Like a bolt of light, he dashed before Talot, once again brandishing his iron fists straight for Talot's face.
A deafening boom erupted.
This seemingly indestructible iron fist was effortlessly blocked by Talot's left hand, perfectly neutralizing all the impact.
"Not bad power, not bad speed, but too bad, you're facing me." With that, Talot began his counterattack.
Since Tien Shinhan had brought out his true skills to fight him, he couldn't betray that fighting spirit; he had to respond in kind.
At that moment, Talot unleashed one-third of his Base Form power.
An aura reaching the 1 billion Battle Power level erupted from his body.
One-third is 1 billion Battle Power?!
That's right!
Talot's full power in Base Form was now a staggering 3 billion! Gripping Tien Shinhan's fist tightly with his left hand, Talot gathered strength and tossed him.
In an instant, immense power swept through Tien Shinhan's entire body, causing him to lose control and be flung into the air.
The sent-flying Tien Shinhan gritted his teeth, unleashing his aura to forcefully regain control of his body.
But before he could recover, Talot was already upon him, a fierce barrage of attacks engulfing him like a hurricane.
Faced with Talot's relentless assault, Tien Shinhan could only defend with all his might, but the suddenness of the attack, coupled with Talot's ferocious and sharp offensive, meant that even with timely defenses, he still suffered considerable injuries, with several fist marks appearing on his body.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!... Talot's onslaught continued, the power of his punches and kicks growing stronger with each strike, and Tien Shinhan was on the verge of collapse.
"Is that all you can take?" Talot smiled slightly, charging his right leg and unleashing a sweeping roundhouse kick, completely shattering Tien Shinhan's defense.
The terrifying power swept through Tien Shinhan's body, and in the blink of an eye, Tien Shinhan was sent flying.
Having suffered successive blows, the aura around Tien Shinhan rapidly declined, no longer as powerful and sharp as before.
If Tien Shinhan's Battle Power was 800 million before, it had now dropped to 600 million, and the intensity of his aura was still rapidly decreasing.
Pressing his advantage, Talot quickly advanced to Tien Shinhan, and before Tien Shinhan could react, he unleashed a charged punch, hitting Tien Shinhan squarely in the abdomen.
Puaah~!
A large mouthful of stomach acid mixed with blood spewed from Tien Shinhan's mouth.
At that moment, his aura plummeted by more than half, translating to a Battle Power of less than 300 million.
"It's over." As the words fell, Talot clasped his hands together, forming a war hammer, and slammed it down on the back of Tien Shinhan's neck.
BOOM! A heart-stopping roar echoed through the arena.
Having suffered a powerful blow, Tien Shinhan's body plummeted rapidly, eventually crashing into the ground.
"Tien Shinhan is out of bounds! The winner! Talot!!" This time, the Blonde Referee wasn't distracted, and with his announcement, the result of the first Top 4 Advancement Tournament match was decided.
The entire arena erupted in an uproar; no one had expected the dark horse contender for the championship to lose so decisively.
No one had expected Talot, a contestant who initially didn't seem noteworthy, to be so powerful.
Talot defeated Tien Shinhan; some lamented Tien Shinhan's loss, while others cursed him for it, as many had bet on Tien Shinhan to win.
Of course, there were also many happy people, because no one would have bet on Talot to win, so the casino made a killing.
...
Slowly descending from the sky, Talot landed precisely beside Tien Shinhan.
At that moment, Tien Shinhan, having suffered multiple heavy blows, was still struggling, eventually using his tenacious willpower to forcefully suppress the pain and slowly rise.
Talot's fists were terrifyingly heavy; a casual punch made him feel as if his body was about to shatter.
Although he had lost, he felt very happy, because this battle had given him many insights, and he had gained many new understandings in his heart. After digesting them, his strength would inevitably increase again in a very short period of time.
All thanks to Talot.
In the previous battle, he felt that Talot was intentionally pointing him in the right direction. Although he was unwilling to be eliminated, what he gained was more valuable than victory or defeat.
...
As Talot and Tien Shinhan returned to the backstage one after the other,
The second match immediately unfolded.
Son Goku VS Martial Artist Zaki! This match was as ordinary as it could get, and hardly anyone paid attention to it.
