Prey

Legends about Kami have existed on Earth for a long time, but these legends were previously only passed down among ancient martial arts schools. Now, they have been made public without reservation. This sudden change is like a boulder being thrown into a calm lake, causing an extremely strong sensation.

"There are Kami on the Korin Tower."

"The Kami have resurrected all those who died under King Piccolo, and now they will publicly teach martial arts to the world."

The news spread like wildfire throughout the world, causing a sensation. Martial arts enthusiasts rushed to Korin Tower, making the Korin's Sacred Land overflowing with people. Of course, it would be a simplistic view to think that simply going to Korin Tower would grant one Kami guidance.

They would soon discover that the towering, unreachable Korin Tower was the first challenge standing before them.

Only by climbing the Korin Tower and gaining the approval of the Korin can one be qualified to continue upwards to the Kami's Lookout and receive guidance from the Kami. If you can't even climb the Korin Tower, then sorry, those who can't even pass the first hurdle will definitely not see the Kami, and should just go back early.

Although the martial arts world on Earth is currently facing a shortage of talent and urgently needs new generations, the ancient rules naturally have their reasons for existing and cannot be changed because of this.

Martial arts training is a gradual process. Without a solid foundation, even the most profound teacher will not be very effective. How can someone who can't even climb the Korin Tower understand the Korin's or even the Kami' understanding of martial arts? It's like someone who didn't graduate from elementary school suddenly attending a mathematician's lectures; besides feeling drowsy, they won't gain much.

Those who rushed to the Korin's Sacred Land were mostly like that; the vast majority were just there to join the crowd and admire the grandeur of the Korin Tower.

Despite the inherent difficulty, and despite the Earth Kingdom's promotion of the challenging climb of the Korin Tower, many people remain undeterred, and the Korin's Sacred Land continues to attract a steady stream of visitors.

There was no other way. In order to prevent these people from hindering true martial artists from challenging Korin Tower, the Earth Kingdom had to set up numerous obstacles around Korin Tower and conduct assessments on everyone. Only those who passed the basic assessments were qualified to challenge Korin Tower.

Once implemented, this method indeed reduced the number of personnel significantly, and it gradually evolved into a formal assessment procedure.

In the desert and Gobi, yellow sand flies everywhere.

The scorching sun beat down on the ground, and the scorching sand looked as if it had just been taken out of a furnace, steaming with boiling heat.

In a place filled with pebbles, Yamcha carried a large knife and patrolled the Gobi Desert. He picked up his binoculars to observe the distance and sighed helplessly. Apart from the endless yellow sand, there wasn't a single person in sight. Life was getting harder and harder.

"Young Master Yamcha, there's no one here anymore." Puar flew through the air.

"Hmm." Yamcha hummed in agreement, putting away his binoculars. "After the new city was built, this place is no longer a major trade route. Perhaps we should leave."

"Where does Young Master Yamcha plan to go?"

Yamcha thought for a moment and said, "Martial arts are all the rage now, and there are martial arts practitioners everywhere. With my skills, I can definitely make a living. Staying here as a wanderer would seem a bit too low-class... Puar, why don't we try opening a martial arts school in a nearby city? Maybe it will be very promising."

"Great, Young Master Yamcha can definitely do it, but what about the students? Do we need both boys and girls?"

Yamcha thought of those terrifying women sent shivers down Le Ping's spine. He said directly, "No, we absolutely cannot accept those terrifying women. We only recruit male students."

"Young Master Yamcha should do whatever he wants."

Puar obeyed orders without question, following Yamcha's lead. Yamcha laughed heartily, then packed his luggage, put all his belongings into the Hoi-Poi Capsule, and drove a jet-powered off-road vehicle toward a nearby city.

Meanwhile, the Lazuli siblings were also traveling the world. Over the course of several months, the two siblings visited many martial arts schools, and their strength began to slowly increase.

The Demon Realm.

A dark red light shone down from the sky, spreading across the ground as if stained with blood, filling the entire field of vision with a sinister and cold feeling.

Roland continued to challenge powerful Demon Clan on the Demon Realm continent. As a beam of light streaked across the sky, a powerful aura caught his attention.

"Hmm? Such strong energy, coming from two thousand kilometers to the northwest!"

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the northwest, Roland paused for a moment, then adjusted his position and flew straight towards that aura.

As he flew, the surrounding mountains began to rise and fall, and towering forests gradually appeared. A majestic mountain range stretching for thousands of miles blocked his way. Roland knew that beyond the mountain range in front of him was the place where that powerful aura was located.

The target's aura grew closer and clearer, its strength comparable to Frieza in his ultimate form, with a power level exceeding 100 million.

"170 million combat power..." A glint flashed in Roland's eyes, and a calm smile crept onto his lips.

"He's even stronger than Frieza's Ultimate Form. It seems I can't defeat him without using the power of my Golden Eyes." He couldn't help but feel excited. This was the first person he had encountered with a combat power exceeding 100 million since entering the Demon Realm. From here on out, the opponents would only get stronger.

Thinking of this, Roland suddenly accelerated, a powerful wake swirling behind him like a blade, and a lightning-like streak flashed across the sky.

Geo is the one who exudes this aura. As Demon Clan, his strength is considered quite powerful in the Demon Realm. However, because he understands the dangers of the Demon Realm, he only dares to live near the central part of the Demon Realm continent and does not dare to go to the more central areas.

On this day, Geo returned from his hunt as usual, his sharp claws still stained with the green blood of his prey.

"Hmm?" Geo's expression changed slightly. He looked up at the sky, his beastly instincts telling him something. He stared for a long time but found nothing.

"Wait, a powerful energy is approaching... wait, only 8 million combat power?"

Geo was somewhat skeptical. The Demon Realm was a place where the strong preyed on the weak, and every Demon Clan had its own territory to live in. Stepping outside that territory would cost you your life. Even someone as strong as Geo himself only dared to guard his own small territory. He didn't know how a weak Demon Clan with only 8 million combat power would dare to enter his territory.

"Heh heh, another reckless Demon Clan. He dares to leave the territory in a hurry before even learning the survival rules of the Demon Realm. We can have an extra meal today." Geo stuck out his tongue, his whole body exuding a fierce aura accompanied by a vast energy fluctuation, as if he were wrapped in a layer of dark armor.

Cannibalism is a means for the Demon Clan to become stronger; weaker Demon Clan serve as nourishment for stronger Demon Clan.

"Whoosh!"

Roland descended from the sky, the whirlwind from his landing sending up a cloud of dust. His eyes scanned the Demon Clan opposite him, and he nodded to himself, "Hmm, that aura, exactly 170 million combat power. Fighting him will allow me to quickly accumulate experience!"

Without saying anything more, Roland let out a low shout and directly increased the energy within his body.

A pale red light flashed, his dark hair began to stand on end, and his eyes instantly turned pale gold. To deal with the Demon Clan before him, he didn't need the Super Saiyan form; the Golden Eyes state was enough.

Instantly, a terrifying energy of up to 160 million units spread out.

Sensing the powerful energy emanating from his opponent, Geo's expression suddenly turned grim. What was going on? This seemingly weak Demon Clan had suddenly become evenly matched with him. Was he playing dumb to catch a shrew? Geo's eyes flickered, unable to make up his mind.
