As the tournament continued, intense battles unfolded within the arena. Soon, eight powerhouses emerged from the pack, and following a series of draws, the real competition finally began!

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting! I now declare the World Martial Arts Tournament officially underway. First up, Yamcha versus Tien Shinhan!"

As the referee's voice faded, the crowd erupted into cheers. Backstage, Yamcha and Tien Shinhan exchanged glances, both wearing expressions of disdain, before stepping out onto the ring.

"Hey, you're Tien Shinhan, right? I suggest you just give up now!" Yamcha struck a fighting pose and said smugly.

"Hmph, keep barking like a dog. I'll make you shut your mouth soon enough!" Tien Shinhan retorted with a cold snort and a look of utter contempt.

Ha!

In the next second, Yamcha moved, launching an assault on Tien Shinhan. The two immediately locked into a fierce struggle, their intense combat setting the audience's blood boiling as everyone became completely immersed in the spectacular match.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Their fists collided with deafening roars. After a brief exchange, both men's expressions turned serious; they quickly separated, instantly putting seven or eight meters of distance between them.

"I really did underestimate you!"

"In that case, let me show you my ultimate technique: Neo Wolf Fang Fist!"

With a roar, Yamcha shot forward like the wind. His figure blurred into dozens of wolf shadows, accompanied by deafening howls as he lunged to tear into Tien Shinhan!

Seeing this, Tien Shinhan no longer held back. He stepped forward to meet the attack, their fist-work clashing like shadows. The two figures darted back and forth across the ring, creating a dazzling, dizzying display.

"So... so strong!" Krillin watched the fight with a look of astonishment.

"I never expected Yamcha to have improved this much. Choosing to take him in as a student was the right decision!" Master Roshi nodded in satisfaction.

"Hahaha!"

On the ring, Tien Shinhan couldn't help but laugh mockingly. Yamcha frowned, asking angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

"I thought the Turtle School's fists were something special, but it turns out they're pathetic!" Tien Shinhan sneered.

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Yamcha flew into a rage. His body once again transformed into wolf shadows as he lunged at Tien Shinhan. However, Tien Shinhan remained indifferent; he shifted into a horse stance, his muscles bulging and veins popping, letting Yamcha's rain of punches land directly on his body.

"No... impossible! You're not even hurt!" Yamcha stopped his assault, staring in disbelief.

"See that? Your techniques are child's play! Now, let me show you my style!"

Swish!

With that, Tien Shinhan moved like a phantom. In the blink of an eye, he appeared beside Yamcha and launched a violent barrage of attacks before his opponent could even react!

Yamcha's expression turned grave. He gritted his teeth, doing his best to defend against Tien Shinhan's onslaught, but he looked incredibly strained and quickly fell onto the defensive.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of strikes landed on Yamcha, forcing him to his knees, his body covered in wounds.

"It seems the outcome is decided."

Master Roshi shook his head and said helplessly.

"I... I haven't lost yet!"

Yamcha endured the agonizing pain and stood up. His gaze turned incredibly focused as he shifted into a stance, cupping his hands at his waist to form a chalice shape.

"That's the Kamehameha! When did this kid learn that?" Master Roshi exclaimed in disbelief.

Ha!

As Yamcha roared, a beam of white light erupted from his palms. Seeing this, Tien Shinhan pressed his hands together, a faint golden glow radiating from his body!

Boom!

The moment the Kamehameha made contact, it was deflected away. Yamcha leaped into the air, but the blast struck the spectator stands behind them. As the explosion rang out, screams echoed from the crowd!

"Yamcha, look out!"

Goku suddenly shouted at Yamcha in mid-air. Before he could react, Tien Shinhan struck him down from the sky, sending him crashing heavily onto the ring. Tien Shinhan then descended rapidly, slamming his weight onto Yamcha's knee!

"Ah!"

As Yamcha's scream pierced the air, the kneecap of his leg shattered. Overcome by unbearable pain, he passed out instantly.

"Yamcha!"

Seeing this, Goku and Krillin rushed over. At the same time, the referee declared Tien Shinhan the winner and signaled for the medical team to hurry over.

"Master Yamcha, I'll take you to the hospital!"

"Wait!"

Just as Puar transformed into a flying carpet, Ziye stepped in to stop him. He quickly helped Yamcha up, pulled a Senzu Bean from his pocket, crushed it, and fed it to Yamcha.

As the powder of the Senzu Bean touched his tongue, Yamcha felt a warm current flow through his body. His shattered bones instantly mended, and he woke up at the same time. The pain was gone, replaced by a feeling of immense strength surging through his body!

"Ziye, what did you just feed Yamcha? How did his injuries heal so quickly?" Krillin asked, bewildered by the shocking scene.

"Is that a Senzu Bean? Ziye, you're always so thoughtful!" Goku recognized the bean immediately and said excitedly.

"Senzu Bean? What's that?" Krillin scratched his head and asked again.

"It's a special food from Korin Sanctuary. It can keep a person from needing to eat for ten days and has the effect of healing injuries!" Goku explained.

"So that's how it is!"

"Thank you, Ziye!"

Although he didn't fully understand what had happened, Yamcha knew that it was Ziye who had saved him, and he thanked him immediately.

"It... it's truly miraculous! Contestant Ziye fed Contestant Yamcha a strange bean, and his injuries have actually healed completely!" The referee, stunned by the scene before him, hurriedly grabbed his microphone to explain the situation to the bewildered audience.

"Are you two done chatting yet? Do you think this is your own home?" Tien Shinhan frowned, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

At these words, the expressions of the group darkened. They glared at Tien Shinhan in fury, and Goku spoke up directly, demanding angrily:

"Yamcha had already lost! Why did you have to use such a vicious move?"

"It's a stroke of luck that I didn't kill him!" Tien Shinhan replied, appearing completely indifferent. With a cold sneer, he walked off the arena stage.
