Chapter 865: The Pitiful Crane Immortal (First Update)
Chapter 865: The Pitiful Crane Immortal (First Update)
"Since everyone has signed up, let's go get something to eat. We have a big day tomorrow with the tournament, so we can't let our stomachs go hungry."
After Goku finished signing up, Roshi, as the master of the group, showed a rare moment of generosity.
"Great! I've been swimming in the ocean for days and I'm almost starving."
At the mention of food, Goku was the first to jump up.
Krillin wasn't far behind:
"I'm going to eat even more than Goku. I'm determined to win the World Martial Arts Tournament this time."
"Me too. I've been practicing a new technique for the past three years."
Yamcha placed his hands on his hips, looking very confident.
Seeing this, Roshi quietly pulled out his wallet and counted the cash inside, breaking out into a cold sweat.
"I think we should just eat until we're about 80% full. Eating too much isn't good for the stomach."
However, Goku and the others were already eagerly heading towards the nearby restaurant, completely ignoring his advice.
Only Jerry stood beside him and smiled:
"It's been so long since I've seen Master Roshi. Let me treat everyone today!"
"Jerry, among all the disciples, you're the one who cares the most about your master. I have a technique called the Shocking Sky Palm. I'll teach it to you when I have the time!"
Hearing that Jerry would be paying, Roshi straightened his back, and his mood instantly improved.
After the group finished their dinner in a sweeping manner, they checked into the hotel provided by the World Martial Arts Tournament.
"Brother, aren't you participating in the World Martial Arts Tournament? I really wanted to test my skills against you."
In the hotel, Goku looked disappointed when he heard that Jerry wasn't going to participate. Back then, when Goku was knocked out by Taobao, Jerry had already been able to defeat Taobao with a single strike, showing a significant gap in their abilities. Over the past three years, Goku had trained hard and felt his strength had improved a lot. He had been hoping to challenge Jerry, but now it seemed that Jerry wasn't going to participate.
"There will be plenty of time in the future. Get some rest; you have a big day tomorrow."
Jerry wasn't interested in sparring with Goku at this point. At the very least, he would wait until Goku could transform into a Super Saiyan.
The next day, the preliminary rounds of the World Martial Arts Tournament officially began.
The preliminaries were held at the Martial Arts Arena, and only the participants could enter. The audience would have to wait until the preliminaries were over and the top eight competitors were decided before they could watch the matches in the main arena.
"We have to make it through the preliminaries!"
With the encouragement of Bulma and the others, Yamcha, Krillin, and Goku, dressed in their martial arts uniforms, joined over a hundred other martial artists from around the world and entered the Martial Arts Arena.
"Let's go get some drinks and snacks and wait. I'll treat everyone."
Jerry pointed to the various food stalls on the street.
"Great!"
No one objected to the idea of a free meal.
"Hey, where's Master Roshi?"
At that moment, Pu'er noticed that Roshi, who had been following them, was nowhere to be seen.
Bulma, however, waved her hand dismissively:
"Don't worry about that old man. He's probably off taking a dump again!"
Thinking of something, Bulma then looked at Jerry with anticipation:
"Jerry, can your superpower show us the preliminaries, like it did yesterday?"
She remembered how Jerry had used his superpower to show them Goku on his way to sign up for the tournament yesterday.
Jerry smiled:
"Of course. If you want to watch, we can find a stall and have some snacks while we do."
At one of the food stalls on the street, the group gathered around, eating snacks and drinking while watching the preliminaries through the virtual images Jerry created with his Magic.
Although the competitors came from all over the world and were top-notch martial artists in their own right, they were still ordinary martial artists. Goku, Krillin, and the others had long surpassed human limits, so they won their preliminary matches with ease.
Yamcha faced a world champion in karate and defeated him in one move.
Krillin fought a world wrestling champion, a giant over five meters tall, and simply grabbed the champion's fingers and flung him away.
Goku's opponent was a well-known martial arts expert, King Kappa, who could use the Eight-Handed Fist. However, Goku kicked him unconscious in just a few moves.
While Bulma and the others were watching Goku, Krillin, and Yamcha dominate their opponents, Jerry noticed Crane Immortal walking toward them, wearing the martial arts uniform of the Crane School.
"Where did that idiot Roshi go?"
"Master Kame went to the restroom."
Jerry waved his hand to temporarily turn off the Magic projection.
Crane Immortal chuckled and sneered, "I bet he didn't go to the restroom. He probably got scared and ran back because he couldn't bear to see his students get beaten by mine."
Then, his eyes passed over Jerry and lingered lecherously on Bulma and Lanqi.
"Are you two Roshi's concubines? How about joining me? I'll give you a much better life."
"What the hell, you old pervert?"
The short-tempered Lanqi immediately pulled out a Universal Capsule and produced a submachine gun, firing at Crane Immortal without hesitation.
She was enjoying the matches and wasn't about to let this old pervert ruin it.
However, with Crane Immortal's strength, ordinary bullets couldn't harm him. He moved his hands in a blur, catching all the bullets Lanqi fired.
"These little toys can't hurt me!"
Standing nearby, Jerry saw this and lightly touched the submachine gun in Lanqi's hand, casting a small transformation spell on it.
Instantly, the ordinary submachine gun transformed into a high-tech hand cannon.
"Plasma Energy Cannon. Thank you for taking care of Master Kame and the others all these years. Consider this a small gift."
"Haha, I like this!"
Lanqi looked at the energy cannon in her hand and laughed, aiming it at Crane Immortal again.
"Let's see how powerful it is."
"Boom!"
A massive plasma energy beam, thicker than a thigh, shot out from Lanqi's hand cannon.
"Oh no!"
Sensing the energy beam's aura, Crane Immortal's lecherous expression turned to shock. He immediately crossed his hands to defend and channeled all his ki.
"How can this be!"
The powerful plasma energy beam shattered Crane Immortal's defensive ki, destroying his Crane School uniform and sending him flying into the wall of the Martial Arts Arena.
"The power is just right."
Looking at the unconscious Crane Immortal, Jerry nodded.
The plasma hand cannon's power was calibrated based on the ki intensity he detected from Crane Immortal. One shot was enough to knock him out without causing fatal damage.
"Awesome, this thing is awesome, Jerry! I'm starting to like you!"
"Be careful, it needs to collect energy for ten seconds after each use."
Jerry didn't mind and simply smiled, giving Lanqi a heads-up.
