Chapter 819: Breaking the Barriers of Knowledge and Understanding and Grouping (7k2 Merry Christmas)
"Awesome~ So many people!"
The venue of the world's number one martial arts tournament.
The nine-year-old Gohan stood on the ring, looking around a little stiffly. The 30-row venue, which can accommodate more than 30,000 spectators in the east, south and north directions, was almost full of people. The enthusiastic applause and cheers went straight to the sky, and the big screen on the west side broadcast the scene on the ring without dead angles, and broadcast it to countless fighting enthusiasts.
It was his first time experiencing such an occasion, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
At this time, he heard a burst of shouting in the noise: "Gohan! Gohan! Come on!"
Turning his eyes to a VIP audience seat isolated on the east side of the venue, he saw his mother holding her hands to her mouth like a trumpet, shouting at the top of her lungs, and Aunt Bulma beside her mother was waving to encourage herself.
Over in the contestant preparation area, Dad and Ji Yu are also looking at me.
Gohan clenched his fists slightly, calmed down, and returned his eyes to the ring.
The other four contestants who were going to compete with him and would be the only top 16 had already taken their positions in the other four directions. They were all strong male martial artists. It was not known whether they had not seen him score 384 points of strength in the boxing machine test, or whether they thought it was just a malfunction of the instrument. In any case, they did not pay much attention to this child who was like a lamb in a tiger's mouth.
At this time, three of them were staring at the fourth person with serious expressions, and the fourth person with a big afro and a big beard was...playing monkey tricks?
Satan was performing his signature performance, turning in circles to show his body to the audience, and occasionally bending his waist flexibly to show his good fighting skills.
The audience just fell for his tricks, and most of the cheers were directed at him, and the broadcast screen also gave a close-up.
The host warmed up the audience at the right time: "Old audiences know that the multiplayer preliminaries of each Tianxia No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament are the most upset games, and many martial artists with good strength have been defeated accidentally because of being besieged by other players.
Many audiences are always confused as to why the organizers want to keep such an unfair competition system. The organizers explained that the Tianxia No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament is a competition to select the world's number one. Since you are the world's number one, you must have the ability to fight one against many. On the other hand, luck is often part of strength!
We saw that in the first multiplayer preliminaries that just ended, the fourth player of the last martial arts tournament, Lei Lian, unfortunately fell off the ring because of the siege and was eliminated. So in this second game, how will the runner-up Satan of the last session perform?!"
"Oh?! We can see that Satan confidently made his winning gesture!"
"Satan! Satan!"
As Satan raised his right hand and made a "yes" gesture to the surroundings of the venue, the audience burst into laughter.
Little Videl also stood up from her seat, waving her hands to cheer for her father, but her eyes occasionally passed over little Gohan's face with great concern, but Gohan always had a "silly goose" expression.
Scared by his father? Or what?
"This guy is so ugly!" Maren, who was the only VIP seat, frowned.
For the first time, Bulma felt that Krillin's girlfriend spoke quite pleasantly, and Chi-Chi followed and shouted: "Don't pat him! Pat my Gohan!"
'The audience is so enthusiastic, it seems that I can't lose this game. ' At this moment, Satan, who was full of confidence and smile, murmured in his heart: 'First, I will deal with the other three guys neatly, and then play with the child next to Mr. Sulfur Star for a while, and gently knock him off the ring. Even if people see that I am performing, everyone will only understand that I am taking care of the child and cheer for me! ’
Putting down his raised right hand, he laughed and said, “You three, be direct. If you want to attack me, come quickly!”
The other three contestants were angry, and the host announced at the right time: “Then… the second round of the multiplayer battle starts now!”
“Don’t underestimate me! Satan!”
At the same moment when the host’s voice fell, the three martial artists who had been unable to hold back rushed towards Satan from three directions in tacit understanding, and a short and strong middle-aged man punched him in the face.
With a self-righteous handsome look on his face, Satan dodged the punch with a light body to the side, and hit the abdomen of another contestant with a sharp whip kick.
The contestant stopped immediately and knelt down holding his lower abdomen in pain. Satan’s body withdrew again, and a powerful fist hit the face of another contestant, causing the other two contestants to collide with each other and become rolling gourds.
Bang bang bang bang!
Then the sound of hitting continued, and Satan's movements were crisp and neat. In just half a minute, the three people either lost their fighting ability or were kicked off the ring by him!
"Hahahaha..." After doing this, Satan panted a little and made his signature victory gesture to all directions again.
