On the ring.
"Strong!"
Master Roshi looked at Lin Xuan and chuckled, "Come on, Lin Xuan, I'm really looking forward to seeing just how powerful you are now!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan smiled faintly. "As you wish!"
"Boom!"
The next second, a one-hundred-meter-tall golden giant rose from the ring, floating in mid-air like a god descending, creating an extremely spectacular scene.
This was none other than Lin Xuan's Perfect Susano'o!
At this moment, Master Roshi's mouth twitched.
How was he supposed to fight this?
I was just being polite, kid. Did you really have to pull out your ultimate move right away? Are you going to transform dozens more, just like on the Sabaody Archipelago before?
At this very moment, everyone present, as well as the viewers in front of their television screens, were too stunned by the sight to speak.
After a long while, people gradually reacted.
"This golden giant looks a bit like the one Uchiha Madara used, but it seems a lot more majestic!"
"This is completely astonishing. How on earth is this done?"
...
At this point, Krillin swallowed hard and asked weakly, "Can... can Master Roshi really beat this?"
"So strong! I can feel an overwhelmingly powerful aura!" Even Goku furrowed his brow.
He felt an unprecedented pressure emanating from Lin Xuan. Even the old Kami (God) was far less imposing!
While everyone was in shock, Uchiha Madara wore a look of utter exasperation.
He figured Lin Xuan must have seen him gaining a lot of attention with his Susano'o earlier, which was why he pulled out his own version right away.
The fact that Lin Xuan's Susano'o was bigger and flashier than his own was proof enough!
Soon, Master Roshi gritted his teeth on the ring and initiated his attack against the massive form.
As for Lin Xuan, he still wanted to grandstand a bit on the ring to harvest more prestige points, so he naturally didn't want the match to end so quickly.
Lin Xuan suddenly deactivated his Susano'o, because, just as Uchiha Madara suspected, he had only used it to show off.
He returned to the ring and, surprisingly, began to spar with Master Roshi using the Kame Sen-Ryu martial arts. The two fought intensely.
However, anyone who wasn't blind could tell that Lin Xuan was not using his true strength, as he was fighting too casually.
In fact, whatever Master Roshi used, Lin Xuan would immediately counter with the same technique.
When Master Roshi used his fists and feet, Lin Xuan used his fists and feet; when he used the Kamehameha, Lin Xuan used the Kamehameha; when he used the Bankoku Bikkuri Sho (World-Surprise Attack), Lin Xuan used the Bankoku Bikkuri Sho!
Moreover, the power he unleashed was just slightly stronger than Master Roshi's!
This type of battle once again shocked many people regarding Lin Xuan's power.
Especially Goku and the others; while amazed that Master Roshi's strength was far beyond what they originally imagined, they were even more astounded by the fact that Lin Xuan, this "successor" of the Kame Sen-Ryu, also possessed a mastery of the style that far surpassed their own!
Finally, Lin Xuan noticed that the prestige points had stopped increasing and quickly began to unleash his stronger true power.
Master Roshi felt helpless. Although he had diligently trained and significantly improved his power recently, the gap between him and Lin Xuan was still immeasurable.
With no other choice, Master Roshi conceded the match, bringing the fight to an end!
Lin Xuan also left the ring, feeling satisfied.
Afterward, he had the Ninja Guild quickly repair the ring, which he and Master Roshi had damaged, and continued with the subsequent matches.
The sixth match was Whitebeard vs. Jiraiya!
Upon hearing the announcer call out his name, Whitebeard laughed heartily. "Gurarararara! Finally, another chance to fight!"
Then, he strode onto the ring.
On the other side, Jiraiya also ascended the ring, his face equally filled with excitement.
After all, Whitebeard was hailed as the Strongest Man in the world of One Piece, and many people in the Ninja Guild had wanted to cross swords with him but never had the opportunity.
He grinned at Whitebeard and said, "Old man, even though you're an ally of our Ninja Guild, I don't plan on holding back!"
Whitebeard also cracked a smile and said indifferently, "Go all out! Let me see just how powerful this thing called Ninjutsu really is!"
Seeing that both men were eager for a major battle, the announcer wasted no time and declared, "Let the match begin!"
Immediately, both men on the ring moved simultaneously!
"Sage Mode!"
Jiraiya's face instantly took on the Sage facial markings. Evidently, he had already prepared for this while still below the ring.
Then, he immediately unleashed his ultimate move against Whitebeard: "Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"
"Chiii! Chiii!"
Amidst the ear-piercing rush of wind, a massive shuriken shot toward Whitebeard!
Seeing this, Whitebeard's eyes narrowed slightly. "Gurarararara! This guy named Jiraiya really isn't holding back! But that's good!"
Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability: Crack!
Whitebeard casually threw out a punch, and an instantaneous, terrifying tremor erupted!
"Boom!"
The Rasenshuriken, which had just reached him, shattered instantly, stirring up gusts of fierce wind all around!
Many people from the Ninja World widened their eyes at the sight.
They hadn't expected Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability to be so powerful; it could even shatter an attack as terrifying as the Rasenshuriken with a single tremor!
The audience, knowing even less, was simply astonished.
They didn't understand what a Devil Fruit was, so they simply regarded Whitebeard's ability as some kind of mysterious Ninjutsu, and they were utterly amazed.
This is bad! Could it be that he can shatter all my Ninjutsu?
A massive wave of alarm rose in Jiraiya's heart opposite Whitebeard.
Thinking this, he immediately began circling Whitebeard and launching a barrage of attacks, constantly throwing out various Ninjutsu.
"Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!" "Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!" "Sage Art: Hair Needle Senbon!"
"Sage Art: Super Great Ball Rasengan!"
If anyone else encountered this combination of Ninjutsu, they would be in serious trouble, even if they were an Admiral or a Yonko.
But Whitebeard was simply brutal and straightforward. He smashed out one punch after another, shattering Jiraiya's attacks wave after wave!
In the end, Jiraiya had exhausted all his moves and simply couldn't find a way to win, forcing him to stop.
He shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it. I can't beat you. Rather than waste time here, I might as well take the opportunity to gather more material for my new book in this world! I forfeit!"
