Fated Showdown, Son Goku VS Piccolo!

Chapter 199: Fated Showdown, Son Goku VS Piccolo!

Soon, the one-hour intermission quietly passed.

The audience seats remained packed from beginning to end, with no one leaving. Everyone was waiting, and every spectator was shouting for the matches to start quickly.

The battles of this year's World Martial Arts Tournament had ignited a strange desire within them.

Under the Blonde Referee's enthusiastic commentary, the list of contestants advancing from the Top 16 to the Top 8 was announced!

"First match: Talot VS Chapa King! Second match: Son Goku VS Piccolo!

Third match: Krillin VS Werewolf!

Fourth match: Nail VS Tien Shinhan! Fifth match: Lagar VS Fighter Tiger! Sixth match: Vegeta VS Dinosaur Superman!

Seventh match: Fighter Lagar VS Martial Artist Zaki! Eighth match: Raditz VS Selari!" ...

To Talot's surprise, he was not only the first to appear again, but his opponent was also the quite famous Chapa King from the early original story.

As the two stood on the ring, the arrogant Chapa King began trash-talking even before the fight started.

He hadn't seen anything impressive about Talot in the Top 16 matches, and even thought that Talot had bribed his opponents.

In short, he was saying that Talot's ability to reach the Top 16 through dirty tricks was his limit.

Meeting him meant that he would use his famous Eight Hand Fist technique to eliminate Talot.

Talot didn't pay any attention to the clamoring of this minor character, yawning boredly as he waited for the Blonde Referee to announce the start of the match.

"Match! Start!" The Blonde Referee knew that Talot was not simple, and gave Chapa King a contemptuous look.

With the command, the first match of the Top 8 Advancement Match officially began.

As the match began, Chapa King rushed straight at Talot, immediately using his killer move, Eight Hand Fist. However, in Talot's eyes, this was just a boring little trick.

"Get down." Talot casually raised his hand and waved it out.

A light slap landed on Chapa King's face.

Under this slap, Chapa King had no power to resist, and his whole body flew out like a kite with a broken string, landing outside the ring.

How arrogant he was before, how miserable he was now, with several teeth knocked out.

In fact, if Chapa King had been more polite, Talot wouldn't have minded dealing with him the same way he dealt with Mr. Satan.

Of course, Talot wouldn't have used much force. His control over power had reached an extremely perfect level. This slap only made Chapa King doubt his life, but it wasn't fatal.

The Blonde Referee had expected this scene. He jogged down the ring to check on Chapa King's condition. After discovering that he wasn't dead, he immediately announced that Talot had won the first match.

After all, the rules of the competition clearly stipulated that if one accidentally killed the opponent, they would lose their qualification to participate.

"How boring, I thought I could meet Kakarot or Vegeta, but in other words, I'm still quite lucky." Talot chuckled, not caring what others thought, turned around and left the ring, heading towards the backstage area.

The first match ended in a dramatic way again, naturally causing many people to curse.

But some people saw the trick.

After all, the previous battles were too intense, completely a showdown between superhumans.

...

Second match.

Son Goku versus Piccolo! This made everyone perk up, because it would be another battle between experts.

Piccolo's strength was already different from what it used to be.

But Son Goku's strength was also unfathomable, making him unpredictable.

On the ring.

Son Goku and Piccolo faced each other, both with extremely serious expressions.

They secretly accumulated power, ready to respond to sudden attacks at any time.

"I didn't expect my opponent this time to be you, Piccolo." Son Goku clenched his fists, very excited.

"Son Goku, I've been waiting for this battle for a long time. Master Roshi is your master, but my goal this time, besides Master Roshi, is also his disciple. As a Saiyan, you are undoubtedly the strongest." Piccolo's eyes were sharp, locking onto Son Goku.

"Is that so? It seems you and I resonate. From the moment I saw you again, I've been looking forward to fighting you. It turns out my premonition was accurate." Son Goku struck a fighting pose, his fighting spirit soaring as he spoke.

"Hmph!" Piccolo didn't say anything more, responding with a snort.

He also adopted a fighting stance, his eyes fixed on Son Goku, searching for an opportunity to attack.

The clash of auras between the strong put immense pressure on the Blonde Referee, but also filled him with excitement.

As the champion of the previous World Martial Arts Tournament, Son Goku's strength was beyond doubt.

