In the blink of an eye, Sun Wuben and Master Roshi were only two meters apart. At this distance, they were already within the range of each other's fists. Sun Wuben clenched his fist, raised his thumb, and pressed down. This press seemed to have a strong force pressing into the ground, and at the same time, a strong rebound force shot out.
A blade light burst out from Sun Wuben's chest. That was Sun Wuben's palm blade.
With this press and insertion, Sun Wuben's movements were no longer as graceful as before. Instead, they were swift and fierce to the extreme, like a green prawn that was slowly swimming in the water and suddenly hunting for food.
Of course, Sun Wuben's movements weren't fast either. Sharpness was just a feeling in the eyes of others.
At this moment, Sun Wuben had already bared his fangs. Even though Master Roshi was prepared for this attack, his eyes still lit up.
"Good!"
Master Roshi bent his back, retracted his front hand, and shot out his back hand to meet Sun Wuben's blade hand. Master Roshi's body had already turned to the side like a startled shrimp. At the same time, one of his feet had already kicked Sun Wuben's ankle from below. This sudden attack was silent and extremely dangerous.
It could be said that Master Roshi had completely abandoned his identity as a senior. He completely regarded Sun Wuben as a real opponent. When he attacked, he bared his fangs and didn't hold back. When fighting with such an expert, it was impossible to hold back.
Sun Wuben retracted his body and shifted his center of gravity backward. His front foot had already lifted to avoid the attack. Then, Sun Wuben's body continued to move backward. His foot turned into a blade and fiercely chopped towards Master Roshi.
The blade of his foot chopped empty air, and a fist quietly appeared under Sun Wuben's ribs.
Master Roshi and Sun Wuben were in a fight. Their movements were so fast that they were blurred. However, it was very strange because such fast movements didn't make any sound at all. It was like a silent movie.
"What happened?"
The audience stared with their eyes wide open. They did not notice that there was no sound from the fight between the two in the ring. What they noticed was that the figures of Sun Wuben and Master Roshi were completely blurred.
In order to compete with Sun Wuben in martial arts, Master Roshi would not use his strength to bully others. Sun Wuben also did not use his strength in order to make the match more exciting. However, their physical fitness was too strong. Even if they suppressed their strength and speed to a very low level, when they got serious, their movements became blurry in the eyes of ordinary people.
Of course, it wasn't that such a situation didn't occur in yesterday's preliminary round. It was just that every time a blur appeared, the match would immediately end.
And this time, Master Roshi and Sun Wuben were evenly matched, and it was hard to tell who would win. That was why everyone was surprised to find that the movements of the contestants were so fast.
"What kind of skill is this?"
"Masked Superman and Jackie Chan are indeed experts who made it to the quarter-finals!" "They're so fast that they're blurred!"
"It's too scary! I can't even see their moves with my naked eye! "
…
Then, the entire stadium erupted.
In the VIP seats in the front row of the audience, the golden-haired Da Xiong, who originally wanted to see Sun Wuben make a fool of himself, had his eyes wide open. His forehead was sweating profusely. He was a professional martial artist. From the first day he started practicing fist techniques, he had specially trained his eyes.
But now that they were in a match, a professional martial artist like him actually could not see their movements clearly. Wasn't this too ridiculous?
Master Roshi's various exquisite fist techniques were endless. His fist techniques became more and more profound, more and more mysterious. However, no matter how he displayed his hidden moves, he could not gain the slightest advantage.
This was different from the battle with Monkey King.
When Master Roshi and Monkey King fought, Monkey King could take a beating. Even if he was hit by Master Roshi, even if it was a heavy blow that would normally be fatal, Monkey King could withstand it and become stronger as he took the beating.
Kling was more or less the same.
However, Sun Wuben was different. After exchanging so many moves with Master Roshi, the two of them had not even touched each other's clothes, much less hit each other. Usually, halfway through a move, the other person had no choice but to dodge and use a better move at the same time to counterattack, which was then dodged.
In addition, every move of the two of them blended into the wind and became one with the air. Therefore, there was almost no sound of the wind. This naturally created a very strange effect.
"Master Tsurugi, they?" Dumpling was confused and could not help but ask.
Tsurugi took off the sunglasses on his face for the first time. His eyes shone with a dazzling light. "Avoiding the strong and attacking the weak. Every move and style of these two people is aimed at the opponent's flaws and weak points, forcing the opponent to dodge. This is the situation now. This Old Tortoise's martial arts cultivation has already reached the peak. Looks like he hasn't fallen behind all these years. "
Although Tsurugi did not like Master Roshi, he could not help but admire his old rival's martial arts skills.
"Then what about Sun Wuben's skills?" Dumpling asked curiously.
"Hmph!" Tsurugi harrumphed with a stern face. "It's normal for Shin-gumi people to have such skills!"
"Shin-gumi? What's that? "Dumpling asked. Tsurugi was annoyed and waved his hand. "If you don't practice martial arts, you'll end up with nothing. Shin-gumi people are only good at martial arts. Everything else is not worth mentioning. Watch carefully. You'll know about Shin-gumi in the future."
"Ah?"
Dumpling was confused by the scolding, but he tactfully turned his head and watched carefully. Sun Wuben and Master Roshi's battle movements were naturally very blurry in the eyes of ordinary people, but Dumpling saw it as if it was in slow motion. Every detail was very clear.
Although Dumpling could not immediately understand the exquisite martial techniques displayed by the two of them, every time he saw a move and carefully pondered over it, when he figured out the profoundness within, the feeling was as refreshing as drinking soft drinks during the hottest days of summer.
