Krillin is doomed to lose
"Goku, you're stronger than you were three years ago. My special moves are useless against you. King Piccolo is yours to deal with now." Tien Shinhan remained calm after losing the match. He had expected that he was no match for Goku, but the ease with which he was defeated was beyond his expectations.
Goku confidently declared, "I will definitely defeat Piccolo."
"Go for it!" Tien Shinhan patted Goku on the shoulder. The stronger Goku was against King Piccolo, the safer Earth would be.
After the Blonde Announcer announced Goku's victory, Goku and Tien Shinhan returned from the ring to the Martial Arts Temple's rest area to watch the next match. The second match in the semifinals was between Suno and Chiaotzu. The difference in strength between the two was quite large, and there was basically no suspense in this match.
With the host announcing the lineup for the second match, the competition was about to begin.
Tien Shinhan said to Chiaotzu, "Use your superpowers to the fullest. Suno's strength is extraordinary; ordinary martial arts are no threat to her at all."
"Don't worry, A-Tian, I know!" Chiaotzu nodded vigorously, her body floating into the side of the arena.
Tien Shinhan glanced at Chiaotzu with concern. Suno was a candidate for Kami. According to Kami, she would take over the position of Kami with Chi-Chi after the World Martial Arts Tournament. Chiaotzu's only advantage was his telekinetic ability to manipulate objects.
However, Suno has been training at Five Elements Mountain for years, and even Tien Shinhan himself doesn't know the specifics of his background.
"It's my turn."
With a bright smile, Suno, her hair fiery red, tossed her hair and vanished from the rest area, reappearing on the other side of the arena.
Wow, so fast!
Tien Shinhan looked surprised and began to worry about the Chiaotzu.
"The second match, between Suno and Chiaotzu, is now beginning."
As soon as the announcement was made, Suno and Chiaotzu immediately entered battle mode. In a flash, the two disappeared from the audience's sight. Even the high-speed cameras could only capture a few scattered afterimages. All that could be heard was the sound of fighting on the stage, with the stone slabs on the ground shaking and thumping as they were hit.
With a snap, the hard rock slab shattered, and several small pebbles were ejected under the immense force, then accelerated to their maximum speed, slicing through the air with a whooshing sound.
Captured by a high-speed camera, a series of swirling bursts of airflow continuously pierce through the air, creating a stunning visual effect.
"Such speed!"
"Miss Suno and contestant Chiaotzu were both top eight finishers in previous competitions; their strength is unfathomable!"
"I wonder how they train."
The audience members present had received several years of martial arts training, and the Capsule Corporation had compiled videos of previous World Martial Arts Tournament. Even the most ignorant person had watched similar battles through various channels. Therefore, they knew that the situation before them was due to the speed of the two sides exceeding the limits of the naked eye, and would not ignorantly think it was some kind of illusion.
In the Martial Arts Temple rest area, Goku and Tien Shinhan's auras were firmly locked onto Suno and Chiaotzu on the ring. For them, whose strength far surpassed that of ordinary Earthling, no movement in the arena escaped their notice.
"Suno's combat power has reached 3500, which is much higher than Chiaotzu's."
In the stands, Roland shook her head, watching the match with a look of regret.
If the strength difference is not too great, then there is still a possibility of fighting. But the problem is that Chiaotzu's combat power is only 1500, while Suno, who has a combat power difference of 3500, has a combat power difference of 2000, which puts him at an absolute disadvantage.
As expected, after the match had been going on for a while, Suno started to get serious, and even when Chiaotzu used her superpowers, she couldn't restrain Suno's movements.
As Suno moved closer to the Chiaotzu, the second match ended with Suno's victory.
"A boring match."
Piccolo stood on the roof of Martial Arts Temple, watching the match results with disdain, then crossed his legs and closed his eyes to rest. In his eyes, apart from Goku, who posed a threat to him, everyone else was just an ant that he could crush at will. After all, his years of hard training in the Demon Realm had not been in vain.
In the third match, Chi-Chi will face Tian Xing (Old Kami).
"Kami, this is the age of the young. You're too old for that, so don't cause any more trouble." Chi-Chi stood in front of the Old Kami, her clear and pleasant voice ringing out.
The Old Kami wasn't angry. He said gently, "You can't deny getting old. In the blink of an eye, the little girl from back then has grown up. I hope you and Suno can shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Earth. However, having been Kami for three hundred years, I still have much to teach you. To become Kami, you must first understand how to utilize the energy of nature..."
Chi-Chi's lips moved slightly. "Please enlighten me."
"Hehe, that's all I can teach you. Let me see what you've learned from Lord Anning!"
Ding!
A whirlwind swept through the venue, and the figure of the Old Kami disappeared first. Chi-Chi's beautiful eyes gazed in all directions, her pretty eyes following the Old Kami's movements, but she was in no hurry to launch an attack.
"Another high-quality battle! Ah, both Chi-Chi and Tian Xing have disappeared."
The Blonde Announcer, microphone in hand, shouted as if he were practically lying on the stone slab of the ring, completely unconcerned about being blown away by the fierce gust of wind.
Piccolo glanced at the match briefly, but upon seeing that the Old Kami only had a few hundred fighting power, he disdainfully closed his eyes again.
"This old man is a disgrace."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Piccolo's face. As the Demon King, he couldn't stand the Old Kami's pretentious act. He clearly couldn't win, so why act like he was relying on his age? It was simply shameful.
The third match lasted about ten minutes, mainly because Chi-Chi was giving the Old Kami face and didn't use her full strength. Otherwise, one strike would have been enough to knock her opponent out of the ring.
That's about it.
Chi-Chi kept dodging, analyzing the Old Kami's movements, and estimating that the Old Kami's stamina was almost exhausted. She felt it was time to end the match, so she increased the speed of her attacks.
The battle soon came to an end, and Chi-Chi emerged victorious.
"For the fourth match, Krillin has chosen his opponent, the Junior!"
"It's my turn." Krillin's expression hardened, and he took a deep breath as he walked towards the arena.
"Be careful!" Goku warned.
Krillin nodded. Just like in the main storyline, Krillin encountered Piccolo again, but unlike in the original work, the strength of both sides in the match had increased many times over.
"Go Krillin!" Bulma shouted from below the ring.
"No need to shout anymore, Krillin is doomed to lose." Roland crossed his arms and calmly watched the two players on the field.
Bulma glared at him. "Brother-in-law, how could you say that? No matter what, we should cheer Krillin on!"
Roland said, "To tell you the truth, not counting Piccolo's hidden strength, the energy he just revealed is over 8000 power level. How do you think he can win?"
"Wow, is there really such a big difference?!"
Bulma was dumbfounded. Having lived on Planet Sadala for a while, she knew what 8,000 power level meant. That was just her apparent strength; if she unleashed her full power, it might exceed 10,000 power level, and Krillin would be no match for her.
