Son Wukong suddenly punched Evil Son Goku in the face, making him stagger.
Evil Son Goku quickly regained his balance after taking the hit. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his grin widened.
"Now that was a great punch. This game is finally getting interesting!"
"Now it's my turn!!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Evil Son Goku threw a straight punch at Son Wukong, who stood before him.
Son Wukong looked almost exactly like Evil Son Goku, except that she was only the size of an elementary school student. She vanished in an instant and appeared behind him, launching a counterattack.
But the kick she thrust forward missed too. Though Evil Son Goku had a much larger, fully grown body, he was no slower. He, too, vanished from in front of Son Wukong. His extreme height made her eyes narrow.
Son Wukong tilted her head to the left, dodging her opponent's counter-counterattack, and launched another attack of her own at the same time.
"Smack!!" At last, the two landed their first blows against each other.
As the battle between Son Wukong and Evil Son Goku intensified, the fighting spread over a wider area. They were no longer confined to a single street corner. To get a better view, Zhang Wutian, Krillin, and Tien Shinhan floated into the air.
"Right now, they seem evenly matched. It's hard to believe that such a tiny body could hold power nearly equal to that monster's. My old companion Yamcha couldn't even take one punch from him. The blow broke his arm outright," Krillin said as he watched the fight.
"That's thanks to your training. You have that kind of power now, too," Tien Shinhan said.
Watching the two fight, Zhang Wutian furrowed his brow and disagreed. "Evenly matched? No."
"By fighting power alone, Wukong is actually stronger. After all, she trained with us under four times gravity. But she's the one at a disadvantage."
The battle gradually reached a fever pitch. Son Wukong and Evil Son Goku both began to abandon defense and focus on attacking, so their blows started landing more often.
It looked like an even match. Their strength seemed nearly equal, and both appeared able to land effective hits. But Zhang Wutian could see that something was off.
"You mean... their attack range?" Tien Shinhan had noticed something, too.
As they spoke, Son Wukong and Evil Son Goku struck each other at the same time. Evil Son Goku's fist hit Son Wukong squarely in the body, but her kick only barely reached him, doing no more than rip a gash in his ragged clothes.
Clutching her abdomen, Son Wukong dropped to the ground, having taken some damage. When she looked up, an attack from the front was already bearing down on her.
"Hahaha!! Is that all you've got? Die!!"
Son Wukong had already steeled herself to take Evil Son Goku's full-powered blow. As she watched the grinning man rush toward her, she adjusted her stance and raised her guard.
But the next instant, a figure blocked that sneering face, standing between him and Son Wukong.
Zhang Wutian appeared out of nowhere, blocked Evil Son Goku's punch with his hand, and seized his fist.
"Get lost! Don't interfere with our game!" Evil Son Goku snapped angrily.
"Who gave you permission to lay a finger on my Wukong, huh?!"
Zhang Wutian answered with a glare just as dark as his.
"Tch. Trash!"
Looking at that face, Evil Son Goku suddenly felt a surge of irritation. He seemed to remember seeing a similar expression long ago. Enraged, he began to increase his ki, trying to use the momentum to drive his captured fist forward.
But Zhang Wutian also began to increase his power, and the two struggled to a standstill.
The ground beneath them began to crack. Stones floated against gravity, then were crushed to pieces.
Overwhelmingly powerful auras rose from them. Behind Zhang Wutian, Son Wukong had no choice but to retreat a little in the face of those two forces.
The two auras clashed for a while, but in the end, Evil Son Goku still couldn't move his fist.
"You've got guts. Fine, you're my opponent now. Let's see if you still have that much nerve after this!"
"Are those your final words? If you get the chance to leave behind a whole corpse and be buried, I'll carve 'guts' on your tombstone."
"Hmph!" Evil Son Goku fell silent and slammed his head into Zhang Wutian.
Caught off guard, Zhang Wutian took the headbutt in the face and toppled backward. He had no choice but to release Evil Son Goku's hand.
Evil Son Goku pressed his advantage and launched a relentless series of attacks.
First, he punched Zhang Wutian in the abdomen, sending him flying backward and doubling him over.
Next came an elbow strike aimed at his face, knocking Zhang Wutian into a backward arch.
Evil Son Goku grabbed Zhang Wutian by the foot as he flew backward and slammed him into the ground like a towel. The ground shattered, and Zhang Wutian hit it face-first. Then Evil Son Goku spun around once with himself at the center and hurled Zhang Wutian into the sky.
"Die!"
Evil Son Goku raised his palm toward the sky, and ki rapidly gathered into a beam of light. Then a Shockwave tore across the sky and blasted toward Zhang Wutian, who had been thrown into the air.
The beam of light swallowed Zhang Wutian's body and spread outward across the sky. The air turned blue with its radiance, and in the end, everything vanished into nothingness.
High above, Zhang Wutian's battered body fell from the sky and crashed to the ground.
Looking down at the body fallen before him, Evil Son Goku sneered. "I thought you were someone impressive. Turns out you're just an idiot who talks big?"
Before Evil Son Goku's words had even faded, Zhang Wutian suddenly rolled over and sprang back to his feet, full of life.
He brushed the dust off himself and tore away the charred parts of his clothes, revealing his muscular build. Looking at the stunned Evil Son Goku, Zhang Wutian grinned.
"Now I can relax," he said. "Your punches are so weak, you can't hurt Wukong at all."
"Was Zhang Wutian just testing his opponent's strength?" Krillin gaped. "You scared me!"
"Hmph! What a fool," Tien Shinhan snorted.
Son Wukong had worried that Zhang Wutian shouldn't be getting beaten without putting up a fight, so she breathed a sigh of relief. She was a little annoyed that he had stolen her fight, but at the same time, she felt a little happy to have someone protect her.
"Quit putting on a show. I'll make sure you can't get back up this time," Evil Son Goku said, clenching his fist in mortified anger.
"If that's all the strength you've got, you'll be the one who can't get back up!" Zhang Wutian shot back without yielding an inch.
Things have been hectic at home lately, so I've been writing at midnight and updating in the early morning. For all my hard work, brothers, could you give me some more recommendations and add the novel to your collections?
