The finals officially began, and Goku and Jackie Chun faced each other.
At the announcer's command, Goku rushed toward Jackie Chun, and the two immediately exchanged blows.
Every one of Goku's punches carried tremendous power. Jackie Chun gradually realized that his strength was no match for Goku's and was forced back again and again.
He was secretly shocked. He had never expected Goku's strength to grow so quickly.
Facing Goku's pressure, Jackie Chun decisively retreated, clasped his hands together, and gathered his energy, poised to strike.
"Kamehameha!" he shouted in a low voice as a Ki Wave suddenly shot toward Goku.
Goku refused to be outdone. Planting his feet firmly, he gathered energy between his palms and shouted as well, "Kamehameha!"
His imposing Ki Wave charged straight into Jackie Chun's attack.
The two powerful Ki Waves met at the center of the ring. Their collision unleashed a deafening explosion, and dazzling light illuminated the entire arena, forcing the spectators to cover their eyes.
Jackie Chun was blasted backward by the impact, lost his balance, and fell onto the ring. Goku only took a few steps back before abruptly steadying himself.
Jackie Chun climbed to his feet, deeply shaken.
Looking at Goku, he could not help but sigh inwardly. I never thought Goku had already surpassed me, his master...
Jackie Chun suddenly accelerated and unleashed his signature technique, Afterimage Fist. In an instant, countless afterimages of Jackie Chun appeared across the ring, leaving the audience below dumbfounded.
Goku smiled slightly at the sight and used Afterimage Fist as well.
Goku's figure flashed rapidly across the ring, moving even faster than Jackie Chun.
Jackie Chun was instantly overwhelmed by Goku's speed, his eyes dazzled by the blur.
Just as one of Jackie Chun's afterimages vanished, Goku's real body appeared directly in front of him, his fist slamming fiercely into Jackie Chun's chest.
Jackie Chun was knocked to the ground by the tremendous force, defeated once again.
Bulma, Krillin, and Yamcha all cheered for Goku from below the ring.
Bulma waved both hands excitedly, Krillin jumped up in excitement, and Yamcha sighed in amazement. "Goku has gotten this strong already!"
Jackie Chun decided to use his trump card—Drunken Fist.
His body swayed unsteadily, as though he were about to fall over.
The audience below watched without blinking, captivated by Jackie Chun's unique Drunken Fist stance.
Goku stepped back and carefully observed Jackie Chun's footwork. He sharply spotted a flaw in his steps, then suddenly lashed out with a heavy kick that struck Jackie Chun with perfect accuracy, sending him flying across the ring again.
The spectators below cried out in shock, while Krillin and Yamcha stared wide-eyed.
Jackie Chun struggled to his feet and could not help sighing inwardly. That kid Goku's eyesight and Power Level are truly astonishing.
Having been knocked down repeatedly by Goku, Jackie Chun secretly lamented his misery. As his master, he was truly unwilling to lose the match like this.
To salvage his pride, he decided to use his personal ultimate move—Hypnosis Technique.
Jackie Chun began slowly moving in front of Goku, carrying a mysterious force as he tried to guide Goku's mind into gradually relaxing and entering a hypnotic state.
However, Goku's gaze was sharp. He immediately saw through Jackie Chun's intentions and, just as Jackie Chun used his technique, suddenly threw a punch forward, striking fiercely and powerfully toward Jackie Chun's chest.
"Bang!"
Jackie Chun was directly knocked to the ground by the force of Goku's punch. He barely got back up, an awkward smile appearing on his face. "Well, well, Goku. You're surprisingly alert, kid."
Goku smiled and scratched his head. "Old man, I saw through those tricks a long time ago!"
Jackie Chun gathered all his energy, and intense currents of electricity gradually converged between his palms, crackling loudly.
His entire aura instantly became incomparably sharp.
He shouted, "Goku! This is my ultimate trump card—World Shaking Palm!"
Standing opposite him, Goku looked grave. He could clearly sense Jackie Chun's energy continuously rising, as though his body contained limitless power. He could not take this attack head-on.
As Jackie Chun fiercely swung his palm, World Shaking Palm surged toward Goku along with intense electrical currents.
Goku reacted swiftly. With a flash, he vanished from where he stood and used his speed to evade Jackie Chun's attack.
The shockwave from the electrical current whipped up a violent gale across the ring, making even its edges tremble slightly.
Goku continued moving rapidly across the ring, while Jackie Chun's palm strikes missed time and again, leaving him somewhat out of breath.
