Chapter 310: Returning to the Red Ribbon Army

On the Crane School training grounds, two figures darted back and forth, moving so fast that the naked eye could barely track them; the sound of *boom-boom-boom-boom* echoed through the air, and the hard bluestone floor was already covered in many cracks.

"Ugh!"

Accompanied by a cry of pain, the three-eyed Tien Shinhan flew backward and crashed to the ground; after a moment, he managed to crawl up, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth: "Damn it, you're so strong! How could you have mastered all the martial arts of the Crane School in such a short time?"

"It's quite simple. When it comes down to it, all martial arts are just the manipulation and mastery of one's own Qi. The stronger the Qi within the body, the easier it is to sense, and naturally, the faster it is to manipulate and master."

"The energy within my body far exceeds yours, so naturally, I can make rapid progress, advancing by leaps and bounds in my Crane School training."

Uchiha Feiyu stood with his arms crossed and spoke indifferently.

What he said was indeed a golden rule; for instance, among the aliens under Frieza, almost none had any martial arts cultivation, yet every one of them could fire energy blasts with ease, simply because the energy within their bodies was so strong that they didn't need much sensing to manipulate it.

However, Earthlings are not without their advantages. Because they start their training and cultivation from a state of very weak energy, sensing and manipulating it from the ground up, Earthlings' ability to control Qi is truly unique, and at the same level, their strength is definitely among the strongest.

Furthermore, they can use Qi to perform many feats that ordinary aliens cannot even imagine, such as controlling their displayed Power Level through Qi control, or analyzing an opponent's strength and sensing their location by sensing their Qi—these are things aliens simply cannot do.

Moreover, Earthlings only have poor initial capabilities; it does not mean their potential is low. Aside from the most top-tier races like Saiyans and Combat-type Namekians, ordinary aliens—even those from powerful races—are not necessarily superior to Earthlings in terms of potential.

Tien Shinhan is undoubtedly a standout among Earth's martial artists, possessing the bloodline of both Earthlings and the Three-Eyed Clan. While having a very good initial strength, he also inherited the essence of Earth's martial arts and various advantages.

And this guy is a total martial arts fanatic and a hard-training type. If Earth had never encountered a crisis, Tien Shinhan's future strength would definitely have been able to leave Yamcha and Krillin in the dust.

But the current Tien Shinhan is still in a green stage, and facing Uchiha Feiyu, who had suppressed his own Power Level to match him, he was still being beaten to a pulp.

If it were before learning the Crane School style, Uchiha Feiyu certainly couldn't have suppressed Tien Shinhan at the same level. But with the training inheritance of the Crane School, combined with the various cultivation experiences Uchiha Feiyu gained in the previous two worlds and the demonic techniques from the Book of Demonic Inheritance, Uchiha Feiyu had made rapid progress, surpassing his master in a very short time; his techniques for manipulating Qi even exceeded the Crane Hermit's imagination.

To put it bluntly, this was like a master re-cultivating after dispersing his power; even if the techniques practiced were different, certain underlying logic remained unchanged, and many techniques were universally applicable.

Originally, Uchiha Feiyu did not know which techniques could be used in this world and which were completely ineffective.

But with the training experience of the Crane School, it was equivalent to having a reference table, and Uchiha Feiyu's original accumulation could naturally be fully unleashed.

The change in technique was only a minor matter; the increase in cultivation speed was what made Uchiha Feiyu the happiest—now, Uchiha Feiyu's internal energy was estimated to be close to 200 in Power Level! Coupled with his powerful physique, Uchiha Feiyu's current Power Level was likely around 220–240.

This Power Level was already on par with King Piccolo, who had just escaped his seal in a weakened, aged state, and King Piccolo's power was enough to rule the entire Earth!

"Alright, I've gained quite a bit of growth from this week of training, but now that I've learned just about everything there is to learn from the Crane School, it's about time I left."

Uchiha Feiyu put on the clothes that were draped to the side and spoke indifferently to Tien Shinhan.

