The Strongest Legend of Dragon Ball Chapter 682: Krillin’s first match

Chapter 682: Krillin’s first match

“All contestants please follow the AI’s arrangement. The preliminaries will now begin.” Kusu didn’t say much, and after announcing the start of the tournament, she sat down on the cushion with her feet swaying in the air. After that, the AI arranged for the contestants to arrive at the designated partitioned arena according to the order of the previous lottery to begin the matches.
As the matches began, the Saiyan and Feidaya people in the audience who were not participating in the tournament all craned their necks and waited in anticipation.
“I’m number 24 on the 1st arena. I’ll go up first.” A twenty-something-year-old Saiyan laughed heartily and jumped onto the arena. Opposite him was a youngster who looked about the same age.
“Ding!” The electronic announcement rang out.
The contestants on both sides immediately entered the fighting state after hearing the electronic sound. As if facing a formidable enemy, their bodies tensed up for a fierce fight before moving quickly with a “swish”, starting the exciting match.
There were 400 matches like this going on at the same time, so the matches were not being shown on the big screen. The audience could only watch it with their naked eyes. A wonderful battle was being staged in front of them. They couldn’t see everything and could only repeatedly exclaim with admiration.
“Come on Coors, knock your opponent down.”
“Bastard, have you forgotten what I taught you? If you lose, don’t even think about eating at night.”
“Throw a punch, your opponent has already dodged to the other side.”
Such shouts could be heard non-stop, and almost all Saiyans were very excited. Their emotions were running high as they continuously passed comments. Krillin and others who were from Earth had never experienced such an intense martial arts atmosphere before. Their faces were stiff as they shook their heads and sighed: “The difference is too big, this is the paradise of martial artists! Earth can’t be compared to this place.”
“Any one of these Saiyans, if placed on Earth, would be an outstanding martial artist.” Yamcha was shocked.
“Hmph, Saiyans should be like this.” Vegeta’s eyes shone, and there was a hint of surprise under his calm facade.
It was the first time that Videl had left Earth, so she was clearly stunned by the fiery fight scenes shown by Planet Hongshan’s Saiyans. Her lips opened and closed as she exclaimed in surprise, “It’s unbelievable that such an intense fight is just in Preliminaries. How amazing will the Trial matches be!”
Gohan standing beside Videl said seriously: “It will almost be at the level of planet-destroying.”
Videl’s countenance froze, a little pale: “It wouldn’t be so scary, right?”
“Saiyan’s fights are just that cruel. If you don’t believe me, ask Uncle Krillin and the others. They have participated in many battles to protect Earth.” Gohan said seriously. Videl looked towards Krillin who nodded with a wry smile, making her even more astonished.
“Destroying a planet, is it really something that martial artists can do?” Videl didn’t seem to be talking to anyone, only muttering to herself.
“Quick, look at that person named Majin Buu.” Tien Shinhan suddenly shouted.
Following the direction that Tien Shinhan was pointing towards, the rest of the people focused their gaze and saw that far away in an arena, the chubby Majin Buu was looking around in all directions. The arena was about seven or eight hundred meters away from Goku and the others, but they could still see everything clearly.
In the arena, they saw Majin Buu standing happily allowing the opponent to hit his body with high-energy attacks. Suddenly, he giggled and his stomach swelled, sending his opponent flying into the sky.
“So powerful. The Saiyan who was sent flying has at least 100,000 Battle Power. There aren’t many such experts in the universe, right? Looking at his info, he should be a seeded player!” Krillin’s expression changed slightly.
Vegeta frowned and replied, “Although there are many experts in the universe, I have to admit that experts with more than 100,000 Battle Power can already live quite comfortably. Do you know that Frieza used to have a Ginyu Force? Its captain was only at this level. That guy named Majin Buu, I can sense energy not weaker than Kakarrot’s from his body.”
Krillin smiled awkwardly: “That would be too frightening.”
They thought that with their own strength and Kaio-ken’s amplification effect, they would be able to show off their skills in Planet Hongshan’s tournament, but now it seems a little too far! But not all Saiyans on Planet Hongshan are monsters, so it shouldn’t be a problem to enter the top 400.
