Krillin's Achievement

"Isn't it over? Why are they fighting again?" Son Goku asked, puzzled.

Krillin said, "I suppose Yamcha just isn't willing to accept it."

"I told him already, my big brother is very strong, but he didn't seem to take it seriously." Son Goku took one look and added, "Yamcha is probably going to lose again."

"Huh?" Krillin hadn't noticed that, but he knew for certain that Yamcha couldn't beat Li Shu.

Sure enough, just as Son Goku finished speaking, Li Shu delivered another side kick, once again striking first by moving second, his speed so fast that Yamcha couldn't react at all.

Bang!

Yamcha's offensive stance stalled instantly, his body arching as he clutched his abdomen and knelt on the ground in pain, though he wasn't sent flying like last time.

Li Shu felt his control over his strength had improved just a little bit more.

"I concede." Li Shu took out another Senzu Bean, fed it to Yamcha, and helped him up.

Yamcha stood up in silence, looking somewhat disheartened.

Li Shu sensed something was wrong; if Yamcha gave up just like that, how was he supposed to complete his achievement mission?

No, he had to find a way to keep bluffing.

"Got it!" Li Shu's brain raced, and he instantly thought of a plan. "Yamcha, to tell you the truth, I actually drank the Super Holy Water, which increased my strength several times over. This isn't fair to you; if you also drank the Super Holy Water, I'm afraid I wouldn't be your match."

"Super Holy Water?" Hearing this, Yamcha's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Shu with hope; he had finally found the reason for the gap in their strength.

Li Shu said earnestly, "The Super Holy Water is at the top of Korin Tower. A Korin lives there, and if you pass his test, you can drink the Super Holy Water. The Senzu Bean I gave you was also given to me by the Korin."

"Alright, once I drink the Super Holy Water, I'll come back to challenge you!" Yamcha regained his fighting spirit, asked for the location of Korin Tower, and hurried away.

Watching Yamcha's retreating back, Li Shu hadn't expected the guy to be so easy to fool.

"Big brother, can the Super Holy Water really increase your strength several times over?" Son Goku asked suddenly.

Krillin also looked at Li Shu intently; both of them were eager to obtain greater power.

Li Shu laughed, "Of course. Once the Martial Arts Tournament is over, you two can go try it out as well."

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the Martial Arts Tournament Hall, and both Son Goku and Krillin curiously sized up the other quarter-finalists.

Li Shu had a deep impression of this episode; even after decades, he clearly remembered that a heavyweight character was about to appear, someone who would shock the entire venue the moment he stepped out.

"Good thing I prepared in advance." Li Shu pulled out a pair of nose plugs, blocked his nostrils, and then put on a gas mask.

"Big brother, what are you doing?" Son Goku and Krillin both looked at Li Shu in confusion.

Li Shu took out another set of gas masks and nose plugs and handed them to Son Goku, "You'll know in a moment."

"What about me?" Krillin asked hurriedly. Seeing Li Shu's serious demeanor, he wanted one too.

"You?" Li Shu carefully examined Krillin's face and laughed, "You don't have a nose, you don't need this stuff."

Li Shu's strange behavior drew the attention of the other quarter-finalists; some were curious, while others sneered.

The next second, the expressions of these people changed in unison; they all covered their noses and looked toward the entrance in horror.

A disheveled, shirtless brute walked into the venue with heavy steps, followed by a swarm of flies.

A large drop of saliva hung from the corner of his mouth, and his entire body exuded a foul, unbearable stench.

"Who is this guy?" Krillin asked in terror, covering his non-existent nose.

Li Shu explained, "He's a savage. It's said that he hasn't bathed since the day he was born, cultivating an astonishing constitution of [Super Body Odor]."

Son Goku curiously lifted his mask just a tiny bit; he wanted to see just how bad it smelled.

The next moment, Son Goku's face changed drastically, and he slammed his gas mask back on, his face full of lingering fear.

The referee couldn't take it either, covering his nose and shouting, "Mr. Savage, please wait to the side for a moment. I will call your name shortly."

"Hehehehe." The savage very sensibly moved away from the crowd.

The others breathed a long sigh of relief, silently praying that their opponent wouldn't be this guy. He was just too disgusting; it felt like touching him would dirty their own hands.

"Now, those whose names I call, come up and draw lots to determine the order of matches and your opponents."

Soon, all eight people finished drawing lots, and Krillin was horrified when he learned the result.

"M-my opponent is the savage? And I'm in the first match?" Krillin was terrified. Just thinking about the savage's disgusting appearance made his whole body shiver.

Seeing this, Li Shu suddenly had an idea and said, "Krillin, you don't have a nose. This is all in your head; you can't smell anything at all."

"Huh? I don't have a nose? That's right, I don't have a nose!" Krillin touched the area where his nose should be and was instantly overjoyed. With his mind at ease, he truly couldn't sense that soul-crushing stench anymore and was no longer afraid.

"Congratulations, you have obtained the achievement 'Krillin Has No Nose', reward: one [Nose Technique] draw, achievement points +2!"

Hearing the notification sound, Li Shu grinned. It seemed his guess was correct; he had finally farmed an achievement off Krillin.

At this moment, the referee arrived at the open-air ring and, under the gaze of everyone, announced the order and matchups for the quarter-finals.

"First match! Krillin vs. Savage!"

"Second match! Jackie Chun vs. Li Shu!"

"Third match! Ranfan vs. Nam!"

"Fourth match! Son Goku vs. Giran!"

Li Shu never expected his luck to be this rotten, drawing Master Roshi—disguised as Jackie Chun—as his direct opponent. This put him under immense pressure.

At this stage, Master Roshi was practically an invincible existence; in the original story, he was the champion of this very tournament!

Li Shu dared not take this lightly. Instead of watching Krillin's first match, he immediately initiated the lottery.

He had to improve his strength in a short amount of time, or he wouldn't be able to get past Master Roshi, and he wouldn't be able to claim a single one of the top-three rewards.

"Yes!" After Li Shu confirmed, streams of information regarding Nose Techniques flashed through his mind.

As expected, just like with Eye Techniques, as long as the word had "nose" in it, it was counted as a damn Nose Technique!

Fortunately, Li Shu had prepared himself mentally, otherwise, he would have cursed the moment he saw the first [Nose Technique].

[Rhinitis]!

What the hell, rhinitis! Li Shu prayed frantically, hoping he wouldn't draw this!

He already suffered from rhinitis; if he drew it again, what would that even be? Grand Rhinitis? Super Rhinitis?

Li Shu was speechless, but fortunately, among the [Nose Techniques] that flashed by afterward, he saw some more reliable technique names.
