Semifinal Finals

Time flew by, and three of the quarter-final matches for the World Martial Arts Tournament had already concluded. Ziye, Krillin, and Jackie Chun had successfully advanced to the semi-finals, and now it was Goku's turn to take the stage as the fourth match began.

"Good."

"The fourth match will now begin."

"Will both contestants please step onto the stage?"

As the referee's voice faded, Goku ran out from the backstage area in high spirits, waving to the audience!

"What a cute little kid."

"He's so small, how did he make it to the finals?"

"Huh? This kid's outfit is exactly the same as that Ziye and Krillin's."

"It really is!"

"Awesome, finally, it's Goku's turn!"

"Go Goku! You have to win!" Bulma shouted excitedly.

Following this, Monster walked onto the ring with heavy footsteps. His massive frame made people's hearts tighten, especially when compared to the petite-looking Goku standing nearby.

Monster glared at Goku, a look of disdain curling his lips. He clenched his fist and said coldly, "Kid, watch me beat you half to death."

Goku ignored him, instead staying in place to stretch his limbs!

"Hey, kid, let me show you something!" Monster said, clutching his fist and whispering to Goku.

Hearing this piqued Goku's curiosity, and he looked over with a puzzled expression!

"What?"

"Come over here and you'll see!"

Goku walked innocently up to Monster, but just as he curiously leaned in to check what was in Monster's hand, the opponent suddenly threw a punch.

"Go to hell!"

Bang!

Goku was instantly sent flying, crashing into the wall behind him.

"That guy is still so naive!" Ziye said, patting his forehead in exasperation.

"How despicable."

"That's too much, a sneak attack!"

"Get up, Goku! Knock that bastard down!"

Seeing this, Bulma flew into a rage and shouted loudly toward the stage.

"Damn it, you snuck up on me! That's so low!" Goku said as he stood up, rubbing his slightly swollen cheek.

"Haha, who told you to be an idiot!" Monster retorted bluntly.

"Damn it! I'm angry now, take this!"

With that, Goku leaped forward, his body moving at high speed. Before the opponent could even track his movements, Goku landed a punch on his face, and Monster crashed to the ground!

Immediately after, Goku grabbed Monster's tail with both hands, spun him around a few times, and threw him directly toward the edge of the ring!

"Great, he won!"

Just as Krillin was getting excited, Monster's body suddenly stopped in mid-air outside the ring. Wings sprouted from his back, and he flew right back onto the stage.

"Haha, it's impossible for me to fall out of bounds," Monster said with an arrogant grin.

"In that case, I'll just have to beat you until you're on your knees begging for mercy!" Goku sneered, settling into his fighting stance.

"Heh, you'd have to have the skill for that!"

Monster chewed on his lip, and the next second, he spat out a strange purple line that wrapped tightly around Goku!

"What... what is this?"

After struggling in vain to break free, Goku asked in confusion.

"Haha, you've been bound by my Rubber Ring!"

"Don't waste your energy, you can't break free."

With that, Monster charged straight at Goku. Seeing this, Goku tried to leap away, but he was caught firmly by the opponent.

"You're finished."

Whoosh!

Monster sneered, then used all his strength to hurl Goku hundreds of meters away!

"Goku! No way, he was defeated that easily?" Seeing this, Master Roshi was stunned. He had assumed that if anyone were to defeat Goku, it would be Ziye or himself.

"Wukong!"

Krillin also shouted anxiously.

High in the air, Wukong's body began to descend slowly. His expression grew frantic, and he instinctively shouted, "Flying Nimbus!"

The next second, a golden streak of light shot across the horizon as the Flying Nimbus raced over, caught Wukong, and gently carried him back to the ring.

"Saved! Thanks, Flying Nimbus!" Wukong panted, letting out a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, the Monster's face turned completely black. He shouted directly at the announcer, "Hey, are you going to do something about this, referee? Didn't you say using items wasn't allowed?"

"Didn't you fly back from the sky yourself? And what about that weird ring?" Wukong retorted, looking unconvinced.

"I flew back using my own body, and that Rubber Ring was spat out of my own mouth!" the Monster snapped back.

The announcer wiped the cold sweat from his face and spoke up, "Apologies, everyone! We need to discuss this."

A moment later, the announcer's voice rang out again!

"After a unanimous decision by the judges, contestant Sun Wukong's actions do not count as a foul, but let this be the last time!"

"Hmph, then I'll just throw you out again! You're finished!" Hearing this, the Monster had no choice but to swallow his anger and snort coldly.

"Oh no."

Wukong's expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to break free from the Rubber Ring, but the Monster didn't intend to give him the chance, roaring as he charged forward.

"Go to hell!"

Bang!

The Monster threw a punch, but he felt as if his fist had hit nothing at all. Looking closely, he realized Wukong had already vanished.

The Monster looked around in confusion, only to see that Wukong had hooked his tail around the Monster's arm!

"That's a tail? You're not human?"

The Monster asked, looking shocked.

"A tail? My tail grew back!" Wukong said, looking thrilled.

He quickly jumped onto the ring, and at the same time, exerted all his strength to shatter the Rubber Ring!

"Awesome!"

"I'm at my strongest when I have my tail!"

Wukong jumped around the ring in excitement, completely ignoring the shocked expressions of the people around him.

"Alright, now I'm going to start my counterattack!"

With that, Wukong's expression hardened. He focused all his power; he dared not be careless this time, and he unleashed his full strength from the very first strike.

Boom!

The Monster didn't back down either, clenching his fist to meet the attack. As their fists collided, the Monster felt a surge of immense power, a sharp pain radiating through his skin to every part of his body. The next second, he was sent flying.

"So... so powerful. Has this brat really grown this strong? And with that little guy Ziye, this is truly a headache! I might actually end up losing to them!" Seeing this, Master Roshi couldn't help but look astonished.

"In the fourth match, the winner is Sun Wukong!"

"That concludes today's matches. We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow for the finals of the World Martial Arts Tournament!"

"Who will walk away with the five hundred thousand prize money!"
