As the second match of Top 8 ended, the third match began, with Krillin facing off against the Man-Wolf.
This match could be said to have no suspense at all.
The Man-Wolf's strength was indeed much greater than that of ordinary people, and even those seasoned martial artists might not necessarily be his match.
In the original work, he did show impressive strength.
Unfortunately, before the current Krillin, how could he possibly get the upper hand?
Krillin easily eliminated him with just a single finger.
After advancing with ease, the fourth match began.
Nail vs. Tien Shinhan!
...
In the arena.
Nail and Tien Shinhan looked at each other, both wearing friendly smiles.
Because Tien Shinhan had shown exceptional performance in previous matches, as soon as he entered the arena, he immediately set off the entire crowd, with countless spectators shouting and cheering.
Of course, Tien Shinhan and Nail weren't affected.
"It's an honor to face you. Please don't hold back, give me your all in the fight." Nail asked humbly to Tien Shinhan.
"Of course, I'll go all out in this match. You do the same, let me witness the power of a Namekian," Tien Shinhan said, full of excitement.
The fighting spirit burned in both their eyes; both held high expectations for this showdown.
"The fourth match of the Top 8, begins!!"
At the blonde-haired referee's shout, the highly anticipated battle commenced.
'Whoosh~~!!'
'Whoosh~~!!'
'Boom!!!'
Tien Shinhan and Nail charged at each other at the same time. With their first collision, the entire arena trembled, and powerful shockwaves swept in all directions.
Feeling the weight of that strike, both of them couldn't help but reveal a similar smile.
A fierce battle erupted!
Tien Shinhan and Nail attacked simultaneously, each unleashing extraordinary combat skills. Their dense, relentless assaults poured toward each other like a torrential storm.
'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! …' The muffled sounds of their bodies colliding were thrilling; every impact sent ripples through the space itself.
Nail held nothing back, doing his utmost, unleashing his strongest power level, launching a full offensive against Tien Shinhan.
His techniques were different from Piccolo's ferocious and terrifying style. Instead, there was a hint of Goku's style. While attacking, he still left himself a lot of room.
This was a fighting method Nail had realized through countless bouts with Ragar. Although it was excellent, it ultimately lacked the tempering of life-and-death struggle. This style looked flawless, but in reality, it still wasn't mature enough.
In contrast, Tien Shinhan's fighting style was fierce, with solid defense, and in terms of offense, he was even superior to Nail.
Not only that, but he still hadn't shown all his strength. Right now, he was only using half his power against Nail.
Converted to power level, that was as much as forty million!
Of course, with only half his strength, Tien Shinhan couldn't easily suppress Nail either.
After several rounds, both had figured out the other's moves.
At the same time, they both gathered power and punched fiercely at each other's faces.
'Bang!!!' Tien Shinhan's fist landed right on Nail's face.
'Bang!!!' Nail's heavy punch also hit Tien Shinhan's cheek.
Both were simultaneously struck by the force, knocked back over a dozen meters.
A trace of blood slid down from the corners of their mouths.
"Your strength really is impressive!" Nail wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spoke to Tien Shinhan.
"You're not bad yourself. That punch of yours was incredible," Tien Shinhan praised Nail's powerful strength as well.
This round of exchange was over.
Neither made the next move; they stared at each other from across the arena, their auras constantly rising, both ready to strike at any moment.
The battle just now had merely been a warm-up, a probing between the two. Now that they had figured out each other's fighting styles, it was time to get serious.
"Haaaah!!!"
"Yaaaah!!!"
Tien Shinhan and Nail both let out loud shouts, their auras skyrocketing.
Nail unleashed the slumbering Dragon God Ki within his body, causing his power level to surge explosively.
Although it wasn't as strong as Ragar's, with this power added, his strength ascended to a whole new level.
Tien Shinhan sensed Nail's change and also went all out, unleashing one hundred percent of his own power to meet Nail head-on.
The simultaneous eruption of their auras became a fierce, terrifying storm, sweeping in all directions. The entire Papaya Island trembled ceaselessly under their power.
...
In the backstage rest area, the virtual glasses worn by Salari and Raditz displayed both fighters' power levels in real time.
"So this is their full power? That's incredible, especially Nail. In just a few short years, his power level has reached this point, over ninety million!!" Salari was shocked by the formidable power level Nail displayed.
A ninety-million power level; it was already close to the hundred-million mark.
At this level, his power was already comparable to her own full strength in base form.
If she were to fight Nail head-on without transforming into Super Saiyan, she'd probably have a hard time winning.
"Looking at it this way, Tien Shinhan seems to be in trouble. His power level is just over eighty million, almost ten million lower than Nail's," Raditz commented from the side.
Although power level isn't the absolute factor in deciding a battle's outcome, it's certainly critical.
A ten million power level gap is by no means a small difference.
However, Raditz believed that Tien Shinhan definitely had some hidden tricks he hadn't shown yet.
After all, he'd been training with North Kai for so long. He must have learned some of North Kai's trump cards.
How much he could unleash depended on Tien Shinhan's own understanding.
"Tien Shinhan and Nail are both so strong. I really want to fight them too!" Goku said, his fighting spirit high.
His battle with Piccolo earlier had already awakened the combat genes sleeping inside him.
Now, watching Tien Shinhan and Nail's match made him itch with excitement, his hands literally aching to fight.
On the other side, Vegeta wasn't paying attention to this match. He was staring straight at Ragar.
Piccolo and Nail's strength had already been established; what he wanted to know now was just how far Ragar could go.
The Saiyan's instinct told him: this guy was anything but simple.
[Looks like entering this World Martial Arts Tournament was the right choice. It's getting more and more interesting.] Vegeta's lips curled slightly, and he was filled with anticipation for his next two matches.
His upcoming opponent was someone called Dinosaur Man.
To him, such riffraff could be obliterated with a single finger. He had no need to pay them any mind at all.
What mattered was who he'd meet in the quarterfinals and semifinals.
Ideally, it would be this Namekian.
In Vegeta's mind, his final opponents would be either Raditz or Talot.
He had already excluded even Salari.
