Yamcha vs. Tien Shinhan

As the tournament continued, fierce battles broke out inside the tournament hall. Before long, eight powerful fighters had emerged. After a series of draws, the real matches finally began!

"Sorry for the wait, everyone! I now declare the World Martial Arts Tournament officially underway. First up, Yamcha will face Tien Shinhan!"

At the referee's announcement, the crowd erupted in cheers. In the waiting area, Yamcha and Tien Shinhan exchanged glances, both wearing looks of disdain. Then they strode onto the ring.

"Hey, you're Tien Shinhan, right? I'd advise you to surrender quietly!" Yamcha struck a fighting pose and spoke smugly.

"Hmph. Keep yapping, why don't you? I'll make you shut up soon enough!" Tien Shinhan snorted, his face full of contempt.

Ha!

The next moment, Yamcha sprang into motion and charged at Tien Shinhan. They immediately clashed, their fierce battle sending the crowd into a frenzy. Everyone was absorbed in the thrilling match.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Their fists collided with deafening booms. After a brief exchange, both men grew serious. Their figures quickly pulled apart, leaving a distance of seven or eight meters between them.

"You're a little better than I expected!"

"Since that's the case, I'll show you my ultimate technique—Neo Wolf Fang Fist!"

With a thunderous shout, Yamcha shot forward like the wind. His figure transformed into dozens of wolf-shaped images, which snarled deafeningly as they lunged to tear into Tien Shinhan!

Tien Shinhan didn't let his guard down. He planted his feet and charged forward to meet Yamcha. Their fists blurred as they clashed, their bodies darting back and forth across the ring so quickly that it was hard to follow them!

"H-he's incredible!" Krillin exclaimed, staring at their battle in shock.

"I can't believe Yamcha has improved so much. I was right to take him in as a student," Master Roshi said, nodding with satisfaction.

"Hahahaha!"

On the ring, Tien Shinhan suddenly burst into mocking laughter. Yamcha furrowed his brow and asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

"I thought the Turtle School's fists would be impressive. Turns out they're pitifully weak!" Tien Shinhan said with contempt.

"What did you say?"

Yamcha flew into a rage. His body once again became a blur of wolf-shaped images as he lunged at Tien Shinhan. But Tien Shinhan looked completely unconcerned. He planted his feet in a bow stance, his muscles bulging and veins standing out, and let Yamcha rain punches down on him!

"I-it can't be! You're not hurt at all!" Yamcha stopped attacking, staring in disbelief.

"See? Your techniques are like a child's! Now, let me show you my fighting style!"

Whoosh!

Tien Shinhan moved like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he appeared beside Yamcha and launched a fierce attack before Yamcha could react!

Yamcha's expression turned grim. Gritting his teeth, he fought with all his might to defend against Tien Shinhan's assault, but he was clearly struggling. Before long, he was at a disadvantage.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A flurry of blows battered Yamcha, knocking him to his knees. His body was covered in injuries!

"Looks like the winner's been decided," Master Roshi said with a helpless shake of his head.

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

Yamcha got to his feet through the pain. His gaze grew intensely focused as he took a bow stance, clasping his hands at his waist and forming them into the shape of a flower bud!

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

Ha!

With another thunderous shout, Yamcha fired a white beam from his palms. Tien Shinhan brought his hands together, and a faint golden glow radiated from his body!

Boom!

The moment the Kamehameha hit him, Tien Shinhan sent it flying back. Yamcha hurriedly leaped into the air, but the Kamehameha shot into the spectator stands behind him. As it exploded, screams rang out from the crowd!

"Yamcha, watch out!" Goku suddenly shouted to him from below.

Before Yamcha could react, Tien Shinhan struck him out of the air. He crashed heavily onto the ring, and Tien Shinhan immediately dropped down after him, slamming into Yamcha's knee!

"Ah!"

Yamcha screamed. His kneecap had been shattered, and the unbearable pain knocked him unconscious!

"Yamcha!"

Goku and Krillin rushed over. At the same time, the referee declared Tien Shinhan the winner and called for the medical staff.

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

"Wait!"

Just as Puar had transformed into a flying carpet, Ziye suddenly called out to stop him. Ziye hurried over to help Yamcha up, took a Senzu Bean from his pocket, crushed it, and put it into Yamcha's mouth.

As the Senzu Bean powder entered his mouth, Yamcha felt a warm current flow through his body. His broken bone healed in an instant, and he woke up at the same time. The pain was gone, and he felt strength coursing through his entire body!

"Ziye, what did you just give Yamcha? How did his injuries heal so quickly?" Krillin asked, bewildered by the astonishing sight.

"That's a Senzu Bean! Ziye, you really thought ahead!" Goku recognized it immediately and exclaimed excitedly.

"A Senzu Bean? What's that?" Krillin asked again, scratching his head.

"It's a kind of food from Korin Sanctuary. It can keep someone from needing to eat for ten days, and it can also heal injuries," Goku explained.

"I see!"

"Thank you, Ziye!"

Though he didn't understand exactly what had happened, Yamcha knew that Ziye had saved him, so he thanked him.

"Th-this is incredible! Contestant Ziye just fed contestant Yamcha a strange bean, and his injuries have completely healed!" The referee was also stunned by what he'd witnessed. He hurriedly picked up the microphone and explained the situation to the confused spectators.

"Are you all done chatting? You think this is your home or something?" Tien Shinhan said mockingly, furrowing his brow.

Their expressions darkened, and they glared angrily at Tien Shinhan. Goku especially spoke up, demanding, "Yamcha had already lost. Why did you have to go so far?"

"I'm lucky I didn't kill him!" Tien Shinhan replied, completely unbothered. He gave a cold laugh and left the ring.
