Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Chapter 148 Champion Sun Wukong! The Truth

"Why? Why did you give up?! You didn't even give it your all!"

Tianjin Rice was surrounded by a mix of emotions, a bittersweet feeling.

Master Roshi turned to Tien Shinhan, smiled slightly, and made the same decision as in the original story: "As I get older, I'm relieved to see how well you juniors have grown. Martial arts on Earth haven't declined. You must walk the right path, or it would be a real pity. Follow your heart and do what a true martial artist should do. Master Shen is not worthy to be your master."

"What?!" Tien Shinhan was quite shocked by these words, but Master Roshi knew he understood, so he simply turned around and left the ring.

The entire arena was in an uproar. Master Crane was furious because of Master Roshi's actions, but his voice couldn't be heard at all.

The only way to prevent Master Roshi from being influenced by his disciples is through telepathy.

But before he could even speak to Tien Shinhan, he was forcefully ignored by Tien Shinhan.

Tien Shinhan isn't stupid. In fact, he knows everything that has happened over the years, including what his sect is like.

He has been struggling with whether this is right or wrong.

The philosophy taught to him by his master and uncle was that strength is paramount; with strength, whatever you do is right.

But as his strength and skill level increased, and as he experienced more and more, he gradually began to realize that as a martial artist, he should not become an assassin or do wrong things against human nature for money.

Suddenly realizing the error of their ways, they turned back from their misguided path.

Tianjin rice is just one step away from completion.

However, in a sense, he did betray his sect, which is why he showed mercy to Tao Pai Pai on several occasions and was unwilling to fight her.

……

The first quarterfinal match has ended, and fortunately, it was an incredibly exciting battle in the eyes of ordinary people, which deserves applause.

The second quarterfinal match was no longer like the first.

With Yamcha's strength, his opponent was nothing but a weakling. With a casual wave of his hand, Babut was sent flying out of the ring, and he fainted before he could even block a single blow.

Yamcha's displayed strength shocked everyone, especially Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Master Roshi who had returned in disguise.

Sun Wukong is not included because his current strength is vastly different from what it used to be.

In just a few months, it has undergone a tremendous transformation.

However, Sun Wukong did give him some face, and said a few words praising him as amazing and powerful.

It's likely that Goku understood that without the help of his brothers Tarot, Raditz, and Serari, his strength wouldn't be much greater than Yamcha's.

The third quarterfinal match was a contest between Klin and the Wolf.

This duel inevitably involves a rather interesting plot point from the original work.

In the original story, the disappearance of the moon prevented the wolf from transforming back into human form during the full moon. Therefore, in order to defeat Jackie Chan, who destroyed the moon, the wolf participated in this year's World Martial Arts Tournament, with the intention of seeking revenge.

But this time, it was clear that the male wolf participated in the competition so that his girlfriend could see that he was a powerful martial artist.

Unfortunately, Krillin, whom he was facing, was a cut above Yamcha.

However, unlike Yamcha, Krillin also gave the wolf a chance to demonstrate his strength, and only then was he defeated.

Finally, it was time for the battle between dumplings and Sun Wukong.

It looks like a children's battle, but it's not actually like that.

Sun Wukong personally experienced just how powerful the dumpling's superpowers were; if he hadn't been so strong, he would never have been able to completely ignore them.

After giving the dumpling all the chances, Sun Wukong easily defeated it.

Such a calm and collected way of dealing with the dumplings naturally left Tien Shinhan and Master Shen, who knew how powerful the dumplings were, dumbfounded.

The confirmation that Tao Pai Pai died at the hands of Sun Wukong left them feeling depressed and with nowhere to vent their frustration.

With the top four determined, the first stage of the afternoon's matches has come to an end.

However, it won't be long. After the semi-final matchups are announced, there will be less than 20 minutes of rest before the two finalists are decided.

Tien Shinhan VS Son Goku.

Klin vs. Yamcha.

This completely changed the course of the battle.

This match actually piqued Talot's interest, which he had initially found boring.

After all, once the plot is changed, the ending is completely different as well.

In terms of strength, Tien Shinhan could never defeat Goku in his current form.

