Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

"Yes, Master, didn't you pass too?" Zhang Shan teased. Master Roshi's expression changed, but then he remembered that Zhang Shan had already been to Korin Tower, so he knew that the other party must have sensed his aura. He laughed and said, "I'm much faster than you guys!"

Sun Wukong blinked and asked, "Grandpa Turtle is participating in the competition too?"

Master Roshi said, "Did you participate? Maybe, but you'll have to find out for yourself!"

"What's with all this mystery?" Sun Wukong complained, but he was quickly drawn to the feast and forgot about it.

Chapter 340 Opening a Martial Arts School Three Years Later

The preliminary rounds were not difficult, and Master Roshi's team all passed smoothly. After that, the preliminary rounds were no longer relevant to them, and none of them needed to participate in the competition the following day.

With nothing else to do, Zhang Shan began instructing Master Roshi and the other two on levitation techniques. Soon, the three of them used their ki to break free from gravity and slowly floated into the air.

Even the elderly Master Roshi was having a great time, exclaiming, "I never thought that at my age, I could still fly up into the sky on my own."

In the original story, Master Roshi didn't learn the Flying Technique because it was developed by his rival, Master Crane, and he was unwilling to learn it. However, now that he has obtained the technique from Zhang Shan, and Master Crane and the others are currently nowhere to be found, Master Roshi naturally won't resist. Furthermore, with his combat power of over 100, flying is incredibly easy for him.

"Now that we can fly, does that mean the condition of landing on the stage during the martial arts tournament no longer applies to us?" Goku suddenly asked. Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then Master Roshi nodded and said, "It seems that's correct..."

"Then we're invincible from the start!" Klin exclaimed excitedly!

However, looking at the half-meter altitude that Krillin and Goku were flying in front of, Zhang Shan didn't think their aerial maneuvers were very useful.

Zhang Shan reached out and pressed down on Klin's shoulder, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground. He laughed and said, "Junior Brother, you still have a lot of practice to do!"

Klin scratched his head and laughed, "Senior brother's strength is truly formidable."

"Absolutely." Zhang Shan wasn't modest at all. They were all family, why be modest?

While Goku and Krillin were familiarizing themselves with the Flying Technique, Zhang Shan was thinking to himself whether he should take some time to find the spaceship Goku used when he came to Earth, and hand over the power level detector to Bulma for research so that she could reconstruct it, so that this world could officially enter the Great Cultivation Era.

After a day of fierce competition, the top eight have finally been determined.

Among them, Zhang Shan and his group occupied four spots. The remaining four were Nanwu, dressed in red; a sexy purple-haired woman who could easily defeat Yamcha; a giant man who smelled terrible and never bathed; and a dragon.

Yamcha wasn't familiar with Zhang Shan and his group. After all, he was just a bandit who tried to rob them, but ended up getting beaten up by Zhang Shan's Kamehameha. After that, they didn't cross paths again.

This was their second meeting.

“That guy looks like the bandit we met on the road earlier?” Bulma said. Zhang Shan nodded: “Yeah, he’s got some strength, but he’s completely powerless against women. Just now, that woman took off her outer clothes, and he couldn’t even move. What a disgrace to men!”

"Oh? So you have a high resistance to women?" Bulma teased Zhang Shan, hooking his chin with her finger and saying, "Come to my room tonight, let me see just how high your resistance is!"

"We are happy to help!"

Sun Wukong was completely baffled by their interaction: "Are you two going to fight tonight? Can I watch?"

duang~

Everyone fell to the ground.

"I'll have to give Wukong a biology lesson later," Zhang Shan thought to himself, to prevent Sun Wukong from causing these kinds of blunders.

That night, after a fierce battle with Bulma that lasted until late, Zhang Shan finally fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, in the waiting room of the World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament.

Zhang Shan and his three companions gathered together, while the other four stood apart, warily watching each other.

"In the first round, Zhang Shan will face off against Nan Wu!"

"I'll go first." Zhang Shan and his third brother, Nan Wu, headed to the arena together, but instead of walking up, they flew up.

To everyone's astonishment, Zhang Shan floated two meters off the ground and landed on the arena.

Even his opponent, Nanwu, was taken aback by Zhang Shan's entrance, and immediately clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Immortal!"

