'Bang! Boom! Bang!'
Three rapid-fire punches struck Lagar, the powerful force of the blows penetrating his body and sending him staggering back a dozen meters.
Feeling the intense pain, Lagar grinned, his fighting spirit burning even hotter as golden Dragon God Power pulsed around him.
"Haaah!!" With a shout, Lagar flung his arms wide, the Dragon God Power erupting in a shockwave that shook the surroundings.
Sensing the impact of this Dragon God Power, Raditz's battle intent surged, his Saiyan fighting instincts stirring as he prepared for an all-out confrontation.
Both warriors' auras continued to expand, and once they reached a certain point, they simultaneously exploded with speed, charging towards each other.
Two golden streaks of light weaved and collided in the air, each impact creating a deafening boom.
The fierce battle erupted once more.
Lagar and Raditz became entangled in close combat, exchanging dozens of blows in mere seconds.
Their fighting spirits were fully ignited, entering a state of complete focus, communicating their intentions through their fists.
Raditz was thoroughly enjoying the fight, his mind and body feeling incredibly invigorated.
He had initially believed that his only true opponent in this World Martial Arts Tournament would be Talot, but now he realized he was sorely mistaken.
Lagar's strength was even greater than his Super Saiyan Second Grade form. While the pressure he exerted wasn't quite as intense as Talot's, Raditz was certain that this was the most formidable opponent he had ever faced.
Raditz's Battle Power was steadily increasing as time passed.
The Saiyan's cheat-like ability to grow stronger in the face of adversity was beginning to manifest!
His punches are becoming sharper and more powerful than before, and his strength is increasing. If this continues, the situation will become very unfavorable for me. Lagar realized that he needed to end this quickly.
If he dragged this out any longer, unforeseen circumstances might arise. After all, he had personally experienced the Saiyan's rapid growth and combat prowess.
Deciding not to prolong the fight, Lagar's figure flickered and vanished from his spot.
"So fast!" Raditz, seeing Lagar suddenly disappear, felt an ominous premonition. His body instinctively tensed, increasing his defense.
The next moment, an unimaginable force struck his back, sending him rocketing into the sky.
The excruciating pain in his back made Raditz grit his teeth.
Fortunately, he had managed to tense all the muscles in his body at the crucial moment, greatly enhancing his defense. Combined with his years of training, his physical attributes were extremely high.
This level of attack was nothing to him.
Swallowing the blood that had risen in his throat, Raditz was about to unleash his energy to stabilize himself when Lagar on the arena had already gathered an energy beam of immense destructive power.
As he clasped his hands together, a concentrated beam of crimson-gold energy was unleashed, hurtling towards Raditz.
Having just regained his balance, Raditz narrowed his eyes as he saw the incredibly powerful energy reach him, a glint of light flashing in his pupils.
'Rumble~~!!' The overwhelming destructive energy shook the surroundings, and thick flames engulfed the entire battle area, the resulting storm threatening to consume everything.
The entire Papaya Island, including the surrounding sea, was affected, experiencing violent tremors.
The terrifying flames spread across the sky, filling the entire Invisible Barrier. If not for the barrier's protection, the aftershocks alone would have been enough to kill everyone present.
All the spectators outside the Martial Arts Arena held their breath, staring intently at the center of the explosion.
The Gods and the fighters in the backstage area were also on high alert.
This attack was indeed impressive, not only for its instantaneous release but also for its considerable destructive power.
However, this battle shouldn't end so easily.
Everyone watched the center of the explosion with rapt attention.
Lagar was no exception.
He knew that this attack wouldn't kill Raditz, but he was certain that Raditz wouldn't be unscathed after taking it head-on.
Because he hadn't held back in that attack.
Time passed slowly...
Soon, most of the smoke in the air had dissipated.
Located at the center of the explosion, Raditz's figure flickered in and out of view.
Lagar perked up.
But what happened next shocked Lagar.
When Raditz's figure fully reappeared, he only looked a little disheveled, with no obvious injuries on his body.
