[Congratulations to the host for completing the quest, the reward has been distributed into storage.] The system task completion prompt sounded.
Using his mind to silently activate the systems storage function, Krillins consciousness was transported to an empty white void that seemed to go on forever.
Krillin looked at his ethereal transparent hands, he quickly realized it was only his conscious that was transported here and not his actual body.
Walking just a few feet away he picked up a single plain green bean on the flootlr. This was the Dragon Ball's ultimate healing medicine, the Senzu Bean!
With the bean in hand Krillin looked around this empty void with excitement in his eyes, he didn't realize that his storage function was actually an infinite dimension that existed solely to store his items!
With a though Krillin was back to the real world and walked off stage, his face was battered and his arms slightly broken, so he simply took a tiny bite off of the senzu bean. He immediately felt the affects of the magical legume as his stomach felt full and his injuries went away in an instant.
These beans were super rare in the anime, only a few were given at a time but that was becuase of one idiot fat man, Yajirobe! There use to be a giant jar filled with hundreds of Senzu beans collected over the centuries, but that fat bastard Yajirobe ate all of them!
In this lifetime, Krillin would make sure to swoop in and prevent that tragedy from happening! It was because of that reasoning Krillin was so casual with eating the magical bean for his non fatal injuries.
With the end of Krillin's match, the list of participants for the quarterfinals was released. They were: Jackie Chan, Yamcha, Krillin, Goku, the monk Namo, the purple haired Ranfan, the dinosaur monster Barton, and the smelly Bacterian.
After drawing lots, Yamcha is number 1, Jackie Chan (Master Roshi) number 2, Krillin is number 3, the Bacterian is number 4, Monster Barton is number 5, Goku is number 6, the monk Namo is number 7, and the Ranfan is number 8.

Please abide by the rules of the game." The referee added.
After listening, the participants of the quarterfinals returned to their respective hotels.
Bulma and the others were very happy to hear that everyone had made it to the quarterfinals, congratulated each other, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
After some some training, Krillin went to sleep and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
The first match was between Yamcha and Jackie Chan (Master Roshi). Bulma saw that the big fighting ring was surrounded by people and it was difficult to move closer.
She was worried that she would not be able to see Yamcha's match but was saved as suddenly, launch sneezed and turned blonde! Blonde Ranch immediately took out a submachine gun from a capsule and fired at the ground!
"Move out of the way if you don't want be given a few more holes!" The bloodthirsty blonde Launch yelled out, causing people to disburse and creating a path for them to move to the front row of the fight!
'How the hell is that legal! Why is nobody arresting her!" Shaking his head at the blonde woman shooting her gun and threatening people, Krillin focused on the match and the beginning of Yamcha's downfall.
In the original Dragon Ball, Yamcha was great in the beginning but he soon met a never ending losing streak. He lost to Master Roshi in the 21st tournament, Tien Shinhan in the 22nd Tournament and got his leg broke, King piccolo in the 23rd tournament.
Yamcha's losses even transcended battle, he even lost Bulma to a psychotic Alien who's killed hundreds of millions and even tried to kill their entire friend group!
On the ring, Jackie Chun and Yamcha stood in their combat stances and the referee started the match.
Yamcha rushed out and started punching and kicking Jackie Chun, who nimbly and casually dodged the wild attacks. Yamcha didn't hit Jackie Chun with a single move despite the speed and ferocity behind his movements.
Seeing that this was ineffective, Yamcha could only go all out and increase his punch speed to his absolutely limits! The faint outline of a wolf covered Yamcha's figured as the attacks turned into a blur for even Krillin!
Jackie Chan was still at ease dodging these blindingly fast attacks and after a few minutes of Yamcha going all out, the wild haired man began to slow down as his attacks became sluggish and tired.
When Jackie Chan saw that Yamcha's was out of stamina, he immediately found the right opportunity to punch Yamcha with a sharp jab on the chin.
The punch was quick and sharp but lacked power, Yamcha jumped up and distanced himself from Jackie Chan.