Zhang Shan laughed and said, "I am not a god, just a human with strong martial arts skills."

Upon hearing Zhang Shan's words, Nan Wu's eyes widened, and he asked expectantly, "Are you saying that you mastered this ability to fly through cultivation?"

Zhang Shan nodded, and then his body rose again, now twenty meters in the air.

The audience was completely awestruck; this was flight! One of humanity's ultimate pursuits!

The blond referee wearing sunglasses was also extremely shocked, but his top-notch professionalism allowed him to suppress his emotions. He took the microphone and said, "It seems that both players are in position. So I hereby declare the first match of the quarterfinals officially open!"

As the referee's voice faded, amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Zhang Shan pointed his palm at Nanwu, and a glowing energy blast formed in his palm.

"My God! Something incredible seems to be gathered in Zhang Shan's palm. If I'm not mistaken, that should be the legendary Qi Gong! My God! I actually saw Qi Gong!"

What is Qigong?

"I've never heard of this before." The audience had never seen anything like it before, and they were filled with curiosity.

The referee spoke rapidly: "Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, before the advent of technology, when the human martial artists on this land honed their physical bodies to the peak, a special energy would be generated within their bodies. This energy was like a laser, capable of being emitted and causing terrifying destructive power!"

After listening to the referee's explanation, everyone finally understood what qigong was. Then, they all looked at Zhang Shan with anticipation, wanting to see if this so-called qigong really had the terrifying power that the referee had said!

Zhang Shan didn't keep the audience in suspense. The moment the referee stopped, the ki blast in Zhang Shan's hand flew out, turning into a beam of light and landing next to Nanwu.

Boom!

The ki blast exploded violently the moment it hit the ground, and Namo was thrown away by the shockwave from the explosion, crashing heavily outside the arena.

At this moment, everyone could see clearly where the ki blast had landed, which was now a crater three meters in diameter. Their reactions were varied.

Most people are dismissive, thinking it must be incredibly powerful, but it turns out it can only blast out such a trivial little crater.

The true martial artists were all visibly excited; this was genuine qigong! They had thought such power was just a legend, but now, the legend was right before their eyes! How could they not be thrilled?

Zhang Shan descended from the sky, faced the audience, and said with a smile, "I, the current senior disciple of the Turtle Hermit School, hereby announce that in three years, the Turtle Hermit School will be recruiting disciples. Anyone with perseverance is welcome to participate in the recruitment ceremony!"

"What? He's actually a disciple of the Turtle Hermit School!"

"The Turtle Hermit School? What's that?"

"Idiot! You may not have heard of the Turtle Hermit School, but you must have heard of Master Roshi, right? The Turtle Hermit School is the school that Master Roshi founded!"

"What! It's actually the legendary Master Roshi!"

Not many people know about the Turtle School, but everyone knows the name of Master Roshi, after all, the Turtle has visited the World Martial Arts Tournament many times.

Zhang Shan and Nan Wu returned backstage together. The next match was Sun Wukong versus the purple-haired beauty, and the two had already gone on stage.

Zhang Shan approached Krillin and said with a smile, "Krillin, you'd better train hard these next three years, otherwise you won't be able to hold your own and you'll ruin the reputation of the Turtle Hermit School!"

"What? Me?" Krillin pointed at himself in disbelief. "Could it be that what Senior Brother said about opening a martial arts school meant I should open it?"

Zhang Shan nodded: "That's right, only you are capable of handling this task!"

"Only me..." Klin's slightly frightened expression vanished instantly upon hearing Zhang Shan's trusting words! This was the first time in his life he had been trusted so much!

Sun Wukong doesn't count, he's an idiot.

Klin said firmly, "Don't worry, senior brother! I will never let you down!"

Seeing Krillin's fighting spirit, Zhang Shan nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Very good, I look forward to your performance in the future!"

While the two were talking, Sun Wukong had already defeated his opponent and returned to the backstage area. Seeing Zhang Shan and Krillin talking, he asked curiously, "Brother, what are you talking about with Krillin?"

“It’s about some things related to opening a martial arts school in the future,” Zhang Shan said with a smile. “If Wukong wants to make money, he can also take a sinecure at the martial arts school. Although he won’t earn too much, it will still provide him with three meals a day.”

