Chapter 57: Breaking barriers and grouping (7k2 Merry Christmas)
"Awesome~There are so many people!"
The best martial arts meeting venue in the world.
The nine-year-old little Gohan stood on the ring and looked around cautiously. There were 30 rows in three directions, north, south, south, and south. The venue, which could accommodate more than 30,000 spectators, was almost full of people. Enthusiastic applause and cheers went straight to the sky.
The big screen on the west side broadcasts the scenes in the ring without any blind spots, and broadcasts them to countless fighting enthusiasts.
This was the first time he experienced such an occasion, and he couldn't help feeling nervous.
At this time, he heard shouts in the noise: "Gohan! Gohan! Come on!"
Turning his eyes to the isolated VIP audience seats on the east side of the venue, he saw his mother holding her hands in front of her mouth like a trumpet and shouting at the top of her lungs. Aunt Bulma beside her mother was also waving her hands to encourage him.
Over there in the player preparation area, my father, Ji Yu and the others were probably looking at me too.
Gohan slightly clenched his fists, his mood calmed down, and his eyes returned to the ring.
Competing with him, the other four players who will compete for the only top sixteen have already taken their places in the other four directions. They are all strong male martial artists. I don't know because I didn't see him at the boxing machine test.
When he hit 384 points of power, he still thought it was just an instrument malfunction. Anyway, he didn't pay much attention to this kid who was like a sheep in a tiger's mouth.
At this time, three of them were looking at the fourth person with solemn expressions, and the fourth person with an afro and a big beard was... playing a monkey trick?
I saw Satan performing his signature performance, spinning around in circles to show off his figure to the audience, and from time to time he would perform a deft low-down move, showing off his impressive fighting skills.
The audience just fell in love with him, most of the cheers came towards him, and the broadcast screen also gave him a close-up.
The host warmed up the show at the right time: "Old viewers all know that the multi-player qualifying matches of every Tenkaichi Budokai are the most upset matches. There are many powerful martial artists who were defeated because they were besieged by other players.
Beware of defeat.
Many viewers are always confused as to why the organizer maintains such an unfair competition system. The organizer’s explanation is that the World’s Best Martial Arts Association selects the world’s best event. Since it is the world’s best, it must have a
The strength of many enemies, on the other hand, luck is often also a part of strength!
We saw that in the just-concluded first multi-player qualifier, the fourth Lelian player from the previous Budokai unfortunately fell off the stage due to the siege and was unexpectedly eliminated. So in this second game
In the middle, how will the last runner-up Satan player perform?!"
"Oh?! We can see the Satan player confidently making his winning gesture!"
"Satan! Satan!"
As Satan raised his right hand and pointed towards the surrounding areas of the venue, the auditorium suddenly exploded with sound.
Little Bidili also stood up from her seat, waving her hands to cheer for her father, but her eyes slipped over little Gohan's face with concern from time to time, but Gohan's always "dumb goose" expression did not change.
Are you scared by dad? Or what?
"This guy is so ugly!" Maren, who only had VIP seats, frowned.
For the first time, Bulma felt that Krillin's little girlfriend was quite nice when he spoke. Chichi even followed suit and shouted: "Stop patting him! Pat my Gohan!"
'The audience's mood is so enthusiastic, it seems that I can't lose this match.' Satan, who was smiling confidently at this moment, murmured in his heart: 'First deal with the other three guys neatly, and then accompany Mr. Sulfur Star.
The child plays for a while and gently knocks him off the ring. Even if I am seen 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 loudly and said: "You three, be direct. If you want to besiege me, come here quickly!"
The other three contestants looked angry, and the host announced at the right time: "Well... the second multi-person battle begins now!"
"Don't underestimate people! Satan!"
At the same moment when the host's voice fell, the three martial arts masters, who could no longer hold back any restraint, rushed towards Satan from three directions with tacit understanding. A short, stocky middle-aged man punched Satan in the front.
With a self-conceited handsomeness on his face, Satan nimbly dodged the punch to the side and hit the other player's abdomen with a sharp side kick.
The player's figure suddenly stopped, and he knelt down holding his lower abdomen in pain. Satan's body withdrew again, and hit another player in the face with a powerful fist, causing the other two players to collide.
Become a rolling gourd.
Bang bang bang bang!
Then the sound of hitting continued, and Satan's movements were crisp and clean. In just half a minute, the three of them either lost their ability to fight, or were kicked off the ring by him!
"Hahahaha..." After doing this, Satan panted slightly and once again made his signature victory gesture in all directions.
The auditorium that had just been briefly silent due to the dizzying battle exploded again!
"Satan! Satan!"
Mixed with the host's passionate announcement, the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak, and little Bidili's smile was bright and cheerful, and she kept jumping up and down.
