Vegeta's Pride as a Prince!

"You bastard, your punches are really heavy. I felt like my body was about to be shattered by you just now," Yamcha said, supporting himself as he stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with an admiring look.

He now understood the difference in strength between himself and Tien Shinhan. The other was more than just a little stronger than him.

"Your attacks weren't bad either. The Wolf Fang Fist's offense is much fiercer than before." Tien Shinhan once again adopted a fighting stance, "Let's continue, Yamcha!"

Just when everyone thought that the great battle was about to break out again, Yamcha made a move that surprised everyone.

"Spare me, I don't want to take a few more of your punches." Yamcha shook his head with a smile, then shifted his gaze to the Blonde Referee and said, "Referee, I give up."

As soon as the words came out, not only was Tien Shinhan stunned, but even the Blonde Referee was surprised, and everyone in the waiting area backstage was extremely surprised.

Yamcha actually took the initiative to admit defeat.

However, for the current Yamcha, admitting defeat is not shameful. After understanding the gap between his strength and his opponent's, he will go back and work hard to continue training and make up for his shortcomings. That is his current pursuit.

Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is not having the courage to face failure.

Yamcha obviously thought it through very thoroughly. If he were to be discouraged by a small setback, that would be a real failure.

"Due to the active abandonment of the competition by Yamcha, the winner of this match... is Tien Shinhan!" The Blonde Referee, who had recovered, immediately shouted loudly, declaring Tien Shinhan's victory.

With the Blonde Referee's order, the audience, which had been silent, burst into bursts of clamor.

From the initial disappointment to anger, and then seeing this shocking duel, everyone's passion had been ignited.

For ordinary people, this World Martial Arts Tournament made them subconsciously understand that they had not come in vain.

At least such a wonderful and subversive battle did not disappoint them.

On the ring, Tien Shinhan and Yamcha smiled at each other and left the stage at the same time.

"Are you okay? You look like you're seriously injured, Yamcha." Tien Shinhan joked.

"It's just a skin injury, nothing to worry about. Although you won this time, it won't necessarily be the case next time. Wait for me to defeat you, Tien Shinhan." Yamcha knew that Tien Shinhan was encouraging him, and he let out some harsh words.

"Then I'll wait and see..."

...

The two returned to the backstage.

Before anyone could speak, Puar, who had been here all along, flew up to him at the first moment and said with concern, "Lord Yamcha, are you alright?"

As Yamcha's partner, Puar is really loyal.

"It's okay, it's alright." Yamcha waved his hand.

He really didn't suffer any serious injuries, just a lot of consumption.

After Puar, everyone surrounded him, caring about Yamcha's injuries and praising the strength of the two.

Faced with everyone's praise, Yamcha and Tien Shinhan couldn't help but blush.

In the end, the two could only humbly say that their strength was far from enough, and they would have to work harder to cultivate in the future.

The intermission time passed quickly.

The next game also continued.

After Yamcha and Tien Shinhan, there were two more matches between ordinary people.

It's not worth paying attention to, but the audience is quite satisfied.

Because the impact brought by the match between Tien Shinhan and Yamcha has not dissipated for a long time.

One thing worth mentioning is that the fear of those ordinary contestants for Yamcha and Tien Shinhan has almost reached its peak, and they don't even dare to take a look.

Obviously, they don't want to meet them even if they are beaten to death. Whoever meets them in the next round can just admit defeat.

The tenth game after the ninth game is another focus battle.

After all, it is a duel between Piccolo and Master Roshi.

Honestly, everyone was sweating for Master Roshi in this game.

The gap is too big.

Master Roshi, however, wasn't worried at all.

He calmly walked onto the arena to face his mortal enemy, as if confronting death itself.

Piccolo found it unbelievable and gained a new perspective on Master Roshi.

Their eyes met, Piccolo trying his best to remain calm, while Master Roshi's eyes were bright, as if he had seen through the world.

"The match, begin!"

With the Blonde Referee's command, the match officially began.

