Sora flew in the clouds, and while looking down below he saw the seemly endless sea. after some time he saw a small island in the middle of nowhere. Sora went don't to land softly before the small house on the island, where he went on to knock on the door. He stretched his head slightly as he thought of how he was going to get master Roshi to teach him martial arts.
after some time with no one opening the door, Sora went on to look at the mirror and saw a balled old man looking at a group of females working out on his tv. Master Roshi was a huge pervert, he was not forced on the workout but more of the moment the females were doing.
"I see why you never got married," Sora said softly, master Roshi instantly jumped and was shocked to see someone at his window without a shirt. he was instantly stunned at the handsome young man, who looked as if he walked out of a painting of an immortal, Sora looks were Unparalleled even an old pervert like him had to remind himself he was into boys... no, I mean female, not guys.
"I was looking for a teacher, so old man. wanna be my teacher and teach me marital art?" Sora asked with a smile,
Master Roshi is one of the strongest humans in history and the strongest fighter of his generation. Despite his advanced age reducing his natural stamina and endurance while also reducing his peak performance, he makes up for it with super efficiency both physically and mentally, able to easily read his opponent's movements and battle tactics, allowing him to move with minimal needed effort.
His experience and intuition have honed his natural instincts to become fully aware of his surroundings to the point of practically being able to move against threats automatically. A grandmaster of all martial arts and hand-to-hand combat styles, along with their respective techniques and skills, Roshi is an outstandingly versatile fighter and tactician, able to quickly see through an opponent's skills and effortlessly change his own methods to best suit the situation.
"... you want me to be your teacher? are you sure about this? marital arts are not something one can so easily force on." He asked with a slight frown, he was not taking in students after all so he was not sure if he wanted to take in Sora, but then again the world spoiled those with good looks, so he was having second thoughts.
"of course, I know that. people usually see the success of others and ignore the time and hard work they might have put into it. I'm willing to put in the work and time, I don't really have a life anyways." Sora said with a smile,
'thats hard to believe.' He thought as he gave Sora an up and down, before realizing Sora might be naked, of course, Sora was naked where would he find clothing. he had no money to buy clothing, so he was here butt naked. he of course had high resistance to heat and cold, so he got used to this over time.
"y-you not naked are you?" Master Roshi asked as he stood a step backward, Sora looked at himself for some time before nodding slightly.
"sadly I don't, I don't have money for clothing of my own you see. but it's not like there are any females here, so I don't mind." Sora said calmly, master Roshi said with a twitch of his eye, master Roshi quickly picked some clothing and gave it to Sora who went on to wear them.
"do you have anywhere else to go, family or something?" Master Roshi asked with a slight frown, but Sora shook his head. master roshi thought for something before sighing and agreeing to take Sora in if he showed some requirement, to which Sora agreed.
the first test of Sora's physique. yet to his shook, Sora was so fast he could around his whole island, in less than 6 seconds. this was of course a shocking level of speed, although Master Roshi could easily do better, master roshi showed off and he did it in 3 seconds. this was around the island, so it was not a simple straight line,
the next test was strength, Sora showed off his physique strength as he picked up the 100 pounds Turtle Shell, of course, he had no trouble. Master Roshi was of course shocked by his strength and went on test Sora's martial arts.
after they made some distance from each other, Sora rushed toward master Roshi and threw a punch in his face. Sora's world suddenly flipped outside down, before he slammed heavily onto the ground,
"That's the worth punch I have ever seen, you seem to have no knowledge of martial arts," Master Roshi said with a slight frown while looking at Sora who was blankly looking at him from the ground.
"stand up and come at me once more." master Roshi said calmly, Sora nodded before jumping up and sending a punch toward him, master Roshi didn't counter and simply blocked his attacks. Sora threw many attacks, and while also studying master Roshi movement. there was a deeper meaning to every movement, he away left himself a path to retreat and although he looked as if he had openings, those were of course not opening.
'he learning as he fights, it seems I should pressure the boy.' he thought before he began to put pressure on Sora, doing counters and attacking every time he saw an opening. Sora was forced to quickly learn to cover his weakness, plan his next moves, and so many others stuff within a few hours before master Roshi called it a day.
"so... tell me about yourself Sora, where are you from?" Master Roshi asked calmly as he and Sora sat to eat, Sora shrugged slightly.
"I can't tell that so easily, but I'm from far away. anyways... is the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament taking place any time soon?" Sora asked calmly, as he eat his food.
"it should be in 8 months. you plan to take place?" He said with a nod, Sora thought for a moment before shrugging.
"I might, I could use the reward. I could find a place to live since right now I'm homeless and all and I'm too lazy to get a job..." Sora said softly, making master roshi slightly. work was a pain in the ass, the two talked for some time before they got to bed, Sora didn't need to sleep and stayed up all night.
he closed his eyes and pictured that he was facing master Roshi and kept that night master Roshi, remembering his every move perfectly. so, later that morning, master Roshi woke up and found Sora up and training by the ocean.
"Master Roshi, round two," Sora said with a smile, Master Roshi was speechless as he looked at this before shaking his head.
"you didn't stay up all knight just training right?" He asked, Sora just smiled at his words not explaining himself. shaking his head, master Roshi went on to go get ready for the day before going on to spar with Sora once more.
Sora and Master Roshi went on the fight, Master Roshi's eyes twitched as he barely dodged Sora's punch. he was stunned by Sora's punch, it was nothing compared to yesterday. it was a punch from a pro, the two tried many blows, at high speed but Master Roshi had the edge in experience. Sora went on to be defeated after a few minutes,
"your improvement is like night and day. well, there is really not much I could teach you with your current capability. you best learn through combat," Master Roshi said softly, Sora was in deep too talented. if he was weaker, he could force on teaching Sora to break his limits. but Sora's physique was too powerful, if Sora was less talented then he would still teach him how to fight, yet Sora quickly learned that.
"I understand," Sora said with a slight nod. Master Roshi was stronger than him, he, of course, was holding back, when going all out he had a max powerlevel of 250, and he could one-shot Sora if he wished. of course when fighting Master Roshi Sora didn't use Qi, and he only showed a powerlevel of 20, which Master Roshi could easily match
"travel the world and challenge powerful martial artists, in a real battle I believe that's where your talent could truly shine." Master Roshi said to which sora nodded, he went on to tell Sora places he should visit before Sora left. when master Roshi saw Sora up and fly, he almost fell over as this was the last thing he expected to see.
As Sora flew off, he thought about his next move. this was the lower stages of dragon ball, so there was not much stuff that Sora was interested in. Sora went on to go search for the world's best martial art school and fight everyone he meant,
and so time quickly went by with Sora jumping from dojo to dojo, fighting expects of all kinds with the sword and without the sword. this of course many talents which forced Sora to use his Ki, from the leader of the Dojo and many others. within 1 month, Sora's name spread across all the Dojo around him, but by that time Sora had gotten bored with all of this.

