In the story of "Dragon Ball", the strongest person in the universe, Sun Wukong, who respects the most, in addition to the grandfather who raised him, may only be his master Gui Immortal.
However, when the editor first saw the turtle immortal in the manga, the impression left was not too good. Both lustful and rogue, he only knows how to stare at Bulma's panties and get rid of a funny character, and he can't connect with the martial arts master.
It wasn't until I saw the chapters of Goku, Kurin's worship of the Turtle Fairy Stream, and the decisive battle of the Piccolo Demon King, that I found that this seemingly unkind old man was the one who really influenced Goku's life.

Goku was originally a monkey boy in the mountains, and before he met the turtle fairy, all his behavior was out of his heart. And during the time of the Turtle Immortal Stream, it was the time when he really transformed into a martial artist.
The martial arts of the Turtle Immortal Stream were different from those of the Crane Immortal Stream, and the Turtle Immortal was not eager to teach his disciples the moves, he focused on the basic cultivation. The seemingly simple tasks of delivering milk, pushing stones, and hoeing the ground all exercise the disciples' physique and will.
At the same time, the Turtle Immortal also attaches great importance to the cultural literacy of his apprentices, and he believes that a good martial artist must not only exercise his body, but also have a good brain. Under the strict requirements of the Turtle Immortal, the wild boy Goku even had the ability to learn to hyphenate.
The educational concept of the Turtle Immortals, which pays attention to the basics and combines culture and martial arts, has also achieved remarkable results at the World's First Martial Arts Conference. Compared with the dumplings of the Crane Immortal Stream, the disciples of the Turtle Immortal Stream are obviously much smarter, although they have not been able to learn one move and one style from the Turtle Immortal, but they can understand the extremely practical moves such as qi circle chop, gas bomb, dance air technique, and sun fist on their own, which are closely related to the turtle immortal's emphasis on basic education.
Although the Turtle Immortals are usually old and unorthodox, they pay great attention to the training of cultivation when educating their disciples. When Goku first worshiped under the door, he did not perform the ritual because seeing people was "hey", and he was beaten by the turtle immortals. When Goku's grandfather Gohan and the Bull Demon King, who were also disciples of the Turtle Immortals, saw the Turtle Immortals, they also worshiped with great respect, which showed that the Turtle Immortals still attached great importance to martial arts etiquette.
Therefore, when the Gui Immortals were educating their disciples, they were rushing to cultivate martial arts masters, and although the disciples had mastered many killing techniques, they were completely inferior to the Gui Immortal Stream in their understanding of martial arts and the pursuit of their spirit, and all the disciples who were trained appeared as killers.
In the martial arts concept of the Turtle Immortals, the practice of martial arts is not for the purpose of fighting or showing, but to make people physically and mentally healthy and happy. In his opinion, being able to improve his own physique and mental state is the true meaning of martial arts, and as for things like the first in the world, it has not been something he considers. From this point of view, the realm of the Turtle Immortals is obviously much higher than that of similar people.
The turtle immortal's martial arts cultivation method can also be regarded as the first in the world, and he let Goku and Kulin carry heavy turtle shells for training, which can be seen in the future when Goku practices in the gods, the king of the realm, and the gravity room, which can be described as an excellent way of practicing ahead of the times.
In addition, the turtle immortals are also dedicated to the promotion of the younger generations. He impersonated the World's First Martial Arts Association in order to let Goku and Kulin understand the truth that "there are people outside the heavens and there are heavens outside the world"; he helped Nagi in the martial arts association who needed to bring water back to his water-scarce hometown; he painstakingly persuaded Tianjin rice to go the right way; he saw that after seeing the talent of Houlang, he dashingly handed over the world's strongest to the new era...
It can be seen that the Turtle Immortal has its own unique set of martial arts philosophy, which is one of the few people in the "Dragon Ball" series who can be called the Founder sect, and even summed up a set of cultivation theories of the Turtle Immortal Stream.
Cultivate well, study well, have fun, eat and drink well, and rest well, this is the cultivation of the Turtle Immortal Stream.
Goku is deeply influenced by the martial arts theory of the Turtle Immortals, and judging from his optimism in the face of difficulties and the way he trains Goku in the Saru chapter, they all originate from the Kame Immortal Stream. Moreover, in later battles, he often showed the shadow of the turtle immortal, such as enjoying the martial arts itself, calmly admitting that he was stronger than himself, and flexibly using tactics to win.
No wonder Goku respects the Turtle Immortal the most, and after he gets the martial arts passed down by the gods, he still secretly makes a dress with the turtle immortal stream logo to participate in the world's first martial arts meeting, which seems to tell the world that I am the strongest person who has come out of the turtle immortal stream!
The so-called teaching of words and deeds, the turtle immortals not only help the disciples improve their cultivation in theory, but he also gives the students the correct three views with practical actions. In the face of danger, even if the enemy's strength is stronger than their own, the turtle immortals will resolutely stand in front of the children (of course, after entering the Frieza chapter, the turtle immortals will not have this move, because this will only add to the chaos).
When the Piccolo Demon King came to the world, the Turtle Immortal made a decision at the first time, he wanted to seal the piccolo with the "Magic Seal Wave" that exchanged his life for his life. From the moment he stepped onto the battlefield, he was ready to die.
Master will take the lead, and the future will be up to you!
Although the seal of the Turtle Immortal failed, his sacrifice also aroused the fighting spirit of Tianjin Rice, and finally let him stand with Goku and face evil together. At this moment, the old man disappeared, and standing at the front to protect everyone was the generation of grandmasters known as Wu Tian Teacher.
Wukong, Kulin, Yamucha, Tianjin Rice... In the years to come, they will be able to bravely assume the responsibility of defending the earth, and all the origins will be due to the careful teaching of the turtle immortals. No wonder at the end of the piccolo chapter, even the gods involuntarily launched an exclamation...
Goku, you have met the best master in the world.
