The representative for Universe 7 remains Son Gohan, whose injuries have already been healed by Whis using his staff.
At this moment, the referee returns to the center of the ring and announces loudly, "The contestants' rest period has ended. Will all participants please take the stage."
And so, encouraged by everyone, Son Gohan returns to the ring to begin the second battle.
As Son Gohan flies onto the ring, he observes the situation on the Universe 6 spectator stand, suddenly noticing that the person flying down from the opposite side is none other than the female Saiyan, Kale.
At this moment, he recalls the words Ye Ming had cautioned him with: "Kale's Legendary Super Saiyan form was only fully mastered after training under a deity; otherwise, in her state of loss of control, she would be unable to distinguish friend from foe."
"The Legendary Saiyan grows stronger throughout the battle. As you grow stronger, she will grow stronger alongside you. The bloodline of the Legendary Super Saiyan is indeed terrifying, but it is not invincible. You can launch a counterattack by targeting the openings in her strikes; do not engage her in a direct head-on collision."
Turning his attention back, Son Gohan looks at the Legendary Super Saiyan Kale with great solemnity; her strength is certainly not on the same level as Caulifla's.
By now, both contestants have landed on the ring, but Son Gohan notices that Kale seems to be looking at him with an expression of fury.
Kale says to Son Gohan, "You hurt my sister, and I will make you pay the price."
Hearing this, Son Gohan feels utterly speechless. Was he supposed to just stand there and let her hit him?
Son Gohan says earnestly, "I apologize; my strike was a bit heavy, but we are all fighting for our respective universes, so sustaining injuries during the battle is to be expected."
But Kale refuses to listen; she only has eyes for her sister. She replies, "Come on, I will teach you a lesson and avenge my sister."
As they speak, Kale and Son Gohan distance themselves from each other, both immediately entering their combat stances.
Suddenly, the ring begins to tremble—no, it could be said that the entire Nameless Planet is shaking.
Kale's gaze gradually turns fierce, and her hair begins to shift into a shade of green. This is indeed the once-in-a-millennium Legendary Super Saiyan.
Kale's aura is rising continuously, spreading even to the surrounding planets. With a roar, a massive amount of energy erupts from her body, and a dazzling beam of light shoots into the sky.
Gohan watches as Kale's muscles bulge, her eyes shift into a blank, pupil-less mode, and green energy surges around her, accompanied by crackling lightning.
On the Universe 7 stand, Son Goku and Vegeta are both stunned. Seeing such a powerful Kale, they immediately feel immense worry for Gohan; this power is truly too overwhelming, perhaps even capable of trading blows with Beerus and Ye Ming.
Beerus also drops his laid-back demeanor, squinting as he sizes up Kale. "So this is the Legendary Super Saiyan. She certainly has some tricks up her sleeve! This God can feel her power constantly increasing with no apparent upper limit."
Whis strokes his chin and says, "This Legendary Super Saiyan form is truly formidable. She should have lost control, yet Kale utilizes it perfectly. It must be thanks to my sister's guidance."
Ye Ming nods as well. He already knew the terrifying nature of the Legendary Super Saiyan—whether in terms of bloodline, potential, or the sheer magnitude of power gained after transformation, it is far superior to a standard Super Saiyan!
Ye Ming asks the system, "System, can I possess the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline?"
The system replies, "Host, theoretically, it is possible. In the course of future battles, I will issue a series of missions, some of which will include the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline, but that is a matter for the future, Host."
Hearing the system's words, Ye Ming smiles happily. Since there is a chance to obtain it, all that is lacking is time! Besides, the potential of this current body is quite good as well.
After all, when Ye Ming watched Dragon Ball in his original world, he had always hoped to possess the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline, as this bloodline is truly too powerful!
Back on the battlefield, Son Gohan is shocked to see Kale complete her transformation; he had not expected this power to be so terrifying.
Without a moment to lose, he immediately reveals his Super Saiyan Blue form. Son Gohan prepares to test the waters first to gauge Kale's attack patterns and defensive capabilities.
