After the fighters from Universe 7 showed their strength, their opponents' faces tightened. They stopped holding back and brought out their full power, but compared with Goku and the others, they were still a little lacking.
As for Luo Chuan, he was waiting—waiting for Jiren of Universe 11 to make a move, and for the fighters from another universe as well. They had been hiding their strength all this time; in fact, it could even be said that the fighters from those two universes had barely made a move since the tournament began.
But some fighters were not about to let him keep waiting. For example, the fighters from Universe 10, Universe 14, and Universe 15 joined forces to deal with Luo Chuan.
Among them, only one person from Universe 15 took action, while another remained behind—and that person was one of the ones Luo Chuan was willing to wait for.
These fighters revealed their true strength one after another. One fighter's combat power had even reached the upper-middle level of the 10th Dimension.
Luo Chuan was like a slippery loach weaving through their attacks, avoiding each strike by the narrowest of margins every time.
Elsewhere.
Beast Gohan was fighting the twins from Universe 1. Because the twins' coordination was extremely tacit, Gohan was forced onto the defensive for a while.
Ode launched a fierce aerial triple kick. Gohan swung both hands repeatedly, blocking his feet. The moment his opponent landed, he followed with a sweeping kick, but Gohan did not jump to dodge it. Instead, he kicked back.
Bang!!
Ode only felt his leg go numb. He quickly retreated, then touched his shin, which was already red and swollen.
Meanwhile, Og fired off a continuous barrage of energy blasts, unleashing a wave of the prince's tactic.
Energy blasts filled the sky like a torrential downpour. Gohan shouted and condensed a barrier. After a series of explosions, Gohan appeared in the two brothers' sight completely unharmed.
"Sure enough, this won't work, brother. Let's use that move!"
Ode suddenly looked at Og.
Og naturally understood what his younger brother meant. Without much hesitation, the two brothers erupted with aura at the same time, pressed their hands together, and their bodies radiated light. When the lights merged, the fusion warrior Ogude appeared.
Ogude swiftly kicked three times at Gohan, targeting high, middle, and low in rapid succession.
Bang bang bang!!!
Gohan raised his hand and blocked all three kicks, then seized the timing and drove a front kick straight out, striking Ogude in the chest and sending him flying.
After retreating several hundred steps, Ogude suddenly raised both hands. A ball of energy gathered in his palms, swelling rapidly. Then he roared and hurled the energy ball viciously toward Gohan. Like a meteor, the energy ball tore through space and charged at Gohan with unstoppable force.
Gohan bent his legs slightly, storing power. The instant the energy ball was about to hit him, he moved like a bolt of purple lightning and vanished from where he stood.
The energy ball struck the spot where Gohan had originally been standing, triggering a massive explosion. A huge crater was blasted into the arena floor, and shattered stones flew everywhere.
The next second, Gohan appeared behind Ogude. His right fist clenched tight, the muscles on his arm bulging and flickering with purple light. He suddenly punched out, carrying a whistling gust of wind as he smashed straight toward the back of Ogude's head.
Ogude sensed the attack behind him and swiftly flashed left. Gohan's fist brushed past his ear, and the powerful wind from the punch blew his hair wildly in all directions.
Ogude took the chance to turn around. His hands moved rapidly, tracing streaks of energy through the air and forming a complex net of energy that enveloped Gohan.
Gohan pushed with force, shoving an energy shield toward Ogude. As the shield flew, it kept spinning, and it also absorbed the energy from his opponent's net, rapidly growing larger. Seeing this, Ogude clasped his hands together, then suddenly pulled them apart to both sides. Two enormous beams of energy erupted from between his hands and charged straight at the incoming energy shield.
The two collided once again, triggering an even more violent explosion. The impact from the blast knocked both Gohan and Ogude back several steps.
But Gohan did not stop there. Using the force of his retreat, he rapidly spun in midair, his legs like a pair of high-speed rotating propellers as they kicked toward Ogude with a purple glow.
