Chapter 38

Seeing the pose General Blue struck, Master Roshi was taken aback. Out of respect for the martial arts, he gestured for Krillin and Yamcha to step back, then stepped forward and assumed a fighting stance.

The two observed each other for a while, and finally, General Blue, unable to hold his composure, let out a loud shout and charged at Master Roshi with lightning speed, aiming a punch straight at his head.

Seeing General Blue's speed, which was almost as fast as Krillin's, Master Roshi was taken aback. He hadn't expected to find such a skilled young fighter after living on the island for so many years. With a quick thought, he easily tilted his head to dodge the straight punch.

Seeing Master Roshi's movement, General Blue retracted his arm and simultaneously struck with a knife-hand towards Master Roshi's head. Seeing Master Roshi duck to avoid the attack, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He raised his right knee and aimed it at Master Roshi's lowered head.

Master Roshi, seeing the knee coming towards his face, quickly leaned back.

Seeing Master Roshi lose his balance, General Blue quickly stopped his knee mid-attack, paused for a moment, and then swiftly kicked at Master Roshi's lower body with his raised leg.

Impressed by this reaction, Master Roshi, without panic, used the momentum of leaning back, pushed off with his legs, and performed a backflip, kicking General Blue in the chin with his right foot, sending him to the ground.

"Damn!" Spitting out a mouthful of blood, General Blue supported himself with his hands, slowly stood up, and reassumed his fighting stance, glaring fiercely at Master Roshi, who stood calmly with his hands behind his back.

Staring at Master Roshi, who seemed full of vulnerabilities, General Blue found himself unsure of where to attack. Frustrated, he leaped into the air and kicked at Master Roshi, hoping to force him into a mistake with sheer force.

Watching him jump, Master Roshi cheerfully said to Yamcha and Krillin, who were watching from the side, "Remember not to jump around so much. In combat, you should use seven parts of your strength and reserve three parts. Jumping like that, no matter how much strength you reserve, leaves you with no way to dodge."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Roshi quickly moved under General Blue's body, then spun and jumped up, delivering an elbow strike. As General Blue heard Master Roshi's words, his face showed anger, frustration, and helplessness, and the elbow struck his back.

General Blue flew out, rolled on the ground twice, and punched the ground hard, turning around with a cry of "Damn!"

Seeing that he couldn't handle just an old man, let alone the two others standing nearby, General Blue quietly reached into his pocket, took out some ropes, and hid them behind his back.

Seeing Master Roshi still waiting for his attack, General Blue's eyes darted around. Suddenly, he kicked up a cloud of sand towards Master Roshi and used his special ability to control the ropes hidden behind his back, wrapping them around the three who were raising their hands to block the sand.

As the sand cloud obscured General Blue's figure, Master Roshi was cautious, watching the vague silhouette opposite him. He raised his hand to block the sand and stepped back, and Krillin and Yamcha, who were near Master Roshi, also stepped back in the same posture.

Just as they dodged the sand, the three felt their bodies tighten. Looking down, they saw that they were bound by ropes that had appeared from nowhere, and the binding method made it impossible to struggle.

Seeing Yamcha and Krillin writhing and struggling, and Master Roshi, who had stopped struggling upon realizing the situation, General Blue sneered and said, "You really don't know when to give up."

With that, he walked over to pick up his shirt and put it on.

After dressing, he ignored the bound trio and turned to Jing Tian and the others, saying, "Alright, be sensible and hand over the Dragon Radar. Don't waste my time and make me do it myself." He pointed a gun at Jing Tian.

"Ah! Master Jing Tian, run!"

"Be careful!"

Hearing Krillin and Yamcha's anxious shouts, Jing Tian glanced at Master Roshi, who was smirking at General Blue's words, and at Lanqi and Bulma, who were tightly gripping his shirt.

Jing Tian raised a finger and said to General Blue, "Handsome, look~"

"What?" General Blue's attention was drawn to Jing Tian's raised finger.

"Surprise Finger!" Jing Tian said softly.

As soon as Jing Tian spoke, a crackling sound of electricity came from his extended finger, followed by a bolt of lightning that struck General Blue, who was completely unprepared.

"Ah!!!" Struck by the lightning, General Blue's mouth opened wide, his neck veins bulged, and his eyes widened as he screamed in pain.

With a slight movement of his finger, Jing Tian, using the "Surprise Finger" he had developed from the "Ten Thousand Nations Surprise Palm," lifted General Blue into the air. Then, with a wave of his hand, the screaming General Blue was flung towards a nearby spacecraft, where he crashed and passed out.

Seeing this, Master Roshi and the others gaped in shock, looking at Jing Tian as if they had seen a ghost.

After using his ki to untie the ropes binding Master Roshi and the others, Master Roshi asked Jing Tian, puzzled, "Was that... a move similar to the 'Ten Thousand Nations Surprise Palm'?"

Jing Tian nodded and said, "Yes, after becoming proficient in controlling ki, I continued to train its flexibility and developed this move. It seems to be quite useful."

"Truly an impressive idea and talent..." Master Roshi sighed, shaking his head.

Seeing the big, bright eyes of Yamcha and Krillin, who were looking at him, Jing Tian said helplessly, "You won't be able to learn this now, no matter how much I teach you. You should focus on building a solid foundation with Master Roshi. Once your foundation is strong, you can develop techniques that suit your style and ideas. Of course, if you reach a certain level and want to learn, I'll teach you."

Hearing Jing Tian's words, Krillin and Yamcha nodded excitedly, and Master Roshi added seriously, "Jing Tian is right. Your main focus now is to build a solid foundation. Without a good base, learning anything in the future will be difficult. It's best to develop your own techniques, as Jing Tian suggested."

Seeing the respectful expressions on Krillin and Yamcha's faces, Master Roshi nodded in satisfaction. He then pointed to the unconscious soldiers on the ground and said, "Wake them up and have them take the man away." He then called to Jing Tian and turned to go back into the house.

Jing Tian watched the two busy with the task, then led Bulma and the others into the house, leaving the two to clean up the mess, muttering to themselves in frustration.
