Zhou Zilong Defeats Yamcha in One Move

Knowing that Young Goku was unharmed, Zhou Zilong stood up and walked toward Yamcha to end this battle quickly.

Seeing Zhou Zilong approach, Yamcha wore a look of disdain: "What? Realizing your strongest fighter is out of commission, you're scared and coming to offer me money to save your life, you big-talking fool!"

Zhou Zilong shook his head and replied indifferently: "You can't even beat a hungry child, so what are you provoking me for? I haven't made a move yet because one strike is all it takes to deal with you!"

These words made Yamcha's heart burn with rage, and he shot an angry glare on the spot.

Regarding Yamcha, this tragic figure in Dragon Ball, Zhou Zilong didn't have much of an opinion; if he had to describe his feelings, it would be a mix of pity and regret.

In his view, Yamcha was a tragic character who peaked at the very beginning only to fall rapidly.

Yamcha, the warrior who debuted as a desert bandit in the first Dragon Ball anime, possessed decent strength in the world of Dragon Ball, yet he lacked the dazzling halo of a protagonist and could only linger on the fringes.

Every time he thought he was about to reach his peak, fate would always deal him a heavy blow (he could never break past the top eight in the Martial Arts Tournament).

Especially in his duel against the Saibaman, where he held the advantage in strength but was blown up by his opponent due to carelessness—that scene became his classic signature moment.

As for his love life, Yamcha's experiences were even more sigh-inducing. Under the original author's arrangement, he should have reached the pinnacle of life with a wealthy and beautiful girlfriend, but after a series of twists, he was written into a breakup. By contrast, Goku's best path to strength (his best friend) Krillin was much luckier; though his strength couldn't compare to the Saiyans, he was at least the strongest human, married a beautiful wife, and was a true winner in life.

"Damn it, looking at me with pitying eyes! Stop looking down on me, I, Yamcha, am extremely strong!" Yamcha roared in anger, his eyes flashing with fury.

He launched another fierce attack, but Zhou Zilong handled it with ease.

"The gap between our strength is too great. It's over!" Zhou Zilong said calmly.

Zhou Zilong clenched his fist and swung it hard, a powerful shockwave instantly sweeping across the entire desert.

Hit by this shockwave, Yamcha was sent flying backward, only stopping when he smashed into a large rock behind him.

"Pfft!" Yamcha spat out a mouthful of blood. He struggled to stand up, his eyes filled with unwillingness and shock. He had never imagined he would be defeated so miserably, while Zhou Zilong stood where he was, watching him with calm composure.

"Young Master Yamcha, are you alright!" Puar flew to Yamcha's side, asking with concern.

"I'm fine. He was right; I'm no match for him at all. He wasn't just talking big." Yamcha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and took a deep breath, calming his inner emotions.

"With that last move, I could clearly feel he held back. Otherwise, I wouldn't have just spat out a mouthful of blood and been done with it." Yamcha carefully savored the process, realizing the gap between himself and Zhou Zilong was truly too vast. He knew he needed to train much harder to catch up to this powerful opponent.

"I've learned my lesson. I will definitely settle this defeat another day!" Yamcha took a deep breath and said. He knew his current strength was far from enough, but he believed that as long as he trained hard, he would one day defeat Zhou Zilong.

"You are welcome to try anytime, but to be blunt, you will never be able to settle this in your lifetime!" Zhou Zilong replied indifferently.

He didn't mean to look down on Yamcha; he was just stating the truth. He knew he possessed strength that transcended ordinary people, and it was nearly impossible for Yamcha to catch up to him.

"Hmph, stop looking down on people!" Yamcha replied unhappily, then left with Puar. He knew what he needed to do now was train hard to improve his strength.

"It's a good thing he didn't attack me back then, or I would definitely be dead," Oolong said, watching this scene with lingering fear.

At this moment, Young Goku emerged from the pile of rocks and ran excitedly to Zhou Zilong, asking with anticipation: "Zilong, how did you do that move just now? Can you teach me?"

Zhou Zilong smiled slightly and said: "This move isn't actually difficult, but you need to learn to control your ki first. Come, let's go somewhere else, and I'll teach you slowly!"

With that, Zhou Zilong took Young Goku to a training hall created by Capsule Technology. It was spacious, bright, and fully equipped—a perfect place for cultivation.

Zhou Zilong sat cross-legged on the ground and began to demonstrate how to draw ki out of the body.

He separated his hands in a circular motion, then slowly inhaled. As his hands began to move, a faint glow gradually appeared in his palms, and a small orange ball of light formed in his hands.

Young Goku watched, dumbfounded. He had never seen such a magical sight. He couldn't wait to imitate Zhou Zilong and began trying to draw his ki out. However, he wasn't successful at first; he always felt his energy darting around inside his body, unable to focus.

Seeing this, Zhou Zilong patiently guided him: "Goku, don't be anxious. Controlling ki requires a calm mind; you cannot be impatient. You must first settle your heart and feel the flow of energy within you!"

Young Goku nodded, closed his eyes, and began to try. He worked hard to calm his heart and feel the flow of energy. Gradually, he felt a warm current flowing through his body, as if a small stream were running inside him. Following the direction of this warm current, he slowly moved his hands.

Finally, after countless attempts over the course of an hour, Young Goku successfully drew the energy out of his body, and an identical small orange ball of light formed in his hands.

He opened his eyes excitedly, looked at the ball of light in his hands, and couldn't help but cheer.

Zhou Zilong also showed a gratified smile. He patted Young Goku on the shoulder and said: "Congratulations, Goku. You have successfully mastered the technique of drawing ki out of your body. However, this is just the beginning. If you want to become a true powerhouse, you must continue to train and learn!"

Young Goku nodded, his eyes flashing with a determined light. He knew his path was still very long, but he believed that as long as he trained hard, he would one day become a master like Zhou Zilong.

After practicing with Young Goku for a while longer, Zhou Zilong said to him: "Goku, your foundation needs to be more stable. Once this journey to find the Dragon Balls is over, you can go find my master, Master Mutian, and become his disciple so he can teach you more martial arts knowledge!"

Young Goku replied obediently: "Mm, okay! I understand!"
