Chapter 42

Facing Jing Tian's gesture, Bulma didn't doubt anything and obediently followed his instructions, not moving forward to pay the money.

The fortune-telling granny glanced at Jing Tian with her eyes and revealed a barely noticeable smile, continuing, "That won't do. Rules are rules and can't be changed casually. Besides, if you don't have money, there are other ways. What do you think? Want to try?"

Leping and Krillin exchanged puzzled glances and then accepted the proposal on behalf of little Goku.

"Then follow me," the fortune-telling granny said, turning around on her crystal ball and leading the way out.

Exiting through the back door, they saw a circular stone arena standing in the middle of a lake. Upon reaching the arena, under the puzzled gazes of Leping and the others, the fortune-telling granny said, "You will take turns fighting the contestants I send out. The winner continues, the loser is eliminated. If you win against the five contestants I send, I will give you a free fortune-telling. Understand?"

Hearing the fortune-telling granny's words, Leping sighed in relief, and little Goku, hearing that there would be a fight, looked eager to try.

Krillin, with a disdainful look, proudly placed his hands on his hips and said, "Hey, old lady, we have three people who have achieved good results in the World Martial Arts Tournament. Don't deny it if you lose."

The fortune-telling granny, hearing Krillin's words, said with a sinister look, "Hehe, is that so? That makes it even more interesting..."

Then, ignoring the eager few, she looked at Jing Tian, who was standing between Bulma and the blonde Launch, and asked, "What about you, kid? Are you participating? Although I don't want you to, the rules allow it."

Jing Tian, under everyone's gaze, smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'll pass. I haven't learned martial arts..."

"Oh~ hehe, that's great..." The fortune-telling granny, hearing Jing Tian's response, laughed excitedly.

Then, looking at the disheartened Leping and Krillin, she said with a sinister smile, "Alright, how many of you will participate?"

"Granny, we three will participate!" Goku answered eagerly.

"You plan to fight three against five? Hehehe, I advise you not to be overconfident..."

"No problem, hehe, I think the opponents are too pitiful," Krillin said nonchalantly with a smile.

"Alright then." The fortune-telling granny didn't try to dissuade them further. She then explained the rules of the fight: one would lose if they admitted defeat or fell into the lake. After that, with the encouragement of the crowd, she called out her vampire to start the first match against Krillin.

Watching Krillin being constantly suppressed on the stage, Jing Tian leaned over to Master Roshi and said, "Looks like this kid needs more training. He's getting a bit too cocky. How about sending him to the Lookout for training?"

Master Roshi nodded, looking at the flustered Krillin on the stage and said, "His willpower is still lacking. The chances of him succeeding at the Lookout are too low. Let's focus on the basics for now. After he participates in a few more World Martial Arts Tournaments and faces more setbacks, we'll see."

Jing Tian, hearing this, nodded in agreement and said, "Krillin has great potential. When we get back, you should push him more. You're the expert in this area. If you need anything, let me know. I have a lot of training equipment."

"Alright, that's a good idea," Master Roshi nodded, then turned his attention to Krillin.

Jing Tian, on the other hand, couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of Krillin's future suffering.

Then, watching Upa defeat the vampire with his garlic breath and the human cross, Jing Tian didn't know what to say...

Next, Leping faced the invisible man.

Jing Tian watched Leping's helpless performance on the stage and shook his head, then said to Master Roshi, "Leping is older and his physique isn't like mine. His potential isn't as great. In the future, guide him more on the use of ki."

Master Roshi, also feeling helpless, nodded in agreement with Jing Tian's suggestion.

Seeing Krillin run over and pull Master Roshi and Bulma towards the arena, Jing Tian quickly held them back.

Jing Tian didn't want Bulma to expose herself like in the original story. His woman couldn't be seen by others.

Under Krillin's puzzled gaze, Jing Tian turned his head towards the lake. Suddenly, a large amount of water flew into the air and then scattered into countless droplets, like rain falling onto the arena. Leping easily discovered the blurry opponent revealed by the rain and won the match with the opponent's admission of defeat.

The fortune-telling granny, frustrated, warned that outsiders were not allowed to interfere in the match next time, and then led everyone to the "Devil's Toilet"...

Entering the new arena, Jing Tian, sitting in the stands, couldn't help but comment on the aptly named venue...

Inside, the entire building had two tall stone demon statues sitting on toilets on either side, their tongues forming a three-meter-wide stone bridge connecting them. Below the bridge, the lava was still bubbling.

As the group, seeing the arena for the first time, shouted in excitement, Leping, feeling weak in the knees, walked out of one demon's mouth and stood on the tongue stage.

The subsequent match was not very exciting, with Leping being one-sidedly abused.

In the end, Leping, helpless, admitted defeat and stepped down, replaced by little Goku.

Jing Tian, watching Goku's desire for battle, who automatically lowered his strength to enjoy the fight, felt somewhat helpless. This habit would accompany Goku throughout his life. Every time he encountered an enemy, he would suppress his strength to enjoy the fight before getting serious.

Jing Tian thought that if Goku didn't have this habit, he could have quickly eliminated the enemy before they transformed in the future battles against Frieza and Cell...

With Goku easily winning two matches, the group, at Gohan's suggestion, returned to the outdoor arena.

Watching the two start fighting, Jing Tian said to Master Roshi, "Master, the one with the ring on his head is dead, right? And he's using the Turtle School's techniques. Do we have such a person in the Turtle School?"

Hearing Jing Tian's hint, Master Roshi was taken aback, then relaxed and said mysteriously, "Hehe, I already know who he is. Let's watch the match."

Jing Tian, speechless at Master Roshi's mysterious act, thought to himself, "I already know, why do you need to say it?" Then, deciding to tease Master Roshi, he said, "Oh no, his strength seems to be even greater than yours. Could it be your teacher, Mr. Tien?"

Hearing Jing Tian's guess, Master Roshi looked embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, remaining silent.

Seeing the effect, Jing Tian let Master Roshi off and refocused on the match.
