Thunder Shock Surprise

Goku happily warmed up, unable to wait any longer to fight Jackie Chan. The stronger his opponent was, the more excited he became.

After a series of battles, Goku had finally made it to the championship match.

"Now, let's interview the two contestants who have both racked up win after win!"

The Announcer came out from backstage and pointed his microphone at Goku, who was still warming up. Goku was clearly taking this match very seriously.

"Goku, how confident are you about winning this match?"

"Raw garlic? What's that?"

Goku's innocent answer to the Announcer's question made everyone burst into laughter.

"I don't know what it is. I'll just do my best."

After answering, Goku went back to warming up.

Goku's answer left the Announcer awkwardly at a loss for words, so he had no choice but to interview Jackie Chan instead.

"May I ask what battle plan you have in mind, Jackie Chan?"

The Announcer pointed his microphone at the Turtle Hermit.

The Turtle Hermit said nothing. He simply closed his eyes, exuding a special aura that left everyone in awe.

But a moment later, everyone was left feeling awkward. The Turtle Hermit had started snoring. Who would have thought he'd fallen asleep? His aura vanished in an instant.

The Announcer wiped his forehead with a handkerchief to hide his embarrassment, then said, "Who would have thought Jackie Chan would be so composed that he could fall asleep? He must be completely at ease! But is this calmness, or is it simply an old man's tendency to doze off?"

The last part was barely audible. He probably was the only one who could hear it.

"The final match begins!"

After the Announcer declared the match underway, the Turtle Hermit was the first to strike, charging at Goku. But Goku was faster, leaping into the air in a flash.

The Turtle Hermit flipped through the air a few times and kicked Goku, striking him squarely in the back and sending him flying into the distance.

The crowd was stunned. Had Goku really been eliminated just like that?

"That little fool thought he'd be safe if he jumped away? He's so careless. But I never dreamed I'd win this easily! If I'd known, I wouldn't have worried so much in the first place!"

The Turtle Hermit couldn't help grinning smugly. He raised his hands and cheered to the crowd. Even the Announcer thought he'd won.

Just then, the spectators burst into loud cheers!

Hearing them, the Turtle Hermit looked up at the sky. Even Bulma and the others, who had thought Goku was defeated, looked up in delight.

Goku's tail was spinning rapidly in the sky. He had used it to fly back, a triumphant grin on his face.

He even waved to the spectators in midair. After landing, he made a face at the Turtle Hermit.

The Turtle Hermit hadn't expected Goku to make it back into the ring in such a startling way.

Goku even explained that he'd wanted to use the Turtle Hermit's Kamehameha to get back into the ring, but he could save that move for later.

Hearing this, the Turtle Hermit thought Goku was taking his Kamehameha far too lightly. He'd spent years mastering it, so there was no way Goku could use it that easily. He'd almost let his identity slip, too.

Goku's relentless questioning had left him jolting with alarm. He immediately took up the Kamehameha stance. Unable to keep up his story, he decided to make Goku shut up. Seeing the Turtle Hermit's energy wave, Goku also struck the standard Kamehameha pose.

The two of them immediately clashed in a beam struggle.

Their energy waves canceled each other out. The Turtle Hermit hadn't expected Goku to have mastered the Kamehameha so well.

Then the Turtle Hermit used the Afterimage Fist on Goku. Fooled by it, Goku was struck and buried in a pile of rocks, but the move didn't seem to affect him at all.

Goku promptly used the Afterimage Fist himself. The Turtle Hermit saw him perform it—and even produce a double afterimage.

But the Turtle Hermit had underestimated Goku. Goku had actually created a triple afterimage, and the real Goku came crashing down from the sky, slamming into the Turtle Hermit's head.

"You little brat! How dare you hit your master on the head!"

The Turtle Hermit shouted angrily.

"But isn't my master Grandpa Turtle Hermit?"

Goku asked, puzzled.

Oh no, the Turtle Hermit thought. He immediately pulled out the fake family tree he'd prepared beforehand. Everyone was shocked to see it, but clearly no one really believed it.

With no choice, the Turtle Hermit launched another attack, drawing everyone's attention back to the fight.

The Turtle Hermit suddenly started swaying as if drunk, then knocked Goku down in an instant.

Seeing the Turtle Hermit use that move, Goku had a sudden idea and used Monkey Fist. He beat the Turtle Hermit so badly that he fled, clutching his head.

But then the Turtle Hermit used Hypnosis. Everyone found the move fascinating, and even Goku watched curiously as he performed it.

Even Jiang Yun, watching from the shadows, couldn't help nodding. The Turtle Hermit's fighting power hadn't grown over the years, but he'd certainly picked up plenty of strange moves. Still, this one had too many limitations. In a real fight to the death, nobody would wait around while you slowly performed it.

Watching the Turtle Hermit, Goku suddenly felt drowsy and then fell to the ground. He had clearly been hypnotized. Looking at Goku lying there, even the Announcer felt the Turtle Hermit's victory was a little unsporting, but he still followed the rules and began counting.

Everyone shouted for Goku to get up, but nothing worked. Just as the count was about to end, Bulma had a sudden idea and yelled, "Goku, dinner's ready!"

To everyone's surprise, Goku jumped straight to his feet. The Turtle Hermit hadn't expected his move to be broken so easily.

Goku immediately attacked the Turtle Hermit with Rock-Paper-Scissors, but the more experienced fighter saw through it.

When Goku realized his move wouldn't work, he quickly used a feint to distract the Turtle Hermit and knock him down. But it clearly hadn't hurt the Turtle Hermit much.

Now the real climax began. The Turtle Hermit looked unusually serious, while Goku was excited!

The Turtle Hermit was wondering whether he should use that move. Goku could probably withstand it, right?

To let Goku taste defeat, and for the sake of his own purpose in coming here, the Turtle Hermit decided to use that move.

The Turtle Hermit stood solemnly, his hands gathered in front of his chest as if building up energy.

Suddenly, sparks began to crackle between the Turtle Hermit's hands. Everyone was astonished. They hadn't known he had such a powerful move.

Goku was just as shocked, his face filled with disbelief.

Energy gathered in the Turtle Hermit's hands, and the sparks grew stronger and stronger. Seeing such a powerful move, no one could imagine how painful it would be to take a direct hit.

"Thunder Shock Surprise!"

The Turtle Hermit roared!

Electricity shot from his hands and instantly trapped Goku in midair. Even Goku's hair stood on end from the shock.

Goku's face was twisted in agony. It was clear just how powerful this move was!

The crowd was also shocked, and they began to worry for Goku.

Even Bulma urged Goku to give up. If this went on, the move might kill him!

Goku was filled with defiance. It was clear that his Saiyan nature wouldn't let him give up so easily!

Goku refused to accept defeat. He kept resisting the electric current, but anyone could see he was at his limit and wouldn't last much longer.

What would happen to Goku?
