Chapter 787: Second match
Since Universe Tournament is a three-way melee, it is inevitable that there will be several situations of varying intensity in each match.
If two of the three contestants are weaker than the last contestant, then in order to win, the two weaker contestants will most likely have to form an alliance against the stronger contestant, which is forced by the situation, otherwise they have no hope of winning. In another situation, if there are two strong people and one weak, then it is difficult to say. The weak may be killed immediately so that when the two strong people are fighting, the weak one doesn’t take advantage, but if the disparity is too big, they may be ignored and kept for the last.
Universe 6’s Kreed is the former case, so he was killed immediately.
As for when three equally powerful people fight, it would be a real melee.
“In front of Obuni and 21, Kreed was too weak, so he was eliminated early. Now the fight between Obuni and 21 is going to be more intense. According to the rules of the tournament, one of them has to be eliminated.”
Xiaya gave his evaluation, and then watched seriously.
In such knockout rounds, eliminating one person is not enough as only one of the three people can stay for the next round.
In the arena, after Kreed was knocked down by Obuni, 21’s eyes lit up and then the corners of her mouth curled into a bewitching smile like a crescent moon. As if she had discovered something, she went into action again.
From the previous bout, she already knows how troublesome her opponent is. Obuni can finely control the Ki in his body to create afterimages that are almost the same as his main body to confuse the opponent. This technique is similar to Planet Metamor’s Real and Unreal transformation technique, but it is fundamentally different. Obuni’s technique consumes more Ki and requires high stamina.
This shortcoming was quickly detected by 21.
Then in the next bout, 21 changed her attack patterns intentionally or unintentionally in order to consume Obuni’s Ki. As the fight continued, wonderful scenes emerged non-stop, which made people’s blood boil.
Especially Saiyans from Planet Hongshan, they had been looking forward to a wonderful battle. So seeing Obuni and 21 exchanging blows without any pause, all of their faces turned red in excitement while shouting loudly.
“Amazing, they are so fast. Both of them are definitely top experts.” Saiyans from Planet Hongshan were overjoyed, very excited.
“So satisfying, this is really a wonderful fight.”
They could only see brief glimpses, and couldn’t see the main scenes, but the wonderful scenes unfolding before them were enough for them to be excited.
On Universe 7’s side, Piccolo and Tien s.h.i.+nhan were also watching seriously, their eyes moving around non-stop to follow the fight.
Master Ros.h.i.+ leaned forward and looked at the two sides fighting in the distance through his sungla.s.ses. It may be because of the enormous disparity in level, but Master Ros.h.i.+ wasn’t able to watch the fight for a long time.
“Sigh, too powerful. So, this is a universe-level fight.”
“Compared with them, the martial art fights on Earth are all just small-scale.”
Remembering his experience of learning martial arts from Master Mutaito when he was young, Master Ros.h.i.+ couldn’t help feeling very emotional.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
There were only two dazzling figures that could be seen in the huge arena. Due to the lightning-fast fight between Obuni and 21, hundreds of blows were exchanged every time they collided. Their bodies keep flas.h.i.+ng around, leaving afterimages everywhere in the arena.
But gradually, the advantage of 21’s endless energy became prominent, and with Obuni’s constant use of feint technique, his stamina gradually couldn’t keep up with 21.
Xiaya, who was silently watching in the stands, shook his head and said: “If Obuni doesn’t seize the opportunity to find a breakthrough as soon as possible, the fight will become more and more difficult.” As he said that, he glanced at 18 intentionally or unintentionally. During Planet Hongshan’s Martial Arts Tournament, when Myers and 18 fought, 18 won because of her endless stamina.
As expected, after a few more rounds of fierce fighting, Obuni gradually began to breathe heavily, but 21 remained calm as usual, not even panting as if she hadn’t moved at all.
The advantage of endless energy was plainly visible.
Bang! The violent impact shook the entire tournament venue, and Obuni finally couldn’t match Android 21’s stamina and unfortunately lost the match.
“Universe 10’s Obuni has been defeated and is eliminated, and Universe 7’s Android 21 has won. Next, Universe 10 and Universe 6, please send your second contestant.”
As the winning side, Whis announced the result.
“Hahaha, good one, Android 21 with your persistent effort. Knock down all the opponents.” Beerus was elated and he crossed his arms as he kept nodding while sitting in the spectator’s stand.
“Ancestor, our Universe 7 won the first match.” East Supreme Kai was so excited that if it wasn’t for him taking the Supreme Kai’s image into consideration, he really wanted to jump up and loudly cheer.
“Don’t get excited, the tournament has just started.” The old Supreme Kai was mature and calm, sitting in his seat calmly, but his drooping face was full of smiles, showing that he was also in a good mood.
“Sorry, Xiaya-sama. I lost.”