“Ah, that fatty is so powerful, what’s his background?” Someone in the audience asked a question.
“Yeah, the arena over there has almost been dominated by him. Look, another contestant has been thrown off the arena!”
Opening the manual, they took a look, “Majin Buu? Never heard of him before…” Most of the audience in the pavilion were unfamiliar with the name Majin Buu.
The same situation was happening in several arenas. The contestants in those arenas were being replaced very fast. In practically tens of seconds, contestants would leave the arena, which also includes the time for them to adjust in the arena. Of course, to increase the viewing experience, contestants like Majin Buu and Goku wouldn’t stay on the stage all the time and would be taken off by the AI to rest after nine matches.
The tournament continued, and a few hours later, the final top 400 gradually emerged.
Goku, Vegeta, and other top-tier experts advanced without any surprise while Krillin, Yamcha, and the others were also very “lucky”, because they did not encounter monster-level experts, so they also advanced smoothly.
“It wasn’t easy. If I hadn’t used Kaio-ken at the critical moment, I would have almost lost just now.” Yamcha patted his chest with lingering fears. He encountered an elite member of Planet Hongshan’s Special Battle Squadron and had to use Kaio-ken at the critical moment to raise his Battle Power by several times to defeat the opponent.
Krillin felt the same way, he was nearly eliminated just now.
“How do these Saiyans usually train?”
With this question in mind, the Trials officially started. There are currently a total of 400 contestants left, who will compete for the top 25 in the next event. The Trials will be one-on-one knockouts, and each contestant needs to win at least four matches in a row to advance, so there will be a lot of luck involved.
At the time when the AI was re-drawing lots, the venue was also changed. The previous 400 small arenas with a 100-meter square area were merged into 25 large arenas of 400m x 400m.
“I’m first to go.” Krillin glanced at his wrist. The number displayed on it made him panic, but he quickly adjusted his mind and walked towards the arena.
“Come on, Krillin, do your best!” Goku and the others shouted.
“Dad!” Marron shouted while waving.
Krillin tied his belt, raised his hand, and waved back.
Goku looked at Krillin’s back, used the AI on his wrist to inquire about his opponent, and frowned: “Krillin’s opponent is a Saiyan named Muying, who seems to be a veteran member of the Special Battle Squadron. His strength can’t be taken lightly.”
“Special Battle Squadron ah! He won’t be easy to deal with.” Gohan was also worried.
Seeing that other people don’t know the importance of the Special Battle Squadron, he explained: “Planet Hongshan’s Special Battle Squadron is a team composed of the most powerful Saiyans on Planet Hongshan. It can be understood as an elite team managed by the top management of Planet Hongshan. Earlier there used to be less than 100 people, but after so many years of development, there are now not less than 500 people, and each of them is an outstanding expert, especially the first batch of people.”
Saiyan’s appearance will not change much when they have reached middle-age. The long-lasting youth makes everyone have a strong physique. The batch of people who entered the Special Battle Squadron in the earliest days is the backbone of Planet Hongshan. Although there are some Saiyans who follow the principle of independence and prefer to adventure outside instead of joining the Special Battle Squadron, it is undeniable that Planet Hongshan’s Special Battle Squadron is still the place where the most experts of Planet Hongshan gather.
“So isn’t Krillin’s situation looking very bad?” Although they were very confident in Krillin’s strength, the current situation is that the opponent is too strong.
“We have to trust Krillin. He has a lot of amazing tricks up his sleeve.”
In the arena, Krillin was already standing together with his opponent Muying. Muying is a middle-aged Saiyan, but his exact age couldn’t be discerned. From his imposing aura, Krillin felt a heavy pressure.
After the match started, Krillin’s sharp eyes stared fixedly at his opponent before he suddenly shouted: “5x Kaio-ken!”
A dark red oppressive aura spread out from him. Krillin’s veins popped out, putting his body under enormous pressure. Sensing Krillin’s aura, Muying’s pupils shrank for a second before changing his position at a fast pace, and the two began to fight fiercely.
Lightning flickered on the arena, and ordinary Saiyans could no longer see what was happening below.
