Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 309 Crane Immortal

With a casual toss, Uchiha Tobihime was sent flying, landing next to Chiaotzu.

"I'm not here to cause trouble. You'd better keep quiet, or next time it won't be so easy to make a move."

"Don't underestimate me! I'm not that easy to lose!"

Unfortunately, Tien Shinhan, already caught up in his own rage, wouldn't listen to Uchiha Tobi's advice. He simply got up from the ground and made a sword-finger gesture with both hands:

"Take this! Do-Do-Ball!"

Two golden beams of light shot directly at Uchiha Tou, but Uchiha Tou simply waved his hand and completely dispersed the Dodon Wave.

Seeing that the powerful Tien Shinhan and the super-powered Chiaotzu were easily defeated by the thugs who entered the dojo, the last little girl, Yurin, turned and ran without saying a word.

"Master, something terrible has happened!! Someone's come to challenge us!! Tien Shinhan has been defeated!"

"Tsk... I already said, I'm not here to challenge them. I'm here to learn."

Uchiha Touyu sighed twice and shook his head.

In fact, how could Master Crane be unaware of such a commotion at the dojo ahead? Yurin hadn't even left the room yet when Master Crane came out.

"Boy, who are you? Who gave you permission to provoke the Crane School? Are you perhaps Master Roshi's apprentice?"

The Crane Immortal has a peculiar appearance. He has a strange hairstyle that resembles crane wings, wears sunglasses, a mandarin jacket with the character for crane on it, and a small hat decorated with cranes on his head.

After glancing at his two disciples who had been beaten to the ground, the master of the Crane School stepped out with a somewhat wary expression.

Tien Shinhan at this point doesn't yet possess the strength he had when he competed with Goku for the World Martial Arts Tournament championship, but he's definitely not weak. Even Master Shen himself would have to put in some effort to deal with this student; he couldn't possibly crush him as easily as this guy in front of him.

In other words, this guy on the other side is a huge threat even to himself!

Looking at the Crane Master wearing sunglasses, Uchiha Touyu chuckled:

"You must be Master Crane, the founder of the Crane School, the one who was as famous as Master Turtle, and the disciple of Master Mutaito!"

Upon hearing this, the crane master's face immediately darkened:

"That old tortoise is just riding on my coattails to be as famous as me; my Crane School is the best in the world!"

"Do as you please... I came here to learn about the Crane School."

"You have good talent. If you're willing to become my apprentice..."

"You want me to become your apprentice?"

A half-smile appeared on Uchiha Touyu's face:

"First, you'll have to beat me. I've never heard of a strong person needing to learn from a weak one!"

"If you win, I will naturally become your disciple without hesitation. But if you lose, I will only be a guest disciple who joins the Crane Hermit School to learn martial arts."

Many people believe that as long as you pay, you can learn the Crane School of martial arts from Master Shen. In fact, although Master Shen is very greedy and loves money, he is also a martial artist. It is impossible for him to sell his life's martial arts skills for a small amount of money.

Otherwise, the Crane School wouldn't only have Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu as disciples. Neither Tien Shinhan nor Chiaotzu are wealthy, yet Master Shen passed on all his martial arts skills to them.

Master Crane is indeed a villain, but in terms of teaching martial arts, Master Crane, who is a disciple of Master Martial Arts, still has the demeanor of a grandmaster, and at the same time, he really hopes that the Crane School will be carried forward.

"Hmph! You've been underestimated! Indeed, the weak are not qualified to be the teachers of the strong. In that case, let's do as you say! Let's go outside and have a duel!"

Crane Immortal originally wanted to say a few more harsh words, but looking at his two disciples who had been beaten down, he became a little worried—if he were to be beaten down as well, the harsher his words, the more humiliated he would be.

Inside the Crane School's dojo, there is a rather large open-air training ground that looks somewhat like the venue for the World Martial Arts Tournament. Upon entering the arena, Master Crane immediately assumed a fighting stance.

The current Master Crane is much stronger than Tien Shinhan. In terms of combat power, he would be around 120. As for Uchiha Tou, although he has not tested his own combat power, based on his estimation of ki, it should be around 150.

