Chapter 14 Battle against Namo
At this moment, Lan Fang, panting, calmed down and thought about what Shang Yun had just said. She seemed to understand something, slowly stood up, picked up her clothes from the ground, put them on, straightened them, gave Shang Yun a deep look, and then, to everyone's bewildered expression, turned and jumped off the stage.
Shang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his Vajra Prajna Power, and looked at the host, "We can announce it now."
"Huh? Oh! I declare that the winner of this match is Shang Yun."
Shang Yun won and successfully advanced to the finals.
Soon, the top eight contestants were selected: Jackie Chan (in the form of Master Roshi), Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, Namu, Patrian, Kiron, and Shang Yun.
The final match was also randomly paired.
The first match was between Klin and Batrian. Batrian was a foul-smelling man who fought using disgusting attacks such as various body odors and sticky phlegm. After learning about his methods, Klin felt uncomfortable and dared not fight him at close range. The audience below the stage couldn't stand it even from a distance and retreated. In the end, Batrian sat on Klin and let out a foul fart, which made him unable to wake up. Just as Batrian was about to deliver his final blow, Shang Yun shouted to Klin, "Klin, wake up! It's all an illusion, it's all in your mind. You don't have a nose, you can't smell the stench!"
After realizing what had happened, Klin quickly knocked Batlian down, and then, in a retaliatory move, farted right into Batlian's nose, knocking the foul-smelling man unconscious. The host, wearing a gas mask, went on stage and announced Klin as the winner.
Then Yamcha enters the ring. Unfortunately for Yamcha, his opponent is Master Roshi, who has transformed into a dragon. Yamcha initially launches a fierce attack on Master Roshi, unleashing his signature move, the "Wolf Fang Fist," but Master Roshi sees it as mere child's play. Within a few moves, Master Roshi defeats Yamcha, knocking him off the stage. Yamcha suffers a regrettable defeat. Master Roshi advances.
Next up was Sun Wukong versus Jiro, a fat pterosaur whose special move was "Magic Gum," which could paralyze anyone hit, leaving them unable to move and only able to passively take hits. At the start of the match, the two fought fiercely, their blows landing squarely. Jiro, with his massive size, had a lot of presence, but his actual strength was inferior to Sun Wukong's. Later, Jiro used his "Magic Gum" to temporarily restrain Sun Wukong, unleashing a barrage of attacks. However, Sun Wukong eventually broke free, and Jiro, seeing the situation was unfavorable, immediately surrendered. Sun Wukong won.
Next up is Shang Yun versus Nan Wu. Nan Wu is a respectable martial artist. He participates in the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament not for fame or fortune. Nan Wu comes from a village that suffers from severe water shortage. His purpose in participating in the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament is to win the prize money to help the village solve its water problem. This shows that he is kind-hearted and has a strong sense of responsibility.
Namo is very powerful and has a firm will; he is a true ascetic. In my previous life, when I read comics, Namo could ride the Somersault Cloud, which can only be ridden by those with pure hearts and clear minds. Namo's ability to ride the Somersault Cloud indicates that his heart is relatively pure and he doesn't have many evil thoughts.
The two entered the arena one after the other, bowed to each other, and assumed fighting stances, but did not make a move. Both were searching for each other's weaknesses. Time passed by, and fortunately, there was no time limit in the final. The audience below the stage was getting impatient and began to shout and curse. Both of them were determined and remained unmoved, continuing to observe each other.
Goku and Krillin looked at the two with curiosity. Master Roshi stopped chatting with the beautiful women and looked at Shang Yun on the stage with a hint of appreciation. He didn't expect his disciple to have such a temperament.
Finally, under pressure from the audience, the host had to go on stage and urge the two to start fighting, at least to move them a little.
Shang Yun smiled and nodded, then put his hands together and said to Nanwu, "Master Nanwu, please make the first move. I am good at defense."
Nanwu was slightly taken aback, not expecting Shang Yun to call him "Master." He felt a little awkward. In addition, he had previously admired Shang Yun's performance. However, he had to win the competition, as his fellow villagers were waiting for him.
"Then I'll have to offend you." Nanwu bowed again with his hands clasped together, and after seeing Shang Yun nod, he quickly rushed towards Shang Yun.
Nanwu simultaneously launched a rapid attack with both hands, aiming for Shangyun's chest. Shangyun was already in a defensive stance, so he was naturally not hit. He retreated with both feet, creating distance between himself and Nanwu. Nanwu relentlessly pursued him, constantly changing his attack moves with both hands. Shangyun still did not retaliate, but simply retreated with both legs and swayed his body to dodge.
Just as he was about to reach the edge of the ring, Shang Yun suddenly stopped retreating, pushed off with both feet, jumped into the air, somersaulted and landed behind Nan Wu. As soon as his left foot landed, he pushed off with his right foot and was about to kick Nan Wu, who was about to rush off the ring.
At this moment, Nanwu panicked a little. He didn't expect that this seemingly honest kid would actually use dirty tricks. He hurriedly pulled back his legs and quickly waved his hands to try to stop his forward charge. However, since he was already close to the edge of the arena, although his speed slowed down, he still rushed out. Just as he was about to land on the ground, Nanwu turned around and lay on the edge of the arena with his legs bent, without touching the ground outside the arena.
Just as Nanwu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Shangyun rushing towards him, one foot about to kick his face. Just as Nanwu panicked, Shangyun suddenly stopped a meter away from Nanwu and looked at him with a smile.
Nanwu used all his strength to climb onto the arena, looking at Shang Yun with a puzzled expression.
Shang Yun smiled and said, "Master Namo, you have been careless. You should know that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Master, you should not go easy on me just because I am a child."
Upon hearing this, Nanwu knew that Shang Yun was showing him respect, and he put his hands together and said, "I have learned a lot."
Master Roshi, who was playing Jackie Chan in the audience, also put away his playful thoughts and watched Shang Yun's fight seriously. He thought to himself, "This kid is not bad. He is not controlled by fame and fortune. Very good. His future achievements will definitely surpass mine."
The two assumed fighting stances again and launched their attacks simultaneously, clashing together. Namo's attack style was characterized by its wide, powerful, and heavy strikes, possessing considerable offensive power. Shang Yun knew his weakness lay in his lack of combat experience and that he was no match for Namo. He wanted to use this match to hone his fighting skills and experience, so he did not intend to use the Vajra Prajna Power, but instead used the Turtle Hermit Style fighting techniques against Namo.
The two exchanged blows, one punch and one kick, back and forth. At first, Shang Yun was always the one being attacked, but rarely managed to land a hit on Nan Wu. Although Nan Wu's moves were wide and sweeping, they were also fast and rhythmic. He could always find an opening to dodge Shang Yun's attacks and launch a counterattack at the same time. Without a fierce attack, Shang Yun felt as if he was being attacked by many people and was somewhat unable to defend himself. Fortunately, Shang Yun had cultivated the Vajra Prajna Power, which passively increased his physical defense even when he didn't use it. After taking dozens of punches and kicks from Nan Wu, Shang Yun gradually adapted to Nan Wu's attack rhythm and began to counterattack.
