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

Chapter 310 Return to the Black Ribbon Legion

On the training ground of the Crane School, two figures rose and fell, so fast that they were impossible to see with the naked eye. Banging sounds echoed in the air, and the hard bluestone ground was cracked.

"Whoa!"

With a cry of pain, Tien Shinhan, with his three eyes, flew backward and crashed to the ground. After a few moments, he managed to get up and wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn, you're incredibly strong! How did you manage to master all the techniques of the Crane School in such a short time?"

"It's a very simple thing. In the end, all martial arts are about manipulating and mastering one's own Qi. The stronger the Qi in one's body, the easier it is to sense, and the faster it is to manipulate and master."

"The energy within me far surpasses yours, so naturally I can make rapid progress in the Crane Immortal Style of cultivation."

Uchiha Touyu crossed his arms and spoke calmly.

What he said was indeed a profound truth. For example, almost none of the aliens under Frieza had any martial arts skills, but they could easily abandon their energy cannons because the energy in their bodies was so strong that they could control them without much sensing.

However, Earthlings are not without their advantages. Because they were cultivated and trained from the very low energy level, their ability to sense and manipulate energy is unique and they are definitely among the strongest in their class.

Furthermore, they can also use ki to achieve abilities that are unimaginable to ordinary aliens. For example, they can control the level of combat power they display by controlling ki, and they can analyze the strength of their opponents and sense their location by sensing ki. These are things that aliens simply cannot do.

Moreover, Earthlings only have lower initial abilities, which does not mean that their potential is low. Apart from the top races like Saiyans and battle-type Namekians, ordinary aliens, even those powerful races, may not be able to match Earthlings in terms of potential.

Tien Shinhan is undoubtedly one of the best martial artists on Earth. He has the blood of both Earthlings and the Three-Eyed Tribe. In addition to having very good initial strength, he also inherited the essence of Earthling martial arts and various advantages.

Furthermore, this guy is a complete martial arts fanatic and ascetic. If Earth hadn't faced a crisis, Tien Shinhan's future strength would definitely have far surpassed Yamcha and Krillin.

However, Tien Shinhan is still in a rudimentary stage. When facing Uchiha Tou, who also suppressed his fighting power to the same level as him, he was still utterly defeated.

Before learning the Crane Style, Uchiha Touyu certainly wouldn't have been able to suppress Tien Shinhan at the same level. However, with the Crane Style's training legacy, and by integrating his training experience from the previous two worlds and the demonic techniques in the Book of Demonic Path, Uchiha Touyu made rapid progress, surpassing his master in a very short time. His skill in manipulating ki even exceeded the Crane Master's imagination.

To put it bluntly, Uchiha Touyu is like a master who has dispersed his power and started anew. Even if the cultivation method is different, some underlying logic will not change, and many techniques can still be used.

The original Uchiha Touyu was unaware of which techniques could be used in this world and which were completely ineffective.

However, with the training experience of Crane School, it was like having a reference table, and Uchiha Tou's original accumulation could naturally be fully unleashed.

The changes in technique are a minor matter; the improvement in training speed is what makes Uchiha Touyu happiest—currently, Uchiha Touyu's internal energy is estimated to be close to 200 points of combat power!

With his powerful physique, Uchiha Tou's current combat power is probably around 220-240.

This fighting power is almost the same as Piccolo Daimaō when he had just escaped the seal and was in his aged state. And Piccolo Daimaō's power was enough to rule the entire Earth!

"Alright, I've made quite a bit of progress in this week of training. But now that I've mastered the Crane School of martial arts, it's about time for me to leave."

Uchiha Touyu put on the clothes draped to the side and spoke calmly to Tien Shinhan.

"What?! You're leaving?"

Tien Shinhan was slightly startled, a hint of reluctance appearing on his face. Although Uchiha Touyu had only trained with him for a week, and had even beaten him up several times during that week.

However, with such a powerful opponent forcing him, Tien Shinhan's potential was fully unleashed. In this week, not only did Uchiha Touyu make rapid progress, but Tien Shinhan himself also greatly increased his strength, gaining at least 20 points of combat power, bringing his combat power to nearly 100.

Tien Shinhan is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, a time of rapid growth. He already has a fighting power of over 100. When he appears in the original story, Goku will probably be no match for him.

Naturally, Tien Shinhan felt a pang of reluctance to part with such a formidable opponent, even though his relationship with Tou Uchiha wasn't great.

"Of course, the world is very big... My combat strength is nothing compared to others in the world. If I don't train hard, I might just be someone who gets killed easily in the future."

Uchiha Touyu said with a smile, "In the original Dragon Ball, the one who died the most pathetic death was probably Master Shen. He was just casually killed when Majin Buu destroyed all of humanity. And because he was a big bad guy, he wasn't even included when the Dragon Balls were revived. What's worse, none of the main characters in the Dragon Balls group even thought about Master Shen."

Rather than saying this guy was easily defeated by Majin Buu's energy tracking missile that covered the entire globe, it's more accurate to say that he was completely forgotten by the author in the later stages. This is the consequence of his combat power not keeping up with the times.

"Are you kidding me? While there might be hidden masters in this world, those at my master's level are extremely rare. Someone as strong as you, even if not the strongest in the entire world, should at least be among the top-tier!"

Tien Shinhan stared wide-eyed. "I just like to bury myself in martial arts and don't interact much with the outside world, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid!"

With my skill level, I could easily dominate a large group of opponents outside, yet you're telling me someone can take you down effortlessly? There's a limit to how much you can joke around!

"The world you're talking about isn't the same as the one I'm referring to. The world you're talking about is Earth, while the world I'm talking about is the universe!"