Knowing the extraordinary nature of Master Roshi and Piccolo, the Blonde Referee tactfully retreated outside the arena, fearing being caught in the crossfire of the experts' battle.

Neither Master Roshi nor Piccolo acted immediately.

They were still sizing each other up. Master Roshi could feel immense pressure from Piccolo's eyes.

The difference in strength was self-evident, something he had known all along.

Piccolo was the first to speak, provoking him. After all, his previous incarnation had been killed by Master Roshi: "What's wrong? Aren't you going to attack? Or... do you want to forfeit? Old man."

"My strength is indeed far inferior to yours, and this era can no longer accommodate me, but I can't bring myself to admit defeat," Master Roshi said with a slight smile, adopting a fighting stance.

Immediately afterward, a sharp glint flashed in Master Roshi's eyes. The next second, he charged towards Piccolo like an arrow, launching a powerful attack.

Turtle School Fighting Method. Facing the reborn Piccolo, Master Roshi used all his skills from the start.

His Battle Power of 3000 exploded completely, with fierce and continuous attacks. Unfortunately, this level of attack couldn't even break Piccolo's protective aura.

Although only two years had passed, Piccolo was no longer the Piccolo of the past.

After training with Lagar and Nail on Namek, coupled with his own hard work, his Battle Power had long exceeded ten million, far stronger than Master Roshi.

Master Roshi, once considered a great enemy, was now just a weak old man.

Has he grown this much in just two short years? My attacks have no effect on him at all... Master Roshi thought with a myriad of emotions.

The next second, he seemed to sense something and instinctively retreated, quickly distancing himself from Piccolo.

"Hmph! It seems that despite being old, your senses are still quite sharp. I had the idea of knocking you out just now, but I didn't expect you to notice," Piccolo said, appearing cold on the surface, but inwardly quite shocked.

The difference in strength was indeed great, but in terms of realm, Master Roshi was indeed not weak.

"Alas~! Since that's the case, I'll show you my signature move. Piccolo, let me see how much your strength has grown..." Master Roshi's eyes were solemn, and then his muscles swelled, transforming from a frail old man into a muscular powerhouse.

With the change in form, Master Roshi's aura expanded to its limit, and he adopted the stance for the Kamehameha, with azure energy gathering in his palms.

Sensing the energy gathered by Master Roshi, Piccolo stood still, his eyes cold and his expression showing no trace of emotion.

Anyone could see that this was Master Roshi's last gamble.

"Kamehame—ha!!!" With a loud shout, Master Roshi pushed his hands forward, locking onto Piccolo.

In an instant, the violent energy rushed towards Piccolo like a raging beast.

'Boom~~~!!!' A loud noise erupted.

A scene that made everyone feel unbelievable occurred.

Master Roshi's Kamehameha was crushed on the spot by Piccolo's powerful aura when it was still half a meter away from Piccolo, turning into countless energy particles, floating in the surrounding space.

"The ending, as expected, is still like this..." Master Roshi looked at the scattered blue light in the space, his eyes inevitably dimming.

Although he had expected such an ending, it still had a considerable impact on him.

As a grandmaster of his generation, he had now been completely eliminated by this era. Even if he had been chasing all along, he could only fade away...

"Leave the stage! You are no longer my opponent," Suddenly, Piccolo appeared behind Master Roshi at some point and said.

Hearing this, Master Roshi's body trembled.

Piccolo didn't make a move, letting him leave the stage on his own...

The past grievances seemed to be resolved at this moment.

Master Roshi suddenly changed, retracted his aura, looked at Piccolo seriously, and finally sighed, walking off the stage.

Piccolo watched Master Roshi's back, and finally looked at the Blonde Referee.

This duel was Master Roshi's solo show.

Piccolo was merely undergoing Master Roshi's assessment.

"The match is decided! The winner is Piccolo!" the Blonde Referee announced, revealing the outcome of the match.

...

In the waiting area backstage, Krillin and Yamcha hurried forward, and Son Goku as well.

They were naturally worried about Master Roshi's condition, but fortunately, he was unharmed, which relieved everyone.

