Chapter 138 - Forming the Earth Army

"Besides our Earth, there actually exists extraterrestrial civilizations?!"

"Alien races are evil, cold, and cruel, often invading and enslaving other weaker species!"

"His Majesty the King and the Lord Kami have issued a joint statement, officially forming the Earth Army to defend against alien invasions. We call on passionate young men and women to enlist actively!"

A few days after the king's visit to Yuujin, he and Yuujin delivered a joint statement on live global television, announcing the existence of alien civilizations and the plan to form an Earth Army.

The world was shocked!

For humanity, questioning whether it was alone in the universe had been an age-old mystery, and the search for alien life had long been part of popular culture. When the king and Yuujin presented substantial evidence of alien existence, people were naturally astonished. However, what stunned them even more was the description of these alien civilizations by His Majesty and the Lord Kami—

Evil! Cold-blooded! Cruel!

Driven by their race's interests, they continuously plunder and enslave weaker species. Piccolo, who almost destroyed Earth, was, in fact, an alien from a planet called Namek!

According to His Majesty and the Lord Kami, Earth's civilization is too weak in the cosmic scale. Without swift development, Earth might soon face invasions from other civilizations.

Thus, the Earth Army's formation became imperative!

Many leaders often underestimate the resilience of ordinary citizens, thinking minor threats would cause panic and chaos. Initially, even the king hesitated when Yuujin proposed disclosing extraterrestrial life to the public.

But people aren't so fragile. If one person can handle the truth, why wouldn't others?

Though news of alien life initially caused widespread panic on Earth, people quickly acclimated, developing a strong sense of crisis awareness.

Thus, the formation of the Earth Army progressed smoothly, with many young men and women eagerly signing up to serve and defend the planet.

Since defending Earth against powerful, malicious alien civilizations demanded more than standard training, the king and Yuujin reached an agreement: the government of Kaiselukin would recruit soldiers and cover all training expenses, while the training and weaponry for the Earth Army would be managed by Dragon Ball Corporation, with the command jointly held by the king and Yuujin.

Yet Yuujin was responsible for training and arming the soldiers. In the end, it was he who decided where and how they would fight.

The king understood this arrangement well, but he raised no objections.

Yuujin, possessing invincible strength, had no need for the Earth Army to harm humanity if he intended to. His Red Silk Girls alone would be more than sufficient.

Furthermore, as Earth's Lord Kami and savior, Yuujin had earned the king's full confidence. The king trusted him implicitly, feeling that following Yuujin's lead was in humanity's best interest.

In short, the king was somewhat "played" by Yuujin but willingly accepted the necessity.

With government backing and Dragon Ball Corporation's support, the formation of the Earth Army proceeded swiftly and methodically.

However, Earth's and humanity's potential is vast, and merely forming an Earth Army was far from satisfying Yuujin. He soon began his next phase, inviting Master Roshi, Son Gohan, Ox King, Crane Hermit, Tao Pai Pai, and other prominent martial artists to a grand martial arts conference in West City.

This wasn't like the World Martial Arts Tournament for sparring. It was a forum for these martial arts masters to discuss advancing Earth's martial arts.

Unlike academia, martial arts circles often hold onto their techniques exclusively within their schools, stunting the development of martial arts.

Yuujin aimed to change that. He urged the masters to set aside divisions, share their techniques, and promote martial arts across Earth.

Initially, the masters resisted, seeing no reason to share their ancestors' legacies. But after Yuujin's heavenly influence and promises of substantial benefits, they relented. When Master Roshi and Crane Hermit agreed to share their techniques, the others quickly followed.

The Turtle and Crane Schools are Earth's top martial arts schools. Techniques like Roshi's Kamehameha and Shockwave Palm, and Crane Hermit's Dodon Ray and Flight Technique, are revered. Sharing lesser techniques in exchange for such prestigious skills was a major benefit!

So, the conference concluded with various schools openly sharing their skills, a significant advancement for Earth's martial arts community.

Yet even this wasn't enough. Yuujin desired mass participation in martial arts, hoping everyone on Earth would train.

To make martial arts accessible, Yuujin collaborated with the masters to develop training methods suitable for everyone. While these methods wouldn't make everyone a martial arts expert, they would improve health and overall fitness.

This alone was a huge success!

After thoroughly reviewing their work, Yuujin finally smiled with satisfaction...

Technically, Yuujin wasn't a true martial artist, as he pursued power rather than martial arts itself.

Why was he pushing Earth's martial arts, even going so far as to develop accessible techniques that held no personal benefit?

No, Yuujin had his own motives!

After learning the Spirit Bomb from the Kai and becoming Earth's Lord Kami, he had the entire planet as his energy reserve. Against formidable foes, he could rally the Earth's energy to his aid.

Earth's population, including humans and various demi-humans, numbers in the hundreds of billions. If each individual provided even a single unit of energy, Yuujin would have billions of units—a terrifying amount!

And this wasn't the limit. If everyone trained, their energy contributions to Yuujin would increase exponentially.

This ambition led Yuujin to spread martial arts worldwide, not to create strong martial artists but to foster a reserve of energy for himself.

Even Yuujin was startled by his own plan's audacity. It seemed insane, but it worked!

With Dragon Ball Corporation's resources, Yuujin disseminated the techniques globally and used his Lord Kami status to promote training on live television, urging everyone to practice martial arts. Slogans appeared everywhere:

Train daily, grow stronger!An hour of training daily, a lifetime of wellness!Martial arts for all benefits society and future generations!Humanity needs martial arts, the world desires peace!Embrace martial arts for a thriving society!

The entire world embraced martial arts feverishly, but Yuujin knew mere slogans wouldn't sustain it. To keep people engaged, tangible benefits were necessary.

Dragon Ball Corporation's president, Yuujin, announced that anyone with a battle power of 10 or more would receive the title of "Professional Martial Artist" and could join the corporation's freelance team, earning a salary based on their battle power level.

This delighted martial artists worldwide. Many had abandoned martial arts due to financial hardship, but now, with sufficient battle power, they could receive a stipend from Dragon Ball Corporation.

While Dragon Ball Corporation had funds to support martial artists indefinitely, Yuujin made it clear they would be called upon when needed, which they readily accepted.

This only marked Dragon Ball Corporation's efforts. Yuujin also collaborated with Kaiselukin's government, ensuring martial artists received higher pay, prestigious positions, and other incentives.

Under Yuujin's efforts, martial arts culture blossomed across the world. It wasn't uncommon to see people practicing on the streets, and parents even encouraged their children to train diligently.

In short, Earth entered a great era of martial arts prosperity!

With everything progressing as planned, from the Earth Army to the advancement of martial arts, Yuujin proceeded with his next objective—

Establishing the Three Great Academies!

The Three Academies are: Shenron Empire Academy, Red Silk Battlemaiden Academy, and Holy Maid Academy.

Shenron Empire Academy, created to cultivate administrative talent for Yuujin's envisioned empire, recruits gifted youth from across the globe to develop their potential.

Red Silk Battlemaiden Academy serves to train Yuujin's personal guard. Initially, Yuujin resorted to harsh methods, but now, he could take his time cultivating talent. The Red Silk Battlemaidens would possess loyalty and beauty alike, with access to unlimited resources like Senzu Beans and Divine Peaches.

Finally, the Holy Maid Academy would nurture maids for Yuujin's service. Despite Bulma's initial objections, she ultimately conceded, assisting Yuujin in establishing the school and selecting suitable candidates.

Because of Yuujin, Earth was transforming dramatically.

And thus, three years quickly passed…
