Marvel's Magic Master

"Gohan, George?"

On their way to the qualifying venue, they encountered Bidili, who was also heading to the venue.

Videl wasn't too surprised by Gohan's appearance, only puzzled by his attire, but she was completely taken aback that George had also participated in the preliminaries.

"Videl, keep your voice down! Don't call me Gohan, call me Super Saiyan!"

Gohan quickly explained why he was wearing a headscarf and sunglasses.

This competition is being broadcast live globally, and many classmates are watching, so I absolutely mustn't reveal my identity.

"Didn't Gohan tell you that I learned how to use ki from him before, and I've been training with him recently?"

George smiled and offered an explanation, then winked meaningfully before Bidile could press him further.

"I'll head to the arena first, so I won't disturb your pre-match date with Gohan."

"What? A date?!"

Upon hearing this, Bidel blushed and stopped asking questions.

George quickly followed the group and walked to Goku's side.

"Mr. Goku, I heard from Gohan that you learned a technique called Kaioken from King Kai before?"

Kaioken is a technique invented by Kaio that utilizes ki.

It mainly uses qi to stimulate the physical body, thereby rapidly increasing one's combat power several times, ten times, or even dozens of times in a short period of time.

The extent of the enhancement depends mainly on the physical body's tolerance and the ability to control Qi.

The stronger these two aspects are, the higher the enhancement factor will be.

When Goku fought Vegeta, his limit was four times, and later, after training on Namek, he was able to do ten times.

George isn't a Saiyan, so he can't transform into a Super Saiyan.

Therefore, Kaioken is a good technique that could allow his small clone to break through the limits of combat power.

He possesses both of the most important aspects of the Kaioken technique.

As for the control over Qi, even if it is just a small clone, as a multiverse-level powerhouse, the control over energy is still at the multiverse level.

In this world, he felt that apart from the vanished creator, there were probably few who could compare to him in this respect.

It's just that my current soul power is too low, which is why there's a limit.

The soul has limitations, but the body does not.

His current physical path is that of a warrior, which focuses on improving physical strength.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he's only at Sequence 1 and his power level is just over 10 billion. In terms of sheer physical strength, even Goku and Vegeta are far behind him.

The strength of Goku and Vegeta mainly lies in their Super Saiyan transformation and the boost from ki.

Just like the Earthling Krillin, who currently has a combat power of around 100,000, if he doesn't use his ki to protect his body, even a pistol can still damage him.

Saiyans' bodies far surpass those of Earthlings, and Goku and Vegeta, after various training and exercises, have bodies that far surpass those of ordinary Saiyans.

Even without gas, conventional firearms would likely be unable to cause damage.

However, if it is a more powerful thermal weapon, such as a missile or a nuclear bomb, then it is still very dangerous.

George, on the other hand, followed the warrior path, and now possesses the physical body of the Sequence One God's Hand, along with the development of the Gene Lock.

Even a nuclear bomb hitting your face would leave you completely unharmed.

Once one advances to Sequence Zero Twilight Giant, their physical body will receive a qualitative improvement.

Therefore, if he learns the Kaioken, it won't be ten or twenty times stronger than the Kaioken; the limit might be several hundred or even several thousand times stronger.

The enhancement effect is even more exaggerated than the Super Saiyan transformation.

This is just a small clone; his clones have even more terrifying physical strength, and the effects of the Kaioken will only be better.

"Kaiōken, yes, that's a technique that King Kai taught me."

Upon hearing this, Wukong sighed with emotion:
"Unfortunately, I rarely use it anymore."

Before he could transform into a Super Saiyan, he could maintain his body at the 10x Kaioken state for extended periods of combat.

However, after transforming into a Super Saiyan, his fighting power increases fiftyfold, which is far better than the effect of the tenfold Kaioken.

He also considered continuing to use the Kaioken stacking while maintaining his Super Saiyan form.

It's difficult to succeed at first.

Because after transforming into a Super Saiyan, one's emotions are easily out of control, and one's strength suddenly increases fiftyfold, making it much more difficult to control one's ki.

Once you use the Kaioken, the amount of ki increases, but your control over ki decreases, making it difficult for your body to withstand.

Even if you use it, it's hard to keep it going, so it's better not to use it at all.

