First Meeting with Master Roshi, Master Roshi Knelt

Hearing that Tights also wanted to train, Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then reached out to pull her close and kissed her.

"Silly girl, what kind of martial arts are you looking to train in?"

In the year or so they had spent training on Earth, the relationship between Lin Chen and Tights had progressed by leaps and bounds, and the two had long since become a couple.

However, they weren't married, and Tights hadn't brought up the subject.

"It's not that you can't train, but if you really wanted to, why didn't you come to me in the first place?" Lin Chen asked.

Tights laughed. "You aren't even an Earthling, what could you teach me? Master Roshi is famous far and wide; he's the right person to go to."

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and nodded. "Fair point."

No sooner had they made their decision than Bulma suddenly chimed in from the side, "Brother Lin Chen, I want to learn martial arts too!"

"Bulma?" Lin Chen and Tights exclaimed in unison.

Tights put her hands on her hips. "Bulma, what are you stirring up trouble for?"

"How am I stirring up trouble? Big sister, I just want to train in martial arts!" Bulma explained.

In reality, however, she just wanted to spend more time with Lin Chen.

Although she was still just a little girl, Bulma's heart had already begun to stir.

In the original story, Bulma had been a bit of a romantic dreamer from the moment she appeared.

Though she was younger now than when she first appeared in the original timeline, Bulma had long since been captivated by Lin Chen.

It was only because her sister Tights had gotten together with Lin Chen first that the young girl had kept her feelings suppressed.

Lin Chen hadn't considered this, thinking only that it wouldn't be a bad idea for Bulma to get some practice in.

Even though the original story never mentioned Bulma having any talent for martial arts.

If she could train a little, it would at least give her some self-defense capabilities when she went on adventures with little Goku in the future.

Besides, given Lin Chen's strength, he certainly wouldn't be staying with Master Roshi for too long.

If Tights gave up early, so be it, but if she insisted on staying, having Bulma there would keep the sisters from getting bored.

Thus, Lin Chen persuaded Tights and agreed to bring Bulma along.

After bidding farewell to the Briefs, Lin Chen took the two sisters and flew toward Master Roshi's island.

Since he didn't know the exact location of Master Roshi's home, Lin Chen couldn't use Instant Transmission to go there directly.

Fortunately, he remembered that Master Roshi's home was supposed to be on an island in the middle of the ocean, so he flew the sisters straight out over the sea.

This time, Lin Chen was also carrying a new scouter made by Bulma.

She had redesigned it based on the Saiyans' portable scouters; although it was slightly larger than the original, it had no upper limit for detection.

In other words, this type of scouter wouldn't explode just because the target's power level exceeded a certain threshold.

Back when they were calibrating the precision of these devices, Lin Chen had even spent a few days acting as a test subject for Bulma.

Master Roshi knew how to sense ki, but in a non-combat state, he was just an ordinary old man; if Lin Chen had tried to find him by sensing his ki, it would have been very difficult.

But with Bulma's new scouter, Lin Chen quickly located Master Roshi.

"Bulma, this scouter is really useful!"

"Is it?" Flattered by Lin Chen's praise, Bulma blushed. "Brother Lin Chen, there are a hundred more in the capsules I gave you, so take those for now. My dad has the blueprints, so if you need more in the future, you can just have him make them for you."

Meanwhile, on a small island in the middle of the vast ocean, Master Roshi was sitting in front of the television with a roll of paper, watching a sexy yoga instructor's lesson while using the paper to stop his nosebleed.

Nearby, a Sea Turtle lay under the window, leisurely basking in the sun.

Just then, Master Roshi gave a start, jumped up from in front of the TV, and hurried out of the room.

"Master Roshi, what's wrong?" the Sea Turtle asked, chasing after him in confusion.

"A terrifyingly powerful ki is approaching us!"

Cold sweat beaded on Master Roshi's forehead. The ki he sensed was hundreds, if not thousands, of times greater than that of King Piccolo, who had been like a nightmare to him in the past!

Who on earth could it be?

How could anyone possess such terrifying strength?

"They're here!"

As Master Roshi spoke, his muscles immediately bulged.

The approach of this powerful, unidentified existence triggered his instincts, causing him to react like an animal sensing danger.

Just then, three figures descended from the sky and landed on the beach.

"Wow! Is this Master Roshi's home?"

"What a remote island! No wonder no one knows where Master Roshi lives."

Master Roshi, whose muscles had been bulging, instantly seemed to deflate, his serious expression replaced by a lecherous grin.

"Greetings, beautiful ladies! What brings you here?"

Master Roshi's gaze fell upon the sisters, lingering particularly on Tights, who was dressed in a light, revealing outfit that accentuated her curvaceous figure.

Yet the very next moment, Master Roshi suddenly noticed Lin Chen stepping out from behind the two sisters, Tights and Bulma.

Beads of sweat instantly broke out across his face.

So, the terrifying aura he had sensed just moments ago had actually been emanating from this man.

Lin Chen looked at the power level of 20 displayed on his scouter for Master Roshi, thinking to himself that the old man truly kept his aura suppressed at all times.

If not for Bulma's scouter, it would have been nearly impossible for him to detect the presence of someone with a power level of only 20 in the middle of this vast ocean.

"Hello, Master Mutaito," Lin Chen said with a friendly smile.

"What business do you have with me?" Master Roshi asked, his expression tense.

Lin Chen replied, "Master Mutaito, my name is Lin Chen. This is my girlfriend, Tights, and this is her sister, Bulma. We've come from West City, hoping to become your students and learn the martial arts!"

"Become my students?" Master Roshi looked stunned.

"Young man, you're far stronger than I am. Do you really need to seek tutelage from me?"

Lin Chen answered, "Of course. Master Mutaito is known as the God of Martial Arts and has mastered a variety of techniques. By comparison, I only know some brute force; I cannot compare to you at all. Besides, it's not just me—Tights and Bulma also wish to receive your guidance."

"Ahem..."

Master Roshi coughed, feeling a bit carried away. He hadn't expected to be so famous that even a guy with such terrifying strength would want to become his student.

If he ran into Master Shen in the future, he would certainly have something to brag about.

"Taking on students isn't impossible, but I, Mutaito, have conditions for those who wish to learn from me. You..."

Just as Master Roshi was about to state his requirements, a flash of white light appeared before his eyes. He saw Lin Chen raise his hand and fire a ki blast toward the distant surface of the ocean.

BOOM!

A staggering mushroom cloud erupted suddenly from the sea.

Lin Chen turned his head and looked at Master Roshi with an innocent expression. "Master Mutaito, what were you saying just now? Oh? Why are you kneeling on the ground, Master?"

"I..." Master Roshi sniffled. "Welcome to the Turtle School!"