However, this efficiency was too low. Often, by the time Dumpling figured out a move, the two of them would have already exchanged thousands of moves. In the end, Dumpling simply stopped thinking and just watched the two of them fight.
On the other side, Kling, Monkey King, Yamu Tea, and Tien Shin were all martial arts geniuses. Although they could not understand Sun Wuben and Master Roshi's moves, they could still see that the moves were very powerful and that their realms were very high.
Therefore, they also stared with all their might, for fear of missing a move or half a move.
As time passed, Master Roshi displayed all the exquisite martial arts he had studied for hundreds of years. However, Sun Wuben simply became stronger when facing a stronger opponent. Master Roshi's moves were exquisite, but Sun Wuben's were even more exquisite. In the end, except for the Energy Wave, Master Roshi's other moves were used up, but he still did not gain the upper hand.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, Master Roshi retreated several feet.
"What's the matter?"
Sun Wuben stopped punching and retreated to his previous position. He looked at Master Roshi doubtfully. After fighting for so long, Master Roshi's forehead was clearly covered in dense sweat.
"Young man, don't you know how to give in to an old man?" Master Roshi chuckled and was about to continue speaking.
"Both of you, please wait a moment." The host climbed onto the ring and said passionately, "The fight between the two of you just now was simply an eye-opener. However, the two of you moved too fast. Everyone could only see two blurry things colliding. The specific movements of the fight could not be seen clearly. Therefore, everyone is very curious. How did you fight just now?"
"Just now, this Begging For Defeat and I exchanged a total of more than 100,000 moves." Master Roshi immediately showed off. "It's hard to say exactly. How about this, I'll show you one move at a time. First, when Begging For Defeat entered the attack range of both sides, he used the Heart Blade on me. Of course, this was not a real blade. He used his hand as a blade. After that, I used it …"
Sun Wuben was speechless. However, he knew that the World Martial Arts Conference was not an extremely formal competition. It was normal for interviews to happen in the middle of a fight like this.
Fortunately, the host did not really let Master Roshi demonstrate all of his moves. Soon, he announced that the competition had resumed.
"Young man, you've already reached the peak of perfection in terms of moves." Master Roshi looked at Sun Wuben and said with some emotion, "You said that you're not from Shin-gumi. I really don't believe you."
"You flatter me. You're not bad yourself. You're stronger than I imagined." Sun Wuben also said with emotion, "As for my identity, you'll know soon enough. I'm definitely not from Shin-gumi."
"Is that so? I don't care whether you're from Shin-gumi or not. Young man, I have nothing to say about your current martial arts techniques. However, martial arts techniques are just a part of martial arts cultivation. " Master Roshi looked up at the sky. His voice was low and there was a hint of nostalgia in it. "When I was young, I was also diligent. I repeatedly pursued the ingenuity and profoundness of my moves. However, something happened later."
Sun Wuben's eyelids twitched.
"Master Roshi isn't talking about King Piccolo, is he?"
Master Roshi said in a sad voice, "That was a catastrophe. In front of the powerful Demon King, no matter how ingenious our moves were, they were just crude punches. At that time, my sect was annihilated. Even my master … only my junior brother and I were left alone. This incident woke me up. It made me understand that moves are ultimately the lowest of martial arts techniques. The true martial arts cultivation is not about fighting for victory, but about the sublimation of life and the transformation of the human body itself. And the external manifestation of this is infinite strength."
"So that's how it is." Sun Wuben's eyes flashed with understanding.
In the original Dragon Ball, Monkey King and Kling studied martial arts under Master Roshi. Master Roshi only taught them the cultivation of the physical body. He never taught them half a move. Even if there were some basic moves, they were hidden in the cultivation of the physical body.
Even when Kling and Monkey King asked about martial arts moves, Master Roshi flew into a rage. In the entire Dragon Ball, it was only once that he was so strict with Monkey King and Kling.
Then, in the Martial Arts Competition, Master Roshi pretended to be Jackie Chan and fought with Monkey King. He only played tricks or used superficial martial arts like the Afterimage Punch. He never used profound martial arts like the one he used against Sun Wuben today.
In the past, Sun Wuben didn't understand the Dragon Ball, but now he understood.
"Old man, a poor man can break a penny into two cents, three cents, four cents, or even more. It can't compare to a family that has millions of dollars. A hundred dollars can be used as a dollar." Sun Wuben smiled, "Old man, I understand what you're saying."
"It's good that you understand." Master Roshi sighed softly. His gaze fell on Sun Wuben again, "I admit that I can't beat you in terms of moves. Then, next, I'll have to increase my strength. Logically speaking, when facing a young man like you, my martial arts can't beat you. I should automatically admit defeat. However, I must win this battle. Moreover, I don't want you to go down the wrong path. So, be careful! "
"Actually, I've been suppressing my strength to compete with you." Sun Wuben said lightly. The battle just now seemed fierce, but in fact, to Sun Wuben, it was just like taking a stroll after a meal.
"Is that so?"
Master Roshi raised his white eyebrows, "Young man, perhaps you're hiding some of your strength. However, the strength of a true martial arts expert is not something you can imagine."
"Old man." Sun Wuben laughed, "Don't you find it strange that on such a May day, with the sun shining high in the sky, I fought with you for 178,329 moves, but I didn't even break a sweat. I didn't even pant!"
What?
Master Roshi was stunned for a moment before coming to a realization.
