Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 95 God Bulma!
The martial arts hall was packed with people. At this moment, the spacious exhibition hall had been set up with fighting rings. Li Xia counted them and there were thirty-two in total.

In other words, the preliminary round can consist of 32 matches, accommodating 64 spectators.

How many people watch the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament?

Preliminary statistics indicate that over 100,000 people have arrived at Wudao Island!

Of course, most people couldn't buy tickets to the event; only 10,000 lucky people were able to watch the semi-finals live.

The rest of the people were scattered in various places on the island, such as taverns and bars, watching the game on television.

Enjoy this once-every-few-years event.

Therefore, the preliminary rounds, which do not require tickets, are the most important place for every audience member to check in, stroll around, and feel involved.

Looking at the surging crowd, Li Xia decisively abandoned the idea of ​​squeezing into the crowd.

Such an exaggerated flow of people has only been seen in Xinjiekou during the Spring Festival travel rush or New Year's Eve.

Tourists, with snacks in hand and enthusiastic smiles on their faces, stopped and lingered in front of each arena.

The camera flashes were incessant, and occasionally, players would yell at the referee in frustration, saying the flashes were interfering with the game.

The referee could only helplessly spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless to do anything about it.

This is also the tradition and charm of the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament.

"Shall we go inside and take a look around?"

Bulma was itching to join in, clearly her love of excitement was about to burst out, and later on this woman even went to Namek just to join the fun.

"All right."

Once you truly squeeze into the crowd, the noise completely envelops you, and the joy people exude is like a fine wine, making you intoxicated by it.

In just a short while, Li Xia had a large straw hat on his head, which looked a lot like Luffy's.

She also had an extra ice cream cone piled high in her hand.

Li Xia focused some of his attention on Bulma, but spent most of his remaining energy scanning the 32 arenas.

Scott kept zooming in on the contestants' faces to show Li Xia.

"Bulma, are there any bye spots available?"

Bulma also had a huge pair of goggles on her face, constantly displaying various data.

"Yes! I already arranged for you to have a bye!"

Faced with the enormous check from the daughter of the richest man, the martial arts association's working group was quite sensible. It wasn't about arranging a fixed match; they were just adjusting the order of appearance.

Come on, this is the authority, Miss Bulma is in charge!
So while the battle on the field looks exciting, all the matchups are actually under Bulma's control!
"Wait, someone is hacking in and trying to tamper with the list!"

Bulma suddenly frowned as the previously orderly battle schedule on the screen in front of her began to change rapidly.

"Several names were highlighted—Gou Kong, Bald Dwarf, and Lustful Immortal."

The Perverted Immortal?? Li Xia suddenly realized that Master Wu Tian's registered name was actually the Perverted Immortal??
No, it must have been altered. The registration wasn't completed, so the other party didn't actually do anything; they just changed the name.

"Who is Copper Bone? He replaced you in the ranking where you had a bye, and in the next round, you will face the Perverted Immortal!"

Bulma grew increasingly nervous and could no longer care about shopping. She looked up, glanced around, and made up her mind in an instant.

She ran straight towards the podium. It was too late to start an attack or defense now, especially since the enemy's methods were extremely novel and she had never seen anything like them before.

Even if we could defend against it, it would be too late.

apostle!

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Xia immediately realized who was behind it all. Clearly, someone was trying to manipulate the competition roster to guarantee a spot in the top eight, just like him.

Only the Angels possess all sorts of novel high-tech equipment, catching Bulma somewhat off guard.

Scott's virtual display screen was refreshing with a large amount of data. It was not a dedicated hacking device, so it was not very strong in terms of combat.

However, it can still be used for signal tracking.

[Beep—Tracking—Signal source confirmed!]

Li Xia suddenly turned around, his sharp eyes fixed on the outside of the dojo. "I've found you!"

"Done! Nothing special, the Viper virus easily breached the firewall."

A little boy with a backpack sat cross-legged outside the dojo, pushed up his glasses, and glanced at the screen of a high-tech laptop in front of him.

"Boss, you've been replaced with a bye. As you said, that guy named Xia has been arranged by me to fight Master Roshi."

The man wearing metal gauntlets nodded in satisfaction.

"Well done, Xiao Qi!"

Copper Bone chuckled:
"Hey—that kid is probably a lucky talent, thinking he can get into the competition through a bye. Let him fight Master Roshi directly."

