The Battle About to Begin

Although Master Roshi is over 300 years old, he is not senile and still has a good understanding of the concept of the universe and extraterrestrial technology.

Even if this understanding is just the kind of understanding that ordinary people have about scientific research, knowing that the outside universe is incredibly vast and that Aliens technology may surpass that of humans, it is still enough for Master Roshi to understand Vegapunk's current level of scientific knowledge.

"Dragon Ball can even do something like this?"

Master Roshi exclaimed in surprise, then his mind raced:

"No, I should say, it's quite surprising that you could even think of such a wish."

Vegapunk smiled slightly and didn't say much. Shenron wasn't truly omnipotent. The Shenron on Earth had once stated that it couldn't defeat a boss whose power surpassed that of the Kami who created Shenron.

If Vegapunk wished to become the strongest in the universe, or to become Kai or Supreme Kai, he would have little hope of success. However, if we consider knowledge as a concept, it becomes a different story.

Although this knowledge, if fully applied, could potentially even defeat God of Destruction, it would theoretically be far more difficult than taking down Saiyan with a power level of 18,000. However, Shenron could easily collect this knowledge from all parts of the universe.

After hearing Vegapunk's explanation, Master Roshi breathed a slight sigh of relief. He was actually a little worried that Vegapunk might be reckless and ruin his students.

Now that I've heard Vegapunk's wish, even though I haven't seen Vegapunk scientific abilities, I have a lot of confidence in Vegapunk.

"I'd rather not do anything about human modification. As for lifespan? I've lived for several hundred years already. If I live any longer, I'll probably be called a monster. There's no need to add any more lifespan to me."

"All you need is some training equipment..."

"Are you sure you don't need my help to enhance it?"

Vegapunk smiled and took out a Battle Power Scanner —possessing the knowledge of the entire universe, creating a Battle Power Scanner was a piece of cake.

The principle behind the Battle Power Scanner is very simple. Even without knowledge from the universe, as long as the concept is proposed, people like Vegapunk, Dr. Brief, and Bulma can all create it.

The combat power testing device is easy to make, but the standard is hard to determine. After all, who knows how much strength a point of combat power in the universe corresponds to? Is it equivalent to a goose? Or a dog?

The only thing Vegapunk could compare it to was when Raditz, Son Goku's Raditz, descended and tested an ordinary Earth man's fighting power, which was five (a weakling). But Vegapunk didn't know whether that was the fighting power of an ordinary man or whether it included the gun in the man's hand.

This is precisely why Vegapunk didn't create a combat power testing device. Without knowing the specific standards, how could anyone know if the analyzed combat power values were accurate?

Fortunately, after absorbing the knowledge of the entire universe, Bejapunk can ensure that the Battle Power Scanner he creates is much more standardized than the one created by Frieza.

"Let me see... Master Roshi, your fighting power is 176? That's not a weak fighting power."

"However, I tested Kid Goku's fighting power with Battle Power Scanner today. His current fighting power is 173. The difference between your fighting power isn't that big. If you really fight, you might not be able to beat Kid Goku!"

"Battle Power Scanner? There are actually machines like that?"

Master Roshi paused for a moment, a look of confusion on his face, but he quickly realized that from the name, it must be a machine for testing combat power.

From a purely numerical analysis perspective, the difference between 176 combat points and 173 combat points is not that significant.

In reality, martial artists on Earth possess the ability to sense an opponent's strength using their ki, but since it's merely a sensing ability, the analysis is certainly not very clear.

Basically, perception can only give a rough sense that the opponent is much stronger than me, much weaker than me, or about the same as me. In comparison, the Battle Power Scanner, which is a completely digital analysis, is naturally much more effective.

However, while the Battle Power Scanner is accurate in measuring combat power, it can easily deceive those masters who can hide and unleash their combat power at will. In this respect, the perception ability of martial arts masters has the advantage.

"Master Roshi, you can also try it. Use this thing to test your apprentice's fighting strength. Compared to simply relying on pushing stones or sensing aura to estimate your apprentice's strength, this method of observing fighting strength using Battle Power Scanner is much more accurate."

Master Roshi reached out and took the Battle Power Scanner, immediately put it on his glasses, observed Vegapunk for a moment, and obtained a power level of 101.

However, Vegapunk's fighting power soon began to decline, until it dropped to three points.

Frowning slightly, Master Roshi sensed Vegapunk's suppressed aura and realized a flaw in the power level tester: if one suppressed their own aura, the power level measured by the Battle Power Scanner would be inaccurate.

However, Master Roshi doesn't care much about this weakness, since the Dragon Ball World is relatively peaceful right now, and Master Roshi is already the strongest.

He had no idea that the Dragon Ball World would soon usher in a magnificent era. Therefore, he did not equate the Battle Power Scanner with actual combat. On the contrary, if it were used to assist in training, having such a precise number to predict combat power would indeed be very beneficial to training.

Afterwards, Master Roshi obtained several Gravity Bracelets from Vegapunk. These Gravity Bracelets could adjust the gravity between 1.1 times and 10 times the normal gravity, which was more than enough for Krillin and Yamcha to train with.

After observing the Gravity Bracelets for a while, Master Roshi picked one up and put it on his wrist. Considering that Kid Goku's fighting power was three points lower than his own, yet he could already withstand 12 times the gravity, he directly adjusted the gravity to 10 times.

Well, then Master Roshi was pinned to the ground, almost spitting out blood—or rather, he already was, but he swallowed it back down.

Vegapunk smiled slightly. Fighting power and physical endurance are not the same thing. Master Roshi must have been making assumptions.

