"Huh?" Goku's words reached Raditz's ears, and he instantly froze, thoroughly embarrassed.
Upon seeing Kakarot, Raditz had used his scouter to check his little brother's power level. Indeed, the person with the previously detected power level of 53,000 was Kakarot. Raditz had originally intended to rely on his little brother, but at this moment, he was disheartened by his words. As the older brother, didn't he need to save face? Raditz looked at Kakarot with a gaze full of resentment.
At this moment, his pride as the elder brother made Raditz determined to work hard to improve his strength, at least enough to surpass his little brother! Otherwise, where would his face as the elder brother go? It seemed Kakarot gained his current formidable strength because of Rhode. So, could he also ask him for guidance? However, what should he do to make him willing to guide him? That was a problem!
With Goku's single sentence, Raditz felt his dignity as the elder brother crumble. However, having been taught by Gine and Bardock, two individuals different from ordinary Saiyans since childhood, he had no obsession with the Saiyan's so-called pride. Therefore, if he could become stronger, he was willing to do something.
"Hehe~" Hearing Goku's blunt words and seeing Raditz's somewhat withdrawn expression, Rhode found it very interesting and couldn't help but laugh. However, as his laughter rang out, he was met with several helpless and resentful gazes.
"Alright, you all chat. There's still a match later. I wish you all victory!" After confirming the identities of Bardock and the others, his task was done. Thus, Rhode's clone simply left a message and then disappeared from the contestant waiting area.
Leaving Goku and his companions, along with Bardock and the others, to interact and converse aside.
"Rhode, I suddenly realized you have a bit of a mischievous streak!" At this moment, not far away, Aira, who had witnessed the previous scene and transformed into Baobao-jie, couldn't help but complain to Rhode's main body, disguised as Saitama-sensei.
"Hehe, there are some joys you wouldn't understand!" Hearing Aira's complaint, Rhode chuckled, still finding it very amusing and feeling joyful. Indeed, some things, if one didn't possess past memories like Rhode, would only make one feel like Aira, that he was stirring up trouble.
"Contestant Feng Baobao, Contestant Bulma, please proceed to the arena for preparation!" Just as Aira was complaining about Rhode, the stadium's broadcast sounded, calling for her and Bulma to prepare for their match.
"Poor Bulma!" Hearing the voice from the broadcast, Aira muttered to herself softly, then stood up and walked towards the arena.
"Little girl, I advise you to surrender directly later. You are not my opponent!" Meeting Bulma midway, Aira, transformed as Baobao-jie, spoke to Bulma with a serious expression.
"Little girl?" Hearing Aira's words, Bulma looked at her strangely and couldn't help but retort angrily, "First, you don't look any older than me! Second, we haven't even fought yet, how can you say I can't beat you? I'm very strong!" As she spoke, Bulma waved her fist at Aira, who was transformed into Baobao-jie.
"Heh, how do you want to lose later?" Facing Bulma's display of bravado, Aira, in Baobao-jie's appearance, spoke calmly with a serene gaze.
"Lose?" Hearing the unkempt, disheveled girl in front of her speak with such certainty, Bulma immediately retorted indignantly, "If you're so capable, just knock me out directly!"
"Alright, since you said so, then let's do it!" Hearing Bulma's words, Aira, in Baobao-jie's appearance, her eyes lit up, and she nodded, agreeing earnestly.
"Ah? You..." Aira's words reached her ears, and an ominous feeling inexplicably rose in Bulma's heart. She was about to say something, but just then, the host called for the two to enter the arena.
At this moment, with their identities confirmed, the host announced the start of the match, and Aira, in Baobao-jie's appearance, and Bulma stood opposite each other.
Looking at the calm and composed girl named Feng Baobao, Bulma inexplicably felt a reluctance to make a move. What was wrong with her? At this moment, Bulma's heart was filled with doubt.
"Are you going down yourself, or should I send you down?" Sensing Bulma's uneasiness at this moment, a smile actually appeared on Aira's calm face, in Baobao-jie's appearance.
"You fellow!" Facing such words from her opponent, and remembering that she even dared to make a move against Sister Aira, Bulma's uneasiness instantly vanished. She didn't believe this girl in front of her was stronger than Sister Aira!
Therefore, Bulma made a move against Aira, who was transformed into Feng Baobao.
"Not bad!" Seeing Bulma still able to make a move despite her intimidation, Aira's eyes immediately showed satisfaction. Her teachings had not been entirely in vain after all.
Thinking so, Aira moved, instantly flashing in front of Bulma, then threw a punch at her chest.
Bang! A burst of sound rang out, and the next moment, Bulma's body flew backward. Looking at the constantly receding scenery around her, Bulma was startled. She hadn't expected Goku's words to come true; she really couldn't win against this guy.
However, as she landed off the stage, Bulma touched her chest with a puzzled expression. She surprisingly found that not only was she not harmed in the slightest, but even her clothes were not damaged! Was that girl really that strong?
Seeing what happened to her, although she wasn't very interested in martial arts, Bulma understood the situation she was in. To blast her off the stage with one punch like that, yet cause her no harm, required not only much greater strength than her own but also a mastery of power control that had reached its peak.
So, who was this girl? Bulma immediately became suspicious of the girl's identity. After all, in her perception, there were few people on Earth stronger than her, and only one female seemed to possess such control. Connecting this with the girl's constant discouraging words and actions, and her satisfied expression after Bulma attacked her, Bulma instantly understood the girl's identity.
Sister Aira was too much! After recognizing Aira's identity, Bulma was full of unhappiness, complaining fiercely in her heart.
Since Sister Aira was here, what about that guy Rhode? Thinking of this, Bulma looked at Rhode, who was watching the show like a spectator next to Master Roshi, with suspicion. After all, she knew very well that Rhode could use Clone Technique, so the person sitting in the audience as a cheerleader might not be Rhode himself. Was it because of Goku's parents?
While pondering, Bulma suddenly thought of Bardock and the others, finding a reason for Rhode and Aira's participation. However, no matter what, with these two participating, Goku's championship was out of the question.
Just then, the broadcast sounded, and it was Goku's turn to enter the arena.
