Martial Artist: Never Practicing Martial Arts Again

As the defense continued, Tien Shinhan found that he had deflected most of Nail's power, but there was a portion he couldn't deflect.

This portion of power penetrated deep into his body, causing secondary damage.

He had to find a way to break the situation; if he dragged it on any longer, he might not even have the chance to unleash his full strength.

Just as Tien Shinhan was distracted, Nail keenly seized his opening.

"You're careless!" Nail's indifferent voice rang out.

In the next second, Nail transformed into an afterimage and vanished from his spot.

"Not good!" Seeing Nail disappear, Tien Shinhan's pupils shrank.

Then, a sense of danger surged through his body, and he instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late.

Bang!!! Nail's powerful strike landed squarely on Tien Shinhan's back, instantly knocking him down.

As he plummeted towards the ground, Tien Shinhan quickly turned around to dissipate the remaining force of the impact, finally landing steadily in the center of the Martial Arts Arena.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Nail's even more ferocious attacks came one after another.

Having seized the initiative in the battle, Nail wouldn't give Tien Shinhan a chance to catch his breath, unleashing all the power in his body, golden light flashing in his hands.

"Haaaaaa!!!" Nail shouted loudly, then his hands moved rapidly, and countless energy blasts spewed out from his palms.

The dense energy attacks, like a torrential rain of pear blossoms, formed a Net of Heaven and Earth, bombarding Tien Shinhan in a comprehensive manner, leaving him nowhere to hide.

"Come on, let's have a good fight!" Tien Shinhan's fighting spirit ignited; Nail's fierce fighting style completely awakened the warmongering factors within his body.

His whole being began to be in a state of extreme excitement, powerful energy flowing within his body. As Tien Shinhan's hands pushed forward, this energy transformed into layers of protective barriers, completely enveloping his body.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!... The roar of explosions was continuous, echoing through the sky.

Blazing fire soared into the sky, and the powerful energy explosion shockwave swept in all directions, filling most of the invisible barrier.

Nail's energy bombardment continued; he knew that victory or defeat hinged on this! As long as he kept outputting energy, he would eventually break Tien Shinhan's defense; it all depended on who had the greater endurance.

"Haaaaaa!!!" Nail shouted loudly, his energy bombardment intensifying even further.

Dense energy blasts fell like raindrops, continuously attacking Tien Shinhan.

Tien Shinhan, who was only defending, also felt immense pressure at this moment, his strong body already covered in dense beads of sweat.

Crack~! Crack~!

The protective barrier he had released with all his might had also reached its breaking point; if he continued to withstand the energy bombardment, it would collapse sooner or later! Since reaching this level, it was the first time Tien Shinhan had felt such immense pressure.

Nail's power made the blood of the Three-Eyed People within his body boil and burn, making him forget himself and sweep away all fatigue.

"Kaio-ken!!!" The high-spirited Tien Shinhan suddenly roared, and abruptly, an incomparably terrifying aura burst out from his body.

Blood-colored baleful aura soared into the sky, and the powerful aura impact rapidly expanded, instantly dispelling the smoke of the explosion while also neutralizing all the remaining energy blasts in the space.

"What?!" Seeing the situation was bad, Nail instinctively raised his hands to protect himself, resisting the terrifying aura impact.

However, the intensity of this aura impact was far higher than he had imagined, almost knocking him off his feet.

When the storm dissipated, Nail could finally see clearly that Tien Shinhan in the center of the Martial Arts Arena was shrouded in a blood-colored baleful aura, and his aura was stronger than he could have imagined.

With the Kaio-ken's boost, Tien Shinhan's Battle Power directly broke through to the hundreds of millions, with a Battle Power of a full 160 million.

In terms of Battle Power alone, he was even more powerful than Son Goku's Super Saiyan First Stage normal state!

"Amazing... is this your true power? This Kaio-ken move is truly eye-opening." Nail gasped, saying with an incredulous expression.

At this time, the intensity of Tien Shinhan's aura was extremely terrifying, giving him a feeling that he couldn't resist.

While Nail was in extreme amazement, Tien Shinhan on the Martial Arts Arena suddenly teleported and appeared in front of him.

"So fast!!" Nail was frightened by this scene, subconsciously throwing a punch.