The audience seats that had just been silent for a short time because of the dazzling battle exploded again!
"Satan! Satan!"
Mixed with the host's passionate broadcast, the atmosphere on the scene reached its peak, and little Bidi Li smiled happily and jumped continuously.
"Ah, this guy is quite capable." Goku said in surprise in the preparation area.
"A bunch of trash!" Vegeta was very unhappy: "I don't know what Gohan is dawdling about! Why not solve it as soon as possible?!"
"Don't say that, Vegeta, I told Gohan to observe the opponent's strength first, be cautious, and don't hurt him."
Gohan on the ring did listen to Goku. He had been trying to observe. His expression was a little serious.
‘It’s really weak. It must not be like the boxing machine before. It will really hurt people. ’
On the other side, Satan, who received cheers from the audience for a while, finally looked at Gohan and laughed: “Don’t be nervous, kid, we are the only ones left. Attack with all your strength!”
The tone was obviously ‘playing with you’, and the audience was moved. He was so gentle!
“This kid is so unlucky. He happened to meet the powerful Mr. Satan.”
“No, that’s lucky. It’s easier to get hurt when you meet other people at this age.”
“Ah, that’s right…”
“Why did I hear from my friends who participated in the competition that in the boxing machine test, a child scored a full 384 points? It must be him.”
“What? Impossible, impossible!”
On the ring, Satan looked at Gohan who was still motionless and sighed in his heart. Was he scared? Really, you are so young to participate in the world's best martial arts competition. If you were Master Ji Yu, I would have an easier time.
And 384 punching power, ah.
That's all I can do.
"Ah——" The next moment, he roared exaggeratedly, and rushed towards Gohan in a seemingly aggressive but actually very clumsy way.
He waved his fist as big as a sandbag, as if he was fighting with the enemy, but in fact, the fist was swung very slowly, and it hit Gohan's cheek like a slow motion, and then it stayed there.
One second, two seconds.
As if the pause button was pressed, Satan, who had performed a play by himself, looked embarrassed and whispered: "Little friend, why don't you hide in this situation? Then uncle can only carry you down."
"You didn't hit me, why should I hide?" Gohan's big eyes were clear and confused, "I'm going to attack."
"...Ah?"
Bang!
With a slight muffled sound, Satan's two eyeballs almost flew out!
The pain in his abdomen was like being hit by a truck, clearing the air from his lungs in an instant.
This time it was like slow motion. Satan slowly covered his abdomen and slowly knelt down at Gohan's feet, with his butt raised high and still for more than ten seconds.
He began to roll all over the ground!
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts--"
The scene was silent for a moment, and the audience looked at the scene on the ring in disbelief. Videl's little face was also full of worry and confusion, and Chi-Chi's shout became particularly harsh: "Well done! Gohan! Knock him off the ring!"
"Oh, good."
Gohan was very obedient and wanted to pick up Satan and throw him off the ring, but at this time, Satan, who was rolling, suddenly stopped, stood up with a leap, and laughed out loud with a weak breath.
"Very powerful fists, kid! Good job, let's continue!"
It turned out to be a performance... The audience suddenly realized and laughed. Mr. Satan is really good at joking, and he acted really well!
Only the host, who pretended not to know and reported all the superficial situations, noticed the sweat on Satan's forehead. Bidili also felt that something was wrong with her father... It seemed that his legs were shaking? !
Satan was really panicking.
'What's going on? What's going on? Is there a rocket tied under the sleeve of this kid? ! No, this must be just an accident. I was careless and got hit in the vitals. Next, I have to be a little...'
Bang--
Before he finished thinking, the little Gohan who didn't understand the "worldly ways" came to Satan like a teleportation and kicked Satan in the side.
Satan's eyeballs flew out of his eye sockets again, and he felt that his old waist was broken. His body turned into a meteor, flew out of the ring, and hit the side wall of the fighting arena!
A human-shaped hole was knocked out of the wall. Satan, with stars spinning in his eyes, fell to the ground and lost consciousness for a short time.
Gohan on the ring panicked: "Oh no! Because he seems to be more durable, this kick still didn't hold back... I hope he's okay!"
And the venue was dead silent again.
The laughter just now was like a short reconnection after a disconnection. This time, Gohan completely unplugged the network cable. As the host announced the victory and defeat, Videl suddenly exclaimed: "Dad?!"
The audience also began to look around like a god.
In the preparation area, Vegeta said: "It's obviously a matter that can be solved in an instant, but it has to be delayed for so long, wasting everyone's time."
