Goku looked at the moon overhead, and his consciousness suddenly began to scatter. His pupils started turning pink.
Watching this scene, Ye Bai suddenly remembered something. He turned to look behind him, where a bright full moon was slowly rising in the distant sky. His pupils focused, his blood began to boil, and his muscles slowly expanded and contracted.
Bulma, Oolong, and the others below the stage saw this and immediately cried out in despair. Master Roshi still did not understand the severity of the situation.
After desperately forcing his eyes away, Ye Bai struggled to suppress the savagery about to surge from his bloodline. His aura burst forth, and the pressure of 130,000 battle power crushed everyone below the stage to the ground. Only Master Roshi managed to remain half-kneeling as he stared at Ye Bai on the stage, his eyes filled with shock as he muttered, "H-How could there be such a powerful human?"
After Ye Bai desperately calmed the boiling sensation in his blood, he looked toward Goku, who had transformed into a giant ape and was staring at Ye Bai warily.
Ye Bai stopped pretending. He withdrew his aura and slowly rose into the air until he was level with Goku's head, looking into the giant ape's eyes. They were filled with savagery and the urge to destroy everything.
Ye Bai raised his right hand and pressed it downward. The giant ape Goku had become was instantly slammed flat against the ground by a powerful invisible force. Ye Bai raised his left hand and, guided by instinct, reached toward the moon in the sky. An even more terrifying power gathered in his hand. A blue energy sphere formed and compressed in Ye Bai's left palm before shooting into the heavens. The blue light once again stabbed painfully into everyone's eyes. Then came a thunderous BOOM. As the blue light faded, everyone slowly opened their eyes and looked in the direction Ye Bai's left hand had pointed.
"The moon... the moon is gone!"
Bulma was the first to react. She hurriedly looked toward where Goku had been on the stage, and only let out a breath of relief when she saw him lying naked on the platform.
After recovering from the shocking scene before him, the referee shouted into the microphone.
"Contestant Ye Bai! Contestant Ye Bai has defeated contestant Son Goku's special move! Contestant Ye Bai destroyed the moon and broke contestant Son Goku's special move! Contestant Son Goku has fallen! According to the rules, we will now begin the count!"
Perhaps the announcer's voice was too loud and woke Goku up. Goku slowly opened his eyes, pushed himself upright with both hands, then sat cross-legged. After rubbing his eyes, he looked at Ye Bai.
"What happened? Xiaobai, why did I fall asleep?"
Ye Bai looked speechlessly at the adorably clueless Goku before saying, "Whatever. Goku, do you still want to keep fighting?"
"Yeah, whatever, hahaha." Goku scratched his head, then sprang to his feet and said, "No more fighting. Um, Mr. Referee, I surrender."
"Are you sure, contestant Goku?"
"Yep!"
"Very well! Let us give a round of applause to twelve-year-old contestant Son Goku and thank him for bringing us such a spectacular match!"
Led by the announcer, the audience below the stage applauded Goku.
"Contestant Son has done his best! And now, please give another warm round of applause to our champion, contestant Ye Bai!"
With that, the announcer grabbed Ye Bai's left hand and raised it. Even louder applause erupted throughout the venue. The announcer ran off the stage, brought out the prize money, and handed it to Ye Bai.
"Contestant Ye Bai, this is the prize money for this competition—five hundred thousand yuan."
"Thank you."
After saying that, Ye Bai walked to the edge of the stage and jumped down. Goku hurried over and asked, "Xiaobai, how did you train? Why are you so strong?"
"Goku, you have your own way of training. My method isn't suitable for you right now."
"When the time is right, I'll tell you how I trained."
Ye Bai turned to Goku as he spoke. It was not that he did not want to tell Goku, but the Gravity Chamber was not suitable for Goku at the moment. He had his own path, and Gravity Chamber training was better suited to Goku after he had grown up.
Moreover, Ye Bai could already feel that the Gravity Chamber had little effect on him now. His body seemed to have reached its limit as well, and he lacked combat experience and much basic knowledge.
"I see. All right, then."
Goku did not dwell on it. The two walked out of the arena side by side, where everyone was waiting at the entrance. Seeing them emerge, they gathered around.
"Xiaobai, I have no idea how you trained, but you're so strong now," Krillin said with a sigh.
"It was the Gravity Chamber. Xiaobai trained in the Gravity Chamber," Bulma answered Krillin's question.
"Krillin, Yamcha, you two can use the Gravity Chamber to train at Master Roshi's place. Ask Bulma whether she can lend it to you," Ye Bai said directly, without denying it.
"The Gravity Chamber, huh? You young people certainly have ideas. Still, Xiaobai, just how strong are you now? You feel unfathomable," Master Roshi said gravely from the side.
"As for my strength... if we measure it by ki, I'm probably around a thousand times stronger than Goku," Ye Bai said after doing a quick calculation.
"A thousand times?"
Everyone stared blankly at Ye Bai. Just then, Goku's stomach rumbled, and Bulma finally said, "I'll treat you all to a feast to celebrate your good rankings."
Ye Bai naturally had no objection. After all, this little rich girl was not someone he could compare to, and his prize money might not even be enough to cover his and Goku's meal.
At an upscale-looking restaurant, Goku and Ye Bai ate like they were competing in an eating contest while everyone else watched from the side. Only after the two let out satisfied burps did Ye Bai, looking content, ask Master Roshi for the location of Korin Tower. Then everyone began to part ways.
"Xiaobai, you're not coming back with me?" Bulma asked as she stood between Krillin and Yamcha.
"No. I have another opportunity for training. This time, it'll probably take a long while. Goodbye, Bulma. Goodbye, everyone." Ye Bai slowly rose into the air. After speaking, he waved, turned around, and flew westward.