Son Gohan immediately lunges at Kale, and the battle breaks out instantly. Kale clearly tracks the trajectory of Son Gohan's attack and immediately flashes toward him to strike back.
Gohan flashes behind Kale and kicks her in the head, but Kale acts as if nothing happened, slowly turning her head as if taunting Son Gohan.
Son Gohan's pupils shrink: that kick just now used 100% of his power, yet he couldn't even make her budge.
He suddenly creates distance between himself and Kale, but Kale won't let him have his way. She instantly grabs Son Gohan's leg, slams him onto the ring, and fires an energy blast at him, filling the arena with smoke and dust.
Having taken the hit, Son Gohan immediately retreats, clutching his chest in pain as he says, "That was a heavy blow indeed!"
Son Gohan looks at the composed Kale opposite him with a solemn expression, searching for a way to break her defense.
Yet, no matter how hard he racks his brain, he cannot find any openings; Kale seems to possess infinite power from head to toe, and he cannot shake her.
Suddenly, Son Gohan flies into the air, intending to use his aerial advantage to fire a Kamehameha at Kale.
Kale instantly realizes Son Gohan's intent and charges into the sky, her speed so great that even Son Gohan cannot react in time.
She immediately grabs Son Gohan by the head and slams him violently toward the ring. With a loud bang and a cloud of dust, Son Gohan is smashed hard into the ground, and Kale begins raining down punch after punch upon him.
On the Universe 6 stand, Champa dances with excitement, waving his fists as he shouts, "Well done, Kale! Beat Son Gohan to a pulp!"
Caulifla watches her sister on the ring with great gratification; once upon a time, that crybaby sister of hers has now become a powerful Saiyan warrior.
Son Gohan lets out a painful howl as Kale's heavy fists strike his body, causing him immense agony.
From the Universe 7 stand, Beerus says anxiously, "Gohan, hurry and bring out your true strength! Don't just dance around her."
Hearing this, Son Gohan knows this is not an opponent against whom he can hide his power. He breaks free from Kale's assault and instantly transforms into Super Saiyan Blue Evolved, a powerful aura erupting from his body.
Yet, Son Gohan still looks at Kale with a heavy heart; a sense of powerlessness begins to well up within him.
Even after using the Super Saiyan Blue Evolved form, he feels he is no match for Kale. It is a pressure he has not felt in many years.
Son Goku, Vegeta, and Ye Ming are also deeply solemn. Vegeta says, "The Legendary Super Saiyan is indeed troublesome. Even though they are usually confident in their own strength, they can feel the immense pressure now."
Ye Ming says calmly, "In this form, Kale's speed, defense, and power have all increased significantly. Her Legendary Super Saiyan state has already reached the second stage."
Although Kale is incredibly powerful right now, Ye Ming has full confidence that he could defeat her; it is a confidence in his own strength.
Goku is also contemplating what method he should use to defeat Kale if he were the one facing her.
Son Goku estimates that with his Super Saiyan Blue Evolved form, stacking a 30-fold Kaioken is not his limit, but if he were to use a higher multiplier, his stamina and body might not be able to hold up.
At this moment, Vegeta says to Son Goku, "If Son Gohan is defeated, I will go next. I have already initially mastered Hakai Energy. Even at the risk of being severely injured, I will destroy Kale's limbs, which would effectively neutralize her and prevent her from continuing to compete."
Hearing Vegeta's ruthless words, Son Goku swallowed hard. Beside him, Beerus chimed in, "Vegeta, you can cripple her, but you cannot kill her. Otherwise, you will violate the tournament rules."
Whis also nodded, saying, "That seems acceptable, though it is perhaps a bit too cruel. However, I shall leave the final decision entirely to Vegeta."
Ye Ming wanted to step into the ring himself, but the fact that the fourth opponent had yet to appear made him deeply uneasy. He feared that this individual was lurking in the shadows, studying his combat style and strength.
As it turned out, Ye Ming's suspicions were correct. AF Son Goku was indeed observing him and his teammates from the shadows, though his presence was being masked by Vados using special means, rendering him undetectable to Ye Ming.