"Stinky Gita, don't always look down on people." Ji Yu said: "I feel that Satan is only one step away from mastering the energy, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand up after being hit by Gohan. If he had also practiced with Grandpa Kame since he was a child, he might be more powerful than Uncle Krillin now!"
"Hmph——" Vegeta snorted in response to this kid who always got on bad terms with him.
"Really? Ji Yu, why do you use me as an example?" Krillin said helplessly.
Ji Yu chuckled and said, "Because apart from me and my dad, Uncle Krillin is the strongest person on Earth in my heart."
Krillin was so happy that he was stunned again: "Wait, you little brat think you are better than me?"
He looked at Ji Xing for confirmation, but Ji Xing just smiled and said to Vegeta: "Ji Yu is right, Satan is indeed a genius. There is another thing, I taught you when you were a child, don't be impatient or excessive in practice, and keep a stable mentality. If you keep doing this, Goku will definitely become a 'Grandmaster' faster than you, catch up with and surpass you."
Vegeta's face darkened and he looked at Ji Xing. After all, he didn't reply. He could still listen to the teachings of 'Teacher Ji Xing'.
"A proper daily life is a necessary adjustment in the boring practice battles." Ji Xing continued: "Wouldn't it be better to adjust the state before the battle between us? Besides, I have a hunch that martial arts will be too peaceful this time. "
Everyone was stunned: "Aren't you calm?"
"Wukong, I never asked you how you remembered to invite everyone to the martial arts meeting?"
Wukong briefly recalled: "It must be Qiqi. An unprofessional guy sent a lot of martial arts flyers before and asked me to help her tie them up and sell them as waste paper... Well, it just so happens that I want to challenge Ji Xing. , so I invite everyone here.”
Ji Xing nodded and turned towards the exit.
"Maybe someone wants us to come, or at least Goku, to come and participate in the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament again. Just wait and see, it will be my turn to compete next."
With confusion, everyone watched Ji Xing's back disappear into the contestant tunnel.
…
When Ji Xing entered the ring, the audience's emotions had obviously not recovered from the scene where Gohan was knocked away and Satan was knocked unconscious.
what is going on? If it was a performance, this would be too much, and what about the broken wall?
But if it weren't for the performance...
"Everyone must have already known the news that Mr. Su Xing from Big Dog Company has signed up to participate in this martial arts competition." At this time, the host's loud announcement echoed in the venue again, forcing the audience to recover from their stunned state. Come to your senses and fulfill your obligations as a host.
"Now we see that Mr. Sulfur Star has already stood on the ring! By the way, Mr. Sulfur Star's martial arts name is 'Ji Xing', but maybe in the post-game interview, we will know what this name means to him. What meaning.
On the other side, among the players participating in the pre-selection of this third multi-player battle, there is also the previous champion Yona! At this time when players Lelian and Satan were unfortunately eliminated one after another, I wonder if player Yona can defend his honor. What kind of wonderful performance will Mr. Sulfur Star and the other three players perform? ! "
The audience's emotions were successfully removed from the previous game and they focused on the game in front of them.
"Is that Mr. Sulfur Star?"
"What a bad luck. The organizer didn't make special arrangements for him to meet contestant Yona?"
"Sh-Maybe it's already been arranged..."
"Why did I hear from my friends who participated in the competition that Mr. Sulfur Star also scored a good score of 177 points during the boxing machine test?"
"Why is it you again?! You said before that the kid in the last game beat 384!"
"Then the kid doesn't act like that?!"
"……Huh?"
Amidst the commotion, Yona on the ring looked at Ji Xing, a ray of haze flashed in his eyes.
He is a mature man with wheat-colored skin. He wears a vest-style martial arts uniform, revealing strong muscles like a bodybuilder.
Some viewers really guessed correctly that he and Ji Xing were in the same show because of an arrangement.
‘Jona, this time you will be assigned to Mr. Sulfur Star’s group. Although he said that he just came to experience the martial arts competition, no one can guarantee what will happen if he loses or even gets injured, or whether he will blame Ageng Company.
We can't afford to offend him, so your task is to escort him and let him pass the multiplayer battle qualifiers smoothly! We will replenish the championship bonus you lost, double it! ’
The voice of the person in charge of the organizer echoed in his ears, and Yona suddenly smiled and looked at the other three contestants who looked not so good-looking.