In addition to his Qi, his physical strength far surpasses that of ordinary people. Over the past three months, he has been nourished by Qi and cultivated the Human Immortal Martial Arts, resulting in rapid progress in his physical strength and pure physique.

Now, without relying on ki, just by his physical abilities, Uchiha Touya can defeat an opponent with a combat power of 100.

Although physical attributes and the combat power derived from ki cannot be considered a simple addition, they are enough to give Uchiha Tou a combat power of nearly 200 points. At this level of combat power, he would be completely overwhelmed by Master Crane.

However, the Crane School's martial arts do have their merits. Uchiha Touyu has never seen the Turtle School's martial arts, but it can be seen from the manga that the Turtle School focuses more on the basics, while the Crane School emphasizes some techniques.

In the world of martial arts, it's roughly equivalent to the Sword Sect and Qi Sect of Mount Hua. The Turtle Hermit School is like the Qi Sect practitioners of Mount Hua, emphasizing the accumulation of strength before unleashing it, while the Crane Hermit School is like the Sword Sect practitioners, emphasizing immediate combat power and killing techniques.

This can also be seen from their respective ultimate moves. The Turtle School only has the standard Kamehameha, and doesn't have many other moves. On the other hand, the Crane School has extremely fast moves, such as the Dodon Wave, the Flying Technique, and the Ki Blast, which can be used to fight to the death. All of them are highly skilled Ki Blast moves.

In addition, Tien Shinhan's later development of the Four Demon Fists and the Solar Flare also adhered to the main principles of the Crane School, focusing on the techniques of ki. Goku's performance, on the other hand, was a perfect example of the Turtle School – he used Kamehameha from beginning to end.

In terms of the application of ki, Saiyans are actually far inferior to Earthlings. Krillin's Destructo Slash, Yamcha's Ki Bomb, and Tien Shinhan's Solar Flare are all far superior to those pure energy cannons in terms of technical skill alone.

However, Saiyans have unlimited potential and can continuously improve as long as they train. In comparison, the upper limit of Earthlings is far lower than that of Saiyans, and they can only make up for it by relying on some combat skills.

The current Master Crane is certainly not as good as the later Earthlings Z Fighters, but the various techniques he has shown in using ki have already left Uchiha Touya feeling dazzled.

With a flash, the Crane Master conjured seven or eight figures, while he himself moved silently like a ghost to Uchiha Touyu's side blind spot. Then, he pointed and a golden beam of light shot out from Uchiha Touyu's temple.

"Impressive speed! This must involve some aerial maneuvering techniques! Otherwise, with your energy level, you wouldn't be able to reach this speed."

Uchiha Touyu spoke lightly, raised his hand, and faint energy fluctuations emanated from his palm. With a casual slap, he instantly shattered the Dodon Wave into dust.

Although Uchiha Touyu had not practiced the more advanced ki techniques of this world, he still possessed various training experiences in chakra, Haki, and mana. Through self-exploration, he was able to use some simple ki techniques.

It's just that the utilization rate isn't very high. If the Kamehameha can instantly increase one's ki to 120%, and the Ki Blast can increase one's ki to 200%, and if one is willing to spend the life, one can even increase it to 300% to 500%.

The energy blast that Uchiha Hiyu figured out on his own could probably only release 80% to 90% of its energy.

If Uchiha Touyu were willing to spend a few years, he could improve the utilization rate of the energy blast to the level of the Kamehameha. If Uchiha Touyu were to settle down and spend more than ten years training hard, he could also create martial arts styles like the Turtle School and Crane School. However, such a waste of time would not be of much significance to Uchiha Touyu himself.

After all, no matter how high the martial arts level in the Dragon Ball world is, without sufficient energy to support it, it is just a castle in the air. Master Roshi's martial arts level is guaranteed to be much higher than Frieza's, but that doesn't stop Frieza from being able to kill 100 Master Roshi with a single breath.

Instead of focusing on these martial arts realms and qigong techniques, Uchiha Tomoyu would be better off concentrating on cultivating his own energy and making faster progress!

In the Dragon Ball world, a 30% difference in energy level can reveal a significant gap in strength, and a difference of 100% in energy level often results in the weaker being instantly killed.

