"Hahaha! You fool! That was incredibly stupid!" Golden Bear scoffed when Goku slammed his head into him. It hadn't hurt at all, and a mocking smile spread across his face.
Goku suddenly smiled mysteriously. "You're the fool! You gave your opponent a chance to get close!"
"What?!" Golden Bear had a bad feeling about this.
Suddenly, he felt someone grab his foot! The next moment, he lost his balance!
"Ha!" Goku grabbed both of his ankles and heaved, lifting him right off the ground!
Thud!
Golden Bear landed flat on his back!
"Holy crap! W-What?!" Golden Bear was completely dumbfounded. You could do that?
Goku grinned smugly. "Heh! Now let's see how you defend yourself! You can ignore my Ki Blasts, but physical attacks should work, right?"
As he spoke, Goku dragged Golden Bear toward the edge of the ring.
"Let go of me, you bastard! Let go!" Golden Bear struggled, but he was so heavy and enormous that he couldn't even turn himself over!
Dragging him along, Goku said, "Heh, you probably thought you were immune to every attack, so you never bothered to train properly, huh? That's why you ended up with a body like that. What a fool!"
"Bastard! If you've got the guts, put me down! Let's fight to the death!" Golden Bear snarled angrily.
Goku didn't seem bothered. "Don't bother struggling. I've got a pretty good idea of what you can do, so you're going out of the ring!"
By then, Goku had dragged Golden Bear to the edge. He grabbed one of his feet with both hands and suddenly heaved!
"Ahhh!!" Golden Bear's entire body was lifted into the air!
"Out you go!" Goku flung him off the ring!
Boom!
Golden Bear hit the ground hard, marking his elimination.
"The first match goes to Universe 7!" the referee announced, snapping out of his shock.
"Woohoo!!!" The Universe 7 team burst into excited cheers.
"Damn it! We lost!" Champa grumbled.
Then he turned to Frost. "You're up! Give that guy a good beating!"
Frost bowed slightly. "As you command!"
The next moment, he vanished from where he stood and appeared in the ring.
Looking at Goku, Frost smiled. "I'll be your opponent now. I look forward to our match!"
Goku looked at Frost and smiled. "Oh! Frost! I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do, too!"
"To be honest," Frost said slowly, "as a champion of justice, I don't actually want to use violence against you. But I had no choice. Lord Champa promised to invest a large sum in us if I agreed to compete, so we could improve our equipment."
"I see," Goku said. "You really are kind. Much kinder than Frieza from our Universe 7!"
"Then let's begin," Frost said with a slight smile.
Goku suddenly grinned. "You're not in your final form yet, are you? Show it to me, or you won't be able to beat me!"
Frost was taken aback, then looked surprised. "How did you know?"
Goku laughed. "Because Frieza from Universe 7 can transform into other forms, too!"
At that, Frost nodded. "I understand!"
He let out a low shout and began powering up!
Rumble!
A powerful aura engulfed the arena as dark blue energy spread outward! His power was immense!
As the light faded before the astonished spectators, Frost's changed form came into view. But it wasn't his final form. It was more like Frieza's second form—a duck-like shape!
He hadn't unleashed his full power!
Frost looked at Goku and said, "This is my final form!"
Goku frowned slightly. "You still haven't shown your true strength!"
Frost smiled. "This is enough."
Goku raised his hands into a fighting stance. "Then come on!"
Frost brought both fists to his waist. The next moment, his eyes widened. With an angry shout, he darted forward, leaving only a blur!
Goku's expression tightened, and he vanished the next instant as well!
Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!
The two began moving at incredible speed, chasing each other and trading punches. The spectators could barely follow them!
"What the hell is Kakarot doing? Shouldn't he be able to beat someone like that with ease?" Vegeta grumbled from the stands.
Luya watched the figures in the ring and had naturally heard Vegeta. But this was just what he'd expected. Goku was different from Vegeta. Goku usually held back at the start of a fight, never going all out right away. That was part of his kind nature. Vegeta was different: once he attacked, he immediately overwhelmed his opponent with the force of a thunderbolt!
Their styles were complete opposites, yet they still got along. That always surprised Luya. Maybe the two of them shared a certain pure friendship...
Wham!
"Ugh!"
Suddenly, Frost punched Goku in the face, sending him hurtling down. But Goku soon landed steadily, then quickly brought his hands together and fired a Ki Blast!
Rumble!
The Ki Blast surged toward Frost with the force of a waterfall!
But Frost wore a sinister smile. He charged straight into Goku's blast, then tore through it as he rushed toward him! He completely ignored the Ki Blast!
"What?!" Goku's expression changed, but it was too late. Frost slammed his head into Goku's stomach, sending him flying. Goku skidded along the ground for more than ten meters!
Frost stood in the ring, smiling smugly.
"Frost's form is called Assault Form. It allows him to tear through his opponent's attacks with the force of a bullet!" Vados explained from the Universe 6 side.
"Impressive!" Saiyan Cabba exclaimed.
"But the Saiyan from Universe 7 probably still hasn't shown his true strength," Vados said with a smile.
"What? He's still holding back?" Cabba and the others were startled.
Hit glanced at the ring, then looked away, no longer interested. He couldn't get excited about a fight at this level.
"Hey, Vados! How can you take Universe 7's side?!" Champa grumbled.
"Ehehe, Lord Champa, I'm only telling the truth!" Vados replied, sounding hurt.
Champa: "..."
P.S. Hello, everyone. I wanted to say something this time. Some of you don't like this story, and that's fine. Everyone has their own preferences. I know this story has flaws, so it's understandable that some people don't enjoy it. But if you don't want to read it, just leave. Don't stick around to stir things up, provoke others, or mock them. I can't stand that sort of behavior. If you don't like the story, you can simply stop reading; there's no need to leave such nasty comments behind (this is aimed at people who use insulting language and show no respect). It's like they're desperate for everyone to know. Seriously, it's too much. I don't even know what to say.
And about the power scaling falling apart: it really has, to the point where I don't want to write about power levels anymore. I'll just focus on writing good fights. After all, even when the power gap is huge in Dragon Ball, characters can still fight each other. So the scaling was already a mess to begin with. Some of you just aren't used to it, and that's fine. I can only say that I didn't manage to write the story the way you wanted. Still, thank you for your support!!!
I won't ask for tips today. Ahem, my skin's gotten thick from being broke. I'll keep writing my best!!! Also, would you rather I update at midnight or in the morning? I'm worried you'll stay up too late, which isn't good for you! I don't mind either way!