The result was without suspense.
However, Son Goku's old habit resurfaced; he gave his opponent ample opportunities, and only after thoroughly understanding the opponent's attack patterns did he eliminate him with a single move.
It must be said, this Martial Artist named Zaki actually broke through on the spot.
Among ordinary people, besides Mr. Satan, he could be considered someone of note.
The third match started immediately after.
Everyone perked up again, because the intensity of this match should be second only to the battle between Raditz and Selari!
Lagar VS Vegeta! Previously, both of them had noticed each other, and now that they were formally facing off, both sides were very curious about each other's strength.
As the two stepped onto the ring from different directions, an extremely heavy sense of oppression rapidly spread out.
Not only the ring, but even the audience was affected. The excited spectators were influenced by the powerful auras of the two.
The battle seemed to have not yet begun, but in reality, it had already started. The moment they stepped onto the ring, both sides were invisibly expanding their auras, launching the first round of confrontation.
This caused the Blonde Referee on the ring to experience immense pressure, his forehead covered with dense beads of sweat, and he was panting heavily.
"Match... start!" The Blonde Referee relied on his excellent psychological quality to barely hold on, and tremblingly announced the start of the match.
Almost the instant his voice fell...
"Haaaaaa!!!" Vegeta erupted in a fierce roar.
The Super Saiyan Energy Pool within his body was instantly mobilized, forming an incomparably powerful aura, and a powerful shockwave swept in all directions.
With his transformation stabilized, Vegeta launched a strong attack, turning into a golden ray of light that broke through space, heading straight for Lagar.
"Good!" Seeing Vegeta so energetic, Lagar's fighting spirit soared. He erupted with his aura and charged head-on towards Vegeta.
The moment the two closed in, two fists wrapped in golden and white flames simultaneously gathered power and swung out fiercely.
'Bang!!!' The moment the fists collided, electric light exploded and the space trembled.
Both were affected by the backlash of power and were knocked back simultaneously.
Vegeta, who was pushed back to the edge of the ring by the backlash, revealed a fanatical fighting intent in his eyes.
"Hmph hmph hmph... As expected, you're strong enough. In that case, Big Bang Attack!" Vegeta raised his right arm, locked onto Lagar, and condensed energy in his palm.
The next second, an azure blue energy bullet shot out rapidly from his palm, heading straight for Lagar.
Faced with this infinitely powerful attack, Lagar did not dodge. He crossed his hands and condensed a large energy ball, driving it with his aura and shooting it out, colliding head-on with Vegeta's Big Bang Attack.
'Rumble~~!!!' The two energies collided, and the firelight shot out from the explosion soared into the sky.
At the same time, Lagar and Vegeta used this soaring firelight to quickly charge towards each other.
'Boom~~!!!' Another burst of loud noise spread in all directions.
Vegeta and Lagar became entangled, and the fierce battle between the two completely erupted at this moment.
Vegeta went all out, fully displaying his Prince Fighting Style, without the slightest bit of holding back.
The devastating offensive, like a violent storm, attacked Lagar. The fierce offensive was not at the same level as his previous battle with Nappa.
Every attack was aimed directly at Lagar's vital points. This terrifying offensive, only attacking and not defending, seemed to want to defeat Lagar in one fell swoop.
However, how could Lagar, as the strongest Namekian of the current era, be so easily defeated by Vegeta?
After sensing Vegeta's powerful strength, he excitedly erupted with all of his Battle Power in Base Form.
However, relying solely on all of his power in Base Form was still not enough to deal with Vegeta's fierce attack. Forced to do so, Lagar mobilized the Energy Pool of a deeper layer of power within his body.
There were faint golden arcs of electricity in the aura around him.
The situation changed slightly, and the two engaged in an evenly matched fist and foot contest.
'Bang! Pound! Bang! Pound! Bang! Pound!...' The collision of fists and feet, how intense, how passionate.
The battle between the two continued to intensify, with the collision of their bodies sending out streaks of lightning in the space, stirring up layers of storms.
Both sides maneuvered, constantly shuttling back and forth between the arena and the air, and the speed of their movements increased.
In just a few seconds, the two had exchanged blows no less than hundreds of times.