His ki was also extremely steady, as if that attack just now hadn't affected him at all.
"What? My attack... was it neutralized by him?!" Lagar's face was horrified, utterly astonished.
That shouldn't have been possible; at that angle, at that speed... there was no way Raditz could have reacted!
Unless... he was hiding his strength! Lagar's pupils shrank violently as he thought of this possibility, and his gaze towards Raditz was filled with awe.
At this moment, Raditz was staring at Lagar with a smile on his face.
"It seems you've already guessed it. Since I've been found out, I won't hide it anymore. I was originally saving this form to deal with Talot, but I didn't expect to have to use it so soon. Since I reached this level, you're the first person who has truly forced me to use my full power!" After Raditz finished speaking, he clenched his fists tightly, and the ki around him surged, sublimated, and exploded.
Feeling Raditz's ki rising steadily, completely surpassing his own in the blink of an eye, Lagar's pupils shrank violently, and a drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
A powerful aura swept across all directions, and the entire Earth shook under this formidable power.
In the sky, the wind and clouds changed, and streaks of lightning exploded in the void, appearing particularly terrifying.
In mid-air, Raditz's facial expression suddenly became ferocious, veins popping out on his forehead, and his ki had swelled to an extremely terrifying level.
"Haaaaaa!!" A roar more ferocious than a beast erupted from Raditz's mouth.
Suddenly, an immeasurably vast ki gushed out from his body.
The dazzling golden light expanded rapidly, forcing everyone to close their eyes.
A powerful aura enveloped the entire Papaya Island, and the dazzling golden light was as bright and radiant as the light of dawn.
A full few seconds passed before the dazzling light dissipated.
Raditz's form also changed at this moment.
The golden hair that reached his waist became even more upright, surrounded by dense blue-white lightning, the eyebrows on both sides of his forehead disappeared, the brow ridges were lowered, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a fierce god of war, cold and ruthless.
Although there didn't seem to be much change in appearance, judging from the perception of ki, Raditz had reached a very astonishing level at this moment.
Lagar on the Martial Arts Arena was dumbfounded, in disbelief.
Raditz's true strength had reached such an astonishing level that even someone as powerful as him could only admit his inferiority.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. I'm not used to this form yet, so the transformation took a little longer." Raditz smiled wickedly, and an invisible, powerful aura pressed down on Lagar.
At this moment, Lagar only felt his body become very heavy, his breathing became rapid, and his mental state was greatly affected by the pressure of Raditz's aura.
...
In the audience stands.
East Supreme Kai, Old Kai, Kibito, God of Destruction Champa, and Angel Vados were also surprised to see Raditz's transformation.
Super Saiyan Third Grade, when Talot fought Frieza back then, he broke through himself and briefly entered this state.
Although Raditz's appearance change wasn't obvious, his aura was completely different from the previous Super Saiyan Second Grade.
That's right, it's Super Saiyan Third Grade! This is interesting. It seems that the outcome of the battle was never in doubt from the beginning.
Raditz had always been the one with a sure chance of winning! ...
In the backstage resting area.
A group of warriors were shocked to see Raditz descend in the form of Super Saiyan Third Grade.
"It seems that my previous guess was correct. Raditz had already mastered this Super Saiyan Third Grade transformation a long time ago. That guy, he even hid it from me." Although Talot had expected this, he didn't know the specifics.
It can only be said that Raditz came prepared for this World Martial Arts Tournament! Super Saiyan Third Grade is his trump card! It's all for the sake of fighting him.
"Super Saiyan Third Grade... as expected, I'm still being left behind too much. In the past, I was always one transformation ahead of him, but now he's surpassed me, damn it." Selari clenched her fists with a look of unwillingness.
As a strong woman among the Saiyans, she has a very strong desire to win.
Now, not only has her strength been left behind, but even her transformation has been left behind, which makes Selari feel upset and helpless.
"Raditz that guy... has already reached this step..." Vegeta gazed at Raditz's arrogant figure in mid-air, his fists clenching involuntarily.