Later, during his training in the underworld, his control over ki greatly improved, and he was finally able to use the Kaioken in Super Saiyan form.

He even used this trick to fight a master of pork ribs from the underworld, and it worked very well.

But once he could transform into Super Saiyan 2 and now into Super Saiyan 3, the Kaioken technique became useless again.

Even if a Super Saiyan 1 user uses the Kaioken 10x, their fighting power only increases to 60x.

Super Saiyan 2 is 100 times stronger, and Super Saiyan 3 is 400 times stronger.

Perhaps he adapted to these two states later and continued his training, and it's possible that he could use the Kaioken again in Super Saiyan 2 and 3.

However, if we're talking about improving combat power, it's better to focus on improving basic combat strength rather than spending energy on Kaioken.

The higher the base combat power, the stronger the boost after transformation.

It's not too late to study Kaioken once the improvement in basic combat power has slowed down.

"Mr. Goku, will I have the opportunity to learn the Kaioken technique?"

George asked directly.

For someone as simple-minded as Wukong, he just says what he means directly, without beating around the bush.

Because if he can, he will agree immediately; if he can't, he will explain why, without any ulterior motives.

"Of course you can, but I only have one day to stay in the human world, so I'm afraid you'll have a hard time learning it."

Goku nodded. King Kai had never said that the Kaioken technique couldn't be taught to outsiders.

However, even if he wanted to teach it to Klin and the others, they couldn't learn it.

Even if Krillin and the others had enough control over their ki, their physical bodies simply couldn't withstand the strain of using the Kaioken technique.

Therefore, currently, only Saiyans with strong physical bodies can learn the Kaioken.

Early on, Gohan was too young and didn't have enough control over his ki. Later, he could directly transform into a Super Saiyan, so he no longer needed to learn the Kaioken technique.

Vegeta is the enemy in the early stages, but he can also transform into a Super Saiyan later on, so it's not necessary.

Moreover, given Vegeta's pride, how could he possibly learn his special move?

George can certainly learn Kaioken, but as a human, he feels that George is the same as Krillin.

Even if one learns it, the physical body cannot withstand the strain of using the Kaioken technique.

In addition, he only has one day left, and after participating in the martial arts tournament, he probably won't have much time left.

It would be difficult for George to learn in such a short time.

"It's alright, I'm a pretty good learner. It'll only take you ten minutes." George smiled. He naturally understood what Goku meant, but what Goku considered difficult was nothing to him.

"You don't need to worry about his learning ability; ten minutes is enough for him to learn it."

At this moment, Bick spoke up.

His hearing was so good that he could hear everyone talking around him.

He wasn't sure if George's body could withstand the strain of using the Kaioken technique, but he was certainly impressed by George's learning ability.

In his opinion, even the extremely difficult Kaioken technique would probably only require George to glance at it a couple of times before he could learn it.

Wow, you're really good!

Upon hearing Piccolo's words, Goku immediately let out a sigh of admiration.

He knows Piccolo well. Since Piccolo has so much confidence in George's learning ability, it means that George really might learn Kaioken in ten minutes.

It should be noted that it took him quite a while to learn the Kaioken from King Kai.

"Bick, you and George are quite close, aren't you?"

At this moment, Klin, who was standing next to him, showed a curious expression.

When Gohan introduced George, he only said that George was his classmate, knew about their story, and was also participating in the World Martial Arts Tournament.

Therefore, the people didn't know much about George's situation; they just thought that George was a very nice person, very polite, and spoke well.

"He trained under my tutelage for a month, so he's kind of my half-disciple."

Piccolo said calmly.

Krillin and Goku were immediately surprised; they hadn't expected that George and Piccolo had this kind of relationship.

"So, you must be quite strong?"

The fact that Piccolo took notice of him, was willing to personally guide him, and affirmed his learning ability shows that George's talent for training is definitely not low, and his strength should not be bad either.

"I'm just good at learning moves, not at fighting."

George replied modestly.

Upon hearing this, Klin breathed a sigh of relief, as he had thought his chances of winning the fifth-place prize had diminished.

That's true. Even if George is very talented, it's hard for him to be very strong in a month.

Having experienced so many battles, he should already be the strongest among humans.

"It's a bit too early to relax now."

Bick glanced at Klin and shook his head inwardly.