AF Son Goku was scrutinizing Ye Ming closely, finding his strength to be unfathomable—a truly formidable opponent.
Just then, sensing he was being watched, Ye Ming whipped his head around to stare into the distant void. Although there was nothing to be seen, he had distinctly felt the sensation of being observed.
Whis, Beerus, and the others noticed Ye Ming's sudden shift in demeanor and asked, "Ye Ming, what is wrong?"
Ye Ming replied with a solemn expression, "I sense someone watching me. They are hiding with incredible skill, making it impossible for me to detect their presence. Furthermore, their strength is immense—perhaps not inferior to my own."
Beerus and Whis were both taken aback by this revelation. Whis stood up and scanned the void, but finding nothing, he said to Ye Ming, "It is likely the fourth contestant from Universe 6. They have chosen to observe us from the shadows. If even you believe their strength rivals yours, it seems this battle will be perilous indeed."
At this moment, Vegeta and Son Goku grew tense; this tournament might not be as simple as they had imagined.
Ye Ming continued, "Do not panic. Their strength should still be within my ability to handle; otherwise, I would not have detected them. It was only because they were observing me too intensely that I managed to catch a trace of their energy."
Beerus let out a long sigh of relief. He had been terrified a moment ago, but Ye Ming's words acted as a calming sedative.
Indeed, there had been a pair of eyes staring at them from the void Ye Ming had just scanned—AF Son Goku. However, the moment Ye Ming turned, he had vanished instantly, leaving not a shred of energy behind. His reaction time was nothing short of remarkable.
AF Son Goku stood behind a layer of asteroids, smiling to himself. "It seems this battle won't be boring after all. That fellow named Ye Ming is truly impressive! If I hadn't reacted so quickly, I would have been discovered."
He also caught sight of the Son Goku and Vegeta of this timeline, along with his son Gohan. Although their current strength was far inferior to his own, he was happy to see his past self and his companions.
Back on the arena floor, Son Gohan remained on the defensive, taking a beating. He had exhausted every tactic, yet he still could not defeat Kale.
Son Gohan's face was etched with frustration. His injuries were severe; had he fully mastered his Mystic Form before arriving, the outcome might have been different—at the very least, he would not have been beaten so badly.
Refusing to concede so easily, Son Gohan stood up and began to condense his energy, gathering every ounce of his power.
The Nameless Planet and the surrounding celestial bodies began to tremble violently as his energy continued to expand.
In the Universe 6 stands, Champa watched Son Gohan gathering such immense power and grew worried for Kale. He looked toward Vados.
Vados remained calm and composed, offering Champa a reassuring look, which caused him to grin.
Seeing that Son Gohan had finished gathering his energy, he unleashed the full force of his power toward Kale. With a roar, Son Gohan poured out every bit of his energy, leaving nothing behind.
The blast struck Kale directly. Even Beerus, watching from the stands, couldn't help but cheer, while Vegeta and Son Goku's eyes lit up, seeing a glimmer of hope for victory.
As the dust settled, it was clear the attack had caused significant damage to Kale. However, her energy began to erupt, and the green aura around her grew increasingly intense. It seemed that the added pain was only making her stronger!
Seeing this, Son Gohan knew he had truly lost. Kale, having finished powering up, slammed a fist into Son Gohan's face. With no energy left, he was quickly knocked out of the ring.
The referee appeared: "Congratulations to Kale of Universe 6 for winning the second match. Let us take a short break before the third match begins."
Son Gohan was carried to the stands by Goku and Vegeta. He opened his eyes groggily and muttered, "I'm sorry, I lost. It's a real pity."
Beerus smiled and said, "You've already won us one victory; you've done well enough. You were simply outmatched by this Kale. Leave the rest to Vegeta and Son Goku."
Whis immediately healed Son Gohan, but even after the treatment, Son Gohan felt lingering pain as he stood up. It seemed he had pushed his body far beyond its limits.
In the Universe 6 stands, Champa was gloating, taking the opportunity to taunt Beerus now that they had evened the score.
Ye Ming comforted Son Gohan, his resolve hardening. He would secure the final victory, no matter who stood in his way!
