Raditz and Lagar simultaneously stepped onto the arena, their minds resonating as two top experts.
An invisible aura permeated the air, and before the battle even began, the atmosphere became heavy.
Raditz crossed his arms, his face full of arrogance. His Base Form Battle Power of 220 million exerted an invisible pressure on Lagar.
Faced with Raditz's oppressive aura, Lagar remained unaffected, his own invisible aura dispelling Raditz's pressure.
"The final match of the semi-finals, begin!" the Blonde Referee announced, officially starting the match.
Almost as soon as the referee's voice fell, Raditz and Lagar acted simultaneously.
Both transformed into afterimages and vanished from their spots, reappearing in mid-air, instinctively throwing a punch.
Boom!!! A violent muffled sound echoed through the space.
Raditz and Lagar's iron fists collided, both being forced backward by the recoil.
However, Raditz was pushed back six or seven meters, while Lagar only retreated two meters.
After this exchange, both had a general understanding of each other's strength.
"Interesting! You are indeed strong." Raditz grinned, opening his arms and waving them rapidly.
In an instant, countless energy blasts with astonishing destructive power tore through the space, hurtling towards Lagar.
Faced with this all-out offensive, Lagar didn't dare to underestimate it in the slightest.
If it were someone else, he might have held back a little, but his opponent was Raditz, and he couldn't afford to be careless.
"Haaah!!" Lagar unleashed an invisible sonic wave.
This wave stirred up ripples in the space, and its powerful impact instantly detonated all the energy blasts in front of him.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ... The consecutively exploding energy blasts transformed into a thick wall of flames, blocking Lagar and Raditz's line of sight, isolating them.
This was exactly Raditz's plan, using the thick wall of flames to block their vision and cut off perception.
Seizing the opportunity, Raditz used Instant Transmission to appear behind Lagar, his iron fist, filled with killing intent, suddenly striking out.
Lagar didn't dodge or evade, seemingly about to be hit by this punch.
"You're too careless." Raditz smiled contemptuously, but just as he thought his fist was about to hit Lagar, an unexpected scene unfolded.
Whoosh! A sound of air being torn apart rang out, and Raditz's fist passed directly through Lagar's body, but his fist didn't feel any substantial contact.
"This is... an afterimage?!! So fast!" Raditz realized what had happened and was shocked.
The next second, his back went cold as he felt a sense of danger coming from behind him, and his expression changed drastically.
Lagar appeared behind him, his right hand with fingers spread, aimed at his back.
"The one who's careless is you, not me!" As the words fell, Lagar decisively released the aura gathered in his palm.
He used Ki Blast Cannon, the powerful aura impacting Raditz's body, instantly blasting Raditz away for more than ten meters.
Hit by the Ki Blast Cannon, Raditz didn't panic. He quickly regained control of his body, quickly turned around, and prepared to fight.
Lagar also dashed in front of him at the first moment.
Lagar wouldn't miss such a good opportunity, especially against an opponent as strong as Raditz.
Lagar threw a heavy punch, and Raditz instinctively raised his hand to defend.
Bang!!! A loud sound echoed.
The violent power caused ripples in the space, and this incomparably sturdy shockwave swept through Raditz's body, blasting him away in an instant.
Engulfed by the immense force, Raditz was shocked, not expecting Lagar's power to be so sturdy, which further stimulated the battle-loving cells in his body.
"Interesting!" Raditz grinned, quickly powering up to stabilize his body, then powering up again and rushing straight at Lagar.
Boom!!! The two collided in mid-air, causing the space to ripple, and a magnificent battle erupted.
Lagar and Raditz fought as one, their fists and feet constantly attacking each other, with one fierce attack after another, the space rippling, and the aftershocks impacting all directions.
Each collision between their limbs unleashed a powerful shockwave that went straight to the soul.
Raditz, as a Saiyan whose strength was second only to Talot, possessed a Battle Power far beyond what Son Goku and Vegeta could match. In his battle with Lagar, he deciphered his opponent's attacks in just a few short exchanges.
