Chapter 03: Chapter 3

"Brother Zilong, you will stay in our house for a few more days, right?" After taking Zhou Zilong for a walk, Bulma held Zhou Zilong's hand, her clear eyes full of expectations.

Zhou Zilong smiled and looked at Bulma and replied, "It should be okay for me to stay for a few days, but will it bother you too much if it's too long?"

"No! No!" Bulma shook her head quickly: "Mom and Dad like to make friends, especially big brothers like you!"

"That's right, little brother Zilong, you stay for a few more days, it won't affect it." Bulma's father, Dr. Brief, walked in and said to Zhou Zilong with a smile, "And you saved Bulma today, I haven't repaid you well yet. If you don't mind, I would like to ask you to be Bulma's personal bodyguard for a while. Don't worry about the money. I will give you 100,000 dragon coins per hour."

Zhou Zilong was shocked by Dr. Brief's words. 100,000 dragon coins? Is money so easy to make in this world? He hesitated for a while, but still agreed. After all, he had nowhere to go now.

"Brother Zilong, this is your room." Bulma took Zhou Zilong to a spacious and bright room, which was equipped with various modern facilities, including a complete set of fitness equipment.

"Okay, thank you for your help," Zhou Zilong responded politely.

"It's not a bother. If you want, this room can be left to you forever," Bulma said playfully. Zhou Zilong felt a little flattered by Bulma's enthusiasm.

Zhou Zilong was moved after hearing this, but then shook his head and said, "How can I be embarrassed? By the way, Bulma, do you have any clothes to change? I forgot to bring clothes to change after I came out."

Bulma was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked curiously: "Brother Zilong, how come your clothes don't smell of sweat until now?"

Zhou Zilong scratched his head and said awkwardly: "I brought some money when I came out. I stayed in some places and washed and dried my clothes before changing into them."

Bulma nodded after hearing this and said, "Then you take a shower first. I'll ask Dad to take me to buy some clothes for you."

Zhou Zilong waved his hand and said, "How can I be embarrassed? Just find me a set of similar size. I can still wear this set after washing it."

Seeing this, Bulma no longer insisted. She took Zhou Zilong to the bathroom and prepared a set of clean pajamas for him. Zhou Zilong gratefully took the pajamas and walked into the bathroom.

After locking the bathroom door, Zhou Zilong sat in the bathtub. There were a few petals floating on the water, emitting a faint fragrance. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes gently, and said to the system Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, wash my marrow for me."

"Okay, the marrow washing is about to begin. Xiao Ling wishes you a great transformation in your first marrow washing." Xiao Ling's voice sounded in Zhou Zilong's mind, warm and firm.

As soon as the voice fell, a soft and dazzling light lit up from Zhou Zilong's chest and instantly injected into his body. Zhou Zilong felt a warm current flowing in his body, as if countless energy particles were shuttling through his blood vessels, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.

However, this warm current did not last too long. Soon, Zhou Zilong felt his body begin to heat up, as if burned by fire. He clenched his teeth and tried to endure the pain. Then, he found that black liquid began to ooze out of his fingertips. These liquids exuded an unpleasant stench, which made people shudder.

Zhou Zilong knew that this was a sign that the impurities in the body were being expelled by the marrow washing process. He took a deep breath and focused his attention on every part of his body, feeling the warm current constantly washing his body.

As time went on, Zhou Zilong's body began to undergo subtle changes. His skin became smoother and more delicate, and his muscle lines became more fluid and powerful. He felt that his strength was constantly growing, as if he had endless energy.

Just as Zhou Zilong was immersed in the changes brought about by the marrow washing, Xiao Ling's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "The marrow washing has been completed by 80%, and it is about to enter the critical stage. Please stay awake and don't let your guard down."

Zhou Zilong was startled and immediately concentrated his mind to prepare for the next challenge. He knew that the critical stage of the marrow washing was the most dangerous moment, and any carelessness might lead to failure.

As the marrow washing deepened, Zhou Zilong's body began to undergo more drastic changes. His skin began to glow with a faint golden luster, as if it was shrouded by a layer of mysterious power, and his eyes became bright and energetic, as if he could see through all the falsehoods.

Just when Zhou Zilong was about to give up, he suddenly felt a powerful force burst out from his body., this force was like a flood and a beast, instantly breaking through his physical limits, making him feel an unprecedented sense of relief and ease.

"Marrow washing is successful! Congratulations on unlocking special abilities: super god-level super brain power, steel body, elementary time control, super transformation technique" Xiao Ling's voice sounded in Zhou Zilong's mind, with a hint of joy and pride.

Zhou Zilong immediately checked his information:

Zhou Zilong:

[Race] Pure Earthling

[Vitality value] 507

[Potential value] 10 trillion

[Potential development progress] 1%

[Combat power] 10

[Potential level] Epic potential

[Mastered moves] High-level Sanda skills

[Own abilities] Super god-level super brain power, steel body, elementary time control, god-level transformation technique

Looking at this information, Zhou Zilong was filled with excitement and excitement. He knew that he was no longer an ordinary earthling, and he had extraordinary power and potential.

"Xiao Ling, I roughly know what the other three abilities mean. What is the use of this God-level Transformation Technique?" Zhou Zilong asked impatiently.

"The God-level Transformation Technique is a powerful transformation ability. You can completely transform into someone else's appearance and imitate someone else's aura. This can not only be used to hide your identity, but also to shock or confuse the enemy," Xiao Ling explained.

Zhou Zilong nodded, full of expectations for the adventure that will unfold in the future. He knew that his fate would change dramatically because of this marrow washing.

"Okay, I know, thank you Xiao Ling for being so thoughtful," Zhou Zilong said gratefully.

"It's okay. Since Xiao Ling chose you, I will definitely help you with all my strength. But Zilong, before you have full strength, you must be cautious in using the time control skill, do you know? Because some people in the Dragon Ball world are very taboo about this ability," Xiao Ling reminded again.

"Okay, I know, I will pay attention," Zhou Zilong replied solemnly.

"By the way, Xiao Ling, don't I have two more chances to cleanse my marrow? When will this be?" Zhou Zilong asked curiously.

"The timing of these two marrow cleansings is not decided by Xiao Ling. It will only be triggered after you, Zilong, have promoted the development of the Dragon Ball plot." Xiao Ling's voice was calm and firm.

Zhou Zilong nodded, knowing the responsibility he had to shoulder. He must adapt to his own strength as soon as possible, and at the same time promote the development of the Dragon Ball plot in order to obtain more opportunities for marrow cleansing.
