Sun Wumian pressed his advantage, diving down from the air and kicking his opponent square in the neck. Ginyu's head lolled to the side, and he passed out.
"Someone get him to the infirmary. If you don't, he'll die."
With that, he stepped off the ring.
Ginyu's power level maxed out at 360,000. There was no point dragging this out. Besides, it looked like he was about to use his Body Change technique.
Sun Wumian didn't want to let him use it. He'd tried checking in with Ginyu beforehand, but hadn't learned the technique.
"Don't you think you went a little too far? You've seriously injured two Ginyu Force fighters in a row. This is going to make it hard for me to explain things to Mr. Frost," Cabba said as he walked over.
"It's fine. Just tell him it was Miss Caulifla's idea."
"Huh? She told you to do this?"
"That's right. She doesn't like that Frost guy."
Why was Sun Wumian blaming all this on Caulifla? He wanted to see how strong she really was and whether she had the power to transform into a Super Saiyan. He could also use the chance to see if he could expose Frost's true colors.
Two birds with one stone. Perfect.
The second round of matches ended soon after. Sun Wumian, Cabba, the Mysterious Saiyan, and a mid-ranking warrior whose power level exceeded 500,000 advanced to the third round.
"Everyone, that concludes the exciting second round of matches. The third round will begin in ten minutes. And the King of Sadala will be joining us in person to watch!"
The moment the host finished speaking, the crowd erupted in cheers that shook the arena.
Oh? Would he finally get to see the Queen of Sadala's true face? Sun Wumian wondered, unable to hide his curiosity.
Once the roar of the crowd died down, the King of Sadala—
She had finally appeared.
Sun Wumian took a look. Huh, nothing particularly special about her. She wore a Battle Suit much like Cabba's, and her power seemed a little lower than his.
Wait, that face looked familiar. Where had he seen it before? What? A female... Vegeta? Holy crap!
He stood up for a closer look, eyes wide with shock, and nearly toppled over. Thankfully, he grabbed Cabba's shoulder before he fell. Th-this...
"What's wrong? You look pretty surprised to see our king."
"Huh?" Sun Wumian came back to his senses. He patted his chest, only just managing to calm down. The King of Sadala did look a little like Vegeta, but only about thirty percent. It wasn't that outrageous.
She was basically a combination of Caulifla and Vegeta. Uh, how to put it? Sun Wumian couldn't explain it himself; he could only imagine it.
"Cabba, your king doesn't seem to care much about this tournament. Is there something else going on?"
The King of Sadala had only shown herself briefly before disappearing, which was why he asked.
Cabba fell silent for a while before answering. "I'm not entirely sure. The king's tournament is normally held only once every thirty years, and people other than Saiyans aren't allowed to enter. This time, it seems to have something to do with Frost's proposal."
Sun Wumian understood. Frost had set his sights on Planet Sadala and planned to bring the Saiyans, a warrior race, under his control.
That wouldn't do. Sun Wumian had Saiyan blood in his veins, after all. More importantly, the Saiyans of Planet Sadala were a crucial part of his plan to increase his power.
But all the Ginyu Force members had been eliminated. Did Frost still have another card up his sleeve?
The third round began. This time, Sun Wumian's opponent was the Sadala Army Saiyan warrior whose power level had barely exceeded 500,000.
"Cabba told me you were strong, but you don't look like much to me. How could the universe's greatest army, the Sadala Army, let someone else's confidence rise while undermining its own?"
"Why don't you check your Scouter and see how strong I am?" Sun Wumian said. This time, he stopped holding back and raised his power to its maximum. His opponent had seen plenty of battles.
"Yaaah!"
"Three hundred thousand... four hundred thousand... five hundred thousand... Impossible... It's still rising... six... six hundred and sixty thousand?"
"Now, let's fight."
Sun Wumian flashed in front of his opponent and kicked out. To his surprise, the man reacted quickly, moving around behind him.
As expected of the Sadala Army, hardened by countless battles. He had some real skill.
Sun Wumian remained calm. Sensing his opponent's energy, he easily dodged the flurry of punches coming from behind, then counterattacked, swinging his fist over his shoulder toward the man behind him.
It landed squarely on his opponent's mouth, nearly knocking his teeth out.
"Oops, sorry, sorry. I didn't see where I was aiming and hit you in the mouth." Sun Wumian turned to look at his opponent, who was covering his mouth, and apologized.
"Damn you!" His opponent turned his hand into a claw and swiped at Sun Wumian's face, but caught nothing but air.
Sun Wumian caught his hand instead and followed up with a heavy kick.
"What's going on? The invincible Saiyan warrior is on the back foot?" The audience fell completely silent, stunned by Sun Wumian's strength.
So it really was true: if your power level was more than thirty percent higher than your opponent's, you could basically crush them with ease, Sun Wumian thought as he kept moving, beating the man one-sidedly.
"Galick Cannon!" He thrust both palms forward and unleashed Cabba's technique, firing a dazzling blast of energy at his opponent, who was airborne.
At this level, that attack alone was enough to knock his opponent out of the ring. There was no need for a Kamehameha.
"When did he learn my technique?" Cabba rushed from the waiting area to the edge of the ring, staring in utter shock.
By then, Sun Wumian's opponent had been blasted out of the arena.
"Haha, sorry. I borrowed your technique," Sun Wumian said with a grin, looking toward Cabba.
"Oh, no problem. It's my turn to fight now."
"Your opponent, that mysterious Saiyan, is strange. Be careful. I can sense how powerful he is," Sun Wumian warned Cabba.
"You mean Kabitz? He used to be one of the senior warriors in the Sadala Army. For some reason, he later became one of Frost's men."
Oh? So this was Frost's backup plan? On the surface, Kabitz's power level was also 500,000, the same as Cabba's. But Sun Wumian could sense energy, and he knew Kabitz was considerably stronger.
He wasn't mistaken. Cabba and Kabitz had already begun fighting in the ring.
Cabba was at a disadvantage from the start. Even after pushing his power level to 1,500,000, he still couldn't do anything to Kabitz.
His opponent was stronger, his power level surging all the way to 2,000,000.
"System, it's time to get to work."
[Beep! You checked in with Saiyan Kabitz. Check-in successful. Host's power level increased by 200,000.]
"Beep, beep, beep..." One thing about the system was annoying: it couldn't hide his power level while he was checking in. What a rip-off.
