Chapter 48

But exactly how formidable he is remains unclear.

After Jiang Hao said, "Come on."

Sun Sun Wukong moved instantly.

Accompanied by an unrestrained burst of Qi.

Sun Sun Wukong himself shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow, charging at Jiang Hao.

His speed was so great that ordinary eyes could not keep up.

"So fast," Krillin exclaimed.

Master Roshi said nothing, watching intently.

Boom!!!

In the next second, Jiang Hao and Sun Sun Wukong collided.

Though Sun Sun Wukong is small, his strength is far from negligible; with the boost of speed, his impact was no weaker than that of a heavy truck striking at two hundred kilometers per hour.

After the two collided, the ground shook violently.

And the spot where Jiang Hao had just stood was now shrouded in billowing dust.

Making it impossible to see the situation inside for a moment.

Moments later, the dust cleared.

There stood Sun Sun Wukong in a charging posture before Jiang Hao.

And Jiang Hao, at that moment, was gripping Sun Sun Wukong's hand with his right hand.

The ground beneath their feet had been completely turned into a shallow crater.

Cracks spiderwebbed outward.

Extending six or seven meters before stopping.

"This... how is this possible! That guy... actually blocked Sun Sun Wukong's charge with just one hand. I can't believe it."

"Truly two monsters."

Feeling the force of Sun Sun Wukong's charge, Jiang Hao's expression remained calm.

"Sun Sun Wukong, your speed is still not fast enough, and your strength is still lacking."

"Oh, is that so?" As soon as Jiang Hao finished speaking, he immediately felt a tremendous force coming from Sun Sun Wukong, as if Sun Sun Wukong intended to pull him, dragging him up from the ground.

Jiang Hao sensed Sun Sun Wukong's intent.

He smiled faintly.

In the next second, his feet, like ancient tree roots, drove straight into the earth.

Then he exerted a sudden burst of power.

Sun Sun Wukong had originally feigned weakness to lull Jiang Hao into thinking his strength had not increased, intending to unleash a sudden burst of power only after making contact with Jiang Hao.

But he never expected Jiang Hao to be prepared.

Moreover, Jiang Hao turned his own tactic against him.

The power Jiang Hao suddenly unleashed was even more terrifying, completely overwhelming Sun Sun Wukong.

Before Sun Sun Wukong could react, the world began to spin.

Then he felt his back strike something.

His internal energy surged violently.

His throat felt as though something was trying to rise and be vomited out.

Boom!!!

A deafening roar.

Sun Sun Wukong crashed directly into a massive boulder.

The boulder was shattered into pieces.

And Sun Sun Wukong did not stop there.

Instead, he continued to slide several meters, carving a small trench in the ground.

His clothes were torn to shreds before he finally stopped.

Jiang Hao did not rush to attack.

His contest with Sun Sun Wukong was a spar, not an attempt to kill him.

So, within certain limits, he would give Sun Sun Wukong a chance to catch his breath.

At present, the gap in strength between him and Sun Sun Wukong was still quite large.

Although Jiang Hao had no combat power detector, he could roughly tell that Sun Sun Wukong's current combat power was in the range of sixty to seventy.

Compared to him, the difference was over one hundred.

The gap was truly enormous.

If he were too serious, Sun Sun Wukong would have no chance to fight back before him.

Therefore, before Sun Sun Wukong could rise from the ground, Jiang Hao made no further move.

And Sun Sun Wukong quickly got up from the ground.

He was not the type to give up easily.

"Jiang Hao, I didn't expect that in just one month, your strength has become so much greater."

Jiang Hao smiled faintly.

"Let's continue."

"Good." Sun Sun Wukong nodded.

In the next second, he charged at Jiang Hao once more.

He knew his strength could not compare to Jiang Hao's.

Sun Sun Wukong had also learned to be smarter.

He began to use his own small size and agility to fight Jiang Hao.

The battle between the two grew increasingly fierce.

The sound of flesh meeting flesh and sonic booms from exploding air rang out from time to time.

The originally relatively flat ground became increasingly broken and ruined by their fight.

"Tr... truly, they are two monsters." Seeing this scene, Krillin's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Although Krillin had long known that Sun Sun Wukong was stronger than him, he never expected Sun Sun Wukong to be this powerful.

Their battle was so fast that his eyes could not even keep up.

If his enemies were Sun Sun Wukong and the others, he could be certain he would be instantly defeated.

"What's wrong, Krillin, feeling discouraged?" Master Roshi had noticed the change in Krillin's expression long ago and spoke up.

"Y-yes, Master Wu Tian, Sun Sun Wukong and the others are truly too powerful. C-can I really catch up to them?"

"Krillin, I never said you had to catch up to Sun Sun Wukong."

"Huh?" Krillin looked up at Master Roshi in confusion.

"Your goal has always been to surpass yourself, not to surpass anyone else."

"Krillin, did you practice martial arts just to surpass Sun Sun Wukong?"

"N-no, that's not it. I practice martial arts to protect myself and those I wish to protect."

"Then isn't that right?"

"Your goal was never to surpass Sun Sun Wukong, so what does it matter whether he is powerful or not?"

"What you must do is train hard. Who can say that the future you won't be able to catch up to Sun Sun Wukong?"

"In the past, I was the weakest among my fellow disciples, but now... haha."

"So, keep going. I have high hopes for your future."

Hearing Master Roshi's encouragement.

Krillin's face was filled with emotion.

"I... I understand, Master Wu Tian. From now on, I will definitely work hard."

Krillin said, his face flushed red.