"Great! I'll go to the martial arts school!" Sun Wukong laughed. He didn't know what a sinecure meant, but he knew that as long as meals were provided, he wouldn't have to worry about three meals a day. Just thinking about that kind of life made him happy!

"Alright, then you and Klin will be the vice masters of the martial arts school in a little while!" Zhang Shan said with a smile.

The next match was Krillin versus the Stinky Man. Krillin walked out with a relaxed expression, followed by Zhang Shan and Goku. Master Roshi, who was using the alias Jackie Chan, also followed.

Even now, Goku still hasn't realized that Jackie Chan is a newcomer, but Krillin does. After all, he's a normal person, and after scanning everyone present, he knows who Master Roshi is.

On the ring, Krillin looked at the tall, muscular man in front of him and thought to himself that it would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid, especially since the difference in their sizes was so obvious. No one in the audience had any confidence in Krillin, and even Krillin himself thought he was bound to lose.

Zhang Shan shouted, "Go for it, Krillin! Your current power is more than enough to defeat him instantly. Don't let your inner self defeat you!"

Upon hearing Zhang Shan's shout, Klin exclaimed in disbelief, "I can kill him instantly? Are you kidding me?"

Looking at the other person's tall figure, Kelin didn't believe Zhang Shan's words at all.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Shan covered his face with one hand, unable to bear the sight!

Klin's current behavior is completely due to his deep-seated inferiority complex! He had already defeated those two arrogant senior brothers and said goodbye to his past self, so why is he still so weak-willed when facing the enemy?

As the referee announced the start of the match, the stinky man strode towards Klin with an arrogant air, his face full of disdain. He didn't take Klin, a little guy, seriously at all. In the stinky man's eyes, only Zhang Shan was his biggest opponent.

As for old men like Jackie Chan with graying temples, they are no different from brats like Klin in his eyes—not worth mentioning!

As the stinky man drew closer and closer, Krillin's body trembled. He really didn't think he was a match for him!

"Krillin!" Goku shouted, "Punch! If you don't even have the courage to throw a punch, what's the point of all your training? Is it just to tremble in front of your enemies?"

However, Goku's encouragement had no effect whatsoever. Krillin's inferiority complex was ingrained in his bones. Once fear took hold of him, there was absolutely no possibility of him fighting again.

Seeing Klin like this, Zhang Shan felt helpless. As for disappointment? Not really, because he knew very well that Klin was just that kind of person.

Next, Krillin was chased all over the ring by the stinky man. His speed was so fast that he was completely toying with the stinky man. The audience could only see Krillin's body turn into a black shadow and move around the ring. The stinky man's attacks could not even touch a hair on Krillin's head, let alone land on him!

"That kid is fast!"

"I just saw the character for 'turtle' on his clothes. Could he also be a member of the Turtle Hermit School?"

"That's possible! Look, isn't the senior disciple of the Turtle School cheering for Krillin?"

"The crab-headed kid next to Zhang Shan is also wearing clothes with the character for 'turtle' printed on them. They must be from the same sect!"

After much speculation, everyone had a fairly accurate guess about the situation. However, they were somewhat mistaken in their assessment of Klin.

Because Krillin was always running around, everyone assumed he was a master of the Turtle School style, known for its speed. However, Krillin's strength was not to be underestimated.

At this moment, after running for a while, Krillin realized that his opponent hadn't even touched him once. He suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped. Looking at the panting, exhausted man in the distance, a bold idea came to Krillin's mind!

"I'm fast, he can't touch me. If I manage to punch him while I'm in the way..."

The idea was so audacious that Klin felt a chill run down his spine, but he couldn't suppress the thought.

"Just...give it a try?"

Whoosh!

Krillin's body blurred into a blur as he rushed out, instantly appearing behind the stinky man. His small fist swung out and landed on the stinky man's body.

Amidst everyone's expectant gaze, Klin's punch sank directly into the stinky man's body. The next moment, the stinky man felt a tremendous force coming from behind, and his body was instantly thrown into the air uncontrollably. After a series of upheavals, when he came to his senses, he was already dozens of meters in the air.

"Ahhh!"

Bang!
