Chapter 65

So his daily food intake is also larger than that of an ordinary person.

If they don't book the whole place, the hot pot restaurant's food might not be enough for them.

After eating, Jiang Hao and Bulma also checked into the same inn where Sun Wukong and the others were staying.

The next day, Jiang Hao and the others went to the Wudao Society's venue and were notified that a total of one hundred thirty-eight people had registered to compete.

With so many participants, not all could be allowed to compete in the official matches.

So there would be a preliminary round.

The organizers prepared a total of sixteen fighting platforms.

Then, one contestant would be selected from each platform to become its platform master.

The remaining registered contestants could each choose which platform to challenge.

Each contestant could challenge each platform only once; if they lost, they could not challenge that same platform again and had to choose another.

The sixteen contestants still standing on the platforms at the end would advance to the official matches.

In the official matches, opponents would be determined by lottery, with eight matches total to decide the top eight.

From the top eight, then the top four, and finally the championship match would determine the champion of this tournament.

This was the Wudao Society's competition mechanism.

It could be said that the preliminary round would filter out contestants with insufficient strength—those lacking power wouldn't even qualify for the official matches.

Jiang Hao, Wukong, and Krillin naturally each secured one platform and entered the top sixteen.

More than three months had passed, and Jiang Hao's fighting power had already reached a terrifying four thousand five.

Due to the Super Holy Water's development of his potential, Jiang Hao's Saiyan bloodline and first-generation super gene had been optimized.

This enhanced his innate potential.

Combined with his gravity wristband, gravity chamber, and Senzu Beans for training.

He could increase his fighting power by over thirty points in a single day.

His efficiency was four to five times higher than before.

After several months, his fighting power had reached the terrifying level of four thousand five.

For Earth at this time, Jiang Hao's fighting power of four thousand five made him an invincible force.

Whether it was Piccolo Niu Mo Wang or the God of Earth, appearing before Jiang Hao meant instant defeat.

Keep in mind that even Vegeta and Raditz, who arrived on Earth over a decade later,

Raditz's fighting power was only one thousand five, while Vegeta reached eighteen thousand.

But that was still only four times Jiang Hao's current fighting power.

And that was over a decade later.

This shows just how extraordinary Jiang Hao's improvement was in less than half a year.

Even among the Saiyans, such an increase would be terrifying.

Of course, while Jiang Hao's improvement was great, so too was Sun Wukong's, who had also drunk the Super Holy Water.

From Wukong's aura, Jiang Hao could roughly estimate Wukong's fighting power to be around three thousand two.

It was over a thousand less than his own.

But it was still terrifying.

In the original story, Wukong's fighting power at this time was only around one hundred.

Compared to his original self, Wukong had become far stronger due to Jiang Hao's influence.

Even Krillin, because of Jiang Hao, now had a fighting power of over three hundred.

Although he was nowhere near Jiang Hao or Wukong.

But compared to the other contestants in this Wudao Society, Krillin was already a force of overwhelming superiority.

Unless he faced Jiang Hao or Wukong early, third place in this Wudao Society was guaranteed.

With their fighting power vastly surpassing everyone else's, securing their platforms and advancing to the top sixteen was effortless.

Soon, the sixteen official competitors emerged.

Among them were many familiar faces to Jiang Hao.

For example, Crane Hermit, the younger brother of Guixianren Sect's master.

Besides him, his two disciples, Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu, also passed the preliminaries; from their auras, Jiang Hao judged Tien Shinhan's fighting power to be around sixty-something.

It couldn't match Jiang Hao's group, but it was already strong compared to other contestants.

Chiaotzu's was around fifty-something.

Besides these three, the original story's top eight competitors—Nam, Lan Fang, Dragon Man Giran, and Bacterian—all successfully advanced to the top sixteen.

The rest were minor characters Jiang Hao didn't know.

As for Yamcha, who competed in the original story,

Jiang Hao's presence had altered too many plot points.

Yamcha had not, as in the original, become a disciple of Guixianren Sect to train.

Naturally, he did not enter this Wudao Society.

After passing the preliminaries, Jiang Hao and the others did not go out to celebrate.

The opponents for the top sixteen matches the next day would be determined by lottery.

So no one knew whether they would face each other the next day.

That night, Jiang Hao summoned Krillin and Sun Wukong.

Over these months, he had developed several new techniques.

Among them, the Crane Hermit's Flying Technique, Jiang Hao had also developed on his own.

And Jiang Hao intended to teach all these techniques to Sun Wukong and Krillin.

Practical skills like the Flying Technique, high-speed flight, Instant Transmission, and Ki sensing—Jiang Hao planned to teach them all to Wukong and Krillin.

Because if Sun Wukong did not know these techniques of his, then even if they met later, the battle would become very dull.

Because the gap was too large.

A power level difference of over a thousand was enough for Jiang Hao to defeat Sun Wukong with great ease.

After all, this was not a difference of a few or dozens of power levels, but a difference of over a thousand.

Truly speaking, the gap was already very large.

During the Namek Saga, the official data given for Sun Wukong when he transformed into a Super Saiyan was a power level of 150 million.

At that time, Frieza's Full Power Fourth Form, which he fought against, was 120 million power levels.

Compared to each other, the difference was 30 million, a gap of twenty percent.

And the current Jiang Hao was at 4,500 power levels.

Sun Wukong was at 3,200, a difference of thirty percent.

During the Namek Saga, the power difference between Sun Wukong and Frieza was two times; Sun Wukong crushed Frieza. Although there was a bonus from anger, Frieza was almost entirely suppressed by Sun Wukong and was eventually killed by him.

From then on, Sun Wukong became Frieza's lifelong nightmare.

Now, the power difference between Jiang Hao and Sun Wukong is thirty percent, which is greater than twenty percent. If they truly fought, Jiang Hao would completely crush Sun Wukong.

And such a match offered no improvement for Jiang Hao.

He now possessed the Saiyan physique; as long as he recovered from injury, his power level could achieve a massive increase.

Therefore, making Sun Wukong possess the strength to fight him was definitely necessary.

And the Flying Technique, high-speed flight, Ki sensing, and Instant Transmission were all very practical techniques.

If Sun Wukong learned them, it would absolutely allow his power level to gain some increase and also better unleash his own 3,200 power levels.

As for whether Sun Wukong could learn them?

Jiang Hao was not worried at all.

Wukong's aptitude needed no questioning.

Kaio-ken, the Spirit Bomb, the Dragon Fist, and Ultra Instinct—none of these were simple.

But Wukong had learned them all.

Others might be unable to learn these techniques and use them within a single day.

But Sun Wukong could.

Facts proved that Sun Wukong indeed could.

As for Krillin, he was a bit lacking.

Except for learning the Flying Technique, he failed to get a foothold in high-speed flight, Ki sensing, and Instant Transmission.