Before Yamcha had the chance to regain his faculties, Jackie Chan's fist came again and slammed into his face. Once again the punch was sharp, it landed on the bandits nose causing tears to well up but it once again lacked power behind it.
He was using the Wing Chun technique, he couldn't use his Turtle Hermits style and expose himself to Krillin and Goku after all.
Yamcha could only desperately use his Wolf Fang Fist to attack Jackie Chan and regain distance from him.
Yamcha had never felt this level of powerlessness before, the martial arts that he created was nothing before this old man! It's not like the old man moved too fast to see or had strength that shook mountains, he could simply read all of Yamcha's attacks and used the minimum effort to dodge them!
Jackie Chan finally went on the offensive, his punches and kicks seemed to always work their way through Yamcha's defenses and struck his body. Just as the previous bandits was pushed to the edge, a powerful kick from Jackie Chan sent the young man tumbling out of the Arena.
The result is obvious, Jackie Chun won.
In less than 5 minutes, Yamcha lost, and he lost to an old man no less. He hadn't even got to fight Goku yet, his heart was full of self hatred for his own weakness.
"You have reached this point on your own, which is already very good. As long as you have a good teacher to guide you, I believe you will become even stronger." Jackie Chan praised, and then pulled Yamcha up from under the floor.
"I have a relative named Master Roshi. I can say hello to him and let you practice with him. I believe you can become stronger too." Jackie Chan said.
'Isn't Master Roshi the master of Goku and the bald kid?' Yamcha thought.
"Thank you very much." Yamcha tried to sound enthusiastic but he was still upset at the overwhelming loss.
Yamcha and Jackie Chan returned to the contestants' rest area together.
'As expected, just like the original story, Yamcha was defeated by Jackie Chun. I wonder how Id stand against him' Krillin thought.
"Goku, I'm sorry, I lost and can't fight with you." Yamcha said helplessly.
"There will be many more opportunities in the future Yamcha." Goku consoled.
"In the next match, fighter Krillin will face the Bacterian. Please come off the field and get ready." At this time, the referee's voice announced.
As soon as the referee's voice ended, Krillin and the foul smelling Bacterian walked to the ring.
"Krillin is participating in the Tenkaichi Martial Arts Tournament for the first time. He is a disciple of Master Roshi and belongs to the Hermit sage school. He's defeated most of his opponents within the first five seconds and he has achieved such a feat at the age of 13! It is expected that he will become one of the greatest martial artist of his generations, give it up for Krillin!" The referee yelled out into the microphone
Wave of applauding and cheering rang out, Bulma and Launch shouted out and rooted for him.
"Now Krillin's opponent is a homeless guy who has participated in the world's number one martial arts tournament before. He has not taken a shower since the day he was born and his body emits a potent smell He is good at using his own stench to stun his opponents, and then throwing the unconscious opponents out of the field. Give it up for Bacterian!." The referee yelled out, his finger clenching his nose shut.
The audience booed immediately, many people held their noses because the stench of the homeless man had spread.
"Both fighters are you ready!" Getting a nodded from both fighters, the referee immediately began the match and ran away from the stinking man.
Krillin stood still as the stinking Man turned his back towards Krillin and let out a loud fart that shook the floor! Those closest to the arena fainted from the smell, those further back began vomiting in disgust.
Even those battle harden fighters who were waiting to fight began gagging and struggled to not throw up at the smell, as for Krillin...
*Bang* The bald boy hit the floor like a sack of potatoes!
With a victorious smirk on his nasty face, Bacterian began walking over to Krillin.
"That was easier than the last match!" As the man's unclean hands were just a few inches away from grabbing him, Krillins eyes shot open and a fist slammed into the Bacterian face breaking their nose!
The oafish man stumbled back in shock as tears welled up in his eyes from pain! The dirty man looked up but all he saw was a shoe as Krillin kicked the man straight in the face and launched him out of the ring towards the crowd.
The fat man landed on the ground and the spectators closest to him also began fainting from disgust.
"You idiot, can't you see that I don't have a nose!"
