkey King's stomach began to growl.

"I heard that if the young Saiyans are very hungry, their strength will be greatly reduced." Jiake said to Monkey King with a smile, "I advise you to fill your stomach, but I won't give you water!"

"Hey, I don't want you to let the water go." Sun Wukong grinned, and ran to ask the monks at Martial Arts Temple to beg for food, "Jack, Wang Chao, grandpa, don't you need to eat?"

The Tianjin rice and dumplings were missing, while Wang Chao followed the monks and was taken to the cafeteria for meals.

The food provided by Budao Temple is naturally vegetarian, chow mein and soy products.Fortunately, Dragon Ball Earth is rich in ingredients, so it doesn't feel unpalatable.Especially the fourteenth monk, he is quite used to eating.Sun Wukong never refuses anyone, as long as his Saiyan Iron Stomach is not too bad, it will be considered delicious, and he has a rambunctious meal.

Jake didn't seem to want to admit defeat, and he was having a good time.The people on Earth are indeed good at food, and the chef in charge of the spoon in the canteen of Budao Temple is even more so.

Wang Chao kept frowning and didn't take a few bites.

…………

The first round of the quarter-finals was about to begin. Although the entrance to the open-air arena was wide, it was also packed with turbulent spectators, entering the arena one after another to prepare for the match.

In fact, it’s not that the No. [-] Budokai in the world is very popular, but that Papaya Island, where Budoji Temple is located, is itself a tourist attraction.Tourists who came and went heard that the No. [-] Martial Arts Association in the World was being held, and the tickets were not too expensive. It was said that it was held only once every five years.

Guixianren, Dr. Dasheng, Bulma and Taisi also entered the venue amidst the crowd.The two sisters held up the ice cream and licked it back and forth, feeling quite novel about the lively scene of the Budokai.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to come too, old pervert!"

Suddenly, a voice that sounded like a beating came from the crowd, and it seemed to be quite old.

Gui Xianren was too familiar with this mean voice, he turned his head, and the dark green figure of Crane Immortal was immediately reflected on the sunglasses.

"Why are you here?" Gui Xianren said in a deep voice, "I thought you were already dead."

The Crane Immortal twisted his mustache twice, and said with a sly smile: "How could I die before I pissed off you old bastard?"

"Don't worry, since you are not qualified to make me angry, my stomach is not comparable to yours." Guixian snorted angrily, "It's good for you to be old and not die, so as not to die in the underworld and give it to me again." Master, his old man has a problem with his anger. Oh, yes, I remembered, Master Wu Taidou is sure to enjoy the blessings in heaven, but you bastard, hehe, you are destined to go to hell!"

When it comes to targeted bickering, it is estimated that few people can compare to the pair of Guihe brothers who have been specialized in this field for hundreds of years.

Sure enough, Guixianren's taunting effect is outstanding!Crane Immortal's nose was so angry that he pointed at Gui Immortal and said angrily, "Old man! You, just wait! I'll have a good show for you later... Humph!" and go.

Gui Xianren didn't even bother to talk to this bastard junior brother, but actually he was a little concerned about what He Xianren said, thinking to himself: "What bad idea does this old bastard have?"

Dr. Dasheng looked on in confusion, Bulma and Taisi licked the ice cream in sync...Suddenly, Taisi paused, "Crane Immortal? If I remember correctly, it's too bad..."

But before he had time to think about it, he was pushed forward by the crowd.

Not long after, the crowd was full of voices and the scene became more and more noisy. The host dressed in sunglasses and a suit came to the ring and held a microphone to introduce the rules of the competition and the general information of the top eight contestants to the audience.

When the time was almost up, the host asked someone from Budao Temple, the organizer—oh, an old man with a pug head—to announce the official start of the 19th Tenkaichi Budokai competition.

The old pug dog held the microphone and pondered for a while. In the eyes of hundreds of spectators who were looking forward to it, he let out a "bark", and the lingering sound echoed in the venue through the amplification of the sound.

The audience is all overwhelmed.

The pug old monk returned the microphone to the host, came and left with a blank expression.

Crane Immortal in the front row of the auditorium twirled his mustache and smiled, "The monks at Martial Arts Temple are still the same old and stubborn, tsk tsk, it deserves the fact that the Martial Arts Association is run in such a shabby way today. Especially this little dog, whose temper has remained the same for so many years Stinky...Because you discriminate against animal people, why don't you just bark like a dog in front of so many people, hehe! I really appreciate you."