Pa-thump!!

His iron fist was easily blocked by Tien Shinhan's raised hand, and all the impact was cleverly neutralized.

His attack was easily blocked, Nail's face changed drastically, and just as he was about to withdraw his fist and launch a counterattack, he found that his fist couldn't be withdrawn at all; Tien Shinhan's grip was unimaginably strong.

Even if he tried his best, he couldn't break free from the restraint! "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've used the Kaio-ken for actual combat, sorry, Nail!" As the words fell, Tien Shinhan's other hand struck out powerfully, slamming hard into Nail's abdomen.

A thunderous, bone-jarring sound of flesh impacting flesh exploded, the powerful shockwave of the punch piercing Nail's body.

The power of this punch was terrifying.

Even though Tien Shinhan had deliberately held back most of his strength, the impact on Nail was still immense.

Struck heavily, Nail's features contorted, a bloody arrow erupting from his mouth, his body stiffening, temporarily unable to move.

This wasn't the end. Tien Shinhan seized the opportunity, delivering a whip kick that sent Nail flying, then used super-speed movement to catch up to the airborne Nail, interlocking his fingers and transforming them into a massive war hammer, slamming down with force.

With a deafening *BOOM!!!*, this terrifying blow even caused ripples in space.

Nail, subjected to a devastating attack, plummeted onto the Martial Arts Arena like a meteor, creating a crater more than ten meters wide, his body twitching incessantly at the center of the pit, unable to rise again.

At this moment, the outcome was clear.

The difference in strength was self-evident. With the Kaio-ken amplifying his power, even Son Goku in his Super Saiyan First Stage form would not be able to gain an advantage against Tien Shinhan.

After knocking Nail back into the arena, Tien Shinhan slowly descended from the sky, landing on the edge of the crater.

He looked down at Nail, who had completely lost his ability to fight, with the air of a victor.

Nail was still struggling as much as he could, wanting to continue fighting, but unfortunately, he was unable to move.

Tien Shinhan watched silently, maintaining his composure, then gave a look to the Blonde Referee not far away.

Seeing this, the Blonde Referee finally snapped out of his daze, climbed onto the arena, and walked to the edge of the crater to begin the countdown.

Within ten counts, Nail still hadn't stood up.

"The winner of the fourth quarter-final match is, Tien Shinhan!" The Blonde Referee directly announced the winner's name, Tien Shinhan!

At the same time, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers, seemingly celebrating Tien Shinhan's victory.

Especially those who had been following Tien Shinhan since the last World Martial Arts Tournament were deeply shocked by the power he displayed and became die-hard fans.

Even Tien Shinhan himself didn't expect that, because of this intense match, the extraordinary Battle Power he displayed would directly help him win over a large group of female admirers.

Just then, Nail in the crater regained his senses, slowly rising and exhaling a long breath.

Tien Shinhan's two consecutive heavy blows had landed on his weak spots. Although they hadn't caused fatal injuries, they had prevented him from recovering.

The two looked at each other again, smiles of admiration appearing on their faces simultaneously.

"Your strength is truly remarkable, I concede defeat. But you won this time, I'll win next time!" Nail said to Tien Shinhan.

"Alright, I'm also looking forward to our next match." Tien Shinhan extended his right hand in a friendly gesture.

Seeing this, Nail also raised his hand and shook it. The two powerhouses, whose strengths were incredibly close to the hundred million mark, reached an agreement at this moment.

Next time, they would fight again!

...

As the fierce battle between Tien Shinhan and Nail ended, the two returned to the backstage area.

The crowd praised them as they returned, with various words of admiration filling the air.

Although it was a pity that Nail was eliminated, the powerful Battle Power displayed by Tien Shinhan truly shocked them.

No one had expected Tien Shinhan to be hiding so much.

In addition to the Kaio-ken, his own Battle Power had reached such a high level.

"Don't be discouraged, you'll have plenty of opportunities to fight again in the future." Lagar patted Nail on the shoulder, comforting him before walking outside.

Next, it was his turn to compete.

Speaking of which, his opponent was also unlucky, just an ordinary Earth man, yet he had to face the strongest Namekian.

