Early life experience
Flute Demon Boy (juvenile) (3 photos)
Many years ago, the climate of Namex changed suddenly, and a Namex was divided into two bodies of justice and evil in order to become a qualified immortal, and the evil body came to the ground to become the Great Demon King of Vic and then endangered the world, but fortunately was sealed by Wu Taidou using the magic sealing wave. Hundreds of years later, the Vic Great Demon was released by Pilav and his gang and made a wish to restore his youth to the dragon, and then ruled the world, but was defeated by Sun Wukong. [9] Before his death, the Great Demon King Vic spat out eggs with all his power, and the Flute Demon Boy was born, and the life with the gods was also inherited by the Flute Demon Child. [10] After his birth, the Dizi Demon Boy carried a hatred for the Monkey King and continued to cultivate
Three years after the Great Demon King of Vic was defeated by Sun Wukong, the Dizi Demon Boy participated in the 23rd Tianxia First Martial Arts Association with the goal of killing Sun Wukong and avenging his father, and the Dizi Demon Boy, who participated in the World's First Martial Arts Association for the first time, advanced to the official tournament with an absolute advantage in the qualifiers. Sun Wukong had long known about the existence of the Dizi Demon Boy and had practiced in the temple for three years, so he gladly "went to the appointment".
The Flute Demon Boy defeated the first opponent Xiao Lin [11] in the official match, and the second opponent was "Mr. Shen", who was possessed by the immortals, and panicked when he learned that the immortals were ready to seal themselves with the magic seal wave, and then bounced the magic seal wave, sealed the immortals in the bottle, and swallowed them again. [12] In the finals with Son Goku, the Dizi Demon Boy razed Papaya Island (the venue of the 23rd Tianxia Daiichi Budokai) to the ground, and was injured by Son Wukong due to excessive consumption of strength. In the process of everyone reading the seconds, the flute demon boy used the "magic mouth cannon" to beat Sun Wukong into serious injury, and after a fight, he was knocked out of the field by Sun Wukong from behind and lost. The immortal wanted to execute him with his own hands (仙仙 = Dizi Demon Boy), but was stopped by Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong gave the battered Dizi Demon Boy immortal beans, and the Dizi Demon Boy left after recovering his strength, and threatened to defeat Sun Wukong one day
Five years later, when Monkey King's brother Raditz attacked Earth, the Flute Demon Boy chose to join forces with Monkey King to fight Raditz in order to clear the obstacles to his own conquest of the world. After a fierce battle, the Flute Demon Boy killed Raditz using the new special skill "Magic Light Killing Cannon", and Goku also died at the hands of the Flute Demon Boy because he was involved in Raditz. [14]
Before dying, Raditz revealed that there are two stronger Saiyans who are about to attack Earth in 1 year, and in order to deal with the stronger Saiyans, the Flute Demon Boy decides to take Sun Gohan, the son of Sun Goku, in order to train him into a powerful warrior. In the day and night with Sun Gohan, the flute demon boy gradually developed feelings for him, but it forcibly suppressed this feeling and continued to maintain a ruthless, fierce and strict manner. [15]
Age762 November 3. The two Saiyans Naba and Vegeta came to Earth and fought a mortal duel with all the warriors, and in order to protect Son Gohan, the Flute Demon Boy sacrificed his body to block the powerful attack of Saiyan Naba, and before dying, he finally showed his true feelings for Son Gohan and told him that he must live, and then died with the gods, and the seven dragon balls disappeared
After the sacrifice, the Dizi Demon Boy came to the Realm King Star to practice with the Realm King along with Dumpling, Tianjin Rice, and Yamucha, who were also killed in the battle of the Saiyans. On Earth, in order to resurrect the Flute Demon Boy and others, Son Gohan, Bulma and Kobayashi decide to go to Namek to find the Dragon Ball, but they meet the cosmic emperor Frieza who is also looking for the Dragon Ball.

