Fortunately, Son Gohan had soundproofed the area.
The tremendous noise couldn't reach Zeno. Otherwise, it might have displeased him.
In the stands, Maron waved her cheering sticks and shouted encouragement to Krillin, her daughter joining in.
Back in the Arena.
At the referee's call to begin, the fights started across the individual rings.
Ring 1.
Krillin and Yamcha both took defensive stances, watching each other and waiting for the other to strike first.
They had trained under the same master and knew each other's moves inside out, so surprise attacks rarely worked.
After a few seconds of staring, Yamcha lost patience first.
He stamped his right foot hard against the ring and lunged like a savage wolf, charging toward Krillin at tremendous speed.
In an instant, he appeared directly in front of Krillin and threw a simple hook at the side of his face.
"Nice one," Krillin said with a calm smile, ducking beneath Yamcha's hook.
His short stature helped considerably, but his lightning-fast reflexes played a part too.
As Yamcha's punch missed and his momentum carried him forward, Krillin swept out a leg from his crouched position.
The sudden leg sweep knocked Yamcha off his feet. He landed face-first and rolled away.
Meanwhile, the fights in Rings 2 and 3 had already ended.
The loser in Ring 2 had been knocked out of the ring.
In Ring 3, one fighter had attacked his opponent, only to be knocked unconscious by the recoil.
Two fighters from Earth were battling in Ring 4. They were still exchanging blows, and the fight looked fierce, with no winner yet.
In Rings 5 and 6, fighters from other universes faced native Earth fighters. Both matches ended in a single blow, with the off-world fighters winning.
Krillin and Yamcha's battle had also reached a fever