However, Lagar's Battle Power reached 550 million, more than double that of Raditz. Even with his moves being read, Raditz remained at a disadvantage.
"Power Bombardment Cannon!" Lagar thrust his hands forward, unleashing a golden beam of energy from his palms, carrying unparalleled destructive power as it shot towards Raditz.
"A powerful attack, but not impossible to overcome! Double Kaio-ken!! Shining—Impact Cannon!" Enhanced by the Double Kaio-ken, Raditz casually unleashed his own finishing move.
The moment their energy attacks collided in mid-air, a deafening super explosion erupted. White light of destruction bloomed, its blinding glare causing everyone in the audience to raise their hands to shield their eyes.
Before long, the white light dissipated, and the intense battle between Lagar and Raditz continued to heat up. Neither side yielded, and in those brief seconds, they had already clashed several times, neutralizing each other's moves no less than a hundred times.
Yet, the course of the battle consistently tilted in Lagar's favor. Even with Raditz using the Double Kaio-ken to boost his strength, he couldn't pose a threat to Lagar.
Conversely, while Lagar could suppress Raditz, he couldn't completely overwhelm him, because Raditz's true power was far from being fully displayed.
"Even Double Kaio-ken can't affect you as you are now? I'm curious just how high your Battle Power has reached! Triple Kaio-ken!!" With a loud shout, Raditz actively unleashed the Triple Kaio-ken state.
Vast, blood-colored killing intent erupted continuously, and the intense aura of pressure impacted all directions. Lagar was caught off guard and forced back several meters by the force of the aura.
With the Triple Kaio-ken boost, Raditz's Battle Power soared to 660 million, completely surpassing Lagar.
Pressing the advantage, Raditz seized the opportunity to charge forward at full speed, transforming into a streak of blood-colored light as he rushed towards Lagar.
Seeing this, Lagar's right arm flashed with a sharp white light. He swung his arm, creating an unstoppable wave of energy that hurtled towards Raditz.
A whooshing sound echoed as the space rippled from Lagar's strike.
Close-range slashes were generally unavoidable, but Raditz was no ordinary person; he was a Saiyan second only to Talot!
Missing with his first attack, Lagar struck again, unleashing a series of slashes that created layers of ripples in space, demonstrating the sharpness of his attacks. A single graze could separate even a similarly powerful opponent's head from their body.
Raditz created an afterimage in place, which was cleaved in two by Lagar's hand blade, while his true form silently appeared behind Lagar.
Boom!!!
Struck heavily, Lagar crashed into the Martial Arts Arena like a shooting star.
Despite the heavy blow, Lagar was unharmed, though the burning pain on his back would linger for a while.
Of course, this also served as a stimulant to push him to become stronger.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The sound of air being torn apart echoed continuously through the space.
Before Lagar could defend himself, Raditz launched an attack, with dense energy blasts raining down on Lagar like a storm of pear blossoms.
Faced with this comprehensive, all-encompassing energy bombardment, Lagar knew there was no retreat. He simply erupted with energy, creating a giant barrier to withstand Raditz's full-scale assault.
Waves of energy blasts struck Lagar's giant barrier one after another, the fire of the explosions expanding continuously. The force of the aftershocks caused the entire Papaya Island to tremble violently.
It had to be said that Lagar's defensive measures were truly top-notch. Even Raditz, enhanced by the Triple Kaio-ken, couldn't break through his protective barrier in a short time.
"This isn't enough to shatter your defense? Then you'll have to withstand this move!" Raditz's face revealed a mischievous smile at this sight.
He then adopted the stance for releasing his finishing move. The Super Shining Impact Cannon rapidly took shape in his palms. As he swung his hands, a crimson-gold beam of energy shot out from his hands, like a roaring golden dragon, heading straight for Lagar.
In the blink of an eye, Lagar's invisible barrier was shattered, and the Super Shining Impact Cannon mercilessly engulfed his body.