"What!? You're leaving?"

Tien Shinhan was slightly startled, a look of slight reluctance appearing on his face, even though Uchiha Feiyu had only trained with him for a week, and had subjected him to many brutal beatings during that week.

But with such a powerful opponent forcing him, Tien Shinhan's potential had been fully stimulated. In this week, it wasn't just Uchiha Feiyu who made rapid progress; Tien Shinhan himself had also greatly increased his strength, gaining at least 20 points in Power Level, bringing his total to nearly 100.

Tien Shinhan is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, at an age of rapid growth; with a Power Level already over 100, by the time the original plot begins, young Goku probably won't be his match at all.

Naturally, facing such a good opponent, even if his relationship with Uchiha Feiyu wasn't great, Tien Shinhan still felt a bit of reluctance.

"Of course, the world is very big... My current Power Level is nothing in the grand scheme of the world. If I don't train hard, I might just end up being someone who gets killed by anyone."

Uchiha Feiyu said with a smile. In the original Dragon Ball, the most frustrating death was probably the Crane Hermit's; he was just a guy killed offhand when Majin Buu destroyed all of humanity, and because he was a big villain, he wasn't even included when the Dragon Balls were used to revive everyone—the worst part was that none of the Dragon Ball protagonists even thought of this Crane Hermit at the time.

Rather than saying he was killed by a global energy-tracking blast from Majin Buu, it's more accurate to say he was completely forgotten by the author in the later stages; that is the fate of having a Power Level that can't keep up with the times.

"What kind of joke are you making? Although there might be some hidden experts in this world, those at my master's level are few and far between. A powerhouse like you, even if not the first in the world, should at least be in the top tier!"

Tien Shinhan widened his three eyes. I may like to bury myself in martial arts and not interact much with the outside world, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid!

With my level, I could sweep across a large area out there, yet you tell me someone could kill you offhand? Jokes have their limits, you know! "The world you're talking about and the one I'm talking about are not the same thing. The world you speak of is Earth, while the world I speak of is the universe!"

Uchiha Feiyu glanced at Tien Shinhan and said very calmly:

"You possess the bloodline of the Three-Eyed Alien, so you should know a lot about this. The vast, boundless universe is much larger than Earth, and the powerhouses within it are endless. My current strength doesn't even qualify me to step onto the grand stage of the universe, let alone you."

The universe... Hearing this word, a look of longing appeared on Tien Shinhan's face. As a Three-Eyed Alien, through family inheritance, he knew a little about the vastness of the universe, and he was vaguely aware that the powerhouses in the universe far exceeded those on Earth.

Although Three-Eyed Aliens are not as good as Saiyans or Namekians, their birth Power Level is clearly much stronger than that of Earthlings. When Tien Shinhan read through his family's inheritance, he had also heard that his ancestors in the universe once possessed power that could nearly destroy the heavens and the earth.

But even such powerful ancestors eventually met their end in the universe, leaving only himself as a mixed-blood descendant; from this, one can see how terrifying the universe is.

However, this did not discourage Tien Shinhan; instead, it filled him with fighting spirit:

"One day, I will also go to the universe! Fighting countless powerhouses in the universe must be the most wonderful thing!" The original Tien Shinhan was a martial arts fanatic, and since he was once a student of the Crane Hermit, his goal was to become the next generation's world's greatest assassin, so he certainly wasn't a good person; he was only reformed later by young Goku and Master Roshi.

But regardless of whether Tien Shinhan's current intentions are righteous or evil, one thing is certain: his sincere heart for the Dao of martial arts is absolutely unshakable.

It could even be said that among all the characters who appeared in Dragon Ball, Tien Shinhan is the one who trains the hardest, has the most self-disciplined character, and is the most devout to martial arts; in this regard, he even surpasses the later family-man Goku and Piccolo, who took over the position of God.

