As the defense continued, Tien Shinhan realized that he had deflected most of Nail's power, but there was still some power that he couldn't deflect.

This force penetrated deep into his body, causing secondary damage.

We must find a way to break this deadlock; if we drag this out any longer, he might not even have the chance to unleash his full potential.

Just as Tien Shinhan was distracted, Nail seized upon his weakness.

"You were careless!" Nail's cold voice rang out.

The next second Nail vanished from the spot in a blur.

"Oh no!" Tien Shinhan's pupils contracted sharply as he saw Nail disappear.

Then his body reacted dangerously, and he instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late.

'Bang!!!' Nail's powerful blow struck Tien Shinhan squarely in the back, instantly knocking Tien Shinhan down.

Tien Shinhan, who was falling towards the ground, quickly turned around to dissipate the remaining force of the impact and finally landed smoothly in the center of the ring.

Before he could even catch his breath, Nail launched an even more ferocious attack.

Having seized the initiative in the battle, Nail gave Tien Shinhan no chance to catch his breath, unleashing all his power, his hands gleaming with golden light.

"Haaaaaah!!!" Nail shouted, then his hands moved rapidly, and countless Energy Blast shot out from his palms.

The dense energy attacks, like a torrential downpour of pear blossoms, formed an impenetrable Net of Heaven and Earth, bombarding Tien Shinhan relentlessly, leaving him nowhere to hide.

"Come on, let's fight to our hearts' content!" Tien Shinhan's fighting spirit was ignited, Nail's fierce fighting style completely awakened the warlike genes within him.

He was in a state of extreme excitement, with powerful energy flowing through his body. As Tien Shinhan pushed his hands forward, this energy transformed into layers of protective barriers, completely enveloping his body.

'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ...' The continuous roar of the explosions echoed through the sky.

A blazing fire shot into the sky, and a powerful energy explosion shockwave swept in all directions, filling most of the Invisible Barrier.

Nail's energy bombardment continued; he knew that victory or defeat hinged on this moment! As long as he kept outputting energy, he would eventually break through Tien Shinhan's defenses. It all came down to who had the greater endurance.

"Haaah!!!" Nail shouted, intensifying his energy bombardment even further.

Dense Energy Blast rained down like raindrops, relentlessly attacking Tien Shinhan.

Tien Shinhan, who was solely focused on defense, felt immense pressure at this moment, and his strong body was covered with beads of sweat.

'Click! Click!'

The protective barrier he had created with all his might had reached its critical point; if it continued to be bombarded with energy, it would collapse sooner or later! This was the first time Tien Shinhan had felt such immense pressure since reaching this level.

Nail's power caused the blood of the Three-Eyed People within his body to boil and burn, allowing him to forget himself and sweep away all fatigue.

"Kaio-ken!!!" Tien Shinhan soaring, suddenly roared, and an incredibly terrifying aura burst forth from his body.

A crimson aura surged into the sky, its powerful impact rapidly expanding, instantly dispelling the smoke from the explosion and neutralizing all the remaining Energy Blast in the space.

"What?!" Seeing the situation was bad, Nail instinctively raised his hands to protect himself and resist the impact of this terrifying aura.

However, the impact of this aura was far stronger than he had imagined, and it almost knocked him to the ground.

When the storm subsided, Nail finally saw that Tien Shinhan in the center of the arena was shrouded in a blood-red aura, and his power was beyond imagination.

With the Kaio-ken, Tien Shinhan's Battle Power directly broke through the 100 Million Unit, reaching a full 160 million points.

In terms of Battle Power alone, he is even stronger than Son Goku's Super Saiyan 1 normal state!

"Amazing... Is this your true power? This Kaio-ken is truly eye-opening." Nail gasped, his face filled with disbelief.

At this moment, Tien Shinhan's aura was terrifyingly strong, giving him an overwhelming feeling of being unable to resist it.

Nail was utterly astonished, Tien Shinhan suddenly teleported to appear in front of him on the stage.

"So fast!!" Nail was quite startled by this scene and instinctively threw a punch.

'Thud!'