"Do you think you are unlucky? You met Mr. Suo Xing and me at the same time? I have a suggestion. Melee is too easy to cause chaos. Although saying this is very disrespectful to Mr. Suo Xing who participated in the competition as a martial arts enthusiast, Mr. Suo Xing It should also be understood that we cannot bear the responsibility of causing you serious injury.
Why don't you just watch the battle first, and then wait for the four of us to decide the winner, and then we can go one-on-one with you? "
Ji Xing looked at him, and the last champion's heartbeat echoed clearly in his ears.
‘Double? ! Ten times is not enough! If I lose to Sulfur Star on purpose, the audience will definitely see it, which means everyone will know that I am an impure martial artist who loves money more than reputation! The fame I have accumulated over the years will be gone in an instant!
You may have made a mistake. At Ageng Company, you are relying on me to become famous, rather than me relying on you. You are afraid of Sulfur Star, but I am not afraid of him. As long as I defeat him in front of everyone, I will only gain the reputation of not being afraid of power. How dare he shamelessly retaliate against me? !
Not only do we have to defeat him, but we also have to beat him hard to let him know that the martial arts that I and others work hard to practice day and night are not for the rich! ’
"It seems that the identity of the owner of Big Dog Company has caused you a lot of trouble. No matter what I say about participating as a 'martial arts master', you can't treat it completely calmly."
Ji Xing looked at the host and said, "Hurry up and announce it. I'll prove it to them."
The host responded quickly: "Okay! Then the preliminaries for the third multiplayer battle have officially begun!"
prove? Yona and the other three contestants were still confused, and the audience was also confused. Then they saw figures flashing on the stage, a streak of light flying out, and a rumble fixed on the wall!
The scene suddenly fell silent.
This scene made them dream back ten minutes ago, but it happened too quickly and suddenly!
Beside the pit created by Satan, there was another human-shaped pit. The last champion Yona slid down and fell into a coma!
Ji Xing, who kept raising his legs on the stage, seemed to be deliberately telling them what happened, but what on earth was this...? !
On the stage, the other three players also stared at Ji Xing with their mouths wide open. Their shocked expressions were exactly the same as those of the audience, and their legs were a little weak.
How is this possible? Mr. Liu Xing of Big Dog Company... has superpowers? !
"Please go down by yourselves." At this time, Ji Xing looked at the other three and said.
The three of them paused, and Ji Xing in their eyes instantly turned into a ferocious monster, so they screamed and rolled down the stage.
After the host announced that Ji Xing won, Ji Xing walked over and took the host's microphone.
"This time, the contestants of the world's number one martial arts competition will be a little unfortunate because they will face some monsters, but the audience is lucky because you will enjoy the most exciting battles.
I am here to give you a shot of prevention - there are indeed some powerful martial artists in this world who are far from ordinary people and have unimaginable power. Everyone can be more enthusiastic about martial arts!
Of course, if you want to pursue this power beyond ordinary people, you must be prepared for a long-term search without any results. Even if you find it, you may not be able to get started after decades of hard practice. In addition, don't think about learning from me. I don't accept disciples."
After speaking, he threw the microphone back to the host and turned to walk off the stage.
Since you are here, you have to do something by the way.
The "knowledge barrier" of martial arts for earthlings in the Dragon Ball world is meaningless. Even if they know the power of martial arts, only a few people are qualified, which cannot cause chaos, but is beneficial to the development of the world.
Besides, we can also collect some starlight. Scientists, the richest people and the strong are not the same. The martial arts fever can also increase the maximum number of starlight that ordinary people can provide.
After practicing until now, his strength has basically reached Ji Xing's initial goal. It's time to sprint for six starlight and spread his name in the universe!
And when his figure disappeared in the contestant channel, the atmosphere in the audience burst again!
In the infirmary of the venue, Bidi Li glanced at the direction of the venue inexplicably, and then looked at Satan who was unconscious on the bed with worry. What she didn't know was that Satan had actually woken up, but he felt embarrassed to pretend to be unconscious, and at the same time he was thinking about what to do.
There is no way to explain being beaten like that! And neither of them knew that the Earth martial arts version had started loading the update package.
During the preparation period, Krillin complained: "Ji Xing has been in the spotlight again. I was going to perform well in the next game."
"This is a good thing. We can let go a little bit." Piccolo said.
Vegeta stretched his muscles and said, "Finally it's done. Is it finally my turn?"
Ten minutes later, watching the broadcast screen, Vegeta's rage knocked the other four terrified contestants flying and embedding them in the wall and unconscious, Goku slapped him in the face.
