The junior division's matches ended, and everyone headed over to the adult division's arena.

By the time Yun Feng and the others returned, the adult division's matches had already begun. The first match featured two Earthlings.

Earthlings' fighting power was pitifully low these days. According to the system's readings, both fighters were around 50. It was truly painful to watch.

Finally, it was Yun Feng's turn in the second match. The referee announced, "Second match: Yun Feng versus Ji Fei."

A huge fat man stepped onto the ring, though he seemed quite nimble.

"Kid, you're unlucky to have run into me. Don't let my size fool you—I'm as light as a swallow. There's no chance you'll get away."

Yun Feng rolled his eyes, not even bothering to argue with the fat man. He punched him in the stomach, sending him flying. The man passed out.

"Second match: Piccolo versus Axin."

Yun Feng looked at Axin. Is he the Supreme Kai of this generation?

Piccolo and Axin slowly stepped into the ring. Piccolo was sweating profusely; he had a feeling the other man was someone important.

The referee recognized King Piccolo. "Mr. Piccolo, please don't damage the ring during this match."

The two slowly made their way onto the ring. The referee had already announced the start of the match, but they had been standing in the middle for ages without making a move.

The audience grew impatient. "Get on with it! What are you standing around for?"

Yun Feng realized that Piccolo might have sensed Axin's identity. His voice sounded directly in Piccolo's mind. "Piccolo, just forfeit."

Piccolo spoke up at once. "I forfeit." Then he stepped down from the ring.

Goku and the others watched Piccolo come down. "Piccolo, what happened?"

Piccolo said only one thing: "The gap in our dimensions is too great."

Third match: Videl versus Parace.

Unexpectedly, Videl was badly injured by Parace. Yun Feng healed her with a Senzu Bean, and he had already sensed Babidi's magic in Parace.

Babidi had indeed come to the tournament grounds. Who knew what else he had planned?

Fourth match: Kibito versus Son Gohan.

Yun Feng walked over to Axin. "Supreme Kai, you should have Kibito forfeit."

Axin's eyes widened. "You know who I am?"

"Not only do I know who you are, I also know why you came here."

"Kibito isn't a match for Gohan, and we don't need to go looking for Babidi, because he's already taken control of the entire arena."

Axin was so shocked that words could hardly describe it. He never imagined that this young man could astonish the mighty Supreme Kai so much.

"Since you know everything, do you have a plan?"

"Let the matches continue. I still don't know exactly which people Babidi sent here, so I need to observe a little longer," Yun Feng said.

"How confident are you? What if we make a mistake and Majin Buu is revived...?"

Yun Feng replied confidently, "If Majin Buu is revived, leave him to me. I'm confident I can defeat him."

Axin shook his head. "You still don't understand how terrifying Majin Buu is."

Yun Feng smiled. "Supreme Kai, you're the one who doesn't understand our power."

Supreme Kai: "..."

Though the Supreme Kai felt it was risky, he still chose to trust the young man.

The Supreme Kai could also sense an incredible power within him.

The Supreme Kai nodded to Kibito, who said, "I forfeit."

Gohan looked surprised. When his opponent forfeited, he bowed and stepped down from the ring.

Fifth match: Son Goku versus Vegeta.

The two stepped onto the ring. "Kakarot, I've finally waited for this day. If you hold back, I'll never forgive you."

Goku: "..."

At the referee's signal, Vegeta charged at Goku. Even without turning Super Saiyan, both of them now had around two billion in fighting power.

They collided in an instant, exchanging punches. The impact of their blows rang out with terrifying force.

The audience stared in shock. Their strength was almost evenly matched. Goku punched Vegeta in the face, and Vegeta spun around and struck Goku under the chin.

Neither of them held back. They fought from the ring into the sky, then back down onto the ring.

"Goku's gotten so much stronger over the last few days. I thought he'd have Vegeta on the back foot, but Vegeta's no slouch either. Saiyans really are terrifying," Piccolo said.

Yun Feng turned to Piccolo. "Who do you think will win?"

"It's hard to say. Vegeta's not doing any worse than Goku."

Everyone else kept their eyes on the ring as waves of terrifying wind swept past. Goku suddenly vanished, and Vegeta searched around for him.

"Found you, Kakarot! That little trick won't get you anywhere." Vegeta swung his arm and sent Goku flying. Goku crashed into the ring's wall, and Vegeta launched a furious assault.

The spectators shut their eyes. "How awful! That guy in orange is done for!"

Goku hit the ground. "Kakarot, quit playing around. That move just now wasn't enough to beat you."

Goku stood up as if nothing had happened. "So I couldn't fool you after all," he said with a grin.

Vegeta snorted. "That's enough warm-up. Kakarot, show me your real strength."

They took their fighting stances again. Goku charged straight at Vegeta, his energy rapidly surging. He threw a punch, which Vegeta blocked with his arm. Goku threw another, then unleashed ten or so punches in a flash. Vegeta stayed on the defensive the entire time.

Meanwhile, the man who had defeated Videl held up an Energy Scouter. "Their strength is nothing special. They're not worth our effort."

Both fighters were still in their ordinary forms, without turning Super Saiyan. Suddenly, Vegeta vanished. Goku froze, then realized something was wrong.

Damn it! By the time he turned around, it was too late. Vegeta kicked him, and Goku took the blow square in the chest.

"Not bad, Kakarot. Looks like I'll have to get serious to bring out your real strength."

Vegeta launched another fierce assault, and Goku chose to attack as well, meeting him head-on. Their fists and legs collided, and the ring rang with the force of their blows.

Both of them were already battered, their bodies covered in bruises.

Vegeta suddenly leaped into the air. "Kakarot, try this!"

Lightning flashed around Vegeta, making him look like a god descending from the heavens.

The audience watched Vegeta soar into the sky, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads. "Is this still martial arts? Is he even human? Since when did flying become the trend?"

Goku saw what Vegeta was planning. "Stop, Vegeta! You'll hurt the audience!"

"Kakarot, quit talking. If you're worried about those people, then take this head-on. If you dodge, they'll be the ones who suffer."

Goku quickly gathered his energy. "Kamehameha!"

A white ball of energy glowed in Goku's hands.

"Kakarot, take this! Big Bang Attack!"

Goku's white energy wave finished gathering, and he fired it straight at Vegeta.

The two terrifying energy waves collided in the air, turning the sky completely white. The shockwaves were so powerful that everyone nearby lowered their heads, unable to look directly at the sky.

Wave after wave of terrifying energy poured into the collision. Neither fighter gave an inch. The clash hung in a tense deadlock in midair, a ball of white energy shifting back and forth between Vegeta and Goku.

Ghost Shark watched the two fighters' energy struggle with green eyes. "These two are incredible. They might be the people Lord Babidi is looking for. If I kill them, won't I have fulfilled Lord Babidi's orders?"

Yun Feng also noticed the chill radiating from Ghost Shark.

That's right. This man's aura is cold, and he has Babidi's magic within him. He must be one of the people Babidi sent here.

The situation had suddenly become tense.