George not only has a strong learning ability, but his combat power is also improving very quickly, although he has now suppressed all his anger.

He couldn't determine George's current actual combat strength, but it certainly had surpassed that of Klin.

If the speed increase was still based on the time spent in the Heavenly Temple, then the combat power might already be close to 100 million.

"I never expected so many people!"

Just then, everyone arrived at the inner venue of the preliminary rounds. Looking at the densely packed contestants inside, Wukong couldn't help but sigh.

At a glance, there were at least several hundred participants in the preliminary rounds, far more than in the previous World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament.

"Hmph, they're just small fry anyway."

Vegeta crossed his arms, a disdainful look on his face.

He had only one rival in his eyes: Kakarot, a lower-class Saiyan warrior.

"Ah, you all!!!"

Upon seeing Wukong and the others appear at the entrance of the preliminary rounds, a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and a suit immediately ran over excitedly.

He is the host and commentator of every World Martial Arts Tournament, and one of the few people in the world who understands the strength and true level of Goku and others.

"That's great, that's really great, you've finally come to participate in the competition again."

Without you all, the World Martial Arts Tournament would be completely unwatchable; those other people's skill level is just too low.

As a host who had experienced the hardships of life, he found the previous martial arts tournament utterly boring.

"But this time, you can't mess up the venue again!"

"That must be Supreme Kai Shin and his retinue."

George's attention wasn't on Wukong and the host, but rather he scanned the entire preliminary round venue and quickly spotted two contestants with considerable fighting power.

The universe he is currently in is likely the seventh universe in a parallel universe of Dragon Ball.

Universe 7 is one of the few universes where multiple Supreme Kais coexist, although now only the East Supreme Kai remains.

The most powerful being in the Dragon Ball world right now is Zeno, who can erase all universes with a single thought, but his actual combat power is probably not that high.

The High Priest has the highest combat power.

The High Priest's children are all angels, and they are scattered throughout various universes, responsible for selecting suitable gods of destruction.

They guide and supervise the Gods of Destruction, destroying dangerous planets that threaten the development of other civilizations in order to maintain the balance of the universe.

On par with the Gods of Destruction are the Supreme Kais, who are responsible for creating and maintaining the stability of the universe, and whose combat power is usually not high.

This isn't high compared to a God of Destruction, but it still has a combat power of several billion, and the most powerful can reach hundreds of billions.

Below the Supreme Kai are the Grand Kai and the four Supreme Kais (East, West, South, North), who are in charge of the four great galaxies of the universe.

Below the Realm King is the Underworld, a place where all dead souls and those who are reincarnated are gathered.

The ruler of the underworld is Yama, who is not as powerful as the King of the Realms. However, no matter how powerful the enemy is, their soul will be suppressed by Yama after they die and enter the underworld.

Next are the planetary gods, the celestial beings who manage the various planets, like Piccolo before and Dende now.

In addition, there are Heaven, Hell, and the Demon Realm.

Heaven is a place that souls who have accumulated a certain level of merit can enjoy after being judged by Yama, the King of Hell.

Hell is the opposite; it is a place where people who committed heinous crimes in life are sent to be punished in various ways.

George thinks this is quite good; good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished. It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet.

The Demon Realm is a separate realm, where the strongest being is the Demon King. It is not under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Kai and its strength is generally no less than that of the Supreme Kai.

Universe 7 originally had five, or rather, with the sealed Old Kaioshin, there were a total of six Kaioshins.

However, four of them were either killed or eaten by Majin Buu, leaving only Shin, the East Supreme Kai, and the sealed Old Supreme Kai.

Majin Buu is a creature that existed in ancient times. He absorbed a large amount of evil energy and fell into a deep sleep and hibernation.

He was later awakened by an evil sorcerer named Bibidi.

The awakened Majin Buu, guided by Bibidi, invades the Supreme Kai's world.

First, kill the West Supreme Kai and the North Supreme Kai, then absorb the South Supreme Kai and the Grand Supreme Kai. Only the East Supreme Kai survives.

Influenced by the Supreme Kai's personality, he became a relatively kind-hearted, sweet-loving fat Buu.

Because of this, Bibidi was finally able to use magic to control Majin Buu and temporarily seal him away on Earth.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Supreme Kai of the East launched a sneak attack and killed the evil sorcerer Bibidi.
