Master Roshi's Double Standards

The moment he sensed the ki!

"Dong! Boom!"

"Rumble!"

Loud explosions sounded in his ears, instantly waking Son Gohan, who had closed his eyes.

The next moment, he was already beside Bulma.

"Open your mouth!"

He shouted urgently, Son Gohan's hands covering Bulma's ears. At the same time, he twisted his body, and a powerful aura rose around him, enveloping his surroundings!

Bulma, who had been struggling to stand from the shockwave, was startled when she heard Son Gohan's voice. She instinctively did as he said and felt her ears being covered.

Tilting her head slightly, she looked at the boy protecting her, her face flushed with a deep crimson.

"Son-kun~"

Perhaps even she didn't know how soft her voice was at that moment, and perhaps she wouldn't have cared even if she did!

Bulma understood the sense of security this big boy in front of her gave her!

Master Roshi, standing on the high platform with his back to the crowd, subtly curved his lips when he sensed the aura emanating from Son Gohan. He seemed very satisfied, but quickly hid his expression, as if he had once again transformed into a frail old man.

"Oh my, the fire is out!"

As if sighing with emotion or perhaps playing, the small, thin old man shuffled down from the high platform.

However, this time, although he still had the same lecherous appearance, no one in the crowd dared to underestimate him!

Just then, the thick smoke dissipated, and as everyone looked, they saw that the hundred-zhang-tall mountain had vanished, leaving only ruins, let alone the castle on the mountain!

"Oh my, I'm so sorry. Although the fire is out, your castle was accidentally leveled too. I haven't gone all out in a long time, and it seems I miscalculated my strength!"

Master Roshi scratched his head, seeing the awkward scene.

Ox King was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do. He desperately told himself that this was his own master, and he couldn't defeat him anyway!

After a long while, he finally managed to compose himself.

"It's, it's okay, Master Mutaito. Castles can be rebuilt!"

"After the great fire is extinguished, this place will be more suitable for living. I wonder if you would like to live with us?"

"Since I graduated from your tutelage, I haven't had the chance to receive your teachings for a long time!"

Master Mutaito scratched his bald head upon hearing this and directly refused. What good would it be to live with a rough, burly man?

"No need, stop!"

"I'm used to living alone and I'm not used to living with others!"

Patting Ox King's thigh, Master Roshi gave a rare piece of advice.

"Little Ox, since the castle is gone, don't make a big fuss. Just build yourself a small house to have a place to stay. Your daughter is already this old, focus on raising her.

"You must know that if you walk by the river often, you'll eventually get your shoes wet. There's always someone better out there! If you only compete with others, you'll eventually meet a master."

"Not everyone is as sensible as Son Gohan!"

He didn't need to know much to know that with Ox King's old temper, it was impossible that he hadn't clashed with Son Gohan.

As for the result... looking at the kid who had already intuitively grasped the essence of Ki and was about to enter the path, it was self-evident.

Based on his last perception of Son Gohan's strength, he could completely hang Ox King up and beat him!

Ox King listened to Master Mutaito's teachings, and in a daze, he seemed to return to his childhood.

Overcome with emotion, he knelt down as if a golden mountain had collapsed and a jade pillar had fallen, weeping bitterly.

Master Roshi also felt a sense of emotion seeing this. He had lived for over three hundred years, and life and death separations had long become routine, but each experience still brought a unique reluctance.

"Foolish child, don't put on such a childish act. If you miss your teacher, just come to the island to visit!"

Patting Ox King's head, Master Roshi gave his final words of comfort.

After comforting Ox King, he instantly flashed to Son Gohan and the others.

His face, which had been full of sadness and reluctance, quickly broke into a smile, sending a shiver down anyone's spine!

"Good disciples, have you played enough? When are you coming back with your teacher to train martial arts?"

"How was my performance just now? Wasn't it incredibly cool!"

"Heh heh, I don't dare to boast about other things, but if you train with me for a while, you'll quickly surpass me!"

He smiled slyly, and coupled with his extremely flamboyant posture, he looked exactly like a human trafficker trying to abduct children.

This scene stunned not only Son Gohan and the others, but even Ox King, who was still sobbing beside them. He felt his emotions were all over the place.

"What? Teacher? You said you wanted to live alone!"

"Ahem, Master Mutaito, there's still one Dragon Ball left to find. Once we summon Shenron and fulfill our wish, we'll definitely come to you for training right away!"

Seeing Bulma, who was silently standing there and seemed about to erupt, Son Gohan quickly stated his plan, fearing that Bulma would lose her temper with Master Roshi at any moment.

"Old Grandpa Master Roshi, your Kamehameha wave just now was so powerful!"

Son Goku was full of admiration.

"You want to learn? I'll teach you!"

Seeing that his grand plan to abduct him had failed, Master Mutaito immediately shifted his target for temptation!

"Without my teaching, it would take fifty years to achieve this level of power!"

Son Goku looked at his ten fingers in a daze, as if trying to calculate how much time fifty years was.

After scratching his head for a long time, he decided not to think about it anymore. He watched as Bulma took out the Dragon Radar to search for the Dragon Balls.

He then ran to the side and began to imitate Master Mutaito's starting stance in a serious manner.

"Kamehameha!"

He pushed his palms forward. Without even gathering any power, a trickle of energy shot out from between his palms, directly hitting the rocks in front of him!

With a "boom!", a person and a cat crawled out from the shattered rocks, covered in dust.

Everyone watched this scene in shock, their mouths agape.

"How is this possible!"

Master Mutaito even pulled out a strand of his beard.

Son Gohan watched this scene with some emotion. Although he had sensed the flow of ki with his own senses just now and could instinctively use ki gathering, he wasn't sure if he could unleash a ki blast as smoothly as Son Goku!

This kind of talent was truly innate.

As for Yamcha and the others, Son Gohan didn't take them seriously.

After thinking for a moment, he began to communicate with Master Mutaito.

"Master Mutaito, why don't you let Goku go back with you first? At least you should lay a good foundation for him!"

"Hmm, that's actually a good idea!"

Master Mutaito's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed.