"Ah, this guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve." Wukong said in surprise in the battle preparation area.
"A bunch of trash!" Vegeta was extremely unhappy: "I don't know what Gohan is doing! Why don't you solve it as soon as possible?!"
"Don't say that, Vegeta, it was me who told Gohan to observe the opponent's strength first, and be careful in his actions, so as not to damage the opponent."
Gohan in the ring did listen to Wukong's words. He had been observing hard just now, and his expression at this time was already a little serious.
'It's really weak. It can't really beat people up like the boxing machine did before.'
On the opposite side, Satan, who had been receiving the cheers for a while, finally looked at Gohan and laughed loudly: "Don't be nervous, kid, we are the only ones left, attack with all your strength!"
The tone of his voice clearly meant 'I want to play with you', and the audience was moved. He was so gentle!
"This kid is so unlucky that he met the powerful Mr. Satan."
"No, that's just luck. It's easier to get hurt when you meet other people at this age."
"Ah, that's right..."
"How come I heard from a friend who participated in the competition that during the boxing machine test session, a kid scored a total of 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. Are you frightened? Really, you are participating in the best martial arts tournament in the world at such a young age. If you were Master Ji Yu, I would still
A little easier to handle.
Why do you still need 384 points of punching power?
That's all.
"Ah——" The next moment, he roared exaggeratedly, seemingly menacing, but in fact he rushed towards Gohan very clumsily.
The sandbag-sized fist was swung as if fighting the enemy, but in fact the fist was swung very slowly, grazing Gohan's cheek in slow motion and staying there.
One second, two seconds.
As if the pause button was pressed, Satan, who performed a scene by himself, looked embarrassed and whispered: "Kid, why don't you hide like this? 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!
There was a soft muffled sound, and Satan's eyes almost flew out!
The pain in his abdomen was like being hit by a truck, emptying the air from his lungs in an instant.
This time it was like slow motion. Satan slowly covered his abdomen, slowly knelt down at Gohan's feet, and stood still for more than ten seconds with his butt raised high.
Start rolling all over the ground!
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts—"
The scene fell silent for an instant, and the audience looked at the scene on the ring in disbelief. Bidili's little face was also full of worry and confusion, and Qiqi's voice became particularly harsh: "Well done! Gohan!
Knock him off the ring!"
"Oh, okay."
Gohan was very obedient and wanted to pick up Satan and throw him off the ring. However, at this moment, Satan suddenly stopped rolling and jumped up to his feet, laughing out loud.
"What a powerful fist, kid! Well done, let's continue!"
It turned out to be a performance... The audience suddenly realized and laughed. Mr. Satan really knows how to joke, and he acted really well!
She could only pretend not to know. The host who was reporting all the superficial situations noticed the sweat on Satan's forehead. Bidili also felt that something was wrong with her father...it seemed like his legs were shaking?!
Satan was indeed panicked.
'What's going on, what's going on, does this kid have rockets tied under his sleeves?! No, this must be just an accident. He accidentally hit his vitals. Then he has to wait a little...'
Bang——
Before he could finish his thoughts, little Gohan, who didn't know how to deal with the world, teleported in front of Satan and kicked Satan in the side with a side kick.
Satan's eyes flew out of his sockets again, and he felt that his waist was broken, and his body turned into a meteor, flying out of the ring and hitting the side wall of the fighting arena!
A human-shaped hole was knocked out of the wall, and Satan, whose eyes were full of stars spinning, fell to the ground and briefly lost consciousness.
Gohan on the ring panicked: "Oh no! Because he seems to be more resistant to beatings, I still can't hold back this kick... I hope he's okay!"
The venue was once again completely silent.
The laughter just now was like a brief reconnection after being disconnected. This time, Gohan completely unplugged the network cable. As the host announced the winner, Videl suddenly exclaimed: "Dad?!"
The audience also began to look around like gods.
In the preparation area, Vegeta said: "It is obviously a matter that can be solved in an instant, but it has to be delayed for so long and wastes 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 Qi, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand up after being punched by Gohan. If he had been there since he was a child
I practiced under Grandpa Kamesenren, and now I might be even better than Uncle Klin!"
"Hmph -" Vegeta snorted in response to this brat who was always at odds with him.
"Really or not? Ji Yu, why do you want to use me as an example?" Klin said helplessly.
Ji Yu chuckled and said, "Because besides me and dad, Uncle Lin, you are the most powerful person on earth in my heart."
Klin was so happy that he was bald, but then he was startled: "Wait a minute, you little brat, you think you are better than me?"
