Chapter 1326 Nemesis (2)
The prize money for the World's No. 50 Martial Arts Tournament is coins, enough to sustain you and the Pineapple Martial Arts School for a long time. At least for a short while, you won't have to worry about money.
May 756, 5. After the competition, you became good friends with Son Goku, Krillin, and Yamcha. At this point, Son Goku looked like Jackie Chan. Although he looked like a child, he was actually 13 years old, just two years younger than you. He also had a pretty straightforward personality. You'd cheated him out of a lot of money, and he'd always pay for our meals.
From May 756th to June 5nd, 13, you gradually expanded the player base. Now, in addition to the Southern Kingdom, players can be found in the Western Capital and the Northern Region. You've experimented with it, and for every task completed by each player, you'll receive around 756% of the experience. This small amount adds up to a ridiculous amount.
[The tasks Xiaoposhu assigns them include, but are not limited to, joining a gym, apprehending wanted criminals, exploring areas, challenging powerful opponents, learning skills, and refining martial arts. They can gain experience through these tasks and use this experience to learn skills from you or other NPCs.]
[Of course, as the world's number one martial arts tournament champion witnessed by the players themselves, you are the undisputed number one in the world in the eyes of the players. Not to mention you're so handsome, a true protagonist, and your art style is different from everyone else's. You're the only one who wields a sword. This must be a game where swordsmen who inherit the ancient martial arts style dominate other styles!]
Therefore, the number of players surrounding you, learning skills from you, and trying to trigger quests is also the largest.
[To some extent, the vast majority of players are already tied to you. They can provide you with a large amount of cannon fodder and rich experience at any time.]
[And over the next two months, you also gained a skill called Holy Spirit Swordsmanship through a wanted bandit side quest. It has a total of twenty-three moves, consumes a lot of experience points, but each move is more powerful than the last.]
August 756, 8. During this time, you've accumulated a great deal of experience, and after acquiring the talent to defeat your nemesis, you've received another side quest. This quest requires you to defeat Piccolo, who has regained his youth through the Dragon Balls and is attempting to rule the world.
[Lord Piccolo? You vaguely remember this happening in the plot. He even attacked the world capital, Zhongdu, and even forced the king to abdicate, becoming the King of Earth himself.]
[And the enemy's fighting power seems to be significantly stronger than Goku and Tien Shinhan at this moment, with at least 19 Hokunobi. If Goku hadn't used the protagonist cheat and unleashed his Saiyan potential in a desperate counterattack, the Earth would have been truly destroyed. According to Xiaoposhu, if you rush into action, your chances of winning on the road of fate are less than 3%.]
[While you're certainly confident, with the power of 12 against the power of at least 19, there's still a chance of failure. Fortunately, you possess the talent of Nemesis, destined to be no less capable in a fight. At worst, you can just observe from the shadows and slowly attack when your strength isn't up to par.]
According to the plot, since Piccolo has regained his youth through the Dragon Balls, he will then travel to the world's capital, Kesilujin City. All he needs to do there is wait and see, secretly observing and searching for the enemy's weaknesses.
[Although this seems a bit shady, according to the old man who carries me around, it's not shady at all. Assessing the situation, striking back, and seeking a fatal blow is the third level of a swordsman. Such a swordsman can barely be considered a decent figure.]
Before facing Lord Piccolo, you chose to use up all your accumulated experience. During this time, you gained enough experience to level up martial arts like the Art of Immortality and the Nine Swords of Dugu to higher levels. You also gained enough experience to learn the Holy Spirit Sword Technique. Although it was only enough to level up to Sword Twenty-Two, it was still enough to significantly increase your strength.
From August 756th to August 8nd, 19, as depicted in the original story, Piccolo invaded the King's Castle on the day of the 756th anniversary ceremony of the current King's reign, defeating countless military guards and martial artists along the way. He successfully intercepted the King and forced him to abdicate by destroying the city streets with an energy wave.
After ascending to the throne, Piccolo announced on national television his intention to conquer the world and turn it into a living hell. He abolished laws, causing chaos and rampant banditry. To commemorate his ascension, he personally destroyed various regions of Earth in order by drawing lots on a specific day each year. The Western Capital was chosen as the first location.
You didn't rush into action, but instead observed several of Piccolo's battles. He was indeed stronger than you, but only to a limited extent. Now that you had your nemesis, you easily found many strategies to counter him.
Just as he was about to leave for the Western Capital, you challenged him to a duel. The battle took place outside the palace. According to the advice of the old man who accompanied him, a swordsman without a perfect appearance and elegant attire is like walking in the night without a sword, lacking seven points of sword spirit.
You agree with this, feeling like you've been led astray by your old man. Now, you change your clothes almost every time you appear in front of the players. So, when you face Piccolo, you're dressed in white, your hair neatly combed, your sword pointed at Piccolo, looking like a peerless swordsman, making the players stare. Tien Shinhan, who's also about to challenge Piccolo, looks quite silly with his bald head and muscular upper body.
When facing Lord Piccolo, your Holy Spirit Swordsmanship flowed like flowing water, unleashing swords from one to eighteen, each with incredible speed and sharpness. From nineteen to twenty-one, Lord Piccolo could no longer withstand the overwhelming sword power, and was pierced through by your celestial-like sword. At that moment, a white cloud flew over the horizon.
This amazing sword move that saved the world was witnessed by everyone. At this moment, cheers echoed across the entire planet.
Completing this quest grants you three skills: "Two Sleeves of Green Snake," "Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Wall," and "One Sword Immortal Kneeling." According to the accompanying grandfather, these sword techniques are nearing the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Mastering them fully will allow you to reach the fourth level of swordsmanship, making dealing with the next enemy a breeze.
You stare at the astronomical amount of experience required on the panel, lost in thought. Then you ask him what level of swordsmanship he's currently at. His answer is still quite provocative. He says he's the one who sets the standards, and he can no longer be limited by them.
Before his death, Piccolo the Great Demon King spat out an egg imbued with all his power, from which his son, Piccolo, was born. You could have stopped it, but considering the subsequent plot and the possible subsequent main plot, you silently lowered your sword.
[Sure enough, the next quest you triggered is to win the 23rd Martial Arts Tournament three years later and defeat Piccolo. This should be a task you can accomplish with just your hands.]
