Dragon God Power, Son Goku Advances!
"Transform, Son Goku! Don't waste our time!" Piccolo urged impatiently.
He doesn't need this kind of boring battle; his goal is to fight Son Goku in his Super Saiyan form.
Even if he suffers a crushing defeat, he will accept it willingly.
Upon hearing this, Son Goku turned around to confront Piccolo, while his aura continued to rise.
"Since you're so eager to fight me in my Super Saiyan form, then I won't waste any more time, hahaha!" With a loud shout, Son Goku decisively unleashed the Super Saiyan Energy Pool within his body.
The S-Cells in the body rhythmically converged rapidly at the center of the back spine, and then gushed out instantly.
'Splash!'
A golden aura erupted from the ground, and Son Goku's crab-like hairstyle transformed into a towering golden mane, his aura and Battle Power experiencing an explosive increase.
An aura of immense power, exceeding 100 million, expanded in all directions, instantly forming a powerful aura that completely overwhelmed Piccolo's aura.
With the power boost from Super Saiyan 1, Son Goku's Battle Power level has surpassed 150 million points.
This level of strength is actually the same as when he first became Super Saiyan.
Now, it's a full 6 years early.
The entire transformation process was completed in one go, without causing the slightest leakage of energy.
This demonstrates just how proficient he has become in mastering Super Saiyan 1.
I'm afraid... his current Super Saiyan form isn't his full power; he's only transformed into Super Saiyan at Piccolo's request.
As for whether they actually showed their true abilities, that's hard to say.
"Finally transformed? Super Saiyan..." Piccolo amplified his senses, carefully sensing the changes in Son Goku before him.
The powerful aura emanating from the other person subtly affected his mind to some extent.
The feeling of being up close is far clearer than watching from below the ring.
Piccolo can now clearly feel the power gap between himself and Son Goku; the two are no longer on the same level.
Even if the difference in strength is worlds apart, so what? He! Will still fight!!
"As you wish, I have become Super Saiyan. Are you ready, Piccolo?" Son Goku's lips curled up, revealing his signature smile.
He looked confident and awe-inspiring, as if he could defeat all enemies in the world.
"Don't get cocky!" Piccolo was ruthless and didn't say much. He raised his hand and fired a powerful Energy Cannon, attacking Son Goku head-on.
Faced with Piccolo's incredibly powerful energy cannon attack, Son Goku smiled slightly, showing no intention of dodging.
The moment the energy cannon was close, his eyes widened, his aura solidified, and an invisible pressure was released.
In the blink of an eye, this incredibly powerful Energy Cannon was blasted into fragments by his aura.
The mere presence of his aura was enough to block Piccolo's full-force Energy Cannon; the difference in their strength was self-evident...
"My turn, Piccolo!" As soon as he finished speaking, Son Goku transformed into a golden aurora and rushed straight towards Piccolo.
The sudden surge made Piccolo realize that something was terribly wrong; every cell in his body was sending him extremely dangerous signals.
He instinctively tried to dodge, but Son Goku had already rushed in front of him, his iron fist, enveloped in golden energy, swinging out with unstoppable force.
Seeing this, Piccolo instinctively raised his arms to block, but unfortunately he was a step too slow.
'Bang!' A heavy punch landed squarely on Piccolo's chest.
An unimaginable force pierced through Piccolo's body, and pain swept over him. Piccolo's face turned ashen, and he was forced backward until he barely managed to stop at the edge of the ring.
This punch, which Son Goku used less than 50% of his power, was already at Piccolo's current limit.
"How does it feel? This is the power of Super Saiyan!" Son Goku said confidently.
He did this to discourage Piccolo, because the moment he transformed into Super Saiyan, their strength was no longer on the same level.
"Ptooey!" Piccolo spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, a smile appearing on his face.
Upon seeing that smile, Son Goku was slightly taken aback. Could it be that Piccolo had some hidden trump card up his sleeve? "The power of Super Saiyan is indeed strong, but if that's all you've got, you can't defeat me!!" With that, Piccolo began to unleash his aura, gradually awakening the special power dormant within his body.
