Light Victory Over Krillin, Great Ape Perfection, Black Golden Ape Form At Will

The mid-match break ended, and the martial arts arena referee took the stage once more, loudly announcing the matchups for the round of thirty-two.

"Fifteenth match of the round of thirty-two, Ring Seven—Qi Tian versus Krillin. Begin!"

As his words fell, every gaze in the arena converged on Ring Seven.

On one side stood Qi Tian, the mysterious youth who had remained undefeated throughout the preliminaries, his moves simple yet impossible to counter. On the other was Krillin, Master Roshi's gifted disciple, nimble and agile in his movements. This match between fellow disciples had become the most anticipated battle of the round.

Krillin leaped onto the ring and assumed the Turtle School's opening stance. His energy surged at full force, his battle power climbing to 1480, his expression incomparably solemn.

After Master Roshi's careful instruction, Krillin's fists and kicks were disciplined and refined, balanced in both offense and defense. He was far more troublesome than any preliminary opponent and was currently the strongest adversary Qi Tian had encountered in the elimination rounds.

"I won't hold back. I'm going to defeat you and prove myself!" Krillin said in a low voice. His tail had long since been cut off by the monks of Orin Temple, leaving him free of any Great Ape danger and allowing his full battle power to be unleashed without restraint.

Qi Tian slowly stepped into the center of the ring. He still suppressed his battle power to 500, relying purely on physical combat without using any trump cards. "Just give it everything you have."

The spectators below held their breath. Bulma clenched her fists as she watched nervously, while Yamcha stared intently at the moves on the ring, hoping to learn from their battle and improve his own martial arts.

Master Roshi gripped the railing, his gaze sharp beneath his sunglasses as he tracked every inch of Qi Tian's exertion, ready to point out flaws in his techniques at any moment.

The referee dropped his flag!

Krillin exploded forward in an instant. His footwork was nimble and unpredictable as he circled Qi Tian, moving into position. His long leg swept low, targeting Qi Tian's lower body with tricky, lightning-fast attacks. Every strike was one of Orin Temple's deadly kicking techniques.

His leg tore through the air, fierce and intimidating!

With the boost from Flaw Insight, every movement and attack trajectory Krillin made appeared almost frozen in Qi Tian's eyes.

Qi Tian shifted his feet lightly, evading every kick with perfect precision. His posture remained effortless and composed, without the slightest trace of panic.

Krillin launched dozens of fierce attacks in succession, his fists and feet falling like a storm, yet he could not even brush the corner of Qi Tian's clothes. The shock in his heart only deepened.

His all-out assault was actually being toyed with so easily?

"Just dodging won't let you beat me!" Krillin gritted his teeth and retreated. Pale blue energy gathered in his palms, determination flashing in his eyes. "Kamehameha!"

The pale blue energy wave shot straight ahead on a gale, its scorching heat sweeping across the entire ring as it surged directly toward Qi Tian's face.

This was Krillin's strongest move at his current level, enough to severely injure martial artists of the same rank.

Goku cried out from below the ring, "Krillin actually learned the Kamehameha!"

Qi Tian's eyes remained calm. His Physical Resistance specialization passive activated. He neither dodged nor retreated, instead raising a hand to meet the energy wave barehanded.

The pale blue energy blast struck his palm. Sparks flew, and the shockwave burst outward, kicking up clouds of dust.

When the dust cleared, Qi Tian's palm was spotless and unharmed. Even his clothes had not stirred in the airflow. The full force of the energy attack had been absorbed and dissipated by his physical body.

He had taken the Kamehameha without a scratch!

The entire arena fell silent!

Krillin's pupils contracted sharply, his face full of disbelief as most of the strength drained from his body in an instant.

His all-out finishing move could not even break through the other party's defense?

"Good technique. Your energy is too weak."

Qi Tian offered the quiet assessment, then abruptly stepped forward. He closed the distance in an instant, lightly catching Krillin's wrist and giving it a subtle pull to redirect his force.

Krillin's center of gravity completely collapsed, and his body flew uncontrollably out of the ring.

The moment he landed, Krillin knew he had lost. He did not struggle and voluntarily conceded.

"Ring Seven, Qi Tian wins and advances to the round of sixteen!"

Buzz—

The Saiyan bloodline within his body thoroughly boiled and flowed as one. The long tail at his lower back turned warm and scorching, while the scattered Great Ape fragments from the past fused together and became golden bloodline patterns rooted along his spine.

From this day onward, Qi Tian had completely shattered the shackles of his Saiyan bloodline!

He no longer needed moonlight or a tail, and was not restricted by location. With a single thought, he could transform, freely controlling his size. He could become a destructive Great Ape over ten meters tall, or maintain a black-gold ape-man form the size of an ordinary human. His battle power would steadily increase fivefold, his mind remaining perfectly clear and unaffected by any external light waves or emotional manipulation.

The Perfect Great Ape had reached completion!

Qi Tian lowered his gaze to his palm, understanding everything.

With a normal battle power of 7100, transforming into the Myriad-Transformation Black-Gold Great Ape would immediately push his battle power past 35,500. Looking across this martial arts tournament, he could crush every opponent, including Master Roshi in his muscular transformation.

Below the ring, Krillin lowered his head and walked over to Goku, his voice dejected. "Even when I gave it everything I had, I couldn't break through his defense. The gap is too great."

Goku patted Krillin's shoulder, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. "It's okay. I'll be the one to fight him next!"

Next, the Round of 16 began. Goku took the stage against a ninja martial artist and easily won, advancing with his powerful physique and agile footwork.

Thus, the tournament's Round of 16 was set: Qi Tian, Son Goku, and Master Roshi firmly occupied the top three in combat strength.

After the evening draw, the most highly anticipated matchup in the arena was decided—the final Round of 16 match: Son Goku VS Master Roshi.

The classic master-and-disciple showdown from the original story.

As evening fell, the venue was cleared and everyone left to rest. Yamcha took the initiative to seek out Qi Tian, earnestly asking for guidance on improving the Wolf Fang Fist. Qi Tian broke down its methods of exerting force and gave him pointers on using Unity Force, helping Yamcha's combat power break through to 1300.

The Pilaf Gang compiled the combat-power data from the entire arena and ultimately reached one conclusion: Qi Tian was invincible in his normal state, unbeatable in Great Ape form, and had no opponent in this Martial Arts Tournament.

Night shrouded the martial arts arena, moonlight spilling across the tournament platform.

Qi Tian stood alone on the empty stage, his thoughts shifting slightly.

Black-and-gold streams of light flowed around him. His body did not expand dramatically; instead, a dense layer of black-and-gold beast fur covered his skin, golden markings appeared on his forehead, and his figure remained that of a youth. His eyes were deep and indifferent.

The humanoid black-and-gold Great Ape appeared at his will.

His aura was restrained, combining looks and combat power. It was perfectly suited for arena battles and would not cause any damage to the venue.

"So this is the power of a perfected Great Ape."

Qi Tian raised a hand and clenched his fist. His physical strength was full and abundant, every inch of muscle containing destructive power. On the path of pure body cultivation, he no longer had any weaknesses.

Meanwhile, Master Roshi stood by the window, gazing at the moonlight. He had already made up his mind.

In his battle against Goku, he would reveal all his strength—and at the same time, probe Qi Tian's true trump card.

A fated clash between master and disciple would begin tomorrow.