Under the Blonde Referee's announcement, the contestants from both resting areas began to walk towards the Martial Arts Arena.

Lagar's opponent was a Martial Artist named Tiger.

As soon as the two met, the atmosphere became extremely heavy.

Before the match had even started, Tiger was already so nervous that he was drenched in sweat.

Lagar's skin tone was exactly the same as Piccolo and Nail, making it difficult not to guess the relationship between them. After watching the previous matches, he already deeply understood the difference in strength between them.

But even so, standing on the arena, he would not back down. Even if he knew it was a battle he couldn't win, he would fight to the very end.

Lagar's expression was calm as he waited for the Blonde Referee to announce the start of the match. To him, this fight was nothing special.

"The fifth quarter-final match, between Martial Artist Tiger and Lagar, begin!" With the Blonde Referee's command, the match officially started.

Almost as soon as the words left his mouth, Tiger rushed towards Lagar at full speed, launching an all-out offensive, trying to suppress Lagar.

Faced with Tiger's full-force attack, Lagar naturally didn't care, dodging everything with just his instincts.

In front of the strongest Namekian, Tiger, an ordinary Martial Artist, seemed a bit too insignificant.

After dodging more than a dozen of Tiger's attacks in a row, Lagar shook his head slightly, preparing to end the match with one move.

He already considered it an act of admiration that Tiger dared to fight him, otherwise, he would have finished him instantly.

At this moment, Tiger was already panting heavily from the continuous attacks.

His eyelids twitched wildly, his heart filled with extreme unwillingness.

In his opinion, even if he was eliminated, he should at least touch Lagar once!

Otherwise, being eliminated like this would be too humiliating! But when he saw Lagar move and raise a hand towards him, Tiger suddenly froze.

A loud *"Boom!!!"* erupted.

Lagar casually released a burst of ki.

Struck by the powerful blow, Tiger flew backward like a kite with a broken string, falling off the Martial Arts Arena in the blink of an eye, eliminated from the competition.

Eliminated from the competition, Tiger looked dazed, his whole body trembling.

The gap between worlds can only be understood after experiencing it firsthand.

They, these Martial Artists, were nothing more than a boring joke in front of true Martial Artist powerhouses.

He would never practice martial arts again.

"The winner of the fifth quarter-final match is Lagar!" the Blonde Referee announced.

Lagar, who had won the match, felt no joy in his heart.

He turned around and walked towards the backstage resting area.

However, just before entering the door of the resting area, he met Vegeta, and their eyes collided.

Although it was only for a moment, Lagar still felt Vegeta's burning fighting spirit directed at him! Lagar had sensed Vegeta's desire to fight him long before.

He was also looking forward to seeing if he could meet Vegeta in the next round of the competition. He also wanted to see how strong the so-called Super Saiyan power really was!

As Vegeta stepped onto the Martial Arts Arena, the sixth quarter-final match was about to begin.

Vegeta's opponent, Dinosaur Superman...

It had to be said that this guy was too unlucky to be Vegeta's opponent.

Among all the Earth warriors, Vegeta was the kind of person who was ruthless and didn't talk much.

As the Blonde Referee announced the start of the match, Vegeta made his move in the first instant, blasting Dinosaur Superman off the Martial Arts Arena with an invisible ki blast.

Instant kill!

The match was decided in less than a second.

This scene naturally confused the Blonde Referee.

He should at least put on a show.

Lagar would at least symbolically exchange two moves with his opponent, but Vegeta directly killed his opponent in one go...

After finishing the match, Vegeta turned around indifferently, walking towards the backstage resting area with an arrogant expression, without even waiting for the referee to announce the result.

"The winner of the sixth quarter-final match is Vegeta!" The Blonde Referee shook his head helplessly and quickly announced that Vegeta was the winner of the match.

The people in the resting area were not surprised by this outcome after seeing Vegeta return.

The ruthless Vegeta was not as easy to talk to as they were. He killed his opponent in one move, which was expected.

Soon, the seventh quarter-final match began, between Martial Artist Lag and Martial Artist Zaki! The battle between two ordinary Earthlings was not very interesting, just ordinary physical confrontation.

The spectators in the audience, after getting used to the incomprehensible battles just now, found this ordinary match a bit boring and couldn't muster any energy.
