" Power Level 185, passed!"
As soon as the staff spoke, someone directed Little Goku to one side of the arena to wait.
"Yes! Great, it worked!"
Little Goku climbed off the detector, jumping for joy as he followed the instructions.
Meanwhile, on the other side, a dejected-looking Krillin squatted to the side, drawing circles in his mind. His Power Level was only in the eighties, and he had been eliminated.
" Krillin, don't be discouraged. I'll get a good ranking and come back with a big meal."
Little Goku excitedly greeted his good friend, and Krillin, hearing this, quickened his pace in drawing circles.
" Wukong, you really can do it!"
A burly young man was already waiting on the victor's side, and greeted Little Goku as he approached.
" Yamcha, you passed too!" Little Goku was pleasantly surprised. Although they had all signed up for the competition together, Yamcha wasn't by his side after they started entering the arena.
He was very happy to see someone he knew.
Yamcha passed the Power Level test early on and was just as happy to see Wukong. "Yeah, I was exactly 105, barely passing."
"However, I wonder what the second test will be like. Maybe I won't be so lucky."
Yamcha turned his head and glanced at the arena beside him. Many of the contestants who had passed the test were already resting, and each of them exuded a very powerful aura.
I thought I was already very strong, at least among the younger generation with few rivals, but now it seems I was still a bit narrow-minded.
'Even though I did cultivate the Ki Condensation Art, I obtained the manual too late, and because I was afraid of side effects, I delayed a lot of time, so my Martial Dao cultivation was much slower.'
'A slow start leads to a slow finish; I wonder how far I'll go this time? Will I be able to pass the preliminary selection?'
Yamcha was not optimistic about his future. As a Martial Dao who came from a bandit background, the most important thing was to have a clear understanding of the situation.
The emergence of the Qi Condensation Art completely changed the landscape of Martial Dao on Earth. Those Martial Dao who learned about it later or hesitated for a moment longer fell behind in the early stages.
"It's okay, Yamcha, we'll definitely make it. I still need to make it to the finals to win the prize money, then I'll treat you guys to a big meal!"
Little Goku, however, lacked Yamcha's pessimism and was one of the few optimists.
If things had followed the original timeline, he certainly wouldn't have had a terrifying Power Level of 185 at this point. After all, even Master Roshi only had a little over 100. He would only be able to reach Power Level of over 100 during the Martial Dao tournament after he came of age.
Fortunately, he had Master Roshi, a discerning teacher. After obtaining the Qi Condensation Art, although he didn't have Little Goku and Krillin train according to its instructions, he adjusted their training strategy, enabling Little Goku and Krillin to reach a level of combat power that was unattainable at the same time in the original story.
Of course, looking at it now, it's really just an average level.
Just now, several Martial Dao with Power Level of 300 have appeared. They are the first batch of Martial Dao from the Dragon Country to obtain the Qi Condensation Art.
With the advantage of being one step ahead, these people are currently the best at using Qi on Earth, and their combat power is completely different from that of ordinary Martial Dao.
"These people are really strong, but I won't give up. Being able to fight them will definitely make me stronger."
"Until I can stand before Brother Wukong and challenge him."
Little Goku sensed the aura of the other Martial Dao, a fighting spirit also welled up within him.
"Come on, Little Goku, it's good that you have ambition, but if what you said before is true, that Master Wukong is not someone you can catch up to."
Seeing that Little Goku was talking with high spirits again, Yamcha couldn't help but pour cold water on his enthusiasm once more.
These are old clichés, and Yamcha remains skeptical of what Little Goku said about having met Mr. Sun Wukong, one of the founders of the Super Martial Alliance.
Although they share the same name, such a person is certainly not an ordinary person.
He had witnessed Little Goku's strength and potential, but compared to the legendary founder of the Super Martial Alliance, Goku seemed so insignificant.
"Hmph! I definitely will. This is my promise to Brother Wukong. I will definitely stand before him one day."
Little Goku clenched his Riot Games and spoke with great conviction.
Meanwhile, inside the spaceship ten thousand meters above the ground, Xu Xiao and his companion witnessed Little Goku's conversation clearly.
"It seems he sees you as a role model and is determined to catch up with you."
Xu Xiao turned his head and looked at the monkey beside him.
By this time, the monkey had adapted to living as a human, wearing a loose-fitting golden martial arts uniform, with clean and neat short hair, and a remarkably clever face.
The monkey gently tapped the back of the chair and smiled, "That's perfect. I'm also curious to see just how far this so-called protagonist destined for greatness can grow."
"What kind of potential do the Saiyans, who are supposedly born for battle, actually possess?"
As the God of Douzhan, Sun Wukong's fighting spirit is no less than that of the Little Goku.
"Actually, there's no need to worry too much. It will take at least another ten years for Little Goku to fully realize his potential. Moreover, the cultivation methods in their world are somewhat unbalanced. According to my estimation, even if he were to develop his pure Qi to its fullest extent, he would only reach the Peak Heavenly Immortal at most."
Xu Xiao shook his head. During this time, he had thoroughly studied the Qi.
In terms of destructive power alone, it is a terrifying force, but it is limited to combat and defense.
Whether it's the power of Zeno to erase the universe's rules or the power of wishing used by the dragon-bodied Zalama to create the Dragon Ball, both are superior to Ki in terms of potential.
Whether it punches the Earth or destroys a planet, the power of energy, no matter how strong, has its limits.
Unless one can achieve the power of Pangu, the progenitor of power, who created a Great Chiliocosm purely through sheer force, blindly pursuing destructive power is a trivial path in the face of those who control the rules.
This is why Xu Xiao gave up on pursuing research into Gene Lock and cellular energy.
"However, as a reference, the energy of Qi still has considerable value. I will accelerate the development of this world and enter the era of cosmic Martial Dao as soon as possible."
"At that time, fighting against a group of powerful individuals who wield immense Qi will undoubtedly be very rewarding and will greatly help you comprehend the true essence of the Dao of Battle."
The monkey nodded upon hearing this, which was precisely why he had agreed to let his true spirit reincarnate in different worlds with Xu Xiao.
He could gain insights into the art of Douzhan simply by constantly fighting different enemies, which coincided perfectly with Xu Xiao's approach.
