An Intruder?

Saying that Ranfan and Bulma look alike was just a joke by Roland. No matter how outrageous Bulma is, she wouldn't go so far as to take off her clothes in front of so many people. Although she was indeed taken advantage of quite a few times in the original work, none of that has happened now.

On the stage, Krillin had no way to stop Ranfan's attacks and could only rely on his agility to passively dodge.

Ranfan's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness. Using her physical advantage to interfere with the opponent's judgment was a trick that had never failed her.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ranfan kept closing the distance between himself and Krillin, seizing every opportunity to attack him. The contestants who made it to the top eight were all quite strong. Although Ranfan's strength couldn't compare to that of Goku and the others, he was still considered a formidable fighter among Earthling.

After a series of attacks, Krillin was in a sorry state, with several bruises all over his body.

"Kid, I hate kids the most! Just jump down and admit defeat!" Ranfan clenched her fists, a hint of annoyance flashing across her face.

"No... I won't give up." Krillin lowered his head, too embarrassed to look at Ranfan.

"Hmph." Ranfan snorted unhappily, deciding to unleash her strongest attack.

Master Roshi, wearing sunglasses, watched Ranfan's movements from below the stage. Sensing something was wrong, he warned, "Close your eyes and don't look at his body. Don't have too many distracting thoughts. Just throw your fist like you do during training."

"Ah, I understand!"

Krillin shuddered at Master Roshi's sudden reminder and immediately closed his eyes.

Sure enough, after darkness enveloped the surroundings, his previously restless heart calmed down. He listened to the sounds around him and felt the movement of the air on his skin. Just then, Krillin frowned. He heard the sound of a fist cutting through the air, his body suddenly froze, and he reacted abruptly.

Krillin took a half-step back with one foot, his body slightly lowered, and his right hand opened into a palm and was brought to his waist. Just as Ranfan's attack was within reach, his body suddenly twisted, and several pieces of gravel suddenly flew up from the ground. A force burst out from his waist.

Whoosh!

With a single palm strike, a soft contact was made, and immense force spread out like water, instantly reaching the opponent's entire body.

"Ouch..." Ranfan cried out, feeling a tingling sensation all over her body as if she had been electrocuted. Then, her body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing into the wall of the Martial Arts Arena on the other side of the arena with a thud.

Upon seeing this, the Blonde Announcer rushed over to check on Ranfan, only to find that she had already fainted.

According to the competition rules, the Blonde Announcer started counting down the seconds while looking at his watch. Ten seconds later, he loudly announced that Krillin had defeated Ranfan and qualified for the semi-finals.

As the result of the match was announced, a burst of enthusiastic cheers immediately erupted from the crowd. These spectators didn't understand the complexities of the game, but seeing others cheer, they couldn't help but join in the jubilation. Humans have always been a race that follows the crowd.

"Great! Krillin, you've made it to the semifinals too!" Goku exclaimed happily.

Krillin wiped away a cold sweat, a wave of fear washing over him. "That was close! If Master Roshi hadn't reminded me, I might have already lost."

However, Krillin was already quite satisfied with reaching the semi-finals.

Next up is the third match of the quarterfinals, featuring the Dinosaur-man Giran and the successor of the Kami, Chi-Chi. This was a match with little suspense. When Dinosaur-man first entered the arena Giran, he was quite proud, boasting about how powerful his Sticky Gum was. However, he surprised everyone during the actual match.

Chi-Chi simply used an Afterimage Technique, and while Giran was stunned, she appeared behind him like a ghost and lightly struck out with her palm, knocking Giran off the stage.

The entire movement was fluid and seamless, without the slightest hesitation, so much so that people were momentarily taken aback.

"Giran has fallen out of bounds; Miss Chi-Chi wins."

Another gasp rang out from the crowd. Everyone was in disbelief as the tall, imposing Dinosaur-man- like Giran lost the match. They couldn't believe that a girl who looked like she was only a teenager could be so powerful.

Next up is the fourth match of the World Martial Arts Tournament, between Launch and Suno.

Compared to the previous matches, the battle between Launch and Suno was of a higher level. Their fight was so intense that it was overwhelming, with various Ki Blast constantly being released. Even Master Roshi, watching from below, couldn't help but break out in a sweat.

"Boring!"

Sephiria yawned in boredom. The matches at the level of Earthling were simply not worth her attention. Even though Launch and Suno's skills were superior to those of ordinary Earthling, they were full of flaws in her eyes. If she had known that the World Martial Arts Tournament so boring, she would have preferred to stay on Planet Sadala for training.

"Let's watch a little longer; there aren't many games left."

Roland smiled at Sephiria. To be honest, he also found the match rather boring. In the eyes of experts like them, such a trivial scene was like a child's game, and they would lose interest after watching it for a few moments.

In reality, the current World Martial Arts Tournament no longer worthy of its name. With only 140 participants, only the seven matches in the quarterfinals truly showcased their strength to the audience. In terms of both scale and quality, it has nothing to do with being the "world's best."

If it weren't for Goku and others participating, the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament have been a stage for a group of "outsiders".

"Forget it, there are only four matches anyway. I won't waste time watching such low-level matches again." Sephiria looked like she was wasting her time.

At this moment, Roland said, "Why don't we hold a real, large-scale martial arts competition after we return to Planet Sadala? We can let all the warriors of the Sephiria Force participate, and the winners can receive generous rewards. It would also serve as an incentive for all the warriors."

"This is an interesting idea; we could work on it." Sephiria looked up with interest.

"That's settled then. The specific rules will be formulated in detail later."

Roland settled the matter in a few words. For them, deciding on something only required issuing an order, and the follow-up matters would naturally be handled by others. Martial arts competitions actually play an excellent role in selecting and strengthening the warriors within their forces, and with the substantial rewards, many people would likely be interested.

The battle on the arena was in full swing. Launch and Suno were evenly matched in strength, but Launch was slightly stronger overall.

Because the skill gap is small, the battle between the two will continue for a long time.

Just then, the Communicator in Roland's arms kept beeping. He took it out and saw that it was a communication from the Planet Sadala. What could it be? Roland connected the Communicator and made a call. After a while, Roland frowned slightly.

"What happened?" Sephiria asked.

"A group of spacecraft has been detected moving towards the outer edge of Planet Sadala. They appear to be ships recently sold by Planet Vine Teng. Headquarters sensed something was amiss and began monitoring them. Unexpectedly, they detected a very strange and seemingly quite strong force."

"Someone has invaded the Planet Sadala?" Sephiria reacted immediately.

"That's roughly what happened. It seems the World Martial Arts Tournament n't stand by and watch any longer."

"I'm tired of watching anymore, let's go back." Sephiria's dark eyes gleamed.

In this day and age, who would dare to invade the headquarters of the Sephiria Force? Is it ignorance and recklessness, or do they truly possess formidable power and are incredibly audacious?

P. S.: Just got back from a dinner party, so I didn't have time to update today. I owe you a chapter, but I'll make up for it later.