Uchiha Touyu glanced at Tien Shinhan and said calmly:

"You already possess the bloodline of the Three-Eyed Starman, so you should know a lot about this. The vast universe is much larger than Earth, and there are countless powerful beings within it. With my current strength, I don't even have the qualifications to step onto the grand stage of the universe, let alone you."

Upon hearing the word "universe," Tien Shinhan's face showed a longing expression. As a three-eyed alien, he had some knowledge of the vastness of the universe through his family's inheritance, and he also vaguely knew that the strong beings in the universe far exceeded those on Earth.

Although the Three-Eyed Aliens are not as powerful as the Saiyans and Namekians, their fighting strength at birth is obviously much stronger than that of Earthlings. When Tien Shinhan was reading his family's heritage, he also heard that his ancestors in the universe once possessed power that was almost capable of destroying the world.

Even such a powerful ancestor ultimately perished in the universe, leaving only himself as the sole hybrid descendant, which shows just how terrifying the universe is.

However, this did not discourage Tien Shinhan; instead, it fueled his fighting spirit.

"One day, I too will venture into the universe! To battle countless powerful beings there would surely be the most wonderful thing!"

Tien Shinhan was originally a martial arts fanatic, and since he had studied under Master Shen and his goal was to become the next generation's number one assassin, he certainly wasn't a good person. He was only later influenced by Goku and Master Roshi.

Regardless of whether Tien Shinhan's intentions are righteous or evil, one thing is certain: his unwavering devotion to martial arts remains steadfast.

It could even be said that among all the characters who appeared in Dragon Ball, Tien Shinhan was the most hardworking, the most self-disciplined, and the most devout in his martial arts. In this respect, he even surpassed Goku, who later got married, and Piccolo, who succeeded to the throne of God.

Uchiha Touyu glanced at Tien Shinhan, a slight thought stirring in his mind, but ultimately he said nothing.

……

Black Ribbon Legion Headquarters.

"I never imagined that something like this existed on Earth..."

Dr. Gro, the scientist behind the Black Ribbon Legion, looked at the disassembled miniature spaceship with an expression full of excitement:

"Aliens from outer space! Although I've heard some stories about them before, this is the first time I've ever seen alien spaceships!"

"Although this spaceship is a bit small, small has its advantages. The fact that it can fly in space despite its small size is truly amazing technology."

Standing next to Dr. Gero, Uchiha Touyu, with his arms crossed, wasn't surprised. Although he didn't have much scientific knowledge, he knew just how difficult it was to make a spaceship as small as a life pod and still maintain normal flight and various functions.

Of course, this is certainly not as simple as a magic capsule; androids and time machines are much more difficult to achieve...

It can only be said that the technology in the Dragon Ball world, while seemingly unremarkable, is actually incredibly ruthless! It's just that the effects are so simple and brutal that they can make people somewhat numb to it.

"Alright, Dr. Gro, you should know that I called you here not just to see how you disassemble a spaceship."

Dr. Gro shrugged and took out a device from his pocket that looked like a monocle:

"This is the energy testing device you requested. I've already removed the eavesdropping and positioning systems inside. I must say, it's quite a clever idea; it can actually test the energy within another person's body..."

"Based on my research on the energy testing device, its energy limit is around 1 points. However, I actually think that an individual with more than 200 points of energy would be able to rule the world!"

"If the energy limit of aliens is 1 points, they could probably cause significant damage to the continental shelf and destroy all humanity on the surface with their individual power."

As he spoke, Dr. Gero put on the energy testing device, pressed it on Uchiha Tou, and the resulting number 203 immediately silenced him.

He had just said that 200 combat points would be enough to conquer the Earth, and then he discovered that the opponent also had 200 combat points...

Seeing Dr. Gro's silence, Uchiha Touyu's face revealed a half-smile:

"Doctor! Could you please tell me exactly how strong I am in combat?"

Groh was silent for a moment, then spoke:

"There might still be some issues with this combat capability test. I think I should investigate it further..."

"Really? Dr. Gro, have you considered that the problem isn't actually your combat power testing device, but rather my own combat power?"

Uchiha Touyu chuckled softly, extended a finger, and pointed it at the ceiling. A golden light instantly burst forth from his finger!

The ceiling of the underground research base instantly turned to ashes. The terrifying energy flew thousands of meters into the air before exploding. However, the massive heat still made Dr. Gro in the research base feel uncomfortable.

But he was no longer in the mood to care about the aftershocks. The evil mad scientist raised his head, opened his mouth, and stared blankly at the sky.

After this energy explosion, the atmosphere in the sky was so clear that stars, which are usually only visible at night, could be faintly seen. As a top scientist, Dr. Gro knew very well that this was the result of the atmosphere being almost completely breached.

Dr. Groh only had to do a quick mental calculation to figure out how much energy was needed before he felt dizzy, lightheaded, and terrified.

"What...what...what exactly do you want to do?"

Dr. Groh gritted his teeth and asked somewhat cautiously.

"Heh, Dr. Gro, don't worry so much. I'm not exactly a saint. With such immense power, of course I want to rule the world!"

"I happen to have the power, and the Black Ribbon Legion has its subordinates. Once I become the marshal of the Black Ribbon Legion, the world will be easily in my grasp!"

Seeing Uchiha Touyu's smiling expression, Dr. Gero's face also revealed a fanatical smile!

"Hahaha, hahaha! To rule the world, what a wonderful ideal!"

"In that case, I'll do it with you!"

The worldview of Dragon Ball is actually quite simple. Most of the characters can be simply divided into two categories: good guys and bad guys. And whether they are good guys or bad guys, they all like to hang out together.