Kid Goku was able to withstand 12 times gravity largely because, as Saiyan, his genes were naturally adapted to 10 times gravity. However, Master Roshi did not have this ability. It was already a miracle that he did not die from internal organ failure after rashly adjusting to 10 times gravity.

"Cough cough cough, this thing is really powerful..."

After coughing twice and deactivating the Gravity Bracelets, Master Roshi wiped his mouth and stood up with an air of nonchalance. Vegapunk simply smiled politely at him.

"Alright, if Master Roshi is unwilling to accept my enhancement, then this is all the help I can give you. Of course, there are also some restorative high-energy drugs, which will also be very helpful for your training."

"However, those drugs are not fully prepared yet. When they come to me for body enhancement, I will give them to them directly."

Master Roshi nodded, looked at Vegapunk, and finally asked the question that had been lingering in his mind:

"Dr. Vegapunk, why do you seem so interested in Kid Goku and the others?"

Vegapunk answered without hesitation:

"It's very simple. How many martial artists on this earth can actually cultivate their own qi? If they can't even cultivate their own qi, they wouldn't be qualified to be my test subjects!"

Master Roshi left, and although the answer he received wasn't entirely satisfactory, it did put him at ease a little.

As Vegapunk himself said, there are very few martial artists in this world who can cultivate ki, and they are basically all in the Turtle School and Crane School. Faced with such a small number of experimental samples, Vegapunk obviously could not conduct any destructive experiments.

Furthermore, in Master Roshi's perception, Vegapunk's ki, while not exactly pure and flawless, was not the kind of person who was extremely evil. In fact, compared to his junior brother Master Shen, Vegapunk's ki gave off a much more righteous feeling.

On the evening of the second day, when Master Roshi and his three disciples finished their training and were preparing to go home, Vegapunk once again blocked their way and led them to his Laboratory.

Kid Goku and the other two looked like country bumpkins, marveling at the various advanced instruments and culture chambers in the Laboratory.

However, Vegapunk soon led the three to a place that looked like a fighting arena, with several incubation pods erected around it.

"Alright, now I can show you my latest technology!"

Vegapunk looked at Kid Goku and his two friends, a smile suddenly appearing on his face:

"Krillin, Yamcha, have either of you fought against Kid Goku?"

As soon as Vegapunk finished speaking, Yamcha and Krillin's expressions fell, while Master Roshi chuckled and said:

"They definitely fought, but even if Krillin and Yamcha combined, they were still a little bit short of defeating Kid Goku was wearing weights and Gravity Bracelets."

Nodding, Vegapunk glanced at the power level display on the power level tester. Yamcha was alright, with a power level of 28, which was already higher than that of Kid Goku when he first came out of the mountains.

As for Krillin? His combat power just reached 10, which is at least better than the trash with a combat power of 5...

After all, Krillin had been under Master Roshi's command for less than a month, and his foundation was very weak. The fact that he had ten points of combat power was already a testament to his hard work during that time.

Now let's look at Kid Goku's power level. It's 173 points, oh wait, it's 174 points now. The difference between the two is obvious.

In this situation, let alone the fact that Wukong was only carrying a weight and wearing Gravity Bracelets, it's safe to say that as long as he could still move, he could beat those two people down with just one hand!

In fact, Master Roshi was also quite troubled by this situation. His three disciples were progressing at completely different paces, making it difficult for them to spar.

Krillin and Yamcha are actually doing alright. Master Roshi can see that Krillin's only weakness is his foundation. Once he improves his foundation, he will be able to keep up with Yamcha's strength, and then they can naturally spar.

But Goku was too monstrous; even if Yamcha and Krillin used all their strength, they couldn't catch up with Kid Goku's exhaust fumes.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for his status as Goku's teacher, Master Roshi would have been the best opponent for Kid Goku.

It's just that if we lose, it will look really bad...

Even if he puts aside his pride and dignity as a master and spars with Kid Goku, given Kid Goku's rate of progress, he'll probably be completely outmatched in a month!

"So, do you two want to actually fight Kid Goku? I have a way that will allow you two to have fighting power completely comparable to Kid Goku when you team up!"

Vegapunk looked at Yamcha and Krillin and laid out a condition they couldn't refuse.

Krillin and Yamcha exchanged a surprised glance, while Master Roshi frowned and quietly asked Vegapunk:

"Hey, don't brag. With their skill level, let alone a fair fight, it's unlikely they can even withstand being instantly killed."

"Don't worry, the knowledge I've gained from the entire universe isn't just limited to science and technology; it also includes a lot of knowledge about martial arts. Some of the techniques are so amazing and profound that they far exceed the scope of the Turtle School!"

"What I want to do now is to use technological knowledge to recreate the abilities related to martial arts!"

Knowledge of the entire universe includes not only technology, but also martial arts? Master Roshi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened as he looked at Vegapunk.

This is no joke. How much martial arts knowledge is there in a universe? Master Roshi certainly couldn't calculate it. His own Turtle School is nothing more than a Flower Capital in the face of such vast content!

If he were young, it wouldn't be impossible for Master Roshi to have sought out Vegapunk as his master in order to gain this martial arts knowledge.

However, now that he is older, he knows very well that no matter how much he cultivates, he will not make much progress in martial arts, so his enthusiasm for martial arts has naturally dissipated.

Master Roshi glanced at his three disciples and breathed a sigh of relief. His disciples were able to come into contact with Vegapunk, and their future achievements would far exceed his imagination!

I wonder how far Kid Goku, with his talent and exposure to martial arts from across the universe, will progress? I imagine defeating Piccolo would be a piece of cake for him!

Just as Master Roshi was pondering, Krillin and Yamcha both took a step forward, their faces showing determination:

"Dr. Vegapunk, use whatever methods you have! To be able to fight Kid Goku at full power... that's something I'd love to do!"
