Chapter 94

The scene returned to the arena. Goku, with his right chest pierced and his right arm effectively useless, could only stagger and fight with his left hand and legs against a similarly weakened Piccolo.

Indeed, it was a brawl. No longer was it a battle with attacks and defenses, but rather a mutual beating, with one punch from you and one kick from me...

Unfortunately... although Goku still had a lot of energy left in his body, he ultimately could not overcome the fully functional Piccolo, who also knew the secret techniques of the Demon Clan. Seizing an opening, Piccolo used a secret technique to shoot a bolt of lightning, knocking Goku to the ground.

Seeing the attack succeed, Piccolo quickly approached, disabling Goku's limbs one by one while saying, "I'm not my father; I won't leave you with an arm. Now that you can't move your hands or feet, you have no defense at all. Let's see what you can do now!"

"Goku!" The crowd, seeing Goku's dire state, couldn't help but shout out in alarm.

"Ha ha ha, Goku, get ready for my final blow. Don't worry, after I send you on your way, I'll quickly send that group to join you! Ha ha ha ha..." Piccolo said, then rose into the air.

"You bastard..." Kami, watching the rampant Piccolo, was furious. After making a decision, he turned to Tien and said loudly, "Quick, Tien, kill me! I am one with Piccolo, so killing me will also kill him! Since Kami cannot commit suicide, only you can do it. This is the only way to save Goku!"

"Huh? But..." Tien was startled by Kami's words and hesitated.

"Don't think too much! I'll only be temporarily dead; you can call the Dragon Balls to revive me later!" Seeing Tien's hesitation, Kami continued, but he concealed the fact that the Dragon Balls would also disappear if he died.

"Well... okay..." Tien, hearing Kami's words and seeing the shocked expressions of Krillin and the others, finally reluctantly agreed.

"Wait... wait... there's no need to do that..." Goku, paralyzed on the arena, heard their conversation and struggled to speak to stop them.

"I... I will win!" Goku's words were broken, but his determination was unwavering when he spoke of his victory.

"What? Don't be foolish..."

"Die!" Before anyone could persuade him further, Piccolo, who had been gathering energy in the air, didn't give them a chance to speak again. He gathered all his remaining energy and fired a Kamehameha at Goku on the ground.

"Goku!!!" The crowd, seeing the attack coming, shouted out to Goku. As the Kamehameha hit the ground, causing a massive explosion, they raised their hands to shield their eyes from the intense light and strained to look at the center of the explosion, hoping Goku would be safe.

Jing Tian, who had been observing the scene with his divine senses, lowered his hand and, with a wave of his mind, set up a protective barrier in front of everyone, blocking the shockwave.

After the dust settled, the crowd, seeing the deep crater left by the Kamehameha and finding no sign of Goku, felt a deep sense of despair and sorrow.

Piccolo, landing from the air, stood at the edge of the crater, looked down, and suddenly a疯狂 and excited expression appeared on his face. He looked up to the sky and shouted, "Ha ha ha ha! I won! Goku is dead! No one can stop me anymore! I will spread fear across this world again! Ha ha ha ha..."

"Damn! Is it really impossible..." Kami, looking at the rampant Piccolo in the distance, said with a deep sense of loss.

Jing Tian, seeing everyone's dejected mood, nudged Kami's arm. Under Kami's puzzled gaze, he nodded towards the distance, indicating for Kami to look.

Kami turned his head in confusion and immediately widened his eyes, his face lighting up with joy.

Krillin, noticing Kami's expression, also turned his head in confusion. After a moment, Krillin, staring at the distant scene, reached out tremblingly to grab Tien's arm...

After a few attempts, Krillin finally grabbed Tien's arm and said, trembling, "Tien, Tien, you have good eyesight, what do you see over there?"

"Huh? ... Ah!" As Tien looked back as Krillin had said, the scene in the distance finally came into everyone's view, and they all cheered excitedly.

"Goku! It's Goku! He's not dead! That's great!!" Krillin was the first to jump up and cheer loudly.

"What!" Piccolo, hearing the crowd's words, was shocked and quickly turned to look behind him.

He saw Goku, like a human missile, hurtling straight towards Piccolo from the sky.

Piccolo, seeing this, tried to dodge but found himself completely unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as Goku's head collided directly with his body...

With a dull thud, both of them were thrown back. Goku, with some cushioning, landed on the arena, lying there and struggling to breathe. Piccolo, on the other hand, was thrown far away, lying on the ground as if he had lost consciousness, only faintly moaning.

As everyone was stunned by the scene, Goku, lying on the ground, said, "Referee sir... that guy, he's out of bounds... I win this round."

"Ah!" The referee, hearing Goku's words, turned to look at Piccolo in the distance, then realized and quickly said, "Yes, that's right, he is out of bounds!" He then turned to the crowd, raising his hands excitedly and shouting, "Goku wins! The champion of the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament is—Goku!!!"

As the announcer finished speaking, everyone, except Jing Tian and Xiaolongnü, ran to Goku in celebration.

Jing Tian, seeing everyone's genuine joy, smiled lightly and took Xiaolongnü's hand, running over as well.

Watching the young Goku, lying on the ground and completely ignoring his injuries, laughing and talking excitedly with everyone about finally winning the championship, Jing Tian took out a Senzu Bean, about to give it to Goku, but suddenly paused. He tilted his head, then smiled lightly and put it away.

As everyone was anxiously preparing to take Goku to the hospital, a large, fat man ran over. Under the puzzled gazes of Master Roshi, Oolong, and Pu'ar, he came to Goku's side, squatted down, and took out a bag, saying, "I brought Senzu Beans. Come, eat quickly."

Goku asked curiously, "Yajirobe, why are you here?"

"I was worried and came to check." The fat man, Yajirobe, didn't mention that he had promised to participate in the tournament but was eliminated by Kami. He fed the Senzu Bean to Goku.

"Um... thank you." Goku swallowed the Senzu Bean, and his injuries immediately healed, and his body was filled with energy.

PS: Since these two chapters are a bit filler, I don't feel right asking for votes, but the plot will soon conclude. The third chapter tonight will enter a new world, so stay tuned.
