Chapter 789: Vigorous
Neither Xili nor Beerus expected the Saiyan of Universe 6 to be sent flying so easily. Faced with the mocking of Beerus, Champa became gloomy and could no longer control his anger.
“Beerus, don’t be too pleased. Wasn’t your contestant also eliminated!”
“Tch, 21 at least won one round, but you haven’t even won a round. Besides… I have four people left, and you have only three, so just admit defeat as soon as possible.” Beerus picked his ears and blew on his finger. Seeing his lazy and indifferent look, Champa immediately exploded into fury. He couldn’t stand Beerus’ arrogant att.i.tude the most.
Turning around, Champa roared at the remaining contestants behind him with a dark look on his face: “Who is the third one? At least win one round!”
“Leave the next round to me.” The namekian Saonel stood up.
“Umm, then you had better win the round.” There was a dangerous glint in Champa’s golden eyes. If he lost this round too, he wouldn’t be able to accept it.
“…”
Saonel didn’t speak. He tapped his feet and disappeared before quickly appearing in the arena.
“Humph!”
There was a cold snort in the vast tournament venue. Seeing that Champa had sent his contestant, Beerus turned around and set his eyes on Zangya: “Zangya, I’ll leave the next round to you.” Compared with Champa’s nervousness, there were more contestants left on Universe 7’s side, so Beerus was much calmer.
“Finally, it’s my turn. You guys just watch.” Zangya stroked her orange curly hair with a smile on her aqua-blue face, then she floated up and coolly jumped onto the arena.
3rd round, Xili, Saonel and Zangya.
“Come on, Zangya, the Saiyan girl’s Ki is almost exhausted, you need to eliminate her first.” Android 21, who was standing below, shouted.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, she is too much, thinking about taking advantage of her situation.” Caulifla glared at Android 21.
“There is nothing that can be done. It is the rule of the tournament.”
Xiang pulled Caulifla back and shook his head.
“Then the problem is with the rule!” Caulifla said unconvinced.
Xiang was dumbfounded, but he immediately shook his head. There is no absolute fairness in the world. Every choice made by oneself is always made under relatively fair conditions. Even if the conditions are not fair, you must learn to adapt. Take this tournament as an example, the rules are very simple and fair, but to say that these rules are perfect is not necessarily true!
When three sides enter the arena, it is inevitable to choose who to fight first and who to fight later. This actually involves game theory, in which the role of the rules is second and the most important thing is the choice of the contestants themselves. Should the strong eliminate the weakest first, or should the strong eliminate the strong one first or should the weak ones eliminate the weak ones first. They have to choose which will give them the best chance of winning. Not only one has to consider one round, but also the next few rounds as well the whole team’s winning or losing chances.
Of course, one’s own strength is very important, but decisions made on the scene are also very important.
Just take the example of Xili’s fight against 21 and Cabba. Although from the result, she luckily won because Cabba couldn’t perform transformation into Super Saiyan, but from a tactical point of view, Xili definitely made a mistake during the match!
Her victory was actually based on a certain amount of luck. What if it wasn’t Cabba that Universe 6 sent at that time, but someone else? Because of her fighting style, wouldn’t the opponent win the match without breaking a sweat and still reserve their full strength to advance to the next round?
So, not only Universe 6 would have easily won one round, but also still have the ability to fight in the next round and go for the win. There would also be an extra Cabba who could not consume any energy at all! The outcome would have been a very close call.
……
Returning to the match, as the tournament entered the third round, Piccolo became very serious after Saonel entered the arena. As a rare warrior-type Namekian of Universe 7, Piccolo couldn’t help but look forward to Saonel’s performance.
“Namekian Saonel, I wonder how powerful he is?”
“Strange, his Ki is not the same as Namekians of our universe. It slightly seems to give the feeling of a divine dragon. Is it because the ones in Universe 6 are different?” Dende from Earth was feeling slightly surprised. A divine dragon’s aura could be sensed from a Namekian, which he had never seen before.
An icy cold wind blew. Xiling looked at the contestants below. She had heard from Xiaya about Zangya’s improvement in strength and sure enough, she seems to have become much stronger than before. And that Namekian named Saonel has a calm demeanor and his realm also seems to be quite high.
She couldn’t help but feel worried for Xili.
For mortals, it is quite difficult to comprehend Realm, or to say there is a lack of means to comprehend the profound realm. Without any guidance, only when their strength reaches a certain level and they touch upon high-level matters, they slowly may be able to comprehend Realm.
Therefore, if their Realm is high, even if they are not G.o.d, their strength cannot be underestimated. Realm can further improve their powerful strength.
It is just like advancing from Super Saiyan to Super Saiyan G.o.d. Whether it is in terms of strength or realm, Super Saiyan G.o.d is far superior to Super Saiyan.
“Xili’s current situation is not good. She will find it hard to preserve if she can’t recover using the Senzu Bean.” Xiling’s gaze looked away from Saonel and landed on Xili as she concluded with a frown on her face.
“Tournament has banned the use of any external items, and of course Senzu Beans can’t be used either.” Xiaya shook his head and said. Although there is no clear rule, Beerus and Champa will not let them use things like Senzu Bean, which have disruptive effects and can change the situation of the fight.
Xiling also understands this. She was just talking about it.
Sure enough, soon after the fight began, Xili, who had consumed a lot of energy in the previous round, could feel that she would soon be unable to hold on. “Xili, that Namekian is very powerful. Do you want to join forces with me to deal with him?” After exchanging a few blows with Saonel and probing him out, Zangya could also feel that he was very troublesome and suggested to Xili.
“Okay!” Xili nodded and exhaled a long breath. She adjusted her breathing and stood together with Zangya.
“It seems that the two of you have reached an agreement, but that’s fine. Let me defeat you both in one go.” Saonel leisurely walked towards the two of them.
“Don’t be too arrogant.” Zangya said angrily.
Saonel glanced at Xili and Zangya, and his eyes burst out with a bright light. Without saying anything, he stretched out his arms and attacked Xili and Zangya directly across a distance of dozens of meters.
Zangya and Xili knew about Namekian’s abilities and didn’t panic. Both of them jumped away to separate sides. The dark green arms turned in mid-air as if they had eyes, and kept chasing after them.
“Stop!”
With a loud shout, Zangya’s hair swayed and she no longer tried to dodge, instead she attacked Saonel. But the sight in front of her suddenly changed and Saonel had disappeared in front of Zangya. Her beautiful face slightly furrowed as a biting-cold chill approached her. She suddenly hit the void on one side.
“Not good!”
Pop! A loud sound of air exploding resounded in the arena and Zangya’s attack didn’t hit the opponent.
Suddenly feeling a chill in her mind as if locked onto by a beast in a dark forest, Saonel’s blurry figure silently appeared above Zangya. A green light flashed and a fist suddenly appeared above Zangya’s head.
Zangya’s eyes turned and she was about to counterattack when suddenly golden Ki waves swept over with a thundering sound like drum beats. Xili was the one who reacted first and blocked Saonel’s attack.
