Marvel Saiyans - Chapter 68
The Nuwa Star Ferry flew at an incredible speed, quickly reaching its destination: a dry river valley outside the city of Kabul. A SHIELD SUV was parked in the dried-up riverbed.
“I’ll go ahead, Zhuo,” said Xu Que, raising his hand and stepping off the deck. Gliding gracefully to the ground with his lightness skill, he looked odd due to his bald, middle-aged appearance.
“Try to retrieve Crocodile Tyrant’s body, or at least part of it,” Zhuo Bufan called out, leaning against the deck railing. Using his Qimen Dunjia techniques, he could trace the body’s movements to infer the Fire Cloud Evil God’s location.
Unfortunately, Crocodile Tyrant’s body was tightly guarded by the U.S. military, making it difficult even for SHIELD to intervene.
“Until Xu Que finds something, we’ll stay on the Nuwa Star Ferry and wait,” Zhuo Bufan said helplessly.
They were understaffed. If he had 108 people, he could set up a grand formation to reveal Fire Cloud Evil God’s location, no matter where he hid.
“I’m going to train. Don’t disturb me unless necessary,” Bu Qingyun said, heading into the ship’s interior. The Star Ferry could convert gravitational, magnetic, and light energy into propulsion and provide energy for martial artists inside, like having a top master assisting in their training. A day of practice on the ship equaled five days of regular training.
Nie Zheng gave Zhuo Bufan an apologetic bow and followed his senior sister.
Zhuo Bufan glanced at the still-sleeping Zhang Ye, made a quick calculation with his fingers, adjusted the ship’s course, and leisurely entered the cabin.
The Star Ferry swayed as it flew southwest. Within a hundred kilometers, dense clouds formed overhead, bringing thunder, lightning, and heavy rain that pelted the deck.
The cold rain woke Zhang Ye with a shiver.
“Where is everyone? Is the meeting over?”
Seeing no one on deck, he used his qi to repel the rain within three feet and, puzzled, scratched his head and ambled towards the cabin.
“Who first awakens from a great dream? Only I know of my true self. In the grass hall, spring sleeps soundly, while outside, the day lingers. Better go back to the cabin for another nap.”

In just ten days, Broly had advanced Crane School techniques to level 15 and Turtle School techniques to level 17.
[Turtle School Techniques lv13: Explosive Ki Blast, release ki waves from both hands that collide mid-air, splitting to attack multiple targets.]
[Turtle School Techniques lv17: Evil Containment Wave, use ki to seal an enemy in a container. The user’s ki consumption varies with the enemy’s power. If the enemy’s power greatly exceeds the user’s, it could drain the user’s ki, causing death.]
[Crane School Techniques lv4: Telepathy, communicate mentally with others.]
[Crane School Techniques lv7: Solar Flare, use ki to release a blinding flash, temporarily blinding enemies.]
[Crane School Techniques lv10: Dodon Ray, concentrate ki at the fingertips and release it.]
[Crane School Techniques lv13: Four Witches Technique, create up to three clones, each with a quarter of the original power. Clones can fight and won’t disappear if hit unless the user reabsorbs them.]
Unfortunately, the system didn’t seem to track techniques outside the Dragon Ball universe, so the Nine-Turn True Martial Art wasn’t listed.
During his Crane School training, the gang qi from the Nine-Turn True Martial Art had finally purified his body of impurities.
Typically, this level took at least three months to fully cleanse, but Broly’s rage form accelerated the process significantly. His internal energy now subtly nourished his organs, initiating the generation of the five vital energies. At this stage, the Nine-Turn True Martial Art revealed its voracious nature.
After assuming the stance from the Nine-Turn True Martial Art, Broly reversed the flow of his qi, channeling internal energy into his organs. His organs absorbed the energy like black holes, regardless of the amount supplied.
This level required the practitioner to see their organs emitting five colors of smoke—blue, red, white, black, and yellow—to be considered mastered.
Even Fire Cloud Evil God admired this stage. Few techniques could strengthen the organs, and mastering this stage would greatly enhance one’s martial prowess, providing a solid foundation for subsequent stages.
However, even a genius would need six to seven years to see the five-color smoke, making it impractical to spend decades refining this level to enhance aptitude.
Satisfied with his progress, Broly donned his bat armor and set off for Afghanistan on the Nimbus. This time, he added a large bat symbol on his chest to avoid being mistaken for Catman again.
“Broly!”
Kakarot cried like a kitten.
“Train diligently with the techniques I taught you. Once you pass my test, we can act together.”
Broly confirmed that the Nine-Turn True Martial Art was flawless and had taught it to Kakarot. Despite Fire Cloud Evil God’s efforts to conceal his malice, Broly’s heightened perception sensed his ill intent.
This puzzled Broly—why would Fire Cloud Evil God exchange such a powerful technique if he harbored ill will?
Unfortunately, Kakarot’s ki was much weaker. She had only opened five meridians, with seven more to go.
Patting Kakarot’s spiky head, Broly controlled the Nimbus and flew to Afghanistan, practicing the Nine-Turn True Martial Art on the way, constantly channeling ki into his organs.
At this stage, practitioners could also absorb cosmic energy through acupoints. However, compared to the abundant ki from his body, the converted internal energy was negligible. After a brief attempt, Broly gave up on it.
Upon reaching his destination, Broly opened his eyes and stopped training.
The ground below was in ruins. The Ten Rings’ base was abandoned, with the Pashtuns having relocated everything.
Broly pulled out the map Winston had given him and checked all the Ten Rings’ bases, finding that all the Pashtuns had moved.
Fire Cloud Evil God must have realized the bases were compromised and ordered the Ten Rings tribes to relocate.
“Such a large-scale move couldn’t have left no traces.”
Broly leaped off the Nimbus, carefully inspecting the nearly destroyed base.
