Chapter 11 The World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament
"Open the properties panel," Shang Yun thought to himself.
Host: Shang Yun
Age: 13 years old
Heart Sutra: Mahaprajnaparamita Heart Sutra
Realm: Unity of knowledge and action (knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge)
Supernatural Powers: **Divine Eye (Able to see the suffering and joy of beings in the six realms, and to see all forms and colors in the world without obstruction. Current level: Beginner. With a compassionate and merciful heart, one can see through objects within a ten-meter radius.)** **Divine Ear (Able to hear the languages of beings in the six realms, expressing their joy, sorrow, and happiness, as well as all kinds of sounds in the world. Current level: Beginner. With a compassionate and merciful heart, one can clearly hear all sounds within a ten-meter radius.)**
Cultivation Method: The First Level of the Heart Sutra (Compiled from the Heart Sutra of the Great Perfection of Wisdom, a supreme method of cultivating Qi, currently at the stage of refining essence into Qi).
Martial Arts: Vajra Prajna Power Level 1 (Compiled from the Heart Sutra, it is a supreme method of energy cultivation that can be integrated into any combat technique. Its power is unparalleled and it comprehensively enhances physical fitness. When activated, a Vajra Dharma Image is formed outside the body. As long as the Dharma Image remains intact, it can reflect all damage. There is no upper limit to its level. With each level advancement, the improvement in physical fitness is doubled.)
Combat Technique: Turtle School, Kamehameha Wave
Shang Yun comprehended the Vajra Prajna Power based on the Prajna Power. The Vajra Prajna Power can improve physical fitness in all aspects. It is estimated that when it is raised to a high level, it should be like the Free and Easy Ultimate Skill, which is basically harmless.
In the second year of training with Master Roshi, Shang Yun's attribute panel added the Turtle School style to his combat skills, meaning he had learned almost all of Master Roshi's fighting techniques, which the system collectively called the Turtle School style. Shang Yun learned the Kamehameha wave when fighting against Goku.
That day, the three of them prepared early and waited for Master Roshi's special training. Master Roshi slowly walked over and said, "There's no training today. I have good news for you. Your training is over. From now on, you'll have to train on your own. The master leads you through the door, but the training is up to you."
"Huh, really? Our training is over, but I don't feel any improvement." Krillin clenched his fist, looking at Master Roshi with a puzzled expression.
"Take off your shells and jump hard," Master Roshi said mysteriously.
The three of them did as instructed with curiosity. "Wow, that's high! I can jump that high!" Krillin exclaimed excitedly, followed by Goku's equally excited voice. Shang Yun also tried it and was able to jump about 20 meters high. It was amazing! Shang Yun was also excited, but unlike the other two, he didn't jump repeatedly.
"Your strength is already quite strong, but you can't fully control it yet. You need to fight to fully control it. So I want you to participate in the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament on May 7th, 750 AD. This World Martial Arts Tournament will be held on a small island near Nandu. Alright, let's go now." Master Roshi gave Shang Yun a meaningful look.
After saying goodbye to Lan Qi, the four of them set off towards Nandu.
Upon arrival, Master Roshi told the three to register and wait for further instructions, then disappeared. Shang Yun knew that Master Roshi would also participate in this year's martial arts tournament, but he would disguise himself as Jackie Chan. His purpose was to ensure that the other participants were not without opponents, and that the three would gain control of their strength through combat while also understanding the principle that there are always stronger people out there.
The competition was held in a large arena, divided into preliminary and final rounds. The preliminary rounds took place in an indoor stadium-like setting with multiple competition areas; the finals took place on a ring erected in an open-air plaza, surrounded by seating for spectators who could watch the matches from various angles. The atmosphere was electric, with a large and enthusiastic audience eager to witness who would become the world's greatest fighter. Whenever an exciting match occurred, the crowd cheered, applauded, and shouted, supporting the competitors.
A large number of contestants participated, totaling 137. The preliminary rounds involved a draw to group the contestants into different zones. Each zone held one-on-one matches; falling out of the ring or fainting resulted in a loss. Matches lasted one minute, and in case of a tie, the referee would decide the winner. Each zone had two qualifying spots, ultimately selecting eight contestants to advance to the finals. The eight finalists would then compete in an elimination tournament on an open-air plaza stage. The competition was expected to be even more intense, as everyone was confirmed to be among the world's strongest, and to vie for the title of number one, each contestant would need to give their all and demonstrate their absolute best.
The competition venue has dedicated staff responsible for organizing and managing the event, such as drawing lots and scheduling matches. Referees are responsible for supervising the competition to ensure fairness and impartiality, and for determining the winners and losers according to the rules. A medical team is also on standby at the venue; if a competitor is injured, they will be carried on a stretcher to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Fortunately, none of the three were assigned to the same venue, so with their abilities, they should all be able to make it to the finals.
While waiting, Goku introduced Krillin and Shoyun to his friends: Yamcha and Pupu, handsome boys with black spiky hair; Bulma, a beautiful girl with long blue hair; and Oolong, a chubby pig. It must be said that Bulma was really beautiful. At this time, Bulma should have been 17 years old, a vibrant and youthful age.
The preliminary rounds continued, during which Krillin encountered his senior brothers from Dorin Temple. Because he had always been bullied by his senior brothers in Dorin Temple, Krillin always believed that his senior brothers were invincible, so he was afraid, maintained a defensive stance, and dodged, never daring to fight back.
"Krillin, fight back! He's weak, don't be afraid!" Goku shouted worriedly after the match, seeing Krillin's condition.
Shang Yun had already finished his match and came down from the stage. Seeing Krillin's condition, he was about to comfort him when Goku spoke first. So he didn't say anything more. Some things don't require you to rush to the front; it's enough to stand quietly behind and offer support.
But Klin still didn't dare, perhaps the fear was ingrained in his bones. Shang Yun thought for a moment and shouted, "Klin, don't hide, just stand there and take his punch."
After hearing this, Kelin turned to look at Shang Yun in confusion: "He...! He...! He took a punch from him?!"
Under everyone's astonished gazes, Shang Yun gave Klin an affirming look.
Krillin knew Shang Yun wouldn't lie to him, and he also knew that constantly dodging wasn't a solution; time was running out. Just as Krillin hesitated, his senior brother's attack arrived. Without time to hesitate, Krillin crossed his arms and took the punch head-on.
"Haha, Klin, scared out of your wits! Hahahaha!" the senior brother said arrogantly.
"Hmm?" Klin looked puzzled, then suddenly seemed to realize something and turned to look at Shang Yun, who gave Klin a firm look again.
