The sea breeze blew, and waves crashed against the small island. After searching for three days, Zhou Zilong, piloting his jet, hovered overhead, his gaze fixed on the distant hut nestled on the island. His heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness, for he knew that the legendary Master Wu Tian—Master Roshi—resided there.
"I finally found him!" Zhou Zilong took a deep breath and slowly landed his aircraft on the island.
He stepped out of the aircraft, stored it away, and then politely walked towards the hut, asking, "Is Master Wu Tian in?"
The hut was silent, with no response. Zhou Zilong waited for a moment, then repeated, "Is Master Wu Tian in?" Still, there was no reply. He felt a little uneasy, but more than that, he was determined. He knew that since he had come this far, he could not give up easily.
Just as Zhou Zilong was about to speak for the third time, the hut door suddenly opened, and an old man with a bald head, white beard, sunglasses, and an orange casual shirt walked out. Zhou Zilong recognized him at once; it was his idol—Master Wu Tian.
"Young man, what brings you here?" Master Roshi asked with a smile.
Zhou Zilong immediately stepped forward, clasped his hands together in a respectful bow, and said, "My name is Zhou Zilong. I have long heard that Master Wu Tian is the strongest in the world, so I have come specifically to become your disciple, hoping to learn Master Wu Tian's martial arts to right some wrongs. Please accept me as your disciple, Master Wu Tian!"
After hearing Zhou Zilong's words, Master Roshi nodded slightly and said, "I don't just take anyone as a disciple, you know. I've lived for over three hundred years, and I've only taken two disciples in my entire life!"
Zhou Zilong's heart tightened, but he did not give up. Instead, he firmly said, "Then, Master Wu Tian, how can I become your disciple?"
Master Roshi looked at Zhou Zilong's determined eyes. He deliberately pretended to ponder, then his demeanor shifted as he said, "Unless you can find a beautiful girl to accompany me!"
The Sea Turtle, seeing Master Roshi say this, shook its head helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zilong thought to himself, 'This is indeed so like Master Roshi.' So, he said without hesitation, "I will do my best to find a suitable girl to accompany you!"
Zhou Zilong took out his jet again, then turned and left the island.
After several days of travel, Zhou Zilong arrived at a remote island. He took out a special capsule, and with a gentle press, the capsule emitted a loud "bang" and transformed into a massive mobile house.
Zhou Zilong quickly entered the house and went to a laboratory filled with various instruments. He began to get busy, moving instruments while flipping through cytology books.
After several days of effort, a slender and fair arm gradually took shape under Zhou Zilong's skillful hands. He nodded with satisfaction and muttered to himself, "Hmm, very successful. This arm, made according to cellular principles, is very successful!"
Next, Zhou Zilong took out a robot skeleton about 1.7 meters tall and installed the arm onto it. Then, he began to create the other parts of the robot's body.
Finally, a sweet and lovely purple-haired, blue-eyed woman with a graceful figure appeared before Zhou Zilong. She wore an outfit similar to a maid's uniform, looking both gentle and virtuous.
This purple-haired woman was precisely the lifelike robot Zhou Zilong had created based on Master Roshi's preferences. She not only possessed a beautiful appearance and a gentle personality but also had a certain degree of intelligence and learning ability.
Zhou Zilong named the robot "Meihui" and installed various sensors and programs, allowing her to act and think like a real person.
After everything was ready, Zhou Zilong took Meihui and once again returned to Master Roshi's island by jet.
"Master Wu Tian, I'm back!" Zhou Zilong shouted to Master Roshi in the distance, his voice carrying a mix of excitement and anticipation.
"Master Wu Tian, I apologize, I didn't find a beautiful girl, but I used my scientific technology to create a beautiful girl. I wonder if this meets the conditions for becoming your disciple?" Zhou Zilong said to Master Roshi upon his return.
Master Roshi stepped forward and carefully examined Meihui. His fingers gently touched Meihui's cheek, feeling the skin texture that was indistinguishable from a real person's. He was surprised to find that the robot's skin temperature and elasticity were identical to a real person's, and he could even feel faint breathing.
"A'gui, you're so annoying," Meihui pouted coyly in a charming voice when Master Roshi's finger touched her arm again. Her voice was clear and melodious, like a heavenly sound, causing Master Roshi to momentarily freeze.
"Hahahaha, Meihui, you truly are an interesting robot!" Master Roshi burst into laughter, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"Then, can I become your disciple now?" Zhou Zilong seized the opportunity to ask.
Master Roshi nodded and then said, "Very good, young man, you have passed my test. From today onwards, you are my third disciple. Remember not to cause trouble once you have mastered martial arts, understood!"
Zhou Zilong's heart swelled with joy, and he quickly replied, "Yes, this disciple will firmly remember Master's teachings!"
With that, Zhou Zilong first performed a kowtow ceremony to show respect as a disciple, then stood up. He took out several books from his backpack, handed them to Master Roshi, and said, "Master, these are gifts from your disciple to show my filial piety. Please accept them!"
Master Roshi took the books and, after flipping through a few pages, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He looked up at Zhou Zilong and said, "Hmm, a promising youth indeed! These books are very useful to me, so I will gladly accept them!"
Subsequently, Master Roshi said to Zhou Zilong, "Starting tomorrow, I will take you to train. Get some rest early tonight!"
Zhou Zilong responded, "Yes, Master Wu Tian!"
Just then, a somewhat mechanical voice from the system, Xiao Ling, who had entered a dormant update state, echoed in Zhou Zilong's mind: "You have encountered the second character in the Dragon Ball World. Given that Master Roshi is a relatively important supporting character in the early stages, you have received a special reward: one copy of the book 'Spatial Cultivation Law.' It has been stored in the system space, and Zilong can claim it at any time. Please do not be surprised, Zilong. Although Xiao Ling is still in a dormant update state, the reward mechanism was preserved for you before the dormancy. After encountering certain characters in the Dragon Ball World, the triggered rewards will still be issued as usual."
Zhou Zilong's heart stirred, and he immediately retrieved the 'Spatial Cultivation Law' from the system and began to read it. He discovered that the book contained a mysterious cultivation method that could achieve miraculous effects such as instant transmission and spatial traversal by cultivating spatial power.
Zhou Zilong was incredibly excited. He knew this would be a great aid on his future cultivation path. He quickly put the book away, preparing to slowly comprehend its mysteries in his future cultivation.