"Boss, won't this make us enemies?" another female apostle asked timidly.

"You don't know anything. Making enemies? How can you survive in this hall without making enemies! The only real way is to strengthen yourself."

Copper Bone tilted his head and spat, "There are rewards for making it to the top eight in the World Martial Arts Tournament. As long as we can manipulate the match list and make the three members of the Turtle School fight each other in the upper bracket, we can at least get second place. You all know the reward for second place!"

That's 3 attribute points, 5 merit points, plus 5,000 points! I spent 2000 points to buy this intelligence, and another 1500 points to buy this one-time Viper virus.

I was originally planning to buy a selectable world item to make some money from Dragon Ball later.

Who knew—hehe, suddenly it went from Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress to Dragon Ball! This is my lucky break!! Even the heavens want me to rise to power!

The Hall of Fame is a life-or-death struggle, and resources are limited. Eliminating one opponent of the same level means one less competitor!
We're all about climbing over others to get ahead! You know that?

When you have the chance to kill your opponent, don't hesitate! Go all out!

"I know. I know."

Xiao Qi and the female apostle looked at each other and answered weakly.

Copper Bone frowned: "Your voice is so soft, have you not eaten? I can't hear you!"

"Got it!" *3
This time the sound was exceptionally loud. Copper Bone nodded in satisfaction, but felt that something seemed off.

He turned around stiffly and saw a figure standing not far away, staring at him thoughtfully.

When you have the chance to kill someone, don't hesitate.

His gaze gradually turned cold, which made Copper Bone feel an inexplicable pressure. He couldn't help but take a step back, and then suddenly remembered something.

A strange smile gradually appeared on his face. He reached out and put the laptop into his personal space.
"The Martial Arts Tournament is a completely no-martial-force zone. You can't use force, and you can't tamper with the Viper virus either."

I love watching other people's expressions when they fail.

"Swoosh!" A sharp sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

Three streaks of cold light seemed to flash across the air.

Copper Bones stood frozen in place, a sharp pain shooting through his chest.

In the gradually blurring vision, all that could be seen was Li Xia's retreating figure as he threw his gun away.

How dare he make a move in a no-arms zone?

[Warning! Apostle No. 27149, you killed Apostle No. 354654 and Apostle No. 2522123 at the Martial Arts Hall]

Your actions have violated the martial arts dojo's rule prohibiting martial arts outside of the ring!

The martial arts gym will punish you!

[Bulma, a character in the story, has deleted the recording!]

[Bulma, a character in the story, has forcibly stopped your punishment!]

[Apostle No. 27149, due to interference from the story character Bulma, your punishment for this kill will be changed to a fine of 1 million Jenny!]

[Apostle No. 27149, Bulma, a character from the storyline, has paid your fine!]

[Apostle No. 27149, you may participate normally!]

Tong Gu collapsed weakly to the ground; the injury from having his heart pierced was beyond the recovery capabilities of conventional medications.

But he still looked up, expectantly watching the martial arts tournament participants come out and punish that 'Xia'.

If I die, you won't get the reward!

My vision gradually darkened, and the man was already moving further and further away.

Why? Why wasn't there any punishment?
Copper Bones was coughing up blood when he suddenly heard Bulma's clear voice coming from the dojo's loudspeakers:
"Due to equipment damage at the martial arts hall, roll call will now be conducted manually!"

"Due to the absence of contestant number 1250 (Bronze Bone), contestant number 4396 (Master Roshi) has automatically advanced."

"Contestant number 6666 (Xia) has received a bye!"

"puff!"

Copper Bones' eyes widened in fury, then it breathed its last. Damn, a conspiracy!
You have killed Apostle No. 85365.

Li Xia paused for a moment, then continued walking forward without caring.

[Note: You have successfully entered the top 32. Please go to the martial arts hall to confirm as soon as possible.]

[Note: Due to the complete water supply facilities provided by Bulma, the Namu contestant has withdrawn from the competition!]

[Note: Due to Bulma's ruling that the "Trash King" contestant failed quarantine, the "Trash King" contestant has withdrawn from the competition.]

[Note: Lan Fang has withdrawn from the competition because Bulma hired him as her bodyguard]

[Notification: Executioner, you have successfully entered the finals of the World Martial Arts Tournament!]

[Hint: Executioner, please wait for the results of the first half of the bracket!]

Li Xia's eyes widened. Holy crap, Bulma is awesome!