Obuni returned to the spectator’s stand of Universe 10 and said with an ashamed look on his face. He was so highly regarded by the G.o.d of Destruction-sama, but he lost in just the first match. He couldn’t help but feel embarra.s.sed.
Shaking his head, Xiaya looked at Obuni with a faint smile: “You don’t have to take the victory or defeat so seriously, your opponent was really quite strong. You don’t need to take it to heart and just continue to train diligently.”
Frankly speaking, Xiaya doesn’t take the results of the next few matches seriously, because the tournament was based on the knockout system. As long as there is a powerful expert on his side who can last till the end of the tournament, he can obtain the final victory. And there are undoubtedly such people among several contestants of Universe 10. Meifei, Xiang, Xili, Majin Buu, none of them are simple people.
Xiaya was more focused on the later matches.
“Hmm!” Obuni’s countenance looked slightly better, but he was still a little ashamed.
“Xili, you go up next.” Indifferently watching Obuni take a seat, Xiaya said to his second daughter Xili. According to the prior arrangements, Xili is the second contestant who will take the stage.
“Dad, leave it to me.” With her beautiful black hair swinging, Xili responded heroically and then jumped onto the arena.
After Xili entered the arena, everyone in the spectator’s seats looked over. Because it was Xiaya’s daughter, Xili was receiving unusual attention.
“Hey, that person is Xiaya’s daughter. Is 21 going to be fine?” Seeing that the person who entered the arena was Xili, Beerus was unknowingly worried for 21, but he immediately calmed down.
“Come on Xili!” Adri and others were cheering for Xili.
“The second contestant to take the stage is actually Xili.” Vegeta was surprised, but thinking of Universe 10’s partic.i.p.ants, he felt that it was natural. Among Xiaya’s children, Xili, although strong, is not the most outstanding.
“Take the stage, take the stage, Xili destroy them all.” Caulifla couldn’t compete herself, but her enthusiasm didn’t decrease. She was overjoyed as if she was the one fighting.
“Um!”
Xili’s jade-like beautiful face glanced at Android 21, who was a few hundred meters away before her eyes turned to Universe 6′ side, not knowing which contestant would be sent by them.
On Universe 6’s side, Champa has been looking gloomy ever since Kreed was the first to lose. His entire body was emitting an icy aura as he said unhappily: “The second contestant, Cabba, you go up. You are both Saiyans, so don’t lose to Xiaya’s daughter.”
“Yes, Champa-sama.” The dead-fish looking Cabba responded and then he climbed up the arena.
Since Cabba is a Saiyan from Universe 6, it attracted the attention of Goku, Vegeta and others. Cabba’s outfit was indeed similar to the outfit of Planet Vegeta’s Saiyan before they joined the Frieza Force. Vegeta still remembers this from a long time ago.
“Saiyan of Planet Sadala, let me see how impressive you are!” Vegeta muttered to himself before focusing on the arena.
Soon, the second match started.
Immediately after the gong sound, Xili, Cabba and 21 separated. None of them took the initiative to attack first, they were all on guard as they tried to probe each other. Xili glanced at Cabba, the relatively thin Saiyan looked really weak, but she could sense a powerful aura from him.
“Amazing, Cabba’s Normal State Battle Power is actually so high! If he transforms into Super Saiyan, maybe he will become even more terrifying.”
Because she knows the mysteries of Super Saiyan, Xili naturally counts Cabba, who has such Battle Power in Normal State, as a Super Saiyan and was very wary of him. But she didn’t know that the Super Saiyan transformation knowledge of Universe 6 had been lost during the conflict with Namekians in ancient times.
The atmosphere calmed down, and everyone held their breaths in antic.i.p.ation.
Suddenly, Android 21 took a few steps forward first. There was a crack sound under her feet, and a few stones bounced from the ground. 21’s body suddenly became blurry and like a gust of wind, she pierced through the s.p.a.ce.
Xili didn’t dare to be careless when she saw this. She gave a loud shout and her body erupted out with golden light, and a female Super Saiyan appeared in front of everyone. Compared with a male Super Saiyan, female Super Saiyan is a bit more feminine.
Soon, strong energies collided against each other and golden Ki waves spread out in all directions. Surrounded by incomparable power, it collided with Android 21’s energy. Chi, chi chi, like the sound of boiling water in an iron kettle, it created low humming sounds.
Ha! ! Xili and 21 began to exchange blows.
“What is your form called?” Seeing Xili’s transformation, Android 21 asked with great interest while exchanging blows with her.
“Super Saiyan!”
Xili’s bright and clear voice echoed in the arena as her dark green eyes flashed with a flowing light. Then, she lightly stamped her feet and like a dazzling light ray, she kept adjusting her attacking directions.
“Amazing, so this is the Super Saiyan that Zangya mentioned to me. What is its working mechanism, what is the reliable range and why are they able to erupt out with such powerful strength?” 21 seems to be completely at ease as she keeps raising her questions.
