Chapter 05: Chapter 5

On January 5, 745 A.E., the sun shines through the window of Bulma's house into the spacious living room. A figure is sitting cross-legged on the floor, eyes closed, breath steady and deep. This is Zhou Zilong who has traveled through time. He has lived in this world for a year.

However, today's practice made him feel an unprecedented bottleneck. He clearly felt that his strength had reached a critical point. No matter how hard he tried, his strength would be difficult to improve.

"Huh~~! It's not easy. It's been a year since I came to this world. My combat power has broken through from the original 10 to 50,000, but it seems that I have encountered a bottleneck. Recently, my practice seems to be unable to improve." Zhou Zilong opened his eyes, sighed softly, and his eyes revealed a bit of confusion.

At this moment, Xiao Ling's voice rang in his mind: "Zilong, you can go to the turtle master to promote the development of the plot, learn some of the turtle master's martial arts experience, and explore your own martial arts. You are still in the stage of blind exploration this year. It is good to be able to increase your combat power to 50,000."

Zhou Zilong was stunned, and then nodded. He understood that Xiao Ling's suggestion was reasonable. Since crossing into this world, he has been practicing with his own efforts and memories of the original work. Although he has made rapid progress, he lacks systematic guidance after all.

"You are right, Xiao Ling. I should seek higher-level guidance." Zhou Zilong made up his mind and turned to the bathroom to take a shower. However, just as he was about to step into the bathroom, Xiao Ling's voice rang again: "Zilong, I have a very bad news for you. After my observation during this period of time, I have detected that there is more than one person who has crossed into this world."

Zhou Zilong paused, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that there were other crossers in this world. "Xiao Ling, you mean...?"

"Yes, this traverser also has a system like you, but the other party is bound to a villain's system, so you may encounter many different situations in the Dragon Ball world in the future." Xiao Ling's voice was a little worried.

Zhou Zilong's heart tightened. He knew what this meant. A traverser with a villain system is likely to set off a greater butterfly effect on the world, and he must be prepared to deal with this unknown challenge.

"But there is also good news for you," Xiao Ling changed the subject, "that is, this traverser is also very weak at present, and he is not on Earth at present, but on another planet, and his system has not yet awakened, but in order to deal with the other party's system, I need to perform a sleep dormancy update. I hope that when Xiao Ling wakes up next time, Zilong's strength will be much improved."

Zhou Zilong was relieved when he heard this. Although there is a potential threat, at least there is no need to worry too much for now, and he also understands that Xiao Ling's sleep dormancy update is to better cope with future challenges.

"Okay, Xiao Ling, go ahead, I will continue to work hard to practice and improve my strength," Zhou Zilong said with a smile.

At this time, in Bulma's laboratory, the lights were bright, and various instruments were flashing with the light of technology. After taking a shower, Zhou Zilong stood by the window, looking at the starry sky, his heart full of determination. He turned around and said to Bulma who was busy: "Bulma, I may have to leave for a while."

Bulma stopped the work in her hands and looked up at Zhou Zilong. Her eyes, which were usually full of curiosity and vitality, were now full of doubts and reluctance. She walked to Zhou Zilong and asked softly: "Ah? Zilong, where are you going?"

In this year, Zhou Zilong and Bulma's relationship has become closer. The two not only support each other in scientific research, but also care about each other in life. The relationship between the two has surpassed ordinary friends. There is an inexplicable feeling between the two that is quietly growing.

Moreover, Bulma's father, Dr. Brief, also greatly appreciated Zhou Zilong, who is both civil and military. Not only did he give Zhou Zilong 5% of the shares of the capsule company, but he also made him a technical consultant for the capsule company. If Bulma had not reached the age, Brief might have urged the two to date quickly.

Zhou Zilong took a deep breath and told Bulma half-lying, "I need to find a master to learn new martial arts. Yesterday I dreamed that the earth was invaded by evil forces. I wanted to stop it but I couldn't do anything. That feeling of powerlessness made me very frustrated. I hope to better protect you in the future, and some people I want to protect." His words were full of determination. Bulma's eyes flashed with surprise, but it was soon replaced by understanding and support. "Zilong, I believe you can do it," she said, her voice full of trust andEncouragement.

In the next few days, Zhou Zilong and Bulma prepared the items needed for the journey. Bulma used her intelligence to make some practical props for Zhou Zilong, such as energy detectors and portable communicators, while Zhou Zilong used his scientific and technological knowledge to make 30 robot bodyguards with a combat power of 30,000 for Bulma and Dr. Brief to deal with possible dangers.

On January 10, 745 A.E., the sun shone through the clouds on the land of Xidu, covering this prosperous city with a golden coat. Zhou Zilong stood at the door of the Capsule Company, took a deep breath of fresh air, and his heart was full of expectations for the future. He was about to leave this familiar city and go to a distant island to find the legendary martial arts master, Turtle Hermit, hoping to worship him as a teacher and make further progress in strength.

After leaving the Capsule Company, Zhou Zilong was not in a hurry to go to the Turtle House. He knew that if he wanted to be accepted as a disciple by the Turtle Master, it was far from enough to just be passionate. So he decided to prepare some gifts first to increase the possibility of his success.

Zhou Zilong came to a bookstore and carefully selected several books suitable for the Turtle Master to read. He knew that although the Turtle Master was old, his desire for knowledge had never diminished. These books could not only enrich the spiritual world of the Turtle Master, but also make him feel Zhou Zilong's sincerity and respect.

In addition to books, Zhou Zilong also bought some practical items, such as tea sets, tea leaves, and some prepared delicacies.

After preparing the gifts, Zhou Zilong came to a more remote place. He took out a capsule and pressed it lightly. A modified jet plane instantly appeared on the ground. This plane was modified by Zhou Zilong using capsule technology and combining his own mechanical design knowledge. It has a longer endurance, enough to support him to go to the Turtle House on the island.

Zhou Zilong was flying a jet plane over the sea. The sea breeze blew on his cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness. He was admiring the beautiful sea view while thinking about how to express his sincerity to the turtle master.

Ten hours later, Zhou Zilong still hadn't found the trace of the turtle house. He began to get anxious, worried that he had lost his way.

"I haven't seen a plane fly over for a long time. Could it be coming to find me?" At this time, an old man riding a turtle, wearing a pair of sunglasses, wearing an orange casual shirt, holding a cloud-shaped crutch, and carrying a large turtle shell on his back, muttered after seeing Zhou Zilong's plane fly over.