Vegeta, who only attacked and never defended, had finally met a formidable opponent.
Because he discovered that Lagar's understanding of offense was not inferior to his own.
The two exchanged hundreds of moves, and their attacks were neutralized by the other.
This situation made their eyes light up, and the burning fighting spirit flowing within them seemed even more intense.
'Bang!!'
Vegeta's heavy punch hit the side of Lagar's right face.
'Thump!!'
Lagar's upward kick landed squarely on Vegeta's jaw.
After both suffered injuries to varying degrees, they simultaneously distanced themselves and landed on opposite sides of the arena.
"You have some strength, as expected of an opponent worthy of this Prince." Vegeta raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiling with excitement.
"Your strength is also good. This is the most enjoyable fight I've had besides my battle with Talot," Lagar also wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, praising Vegeta.
Hearing Lagar's praise, Vegeta remained unmoved, only snorting lightly.
He hated being compared to Talot the most.
"You seem to misunderstand this Prince's strength. This is just the beginning. Open your eyes wide and see clearly, this Prince's true power!" With that, Vegeta directly mobilized a deeper layer of the Energy Pool within his body.
Lagar's strength had already gained his approval, so there was no need to continue hiding it. He would go all out!
'Crackling~~!!!'
Streaks of blue and white arcs of electricity exploded around Vegeta, and the golden aura around him turned into a jet-like form, his golden, upright hair transforming into a sky-piercing, furious mane!
With the combative factors and S-Cells in his body in a state of complete activation, Vegeta now only felt the blood in his body boiling, making him eagerly crave battle. The Saiyan's warlike nature was about to be suppressed! In the Super Saiyan Second Grade state, his Battle Power directly exceeded 1 billion points.
...
In the backstage rest area.
"That guy Vegeta has indeed mastered Super Saiyan Second Grade, but his Base Form strength is too weak," Raditz said.
He had noticed it earlier when Vegeta fought Nappa.
However, Vegeta's transformation was too fast at the time. He instantly killed Nappa in the blink of an eye and then reverted from the transformation.
Besides him, only Selari and Talot should have seen it.
"His Super Saiyan Second Grade should have only been completed recently, and his control over the power needs to be improved," Selari explained.
"Vegeta that guy... has already reached this step? I am indeed far behind." Nappa's mouth was wide open after seeing Vegeta's change on the arena, recalling his previous battle with Vegeta.
At that time, he was wondering why Vegeta would solve him in the Super Kaio-ken state in an instant.
So... it was with the power of Super Saiyan Second Grade.
"So strong, Vegeta's aura has far surpassed Lagar!" Son Goku was very surprised by Vegeta's strength.
Recalling when Vegeta first descended on Earth, although his Base Form Battle Power was strong, he did not have the Super Saiyan transformation, so he had always been far ahead, but look at now.
Vegeta not only surpassed himself in Base Form Battle Power, but even mastered the Super Saiyan Second Grade transformation...
Unknowingly, his strength had been left so far behind by the other party!
"The exciting part is still to come, you can watch slowly." Talot crossed his arms, waiting for the fierce battle between Vegeta and Lagar.
Although Vegeta's strength was strong, Lagar's strength would definitely not be inferior to him.
Since his battle with Lagar, Lagar had awakened part of the Dragon God's power. Now that so much time had passed, Talot did not believe that he had not made any progress.
After all, Nail and Piccolo could mobilize a trace of the Dragon God's power.
...
On the arena.
As the Super Saiyan Second Grade transformation stabilized, Vegeta's mouth almost curved to the sky, his confidence overflowing.
"Apart from that Nappa, you are the second person who can make this Prince actively use Super Saiyan Second Grade to fight, prepare yourself!" Vegeta's aura was like a rainbow, and with the power of Super Saiyan Second Grade, he was even more arrogant and conceited.
Apart from Raditz, Selari, and Talot, he didn't care about anyone else.
With the blessing of Super Saiyan Second Grade, he confidently believed that no one could fight him, even if Lagar's strength was very strong, it was just so-so.
At this moment, Lagar was not affected by Vegeta's words at all, his eyes were looking up and down at Vegeta.
In just a few glances, he could see the approximate strength of Vegeta in Super Saiyan Second Grade.
