'Crackle~~!!!'
The two Energy Balls collided, but instead of the imagined massive explosion, the two energies canceled each other out, shooting terrifying arcs of electricity through the air.
This demonstrated just how much control Tien Shinhan had over his power.
Otherwise, there would have been a huge explosion.
Even if Whis's barrier wouldn't be broken, there would still be a great disturbance inside the barrier.
'Whoosh~~!!' The aura around Tien Shinhan erupted as he shifted from defense to offense, charging straight at Yamcha.
No longer holding back, Tien Shinhan's explosive speed brought him right in front of Yamcha in the blink of an eye, unleashing a powerful, unstoppable crushing punch.
Yamcha, unable to dodge in time, instinctively raised his arms to defend himself, but was a step too slow.
'Bang!!!' A chilling, bone-jarring impact resounded.
Yamcha took the full force of the punch to his face, his legs scraping against the arena, stopping just one meter from the edge.
Dazed from the heavy blow, Yamcha didn't have time to recover before Tien Shinhan charged at him again, unleashing a fierce, relentless assault like a torrential downpour.
Seeing this, Yamcha instantly snapped back to his senses, desperately defending himself at the edge of the arena against Tien Shinhan's overwhelming offensive.
'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ...' The devastating fists rained down like a storm.
The terrifying force of the impact left Yamcha's arms numb. If not for his years of training that had given him a solid stance, he would have already been knocked out of the arena.
Realizing he couldn't remain on the defensive, Yamcha quickly changed tactics, making a rapid retreat before leaping high into the sky.
Seeing this, Tien Shinhan smiled, used the Sky Hovering Art, and shot after Yamcha.
As Tien Shinhan rushed over, Yamcha placed his right hand behind his back, slowly gathering an Energy Ball. In a flash, his ultimate technique was already formed.
"You've fallen into my trap, Tien Shinhan!!" Yamcha grinned, swinging his right arm forward and unleashing his signature technique, the Spirit Ball!
"What?!" Seeing this, Tien Shinhan immediately halted his movement, narrowly dodging the attack.
But Yamcha wasn't done. His right hand moved continuously, controlling the Spirit Ball to attack Tien Shinhan from multiple different directions.
Facing the encircling offensive of the Spirit Ball, Tien Shinhan chose to defend for the moment.
Yamcha seized the opportunity, searching for an opening in Tien Shinhan's defense, ready to strike with full force the moment Tien Shinhan showed weakness.
But to his shock, Tien Shinhan simply reached out and grabbed his Spirit Ball with his bare hand.
"Boom!!!" A deafening explosion followed.
Tien Shinhan suddenly exerted force, crushing the Spirit Ball with brute strength, turning it into countless particles of energy drifting through the air.
Yamcha was stunned by the sight.
"How... could this be?!" Yamcha stood there at a loss, unable to believe his ultimate technique had been neutralized so easily by Tien Shinhan.
It was crushed by a single hand...
Just how terrifying was the power required to do that...
The gap in their strength... had unknowingly grown this vast!
'Swish~!' A sharp sound of air slicing rang out behind him.
While Yamcha was distracted, Tien Shinhan moved again, his super-high-speed movement making it impossible even to sense his Ki.
Tien Shinhan pressed his palms together, forming a hammer, gathering power.
At this moment, cold sweat was running down Yamcha's forehead. The chill coming from behind made his expression change dramatically, and before he could even turn around, Tien Shinhan's heavy hammer had already come down.
'BOOM!!!!' A deafening crash echoed out.
Yamcha, struck hard, plummeted toward the arena like a meteor, smashing a half-meter-deep crater into the arena.
The intense pain on his back made Yamcha grit his teeth in agony.
But his body had at least been thoroughly tempered.
As terrifying as the destructive power of Tien Shinhan's blow was, it still wasn't enough to take him down.
Enduring the pain of his bones almost shattering, Yamcha leapt rapidly out of the crater.
By now, Tien Shinhan had also landed on the arena, standing directly in front of Yamcha, continuing their standoff.
The tension rose again, the auras of two powerful warriors clashing. White flaming aura blazed fiercely around Tien Shinhan as his aura swelled, and his power level kept skyrocketing.
Seeing this, Yamcha refused to back down, unleashing his own aura to counter Tien Shinhan's aura. But unfortunately, the gap between their strengths was more than just a little. No matter how much energy Yamcha unleashed, he still couldn't match Tien Shinhan.
[Damn it, I'm going all out!]Yamcha thought to himself, his eyes turning resolute.
Rather than sitting and waiting for defeat, it's better to risk everything in one last struggle!
The next second, Yamcha took a deep breath. Once his aura had stabilized, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly exploded forward like a cannonball, charging straight at Tien Shinhan.
"Ultra Wolf Fang Fist!!" Pouring everything he had left into it, Yamcha brought out his special technique.
This was the further-upgraded Wolf Fang Fist, even fiercer in attack, with every move and every strike brimming with deadly intent.
However, this technique was still not fully perfected...
"Good! Bring it on!!" Tien Shinhan didn't dodge or evade, letting his fighting spirit explode as he faced the attack head-on.
'BOOM!!!!' Another tremendous crash.
The instant their fists collided, the entire arena trembled, and the hearts of everyone in the stands seemed to skip a beat.
Under the gaze of countless shocked spectators, the final showdown erupted.
The two fighters' forms blurred and flickered, like afterimages, darting and clashing across the arena. To those not strong enough, all they could see were flashes of violent wind; even the afterimages couldn't be seen clearly.
Throwing everything he had into it, Yamcha, boosted by the Ultra Wolf Fang Fist, seemed to suppress Tien Shinhan once again.
But it was all just an illusion. As fierce as Yamcha's assault was, it wasn't beyond Tien Shinhan's ability to handle. He had already seen through all of Yamcha's attacks.
Though the Ultra Wolf Fang Fist's offense was powerful, it had one huge flaw that Yamcha simply couldn't make up for.
Its offense was overwhelming, but its defense was incredibly weak.
After neutralizing dozens of Yamcha's strikes in succession, Tien Shinhan suddenly exerted his full strength, completely disrupting Yamcha's offense.
The counterattack began!
'BANG!!'
Tien Shinhan's right hand formed a fist, landing a heavy blow squarely into Yamcha's abdomen.
'Ugh~!' Hit hard, Yamcha's face contorted in pain as a mouthful of sour liquid mixed with blood spurted from his mouth.
His aura weakened, his body stiffened, his guard wide open.
"Sorry, Yamcha." As soon as the words left his mouth, Tien Shinhan launched a skyward kick right into Yamcha's chin.
With that blow, Yamcha's body went out of control, his consciousness blurred, and he was sent flying helplessly out of the arena.
Just as everyone thought the match was over, Yamcha, relying on sheer willpower, forcibly regained control of his body and froze in midair just ten centimeters from the ground.
This made everyone's hearts clench all over again.
Immediately after, Yamcha, gasping for breath, slowly returned to the arena.
This scene, defying the laws of physics, left the entire audience dumbfounded, every mouth agape in utter shock.
Ultimately, the level was simply too high. At this point, to everyone watching, it was like witnessing battle between gods.
