Chapter 44: The Power of a Punch
The information about the fortune-telling grandmother is not mysterious. This super-powered grandmother with special abilities can be called a living fossil in the entire Dragon Ball series. Her life span is said to be over 500 years old. Regardless of whether this is true or not, the fortune-telling grandmother and Mr. Satan are the only people on earth who have not died until the finale.
From the perspective of Ye Xun, who likes to read online novels, the fortune-telling grandmother has a very powerful power. First of all, she can accurately predict (not a charlatan liar), which is a kind of ability to comprehend the cause and effect of time and to spy on the secrets of heaven.
Secondly, she has a certain ability to predict, which can also be understood as her ability to predict. Many people who are familiar with the settings of online novels know that the ultimate of prediction is the great prediction, that is, "words come out and the law follows", what you say is what it is, not because of what will happen in the future, but what is predicted will happen in the future. Of course, this ability to modify or even determine the rules of cause and effect has naturally never appeared in Dragon Ball, otherwise it would be too against the sky.
Finally, the position of the fortune-telling grandmother in the Dragon Ball world seems to be very special. Although she is not in the organization of the gods, she can freely go back and forth between the Yin and Yang worlds and bring the dead from the underworld back to the world of the living for 24 hours. Even the gods and the kings of the world do not seem to have this ability or authority. Although this is not mentioned in "Dragon Ball", neither the gods nor the kings of the world have done this in the comics and animations, but as the highest-level god in the universe, the King of the Worlds should have this ability. As for the King of All, it is not within the scope of discussion. To some extent, he is a creator-level figure, and it is redundant to talk about anything.
The gods on earth are respectful to the King of Hell and the kings of the world, but the fortune-telling grandmother can be very casual in their tone and form in front of them. And in Ye Xun's memory, the great king of the world in the animation seems to be afraid of her.
The two abilities of peeping into cause and effect and going back and forth between Yin and Yang make the fortune-telling grandmother unique in the entire Dragon Ball. Don't underestimate this old woman. There is a vague feeling of jumping out of the three realms and not in the five elements.
Of course, the fortune-teller is also a well-known figure in this world. In Ye Xun's memory, the fortune-teller has appeared on TV programs. After all, she likes to make money. Only when the advertisement is put out will customers come to her.
"If I remember correctly, it should be the palace on the desert oasis, a very conspicuous place, and the palace is built on the water."
Ye Xun looked for it in the direction recorded in the magazine. Sure enough, he saw a very large water palace in the desert, and there were some people outside the palace. They should all come to ask the fortune-teller for divination.
In order not to cause a sensation, Ye Xun landed at a distance and then ran quickly to the palace. Almost no one noticed that Ye Xun was coming. They all had their own thoughts. Those who had no money were preparing for the next battle, and those who had money were anxious about whether the things they asked were in line with their expectations. Ye Xun had no choice but to wait outside, while also observing the people coming out.
Some of the people who paid for divination were smiling, and some were extremely disappointed, but they held a glimmer of luck.
As for the poor people, they almost all came out with bandages and bruises on their faces, which was normal. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to beat those monster players inside.
At this moment, a ghost-like thing wearing a bamboo hat said to Ye Xun behind him: "Young man, it's your turn."
After Ye Xun followed the staff member in, he passed through two houses and then reached the main hall. Then Ye Xun saw a very familiar figure. It was a short old lady sitting cross-legged on a floating crystal ball. She was also looking at Ye Xun.
"Fortune-telling grandmother, nice to meet you."
The fortune-telling grandmother replied happily: "Young man, welcome to fortune-telling. You have two choices. Spend 10 million yuan to let me tell your fortune, or defeat my five warriors and I will tell your fortune for you."
Ye Xun touched his chin, his eyes full of thoughts, and then replied: "I don't have 10 million yuan, but I am also a martial artist, so I choose to fight."
The fortune-telling grandmother laughed, looking very strange and creepy. Her two favorite things are "money" and "competition". No matter which one the person chooses, she will be very happy.
"The little boy is so handsome, I didn't expect he is also a martial artist. Okay, okay, come with me, but are you sure you don't want to ask for help? You know, you must defeat five of us to win."
"No problem, I am confident, as long as your martial arts master is not an alien."
"Hmm?"
The fortune-teller looked at Ye Xun thoughtfully. She didn't know whether Ye Xun's words were intentional or unintentional. Because she traveled between the Yin and Yang worlds, the masters of the underworld she knew were from various planets, so the fortune-teller was well-informed. She knew very well how strong the martial arts masters of alien civilizations were. This was also the reason why she was always rude to her brother. What martial arts god is just entertaining himself on Earth.
"Come with me, little boy."
Ye Xun stood on a circular arena surrounded by water, waiting for the masters sent by the fortune-teller.
Divination shouted to the door over there: "Come out, vampire."
A man with the image of a classic European vampire walked in from the door. This man had a pale face and cold features, like a carved statue, but the aura on his body was too cold, which made people shudder.
The vampire looked at Ye Xun with a hideous smile, his fangs reflecting the sunlight. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been scared to death. Sure enough, the image seen in the three-dimensional world is quite different from the image seen in the two-dimensional world.
Ye Xun sensed it slightly, and the aura of this vampire was really not weak. It was predicted that his combat power was about 80. No wonder Krillin, who had experienced the world's first martial arts competition, could not beat him. At that time, Krillin's combat power was only about 60.
"Hehe, the boy's blood must be extremely delicious." The vampire said grimly.
Ye Xun yawned, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."
The fortune-teller was stunned, thinking that this little boy really didn't know anything, and he would definitely be taught a lesson in a while.
"Then, let the game begin."
Sure enough, the fortune-teller gave an order, and the vampire suddenly left the ground on his toes, almost drifting towards Ye Xun in a straight line close to the ground, at an extremely fast speed. He opened his bloody mouth, and the luxurious European aristocratic look just now was gone. Ye Xun was disgusted by this scene. At the moment when he was about to be caught, he took a step forward and punched the vampire in the lower abdomen without any hesitation.
The picture was still, the vampire's eyes were wide open, his face was distorted, saliva flowed out of his mouth, and his throat made a sound like a fly and mosquito, as if he was moaning, but it was the kind of extreme pain.
The fortune-telling mother-in-law looked at the two people with a surprised expression. She didn't know what happened. In fact, Ye Xun's punch was nothing great. It was just that the timing was good. He grabbed the golden distance point where the vampire caught Ye Xun and took the lead to "attack".
Ye Xun looked at the vampire's distorted and hideous expression, and couldn't help but feel disgusted. After retracting his fist, he took a few steps back, but the vampire still maintained the posture of being hit, and his body began to tremble wildly.
"Hey, vampire, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that the vampire didn't respond, Ye Xun turned his head and looked at the fortune-teller, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, grandma, I was frightened by the ghost appearance of this gentleman just now, so I hit him a little too hard. His body automatically made him fall into a coma and lose consciousness in order to protect him, but his body has not yet caught up with the reaction of pain, so he became like this. You should take him to get treatment."
Today's first update, I will gradually explore some of my own conspiracy theories about the Dragon Ball world. If it doesn't suit your taste, please forgive me. After all, when writing a novel, you always have to add some personal characteristics. Finally, please vote for recommendation and give me some motivation.
