The Winner Is Decided

"It's down! Great Ape Li Shu is down! Is the match about to be decided?!" the announcer shouted excitedly.

Everyone watched the scene without blinking.

"I can't believe this!" Li Shu panicked a little. He'd thought victory was assured, but now he was about to lose at the last moment.

With a body that enormous, once he fell, he was bound to land outside the ring. If he tried to brace himself with his hands to keep from falling, they would inevitably hit outside the ring too. For a moment, Li Shu was at a loss, his eyes full of regret as he gazed at the full moon above.

Suddenly, inspiration struck, and Li Shu thought of a way out. His eyes lit up.

Just as everyone thought Li Shu was about to lose, he suddenly let out a cry of pain and cut off his own tail. His enormous body rapidly shrank.

However, under the effects of [Undying Body], his severed tail quickly reattached itself, and his shrinking body immediately began to swell again.

But in the instant he shrank, Li Shu quickly braced himself against the ground and stood up. Because his body had shrunk, the ground beneath his hands was still within the ring, and he narrowly escaped certain defeat.

"That was close!" Great Ape Li Shu grinned and looked at Wukong again.

Great Ape Wukong gaped in shock at the scene. He'd thought he'd already won and that Big Brother had no way to turn things around.

"Let's keep going." Great Ape Li Shu launched another attack, this time prepared to keep the same thing from happening again.

The two Great Apes clashed once more. This time, Great Ape Li Shu was ready. With both his bloodline power and combat power overwhelming his opponent, Great Ape Wukong stood no chance in a straight contest of strength.

Though Great Ape Wukong was weaker than Great Ape Li Shu, his willpower was extraordinarily strong. He gritted his teeth and held on, lasting almost an hour.

They fought until they were both exhausted. Only then did Great Ape Wukong finally crash to the ground under a side kick from Great Ape Li Shu, and he lay there motionless for a long time.

A moment later, he quickly shrank back to human form—and was already fast asleep.

Li Shu was also exhausted by now and could only keep going through sheer willpower. The fight had drained nearly every last bit of strength from his body.

His final kick had looked fierce, but it hadn't carried much force. Still, to Wukong, who was just as exhausted, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

In other words, if Wukong had delivered that final blow, Li Shu would have been the one to fall.

"The winner of the final match is—Li Shu!" the announcer shouted excitedly.

Li Shu glanced at the announcer, who was still bubbling with enthusiasm, and felt a surge of admiration. No wonder he was the most formidable announcer in Dragon Ball. Even now, he was still this passionate.

With the announcer's declaration and the system notification, the match was finally settled.

Li Shu finally let out the breath he'd been holding. His whole body went limp, and he promptly fell into a deep sleep.

He was so tired he couldn't even be bothered to feel sore.

He couldn't be bothered to listen to the system's reward notification either. All he wanted was a good night's sleep.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again. A whole day had passed. The first thing Li Shu saw was a pair of beautiful, wide eyes gazing at him with admiration.

"Bulma?"

Li Shu was bewildered. What was with that look? He swore he wasn't interested in Bulma at all. He respected Prince Vegeta, okay?

Once he met Vegeta later on, they'd definitely become good friends. As the saying went, a friend's wife was off-limits. He was a time-traveler with principles.

"Li Shu! You're finally awake!" Bulma said happily, blinking her big eyes.

Li Shu fell silent. Including this time, he'd only met Bulma four times in total. They weren't close enough for this.

Bulma's easy familiarity was a little overwhelming, but then he remembered she was a sucker for good looks, and he felt better. After all, he was at least a little handsome.

On top of that, his damn good looks onstage had surely made it easy to win Bulma's heart.

As he thought about it, Li Shu suddenly remembered something and hurriedly looked himself over. His mood immediately soured.

"Why am I wearing women's clothes?" Li Shu asked gravely.

"Oh." Bulma blushed. "You and Wukong weren't wearing anything at the time, and I only had women's clothes, so you had to make do with these for now."

"You dressed me?" Li Shu asked in astonishment.

Bulma said sheepishly, "Yeah."

"Where's Master Roshi?" Li Shu fiddled with the skirt, which fit him terribly. He couldn't shake the feeling that he was exposed.

"They're eating at a restaurant." Then Bulma burst out laughing. "I'm kidding! That perverted old man, Master Roshi, changed you. How could a girl like me do something like that?"

Li Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was still pretty traditional. If a girl had seen his big package, how could he face her afterward? How could he ever find a girlfriend?

"Could you buy me a set of men's clothes?" Li Shu asked.

"I've already got some ready. Change into them yourself; I'll wait outside." Bulma put a set of men's clothes by the bed, then turned and went out.

Watching Bulma's retreating figure, Li Shu felt a little troubled. It was obvious she was interested in him.

To be honest, Bulma was beautiful and had a great figure. She was exactly his type. Of the 5,000 terabytes of study material he'd collected in his previous life, one terabyte was about Bulma.

That made it really hard to control himself.

"Proud Prince Vegeta, I can only promise I won't make the first move. Hurry up and get here, so we can still meet someday."

Li Shu quickly changed clothes, then went with Bulma to the restaurant.

Along the way, Bulma kept finding things to chat with him about. Li Shu really wanted to ask her, "You and Yamcha haven't broken up yet, have you?"

But the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he swallowed them.

They soon reached the restaurant. As soon as they entered, Li Shu saw Wukong eating a huge chicken leg.

[Combat Power: 99]

"The Saiyan Bloodline really is strong. My combat power shot up by 15 points after that fight."

Li Shu checked his own combat power too. It had reached 99, just like Wukong's.

His increase was about 6 points higher than Wukong's.

This result indirectly proved that his guess about how the Saiyan Bloodline's level increased was correct.

"Big Brother, come eat! There's so much good food!" Wukong hurriedly called to him, completely unfazed by the outcome of the final match.

Li Shu smiled and nodded. He was hungry too, so he joined the feast without holding back.

Under the full-force assault of the two big eaters, the restaurant owner and the servers were completely dumbfounded.

The two of them had eaten every last ingredient the restaurant had prepared for the day!

The craziest part was that neither of them looked full. They still seemed eager for more.

"Come on, Wukong, have some of my leg!" With a smack, Li Shu pulled out a two-meter-long Dinosaur Leg. He and Wukong each grabbed one end and started gnawing away.