Ogude had no time to dodge and could only raise both arms, crossing them in front of his chest to defend.
Gohan's legs slammed hard into Ogude's arms with a dull impact. The tremendous force made Ogude's feet plow two deep trenches across the arena, and his body was kicked backward, sliding several thousand meters.
"Hmph!" Gohan snorted, increasing his speed a little. As his figure flickered, afterimages appeared one after another.
He unleashed a flurry of combination punches, each one carrying tremendous force. The wind of his fists howled as they poured down on Ogude like a rainstorm.
Ogude crossed his arms and desperately blocked them. Each block shook his arms numb, but he forcibly endured it with his powerful strength. He even seized an opening to grab Gohan's fist and threw him out with a forceful swing.
Gohan adjusted his posture in midair, landed steadily on both feet, and took a deep breath. His aura surged again. With a furious roar, he charged at Ogude once more. Ogude refused to show weakness either. The muscles across his body bulged, and he rushed forward to meet Gohan head-on.
The two collided instantly. Fists and feet clashed, producing heavy, muffled impacts, and each collision made the ground tremble violently.
Gohan sidestepped behind Ogude and slammed his right elbow backward. Ogude had no time to turn around and could only take the blow with his back. The powerful impact made him stagger forward several steps, but he immediately steadied himself, turned, and threw a straight punch at Gohan's chest.
Gohan grabbed Ogude's fist with both hands and twisted hard. Ogude cried out in pain, then swiftly drove his knee upward toward Gohan's chin. Gohan was forced to let go and tilt his head back to dodge the strike.
Just like that, the two traded blows back and forth, locked in a fierce deadlock.
Gohan's attacks grew increasingly ferocious. More wildness and instinct blended into his boxing, every punch carrying the determination to bring Ogude down. Ogude, relying on the strength of his fusion, skillfully dealt with Gohan's attacks and could even launch sharp counterattacks from time to time.
As the battle continued, both of them suffered some injuries to varying degrees.
Several parts of Gohan's clothes were torn, but his eyes grew even more feral. Ogude, meanwhile, was no longer as relaxed as he had been when the fusion first began. His breathing had become heavy, and bruises and scrapes had appeared on his body.
It's time to end this! Gohan thought. He suddenly leaped back, opening a distance from Ogude.
Then he placed both hands at his waist and rapidly gathered energy. A blue energy wave quickly formed and continuously grew larger, distorting even the surrounding air with its tremendous power.
"Super Kamehameha!" Gohan roared, thrusting both hands forward. The blue energy wave swept toward Ogude like a raging tide.
Ogude felt the immense energy, and a grave look appeared on his face. He planted his feet firmly and pushed both hands forward, trying to block this astonishingly powerful attack.
The energy wave met Ogude's hands, producing dazzling light and a deafening roar.
Ogude slid backward continuously, his feet plowing two trenches through the arena, but he still gritted his teeth and held on, not being directly blown away by the energy.
Seeing this, Gohan increased his energy output.
Under Gohan's powerful energy output, the Super Kamehameha grew even stronger. Ogude finally could not withstand that overwhelming force. His hands were slowly pushed apart, and the energy wave slammed directly into his body.
"Ah!" Ogude let out a scream. His body was swallowed by the energy wave, and then he was blasted away, flying straight out of the arena. By the time he returned to the spectator stands, the fusion had already been undone.
Son Gohan let out a long breath. This battle had drained quite a bit of his energy, so he would have to be more careful in the fights to come.
After all the fighters from Universe 1 were eliminated, the Grand Minister announced it as usual, and then Grand Zeno 1 erased them.
Universe 1's score was 3.6, which meant it could be revived.
The scene returned to Luo Chuan. At that moment, Luo Chuan had one fighter from Universe 10 pinned hard to the ground beneath his foot.
"There aren't many universes left. In that case, it's time for my one-man show."
Luo Chuan grinned, his expression filled with absolute confidence.
