Alone and Infinite

The man wearing metal gauntlets nodded in satisfaction.

"Well done, Xiao Qi!"

Copper Bone chuckled:

"Hey—that kid is probably a lucky talent, thinking he can get into the competition through a bye. Let him fight Master Roshi directly."

"Boss, won't this make us enemies?" another female apostle asked timidly.

"You don't know anything. Making enemies? How can you survive in this hall without making enemies! The only real way is to strengthen yourself."

Copper Bone tilted his head and spat: "There are rewards for making it into the top eight of the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament. As long as you can manipulate the competition list and make the three members of the Turtle School fight each other in the upper half of the bracket."

At least we can get second place, and you all know the reward for second place!

That's 3 attribute points, 5 merit points, plus 5,000 points! I spent 2000 points to buy this intelligence, and another 1500 points to buy this one-time Viper virus.

I was originally planning to buy a selectable world item to make some money from Dragon Ball later.

Who knew—hehe, suddenly it went from Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress to Dragon Ball! This is my lucky break!! Even the heavens want me to rise to power!

The Hall of Fame is a life-or-death struggle, and resources are limited. Eliminating one opponent of the same level means one less competitor!

We're all about climbing over others to get ahead! You know that?

When you have the chance to kill your opponent, don't hesitate! Go all out!

"I know. I know."

Xiao Qi and the female apostle looked at each other and answered weakly.

Copper Bone frowned: "Your voice is so soft, have you not eaten? I can't hear you!"

"Got it!" *3

This time the sound was exceptionally loud. Copper Bone nodded in satisfaction, but felt that something seemed off.

He turned around stiffly and saw a figure standing not far away, staring at him thoughtfully.

When you have the chance to kill someone, don't hesitate.

His gaze gradually turned cold, which made Copper Bone feel an inexplicable pressure. He couldn't help but take a step back, and then suddenly remembered something.

A strange smile gradually appeared on his face. He reached out and put the laptop into his personal space.

"The Martial Arts Tournament is a completely no-martial-force zone. You can't use force, and you can't tamper with the Viper virus either."

I love watching other people's expressions when they fail.

"Swoosh!" A sharp sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

Three streaks of cold light seemed to flash across the air.

Copper Bones stood frozen in place, a sharp pain shooting through his chest.

In the gradually blurring vision, all that could be seen was Li Xia's retreating figure as he threw his gun away.

How dare he make a move in a no-arms zone?

[Warning! Apostle No. 27149, you killed Apostle No. 354654 and Apostle No. 2522123 at the Martial Arts Hall]

Your actions have violated the martial arts dojo's rule prohibiting martial arts outside of the ring!

The martial arts gym will punish you!

[Bulma, a character in the story, has deleted the recording!]

[Bulma, a character in the story, has forcibly stopped your punishment!]

[Apostle No. 27149, due to interference from the story character Bulma, your punishment for this kill will be changed to a fine of 1 million Jenny!]

[Apostle No. 27149, Bulma, a character from the storyline, has paid your fine!]

[Apostle No. 27149, you may participate normally!]

Tong Gu collapsed weakly to the ground; the injury from having his heart pierced was beyond the recovery capabilities of conventional medications.

But he still looked up, expectantly watching the martial arts tournament participants come out and punish that 'Xia'.

If I die, you won't get the reward!

My vision gradually darkened, and the man was already moving further and further away.

Why? Why wasn't there any punishment?

Copper Bones was coughing up blood when he suddenly heard Bulma's clear voice coming from the dojo's loudspeakers:

"Due to equipment damage at the martial arts hall, roll call will now be conducted manually!"

"Due to the absence of contestant number 1250 (Bronze Bone), contestant number 4396 (Master Roshi) has automatically advanced."

"Contestant number 6666 (Xia) has received a bye!"

"puff!"

Copper Bones' eyes widened in fury, then it breathed its last. Damn, a conspiracy!

You have killed Apostle No. 85365.

Li Xia paused for a moment, then continued walking forward without caring.

[Note: You have successfully entered the top 32. Please go to the martial arts hall to confirm as soon as possible.]

[Note: Due to the complete water supply facilities provided by Bulma, the Namu contestant has withdrawn from the competition!]

[Note: Due to Bulma's ruling that the "Trash King" contestant failed quarantine, the "Trash King" contestant has withdrawn from the competition.]

[Note: Lan Fang has withdrawn from the competition because Bulma hired him as her bodyguard]

[Notification: Executioner, you have successfully entered the finals of the World Martial Arts Tournament!]

[Hint: Executioner, please wait for the results of the first half of the bracket!]

Li Xia's eyes widened. Holy crap, Bulma is awesome!

Chapter 96 Remarks on the launch

It will be available for purchase at 12 noon tomorrow, and I have mixed feelings.

There are so many things I want to say, but I can't put them into words, so I'll just leave them at that.