"Ah, there's really nothing we can do about him."
Picco's mouth twitched: "I said let go of your hands and feet, not your anger."
Broly also smiled: "Your Highness's personality is really a headache, it seems that he can't change... The fifth game, it's my turn."
One after another, they appeared on the stage, one after another, showing extraordinary strength.
The audience had long since thought that this was Ji Xing's trick, and there were bursts of exclamations. The news spread quickly around the world, and the number of viewers who turned on the TV to watch the martial arts tournament broadcast also increased dramatically. Agen Company was surprised and happy.
...
After advancing to the top 16, the winners went to the draw room.
When the 11th match was over, Raditz, the last of the nine, walked into the draw room and found that the atmosphere in the room was a little bit wrong.
Vegeta leaned against the wall, sulking and exuding a startling chill, Kakarot had an expectant smile on his face, and Piccolo looked at Gohan in front of him with a sour expression.
As for the other two people outside the nine, it is not difficult to imagine what they would look like.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Raditz couldn't help asking.
Krillin spread his hands and said, "What else can I do? I didn't draw the opponent I wanted, and I met him after advancing to the quarterfinals. It's really unlucky...
Now, among the positions drawn, I am the first and he is the second, and the opponents are not determined."
Ji Yu added with a smile: "The third game is between Gohan and Piccolo, the fourth game is between me and that gentleman, the fifth game is between Goku and another gentleman, and Dad's opponent in the sixth game has not been determined yet."
In other words, the third game of the quarterfinals will be a battle between Kakarot and Ji Xing? !
And...
"The seventh and eighth games are between Tien Shinhan and Broly, and the opponents have not been determined yet."
Your Highness is in the upper half, and he has to play until the finals to meet the winner between Ji Xing, Kakarot, and Broly? ! No wonder!
"You draw the lot first, Raditz."
Jixing gestured, he did not do anything to draw the lot this time, everything was up to fate.
Radiz hummed, thinking about the group just now, reached into the lottery pot held by the staff and grabbed one of the few remaining balls.
Took it out and saw that it was number 6.
"Number 6 is..."
"Hahahaha..." Clinton laughed with gloating, and the coldness on Vegeta's body had frozen the surroundings into winter!
Raditz understood, and looked at Ji Xing with a twitch in the corner of his mouth. Ji Xing smiled at him gently, and Raditz shuddered suddenly and wanted to give up.
Ji Xing looked at Krillin: "Don't laugh so happily, and don't think that the quarterfinals will be you and Vegeta, there are masters."
He pointed to the screen in front of him.
Krillin was stunned, and his face changed slightly.
"Why did you forget them!"
In the broadcast screen, No. 18 stood in the center of the ring with a cold expression, and a giant man who was two heads taller than her was punching wildly in front of her.
Fists and kicks fell on No. 18 like a storm, but No. 18 stood still all the time, until the man in front of him was tired, and then kicked him off the ring.
Krillin's expression became solemn. Just looking at this ability to resist blows, you know it's not simple, and... she's pretty... Ahem, no, no, she's quite strange, why did she let the other party hit so many times for nothing? Although it's probably no different from tickling.
After a while, No. 18 with a cold expression walked into the lottery room. This was also the first time that Ji Xing and others had close contact with her.
Facing the gazes and observations of the crowd, she seemed to have no reaction. She just walked to the lottery pot calmly and drew a small ball calmly.
‘No. 1’!
After handing the ball to the staff, she walked to the corner on the other side and leaned against the wall quietly.
Krillin’s expression twitched.
What you fear will come true, right? I’m going to fight one of the two mysterious guys that Ji Xing mentioned? Or the first game?
Ji Xing, you crow mouth!
Vegeta, who was extremely unhappy, looked sideways at No. 17 who appeared on the ring. His expression was a little turbulent. Meeting him... it’s not bad.
It can be seen that No. 17’s performance is almost the same as No. 18. He also lets the opponent who wants to fight him attack, and kicks him off the ring when the opponent is tired.
After watching the game, Ji Xing looked at No. 18, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate her clothes and flesh, looking at her internal organs, bones, and body structure.
This made No. 18 lean to the side and frowned slightly to look at Ji Xing.
Ji Xing retracted his gaze.
And soon, No. 17 also appeared in the draw room, with the same demeanor and behavior as No. 18.
Draw the ball: No. 2!
"Hmph——" Vegeta's mouth twisted instantly.
The top 16 battle list was gradually determined.
7k2, I wish you all a happy Christmas.
