" Afterimage Technique!"
When his repeated attacks proved ineffective, Master Roshi immediately changed his strategy.
In an instant, on the martial arts stage, Master Roshi multiplied from one to two, from two to four, from four to eight—this was already Master Roshi's Limit.
The eight figures looked incredibly realistic, as if they were truly Clone.
Eight figures attacked Ling Yi simultaneously, but in reality, this was an illusion created by rapid movement.
Of the eight Clone, only one is real.
The other Clone were just Shadow created by their rapid movement.
This will confuse the enemy, Clone to feign an Sneak Attack.
Ling Yi remained unmoved; he was pondering the principles of the Afterimage Technique.
This is not something that can be done simply by being fast; it requires certain skills.
"I see!" Ling Yi's eyes lit up quickly.
The technique is quite simple: pause regularly while moving quickly.
It's somewhat similar to the principle of film reels.
When film reels are played, they are not continuous; there are certain frame pauses. Only in this way can we see a continuous image.
The same applies to Afterimage Technique.
However, performing the Afterimage Technique technique is not easy.
This requires a strong sense of self-control.
At this moment, Master Roshi's true form was already behind Ling Yi.
"Now!"
Master Roshi threw a punch at Ling Yi's back, but the next moment...
"Oh no, it's an afterimage!"
With Master Roshi's attack, the Afterimage Technique was broken.
Then, something happened that Master Roshi dumbfounded.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Ling Yi's figure was everywhere on the stage; at a rough estimate, there were at least thirty of them.
What's strange is that each figure is making different movements, making them look like independent individuals.
Compared to Master Roshi's Afterimage Technique, Ling Yi's Afterimage Technique is more like Clone Technique.
Haha, guess if I'm really like that?
A figure stepped out and laughed loudly at Master Roshi.
"No, I am the real one, you are the fake one," said the other Clone.
"Nonsense, I'm the real one!"
"You're asking for it! Take this!"
To Master Roshi's utter bewilderment, Ling Yi's Clone suddenly erupted into a chaotic battle.
"Hey, brat, stop playing around!" Master Roshi shouted, his face darkening.
"Haha, that's interesting!"
All the Clone vanished instantly.
In the candidate area, Tang Xiaoxiao nudged Jiang Ran and whispered, "Is this a celestial technique?"
Jiang Ran shook her head, her expression somewhat excited. Since Ling Yi was able to learn the Afterimage Technique, she naturally learned it to a high degree as well.
"No, it's just an afterimage created by rapid movement."
"Are you sure? How did you figure that out?" Tang Xiaoxiao's skills were lacking; she hadn't seen anything useful, and this was completely beyond her comprehension.
"I'll teach you later," Jiang Ran said generously.
Tang Xiaoxiao has a special identity; the Tang Family behind her is a powerful military family, Jiang Ran intends to befriend Tang Xiaoxiao.
Moreover, Tang Xiaoxiao is a very simple girl, without any guile, and is very suitable to be a friend.
On stage, the Combat between Ling Yi and Master Roshi took a new Changes.
"You brat, take this! The Thunder Shock Surprise!"
Master Roshi Master Roshi his hands together, let out a low shout, and a crackling sound of electricity appeared between his hands.
Ling Yi mobilized his own energy, focusing all his efforts on sensing the Changes in Master Roshi 'Shang-Chi.
Ling Yi had always been very curious about the Thunder Shock Surprise, wondering what the underlying principles of this skill were.
The ability to sense ki alone is meaningless. Ling Yi could only sense that Master Roshi had mobilized a large amount of ki, but how was the conversion between ki and electricity achieved?
This move is Master Roshi's unique skill, one that even Goku hasn't mastered.
It is evident that the Thunder Shock Surprise is a relatively refined skill technique.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Ling Yi decided to take it head-on and experience the mysteries within the skill.
The current gradually increased, becoming incredibly dazzling.
"Kid, catch this!" Master Roshi and Ling Yi's raised palms met directly.
"Sizzle!"
Berserk surge of electricity instantly coursed through his palms and spread throughout his body.
"Such a powerful Lightning attack, this is..."
An attack of this magnitude would naturally have no effect on Ling Yi, but the power of this Lightning was definitely not weak.
It's just that the difference in their Combat is too great.
A moment later, the Lightning disappeared, and Master Roshi's aura weakened considerably.
Ling Yi frowned. He had already figured out the secret of this move, but this skill was a bit too useless.
The principle is quite simple.
Master Roshi enhanced the bioelectricity in his cells using ki, then concentrated the bioelectricity in his palms for attack.
However, once this move is launched, it will result in heavy losses for both the enemy and oneself.
Master Roshi cannot move when he attacks, as he also has to withstand some of the electric shock.