But the contestant named Piccolo before him was not to be underestimated either. He easily crushed Master Roshi, a grandmaster, in the Top 16, so one could imagine how formidable his strength was.

The audience stands were already buzzing with noise.

"Match! Start!!" Under such circumstances, with a command from the Blonde Referee, the second match of the Top 8 Advancement Match began.

Whoosh~~!!!

Whoosh~~!!!

Two consecutive sounds of air being torn apart rang out.

The moment the match was announced to begin, Son Goku and Piccolo charged out simultaneously, rushing towards each other and engaging in close-quarters combat.

Fists and feet flew, constantly exchanging blows, offense and defense, chasing and striking. The speed of both sides was so fast that the naked eye could not easily see clearly, like phantoms weaving and colliding in every corner of the ring.

Apart from the fighters backstage who could clearly see their movements, only a few gods in the audience could see clearly.

The other ordinary people only saw a blurry fierce battle, with bursts of loud noises from time to time.

The fierce battle between Son Goku and Piccolo continued to heat up, both probing each other.

Although this was not a life-or-death battle, it was an old habit that Son Goku couldn't change. He would probe any opponent first, without using his full strength.

Although Piccolo was also probing, after only a few rounds of exchanges, he had roughly figured out Son Goku's strength in his Base Form.

Since you don't plan to actively transform into a Super Saiyan, then don't blame me! Piccolo made a decision in his heart.

Rumble~~!! A gust of wind rose sharply, and the white aura around Piccolo's body exploded, directly unleashing twenty percent of his strength.

"What a strong ki!" Sensing the powerful aura erupting from Piccolo, Son Goku's eyes lit up, and he was shocked by Piccolo's strength.

Bang!!!! A loud bang.

Although Son Goku crossed his arms in front of him, defending in time, the power Piccolo unleashed was extremely savage. The power of just one punch sent Son Goku flying to the edge of the ring.

Seizing the opportunity, Piccolo quickly sprinted to Son Goku, launching a fierce attack without mercy.

His training on Namek had long honed his close combat ability and fighting methods to perfection.

Compared to Son Goku's specially modified Turtle School Fighting Method, it was not weak at all.

Piccolo's sudden aggressive attack caught Son Goku off guard, forcing him to defend passively.

"Is this all you've got, Son Goku!" As the words fell, a cold light flashed in Piccolo's eyes. Seizing an opportunity, he kicked Son Goku's jaw squarely.

Thud!!! A muffled sound.

The immense power instantly overturned Son Goku's body, sending him into the air.

The pain in his chin made Son Goku gasp, realizing that he couldn't continue probing, or he would really be beaten badly by Piccolo.

Piccolo locked onto Son Goku in mid-air, his legs gathering strength as he charged out, heading straight for Son Goku.

"Kaio-ken!!" With a loud shout, Son Goku directly used the Twofold Kaio-ken, his blood energy erupting, and his Battle Power broke through the six million mark.

Skillfully avoiding Piccolo's attack, he punched Piccolo squarely in the face, knocking him back.

The two hovered in mid-air, looking at each other from a distance, smiles appearing on their faces at the same time.

Piccolo raised his hand to wipe away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"Haah!!!" In the next second, Piccolo exerted force again, and a surging aura gushed out of his body like a flood.

The unparalleled ki impacted in all directions, and Piccolo directly unleashed half of his strength. The terror of his Battle Power directly reached the 15 million mark.

Son Goku was infected by the powerful aura that Piccolo erupted, and a fiery fighting spirit flowed in his eyes.

"In that case, Fivefold Kaio-ken!!" Son Goku once again increased the multiplier of the Kaio-ken, controlling his aura to the same level as Piccolo.

The two's Battle Power simultaneously soared to the 15 million mark, and a fierce battle with Battle Power exceeding 10 million erupted.

'Boom~~!!' The instant the two collided, an incomparably dazzling energy wave expanded.

At the moment this energy wave bloomed, the two engaged in a battle invisible to the naked eye, chasing and colliding in the high sky.

Their figures were as fast as lightning, and each collision produced shockwaves that were so thrilling.

Two streaks of white and red light collided continuously in mid-air, followed by ear-splitting sonic booms one after another.

Son Goku and Piccolo exchanged blows for dozens of rounds, mutually breaking each other's attacks hundreds of times.