Superior martial arts skills and cultivation techniques can compensate for this to a certain extent, but only to a "certain extent." If the energy value difference is doubled, even the highest level of martial arts is useless.

Just like Master Crane now, relying on his aerial maneuvering technique, his speed can be 30% faster than that of experts of the same level. He will definitely have a great advantage in battles of the same level. However, when facing Uchiha Tou, whose strength far surpasses his, his so-called speed can only be used for hit-and-run tactics to avoid being defeated quickly.

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out, and Uchiha Hiu appeared in front of Crane Master in an instant, throwing a punch. Crane Master waved his hands rapidly, trying to deflect the punch, but he felt as if his fist had hit an iron pillar. It took a lot of effort to deflect the fist that was originally going to hit his chest to the outside.

With a ripping sound, the sleeve on the side of Crane Master's shoulder transformed into fluttering butterflies, revealing a bruise on his shoulder. He spun around twice to dissipate the force before quickly retreating and regaining his footing.

"That was a powerful punch!"

Master Crane shook his shoulders, his expression becoming even more serious:

"I thought Tien Shinhan was already the strongest of the younger generation, but I never expected that a strong fighter like you would appear!"

"There are many things you wouldn't expect!"

Uchiha Touyu chuckled lightly, and as his internal energy erupted, a faint energy wave enveloped his body.

This is a burst-energy technique developed by Uchiha Hiu after studying the Lightning Release Chakra Mode of the Cloud Ninja, the Haki of the One Piece world, and the way to strengthen the body in the Blood Nerve. It is equivalent to a low-powered version of the Kaioken.

When he unleashes his energy, he can unleash 150% of his combat power. However, this method is extremely energy-consuming. With the amount of ki stored in Uchiha Hiu's body, he can only use it for a maximum of ten minutes.

But even if Piccolo Daimaō breaks the seal in those ten minutes, Uchiha Touyu is confident that he can beat him to a pulp!

Almost instantly, Uchiha Hiu, whose speed had increased dramatically, appeared in front of Crane Master and threw another punch. Crane Master was terrified and before he could react, he was hit in the abdomen by a punch.

*Pfft!* A mouthful of blood spurted out as Crane Immortal crashed into the wall with a loud thud, shattering it into pieces. He fell into the ruins and could not get up again.

"Heh, looks like you're not up to the task of being my master!"

Uchiha Touyu crossed his arms and smiled.

The next morning, Master Crane, his body wrapped in bandages, sat in a chair and began to explain things to his disciples.

However, in addition to Tien Shinhan, Gyoza, and Yurin's apprentice, there is now Uchiha Touyu sitting at the very front.

There was nothing I could do; since I couldn't beat them, I had to accept my defeat. Fortunately, although they didn't become my disciples, they did agree to join the Crane Immortal School, so it wasn't exactly a case of betraying their master.

Master Shen wasn't exactly an invincible figure, and as for faking his cultivation techniques... the ki cultivation in the Dragon Ball world isn't some kind of internal energy cultivation, so there's no such thing as going into a state of demonic possession. At most, it's just that the other person failed to cultivate successfully.

But if the other party fails to cultivate, won't they cause trouble for me?

In this situation, the Crane Master might at most conceal some of the Crane School's secret techniques, but Uchiha Touya doesn't need those secret techniques; what he needs are the most universal ki training and manipulation skills.

Whether it's the Turtle School or the Crane School, martial arts training in the Dragon Ball world is basically not written down, but in fact, it is very much written down, because ki cultivation is not like a martial arts manual with specific training methods, but rather a kind of experience transmission.

Just like Master Roshi trained Goku and Krillin without imparting any divine techniques or secrets, Master Shen also didn't have any secret manuals. He could only teach people the Crane School of martial arts through oral instruction and some training.

Normally, Master Crane could give a demonstration, but now that he's had seven or eight ribs broken by Uchiha Touya's punch, he's naturally incapable of doing so.

In this situation, he could only describe the various cultivation methods of the Crane Immortal School verbally.

Fortunately, Tien Shinhan has already inherited most of the Crane School style. After Master Shen explains it once and Tien Shinhan demonstrates it once, Touya Uchiha has a pretty good grasp of it.
