Chapter 80

Looking at the crowded entrance of the grand event, Jing Tian used his wristwatch to contact the group led by Master Roshi, agreeing to meet at the registration desk. He then led the three women towards the registration area.

After turning a corner, they heard Krillin's loud shout: "Senior Brother Jing Tian~ Senior Brother Jing Tian~ Over here, over here."

Jing Tian looked up and saw Krillin jumping and waving at him not far from the registration table. Jing Tian glanced at Master Roshi, Tien, and the two mascots, Pu'er and Oolong, who were with Krillin, and smiled, waving back. He then led the three women over.

"Hello, Mr. Wu Tian. It's been a long time. You're still as robust as ever," Jing Tian said to Master Roshi after nodding to Tien and the others. Bulma and Launch, who were already familiar with everyone, had already gone up to greet them.

"Hehehe, I'm getting old, getting old. It's your generation's turn now," Master Roshi said, looking at the three women behind Jing Tian, then teasingly said with a 'you're doing well' expression.

"Haha, not at all, you're still as energetic," Jing Tian flattered Master Roshi again, then held Xiaolongnü's hand and introduced her: "This is Xiaolongnü. You can just call her Miss Long." Pausing, he continued, "She's a good friend of Bulma and Launch..."

Seeing the envy and jealousy on Master Roshi and the others' faces, Jing Tian felt a bit smug and continued introducing Xiaolongnü: "Long'er, this is Master Roshi, Mr. Wu Tian, my martial arts启蒙teacher."

Hearing this, Xiaolongnü quickly let go of Jing Tian's hand and solemnly bowed to Master Roshi, saying, "Xiaolongnü greets Mr. Wu Tian."

Master Roshi was taken aback by Xiaolongnü's solemnity but quickly recovered, putting on a serious expression and raising his hand to gesture, "Miss Long, please stand up. I don't have so many rules, just be more relaxed in the future."

Xiaolongnü bowed again, then stood up and retreated to Jing Tian's side.

Seeing Master Roshi's rare seriousness, Jing Tian said with a smile, "Mr. Wu Tian, don't mind her. Long'er was raised with a strong emphasis on respecting teachers and valuing the way. You'll get used to it."

Master Roshi was taken aback, then his face turned serious, "Oh? Don't underestimate it. This is the true spirit of a martial artist. I didn't expect there to still be martial artists who value tradition like this. I really want to exchange and learn from them."

Jing Tian nodded, not explaining further, and then introduced Xiaolongnü to Tien, Krillin, Oolong, and Pu'er one by one. Xiaolongnü greeted each of them solemnly, making them quickly tidy up and respond.

After the introductions, Bulma came to Jing Tian's side and asked Master Roshi curiously, "Where's Goku? Hasn't he come yet? I remember Jing Tian said he called them to train at our place, why didn't they come?"

Master Roshi replied, "Goku hasn't been in touch since he started training alone. As for Tien and Krillin, I think they're not ready yet, so I plan to train them for a while longer before sending them."

Hearing this, Jing Tian thought for a moment. After this tournament, he would need to teach Master Roshi and the others some basic internal martial arts. After all, enemies would keep coming in this world, and he couldn't always be the one to save the day. It would be better to quickly improve everyone's strength, so he could avoid trouble in the future.

Thinking this, Jing Tian went to Master Roshi's side and said, "Mr. Wu Tian, don't resist, just try to feel it."

Saying this, he grabbed Master Roshi's arm, and a stream of internal energy flowed into Master Roshi's body, circulating through the twelve main meridians and finally forming a seed of internal energy in his dantian.

"What is this?" Master Roshi was surprised, feeling the energy seed in his abdomen and the route the energy had taken, he asked Jing Tian uncertainly.

"Mr. Wu Tian, try to circulate the energy once along the route I just showed you," Jing Tian said, not explaining further, just reminding Master Roshi to try it.

Master Roshi didn't hesitate, closed his eyes, and concentrated, following Jing Tian's instructions.

A moment later, Master Roshi suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining as he looked at Jing Tian, waiting for an explanation.

Seeing Master Roshi's expression, Jing Tian knew he had felt the benefits of the internal energy circulation and said, "We usually absorb energy passively, but this method allows us to actively absorb the energy around us. With this method, the speed of cultivation will greatly increase. However, there are also drawbacks. Rapid improvement in cultivation speed can lead to instability in mental state and fine control of energy. But that's something you'll need to manage."

Master Roshi nodded slowly, his face serious, and said softly, "This is a major transformation in martial arts. Where did you learn this?"

Jing Tian thought for a moment and said, "This is a secret technique from Long'er's lineage. Her lineage is a hermit cultivation school, and now only Long'er remains, so I learned it from her."

"Oh? Didn't you use any tricks? Such important techniques are usually not passed on outside their lineage," Master Roshi asked seriously after hearing Jing Tian's words.

Jing Tian waved his hand and said, "No, I love her too much to use any tricks. These are just the basic foundations of their techniques. It's fine to pass them on to us, as long as their unique techniques are not spread."

"That's good," Master Roshi nodded, finally feeling relieved.

Checking the time, Master Roshi said to Jing Tian, "It's almost time. I'll go register secretly. By the way, are you not participating this time?"

Jing Tian shook his head, smiling and said, "No, my current strength is not suitable. If I participate, it would be bullying. I'll just cheer for you from the sidelines."

Master Roshi nodded and said, "That's true. But with the technique you gave me, everyone's strength will improve faster, and one day we'll catch up to you."

Jing Tian secretly rolled his eyes but said, "After this tournament, let's go back to Roshi Island together. You can plan how to teach them then."

Master Roshi nodded, then, looking around furtively at the group anxiously waiting for Goku, he quietly ran to the registration desk to sign up.

When Master Roshi returned, he saw that no one had noticed his little trick and breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, a sharp voice came from the side, "Oh~ Isn't that Master Roshi?"

Everyone turned to see an old man with sunglasses, a sharp nose, and a monkey-like face, wearing a Qing Dynasty robe, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at Master Roshi with a mocking expression.

Seeing the man's attire, Jing Tian subconsciously narrowed his eyes, a feeling of disgust rising within him.
