Chapter 1325 Nemesis
If I remember correctly, "The Secret of Immortality" is an internal skill from the martial arts novel "The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty." Practicing martial arts in the Dragon Ball universe? Could it even make you explode stars? Isn't the art style too bizarre?
[But according to the old man who accompanied me, exploding stars? That's just the beginning. This is just the first step to becoming a peerless swordsman. The most important thing is to proceed step by step. That's how he got there.]
[Starburst is just the beginning? You feel like he's just bragging. Over time, you've become close friends with the old man. You've also learned his nickname in the other world: Sword God. Sounds pretty impressive. (You've achieved Milestone: Friendship Notes VII)]
The old man is aloof, but has a good personality. Sometimes he seems a bit overly dramatic. For example, he thinks the gods of destruction and angels in this world are weak. Is that even possible?
[But honestly, the system he helped create is truly powerful. As the game manager, Xiaoposhu is primarily responsible for issuing quests, but you can also assign quests to players and teach them skills in exchange for experience. Also, when players complete quests, you can also earn a small amount of experience. This allows you to grow incredibly quickly. And there are only a few players, right?]
[Also, this system allows you to take on many side quests, which reward a large amount of experience and sometimes even skills. But unfortunately, each skill experience you learn is a bottomless pit, requiring a long time to accumulate.]
May 756th - May 5th, 9. It's been a week since you entered the Dragon Ball world. During these few days, Dragon Ball's influence has gradually spread among Earth's player community, and more and more players are applying to join the closed beta test on the forums.
You're naturally open to this, but the system's infiltration helmet capacity isn't very high right now, and even with Xiaoposhu's current level, it can't handle too many players. Furthermore, when you're just starting out in this world, having so many players presents too many uncontrollable factors. After all, this is the real world, not a game, so a gradual approach is the best approach. However, maintaining a scale of several hundred players shouldn't be a problem. The second batch of players is tentatively planned to be 800, and the next batch after that will likely be spread across the entire Dragon Ball world.
During this time, you participated in several rounds of preliminaries. Without a doubt, you advanced to the main competition of the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament with your superior swordsmanship. This also completed a side quest, granting you several powerful sword techniques and a powerful feat, such as the Dugu Nine Swords and the Two Sleeves of Green Snake.
From May 5th to May 12th, after the second wave of players joined, you, with your superior skill at monetizing players, gained a massive amount of experience by issuing quests and teaching skills. It was actually not bad at all, just enough for you to learn all the skills you currently possess and reach the intermediate level.
On May 756th, 5, you boarded a hovercraft and traveled to the Budoji Temple on Papaya Island in the Southern Kingdom. As the world's largest fighting tournament, the competition had very wide eligibility requirements. Not only martial artists, but also non-humans, cyborgs with built-in weapons, and monsters could participate.
[However, the main competition differs from the preliminary rounds in that this year's martial arts tournament explicitly prohibits the use of weapons made of hard materials such as steel and external forces during the competition. This means you cannot use real swords.]
"That's not a big deal. Even though it's only been a short time, your swordsmanship is already quite advanced, reaching the point where you can transform grass, wood, bamboo, and stone into swords. According to my old man, you're roughly equivalent to 10 Zhu Baokun. This is the power of extraordinary wisdom."
[For some reason, your portable grandfather likes to use Zhu Baokun as a statistical unit. In the Dragon Ball world, combat power is divided as follows.]
【?6?8普通人档次?6?8：战斗力在1~20之间，代表普通人类的极限。?6?8地球武术家档次?6?8：战斗力在30~200之间，能够进行一些超乎常人的体能表现，如跳跃几十米、硬扛枪击。?6?8宇宙战士档次?6?8：战斗力在500~1500之间，具备在宇宙中生存和战斗的能力，但仍然属于基础水平。接下来是?6?8宇宙精英战士档次，战斗力在3000~10000之间，战力能够摧毁星球。随后的层次距离你太远，暂时不提。】
[One Zhu is roughly equivalent to 20 Combat Power. Master Roshi's Combat Power is 139. Considering this year's champion, Tien Shinhan, debuted with a Combat Power of 180, 10 Zhu should be enough for you to win the championship. Furthermore, the bonuses your moves give you make your true strength far greater than 10 Zhu.]
The 22nd Martial Arts Tournament was the most anticipated in recent years, with the participation of two of the world's most prestigious martial arts schools, the Kame-ryu and Crane-ryu. Of these, only your Pineapple Martial Arts School could be considered a relative newcomer to the martial arts world, attracting attention purely for its owner's good looks and the number of students in the school.
Before the elimination rounds began, according to official regulations, participants had to wear martial arts uniforms. At the insistence of the old man accompanying him, the Pineapple Martial Arts School's martial arts uniforms were moon-white robes, and it was best to wear a bamboo hat. Otherwise, it wouldn't look impressive enough. After much persuasion, he finally gave up on this second request.
The elimination rounds proceeded swiftly, thanks to a rather unconventional method: the top few qualified, measured by a boxing machine, advanced to the qualifying round. In just two days, the total number of participants in the martial arts tournament was reduced to just eight. Besides you, there was Master Roshi, aliasing Cheng Long, Dragon Ball protagonist Son Goku, his charm Krillin, Yamcha, Gyoza from the Crane Senryu School, his senior brother, Tien Shinhan, the eventual champion of the original world, and a werewolf whose name remains unknown.
In the quarterfinals, your luck didn't seem very good. You faced Jiaozi, who possessed telekinetic powers. Although he's known as the weakest of the Dragon Ball fighters, his initial attack was comparable to Tien Shinhan's, and even surpassed Krillin's. His primary attack methods were hole waves, which he used to focus his energy on his fingertips and release a beam of light. He also used telekinesis and psychic attacks, which allowed him to control his opponent's movements with his mind.
You originally thought you'd face a tough fight, but it turns out you were overthinking it. Seven moves, just seven. With only the seventh of the Dugu Nine Swords, your opponent was completely exhausted, stunned and collapsed to the ground. The matches in the other three arenas had just begun.
Over 800 players and thousands of spectators witnessed this battle, expressing their excitement. Others may not know, but you're familiar with the players' green, lush eyes, the look of a leek eager to be harvested.
The following battle was equally stress-free. In the semifinals, you faced Dragon Ball's protagonist, Son Goku. At this point, he still looked like an ordinary child. But the fighting power of the young Son Goku was already roughly equivalent to nine Zhu Baokuns. Almost as strong as you.
[Facing the infant Goku, the battle was barely even. It lasted 12 minutes, but he was still no match for your powerful swordsmanship. You struck him in the chest with your wooden sword, knocking him off the field.]
The final battle took place between you and Tien Shinhan. This final took place the next day. After defeating Son Goku, you gained enough experience to level up again. With 12 opponents against 9, and to the bewildered faces of the audience, you defeated Tien Shinhan in just 5 minutes and won the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai.
The reward for this quest is a feat called Nemesis. This skill grants you the ultimate advantage in duels with your Nemesis.