His aura was increasing at an extremely rapid pace, and his Battle Power was also increasing accordingly.
"You're still hiding your strength?! That's great!" Son Goku's eyes blazed with fighting spirit, eagerly anticipating Piccolo's full power.
Right now, in the backstage rest area.
The warriors watched Piccolo's changing aura with utter astonishment and shock.
In particular, Raditz and Selari, who were wearing Virtual Glasses, were monitoring Piccolo's Battle Power index in real time.
"His Battle Power has increased very quickly. It seems he underwent a very difficult training on Namek. Now his Battle Power index has exceeded 60 million points!" Selari exclaimed.
The last time I saw Piccolo, his Battle Power index was only 200 points.
But now it has exceeded 60 million points. This guy's talent is indeed monstrous.
"This rate of progress... is much faster than ours back then. Could there be some secret about him?" Raditz fell into deep thought. Piccolo's soaring strength reminded him of the transformations of their Saiyan race.
Now that they have all become Super Saiyan through training, could the Namekian also have Super Namekian transformation? With the changing times, it seems not impossible today.
Piccolo might be that Super Namekian! Nearby, Lagar and Nail exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing surprise and joy.
Even they didn't know that Piccolo had already touched this power.
Although it was only a preliminary touch, even this small amount was enough to boost Piccolo's strength to an astonishing level.
[It seems that sending him to Namek for training was the right decision. I didn't expect him to grow to this level so quickly, and he even comprehended that power ahead of schedule...] Talot thought to himself.
Piccolo's performance caught his eye; the special power emanating from Piccolo was the same as the power that Lagar had unleashed back then.
That unknown and powerful force, which is closely related to the Dragon God.
Although it was very weak, this small amount was enough to boost Piccolo's strength to an astonishing level.
"This aura... it's astonishing!" Krillin's face flashed with horror after sensing Piccolo's burst of energy, finding Piccolo's increased strength unbelievable.
This fierce aura far surpasses his normal state. If Son Goku were replaced by him, he would probably have to use the Kaio-ken to fight Piccolo! "Don't worry, although this aura is powerful, it is still not as good as Goku's Super Saiyan..." Tien Shinhan calmly analyzed from the side.
The power of Super Saiyan was like an insurmountable mountain, blocking his way.
But he was also very excited. Things were different now. Facing Super Saiyan, although he wasn't sure he could win, he was confident he wouldn't be easily defeated.
That's his progress! Even Nappa was eliminated, was greatly shocked after feeling Piccolo's ever-increasing aura.
I never imagined that the Namekian's Battle Power could be raised to such a formidable level.
The extent to which this aura had increased shocked even Vegeta, who began to carefully sense it.
On the arena.
Piccolo's ever-expanding aura reached a critical point, and a faint golden light flashed within the white flames surrounding him.
His Battle Power also soared to an astonishing 70 million points at this moment!
Although there is still a considerable gap between her and Son Goku's 150 million Battle Power, it is quite remarkable that she has been able to improve her strength to this extent in such a short period of time.
"Amazing!" Son Goku praised Piccolo sincerely.
"I don't need your approval, come and fight, Son Goku!!" With a loud shout, Piccolo leaped into the air and charged towards Son Goku at full speed.
"Alright, then I'll grant your wish and fight you to your heart's content!" Son Goku's lips curled up slightly as he unleashed sixty percent of his power to Piccolo.
'Bang!!!!' As their fists collided again, this exhilarating and intense battle continued.
Piccolo's relentless attacks were so fierce that every move was deadly.
His relentless attacks allowed him to demonstrate combat capabilities far exceeding those of his peers.
But this level of attack is nothing to Son Goku.
Even though he deliberately suppressed his strength in his Super Saiyan form, his eyesight remained sharp and his body's instinctive reactions were almost perfect.
His formidable fighting ability, coupled with the well-rounded Turtle School Fighting Method, meant that no matter how Piccolo attacked, he couldn't harm him in the slightest.
After dozens, even hundreds, of attacks were blocked by Son Goku, Piccolo's face turned extremely ugly. He decisively changed his battle strategy, leaping into the air to a height of 100 meters and rapidly gathering energy in his hands.
