He's Cheating

The gap in their battle power was enormous, and Kabitz and Cabba were about evenly matched in terms of combat sense.

So the fight didn't last long. Cabba soon lost, and he was badly injured.

"He really is stronger than me. Wumian, you must still have some hidden power, right? I'll leave the rest to you."

Cabba came up to Sun Wumian, holding his wound as he spoke.

"Let me tell you the truth. Frost is actually a demon who disrupts peace in the universe. He starts wars himself, then puts a stop to them, staging the whole thing to make a fortune. In this situation, he's probably set his sights on Planet Sadala."

Cabba was stunned at first and couldn't believe it. But he wasn't stupid. As he thought back on what Frost had done, he couldn't help believing it.

"Damn it! If what you're saying is true, I'll make him answer for it. How can we Saiyans, a warrior race, bow to anyone? You have to win! Cough..." GgDown8

Hmm, should I give him a Senzu Bean? He seems pretty badly hurt. Whatever, I'll give him one. That should help him get strong enough to turn Super Saiyan sooner.

Sun Wumian thought it over, then took a Senzu Bean from the System Space and handed it to Cabba. That left him with five Senzu Beans.

"This is a Senzu Bean. Eat it, and your injuries will heal instantly."

Cabba swallowed it. "This... It's incredible! I'm completely healed!"

A Senzu Bean... Right, I don't have any hidden power, but I do have my cheat—the Senzu Beans! Sun Wumian suddenly realized.

Then he calmly stepped into the ring.

"The final match is about to begin! Sun Wumian will face Kabitz. Who will win and earn the king's favor? Let's wait and see!"

At the host's signal, the match began.

Both fighters assumed their stances.

For their opening move, they threw straight punches at the same time.

"Ow, ow, ow..." The moment Sun Wumian's fist met his opponent's, he grimaced in pain and had to bend his arm and retreat with the force of the blow.

Kabitz pressed his advantage, rushing after him with a lightning-fast kick.

Sun Wumian reacted quickly enough. He deflected the blow with both hands, redirecting the force, then sidestepped and retreated.

"Can you do anything besides dodge? Are you afraid to fight me head-on?"

"Then come and get me." Sun Wumian went even further, using Master Roshi's Afterimage Technique. He wanted to provoke his opponent into badly injuring him. He already had a Senzu Bean ready.

"An annoying trick." Kabitz immediately spotted Sun Wumian's real position and unleashed a barrage of Ki Blasts.

"This is tough. An 860,000 battle power just can't compete with two million." Sun Wumian dodged as best he could, but still took plenty of hits.

Master Roshi had taught him to control his ki, and Mr. Popo had taught him to sense his opponent's ki and dodge attacks. But at most, these techniques could help Sun Wumian hold his own against a somewhat stronger opponent.

When the gap in strength was too great, there was nothing he could do.

One misstep could decide the whole match. Sun Wumian was now being thoroughly beaten.

"Big Sis, at this rate, he'll lose soon. He might even die!" Kale blurted out from the sidelines.

"Tch... What a useless guy. He can't even beat an opponent this pathetic. I don't care if he dies." Caulifla said that, but kept her eyes fixed on the ring.

Kabitz grabbed Sun Wumian with both hands and slammed him off the ring like a volleyball. He was completely buried beneath the rubble.

"Now it's my turn! System, Senzu Bean." The timing was perfect. No one had seen him eat it.

"I'll check whether Sun Wumian is still alive before announcing the result." The host walked toward the crater.

Suddenly, a figure shot out of the rubble, scaring the host so badly he fell on his rear.

"System, what's my maximum battle power now?" His Scouter had been smashed, so Sun Wumian had to ask the system.

"Host's maximum battle power has reached 2.2 million."

Was this the boost Saiyans got after nearly dying? Even cheating wasn't supposed to be this ridiculous.

"You... What happened?" Kabitz was stunned.

"Contestant, how did you recover in an instant? Did you use some kind of drug and violate the tournament rules?" the host asked as he approached.

Sun Wumian spread his hands innocently. "Did anyone see me use drugs or anything like that? Besides, what kind of medicine could be this miraculous? This is just an ability of mine. Is that not allowed?"

The host was at a loss for words. "Then let the match continue."

Sun Wumian cracked his knuckles. "Now it's my turn!"

First, he returned Kabitz's straight punch in kind, then kicked him flying.

He could use rapid-fire Ki Blasts, too. They struck his opponent in quick succession.

Sun Wumian chased after him, and the two exchanged blows in the air. Sun Wumian's battle power was only a little higher than his opponent's, and he had merely seized the initiative while Kabitz was caught off guard.

Once Kabitz recovered, the fight grew more and more intense. They battled from the air down to the ring, neither willing to give an inch.

"Hyah! Yah!"

At last, Kabitz couldn't hold back any longer. He planted himself on the left side of the ring and fired a massive energy wave at Sun Wumian.

"Ka... me... ha... me... ha!"

Sun Wumian fired a Kamehameha of his own. Striking after his opponent, he quickly overwhelmed Kabitz's attack.

"Argh!" Kabitz cried out as the Kamehameha struck him and knocked him out of the ring.

Luckily, Sun Wumian had deliberately controlled the direction of his Kamehameha, so it didn't hit the spectators behind them.

"What a spectacular match! Unbelievable! Sun Wumian went from being suppressed at the start to turning the tables and winning. He's incredible!"

He'd won, but that also meant trouble was coming. Sun Wumian wasn't happy at all. He hadn't wanted to win, but he couldn't afford to lose, either.

Now he'd have to face Frost and figure out how to deal with Queen of Sadala.

Sure enough, Frost flew down onto the ring, ready to demand an explanation. Caulifla and Cabba followed close behind and landed beside Sun Wumian.

Queen of Sadala had also appeared on the distant viewing platform.

"Well fought. First, congratulations on your victory. But you badly injured three of my warriors in a row. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?" Frost was the first to address Sun Wumian.

"Oh? What kind of explanation do you want?" Sun Wumian asked in return.

"You're strong. Join my Universal Peacekeeping Force, and we'll let this matter go."

"Don't be ridiculous. I'm not interested in disrupting peace in the universe."

"Then we'll have no choice but to stand against each other. I'll have to defeat you myself and avenge my useless subordinates." Frost sighed, looking as though he was in a difficult position.

"Hey, what did you mean when you said he disrupts peace in the universe?" Caulifla caught the implication in Sun Wumian's words.