He looked at Ji Xing for verification, but Ji Xing only smiled and said to Vegeta: "Ji Yu is right, Satan is indeed a genius. One more thing, I taught you when you were a child, do not practice
Don't be impatient or excessive, but your mentality must be stable enough. If this continues, Wukong 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 battle." Ji Xing continued: "Isn't it good to adjust the state before the battle between us? What's more, I have a hunch that martial arts will be too calm 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 she asked me to help her tie them up and sell them as waste paper... Well, I just want to challenge you Ji Xing once.
, 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 Best Martial Arts Tournament again. Just wait and see, it will be my turn to compete next."
With confusion, everyone watched Ji Xing's back disappearing 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 out and Satan was knocked unconscious.
What is going on? If it is a performance, this is too much, and what is going on with 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 the host.
"Now we see that Mr. Sulfur Star has 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 hand, among the players participating in the preliminaries for this third multi-player battle, the previous champion Yona is also included! At this time when players Lelian and Satan were unfortunately eliminated one after another, I wonder if Yona can win.
To defend their own honor, what wonderful performances will Mr. Sulfur Star and the other three contestants 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?"
"It's so unlucky that the organizer didn't make special arrangements for him to meet player Yona?"
"Sh-Maybe it's already been arranged..."
"Why did I hear from my friends who participated in the competition that Mr. Li Xing also scored a good score of 177 points during the boxing machine test?"
"Why is it you again?! You said before that the child in the last game played 384!"
"Then the kid doesn't behave 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, wearing a vest-style martial arts uniform, showing strong muscles like a bodybuilder.
Some viewers really guessed correctly that he and Ji Xing were in the same show because of an arrangement.
'Yona, 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 after he loses or even gets injured.
I don't blame Ageng Company.
We can’t afford to offend him, so your task is to escort him and let him pass the multi-player 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 for causing you serious injuries.
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. That 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 disappear in an instant!
You may have made a mistake, Ageng Company, it is you who rely 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 the spotlight, I will only get a lot of benefits.
With a reputation for fearing 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 the start. I'll prove it to them."
The host responded quickly: "Okay! Then the preliminaries for the third multiplayer battle have officially begun!"
Proof? Yona and the other three contestants were still confused, and the audience was also confused. 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 brought them back to ten minutes ago, but it happened too quickly and suddenly!
Next to the pit created by Satan, there was another human-shaped pit. The previous champion, Yona, slipped softly from it and fell into a coma!
Ji Xing, who was keeping his legs raised on the ring, seemed to be deliberately telling them what happened, but... what on earth was this...?!
On the ring, the other three contestants also looked at Ji Xing with their mouths wide open. Their shocked expressions were exactly the same as those of the audience, and their legs were also a little weak.
How is this possible? Mr. Sulphur, from Big, Big Dog...has superpowers?!
"Please three of you go down by yourselves." Ji Xing looked at the other three people and said.
The three of them froze, and the Ji Xing in their eyes instantly turned into a ferocious monster. Then they screamed and ran off the ring, crawling on the ground.
After the host announced Ji Xing's victory, Ji Xing walked over and asked for the host's microphone.
"In this World No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament, the contestants will be a little unlucky 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 - there are indeed some powerful martial arts masters in this world who are far away from ordinary people, possessing power that is unimaginable to everyone. You can be more enthusiastic about martial arts!
Of course, if you want to pursue this power that transcends ordinary people, you must be prepared to search hard for a long time and still get nothing. Even if you find it, you may have to work hard for decades and not be able to get started. Also, don’t expect to learn from me.
No apprentices."
When he finished speaking, he threw the microphone back to the host, turned around and walked off the stage.
Even though I'm here, I have to do something along the way.
In the Dragon Ball World, people on earth have no knowledge of martial arts. Even if they know how powerful martial arts is, there are only a few people who are qualified. They cannot bring chaos, but are conducive to the development of the world.
Furthermore, you can also collect some starlight by the way. Scientists, richest men and powerful people are not of the same rank. The craze for martial arts can also increase the limit of the number of starlight that ordinary people can provide.
Now that I have practiced cultivation, my strength has basically reached the initial goal of Ji Xing. It’s time to launch a sprint towards the six-star light and spread my name in the universe!
And when his figure disappeared into the player tunnel, the atmosphere in the audience exploded again!
In the infirmary of the venue, Bidili glanced inexplicably in the direction of the venue, and then looked worriedly at Satan who was unconscious on the hospital bed. What she didn't know was that Satan had actually woken up, and she just felt embarrassed and pretended to be faint, while thinking about what to do.
manage.
There was no way to explain why he was beaten like that! And neither of them knew that the Earth Martial Arts version had started to load an update package.
During preparations, Klin complained: "Ji Xing has been out of the limelight again. I was planning to put on a good performance in the next game."
"This is a good thing, we can relax a little bit," Bick said.
Vegeta stretched his muscles and said, "It's finally easy. Is it finally my turn?"
