Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Compared to Goku, who's more indifferent to fame and fortune, and doesn't care about being the savior, you're the type who, perhaps influenced by your old man, is eager to take full credit for even a small contribution. No one can take the credit away from you. When you defeated Piccolo, your savior status was already sealed.

As the new champion of the martial arts tournament and savior, and with impeccable looks, you have undoubtedly become Earth's superhero, just like Earth's Superman. (You have achieved the milestone: Universal Superman)

[As a result, your Pineapple Martial Arts School has become the third highest-ranked martial arts school in the world, alongside the Kame-sen-ryu and Crane-sen-ryu. The use of swords has also become the mainstream in this world.]

From August 756 to July 8, Dragon Ball gradually became one of the most popular games on Earth. Currently, there are over 759 million players online at the same time, and with the limited number of accounts available, it's hard to get one.

[You are the recognized protagonist and national idol in "Dragon Ball." Unfortunately, the original protagonist, Son Goku, is considered to be the protagonist's henchman and one of the important supporting characters. In your opinion, this is simply a reversal of the Tian Gang.]

[Also, during this time, you've essentially upgraded all of your skills to Grandmaster level, and even unlocked Sword Twenty-Three. Further upgrades require astronomical amounts of experience, making the cost-effectiveness quite high. This has also significantly boosted your strength, bringing you almost to the level of a cosmic elite warrior.]

According to the old man, once your swordsmanship reaches a certain level, you must sheathe your sword and cultivate your mind. This marks the beginning of your entry into the fifth level of the swordsman realm. The fifth level is the dividing line between mortal swordsmen and transcendent sword cultivators. The sixth level is even more challenging. Once you break through, you can reach the level of a terrestrial immortal and be called a sword immortal.

[Sword cultivation is a profession that requires constant accumulation of experience. By then, killing a Super Saiyan will be a piece of cake.]

"No, why would you want to kill a Super Saiyan? I have to admit, you were swayed by the other party's promise and didn't bother asking what realm they were in. You planned to wait until after the 23rd Martial Arts Tournament to immediately begin sheathing and cultivating your mind in order to advance to a new realm."

In September of 757, you and Sun Wukong ascended the Karin Tower and met the Cat Immortal. To your amazement, this cat possessed nearly ten times the strength of Zhu Baokun. From him, you obtained an item called Super Divine Water, said to be highly poisonous, but surviving the draught unlocks one's potential. In the original novel, dozens of martial arts masters drank it, but only Wukong, through his incredible resilience, survived. (You obtained the special item: Super Divine Water.)

At least in terms of martial arts dedication, you're not as strong as Sun Wukong. You didn't dare drink this, while Sun Wukong drank it without hesitation. After excruciating pain, his strength instantly surpassed 30. It's simply outrageous. You darkly speculate that this stuff is lethal to Earthlings, and that Saiyans with better physiques can barely survive it, having gained a huge boost in strength due to their near-death experience.

[Also, it's worth mentioning that the level of the little book has been increasing with the continuous issuance of quests. According to it, it has now become the Book of Destiny, equivalent to the level of a divine artifact. (You have gained the expertise: "Book of Destiny") (Note: This upgrade will also affect the miracle item you own: "Leoncavallo's Opera in Four Acts")

After becoming the Book of Destiny, the Little Book's scope has expanded, and it can now spy on and change fate with greater ease. It can now detect most of your enemies, such as Piccolo, who is currently training in a forest in the western region of the Earth.

Here, you've also discovered a new way to use the Little Broken Book. This little book's drawing skills can help you remotely spy on your opponent's weaknesses. It's not very intuitive, but after trying it, you'll find it actually works.

For example, Piccolo's weakness is the human whistle, which is very irritating to Namekians, and makes them lose their strength after hearing it. Furthermore, his melee ability is very weak compared to his other abilities.

On July 759, 7, the 17rd Tenkaichi Martial Arts Tournament was held again. As the defending champion, you can skip the preliminaries and directly enter the quarterfinals.

[Before this, you've already triggered the quest to win the 23rd Martial Arts Tournament and defeat Piccolo. The reward for this quest is the final move in Li Chungang's sword technique series: Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate.]

[Only now do you realize: Perhaps the old man manipulated and tampered with this system in order to train you to become a sword god like him.]

[If nothing unexpected happens, after completing this mission, this will be the last time you draw your sword for several years. You will then enter a long period of scabbard cultivation.]

As in the original manga, Piccolo also participated in this martial arts tournament. Perhaps due to the butterfly effect, his abilities are slightly stronger than those recorded in his previous life, roughly equivalent to 30 Zhu. Still, his strength is limited, and he's not enough to pose a threat to you. Especially after you've mastered his weaknesses.

[Besides you, this time, the quarterfinals also featured a new player. After three years in the game and a year of real-world experience, these players' strength has significantly improved. The strongest are already 4-8 Zhu, and the strongest is equivalent to ten Zhu Baokun. One incredibly wealthy player even replaced Chi-Chi from the original manga and entered the quarterfinals. He will face Son Goku. The other matchups are you versus Yamcha, "the world's number one killer" Tao Pai Pai versus Tien Shinhan, and Piccolo versus Krillin.]

At this martial arts tournament, you appeared at the competition site in a dashing blue robe. Yamcha's strength was barely 6, completely out of step with the meta, even lagging behind some high-level players. He launched a six-hit combo of Wolf Fang Wind Fist at you right from the start, but it had no effect on you. Since we were all friends, you waited until the tenth move to draw your sword to save his face. Yamcha fell to the ground instantly, as if struck by an axe.

The next battle will be you versus Sun Wukong. At 18, he's grown into the adult form depicted in the comics. Also, due to the butterfly effect of your time travel, Sun Wukong's strength at this stage is far superior to his previous life.

[This battle lasted 18 minutes. Despite your precise control, you still managed to knock the opponent off the field by striking him in the chest with your wooden sword.]

The final battle unfolded between you and Piccolo. He had no secrets in front of you. You didn't even deliberately target him, simply seizing his few weaknesses and engaging him in close combat. In just ten minutes, you easily defeated him and won the championship of the 10rd Tenkaichi Budokai.

The rewards for this quest are "One Sword Opens the Heavens" and "God-level Basic Swordsmanship." The former is a transcendent swordsmanship that requires sheathing the sword and reaching the level of a transcendent swordsman to master. The latter will give you a lot of insights, so that same day you returned to the Pineapple Martial Arts Hall, sheathed the sword, and began your retreat.

[Back then, my grandfather spent six years in seclusion at this stage, not once striking a sword. Only then did he achieve the profound sword intent that could open the Heavenly Gate with a single sword strike. Are you also planning to follow his example and enter seclusion?]

[You have previously completed numerous side quests, earning numerous sword techniques from various schools and sects. Understanding one principle will lead to understanding a hundred. Now is the time to dissect and absorb all of these sword techniques, transforming them into your own sword path.]
