Chapter 37 Son Goku VS Tien Shinhan
The fourth match is between Goku and Tien Shinhan, which is the most anticipated match. After all, Goku and Tien Shinhan were the champion and runner-up of the previous competition, and everyone wants to see who is stronger after three years of training.
The odds for this match are currently the highest. Shang Yun has always won a lot of money by knowing the outcome of the matches. This time, he even borrowed a large sum of money from Bulma, and combined it with his previous winnings, secretly betting everything on Goku to win. As for why he did it secretly, it's naturally because he didn't want Chiaotzu to see it, otherwise, if it got back to Tien Shinhan, it would be a huge blow to his pride.
The martial arts tournament venue was packed with spectators, every seat filled. When the host announced that the match between Goku and Tien Shinhan was about to begin, the atmosphere instantly ignited. The audience cheered and jumped for joy, eagerly anticipating this exciting duel. Everyone was speculating about the outcome; some believed Goku, after three years of training, would have the upper hand, while others felt that Tien Shinhan, as the reigning champion, was a force to be reckoned with.
Sun Wukong and Tien Shinhan entered the ring from opposite sides. Sun Wukong, dressed in an orange martial arts uniform, had a determined and confident look in his eyes. He stretched his limbs, ready for battle. Tien Shinhan, still bald, wore a white martial arts uniform, his expression serious, his three eyes gleaming sharply. The two stood in the center of the ring, facing each other, their eyes filled with mutual respect and a burning desire for battle. The referee stood between them, briefly explained the rules of the match, and then announced the start of the competition.
As soon as the host finished speaking, Tien Shinhan launched the first attack, unleashing several punches at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, the wind whistling through the air, his momentum overwhelming. Goku, however, remained calm, easily dodging Tien Shinhan's attacks with his agility and excellent reflexes. While dodging, he also observed Tien Shinhan's attack patterns and rhythm, searching for weaknesses. Seeing that his attacks were failing to hit Goku, Tien Shinhan increased the speed and power of his attacks, his fists raining down on Goku. Goku, using his agility, leaped and rolled across the ring, skillfully avoiding every attack from Tien Shinhan.
After some probing, Goku decided to take the initiative. He leaped into the air, Tien Shinhan close behind, and the two engaged in a fierce battle. In the air, they were faster and more agile, each collision producing a deafening roar. Tien Shinhan unleashed his signature move, the "Ki Blast," shooting a beam of energy towards Goku. Goku, without dodging or parrying, simply deflected the Ki Blast back with his hand. Tien Shinhan was surprised that Goku could deflect his Ki Blast so easily. He quickly adjusted his stance and attacked Goku again. Goku, not to be outdone, unleashed his own "Kamehameha," colliding with Tien Shinhan's Ki Blast in mid-air, triggering a powerful explosion. The shockwave spread outwards, allowing the audience to feel the immense power.
Returning to the ground from the air, their battle continued. The instant they landed, they attacked again, both disappearing from the ring. Their speed was so great that the audience could barely see them; only the sounds of fists and feet clashing echoed from the arena. Tien Shinhan used his high-speed movement to constantly change positions, attempting to ambush Goku from behind. Goku, however, with his keen senses, always detected Tien Shinhan's movements and reacted swiftly. He would sometimes dodge to the side, sometimes block with his arms, and sometimes seize opportunities to counterattack.
After a period of intense fighting, both fighters were exhausted, but their fighting spirit remained high. They reappeared on the arena, hands clasped tightly, beginning their contest of strength. Veins bulged on their arms, and their faces showed signs of strain. Seeing this, Launch fired her pistol to cheer on Tien Shinhan. At that moment, Goku smiled slightly, then suddenly exerted his strength, leaning back and kicking Tien Shinhan into the air. Tien Shinhan somersaulted several times in the air before landing steadily on the ground.
Upon landing, Tien Shinhan realized Goku's strength was indeed formidable, so he decided to unleash his signature move, "Four-Body Fist." Using this technique, Tien Shinhan created three clones, each possessing its own consciousness and fighting abilities, and each also possessing considerable power. The four Tien Shinhans surrounded Goku, attacking him from different directions. Goku was initially caught off guard by this sudden attack, but he quickly regained his composure and carefully observed the movements and attack methods of the four Tien Shinhans.
Son Goku discovered that although Tien Shinhan's Four-Body Fist technique created three clones, each clone only possessed a quarter of the original's power. Furthermore, there was a momentary lapse in coordination when the four Tien Shinhans attacked. Seizing this opportunity, he unleashed his own "Solar Fist." This technique, learned by Son Goku from his previous battle with Tien Shinhan, allowed him to place his hands on his forehead, generating a blinding flash of light that temporarily blinded anyone who saw it. The intense light from Son Goku's Solar Fist momentarily blinded Tien Shinhan and his three clones, disorienting them from their attack.
Taking advantage of Tien Shinhan and his clone's momentary blindness, Goku swiftly launched a counterattack. He moved with incredible speed among the four Tien Shinhans, attacking their vital points one by one. Goku's fists rained down on Tien Shinhan and his clone, leaving them utterly defenseless. Tien Shinhan attempted to fight back, but due to his blindness, his attacks were completely inaccurate. Ultimately, Goku defeated all four Tien Shinhans, knocking them out of the ring and winning the match.
The audience was stunned by the exciting match, rising to their feet to applaud and cheer for the spectacular performances of Goku and Tien Shinhan. They marveled at Goku's rapid improvement and admired Tien Shinhan's tenacious fighting spirit. Although Tien Shinhan lost the match, he earned the respect of the audience.
After winning the match, Goku was not arrogant. He went to Tien Shinhan and helped him up. Tien Shinhan was not discouraged by his defeat. He congratulated Goku and admitted that Goku's strength was indeed superior to his own.
The two embraced, deepening their bond. This match was not only a contest of skill, but also a testament to their friendship.
Meanwhile, Shang Yun secretly went to collect the money he had won. After exchanging it for Bulma's money, Shang Yun still had more than 30 million in his hands. It has to be admitted that there are really a lot of rich people who seek thrills.
In fact, Shang Yun was not a greedy person. Those who practice Zen should avoid greed, anger and ignorance the most. Money is the last thing they should be greedy for. His purpose in asking for so much money this time was to give it as a wedding gift to Sun Wukong and Chi-Chi.
Chi-Chi was originally the daughter of the Bull Demon King, a proper rich young lady. She didn't have any money-making skills. Later, the Bull Demon King's wealth was destroyed along with the volcano, making life even more difficult. As for Sun Wukong, the glutton, he only knew how to fight and didn't know how to make money. Both of them were simple-minded, a fact confirmed by the Somersault Cloud. It was impossible to get two simple-minded people to do business.
After Chi-Chi married Son Goku, they settled on Mount Paozu, where there was vast land and forest. Son Goku could farm for food and hunt for meat, so they were relatively self-sufficient. However, life ultimately requires money, and you'll see how quickly Chi-Chi aged later on!
Shang Yun knew he couldn't give anything, nor did he want to change anything; he just wanted to do his best to help Qi Qi and Sun Wukong.
