Dragon Ball: Reborn as a Saiyan, They Covet Me

Furthermore, he had already lived for over three hundred years.

Whether in life or in martial arts, he had been tempered by the passage of time.

He himself had only undergone bitter training for a little over a decade.

Even if his strength was comparable, it meant nothing.

From other dimensions, he was, at best, a wild beast or a brute.

In an instant, a flash of lightning seemed to streak through Son Goku's mind, illuminating his path forward.

Son Goku rejoiced inwardly; he wanted to shout out loud: I have attained enlightenment!

He thought to himself that he would surely learn true substance under Master Roshi, and he had finally achieved that.

This was the true heart of martial arts.

This was the cornerstone that allowed the original Son Goku to constantly grow stronger.

At that very moment, Jackie Chun's foot slammed fiercely into Son Goku's face.

With a "smack," Son Goku felt dizzy and fell straight to the ground.

Jackie Chun retracted his foot and turned to look at the referee.

"Referee, start the count!"

The referee saw Son Goku fall and immediately moved to begin the count.

Unexpectedly, before he could take two steps, Son Goku slapped the ground, leaped up abruptly, and assumed his starting stance once again.

His footing was steady, and his entire spirit and energy were remarkably high.

The referee was overjoyed: "He's up! Contestant Son is back on his feet!"

"It appears that although Son Goku was at a slight disadvantage just a moment ago, he is young after all, and his physical fitness is excellent; he remains full of energy even now.

Meanwhile, old man Jackie Chun has already begun to pant.

It looks like Little Goku is about to take the lead, because contestant Jackie Chun is starting to lack the strength to match his ambitions.

Let us wait and see what happens next!"

Hearing the referee's commentary, Jackie Chun couldn't help but curse: "What, utter nonsense!

To think he would say I lack the strength to match my ambitions!"

As he spoke, Jackie Chun shifted from defense to offense.

His fists turned into countless afterimages, launching a sharp assault toward Son Goku.

In an instant, Son Goku became the one defending and dodging again.

The figures of the two constantly flickered and collided on the ring.

The audience below cheered in succession.

Amidst the switching of offense and defense, Son Goku deeply experienced the joy of battle.

He thought only of how to break the opponent's defense, how to strike his opponent, and how to dodge his opponent's attacks...

In the continuous fighting, Son Goku immediately felt the pressure of the match gradually decreasing.

There was no other reason; first, Jackie Chun's (Master Roshi's) stamina had declined, and second, he himself had improved, gradually adapting to the opponent's moves and habits.

After all, the previous Goku had only ever crushed weaklings and had no opponents to trade blows with.

But Master Roshi was truly extraordinary; despite giving his all, he still hadn't managed to win, and only because of this did he have the opportunity to hone himself.

His own stamina remained abundant.

As long as the battle continued like this, victory would be within his grasp.

This fight had truly allowed Son Goku to reap significant rewards.

Only by throwing oneself heart and soul into it, without thinking of the consequences of victory or defeat, could one constantly break through oneself in battle.

In order not to let down his teacher's good intentions, Son Goku intended to stop there.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jackie Chun suddenly turned serious.

"It is a pity, but you are destined to lose this match!"

"In the past, only one person forced me to use this ultimate technique; now, you are the second."

Son Goku's gaze sharpened.

Good grief, is that the Thunder Shock Surprise?

Son Goku seemed to recall something.

He suddenly looked up.

The sun was setting in the west, and a full moon hung high in the sky.

Fortunately, his tail had not grown back yet.

Son Goku breathed a sigh of relief.

He stopped looking at the moon and turned his attention to Jackie Chun.

As Jackie Chun shouted, "Thunder Shock Surprise!", a golden current suddenly engulfed Son Goku's entire body.

In an instant, he felt intense pain racking his whole body.

His arms and legs felt paralyzed by the Thunder Shock Surprise, and his ki was suppressed, leaving him completely unable to muster the strength to resist.

While maintaining the Thunder Shock Surprise, Master Roshi said:

"Although I cannot move while using the Thunder Shock Surprise, neither can you. However, once hit by this technique, you will suffer excruciating pain, and if it continues for too long, you could even die! Surrender quickly, or you will lose your life!"

Son Goku had not intended to hold out and wanted to forfeit immediately.

But to surrender simply because he couldn't bear the pain of this magical attack would make him seem lacking in perseverance.

I'll hold on a little longer before I forfeit!

At that moment, Son Goku suddenly felt a tightening in his rear.

A hole tore in his pants, and his tail sprouted at that very moment.

Son Goku cursed his luck.

Controlled by this technique that swept through his body like an electric current, he had no way to properly restrain himself.

"I surr—"

Before he could finish the word "surrender," it felt as if a powerful pulse struck his heart.

In an instant, he lost consciousness.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Son Goku transformed into a Great Ape.

The spectators and the referee were all shocked.

"Wow!"

"What an amazing transformation technique!"

Cold sweat broke out on the referee's forehead as he exclaimed, "Ah, what is happening? Contestant Son Goku suddenly grew a tail, and now he has transformed into a giant ape."

Cold sweat also appeared on Jackie Chun's forehead.

"Damn it, his power after transforming is too great; even my Thunder Shock Surprise is no longer effective."

Having transformed into a Great Ape, Son Goku broke free from the control of the Thunder Shock Surprise and immediately began to wreak havoc.

Krillin and Chi-Chi stepped forward immediately.

"Goku, stop the transformation, it's too dangerous!"

"Yeah, Goku, stop transforming!"

Just then, Bulma revealed the secret of the transformation.

"This isn't a technique; whenever he sees a full moon, he loses his sanity and turns into a giant ape, destroying everything in his path."

The referee said in surprise, "In that case, I have no choice but to abandon my post and hide!"

Hearing Bulma's words, Jackie Chun was startled.

He looked up at the sky and saw that, sure enough, a full moon was hanging there even though it wasn't fully dark yet.

Seeing the rampaging Great Ape, he quickly formulated a plan.

"In that case, there is only one way to solve this problem!"

The next instant, Master Roshi stripped off his clothes, his ki condensed, and his muscles expanded in a flash.

Bulma, already knowing the outcome, did not act rashly but looked up at the full moon.

It seemed as if he were bidding farewell, saying, "Moon, you shouldn't have come out!"

The next instant, a brilliant light flared between Jackie Chun's hands.

"Ka-me-ha-me-ha!"

A full-power Kamehameha erupted violently.

The intense gale forced everyone around the arena to shield their eyes.

With a deafening "BOOM!", the Great Ape vanished into thin air.

Even the dilapidated shack behind the tournament stage collapsed.

Krillin and Chi-Chi both came running over.

"Goku!"

"Where did Goku go?"

Krillin looked left and right, unable to spot Goku's figure.

A chill ran down his spine: "Did Little Goku die?"

Chi-Chi, also unable to see Goku, was struck with immense grief.

She trembled, pointing at Jackie Chun and crying out, "You monster, you killed Goku! I'm going to take revenge on you!"

As she spoke, Chi-Chi and Krillin prepared to charge at Jackie Chun.

Jackie Chun's heart skipped a beat.

"Wait, he's not dead!"
