Tien's eyes were focused. He was looking around, searching for Goku's traces, so he doesn't get caught off guard.
Swish
His careful caution paid off when Goku reappeared out of the dust cloud, and struck Tien on the head.
Goku's attack was so fast, that Tien could only raise one arm to block it, which wasn't enough to stop this powerful punch.
After stopping this heavy punch, Tien was thrown off balance. His left hand stung from pain and his wrist was hurting.
"Dodon Ray."
But Tien ignored his injured hand, and instantly fired a Dodon ray with his remaining healthy hand.
The sudden Dodon ray surprised Goku. Dodon Ray's main ability was its quick casting speed, so Goku did not see it coming.
By the time Goku reacted, the dodon ray was infront of his chest. Yet despite being so close to danger, Goku felt happy.
His Ki flared up, and Goku smacked away the dodon ray forcefully. The dodon ray cut through a big rock and blew it up.
Goku's hand had a faint red mark on it, which was all the damage Tien's surprise attack could do to him.
"Tch, you blocked it."
Tien muttered and then joined his hands together, as if he was about to start praying.
His veins throbbed as he put his hands together, and made a triangle shape with his fingers.
Seeing this familiar pose, Goku's eyes narrowed and his muscles tightened. He smirked aggressively at Tien.
"That pose, are you going to use the Tribeam?"
Tien's Tri-Beam had left a deep impression on Goku. It was the strongest ki based attack that he had ever seen.
Although, when Tien had first used it on him, Goku had dodged the Tri-Beam. Still, its power could not be underestimated.
His own Kamehameha was weaker than Tri-Beam. Tribeam hits way harder than Tien's Ki reserves should allow him to.
"Yeah, you are strong Goku. I have to use my trump card."
Tien's veins were bulging from the attack's internal pressure.
"But I have upgraded the Tribeam since we last fought."
"This is no longer a normal Tribeam; it's the Neo Tribeam."
Tien's face was covered with blue veins, as he charged his Neo Tribeam. This was the strongest attack in his arsenal.
Neo Tribeam was an attack that could repel Cell in the future, when even Super Saiyans couldn't touch him.
It was a self-harming attack that uses the caster's life force. Original Tien's soul had died during its creation.
That's right, creating Neo Tribeam was what had killed the original Tien, and let the current Tien take over his body.
Og Tien accidentally overused his new attack, and it sucked his life force dry, leaving him a soulless husk.
Suffice to say this was a dangerous but powerful technique, which the current Tien had fully mastered.
"Goku!"
Tien smiled like a deadly predator; the triangle shape he had made with his fingers, was glowing yellow.
"Take this!"
"Tribeam HA!"
A massive amount of energy exploded out of Tien's hands. Sensing the large energy, Goku was no longer smiling.
His face hardened, and he put his hands together; Goku was preparing himself to stop the Tri-Beam.
The next second, Tien's Tri-Beam hit Goku. Goku's veins throbbed as he held onto the superhot energy beam.
But his knees soon bent, when Tien pumped more energy into the attack.
After a few more seconds, Goku couldn't handle it any longer. His teeth clenched, and he was overwhelmed.
Neo Tribeam washed over Goku's body, creating a massive explosion of raw energy, raising a big dust cloud around the area.
Feeling drained Tien stopped the attack. He was out of breath and was huffing loudly; his body was feeling heavy.
"That was great, Tien!"
Before Tien could relax Goku exclaimed excitedly. Tien flinched and quickly tried to catch his breath.
But instead of taking this chance to attack Tien, Goku happily walked out of the dust cloud while patting his clothes clean.
This did not make Tien happy, his face tightened; Goku would have struck him if he felt it was necessary.
But Goku did not attack him, which meant Goku had not gotten serious yet. This made Tien sweat slightly.
Goku didn't know Tien's internal thoughts; he looked at his burnt clothes with disappointment.
"Aw man, Kami gave me those."
Goku rubbed his head.
"These were my special training clothes."
"I'll have to ask him for a new set again."
Goku cheerfully laughed and began taking off his shirt. Tien was confused until Goku dropped the burnt shirt onto the ground.
Boom
The shirt fell with a loud thump. Goku's training shirt was so heavy that it dug a hole into the ground.
So all this time, Goku was fighting him while wearing weighted clothes? Tien was now covered in sweat.
His guess was right; Goku was not at full strength. After removing his weights, Goku's power level shot up to 350.
"Sorry for making you wait; let's continue."
Goku smiled politely, while removing his heavy boots and his heavy wristbands. They were also training gear like his shirt.
After removing his weighted clothes, Goku felt as light as a feather. He smiled at Tien challengingly.
Tien smiled back awkwardly, and Goku grinned and then instantly vanished from Tien's sight.
Tien's eyes shrunk; his third eye saw a flash of orange appear below him, but it was too late.
"Gah!"
Goku's fist dug into Tien's stomach, Tien's eyes popped, and he spat out his stomach acid.
This fist deformed Tien's internal organs, leaving Tien gasping for breath.
Goku did not give Tien a chance to recover; he chained his attack and kicked Tien on the head next.
Crack
Tien's head bent downward. The strike to the head shook Tien's brain within his skull, making him dazed.
Clenching his fist, Goku smiled then rammed his fist on Tien's chin, snapping his head backwards this time.
This strike to the chin did tremendous damage to Tien. Goku's fist knocked him on his back, making his eyes go dark.
"Hehe."
Goku looked happy as Tien lay on his back, with arms wide open. He was unconscious and his eyes had turned white.
Seeing Tien lose, Chichi, who was watching the fight panicked. She quickly ran towards him and started fanning.
Chichi glared at Goku angrily; her husband had stupidly knocked out his future boss.
What if Tien gets angry and decides to stop supporting their family? Goku was such a darn fool..!
"What did I do?"
Goku mumbled while rubbing his head, why was he being scolded by his wife. It was just a fight.
Tien meanwhile peeked sneakily with his third eye, smiling to himself as Chichi glared at Goku.
'I might lose the fight, but I won the war.'
'Your wife is now angry on you, take that Goku.'