"Take this!! Son Goku!!" Piccolo thrust his hands forward, unleashing a devastating Golden Lightning Cannon from his palms, carrying the power to destroy the world as it hurtled toward Son Goku.
"Well done!" Son Goku was not afraid at all. He gathered his strength in his legs and transformed into a cannonball, rushing straight out to collide head-on with Piccolo's Golden Lightning Cannon.
The powerful protective aura, like a sharp blade, mercilessly sliced through the energy cannon.
"What?!" Piccolo's pupils shrank sharply. Before he could even react, Son Goku had already charged in front of him, unleashing a powerful punch.
A series of terrifying sounds, like a 'bang!', exploded as flesh was pierced.
Son Goku's iron fist struck Piccolo squarely in the abdomen, the terrifying force penetrating Piccolo's body.
"Pfft!!" Piccolo, struck hard, spat out a jet of blood, his whole body trembled, and his breath rapidly diminished.
If it weren't for the intense training he'd undergone over the years, which had forged his body into an incredibly strong form, he probably would have completely lost his fighting ability under the power of that terrifying punch.
That wasn't all. Son Goku clasped his hands together to form a super warhammer and slammed it down on Piccolo's back.
A deafening 'Boom!' resounded.
Swept by the immense force, Piccolo lost control of his body and crashed into the center of the ring, creating another huge crater in the repaired ring.
His body trembled from the blow, and even standing up became extremely difficult.
Even though he had initially mastered the Dragon God Power, there was still a considerable gap in strength compared to Son Goku's Super Saiyan 1.
"Damn it...!!" Piccolo gritted his teeth, forced himself to stand up, and wanted to fight again.
A whooshing sound rang out.
Just then, Son Goku descended before him once more, his right hand outstretched, fingers spread, aimed at Piccolo, his aura gathering in his palm, ready to strike.
Upon witnessing this scene, Piccolo froze, knowing he was doomed to lose...
"It's over, Piccolo." As soon as he finished speaking, Son Goku released the Ki Blast Cannon that he had gathered in his palm. The powerful aura struck Piccolo's body directly.
Piccolo, who was hit hard, was knocked off the ring.
The outcome is now known.
"The winner, the defending Champion, Son Goku!!" The Blonde Referee immediately declared Son Goku the winner after seeing Piccolo fall off the stage.
The crowd cheered.
The title of last year's Champion is too big.
Son Goku successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, while Piccolo was eliminated in the round of Top 16.
The intensity and excitement of the battle ignited the audience's passion, making it incredibly enjoyable and thrilling for them.
Son Goku then deactivated his Super Saiyan 1 transformation, walked off the stage, and extended his right hand to Piccolo, trying to Piccolo up.
Piccolo looked at Son Goku with a gloomy expression.
After hesitating for a long time, he refused Son Goku's kindness, endured the pain in his body, stood up, and brushed past Son Goku.
"You won this time, but it might not be the same next time, Son Goku." Piccolo left these words and issued a new challenge to Son Goku.
"Hehe~! I'm really looking forward to our next duel." After revealing an innocent smile, Son Goku walked backstage with Piccolo.
In the spectator stands.
Old Kai watched Son Goku and Piccolo's performance closely, nodding repeatedly and muttering to himself, "Not bad, truly promising talents."
"Ancestor, do you think the battle between Son Goku and Piccolo was very intense, or..." East Supreme Kai asked tentatively.
"From my observation just now, I sensed that incredibly powerful energy lies dormant within their bodies. If I were to Potential Development, their strength would be greatly enhanced. However... this Piccolo named Namekian is not complete. It's a pity. If he were complete, perhaps this match would have had a different outcome." The Old Kai explained earnestly, stroking his chin with his right hand.
These words reminded East Supreme Kai and his servant Kibito of something.
After all, they had contacted the Kami of Earth many times and roughly knew the inside story.
Piccolo is a genius. He can exert such strong Battle Power in an incomplete state. If he were to regain his complete body, he would probably be comparable to them!