His iron fist was easily blocked by Tien Shinhan with a simple gesture, and all the impact was skillfully neutralized.

The attack was easily blocked, Nail's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to pull back his fist to launch a counterattack, he found that he could not pull his fist back at all. Tien Shinhan's grip strength was unimaginable.

Even with all his might, he couldn't break free from the restraints! "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've used the Kaio-ken in actual combat. I'm sorry, Nail!" As soon as he finished speaking, Tien Shinhan's other hand struck out forcefully, slamming into Nail's abdomen.

A deafening thud as a fist pierced flesh exploded, and a powerful gust of wind swept through Nail's body.

The power of that punch was terrifying.

Even though Tien Shinhan deliberately withdrew most of his power, the impact on Nail was still enormous.

The blow to Nail contorted his features, spitting out a jet of blood. His body stiffened, and he was temporarily unable to move.

That wasn't all. Tien Shinhan seized the opportunity and sent Nail flying with another whip kick. He then used his Super High-Speed Movement to catch up with the flying Nail, interlocked his fingers, and transformed them into a giant warhammer, which he slammed down.

With a deafening 'Boom!', this terrifying blow even caused ripples in the space around it.

The Destructive Strike Nail crashed onto the Martial Arts Arena like a meteorite, creating a crater several meters wide. He convulsed in the center of the crater and could no longer get up.

At this moment, the outcome has been decided.

The difference in strength is self-evident. Even with the Kaio-ken, Super Saiyan 1 Son Goku couldn't gain the upper hand against Tien Shinhan.

After knocking Nail back into the ring, Tien Shinhan slowly descended from the sky, landing on the edge of the deep pit.

He looked down at Nail, who had completely lost his ability to fight, with the air of a victor.

At this moment, Nail was still struggling with all his might. He wanted to continue fighting, but unfortunately, he was unable to move.

Tien Shinhan watched silently, remaining calm, and then gave a wink to the Blonde Referee not far away.

Seeing this, the Blonde Referee finally came to his senses, climbed onto the ring, and walked to the edge of the pit to begin the countdown.

Within ten counts, Nail still hadn't stood up.

"The winner of the fourth quarterfinal match is Tien Shinhan!" The Blonde Referee announced the winner directly: Tien Shinhan!

At the same time, a burst of enthusiastic applause and shouts erupted from the audience, seemingly celebrating Tien Shinhan's victory.

Those who have been following Tien Shinhan the last World Martial Arts Tournament are especially impressed by the power he unleashed and have become his core fans.

Even Tien Shinhan himself didn't expect that his extraordinary Battle Power, displayed during this intense match, would directly win him a huge number of female fans.

Just then, Nail, who was in the deep pit, recovered and slowly got up, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Tien Shinhan's two consecutive heavy blows landed on his weak points. Although they did not cause fatal injuries, they left him unable to recover.

The two looked at each other again, and both showed appreciative smiles.

"You are really strong, I admit defeat, but you won this time, I will win next time!" Nail said to Tien Shinhan.

"Alright, I'm also looking forward to our next encounter." Tien Shinhan extended his right hand in a very friendly manner.

Seeing this, Nail also raised his hand and shook hands. The two powerful individuals, whose strength was close to a hundred million units, reached an agreement at this moment.

Next time, let's fight again!...

After Tien Shinhan and Nail's fierce battle ended, the two returned to the backstage area.

When the crowd saw the two return, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, with various words of praise ringing out.

Although it was a great pity that Nail was eliminated, Tien Shinhan's powerful Battle Power really shocked them.

No one expected that Tien Shinhan was so well hidden.

Besides the Kaio-ken, his own Battle Power has also reached such a high level.

"Don't be discouraged, you'll have plenty of opportunities to fight again in the future." Lagar patted Nail the shoulder, offering words of comfort before walking outside.

Next, it was his turn to compete.

In a way, his opponent was also unlucky; he was just an ordinary Earthling, yet he had to face the strongest Namekian at the moment.

With the Blonde Referee's decision, the contestants in both rest areas began to walk towards the Martial Arts Arena.

Lagar's opponent was a Martial Artist named Tiger.

The atmosphere was incredibly heavy the moment the two met.