Uchiha Feiyu glanced at Tien Shinhan, his heart stirred slightly, and he had an immature idea, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

Red Ribbon Army Headquarters.

"I really can't believe there's something like this on Earth..."

Dr. Gero, the mastermind scientist of the Red Ribbon Army, looked at the dismantled small spaceship with an expression full of excitement:

"Aliens from the universe! Although I've heard some news about them before, this is the first time I've seen an alien spaceship!"

"Although this spaceship is a bit small, small has its advantages. The fact that something this small can perform space flight is truly astonishing technology."

Standing next to Dr. Gero with his arms crossed, Uchiha Feiyu didn't feel surprised. Although he had no scientific background, he knew how difficult it was to make a spaceship as small as a life pod and still maintain normal flight and various functions.

Of course, this was definitely not as difficult as Universal Capsules, Androids, and the Time Machine...

One can only say that the technology of the Dragon Ball World looks unremarkable, but in reality, it is incredibly advanced! It's just that because the effects are simple and crude, it makes people feel a bit numb.

"Alright, Dr. Gero, you should know that I didn't come to you just to watch you dismantle a spaceship."

Dr. Gero shrugged and took out a device that looked like a monocle from his pocket:

"This is the Energy Scouter you wanted. The eavesdropping system and positioning system inside have already been removed. I have to say, this is indeed a clever idea, being able to test the energy within another person's body..."

"According to my research on the Energy Scouter, the energy limit this device can test is around 10,000 points, but in reality, I think that as long as an individual has more than 200 points of energy, they could pretty much rule the world!"

"If the energy limit of aliens is 10,000 points, I'm afraid that individual power alone could cause major damage to the continental shelf and destroy all humans on the surface."

As he spoke, Dr. Gero put on the Energy Scouter and pressed a button while pointing it at Uchiha Feiyu; the resulting number of 203 made him fall silent immediately.

He had just said that a Power Level of 200 could conquer the Earth, and then he discovered that the person in front of him had a Power Level of 200...

Watching Dr. Gero's silent demeanor, a half-smile appeared on Uchiha Feiyu's face:

"Doctor! Can you tell me exactly what my Power Level is?"

Dr. Gero was silent for a moment, then spoke: "There might still be some issues with this Battle Power Tester; I think I should study it a bit more..."

"Is that so? Dr. Gero, have you ever considered that the problem isn't actually your Battle Power Tester, but my own Power Level?"

Uchiha Feiyu chuckled softly, extended a finger, and pointed it at the ceiling; a golden light instantly erupted from his fingertip!

The ceiling of the underground research base instantly turned to King, and the terrifying energy flew thousands of meters into the high sky before exploding instantly; however, the massive hot Wind still made Dr. Gero in the research base feel a wave of discomfort.

But he was no longer in the mood to care about this aftermath; the evil mad scientist simply raised his head, opened his mouth, and stared blankly at the sky.

After this energy explosion, the stars that could only appear at night were vaguely visible in the atmosphere; as a top-tier scientist, Dr. Gero knew very well that this was the result of the atmosphere being nearly punched through.

Dr. Gero only did a mental calculation of how much energy this required before he felt dizzy and his heart and gallbladder turned cold with fear.

"You... you... what exactly are you trying to do?"

Dr. Gero gritted his teeth and asked cautiously.

"Hehe, Dr. Gero, no need to be so worried; I'm not exactly a good person, and having such powerful strength, of course, I want to rule the world!"

"It just so happens that I have the strength, and the Red Ribbon Army has the subordinates; as long as I become the Marshal of the Red Ribbon Army, the world will easily be in the palm of my hand!"

Looking at Uchiha Feiyu's smiling expression, a fanatical smile also appeared on Dr. Gero's face! "Hahaha, hahaha! Ruling the world, that is truly a wonderful ideal!"

"Since that's the case, then I'll work with you!"

The worldview of the Dragon Ball World is actually very simple; most characters can be easily divided into two types: good people and bad people, and whether they are good or bad, they all love to flock together.