When Piccolo entered, everyone looked at him with a completely different expression than before.

The initial apprehension and hostility had now disappeared.

Piccolo was indeed no longer the Piccolo who used to kill without blinking an eye.

Otherwise, this wouldn't be the case.

...

The tenth match ended.

The eleventh match followed.

This was another duel between ordinary people, without much to highlight.

However, with the end of the eleventh match, it was Chiaotzu's and Krillin's turn to compete.

The two had sparred countless times in the past, so they knew each other very well.

It could be said that Chiaotzu couldn't gain the slightest advantage against Krillin.

Even though his psychic abilities were indeed quite remarkable, allowing him to fight Krillin despite the difference in power, Chiaotzu's Battle Power was only 2 million, which was too far behind Krillin.

Krillin won, and Chiaotzu lost.

However, they put on a very good fight.

...

As the twelfth match ended, Lagar and Nail also took the stage one after another, and both easily eliminated the ordinary contestants from Earth.

After that, there was another match between ordinary martial artists.

Finally, the main event arrived.

Vegeta VS Nappa!

This was a battle between Saiyans.

Nappa was ready to face Vegeta directly.

Vegeta, on the other hand, was extremely solemn.

After all, the warriors from Earth, whom he had previously looked down upon, had shocked him, and he began to wonder if Nappa's confidence meant that his strength had really improved a lot over the years.

He began to worry that if Nappa surpassed him, how would he have the face to live in the future?

As the final break time ended, Vegeta and Nappa walked out of the backstage area at the Blonde Referee's call, and each stepped onto the arena.

Vegeta and Nappa locked eyes, and their gazes collided.

The aura of the strong expanded invisibly, and the pressure was extremely terrifying.

This caused the referee, who was standing at the edge of the arena, to stiffen instantly, unable to move.

Everyone in the audience also inexplicably felt a sense of oppression, which made the hearts of those nearby beat faster, as if they could foresee that this match would be very unusual.

...

"Vegeta and Nappa... a battle between two Saiyans, I wonder what the outcome of this match will be?" the East Supreme Kai, who was in a corner of the audience, could feel the aura getting stronger and stronger, and spoke.

He was naturally paying attention to these two Saiyans.

Even if they were not as good as Talot and Raditz, they were no longer the small characters they once were.

"Finally, there's another good show to watch, this match should be even more exciting," Old Kai said, stroking his chin with his right hand, looking forward to the battle.

The attendant god, Kibito, remained silent. He also had some feelings, but he didn't express them at this moment.

Having experienced more, he had also realized the power of mortals and no longer underestimated them.

Especially the Saiyans, his view of them could be summarized as: this race is just monstrous! ...

On the other side.

"Lord Champa, are you not planning to watch this duel between Saiyans?" Vados smiled slightly, reminding the God of Destruction Champa beside her.

At this moment, Champa was still as nonchalant as before, not caring at all.

"Tch, it's just this level anyway." Champa didn't care, but glanced over.

As a God of Destruction, he had experienced too many great storms.

Speaking of this level of battle, it was nothing in his eyes.

If someone could really attract his attention, it would only be Talot going all out.

Originally, he just happened to come over to take a look.

...

In the Super VIP room.

Bulma, Tarola, Gine, Whis, Son Gohan, Launch, Treep, and others also perked up and seriously watched the final battle of the top 32 that was about to begin.

Vegeta and Nappa's strengths were both very impressive. If they really fought, the intensity would definitely far exceed the previous battle between Yamcha and Tien Shinhan.

After all, Saiyans can transform. When Vegeta and Nappa face off, they will inevitably transform.

"Alas~ They still ended up facing each other. Our Prince hasn't completely let go of his identity." Gine sighed.

Although only twenty years had passed since the planet's explosion, times had indeed changed.

The Saiyans' former rule had long passed, and now it was a new century.

...

On the arena.

Vegeta and Nappa faced each other, neither of them taking the initiative to attack.

The pressure released by the two continued to increase, and snow-white flames bloomed from the inside out. The huge air pressure created a strong sense of suffocation and oppression.
