Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 98 Li Xia VS Master Roshi

On the noisy arena, five people stood side by side.

Before them stood a sea of spectators, and during their break, the host used rousing language to announce the new rules to all the viewers.

Melee!

This unprecedented and novel competition format ignited the enthusiasm of the audience. Krillin and Goku, both 12 years old, were somewhat stunned when they saw tens of thousands of enthusiastic viewers.

The host gave a brief introduction to the contestants and then prepared to leave the venue.

Just then, Li Xia suddenly heard Master Roshi's deep voice beside him:
"young people"

(Contestants, please prepare!)
Passerby A suddenly tensed up. He stood still, struck a pose, and warily looked around, fearing that the others might ambush him.

"What is your purpose in participating in the martial arts tournament and pursuing the martial arts path?"

(3!.2!)

Goku and Krillin suddenly leaped out, occupying the left half of the fighting ring, and simultaneously assumed the starting stance of the Turtle School.

"win!"

Li Xia dusted off his clothes with both hands, left palm and right fist.

"National Martial Arts Style - Xia!"

Master Roshi's eyes widened slightly.

"Alright! Turtle Hermit Style! Muten!"

"The duel begins!"

The four figures instantly transformed into a blurry phantom and rushed towards each other.

Only one person remained, assuming a boxing stance and nervously looking around.

fast!
That's the feeling Master Roshi gave Li Xia—his movements were neither fancy nor hesitant.

Despite being a thin old man, the power of his whip kick was so great that even Li Xia was secretly astonished.

Turn to the side, cross your hands to firmly lock your legs, and at the same time, follow the force of the whip kick to take extremely stable and light cross steps.

Then, like water, the body pulls the force from the arms upwards, and when it reaches the highest point, it gently descends.

Master Roshi's pupils contracted. He realized how ferocious his single whip kick was; it could break even a stone pillar with that kick.

Yet, in the hands of this young man, it miraculously vanished without a trace.

But Li Xia's actions weren't over yet. He released his hands, gave a slight jolt, and pressed his palms against Master Roshi's chest.

"Snapped!"

Master Roshi's palm pressed against Li Xia's palm, but the soft, yielding force surprised him.

Why is she so weak? No, that's not right!

Suddenly, a powerful force surged from the palm that was blocking the flow, as if a waterfall were pouring down from the sky.

Master Roshi, being Master Roshi, immediately tiptoed and tucked in his stomach to absorb the force, retreating far away with it.

Li Xia flipped his palm to take advantage of the momentum and formed a circle. Then, with his right foot firmly planted and his left foot empty, he stepped forward and assumed a fighting stance.

Tai Chi – Wild Horse Parts Its Mane!
Both Li Xia and Master Roshi were surprised at the end of this round.

Li Xia discovered that Master Roshi's movements were extremely simple, but his power was strong and incredibly fast.

His physical coordination and flexibility are incredibly strong; dodging is more like relying on reaction and instinct.

Somewhat like. Yes, somewhat like a real-world boxer, except that their skills and physique have reached a state of perfection.

But fighting against such an opponent made Li Xia feel exceptionally exhilarated!

Master Roshi was amazed by the young man's exquisite response, which contained the potential for an attack within his defense.

The force was also very strange, completely different from the force exertion methods he was familiar with!
This is a completely new path that Master Roshi had never imagined.

This centenarian man truly felt the martial arts spirit that had been dormant for a long time.

The moment their eyes met, they both noticed the burning fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

"Come!"

"Continue!" The entire venue fell silent. Krillin and Goku were a little better off, at least they could clearly see their bodies moving.

Li Xia and Master Roshi's brief exchange was not even witnessed; they could only see what happened through the high-speed camera replay.

"suddenly!"

Without any warning, Master Roshi suddenly charged forward, moving with lightning speed, and arrived in front of Li Xia in the blink of an eye.

Punch!

Before the punch even landed, the wind it generated had already ruffled the hair on Li Xia's forehead.

Wow, so fast! Wow, so heavy!
Li Xia's pupils contracted, having lost all room to dodge. He immediately raised his arms, bending them and drawing a semi-circle in the air.

Use the hardest part of your body, your eagle beak, to block this punch.

"Oh!"

At the moment of impact, a tremendous force burst forth. Li Xia took several steps, then focused his energy and sank down, quickly opening his feet outwards using his heels as the axis, and then opening his heels outwards again using the balls of his feet as the axis.

With these two twists and releases, the body was actually fixed in place like a nail.

Li Xia crossed his palms, lowered his double-handed hands and raised them to the upper hand, then retracted his fists and assumed a fighting stance.

Master Roshi's attack speed was too fast and his moves were too fierce. According to the previous data, apart from his intelligence and spirit being slightly lower than his own, his strength, agility and physical attributes were a full 3 points higher than his own. And this was Master Roshi in his normal state, far from unleashing his full power.

Therefore, Li Xia decided to play fast and fast, and look for opportunities on defense.

Wing Chun – Ask the Hand!
Seeing Li Xia once again display a move he had never seen before, Master Roshi was overjoyed and felt his blood begin to boil.

"Hahahaha, great! Here I come!"

Master Roshi charged forward again, his powerful punches flowing like a never-ending stream. Such force would leave an ordinary person breathless in no time.

Master Roshi, who had been training his body for hundreds of years, didn't seem to care at all, treating it as if it were just eating and drinking.

Li Xia's energy and spirit had been pushed to their limit, and he defied common sense by bracing himself against Master Roshi's attack.

Bring it close to your body, spread your hands, clap your hands, and use your elbows to protect the center line. These three movements, involving minimal force and swinging motions, result in extremely fast speed.

Furthermore, Li Xia chose to block the attack not from Master Roshi's forearm or wrist, but from the inside of his upper arm.

Their physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, so in their fast-paced battle, their movements became so rapid that they were almost invisible.

All that could be heard was a series of crisp sounds as the objects were struck.

Goku and Krillin, who were standing next door, had already stopped and were watching in astonishment as the two fought not far away.

The two of them were perhaps the only two in the arena whose fighting could be barely seen.

"Hurry up!" Krillin, being the weaker one, nudged Goku, who was staring intently with a serious expression, and whispered:
"Wukong, if you go and fight, can you win?"

Wukong's mind was extremely simple, but after his head was hit by a rock, he became exceptionally talented.

He watched Li Xia's moves, which he had never seen before, and unconsciously imitated them, actually managing to discern something completely different from what he had seen before.

It was as if a new door had suddenly opened before my eyes.

"Wow, amazing! Both the old man and the older brother are incredibly skilled. I'm afraid I'm no match for them!"

"Does that mean we can only get third place?"

Klin sighed, looking somewhat sullen.

"But..." Wukong turned his head and gave him a big smile, "We've met some powerful experts, that's great!"

Just as they were talking here.

Li Xia's eyes suddenly lit up, and he deflected Master Roshi's straight punch, leaving himself wide open!

flaw!

He took a deep breath, his eyes seemingly gleaming, and then exhaled.

Wing Chun! Sun-shaped punch!

Master Roshi style is purely about physical training and combat, or like Dragon Ball, their techniques are more like independent skills.
