After Son Goku used the Twofold Kaio-ken, his strength had clearly increased.

However, before Wu Fei, it still seemed somewhat insufficient.

Wu Fei could still easily handle Son Goku's attacks.

Bang!

The two clashed head-on, and the impact shook the ground.

Whoosh!

Wu Fei suddenly flashed behind Son Goku, firing an instant Kamehameha directly into his back.

Son Goku failed to dodge in time and was driven toward the ground by the Kamehameha.

Bang!

The energy blast reached the ground and exploded instantly.

Rubble flew everywhere and dust billowed into the air. The destructive power of this energy blast was astonishing.

Seeing Son Goku knocked to the ground again, Krillin and the others could not help but worry.

Cough, cough, cough~

As the smoke dispersed, Son Goku staggered to his feet, his expression filled with pain.

After suffering Wu Fei's fierce attack, coupled with the strain caused by using the Kaio-ken, Son Goku was now injured.

However, he was intensely competitive and unwilling to admit defeat just like that.

Aah!

Threefold Kaio-ken!

Son Goku's expression was now one of extreme pain.

He had finally used his greatest trump card—the Threefold Kaio-ken.

At the same time, the Threefold Kaio-ken was also his limit.

Son Goku launched another attack on Wu Fei.

Bang!

The two became entangled in battle once more, trading a brutal barrage of flesh-on-flesh blows.

After using the Threefold Kaio-ken, Son Goku's strength had surpassed Wu Fei's normal state.

In this exchange, Son Goku gradually gained the upper hand.

After gaining a slight advantage, Son Goku further intensified his offensive.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After throwing several consecutive punches, Son Goku swept a kick at Wu Fei.

He had put all his strength into this attack.

He was absolutely confident that he could knock Wu Fei back.

Bang!

Son Goku's kick landed solidly on Wu Fei.

"What?"

Son Goku could not believe it at all.

Not only had he failed to kick Wu Fei away, but the rebound force sent him stumbling backward again and again!

When Son Goku finally steadied himself, he discovered that Wu Fei's aura had surged dramatically.

A dark-red glow now surrounded Wu Fei as well.

It was exactly the same as his own!

"You know the Kaio-ken too?" Son Goku cried out.

"Of course!"

Hearing Wu Fei's reply, the doubt in Son Goku's heart was finally resolved.

While he had been on his way here earlier, he had noticed an abnormally powerful fluctuation of energy.

Now it seemed that it had been the ki released after Wu Fei used the Kaio-ken!

Whoosh!

At that moment, Wu Fei's figure flashed, and he was already in front of Son Goku.

"So fast!"

Son Goku was greatly astonished.

Seeing Wu Fei about to throw a punch, Son Goku immediately assumed a defensive stance.

Bang!

Son Goku crossed his arms in front of himself, bracing against Wu Fei's attack.

Yet before absolute power, Son Goku's defense appeared exceedingly frail.

Even though Wukong's defense was solid, Wu Fei still knocked him back.

Bang!

The tremendous impact sent Wukong crashing through a mountain peak.

Whoosh!

Before Wukong even hit the ground, Wu Fei's next attack had already arrived.

Bang!

Wu Fei kicked Wukong flying.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Having seized the initiative, Wu Fei continued his assault, while Wukong could only barely hold out.

Bang!

Son Goku made one misstep and was knocked to the ground by Wu Fei again.

Once Wu Fei activated Kaio-ken, Wukong was clearly no match for him.

Still, Wukong truly could take a beating. Even after suffering Wu Fei's ferocious barrage, he was still able to stand back up.

Though he was now covered in wounds, his fighting spirit had not faded. His eyes still burned with battle intent!

"Aah!"

Wukong had no intention of stopping there. Instead, he continued gathering energy.

A pained expression immediately crossed his face, while his bones crackled audibly.

"Wukong! Stop!"

At the same time, King Kai, far away on King Kai's Planet, was extremely worried.

"You can't increase the Kaio-ken multiplier any further!" King Kai continued urging him.

However, Wukong did not listen to King Kai and kept gathering energy.

"Stop! If this continues, your body will be ruined!"

King Kai was frantic now.

No one understood Wukong's condition better than King Kai.

Given Wukong's physical constitution, Threefold Kaio-ken was already his limit.

If he forcibly used Fourfold Kaio-ken, although his strength would rise dramatically, the backlash would also be extremely severe.

Even King Kai could not predict what consequences it would bring!

But Wukong was not thinking about any of that right now.

All he wanted was to fight Wu Fei with everything he had!

"Aah~"

Wukong let out a roar and finally finished gathering energy.

The dark red aura around him deepened further, and the energy he gave off became even more violent.

He had now broken through his limits and unleashed Fourfold Kaio-ken.

"Again!"

Wukong launched another attack at Wu Fei.

Bang!

Without changing expression, Wu Fei continued fighting Son Goku.

Wukong's strength had increased further, but one should not forget that there was an absolute gap in power between Wu Fei and Son Goku.

Son Goku's base battle power was only 8,000, while Wu Fei's base battle power was as high as 20,000.

Most importantly, Wu Fei could use Tenfold Kaio-ken!

However, Wu Fei did not go all out. Instead, he gradually raised the intensity of their clash.

Through his battle with Wukong, Wu Fei's combat experience also continued to improve.

Bang!

With a single elbow strike, Wu Fei smashed Wukong straight into a mountain range.

The mountainside instantly collapsed, burying Son Goku beneath it.

"Dad!"

"Wukong!"

Gohan, Krillin, and the others hurriedly flew over, wanting to check on Wukong.

Yet just as they were about to approach.

"Ahhh!"

A shout rang through the heavens.

The huge rocks burying Son Goku's body blasted outward.

Those boulders carried immense force. If Gohan, Krillin, and the others had not dodged in time, they would likely have been seriously injured!

Son Goku now stood in the crater, his aura rising even further.

Fivefold Kaio-ken!

Son Goku had broken through his limits once again!

"As expected, the harder you shout, the faster you break through!" Wu Fei remarked.

Son Goku had now completely ignored the burden Kaio-ken placed on his body. All he wanted was to fight Wu Fei.

However, even with the Fivefold Kaio-ken activated, Son Goku was still no match for Wu Fei.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two figures flickered ceaselessly.

Piccolo and the others could not see their movements at all.

Yet the mountains constantly collapsing around them showed just how fiercely they were fighting.

Krillin and the others were also extremely cautious, wary of being badly injured by the aftershocks of their battle.

Bang!

Seizing an opening, Wu Fei punched Goku squarely in the chest.

Son Goku immediately swept out with a kick, but Wu Fei dodged it directly and appeared behind him.

"Kamehameha!"

Wu Fei suddenly unleashed an energy blast, sending Son Goku crashing into the ground.

And Wu Fei had no intention of stopping. Instead, he continued increasing his output.

Son Goku could barely hold it off at first, but gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Bang!

He could no longer resist and was swallowed directly by Wu Fei's Kamehameha.

For a time, the earth shook and the mountains trembled as the ground split apart.

Krillin and the others were forced back again and again by the shockwaves.

Dust billowed into the air, and the smoke lingered for a long while.

Son Goku lay flat on his back, barely able to open his eyes. His aura was now exceedingly weak.

Clearly, after taking Wu Fei's powerful Kamehameha, Goku no longer had the strength to fight.

Son Goku had lost this sparring match completely!