"Goku's speed is really getting faster and faster!"
The audience below watched without blinking. Krillin and Yamcha clenched their fists nervously, while Bulma shouted in terror, "Goku, keep it up!"
As Goku dodged Jackie Chun's attacks, he secretly calculated the right moment to strike. Jackie Chun's ultimate technique was powerful, but it consumed an enormous amount of stamina.
As long as he waited for an opportunity, he would be able to find Jackie Chun's opening.
Seeing World Shaking Palm miss repeatedly, Jackie Chun had no choice but to withdraw his palm force.
He secretly thought that Goku's speed had surpassed all imagination. Continuing to use Ki techniques would likely have little effect.
So, he assumed a fighting stance and shouted at Goku, "Looks like we can only settle this with our fists and feet!"
Goku nodded, replying with a hint of excitement, "Come on, old man!"
As they faced off once more, the atmosphere grew so tense that the air itself seemed frozen.
Jackie Chun launched his attack, his fierce fist wind shooting straight at Goku.
Goku swiftly blocked. Their fists, legs, and feet collided continuously, producing dull impacts across the ring.
Jackie Chun was indeed a battle-hardened master. His punches were fast and precise, every strike aimed directly at a vital point.
But with his agile movements and quick reactions, Goku deftly dodged and occasionally seized chances to counterattack, forcing Jackie Chun back.
Jackie Chun grew more shocked the longer they fought. "Goku truly is my prized disciple!"
Immersed in the battle, Goku suddenly caught a gap in Jackie Chun's defense. He threw a fierce punch that struck precisely at Jackie Chun's side.
Jackie Chun froze for a moment, but immediately steadied himself. A gratified smile appeared on his face. "Not bad, kid! But it's not over yet!"
The two traded blows in a fierce battle across the ring.
Goku held a slight advantage through speed, but Jackie Chun repeatedly turned danger into safety with his extensive experience. For a time, neither could gain the upper hand, and the audience watched without blinking.
After fighting for several hours, Jackie Chun felt his stamina nearing its limit and said, "Goku, let's decide the winner with one move!"
Jackie Chun bent his legs slightly, and the muscles throughout his body instantly bulged. He transformed into a muscular powerhouse and shouted, "Goku, this Kamehameha is the full extent of my strength!"
Goku understood that this was the most crucial strike. He likewise gathered all his energy between his palms, and his aura erupted, making the ground around him begin to tremble slightly. The two looked at each other and understood that this attack would decide the victor.
"Ka—me—ha—me—ha!"
Jackie Chun and Goku shouted the name of the technique almost simultaneously, thrusting out two dazzling Ki Waves. The two powerful energies collided violently at the center of the ring. The shockwave instantly tore through the air, and deafening thunderous roars echoed throughout the arena as the ring floor began to crack and fragments scattered in every direction.
A few seconds later, the light gradually faded and the dust slowly settled.
Goku was still standing at the edge of the ring, while Jackie Chun had been blasted out of it and lay on the ground, a gratified smile on his face.
The referee raised Goku's arm and announced, "The match is over. Son Goku is the champion!"
The audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers. Bulma, Krillin, and Yamcha also happily cheered for Goku.
Smiling, the announcer handed Goku a bulging bag filled with five hundred thousand in cash.
Goku took the bag. It was not light, and the thickness of the bills inside surprised him somewhat.
After the Martial Arts Tournament ended, Goku, Krillin, Bulma, and Yamcha waited for Master Roshi outside the venue.
At that moment, Master Roshi was hurriedly changing back into his usual outfit in the bushes nearby.
The thought that Goku had actually defeated him had shattered his dream of using the prize money to enjoy himself.
A moment later, Master Roshi walked up to them as if nothing had happened and chuckled. "Hehe, sorry to keep you waiting! I was watching the match inside, but there were too many people and we got separated."
Bulma glared at Master Roshi. "Where exactly did you run off to? We couldn't find you anywhere."
Master Roshi hurriedly brushed it aside. "Ah, I was just wandering around!"
At that moment, Bulma smiled and suggested, "Anyway, Goku won the championship today, so let's all go celebrate! My treat!"
Goku's eyes lit up at once. "Really? Then I'm ordering lots of delicious food!"
Krillin and Yamcha eagerly agreed. Though Master Roshi was still thinking about the prize money, he readily agreed as well.
Talking and laughing, the group headed toward the restaurant.