Before the game even started, Tiger was already so nervous that he was drenched in sweat.

Lagar's skin color is exactly the same as Piccolo and Nail's, making it hard not to guess their relationship. After watching the previous matches, he has a deep understanding of the gap in strength between them.

Even so, standing on the ring, he would not back down. Even knowing it was a battle he could not win, he would fight to the very last moment.

Lagar remained calm, waiting for the Blonde Referee to announce the start of the match. To him, this match was no big deal.

"The fifth quarterfinal match will be between Fighter Tiger and fighter Lagar. Now, the match begins!" The Blonde Referee gave the order, and the match officially started.

Almost instantly after he finished speaking, Tiger charged towards Lagar at full speed, launching an all-out attack and relentlessly suppressing Lagar.

Facing Tiger's all-out attack, Lagar was naturally unconcerned and was able to dodge it all with sheer instinct.

Compared to him, the strongest Namekian, Tiger, an ordinary Martial Artist, seemed rather insignificant.

After dodging Tiger's attacks more than ten times, Lagar shook his head slightly, preparing to end the match with one move.

Actually, it's already a sign of respect that Tiger dared to fight him; otherwise, he would have been instantly defeated.

At this moment, Tiger was exhausted and out of breath from launching continuous attacks.

His eyelids twitched wildly, and he was extremely unwilling to accept it.

In his opinion, even if he was eliminated, at least he would get to meet Lagar!

Otherwise, being eliminated like this would be too humiliating! But when he saw Lagar move and raise a hand towards him, Tiger suddenly froze.

A loud 'BOOM!' was heard.

Lagar casually released a burst of energy.

Tiger, struck hard, flew backward like a kite with a broken string, and landed off the stage in the blink of an eye, eliminated from the competition.

Tiger, who was eliminated, looked bewildered and trembled all over.

The gap between worlds can only be truly understood after experiencing it firsthand.

These Martial Artist are nothing but a boring joke in front of true Martial Artist masters.

He never practiced boxing again.

"The winner of the fifth quarterfinal match is player Lagar!" the Blonde Referee announced.

Despite winning the match, Lagar felt no joy.

He turned around and walked towards the backstage rest area.

However, just before entering the rest area, he met Vegeta, and their eyes met.

Although it was only for a fleeting moment, Lagar still sensed that Vegeta's burning fighting spirit was directed at him! Lagar had already sensed Vegeta's desire to fight him.

He was also looking forward to seeing if he could meet Vegeta in the next round of the competition. He wanted to see just how powerful the so-called Super Saiyan power really was!

With Vegeta stepping onto the Martial Arts Arena, the sixth quarterfinal match is about to begin.

Vegeta's rival, Dinosaur Superman...

It has to be said that this guy is really unfortunate to be Vegeta's opponent.

Among all Earth warriors, Vegeta is the kind of person who is ruthless and doesn't talk much.

As the Blonde Referee declared the match open, Vegeta immediately struck, unleashing an invisible aura that sent Dinosaur Superman crashing off the Martial Arts Arena.

Instant kill!

The outcome of the match was decided in less than a second.

This scene was so unexpected that even the Blonde Referee couldn't figure it out.

At least release some seawater.

At least Lagar would symbolically exchange a couple of blows with his opponent, but Vegeta simply annihilated him in one fell swoop...

After finishing the match, Vegeta turned around indifferently and walked arrogantly towards the backstage rest area, without even needing the referee to announce the result.

"The winner of the sixth quarterfinal match is Vegeta!" The Blonde Referee shook his head helplessly and quickly announced that Vegeta was the winner of the match.

The people in the rest area were not surprised by this outcome after seeing Vegeta return.

The ruthless Vegeta was not as easy to talk to as they were; he defeated his opponent in a single exchange, which was to be expected.

Soon, the seventh quarterfinal match began, featuring Fighter Lag against Martial Artist Zaki! The battle between two ordinary Earthling was not particularly entertaining; it was just a simple physical duel.

After being used to the incomprehensible battles just now, the spectators in the stands found this ordinary match rather boring and couldn't muster any enthusiasm.