Ten minutes later, watching Vegeta's violent outburst on the broadcast screen knocking the other four terrified contestants flying into the wall and unconscious, Goku slapped him in the face.
"Yeah, there's really nothing we can do against him."
Piccolo's mouth also twitched: "I said let go of your hands and feet, not your breath."
Broly also smiled: "His Royal Highness's character is really troublesome. It seems that it can't be changed... In the fifth game, it's my turn."
One after another, they appeared on stage, showing extraordinary power one after another.
It was no longer possible for the audience to think that Ji Xing was taking the lead in performing a trick for them. There were exclamations and exclamations. The news quickly spread around the world. The number of viewers who turned on TV to watch the broadcast of the martial arts event also increased dramatically. Ageng Company was surprised and delighted.
…
After advancing to the top 16, the winning players will go to the draw room.
When the 11th game ended, Raditz, the last of the nine people, walked into the lottery room and found that the atmosphere in the room was slightly wrong.
Vegeta leaned against the corner, sulking and exuding an astonishing chill, Kakarot smiled expectantly, and Piccolo looked at Gohan in front of him with a sour expression.
As for the other two people besides the nine, it is not difficult to imagine what they would look like.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Raditz couldn't help but ask.
Klin spread his hands and said: "What else can I do? I didn't get the opponent I wanted, and after advancing to the quarter-finals, I was the one I met. It's really unlucky...
In the current lottery, I am in the first game and he is in the second game, and the opponent is not determined yet.”
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 yet been decided.
"
In other words, the third game of the quarterfinals will be a battle between Kakarot and Ji Xing?!
besides……
"The seventh and eighth games are Tianjin Fan and Broly respectively, and the opponents have not yet been determined."
His Royal Highness is in the top half and has to fight until the finals to meet the winner between Ji Xing, Kakarot, and Broly?! No wonder!
"You draw lots first, Raditz."
Ji Xing indicated that he did not do anything to draw lots this time and everything was left to chance.
Raditz hummed, thinking about the grouping just now, reaching into the lottery pot held by the staff and grabbing one of the few remaining balls.
Take it out and see, No. 6.
"No. 6 is..."
"Hahahaha..." Clinton laughed happily, while the chill on Vegeta's body had turned the surrounding area into winter!
Raditz understood and looked at Ji Xing with twitching corners of his mouth. Ji Xing gave him a gentle smile. Raditz shuddered suddenly and wanted to give up.
Ji Xing looked at Klin: "Don't smile so happily, and don't think that the top eight will be between you and Vegeta. There are also experts."
He pointed at the screen in front of him.
Klin was startled and his expression changed slightly.
"Why did you forget them?"
In the live broadcast, No. 18 stood in the center of the ring with a cold expression, and in front of her was a giant man who was two heads taller than her, punching wildly.
The fists and kicks fell on No. 18 like a violent storm, but No. 18 stood unwaveringly until the man in front of him was tired from the beating, and then kicked him off the ring.
Klin's expression became solemn. Just by looking at her ability to withstand a beating, she knew that it would not be easy. Moreover... she was quite beautiful... Well, no, no, she was quite strange. Why did she let the other party beat her like this for nothing?
How many? Although that's probably no different than scratching an itch.
After a while, No. 18 walked into the lottery room with a cold expression. This was also the first time that Ji Xing and others had close contact with her.
Faced with everyone's gaze and observation, she didn't seem to have any reaction. She just walked calmly to the lottery pot and calmly took out a small ball.
‘Number 1’!
Handing the ball to the staff, she walked to the other corner and leaned against the wall quietly.
Klin's expression twitched.
You get what you're afraid of, right? I want to fight one of those two guys with mysterious origins that Ji Xing said? Or is it the first time?
Ji Xing, you crow’s mouth!
Vegeta, who was extremely unhappy, looked sideways at No. 17 who appeared on the ring, his expression slightly disturbed, meeting him... was not bad.
I saw that the performance of No. 17 was almost the same as that of No. 18. They also allowed opponents who wanted to fight him to attack, and then kicked them off the ring when they were tired.
Ji Xing watched the game and looked sideways at No. 18. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the flesh and blood of her clothes and look at her internal organs, bones, and body structure.
This made No. 18 turn sideways and look at Ji Xing with a slight frown.
Ji Xing looked away.
And soon, No. 17 also appeared in the lottery room, acting in the same manner as No. 18.
Draw the ball: No. 2!
"Hmph——" Vegeta instantly twisted his lips.
The top 16 battle list is gradually finalized.
7k2, I wish you all a Merry Christmas.
By the way, I would like to sacrifice a book: "Da Ming: The Sims of Life, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed"
"Historical Records of the Ming Dynasty": He used soldiers like a god, knew people and used them well, created a prosperous age, and reached far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties. For thousands of years, the only person who can be called a saint is Zhu Xi.
