Master Roshi Appears

The three returned to the house.

Looking at the single bed in the bedroom, Hao Shuai took the initiative to say, "Bulma, you sleep on the bed! Goku, you sleep on the floor, and I'll just meditate on the sofa."

"Goku sleeping on the floor is fine. Brother Hao, you can sleep with me on the bed," Bulma said, blushing and lowering her head shyly.

"Ah, I'll just sleep on the sofa," Hao Shuai refused with a pang of regret.

Although Bulma was only sixteen, her figure was exceptionally well-developed. If he were to lie on the same bed with her like this, Hao Shuai feared he might turn into a beast. Moreover, with his looks, Hao Shuai was confident Bulma wouldn't refuse, but Goku was still here. Hao Shuai had no intention of giving Goku a lesson in physiology, so he could only refuse painfully.

Ignoring Bulma and Goku's nonsensical conversation, Hao Shuai sat cross-legged on the sofa and began to meditate with his eyes closed, practicing the Purple Haze Divine Skill.

After circulating the energy for a full cycle, Hao Shuai opened his eyes. He felt his Internal Energy had increased significantly and thought to himself, No wonder animals can talk. So it's because the energy in the air in this world is very high, the so-called spiritual energy or vital energy is abundant, accelerating the evolution of animals. I guess ordinary humans here have good physical fitness and long lifespans.

At the same time, Hao Shuai thought about his fight with Goku just now. Goku was purely relying on brute force, his application of strength being very crude. He recalled that even in the later stages of Dragon Ball, the Dragon Ball warriors still engaged in close-quarters combat.

The reason for this was probably because this world was rich in vital energy. As long as martial artists trained diligently, they could absorb the energy in the air, the vital energy, into their bodies and store it in their cells, forming what is called Ki, thereby strengthening themselves. Therefore, there was no need to develop too many skillful techniques; one only needed to pursue strength.

Why were Earthlings unable to defeat aliens like Saiyans and Namekians in the later stages? It was likely because their physiques were different, and the amount of Ki they could absorb and store far exceeded that of Earthlings, naturally making them stronger.

Techniques like the Kamehameha should be moves that concentrate the Ki within the body and release it all at once. This was also why Goku and the others would become weak and exhausted after using the Kamehameha and similar moves.

The Ki in the Dragon Ball world, the Chakra in the Naruto world, the Spiritual Energy in the Bleach world, and the Internal Energy in the Wuxia world should all be the same principle. The difference was only in the way they absorbed and utilized the energy from the air.

Although Ki had immense destructive power, capable of destroying planets in the later stages, Ki cultivation required diligent practice and constant combat to improve. Most importantly, no matter how powerful Ki became, it couldn't grant immortality, nor could it even resist diseases. For Hao Shuai, who feared death and was lazy, this was somewhat useless. Internal Energy, with its shortcuts, was more suitable for him.

After figuring this out, Hao Shuai closed his eyes and continued to meditate to pass the time!

When Hao Shuai opened his eyes again, he looked out the window. The sky had brightened. Hao Shuai had actually meditated all night, which was rare!

Seeing Goku still fast asleep and Bulma sleeping in a very ungraceful posture, Hao Shuai didn't wake them. He went into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. When he came out, he happened to see Goku waking up and preparing to climb onto Bulma's lap as in the plot.

Hao Shuai immediately stopped Goku and took him outside, teaching him a good lesson with his fists about the difference between men and women.

After educating Goku, Hao Shuai went back into the house to wake Bulma and went to prepare breakfast himself. When Hao Shuai had finished preparing breakfast and went out to call Goku for a meal, he saw Goku happily playing with a sea turtle. This sea turtle looked quite large, its eyes were filled with human-like divine light, and it could also speak human language.

"Brother Hao, this old turtle grandpa is lost and wants to go back to the sea. Shall we send him back to the sea?" Goku called out happily when he saw Hao Shuai come out.

Before Hao Shuai could answer, Bulma walked out. Seeing the sea turtle next to Goku, she directly said, "Goku, did you catch this sea turtle for breakfast?"

"Don't eat me, my meat doesn't taste good!..." Bulma's words startled the sea turtle, which turned and began to crawl away, shouting as it went.

Bulma exclaimed, "It's a talking sea turtle? I wonder how it tastes?"

Hao Shuai chuckled from the side, "What's so surprising about that? The dinosaur that kidnapped you yesterday could also talk, and it tasted quite good, very tender and delicious."