And that was exactly what happened. After the match started, Tien Shinhan launched into a verbal attack, leaving Goku speechless.

In short, the months of rigorous training he spent with Talot, Raditz, and Serari honed his mind to a higher level of maturity.

Simply put, they have the absolute strength to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament, all for the purpose of fulfilling their long-cherished wish and winning the championship.

Tien Shinhan is quite strong, but not nearly strong enough to make him take him seriously.

Even if Tien Shinhan only uses one-tenth of his strength, Tien Shinhan is still like an ant to him. He can win even if Tien Shinhan has one arm and one leg, or even two arms and two legs.

Sun Wukong remained unmoved by his mockery and provocation, which infuriated Tien Shinhan, who then launched an attack.

He was already in a period of emotional transition; he needed to vent and prove himself.

After a fierce battle, before Goku could even unleash his full power, Tien Shinhan had already run out of tricks.

Even if he used all his strength to unleash a ki blast to destroy the arena and force Sun Wukong to fall off and win, his ki blast was nothing to Sun Wukong.

The Chi Blast is indeed a powerful move that can defeat opponents of higher levels, but Sun Wukong's level is clearly much, much higher than his.

Simply put, their strengths are on completely different levels.

In the end, Tien Shinhan was exhausted, and Goku, out of respect for his unyielding martial spirit, personally ended his past.

Actually, he just released his aura and then casually knocked him away with a single blow.

Tien Shinhan was eliminated, which was a huge blow to him. However, he received guidance from Master Roshi and finally saw a glimmer of light on his dark path.

Master Crane was not convinced. In order to take revenge, he resorted to almost any means necessary, and finally chose to launch a sneak attack.

Sun Wukong didn't want to stoop to his level, but this move provoked Raditz, who was very protective of his own.

Even though Master Crane is just an ant, attacking his own brother in front of him is nothing short of courting death.

It was only Master Roshi who stepped in and defused the seemingly fatal situation, but Master Shen was reckless and didn't care about his own life.

They let him go and he shamelessly said he would come back for revenge, even threatening to force Chiaotzu and Tien Shinhan to comply. At this critical moment, even Master Roshi was furious.

I tried to save you, but you still don't know your place.

However, Master Roshi simply used the Kamehameha wave, just like in the end of the original story, to send him flying tens of thousands of miles away.

It was Master Roshi who saved Master Shen's life; otherwise, Master Shen would have certainly died as well.

Putting aside others, Raditz alone has already harbored murderous intent.

……

The first semi-final match has ended.

Although this strange farce happened again, it did not affect the progress of the World Martial Arts Tournament.

Tianjin rice and dumplings were thus completely freed from Master Crane's control.

Tien Shinhan, in particular, was even more eager to see Krillin and Yamcha fight after learning how powerful Master Roshi and Goku were.

In addition, they were naturally incredulous at the presence of Raditz, Talot, and even Serari.

Its strength was so great that he couldn't perceive its depth at all.

Even Gine and Son Gohan, who were standing next to him, seemed like a mountain to him, making it hard for him to breathe.

This is inevitable. Gohan's strength was already at the level of a martial arts master on Earth. After eating some of the fruits of the Spirit Tree, he not only regained his youth and increased his lifespan, but his strength had already reached three or four hundred points, which Tien Shinhan could not compare to.

Furthermore, even if Ginei did nothing, her combat power had already reached 3,000 points in her early years!

The battle between Krillin and Yamcha became exceptionally intense.

It can be said that the previous battle between Master Roshi and Tien Shinhan was an unimaginable battle for most experts.

However, Krillin and Yamcha's strength has already reached a very high level.

Although there is a 30-point difference between a combat power of 330 points and a combat power of 300 points, Krillin and Yamcha have been training together almost all the time for the past three years, so they are more aware of each other's strength.

When they clash with opponents of similar skill levels, the resulting duels are even more enjoyable to watch.

Of course, if it weren't for the physical difference, Krillin should have been able to defeat Yamcha, which is a pity.

Yamcha perfectly showcased all of his physical strengths; otherwise, in a simple contest of strength, he was far weaker than Krillin.

The battle went down to the wire, and in the end, Klin won the semi-final.