'sigh, my body, and energy cultivation are not balanced, I should go and cultivate to increase my cultivation to be equal.' Sora thought while standing over a cliff and looking at his powerlevel, his body has been growing stronger as he was pushing it when fighting others, there were a few times he fought others with a powerlevel of 30 and above it truly pushed his physical body to its limits. those were what allowed him to break through.
that was not all the improvement, he was close to reaching the second level of the Sword Doa, so he entered the system and spent some time cultivating before breaking through to level 3 body refinement in both body and energy. with the improvement in his strength, Sora went on to get ready to fight

"alright, system. let me fight the first puppet of the second floor." Sora yelled and with that, a puppet suddenly appeared before him. this puppet had an even more deadly sword aura about it, clearly, it was about to touch upon the second level of the sword Dao.
{all puppets are set to your cultivation level. but from now on, they will have a boost of power from their items. the puppet's current power level... 110 } the system said as the aura on the puppet suddenly increased, Sora had sweat run down his forehead, sensing this, but he dodged as he had another sword appear in his hands. with a power level of 127.5, Sora took a deep breath before rushing toward the puppet
the puppet and human clashed, and unlike the last puppet, Sora flashed this puppet didn't need to force as much to cut something. They move at such high speed that normal humans would have a hard time even keeping up with them, Sora of course had the power head, but he didn't fight to win as he felt like his sword down was about to touch upon something.
time quickly passed, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour... all of the sudden, Sora unleashed a powerful Sora aura, and with a swing cut through the puppet easily cutting it into pieces before cutting the puppet into pieces.
{congrulation host on comprehending the second level of the sword Dao.} the system said as Sora let out a deep breath as he watched the puppet putting into self back together,

'now, I can half-ass cut metal. let's see... I should be the strongest human... wait, system, why is my race mortal?' Sora asked as he noticed he was not human
{host is not a god or anything. you are also not human. so, your race is mortal until you cultivate The Supreme Sword God Cultivation art, and become a Supreme Sword God. your own unique race which suppresses all.} the system said to which Sora nodded slightly before throwing the two swords to the ground, holding his two fingers out like swords, he stood before the puppet which had already recovered, before they began fighting once more, with Sora using the Unparalleled Finger Divine Sword. he quickly began gaining mastery within the technique,
there would no longer be side effects from him using this technique, so he could freely use it. and of course, as levels went up, the better he could comprehend the Sword Dao, and his strength would be higher.