Moreover, this technique causes significant damage to one's own cells.
If not controlled properly, your own cells will be ruined. You might not know if the enemy is alright, but you might be the one who dies first.
It's probably not that Goku couldn't learn it, but rather that Master Roshi didn't want to teach him.
Only someone like Master Roshi, a Divine Communion of Martial Dao, would dare to do something like this.
"What's the difference between your skill and courting death?" Ling Yi said speechlessly.
"Hehe, this old man has lived this long, I'm not afraid of death."
You're awesome.
"I have one last trick up my sleeve!"
" Kamehameha?"
"Haha, since you know that, then get ready!"
Master Roshi did a few warm-up exercises, then threw his shirt on the ground, revealing his withered, bony upper body.
Then, Master Roshi placed his hands on his waist, and his aura began to rise rapidly.
This time, Master Roshi will unleash a full-force attack.
As the energy increased, the previously dry muscles began to expand rapidly, as if they had been inflated.
But Ling Yi knew that these were real muscles.
At this moment, Master Roshi revealed his true strength.
"Hah! Hah!" A furious roar, the Berserk energy causing the air to vibrate.
"Ghost... Sect... Qi Gong!"
A terrifying energy brewed in Master Roshi's hands, and then, a beam of light half a meter thick shot towards Ling Yi in an instant.
Ling Yi raised one hand, still not intending to use the power of his Personal Space, but instead chose to take the hit head-on.
He channeled his energy into his right hand, blocking the impact of the Kamehameha.
Ling Yi frowned; at this moment, he felt his energy being depleted very quickly.
If Master Roshi's Combat were roughly equal to his, Ling Yi would definitely be seriously injured by this attack.
Ultimately, however, the difference in their abilities was too great.
Master Roshi quickly ran out of steam and ended his special move.
"Huff, huff!" Master Roshi was panting heavily; this move had almost exhausted most of his energy.
"I'm too old, I can't do it anymore!"
Master Roshi bent down to pick up his clothes from the ground, slowly put them on, and then Youyou walked off the stage with his hands behind his back.
Ling Yi knew that Master Roshi was intentionally teaching him, so he clasped his hands in a the Back bow to Master Roshi's back.
Ling Yi won. In the next match, Jiang Ran faced the werewolf. There was no suspense, and Jiang Ran easily won with a crushing victory.
Tang Xiaoxiao was very Luck to get a bye.
Ling Yi even wondered if this girl's Innate Talent was just Luck.
Because Master Roshi left the stage early, Yamcha was eliminated by Ling Yi, and Kid Goku and Kid Krillin faced off prematurely during the round of 32 to 16.
Krillin was defeated!
Tang Xiaoxiao got a bye again!
In the round of 16 to 8, everyone was Luck enough to avoid internal competition.
Tang Xiaoxiao Tang Xiaoxiao a bye again, and despite only playing one match, she successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. Ling Yi was impressed by her luck.
In the quarterfinals, Ling Yi faced off against Jiang Ran. Ling Yi voluntarily conceded defeat, as he was neither the Chosen One nor needed the Champion reward.
Kid Goku easily defeated the Egyptian man.
4-into-2, or more accurately, 3-into-2.
Only three contestants remained: Kid Goku, Jiang Ran, and Tang Xiaoxiao.
Tang Xiaoxiao wasn't so Luck this time; she went head-to-head with Jiang Ran and voluntarily conceded defeat.
In the Champion, Jiang Ran officially faced off against Kid Goku.
It was expected to be a one-sided victory, given Jiang Ran's Combat, but in reality, Jiang Ran felt frustrated and unhappy during the match!
Her Combat experience was too poor, or rather, she had virtually no Combat experience at all.
As Kid Goku Saiyan, Combat is almost instinctive for Goku. He can quickly find the enemy's weaknesses and exploit their vulnerabilities.
The Saiyan are a race born for Combat.
Jiang Ran was fast and strong, but Kid Goku was able to make accurate predictions and avoid attacks in advance.
The two fought for almost an hour before ending the Combat when Kid Goku was exhausted.
Jiang Ran was very frustrated by this, and at the same time, she also discovered many of her own shortcomings.
"Why is it that Kid Goku can always dodge my attacks?" Jiang Ran asked, puzzled.
"Anticipation!" Ling Yi said.
"Your movements contain too many unnecessary actions, so before each attack, Kid Goku already knows the direction you're going to attack and can dodge your attacks by predicting them."
"Another aspect is Combat awareness. You Combat entirely with your brain, thinking before you act, whether attacking or defending."
"But the human brain needs reaction time, while Kid Goku is different. His Combat is almost instinctive; he can react most effectively without even thinking."
"That's why, even though you're faster than him, you give the impression of being slower than Kid Goku."