At this time, Frieza has already fought with Son Gohan, Kobayashi, and Vegeta, and the Flute Demon Boy decides to defeat Frieza in order to protect Son Gohan and Namek. Halfway through, he assimilated with the Nemeri Neru, who was severely damaged by Frieza, and his combat power exploded [17] . After arriving at the battlefield, he engaged in a fierce battle with Frieza, and crushed his second form, forcing Friezza to transform again, and the Flute Demon Boy was completely defeated. [18] Later, Sun Wukong arrives to fight Frieza in a decisive battle, and while assembling the Genki Bomb, the Flute Demon Boy fights to save time and is hit by Frieza in a fatal blow to rescue Sun Wukong, almost dying. He was later returned to Earth by Namik's dragon Borenga and was cured by Dandy. After the Battle of Namex, the Flute Demon Boy decided to stay on Earth and protect it. [19] From this point on, he lost the title of "Great Devil" and gradually abandoned the evil heart.
On the day of Sun Wukong's return from the star of Adrat, the future teenager Trunks killed the Frieza father and son who came to Earth for revenge, and told Sun Wukong that in 3 years, there will be strong enemies to create people, and all the warriors will die at the hands of artificial humans. The Flute Demon Boy overhears the conversation between the two with his own tailwind, so it cleverly conceals Trunks' identity and tells his partners about the crisis 3 years later. [20] In order to fight against the artificial humans, Dizi Demon Tong and Sun Wukong's father and son practiced in Bunzishan for 3 years. [21]
Three years later, the Flute Demon Boy defeated Cyborg 20 (Dr. Gro) by an overwhelming margin, and was later defeated by the powerful Cyborg 17 and Cyborg 18. In order to gain more power, the Flute Demon Boy decides to reunite with the Immortals, who learn that in addition to artificial humans, there is an even more formidable enemy hidden on Earth - the artificial human Sharu. In order to protect the earth, with the Flute Demon Boy as the main body, the two merged. After the merger, the flute demon boy finally recovered into the original genius Namex Man, in addition to greatly increasing his strength, he also had the memory and all the knowledge of the gods, but he lost the magical ability of the original Namex - to make Dragon Balls and so on. [22] The flute demon boy after merging with the immortals is called by Kobayashi: Super Namei Nemesis.
Super Namex Man Flute Demon Boy deliberately absorbed energy during the battle with Shalu, took the opportunity to talk to Shalu, and learned the true origin of Shalu, that is, the most perfect combat machine - future artificial man, Sharu needs to absorb artificial man 17 and artificial man 18 before becoming a complete body. In order to prevent Sharu from becoming full, the Flute Demon Boy and the cyborg No. 17 fought fiercely, and the two were up and down, and after a fierce battle, they were seriously injured by the rushing Sharu due to lack of physical strength. [23] Later, he entered the Spirit Time House Special Training in order to defeat Sharu in the game of Sharu. In the game of Sharu, the Flute Demon Boy confronts the Shalu boy (Little Shalu) who was released by Shalu, and is rescued by Son Gohan, who turned into Super Saiyan 2, after a bitter battle

In the official tournament (Round of 16), the Dizi Demon Boy played against the Eastern Realm King God, and the Dizi Demon Boy felt the gap in level with the Eastern Realm King God, so he voluntarily abstained and lost without a fight. Later, the King God of the Eastern Realm revealed his true identity to Sun Wukong and the others. [25]
In the match between Son Gohan vs Jebit, Jebit asks Son Gohan to directly become a Super Saiyan and raise the qi to the maximum. The onlooker King God of the Eastern Realm informs everyone that Spobic and Yam will take away Son Gohan's power and dissuade everyone from meddling. Son Gohan is robbed of his power by Spobic and Yam, and then the two return to Buffydi's spaceship, followed by the Eastern King God and the Flute Demon Boy. [26]

However, Frost used a poison needle to numb Vic and won the victory.
Garker discovers and exposes the fact that Frost cheated with a weapon, and applies to the referee to change the result of the match to Vic Victory and disqualify Frost from the match.

When it was Goku's turn to duel with the sixth cosmic crusher Hitt, Bick learned from the conversation between Ves and Beerus: the so-called "strongest warrior Monaka" in front of him turned out to be just an ordinary person brought by Beerus from the side of the road by lying in order to stimulate the fighting spirit of Goku and Vegeta.