Bang!!

Piccolo's heavy punch landed squarely on Son Goku's chest.

Thud!!

Son Goku's whip kick landed on Piccolo's neck.

While being knocked back, the two charged up and condensed energy, shooting an energy blast at each other.

Rumble~!!! Explosive flames bloomed in mid-air.

The two, situated in the explosive flames, spun their bodies rapidly, eventually landing steadily.

Both sides watched each other warily, neither taking the initiative to attack.

The first phase of the confrontation ended in a draw.

"Amazing, I didn't expect your strength to have improved to this extent, it's truly unbelievable, my body is starting to get excited," Son Goku exclaimed.

After the battle just now, the warmongering factors within his body had been completely awakened.

Right now, he only felt the blood in his body surging, making him unable to control himself, wanting to fight to the end.

"Hmph~! This is just the beginning, Son Goku!!" Piccolo snorted coldly, he had already figured out Son Goku's attack patterns, so there was no need to hold back next.

Piccolo crossed his arms, and the power sleeping within his body was also awakened.

"Awwwoooo!!" A hysterical roar erupted from Piccolo's mouth.

The veins on his forehead bulged, his aura expanded, and his Battle Power increased explosively.

"Just as I guessed, you were still hiding even stronger power, but... so am I!!" Affected by Piccolo's power surge, scorching flames burst out from Son Goku's eyes, and the blood energy around him erupted even more intensely.

At this moment, the Tenfold Kaio-ken was unleashed!! With a massive burst of blood energy, Son Goku's Battle Power soared to 30 million, the same as Piccolo's.

"Take this!! Son Goku!!" With a loud shout, Piccolo raised his hand and released a Demon Beam Cannon straight at Son Goku.

"Come on!!" Not wanting to be outdone, Son Goku simultaneously released a powerful energy cannon to counter it.

Bang!!! Two energy beams with infinite destructive power collided, and the explosive shockwave shook all directions.

At the moment of the energy explosion, Son Goku and Piccolo simultaneously charged towards each other.

The fierce battle erupted again.

Both sides were doing their best to suppress each other. Based on his insights from the previous battle with Son Goku, Piccolo temporarily changed his own fighting method, transforming his offensive style into a special offensive that was extremely targeted towards Son Goku.

Each attack was swift and powerful, and even Son Goku, whose Battle Power was on par with his, was completely suppressed by him at this moment.

But even when suppressed, the resilience displayed by Son Goku was incredibly strong, no matter how powerful Piccolo's attacks were, they could not break through his defense.

The two seized the opportunity, charged up their right fists, and punched out simultaneously.

Bang!! Thud!!!

The fists of both sides landed on each other's faces at the same time, the powerful force simultaneously distorting their features.

Having simultaneously endured a heavy punch from the other, the two figures retreated rapidly again, stopping only when they fell to the edge of the arena.

"Kamehame—ha!!" Son Goku quickly condensed energy, and an instantaneous Kamehameha burst out from his palm.

"Super Demon Beam Cannon!" Piccolo put his hands together, condensed energy at the fastest speed, and released it.

Two energy beams with infinite destructive power collided in the center of the arena, shooting out terrifying destruction sparks, and the arena was destroyed once again.

"Enough!! How long are you planning to continue like this?! Son Goku!" Just then, Piccolo, enraged, roared uncontrollably.

Immediately afterward, the energy output from Piccolo's hands surged dramatically, instantly overwhelming Son Goku's Kamehameha.

"Not good!" Son Goku's pupils shrank as he saw this, and he hurriedly cut off his energy output, narrowly avoiding the Super Demon Beam Cannon's blast.

However, the people in the audience weren't so lucky.

When they saw the Super Demon Beam Cannon heading straight for them, they panicked and scattered in all directions.

They completely forgot that an invisible barrier surrounded the audience, preventing them from being harmed.

The instant Piccolo's Super Demon Beam Cannon touched this invisible barrier, it was absorbed by the barrier's unique power and vanished into nothingness.

This was the Angel's doing; there was nothing they couldn't do if they wanted to.

This special energy barrier could avoid one hundred percent of danger and devour any threats.

"That was close, that was close. Good thing everyone's okay." Son Goku breathed a sigh of relief, raising his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

He had been worried about the audience, but seeing that they were fine, he was completely relieved and could fight without holding back.
