Turles would never have guessed that Raditz was already dreaming of turning the tables and surpassing him!
He was now completely immersed in his battle with Blue. This Namekian, whose strength matched his own, made every cell in Turles's body cheer with excitement.
Saiyans were born warriors. Even a soul from another world couldn't escape the influence of the instincts buried deep in its genes!
"Boom!!!"
Their fists collided again, and the terrifying shock wave tore through the clouds, bringing sunlight back to the world.
After the clash, the two retreated in perfect sync. They kept backing away until they had put some distance between them, then stopped and silently watched each other.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
Suddenly, Turles and Blue almost simultaneously assumed charging stances.
Turles once again took the Kamehameha stance, bending his knees and lowering his waist, with his hands drawn back to his side and his palms pressed together like a lotus;
Blue, meanwhile, sharply bent his right arm, bringing his index and middle fingers together like a sword. Tiny arcs of electricity crackled at his fingertips as he held them firmly against his broad forehead.
Energy began to gather in Turles's hands. The blue light illuminated his face, and an astonishing wave of energy radiated from the sphere in his palms.
Blue's green body sank slightly, every muscle taut. Violent energy surged out of him, becoming dazzling golden lightning that gradually gathered at his forehead, crackling with electricity.
Turles and Blue's energy continued to rise. The spectators were swept up in the atmosphere of the battle and held their breath, eyes fixed on the two fighters, afraid to miss a single detail.
"Kamehameha!"
"Special Beam Cannon!"
Turles and Blue roared as they simultaneously fired the fully charged energy spheres in their hands at each other!
For a moment, it seemed as if only two colors remained in the world.
On one side was an ocean of azure; on the other, a mountain of deep green. The two terrifying spheres of energy hurtled toward each other at incredible speed.
At last, the two blasts collided!
"BOOM!!!"
The planet seemed to shudder, and the entire world began to tremble. Lightning flashed in the sky, the earth split apart, and the seas rose into monstrous waves. Muhua Planet seemed to be facing the end of the world!
That was how the Dragon Ball World worked. Once a warrior's battle power exceeded 10,000, they could wreak tremendous destruction on a planet—not to mention that Turles and Blue had already surpassed 200,000.
The spectators panicked. If the two continued to push their energy against each other, Muhua Planet would likely be doomed to explode, and every living thing on it would perish.
"Turles, stop!" Raditz shouted at him anxiously.
"Blue, stop!" the Namekians shouted as well. One of them couldn't help trying to rush in and stop the two, but fortunately, his companions held him back.
A terrifying pressure surrounded both fighters. If anyone charged in recklessly, they would likely be torn to pieces in an instant.
"Hm? ×2"
Hearing everyone's shouts, Turles and Blue snapped out of their energy clash.
Noticing the damage their battle was doing to Muhua Planet, Turles and Blue exchanged a glance. They both saw a hint of embarrassment in the other's eyes, and felt a certain kinship.
But the urgent thing was to deal with the problem. They could control the energy output for now, but if they stopped, the two blasts would erupt at once. The resulting explosion might even injure them both!
Turles quickly thought of a solution and immediately signaled to Blue.
Blue understood at once and nodded.
Once they had agreed on a plan, the two began carefully controlling their energy output. They silently counted to three, then tightened their control over the blasts.
Under Turles and Blue's control, the two streams of energy gradually began to bend toward the sky.
That was right: Turles's idea was to direct the energy into space, so it wouldn't harm Muhua Planet.
Before long, the two blasts had turned 90 degrees under their control and shot straight up into space.
Turles's Kamehameha and Blue's Special Beam Cannon contained nearly all of their energy. The tremendous blasts tore through the air along their path, punching two enormous holes in Muhua Planet's atmosphere.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!"
After they stopped releasing energy, Turles and Blue were both panting. Evidently, that maneuver hadn't been easy for either of them.
Once everything had settled, Raditz and the Namekians looked up at the two holes overhead, then glanced at one another in silence.
"Th-this... is what happens when warriors with over 200,000 battle power fight?"
After a long silence, Raditz spoke in a hoarse voice, his feelings impossible to read.
Beru, who had just fought Raditz, looked shaken. After a moment's silence, he said with difficulty, "Maybe that still wasn't their full power!"
"How coul—"
Raditz was shocked and instinctively tried to argue, but after getting only a few words out, he fell silent.
He knew Turles still hadn't used his Great Ape Power transformation. Once transformed, his battle power would soar past two million. Raditz couldn't even imagine what that would look like.
Only now did Raditz begin to realize just how quickly Turles's strength had grown.
How long had it been? When the two had first met, Turles's battle power had been only 80,000. Now, less than a year later, his maximum battle power could exceed two million. What a terrifying increase!
And Turles wasn't the only one who had grown stronger. Paragus, Broly, and Raditz had all doubled their battle power. Raditz in particular had now reached nearly 10,000.
Raditz suddenly felt a little sorry for Paragus. With a Saiyan of such terrifying talent around, Paragus had actually dreamed of becoming King of the Saiyans. It was almost laughable!
Seeing Turles land, Raditz snapped out of his reverie. He immediately gave a respectful little bow, then looked at Turles with admiration.
Turles felt a little creeped out by Raditz's strange gaze. "Raditz, what's wrong with you? Getting frisky? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Uh!" Raditz had been about to flatter him, but Turles's words left him speechless. He shot Turles a resentful look, then shut his mouth.
Blue and his people had also walked over to Turles. Turles said sincerely, "Sorry. I got carried away and caused trouble for your planet."
"It's fine! I did the same, didn't I? Anyway, Turles, you're incredibly strong. Let's have another spar sometime!"
Blue didn't mind at all. Instead, he invited Turles to fight again.
Turles naturally accepted Blue's challenge with a smile.
After this battle, Turles's standing among the Namekians rose rapidly. His relationship with Blue in particular even made Dero a little jealous.
After staying on Muhua Planet for another day, Turles had to leave with Raditz and Dero.
After saying goodbye to the elder and Blue's group, the three boarded the Hyperspace Spaceship and set off for Earth!
