"Bang!"
A fierce crash echoed as Lin Xuan smashed Sun Wukong onto the tournament stage, creating a crater ten meters deep right in the center.
"Goku has been knocked down! Is this the end of the match?" the host exclaimed in surprise.
At this moment, Master Roshi and the others held their breath, and Chi-Chi clasped her hands together, praying.
A moment later, Sun Wukong leaped out of the pit, reappearing before the crowd, hovering in mid-air.
"Incredible! Your power really is something!" Sun Wukong said, sounding excited.
He then ripped off his tattered martial arts uniform, revealing his sculpted physique. Though he looked a bit messy, he hadn't sustained any serious injuries.
Lin Xuan glanced at him and couldn't help but sigh internally, "He truly lives up to his Saiyan heritage!"
He hadn't deliberately held back his power during the previous attack. With his current strength, a casual punch could easily shatter a small mountain. Yet, Sun Wukong had only suffered superficial scratches, which spoke volumes about the incredible durability of his body.
"Goku has gotten so much stronger. To face an opponent like Lin Xuan in such a fierce exchange and still look completely unfazed!" Master Roshi sighed with emotion.
To think that the student he had taken in when he was just a child had grown this much—he was now far more powerful than his master.
As Master Roshi was caught up in his thoughts, the two on the stage clashed again, moving even faster this time. The crowd's sight failed them again, only hearing a rapid succession of violent impacts, which rapidly disintegrated the arena.
"Go, Goku!" "Beat him, Goku!"
Oolong, Yamcha, and others excitedly cheered for Sun Wukong. They could clearly sense that his current strength was far superior to before.
Perhaps he really did have a chance to defeat that man!
"Boom!"
Another earth-shattering sound rippled out, making everyone present flinch and their expressions change.
At that moment, the two figures reappeared suspended above the broken ring.
Lin Xuan looked at Sun Wukong, smiled, and nodded. "Your strength is excellent. And if I'm not mistaken, you still have a finishing move you haven't used yet, right? Why not use this opportunity to show it to me?"
Sun Wukong was startled, and a hesitant look quickly crossed his face.
He did have a more powerful technique he hadn't used, but he was unsure whether to unleash it, fearing he might lose control and accidentally kill his opponent.
As if sensing his worry, Lin Xuan rose higher into the air, looking down at him. "Don't worry, I'm not as weak as you think. I'd really like to test just how powerful that move of yours is!"
Sun Wukong looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then clenched his jaw. "In that case, here I come!"
He then brought his hands together at his waist, rapidly gathering energy between his palms. Soon, a dazzling, brilliant energy blast appeared.
"Super Kamehameha!"
In an instant, a blinding white light erupted from Sun Wukong's palms, roaring toward Lin Xuan in the sky.
The surrounding spectators were knocked back several steps by the air's residual force, and most people outright fell to the ground.
"Perfect timing!"
Facing Sun Wukong's attack, Lin Xuan didn't retreat in the slightest; instead, he laughed heartily.
However, Lin Xuan's movements were swift. He immediately activated the Susanoo Complete Body and simultaneously performed the Wood Release: Wood Human Technique, combining the two to form an armored giant!
"Let's see if the Ninjutsu of the Ninja World can withstand your Kamehameha!" Lin Xuan grinned, extending a massive hand to grab the huge energy wave.
The next second, the immensely powerful Super Kamehameha finally slammed into the giant in the sky.
"BOOM!"
A terrifying explosion shook the heavens and the earth. Even the white clouds above the World Martial Arts Tournament were scattered.
Everyone present and the viewers watching on television were startled; the brilliant light was so blinding they couldn't keep their eyes open, and surrounding buildings collapsed in a roar.
"Clatter!"
Finally, the smoke in the sky rapidly dissipated, revealing a massive figure within.
Everyone was stunned.
"That... he actually took it?"
"He's so strong! He actually withstood such a terrifying technique!"
...
Everyone in the audience had thought they were about to be killed by the explosion; many had even started fleeing.
Yet, despite the horrifying blast, Lin Xuan was mostly unharmed.
Well, it wasn't completely unscathed. Lin Xuan himself was fine, but the golden Susanoo and the massive Wood Human wrapped around him showed dense, spiderweb-like cracks.
"Crack!"
The next second, the golden Susanoo shattered completely, and the giant Wood Human also broke apart.
Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, and others saw this and their expressions subtly shifted.
They then turned their gazes toward the young figure on the ring, their faces showing a mix of shock and amazement.
Before this, Uchiha Madara and the others didn't know the extent of Sun Wukong's power, but they were very clear on Lin Xuan's defensive capabilities. They never expected this young man to be able to shatter Lin Xuan's defense!
At this moment, a thought arose in many people's minds: This young man is extraordinary!
Even Master Roshi was greatly surprised, never imagining Goku had become so formidable, raising the power of his Kamehameha this much!
He had also been keeping track of Lin Xuan's situation through the Dimensional Chat Group and knew that the defensive power of Lin Xuan's armored giant was incredibly strong.
Goku has truly grown so much!
Lin Xuan, who hadn't taken any damage, looked at Sun Wukong, nodded with a look of satisfaction, and said, "Not bad. The power is quite strong!"
The fact that the current Sun Wukong could break his defense was something Lin Xuan found slightly surprising.
Just now, he clearly sensed that when Sun Wukong was powering up, his Ki suddenly increased significantly, seemingly influenced by the Saiyan bloodline within him, which boosted the power of the "Super Kamehameha."
At this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but wonder, Could my influence cause Sun Wukong to prematurely activate the Super Saiyan state?
If that really happens, won't Vegeta and the others be completely wiped out by Sun Wukong when they invade Earth?