Rumble! A blinding fire soared into the sky, the flames of destruction impacting all directions, like venomous snakes baring their fangs, ready to devour everything around them.
However, after expanding to a certain point, it was easily diluted by the invisible Angel power.
Everyone and all the powerful individuals present watched this scene, observing quietly.
This battle had only just begun.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, at the center of the explosion, a hurricane swept out, dispersing all the flames.
At the same time, Lagar reappeared, having mobilized a deeper layer of the Dragon God Power within him. His Battle Power exceeded 1 billion.
"Take this!!" With a loud shout, Lagar attacked again, his entire being shooting out like a cannonball, heading straight for Raditz.
"Coming at me!" Seeing this, Raditz's fighting spirit was ignited, and he increased the Kaio-ken to five times its power, keeping his strength on par with Lagar.
Fearless, Raditz transformed into a streak of blood-colored light, colliding with Lagar from the sky.
Boom!!!! The moment they collided, visible ripples spread through space. Their fists clashed again, the impact of their power causing both sides to suffer varying degrees of backlash.
They were both knocked back simultaneously, but they also used their own methods to skillfully defuse the remaining power impact within their bodies. The two quickly turned in mid-air, eventually landing steadily on the Martial Arts Arena.
The first round of the exchange thus came to an end.
The two locked eyes, with faint smiles on their faces.
Just now was merely a mutual probing, a minor skirmish, which had no impact on either of them.
What follows is the real battle.
"The warm-up should be over. Show me your true strength, Lagar. I know you have even greater hidden power!" Raditz took the initiative to suggest. His battle-hungry genes had been completely activated in the previous sparring match.
He couldn't wait to fight Lagar to the end, venting the fighting desire within him.
Hearing this, Lagar's lips curled up slightly, and he responded, "It's not impossible to make me show my true skills to fight, but shouldn't you also transform into a Super Saiyan?"
"That's exactly what I intend!" With that said, Raditz clenched his fists, a golden light flashing in his eyes. S-Cells were fully activated at this moment, and golden energy, like a raging fire, surrounded his body.
In the blink of an eye, he completed the transformation into Super Saiyan First Stage Full Power! With the blessing of Super Saiyan First Stage, Raditz's Battle Power soared to over ten billion, approaching 18 billion points.
A powerful aura enveloped all directions, and he stood there like an invincible war god, exuding infinite pressure.
"As you wish, I have transformed into a Super Saiyan. Hurry up and show me your true skills." Raditz said with his arms crossed, looking proud.
At this time, after feeling Raditz's powerful aura, a look of surprise flashed in Lagar's eyes, and then the corners of his mouth rose. In just a few glances, he analyzed the extent of Raditz's current strength.
"Watch carefully! This is my power, the power of us Namekians." As soon as the words fell, Lagar clenched his fists, and a powerful aura instantly took shape.
The Dragon God Power in his body was like an erupting volcano, endless and unceasing. The violent aura shockwave shook all directions, and an aura even more formidable than Raditz's rapidly expanded.
The two auras collided, shooting out astonishing destructive lightning bolts in the center of the Martial Arts Arena.
Lagar's energy expanded to an unimaginable level, not only able to contend with Raditz's Super Saiyan First Stage, but even faintly showing a tendency to surpass it.
In the backstage, Selari, through the Virtual Glasses analysis, saw that Lagar's current Battle Power value had reached 20 billion points.
It was even stronger than Raditz in the Super Saiyan First Stage Full Power state.
"Such a strong energy, but this shouldn't be your full strength, right?" Raditz was shocked by Lagar's power, but at the same time, he saw through it at a glance that Lagar was still hiding something.
"Haven't you shown all your strength either? In that case, why should I be in such a hurry to show all my strength to fight you?" Lagar restrained his aura and smiled lightly at Raditz.
"You're right. In that case, let's see who can't help but show their true skills first." Hearing this, Raditz was not angry, but instead adopted a fighting stance.
"Then let's do it!" Lagar also adopted his unique fighting posture.
