Nam Cannot Lose

Immediately after that, the third match began.

The third match was between the monster Gira and a barbarian.

The two guys started brawling the moment they got onstage, but their way of fighting looked downright childish.

You punch, I claw—no matter how Kashius looked at it, it annoyed him.

Still, the way these two fought did remind Kashius of the turn-based games from his previous life.

Just then, the monster Gira suddenly foamed at the mouth and collapsed unconscious on the ring.

The host at the side was so frightened that he hurriedly rushed over to check what had happened to Gira.

But just as the host approached Gira, he smelled a foul stench.

It scared the host into backing away again and again.

"Winning the match with that is a kind of strength, I guess. But if I ran into that contestant, I'd definitely kick him flying! Damn it, I can smell it from this far away. It stinks so bad I'm about to throw up my breakfast!"

Kashius kept waving his hand, looking at the barbarian in the ring with utter disgust.

"You've already recognized me, haven't you, Kashius!"

At that moment, contestant Jackie Chun appeared behind Kashius.

Kashius's expression sharpened, but he said without the slightest concern, "Ah, isn't that totally normal, Grandpa Master Roshi?"

"How is that normal!"

"Grandpa, at first, I couldn't be sure it was you. But after you fought that pretty big sister yesterday, I could confirm it was you."

"The way you acted was exactly the same as how you acted when Master Roshi watched women's gymnastics on TV. Especially that lecherous look in your eyes, and that lecherous tone."

Ignoring Master Roshi's face getting redder and redder, Kashius continued, "And also, whenever old Grandpa Jackie Chun appeared, Grandpa Master Roshi disappeared. Whenever Master Roshi appeared, Jackie Chun disappeared. Tell me, isn't that suspicious?"

"To think it was this old man's personality that gave me away." Master Roshi said with a regretful look.

"Grandpa, actually, from the way you looked worried about Krillin and Goku just now, it's easy to see you're a good teacher. Even I kind of want to become your disciple." At this point, Kashius cast Master Roshi a sideways glance and continued, "It's just that you're way too lecherous!"

"Brat, you didn't have to say that last part!" Master Roshi was so angry he clenched his teeth.

"Grandpa, you noticed something unusual about Nam too, right?" At that moment, Kashius looked seriously at Master Roshi and said.

"Mm. When you took Krillin to get bandaged, I followed after you, and I also heard Nam's prayer to the heavens."

"Then, Grandpa, what are you planning to do?"

"Everyone who comes here has a different goal. As for whether they can achieve it, that's not something I can know." Master Roshi replied blandly.

"Come on, don't think I don't know you've already found a way to solve the water shortage where Nam lives. The Hoi-Poi Capsule in your pocket is the best proof!"

Then Kashius's little face darkened as he looked at Master Roshi with disdain and said, "What a dishonest stinky old man! No, wait—a dirty old man!"

Master Roshi had originally wanted to argue with Kashius a few more words, but the host's voice came from the stage.

"Next, we will begin the fourth match: contestant Jackie Chun versus contestant Nam! Please come onto the stage, and everyone, give them a round of applause."

"Tch, what a disrespectful brat!"

Muttering that under his breath, Master Roshi left the backstage area and walked onto the ring.

To be honest, Kashius actually admired Master Roshi greatly.

He brought his disciples to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament in order to temper them. And after learning about Nam's situation, he was even willing to lend him a hand.

What Kashius admired most of all was that when Piccolo tried to dominate the world, Master Roshi would rather sacrifice himself and use the Evil Containment Wave to protect his disciples.

Whenever Kashius had seen that scene in his previous life, he had always been unable to stop himself from tearing up with emotion. Though, this old man was extremely lecherous.

At that moment, Nam had already exchanged blows with Master Roshi in the ring.

As an experienced martial arts master, Master Roshi could not only handle Nam's fierce offense with ease, he still had strength to spare.

The more that happened, the more nervous Nam became.

He had a reason he could not lose. For the sake of his village, he had to obtain that ten million.

At the thought of the villagers' smiling faces, Nam's punches grew faster, and their force grew stronger too.

But who was his opponent? It was Jackie Chun—the strongest Earthling on Earth right now, Master Roshi.

Seeing the situation becoming more and more unfavorable for him, Nam decided in his heart to try that move. If he won, he won. If he lost, he would accept it wholeheartedly.

After making his decision, Nam leaped up and actually soared more than ten meters into the sky. Then he crossed his hands and charged down toward Master Roshi at extreme speed.

Kashius still had an impression of this move. In the original work, little Goku had nearly lost after taking this move. Kashius wanted to see just how Master Roshi would deal with it.

At that moment, little Goku's voice came from behind Kashius.

"Hey, Kashius, I've already recovered. Let's have a proper fight later."

"Good! Later, let's finish the fight we didn't finish! You should know, I've been holding a grudge over that punch of yours all this time, my dear brother."

Kashius did not look back, watching the ring with a somewhat playful smile at the corner of his mouth as he spoke.

"Hehe, I didn't do it on purpose.

What are you watching? You're so serious?" Little Goku laughed a bit awkwardly and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Match four, huh?" Kashius replied flatly, then continued watching the fight.

At that moment, on the arena, faced with Nam's attack from above, Master Roshi's expression turned serious. With a loud shout—

His originally thin, scrawny body instantly swelled, and the clothes he wore outside were forcibly burst apart by Master Roshi's powerful muscles.

Those muscles, brimming with explosive strength, were revealed, drawing waves of startled cries from the young girls in the stands.

Immediately after, Master Roshi's bulging muscles tensed, and he vanished at incredible speed. Nam lost his target and, for a moment, did not know what to do.

He was thrown into confusion. And right then, Master Roshi suddenly appeared in midair, his right hand clenched into a fist, and drove a punch straight at Nam.

The moment Master Roshi's fist touched Nam's body, Kashius clearly saw a faint veil of light coiling around it.

Nam felt a tremendous force slam into his body, followed immediately by a sharp pain that shot straight into his mind. Then his whole body passed out in midair.

As expected of Master Roshi. He really is amazing! Nam was only knocked unconscious by that powerful punch, and after Nam blacked out, he was still able to control the force so he didn't send him flying.

That was unbelievably strong. I never thought this lecherous old man actually had such terrifying strength. I want to fight him. I really want to fight him!

Kashius felt as if his entire body were burning. The Saiyan blood in him was boiling, surging, roaring!

Little Wukong looked strangely at Kashius, whose eyes were burning as he stared at Jackie Chun. He truly could not understand what had made his younger brother show that kind of gaze.

It was as if he had seen something delicious.

After Jackie Chun returned backstage, Kashius instantly rushed over. Then, under Jackie Chun's shocked stare, he said, "I've decided. Once the tournament is over, I'll take you as my master! I'll become your disciple!"

Then Kashius's expression changed, and he spoke again.

"No, I want to take you as my master right now!" Then, under the horrified gazes of Son Goku and the others, Kashius dropped to his knees and kowtowed several times with audible thuds.

"Master above, please accept this disciple's bow!"

Jackie Chun, Master Roshi's alias: "..."

Krillin, who had already woken up: "..."
