Dragon Ball: Reborn as a Saiyan, They Covet Me Chapter 44

Although Krillin had lost, he had given it his all and accepted his defeat willingly.

And what about you?

Are you planning to lose to me on purpose just to help me save my energy?

The three of us worked just as hard training for eight months.

If you just concede like this to pave the way for me, without even showing a chance to prove yourself, are you really content with that?

He had expected Chi-Chi to say she wasn't.

However, Chi-Chi's love-struck brain had returned, and she said with a firm tone, "I'm content, of course I'm content! Goku, as long as I can help you, I'm willing to do anything!"

Son Goku: "..."

Krillin, watching from the side, almost couldn't hold it in.

He was already in pain from the external injuries Jackie Chun had dealt him, and it had taken him a long time just to sit up.

Now, while just trying to watch the show, he had been sprayed with a face full of their affection, and his heart started hurting again. It was unbearable!

Just then, the referee's voice cut in, urging them once more: "Will contestants Son Goku and Chi-Chi please come to the stage!"

Krillin hurriedly said, "Goku, Chi-Chi, hurry up and go, you're going to be late!"

Chi-Chi nodded.

"Let's go, Goku, we're going to be late. I definitely can't beat you, so I might as well just concede!"

Goku grabbed Chi-Chi's hand.

Suddenly having her hand held by Goku, Chi-Chi's face flushed bright red.

She lowered her head slightly: "Goku..."

Son Goku looked at Chi-Chi earnestly and said, "Chi-Chi, please, fight me with everything you've got!"

Chi-Chi said, feeling conflicted, "Bu-but..."

The audience outside began to urge them on, and Son Goku saw that time was running out.

So, he immediately said, "Chi-Chi, don't you like me?"

Chi-Chi was stunned. Her already red face turned three shades deeper.

Her rosy little face looked like a ripe apple.

That she liked Goku was no secret.

But for Goku to say this now, was he about to confess?

Chi-Chi's heart began to pound violently, and her breathing grew rapid, as if she might suffocate at any moment.

Goku looked at Chi-Chi seriously and said, "Chi-Chi, all the kindness you've shown me these days—even though I haven't said anything, I've seen it all. If you win against me this time, then I promise you, when I grow up, I'll take you as my bride!"

Chi-Chi trembled all over, her eyes shining bright: "Goku, I'm not dreaming, am I? Is it true?"

At that moment, the referee's urging voice came in again.

"Will contestants Son Goku and Chi-Chi please come to the stage for the match!"

Son Goku nodded again: "Of course it's true! But, you have to beat me first!"

Chi-Chi nodded vigorously.

"Mm!"

With that, the two walked toward the ring.

However, halfway there, Chi-Chi suddenly realized something was wrong.

What if I lose?

Will Goku never pay attention to me again?

However, the two had already arrived on the tournament stage.

At this moment, Chi-Chi simply liked Goku, for no reason at all.

She wanted to ask that question, but seeing Goku filled with fighting spirit, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

If Goku didn't say it, then even if she lost, the worst-case scenario was just continuing their current relationship, which wasn't bad either.

Chi-Chi took a deep breath and steadied her state of mind.

For this battle, to win over Goku, she would give it her all.

Soon, both of them finished their warm-ups and simultaneously assumed their starting stances.

The spectators cheered one after another.

"Good!"

"Both of them are students of Master Roshi; this battle is sure to be spectacular!"

"Yeah, yeah! A girl is this strong, I'm so looking forward to it!"

Seeing the two warm up and assume their starting stances, Jackie Chun was visibly stunned.

"These two little ones are actually going to fight with all their might; how interesting!"

Bulma also stared blankly at the scene.

Knowing she couldn't defeat Goku, she was still going to give it her all?

Tsk tsk, little Chi-Chi really had the aura of a martial artist when she got serious.

As the referee shouted the start, Chi-Chi lunged toward Goku.

She kicked fiercely toward Goku, and Goku immediately raised his arm to block her foot.

The moment they collided, Chi-Chi retracted her leg and threw a backhand straight punch toward Goku's face.

Goku raised one arm again to block the strike.

While blocking Chi-Chi's attack, Goku kicked out.

Chi-Chi's reaction was extremely fast; seeing that Goku was about to kick her, she stomped hard on the ground and leaped into the air.

Having just dodged Goku's kick, Chi-Chi swung her leg heavily while still in mid-air.

Seeing that the force of this move was too great to block, Goku quickly leaned his body backward, dodging Chi-Chi's whip kick.

The greater the range of a person's charged attack, the greater the opening left the moment the attack ended.

Since Chi-Chi's attack missed and she was still in the air, she clearly left a huge opening for her opponent.

Goku didn't hold back at all; he stomped on the ground and launched an elbow strike at Chi-Chi.

With no point of leverage, Chi-Chi had no choice but to take the attack head-on.

With a "bang," Chi-Chi was sent flying backward.

Seeing Goku not holding back against Chi-Chi at all, the spectators were shocked.

"Does this kid have any sense?"

"He's sparring with a girl and doesn't even go easy on her!"

"Such a cute girl, and his junior sister at that—how could you bring yourself to hit her!"

"Damn it, I'm furious right now!"

Someone next to him asked, "And then?"

"And then I just stayed furious for a bit!"

"..."

Seeing the intense exchange of moves between Goku and Chi-Chi, with no sign of them going easy on each other, Bulma clicked her tongue in secret.

"That silly boy Goku, doesn't he know how to go easy on Chi-Chi?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bulma gave a bitter smile.

"But then again!

If he understood these things, he wouldn't be Goku..."

Goku and Chi-Chi's moves grew faster and faster.

Soon, only the overlapping and blurred afterimages of the two fighting remained in the air, along with the "pop-pop-pop" sounds of their fists and feet colliding.

Following a fierce collision, the two quickly sprang apart, putting distance between them as the round came to an end.

Chi-Chi wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Son Goku, you're amazing. I almost didn't dodge that attack where you suddenly flashed behind me!"

Son Goku laughed, "I'd been preparing that move for a long time, but you still dodged it. You're pretty amazing yourself!!!"

"Hehehehe, Son Goku, don't praise me, or I'll get cocky! I'm definitely going to beat you!"

Son Goku assumed his starting stance, "Bring it on then, I won't lose either!"

The spectators watching the match were so enthralled by the brilliant duel that they had forgotten to applaud.

Because it was just too spectacular.

In the eyes of the audience, although the speed of their combat made it impossible to see individual strikes, they could still track their movements.

The battle between the two was like lightning and flint, absolutely magnificent.

"So amazing!"

"Is this really a fight between children?"

"Truly spectacular!"

"As expected, now that we're nearing the finals, they're showing their true skills!"

No sooner said than done, a new round of battle unfolded.

Chi-Chi stomped hard on the ground and lunged toward Son Goku.

Son Goku's figure flickered, and just as he dodged Chi-Chi's headbutt, he hadn't yet had the chance to counterattack,