Yamcha lost because of his cunning. Krillin anticipated Yamcha's next move and plan, so he used a tricky method to exploit the loophole.

Indeed, in this respect, Klin always manages to do something unexpected, and he always succeeds.

However, it must be said that in this battle, Krillin was indeed stronger than Yamcha.

After exchanging pleasantries and congratulations with each other, the competition ended.

After the semi-finals, Goku and Krillin stepped onto the final stage.

Of course, we took a half-hour break in between.

In fact, the significance of the battle is no longer great. Some people think it's meaningless, while others think it's very necessary.

At least Krillin and Yamcha are both striving to reach Goku's level, and one can imagine how much effort they have put in to hone their skills to this point.

Even if the ending was already predetermined.

Goku was more serious and showed less mercy towards Krillin than he was towards Chiaotzu.

Anyone who isn't an idiot can basically tell.

Krillin is no match for Goku at all; the difference in skill level is significant.

However, Krillin also showed his stubbornness and indomitable spirit. Even though all his attacks had no effect on Goku, he was still not afraid.

……

After the competition ended, Sun Wukong became the champion without lifting a finger.

This is also the first time in history that the champion has so easily ascended to the throne of the world's number one.

The level is simply too low, and the gap in strength is too great.

At this point, unless the original Vegeta is summoned, how can he possibly contend with the current Goku?

Everyone was shocked by Sun Wukong's strength, but congratulations to him on winning the championship.

The one who was most shocked was Tien Shinhan. Through this martial arts tournament, he finally realized how weak he was.

Not to mention compared to Goku and his friends, even compared to Krillin and Yamcha, they are far inferior.

During their conversation, Tien Shinhan learned that Goku and his group were Saiyans from outer space, which explained their incredible strength. Tien Shinhan was speechless with astonishment. He was also dumbfounded when he learned about his own origins, discovering that he was also a three-eyed alien from outer space.

He grew up on Earth and was considered a monster because he had three eyes. Later, he became a disciple of the Crane Immortal School, gained power, and changed himself.

After a sudden realization, Tianjin Fan suddenly felt much clearer, at least no longer as confused as before.

Afterwards, the group went to a nearby restaurant for a meal.

Night fell before anyone knew it, and apart from Talott who knew how the plot was unfolding, no one realized that a crisis was quietly approaching for Earth.

King Piccolo's henchman, Dambalin, has infiltrated the World Martial Arts Tournament venue and stolen the tournament's roster of participants.

After everyone finished dinner, the people at the martial arts tournament venue learned of their presence and came to seek their help.

During the storytelling segment, Talot and his companions naturally listened to it simply as something interesting.

However, for martial artists on Earth, it was a huge shock.

Especially after Master Roshi recounted the horrors of King Piccolo and the devastation of the past, everyone except Tarot and his group felt as if a dark cloud had been hung over their heads.

"Although the story is vivid and quite oppressive and terrifying, I just sensed that Piccolo's strength doesn't seem to be that great. You might not have been his match before, but now you should be able to handle him without much trouble." With a smile in his eyes, Talot's casual remark broke the oppressive atmosphere.

Master Roshi then realized what was happening and chuckled, "Yes, now that you mention it, I realize that my master, Mutaito, was forced to use the Evil Containment Wave to seal Piccolo Daimaō because he couldn't fight back! But times have changed. Not only me, but also you powerful and outstanding juniors like yourself!"

Master Roshi's words were like a shot of adrenaline to everyone present.

Before anyone else could respond, Talot's next words changed the atmosphere once again.

He used his own way to tell everyone some truths.

"The aura of this Piccolo Daimaō is quite similar to that of Kami on Earth... I remember some information I knew back then. If there are no surprises, this Piccolo Daimaō should be the other side of Kami Piccolo."

As soon as he finished speaking, Raditz and Serari looked at Talott with strange expressions.

They sensed it together, and Sun Wukong did too.

Just a moment later, they spotted their target and roughly understood why Talot had said that.

Sun Wukong was still puzzled, but he didn't care much about Piccolo Daimaō, since his strength was just so-so.

The others exclaimed in surprise, "A god?" "The other side?" and similar words.
