The Match Ends

Master Roshi rubbed his chin and spoke calmly. Then his expression turned grave, and he said in a low voice:

"Seeing you're this strong puts my mind at ease. Now I'm going to use my secret technique. If you can't take it, surrender!"

With that, Master Roshi furrowed his brows, his expression growing stern. He pressed his palms tightly together, and faint bolts of lightning began to circle his body, steadily gathering between his hands!

"Thunder Shock Surprise!"

Ha!

Master Roshi thrust out both palms, and powerful bolts of lightning shot forth, enveloping Ziye from head to toe. The fierce electric current made Ziye's body jerk, and then a violent pain surged through him!

"Ah!"

"What is that? Ziye looks like he's in a lot of pain!" Goku said in confusion.

"Ziye..."

Bulma covered her mouth and called out, her face full of worry.

"Ziye, surrender! If this goes on, you'll die!" Master Roshi said gravely.

"What the hell is this?!"

"I've converted all my power into an electric current of tens of thousands of watts. Your body can't withstand it. Give up!"

At his words, Ziye furrowed his brows. The intense pain nearly made him lose consciousness, and his head began to spin.

Then, the scene of Master Roshi performing his technique replayed over and over in Ziye's mind. Memories from his previous life seemed to merge with it. His lips moved as he murmured, "Electric current? The law of energy conversion?"

"I understand."

"Ah..."

The next moment, Ziye's eyes snapped open. He thrust out both palms, and the power throughout his body began transforming!

"What are you trying to do?"

"N-no way! That's impossible!"

Master Roshi stared in disbelief.

"Thunder Shock Surprise!"

Ziye's expression turned stern. The electric current surrounding him slowly gathered between his palms. He let out a shout, and the powerful current struck back, passing through Ziye's body and flowing toward Master Roshi.

"Argh!"

Master Roshi's expression changed dramatically. He hurriedly brought his hands together, but the bone-deep pain made him cry out. His wig was instantly reduced to ash, and he collapsed to the ground in a wretched heap!

"M-Master Mutten?"

Krillin stared at Master Roshi, who had returned to his normal appearance, and spoke in astonishment.

"Huh?"

"Why does that old man look so much like the other old man?"

"Oh! I get it! They must be relatives!" Goku said, his eyes lighting up.

At this, Krillin rolled his eyes and decided not to bother with Goku anymore!

"Teacher, what other moves do you have? Bring them out! That's the only way I can become even stronger!" Ziye said smugly, rubbing his nose.

"Heh, Ziye, you're really something!"

Master Roshi chuckled, then slowly stood up, a look of relief on his face. He spoke again:

"Seeing you all grow this much makes me truly happy!"

With that, Master Roshi turned and walked toward the edge of the ring. Then he leaped down!

"Teacher!"

Seeing this, Ziye's heart tightened, and he murmured softly.

"W-what exactly is going on? Jackie Chun has jumped out of the ring on his own! The winner of this match is Ziye!"

As the referee's voice rang out again, the entire audience erupted. After all, the match had been incredibly exciting.

"What? So Jackie Chun was that perverted old man in disguise! He dressed up like this to bully my Ziye. What a jerk!" Bulma said with a pout, looking displeased.

"Since when did Ziye become yours? He hasn't even accepted you, has he?" Oolong said, rolling his eyes.

"Bang!"

"Mind your own business!"

Bulma punched Oolong on the head and shouted angrily.

"Congratulations to Ziye for winning the match!"

"I never expected the final to feature two of Master Mutten's finest students. I'm sure they'll give us an incredibly exciting match!"

"After a one-hour break, the championship match of the World Martial Arts Tournament will begin. Let's wait and see!"

As the referee made his announcement, Ziye left the ring amid the crowd's cheers. The moment he stepped backstage, Goku came running over, thrilled.

"Ziye, congratulations!"

"Get some rest. Our match is next, and I can hardly wait!"

At that, Ziye smiled and nodded, then headed to the waiting room!

Soon, an hour passed, and Ziye's strength had recovered. He opened the waiting room door and returned to the ring.

"Welcome, everyone, to the final of the World Martial Arts Tournament! Who will take home the championship? Let's wait and see!"

"I now declare the match underway!"

Clang!

As the gong sounded, Goku attacked Ziye without hesitation. He knew how strong Ziye was, so he launched a fierce assault right from the start!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two figures darted back and forth across the ring, exchanging dozens of blows in the blink of an eye.

"Ziye, show me everything you've got!" Goku said gravely.

"Then you'd better watch out!"

Ziye gave a light laugh and stepped forward, settling into a bow-shaped stance. Then he slowly cupped his hands at his waist as white energy began to gather between them.

"Kamehameha!"

With a loud shout from Ziye, a beam of white energy shot forward. Goku didn't back down and unleashed his own Kamehameha. The two surges of energy collided, and an explosion rang out, bursting into a dazzling light!

The next second, Goku's body flew backward and crashed heavily onto the ring.

Whoosh!

In the next instant, Ziye moved swiftly to Goku's side. Before Goku could even get up, Ziye reached out and grabbed his tail.

"Goku, you've lost!" Ziye said with a smile.

Goku's expression changed when Ziye grabbed his tail. All strength instantly left his body, and he collapsed limply onto the ground, gasping, "H-how did you know that was my weakness?"

"You don't need to know. Just remember to fix that weakness this time. I'll gladly take the championship!"

With that, Ziye grabbed Goku by the tail and swung him out of the ring.

"Sun Wukong has fallen out of the ring! Congratulations to Ziye for winning the World Martial Arts Tournament and the prize of five hundred thousand yuan!" The referee climbed into the ring, took Ziye's right hand, and raised it as he announced excitedly.

"What a shame! Ziye, once I overcome my weakness, I'll challenge you again!" Goku stood up and said seriously.

"Sure. I'll be waiting!"