The desire for power in his heart grew even stronger, wishing he could immediately start rigorous training.
He had always regarded Raditz as a goal to surpass, and now, witnessing Raditz's powerful strength with his own eyes, his mind could not help but be affected.
However, as the proud Prince Vegeta, he would never admit defeat. Raditz's strength further stimulated his proud heart.
So what if it's Super Saiyan Third Grade? Since Raditz has taken the lead, then he will complete Super Saiyan Fourth Grade faster than Raditz!
"So strong, big brother's aura is terrifyingly strong now." Son Goku carefully felt the powerful aura on Raditz's body, sweat sliding down his cheeks, the pressure immense.
He thought for a moment, if he switched places with Lagar, and had to face Super Saiyan Third Grade Raditz... he was afraid that he would be killed with a single glance in less than half a second.
"Already at Super Saiyan Third Grade... it seems I have to work even harder in my future training!" Nappa watched the incredibly powerful Raditz in the sky, sighing.
Right now, he was only at Super Saiyan First Stage Third Phase, not even reaching Full Power.
Raditz was already Super Saiyan Third Grade, the difference in transformation was not ordinary.
But he was not in a hurry, he just needed to walk his own path well.
There was one thing he was very puzzled about.
If he really mastered Super Saiyan Third Grade one day in the future...
Then would his hair grow back?
This was already his inner demon, and everyone always joked that he still had no hair even after transforming into a Super Saiyan.
Actually, he had hair when he was young.
...
On the Martial Arts Arena.
Raditz slowly descended from the sky, landing in front of Lagar, his face filled with a confident smile, as if he could defeat any opponent.
With the 400 times Battle Power increase of Super Saiyan Third Grade Base Form, his strength had reached a terrifying 88 billion, infinitely close to 90 billion!
Of course, for Saiyans, Battle Power was not the measure of everything.
In a real fight, the strength that Raditz could display was probably comparable to a trillion-level powerhouse! "Still want to fight?" Raditz asked.
Hearing this, Lagar's mind returned, his eyes gradually becoming heavy.
Soon, an excited smile appeared on his face.
"It's too embarrassing to retreat without a fight, I just want to see how powerful a further transformed Super Saiyan is!" With a loud shout, Lagar suddenly burst forth, rushing straight towards Raditz.
His speed was very fast, but in Raditz's eyes, it was slowed down to the limit. All the flaws that could not be discovered before, appeared in Raditz's eyes at this moment.
Lagar, who had advanced to Raditz, began to attack desperately.
Reckless, fierce and fierce offensive, carrying a deadly threat to kill Raditz.
Moving like the wind, as fast as lightning, every attack was just right, able to give the opponent a fatal blow, while also leaving a great deal of room for himself, which could be used to deal with any opponent, and he also had a certain amount of capital to fight beyond his level.
If it was the Super Saiyan Second Grade Raditz just now, he would have been beaten back by Lagar's fierce offensive.
But now it was different. With the blessing of Super Saiyan Third Grade, Raditz's perception, insight, speed, defense, and attack, all aspects of his stats had undergone tremendous changes.
"It seems that under the transformation of Super Saiyan Third Grade, you and I are no longer on the same level, then... let's end it here!!" As soon as he finished speaking, Raditz's attack arrived.
With a BOOM!!! loud noise.
The space trembled by three points because of this blow.
Lagar's body flew out in response, hitting the Invisible Barrier in the distance, and finally fell out of the Martial Arts Arena.
One move, instant kill.
The outcome has been decided!
After eliminating Lagar, Raditz also took the opportunity to release the Super Saiyan Third Grade transformation, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Although he had mastered this transformation, he could not use it casually.
Because compared to Super Saiyan Second Grade, Super Saiyan Third Grade consumed too much stamina.
Once Super Saiyan Third Grade is used, it's about unleashing everything from the start, striving to take down the opponent as quickly as possible.
For prolonged battles, Super Saiyan Second Grade should still be used.
