Flipping the Car!

Master Roshi's punch missed, but his movements did not cease.

He seemed to have anticipated this, his body flickering to leave behind an afterimage as his true self bore down on Li Shu, intending to grant him no room to breathe.

Though Li Shu's speed was immense, it was still a fraction slower than his opponent's.

In an instant, Master Roshi reached Li Shu, his form splitting into five, launching attacks from every direction with fists, palms, and kicks.

Li Shu's nose twitched; he instantly saw through the five assaults as mere afterimages, realizing the true attack was coming from above!

He slammed his left foot down, using the leverage to launch his right leg into a high-difficulty, ninety-degree vertical kick.

"What?!" Master Roshi, mid-air in his flying kick, was shocked. Even if Li Shu had mastered the Afterimage Technique and could instantly see through his decoys, it was impossible for him to pinpoint his exact location so quickly.

To react with such decisiveness, such an exaggerated and swift motion, as if he had eyes on the top of his head and knew exactly where he would appear without leaving himself any room for error—it was terrifying combat instinct!

Thud!

Their feet collided. Master Roshi's eyes widened in disbelief; for a split second, he could have sworn Li Shu's right leg had turned into a dinosaur leg—a roasted one, at that.

Simultaneously, a massive force surged from his sole and flooded his entire body. A look of pain crossed Master Roshi's face as the immense impact sent him flying into the sky like a cannonball.

The announcer, witnessing such a spectacular scene, roared:

"What?! Jackie Chun was attacking from above, and Li Shu from below! It looked like Jackie Chun had the advantage, but the result is that Jackie Chun, attacking from above, has been kicked away by Li Shu from below!"

"What a magnificent duel!"

"At such a height, can Jackie Chun land safely? Let us wait and see!"

The announcer shouted into his microphone, spittle flying, his expression one of extreme exaggeration as he stared at the sky.

The audience was deeply captivated by the brilliant exchange, all craning their necks to look upward.

They were desperate to see how this Jackie Chun would handle the crisis.

"Everyone, look!" The announcer seemed to have spotted something dire and bellowed excitedly: "The angle of Jackie Chun's descent seems to be heading out of bounds! Even if he lands successfully, he will be disqualified for stepping out!"

"Is this spectacular duel going to end like this?!"

"Let's cheer for Jackie Chun!"

"So noisy." Li Shu glanced at the announcer with annoyance, then squinted at Master Roshi, who was in freefall, and hatched a plan.

He didn't believe for a second that Master Roshi would be defeated by a single kick; he was surely just putting on an act. He knew the old man's nature all too well.

This was a golden opportunity.

Li Shu lacked the confidence to defeat Master Roshi head-on; after all, there was a gap of over 20 points in their combat power, and Master Roshi had a century more experience and was a grandmaster known as the God of Martial Arts!

If the old man got serious, win or lose, it would be a brutal fight. Li Shu was tired of getting beaten up, and he would likely lose in the end anyway.

The current situation was perfect. Master Roshi had been careless and kicked away, giving Li Shu the upper hand. It was a rare chance he had to seize.

He would press the attack and take Master Roshi down in one go before he could unleash his full strength!

Li Shu's brain raced, and he instantly finalized his plan, clutching the Strawberry Underwear in his palm.

Master Roshi didn't know the Flight Technique yet; to avoid landing out of bounds, he had only one choice!

As Master Roshi was about to fall out of bounds and everyone thought he was finished, he pressed his hands together in a cup shape and pulled them to his waist, a blue orb of light gathering between his palms.

"Ka-me-ha-me-ha!" Master Roshi shouted, hoping to use the propulsion of the Kamehameha to change his trajectory.

Now!

Li Shu seized the moment and hurled the Strawberry Underwear he had been clutching!

"(ÒωÓױ)!!! Nani?!" Master Roshi's momentum instantly collapsed, his eyes involuntarily snapping toward the object.

At the same time, Li Shu grinned, pressing his own hands together in a cup shape and pulling them to his waist as blue energy rapidly gathered.

"Ka—!"

"Me—!"

"Ha—!"

"Me—!"

"Ha—!"

As the charge finished, Li Shu aimed at Master Roshi and thrust his hands forward! A pillar of blue energy surged out!

"What?!" Master Roshi looked over, his expression shifting to one of sheer horror and disbelief. He couldn't fathom how Li Shu knew his signature move.

He had never demonstrated it in front of him!

In truth, Li Shu had long forgotten he even possessed the [Kamehameha] until he remembered it just now.

The moment he was struck by the blast, Master Roshi was filled with chagrin and regret, sitting dazed on the ground outside the ring.

His original intention in using the alias Jackie Chun was to increase the difficulty for Wukong and the others, preventing them from winning the championship and becoming too arrogant, but he never expected to capsize in the gutter.

"Congratulations, you have achieved 'Master Roshi's Upset Victory!', reward [Charge-up Buff], Achievement Points +3!"

"[Charge-up Buff]: Increases charge speed by 10%."

"Huh." Li Shu was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected to receive achievement rewards for this, so he quickly made a note of it.

The system's voice did not stop there.

"Congratulations, you have earned the achievement '21st World Martial Arts Tournament Nine-Win Streak'. Reward: [Blessing Potion] x2, Achievement Points +5!"

"Congratulations, you have earned the achievement '21st World Martial Arts Tournament Semifinalist'. Reward: [Super Blessing Potion] x1, Achievement Points +5!"

Three consecutive achievement rewards brought Li Shu's achievement points to a new high of 28!

At the same time, the host and referee announced Li Shu as the winner.

Amidst the cheers of Son Goku and Krillin, Li Shu returned to the lounge.

"Big Brother, what was that blue light wave move you used? It looked so powerful! Could you teach it to me after the tournament ends?" Son Goku asked hopefully.

"Of course, no problem." Li Shu did not refuse. This was a skill Goku was meant to master anyway; it made no difference who taught him.

Ten minutes later, the third match, Ranfan vs. Nam, officially began.

Li Shu looked at Nam, lost in thought. He had a vague impression of this man who looked like an Indian; it seemed his hometown lacked water, and he wanted to win the prize money to improve the water situation back home.

Perhaps this could trigger an achievement? Li Shu decided to try it once the match was over.

Just then, Master Roshi, under the alias Jackie Chun, found him with a grave expression on his face.