Now that I've written this much, many authors have asked me why I'm not cutting it anymore, and readers have also asked me this question.

But I think that if you rush into writing, it will become a habit. If the beginning is bad, so be it. Just try to write well the rest.

Secondly, I apologize to the readers who have followed my work all this time.

So even though the first 100,000 words were completely ignored, I decided to persevere.

The authors who used to chat in the small group have all taken off. Some have over 10,000 first-time subscribers, some started with 5,000 or 6,000, and some were last year's top authors. It's impossible not to be envious.

But I'm really happy for them; finally, their work has been recognized.

Sometimes I think, maybe that's all I'm capable of. I can't write a good opening, I don't know the rhythm, and I don't even know what readers like to read.

The only commendable thing is that he had a good mindset and was able to persevere.

I don't like deleting posts or banning people. My previous book was criticized from the beginning. They didn't criticize the book, they just criticized me.

They hadn't even read the original novel or seen the movie; they were just imagining things based on their own conjectures.

Even so, after I finished writing it, I counted and found that I had only banned about ten people.

As longtime readers know, Li Pei is relatively rigorous in writing books. He tries his best to check as much as possible. Sometimes there will inevitably be omissions, but as long as readers point them out, he will correct them as soon as possible and admit the mistakes.

Therefore, this book was written very slowly, often requiring consulting and analyzing a large amount of original material.

For example, I have to translate and design the action sequences for the main characters' fight scenes, which is really tiring. It's much easier to write a normal story where everyone throws punches and kicks each other, competing to see who is taller, faster, and stronger.

This book has come this far thanks to the encouragement and support of its readers.

Here, I would like to sincerely thank all the readers who voted.

Thank you for your comments and votes.

As for the results, I don't have high hopes. I just hope that readers who are able will support me.

If it is put on the shelves

I can guarantee a minimum of 6,000 RMB per day, and try to reach 10,000 RMB per day.

Bonus chapter rules: 200 monthly votes for one chapter (2000 words), Alliance Master for three chapters, Silver level for ten chapters if possible (mainly because I didn't expect that a big shot would actually reach Silver level in the last book).

Thank you again to all the readers who have shown their support.

Wishing all subscribers and their families happiness, peace, and good health.

Hmm, and may your wealth increase by the meantime!

Thank you!

Chapter 97 Fierce Battle! Martial Arts Tournament!

But Li Xia soon realized that she had been too happy.

Because after taking only two steps, the notification for the Temple of Light popped up again:

The Budokan rejected Bulma's ranking; the Executioner's current stage: Top 8.

Reaching the quarterfinals is already pretty good. The main reason Bulma was in control was to avoid encountering Master Roshi before the quarterfinals.

Bulma's actions just now could be described as an unexpected surprise.

Before taking action, I thought that if no one witnessed it, there was a high chance of being exempt from punishment.

The three members of the Copper Bone Clan hid in this secluded corner, moving quickly, but they didn't expect there to be a hidden CCTV camera.

No matter how powerful Scott is, he cannot remotely delete CCTV footage.

Fortunately, Bulma stepped in! She not only deleted the video but also paid the fine for Lee Ha.

Could it be...? After thinking it over, Li Xia felt that Bulma was very likely to consider those three people as the main reason for her participation in the martial arts tournament.

In other words, criminals who disrupt space and time?

I originally thought that the rewards for killing the Apostle of the Void were the prizes, but now it seems that Bulma's full help might be the biggest hidden reward!

The audience inside the venue had no complaints about the change to human announcers.

They just wanted to see exciting, hard-hitting fights, but they were quite critical of the sudden series of withdrawals.

Fortunately, the matches in the upper bracket were still exciting, and the ordinary martial arts battles were exactly within the best range that the audience could enjoy.

They quickly became engrossed in the intense, bloody fight, and cheered for it.

Li Xia bypassed the crowd and went straight to the VIP viewing room on the second floor.

The spacious competition room contained only Bulma and another blonde beauty, who appeared to be Lanfang, Bulma's bodyguard.

Reaching the quarterfinals means their skill level is quite good among ordinary people.

"Xia, that was really close. We almost didn't make it in time."

Bulma glanced at Li Xia as he entered, then continued typing away at her computer.

With a look of confusion and excitement on his face, he said, "I've never seen a computer virus like this before. It's incredibly sophisticated, and its format is very different from ours."

It seemed to possess a real life, and was extremely cunning; I even had a hard time catching it.

I never imagined that technology on other planets had developed to this level.

Well, Bulma really did mistake those three for transdimensional criminals like the Apostles of Urobuchi.

Li Xia sat down and nodded: "Yes, alien technology."

From any perspective, the Viper virus is undoubtedly alien technology.

"I knew it," Bulma closed her laptop. Although she wanted to continue her research, there were more important things to do.