Hearing Hao Shuai's words, the great sea turtle turned pale with fright, and crawled even harder.

"Alright, we were just kidding. We won't eat you. Come in!" Hao Shuai comforted the terrified sea turtle.

Goku also said from the side, "Don't be afraid, I won't eat you!"

After entering the house and seeing Hao Shuai and the other two preparing to eat breakfast, the great sea turtle spoke, "I'm sorry, could I trouble you for a glass of salt water? And if possible, could you add some kelp?"

"What a picky turtle. But I don't have any kelp here!" Bulma complained.

"I'll prepare it!" Hao Shuai's space contained all the supplies from two or three supermarkets, so he had everything.

Hao Shuai took out some dried kelp from his space and cooked a large pot of kelp soup for the great sea turtle.

The great sea turtle slurped down the entire pot of kelp soup in one go, let out a satisfied belch, and showed a contented turtle smile. He thanked them, "Thank you for your hospitality. This is the best kelp soup I've ever had!"

Then the great sea turtle said that he had been lost for a year and had been looking for the way back to the sea.

Bulma told the great sea turtle that they were still more than a hundred kilometers away from the sea.

Hearing this, the great sea turtle could only beg Hao Shuai and the others again to send him back to the seaside. Otherwise, with his speed, he probably wouldn't be able to reach the sea in the rest of his life.

Knowing that the great sea turtle was raised by Master Roshi, Hao Shuai readily agreed. Bulma never objected to Hao Shuai's decisions.

After the meal, Bulma packed up the house, took out the car, and tied the sea turtle to the roof of the car. The three of them and the turtle set off towards the sea, more than a hundred kilometers away.

When they were still two kilometers from the coastline, the three of them and the turtle encountered a large bear blocking their way to rob them. It was a talking bear.

This great bear demon was about five to six meters tall, with a large saber more than three meters long tucked at its waist.

Hao Shuai was too lazy to get out of the car for such a small fry. He directly said to Goku, "Goku, I'll leave it to you. Make it quick."

Goku, excited at the prospect of a fight, immediately got out of the car and walked towards the great bear. The great bear directly swung its large saber at Goku.

Unfortunately, the bear demon's massive size made its movements slow. Goku dodged its attacks with ease every time. Finally, he jumped onto the bear demon's nose and punched its nasal bone, breaking it.

Blood gushed from the bear demon's nose, and it fell to the ground, unconscious.

Hao Shuai got out of the car, placed a palm on the bear's head, and then put the corpse into his space. After all, bear paws were a good thing and shouldn't be wasted.

After dealing with the great bear, the three of them and the turtle continued their journey. In a short while, they reached the seaside.

Seeing the vast ocean, the sea turtle excitedly crawled into the sea, thanking the three of them as it went. After entering the sea, it turned back and told them, "Please wait a moment, I must repay you!" With that, it abandoned its clumsiness on land, dove into the sea, and disappeared without a trace.

Goku, seeing the ocean for the first time, was also very excited. He jumped into the sea and played to his heart's content. He even took a sip of seawater, his face falling as he spat it out, "The seawater is so salty!"

Hao Shuai took out two beach chairs and lay down on them with Bulma, drinking iced beverages and comfortably sunbathing.

A moment later, Goku, who was playing on the shore, shouted:

"Hey, you guys, come quickly! That sea turtle is back, and it's carrying an old man!"

With his shout, he instantly drew the attention of Bulma and Hao Shuai. He got up and looked, "It's true!"

Soon, the turtle swam to the shore. Hao Shuai examined the old man sitting on the turtle. He looked about seventy or eighty years old, with a bald head and white beard, a hunched posture, wearing slippers, holding a wooden cane, and carrying a giant turtle shell on his back.

Hao Shuai knew from his attire that this was Master Roshi, known to the world as the "God of Martial Arts." He appeared to be a lecherous old man on the surface, but in reality, he was a warrior who dared to sacrifice his life to eliminate evil.

"Good afternoon, everyone," Master Roshi greeted, his round, bald head gleaming in the sunlight.

Bulma said, "What a fashionable old grandpa."

"I heard you saved the turtle," Master Roshi said.

Before he could finish, Goku interjected, "Grandpa, who are you?"

Master Roshi jumped off the turtle's back and introduced himself, "My name is Master Roshi." Then he turned to the turtle and asked, "Who saved you?"

"The three of them saved me together and made me delicious kelp soup," the turtle replied.

"Hmm, the three of them saved you? It seems I must properly thank the three of them," Master Roshi murmured, stroking his chin.