In the center of the arena, Wang Chao, Sun Wukong and others were walking over in the corridor aisle connected to the players' lounge behind the "Wu" memorial archway.

Wang Chao was the first match, while Monkey King and the Fourteenth Monk came to watch the battle.

"..." But Wang Chao always seemed to be worried, and he didn't say a word when he came here.

Sun Wukong ate until his belly bulged, and asked: "Wang Chao, are you okay? It's time for you to compete."

Wang Chao was awakened by the noise of the audience on the other side of the Wuzi Memorial Archway. He couldn't remember when he left the cafeteria with Monkey King and the others. This state is not right!Papa, he patted his cheek, nodded and said in a deep voice, "I see."

And his opponent, the burly Hungry Tiger General, came to his side, waiting for the host outside to announce his appearance.

"Are you scared, little man?" General Hungry Tiger sneered, but when he didn't get any response, he couldn't help but feel depressed and annoyed, and decided to give this little thing a little color later.

Wang Chao turned his head to look, but he didn't find Jia Ke, wondering, "Where did Jia Ke go?"

The fourteenth monk said helplessly: "I don't know what happened, Jia Ke suddenly had a stomachache while eating... Maybe his stomach is uncomfortable."

Are the aliens finally acclimated?Wang Chao was speechless, and he hadn't noticed it before, probably because there was something in the vegetarian food at Budao Temple that Jacques was not used to.

"I hope Jake's health will recover when it's our turn." Sun Wukong said, if the opponent's stomach upset makes him win, he won't have any moral obsession with invincibility, but he will feel It's a pity not to compete against an opponent who is in good condition.

"...Now, let us invite the No. 19 World No. [-] Martial Arts Association, the first round of the top eight contestants, General Hungry Tiger, and...Wang Chao, come on stage!"

The voice amplified by the host through the microphone was thunderous.

The audience applauded loudly, especially the thief Taisi, who kept clapping and shouting for the sake of saving face, which aroused the attention of Guixianren and Dr. Dasheng.

General Hungry Tiger squeezed his fist which was bigger than Wang Chao's head, and he made a loud bang and said with a grinning smile, "Boy, don't worry, I won't kill you because of the rules of the game."

"........."

Wang Chao ignored him, and after bypassing the Wuzi memorial archway, his eyes suddenly disappeared.

Crossing the open arena, I immediately saw hundreds of spectators crowded together, shouting loudly, cheering, applauding, and hustle and bustle, full of momentum.

At a glance, he saw the four Dr. Dasheng in front of the crowd, cheering him on as a group of relatives and friends.

Bulma was put on the fence and sat, licking the ice cream. Seeing Wang Chao's gaze sweeping over, she also raised her small fist as if cheering.

Taisi's shouting voice was drowned in the noisy voices, but following her gestures of pointing to another place, she seemed to be reminding him loudly of something!
Wang Chao looked over... and saw that standing in the front row at the place Taisi pointed to, it was the Immortal Crane who had been away for several years!
"Hey..." Immortal Crane apparently also noticed Wang Chao's gaze, and sneered through his sunglasses. "Sure enough, I'm here to participate in the Martial Arts Association! I didn't expect to make such great progress in the past few years."

Seeing that the two contestants were ready to compete, the host raised the microphone and said loudly: "Then, the first match—start now!"

"Hey..." The burly Hungry Tiger General continued to grin, suddenly he saw Wang Chao's expression change, and he looked to the other side suddenly, he said disdainfully: "You are a fool! This little trick thinks I—"

Bang!
Before he finished speaking, his head suddenly exploded like a watermelon!

The scarlet and milky white colors scattered in front of Wang Chao.Angry gold appeared in Wang Chao's eyes.

Almost at the same time, I saw a black shadow rushing into the arena from the direction of the auditorium. It turned out to be a tall figure jumping into the arena.The accident happened so suddenly that people couldn't tell who was ahead and who was behind.

The audience was dumb, and the noisy scene suddenly fell silent.

"Hmph..." Tao Baibai tossed her braids, kicked the twitching headless corpse to the opposite side, and stared at Wang Chao indifferently, "Because you died again, why don't you keep running away? Hehe..."

There was an uproar at the scene!Big riot!
