Chapter 137 The Match in Progress
"Sun Wukong and Namo contestants, please prepare!"
The sound from the radio filled Rod's ears, bringing him a sense of relief.
Namo?
The name sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite place it at the moment, so he looked towards the arena.
Upon seeing the man wearing a veil, information about him immediately came to Rhodes' mind.
Namo is none other than the person who wanted to win the prize money from the World Martial Arts Tournament to solve the drought problem in his hometown.
Rod remembers that his hometown was very backward and the people there lived a very primitive life. In the original timeline, it was Master Roshi who provided him with water resources, and later it was Goku who helped to completely solve the drought.
However, Master Roshi is not participating in the World Martial Arts Tournament and has no connection with Namu, so it's unlikely that Goku will be able to solve the drought problem.
In this way, the problems facing Namo's hometown cannot be solved, and it is unknown how many people will die.
With this in mind, Rhodes sent his clone to resolve the matter. It was just a small favor, so he figured he might as well do it for the sake of helping others.
On the arena, Wukong was trying his best to control his power, but the gap between the two was too great. After only a few moves, Namo was defeated and looked dazed.
However, since I'm not as skilled as them, there's not much to say. It seems I'll have to find another way.
Thinking this, Namo cupped his hands in greeting to Wukong and then disappeared into the crowd.
After Wukong, the martial arts competitions continued one after another, and in each competition, one person was eliminated.
During this time, it's worth mentioning that Tien Shinhan unfortunately encountered Bardock. Faced with such a weak opponent, Bardock had no desire to fight and directly defeated Tien Shinhan instantly, eliminating him.
Just as unlucky as Tien Shinhan was Yamcha, who became Raditz's opponent in one of his matches.
The fight between the two wasn't as fast as the one between Bardock and Tien Shinhan. They exchanged a few blows, but Raditz was mostly just playing around. In the end, the result was not surprising: Yaweicha was defeated.
Aside from Tien Shinhan and Yamcha being rather unlucky, Gine, Goku's mother, also had bad luck, as she encountered Isla, who had transformed into Po'er.
Although both were female Saiyans, Isla showed no mercy. Just like those who had been her opponents before, Gine was instantly defeated in one move.
Just as unlucky as Gine was Kiki, who also encountered Ella and was eliminated in one move.
In other duels, such as Lapis, also known as number seventeen, encountered Lanfang, who had short purple hair.
Although Lanfang was a mature and alluring older sister, she was of no use to Lapis, who was still a teenager, and was directly punched off the stage.
There was another unexpected duel with Rhodes: the bald-headed Krillin actually encountered Lazuli, also known as Number 18. However, although Lazuli recognized Krillin, she did not hold back when she started fighting, and thus, Krillin was defeated.
As for Rhodes himself, apart from the barbarian he encountered at the beginning who had never taken a bath, the rest were all minor characters, whom he had no recollection of. He could easily take them down with a single punch.
As time went on, the top eight contestants were successfully determined.
The eight people are: Rhodes transformed into Saitama, Isla transformed into Bon Clay, Goku, Bardock, Raditz, Lapis, Lazuli, and the last lucky one, Tao Pai Pai.
Yes, Tao Pai Pai was very lucky. Like Rhodes, all the opponents he encountered along the way were ordinary Earth martial artists. Therefore, he was very fortunate to make it into the top eight.
However, even the weakest of the top eight, the siblings Lapis and Lazuli, have a fighting power of over 1,000. Tao Pai Pai would have to stop there if he encountered just one of them.
After a day of rest, the draw for the quarterfinals officially began.
The first battle: Rhodes transformed into Saitama versus Tao Pai Pai.
Yes, Rhodes, the strongest, was lucky enough to draw Tao Pai Pai. Needless to say, even though Tao Pai Pai was the founder of the flying mount system, it was useless. Facing Rhodes transformed into Saitama, he could only be defeated and eliminated with a single punch.
In the second match, Ella transformed into Feng Baobao versus Lazili. Although Lazili, also known as Number 18, possesses considerable fighting power, that is only relative to ordinary Earth martial artists. Naturally, she has no chance against Ella transformed into Feng Baobao.
The third match was between Badak and Lapis.
As expected, Badak won.
However, unlike the first three battles which ended cleanly and decisively, the fourth battle between Goku and Raditz lasted for quite some time.
Although Goku could sense that Raditz's power was not strong, he did not immediately attack and kill him.
No, more accurately, every battle Goku fought was a back-and-forth affair, and he would only defeat his opponent after the opponent had used all their skills.
Therefore, this was no exception in his battle against his brother Raditz.
In particular, Raditz, although not very strong, was much stronger than the opponents he had encountered before, so Goku could finally fight a little more freely.
boom!
In the clash of their powers, Goku and Raditz fought to a draw.
However, instead of feeling joy at this outcome, Raditz's face was filled with displeasure and even anger.
After all, there was a huge difference in strength between the two, but at this moment, his younger brother was actually fighting him to a standstill!
At that moment, Raditz didn't feel that his younger brother Kakarot was showing him respect as an older brother; instead, he felt humiliated.
"Kakarot, you've gone too far!"
Face to face, Raditz unleashed his full power beyond his limits, roaring as he attacked Goku.
boom!
Upon suddenly hearing Raditz's furious roar, Goku was momentarily stunned and was sent flying backward by Raditz's punch.
hateful!
However, Raditz became even angrier when he saw that he had sent his younger brother Kakarot flying with a single punch.
In Raditz's view, Kakarot was simply belittling him, or even doing him a favor.
After all, with Goku's current power, defeating Raditz should only take one move. However, the fact is that they have been fighting for so long, and now Goku has been knocked away by Raditz.
If Goku knew what Raditz was thinking, he would definitely feel very innocent.
Because Goku really didn't think that much about it; he just felt that Raditz was much stronger than his previous opponents and planned to have a good fight with him.
As for any thoughts of contempt or charity, he had absolutely no such ideas.
With a roar, Raditz followed and attacked Goku in a fit of rage.
boom!
"Big brother, why are you angry?"
Adjusting his body, Goku raised his hand to block Raditz's attack, his little face filled with confusion.
"asshole!"
However, at this moment, upon hearing his younger brother's words and seeing his innocent appearance, Raditz roared at him fiercely.
Raditz then jumped off the ring and ran away without looking back, because he simply couldn't take it anymore.
The two sides are not on the same page at all, so there's no point in saying more.
"Huh?"
Seeing his older brother run away, Wukong scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.
