Time passed, minute by minute.
After a long time, the dazzling light from the explosion finally dissipated completely.
Raditz and Salari were both swept up by the shockwaves of the explosion, and the two of them were simultaneously blasted to the edge of the invisible barrier.
Both of them leaned against the invisible barrier, panting heavily.
Although the explosion just now was astonishing, it did not cause any substantial harm to either of them.
On the contrary, it further ignited the fighting spirit in both of them.
At this moment, both of their eyes were burning with blazing flames.
The earlier fight was nothing more than child's play, not even enough to be considered a warm-up.
But they had overlooked one thing: in this arena, there was still an ordinary person present.
As an ordinary person, the blonde-haired referee risked his life to resolutely continue commentating on the match.
It was clear how dedicated he was. This spirit of facing death unflinchingly was not something every referee could have.
At this time, Raditz and Salari both moved and returned to the arena at the same time.
Standing on opposite sides, their gazes locked, and deep in their eyes flashed an intense and fiery fighting spirit.
"The warm-up ends here, don't you think? Hurry up and transform into a Super Saiyan, Raditz!" Salari urged enthusiastically.
At this moment, her fighting spirit was fully ignited. The real battle was about to begin.
"Don't be in such a rush. Let's take our time, besides, you haven't even transformed into a Super Saiyan, so why should I?" Raditz raised the corner of his mouth, chuckling lightly.
Hearing this, Salari snorted unhappily.
Since you're not willing to transform into a Super Saiyan on your own, I'll force you to do it!
"Haah~!!" Salari let out a loud shout, golden aura pulsing around her, a surging mass of S-Cells gathering at the center of her spine, erupting all at once.
In just the blink of an eye, Salari completed the transformation into Super Saiyan Full Power!
An enormous aura field instantly took shape, an unimaginably heavy oppressive force spreading out, making the ordinary people in the spectator stands tremble, and shocking all the Earth warriors in the rest area.
This fierce aura was so many times stronger than Vegeta's earlier!
"This aura… still as formidable as ever." Nappa swallowed hard, wiping sweat from his face, and muttered with lingering fear.
"Sister Salari's Super Saiyan, the aura is so steady and strong… and her transformation seems different from mine." Goku's keen perception noticed the differences.
Both of them were warriors who had mastered Super Saiyan Full Power, but Salari's aura was not only calm, with not a trace leaking out, but especially that invisible pressure pervading the air, making his heart palpitate.
Nappa and Vegeta, hearing this, focused their attention and looked Salari up and down.
Soon, they also noticed the unusual points.
Salari's Super Saiyan Full Power was clearly much calmer than theirs, with a more stable aura, completely under control and without wasting the slightest bit of power, as if she hadn't transformed at all.
The difference didn't seem big, but in an evenly matched fight, perfect control over power and even a slight reduction in wasted energy could decide the outcome.
Could it be that because Salari is a female Saiyan, her control over power is even more exquisite?
"Tch~!" Vegeta snorted coldly with an unhappy look.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Salari's aura was far more terrifying than his own. Even if he put forth his full strength, he couldn't compare to Salari's Super Saiyan Full Power.
The gap in strength was just too great.
However, as a proud Saiyan prince, he would not be discouraged. He swore that one day he would surpass Salari.
It's just a woman, after all. Completely surpassing her was only a matter of time.
"Amazing…" Even Ragar, the strongest Namekian present, couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
This powerful strength, even for him, it wouldn't be easy to win against her.
...
In the arena.
Salari's Super Saiyan Full Power had already stabilized, her entire aura retracted within her body. Her immense strength was not displayed on the surface, but hidden deep inside, making it impossible for her enemy to gauge her true strength.
With a power level increase dozens of times greater than her base form, Salari's current power level had reached 7.2 billion!
"Are you still planning to keep fighting me in your base form, Raditz?" Salari narrowed her eyes slightly, an invisible aura spreading, golden lightning crackling around her, as if giving Raditz a final warning.
Hearing this, and seeing this scene, Raditz wasn't fazed in the slightest. He continued to cross his arms, grinning from ear to ear.
"What can I do? I was hoping to fight you slowly, but now it seems I really can't get by without transforming." With that, Raditz finally released his folded arms, clenched his fists, and a flash of emerald green flickered in his eyes.
In an instant, the Super Saiyan energy pool inside him was detonated, and with a golden storm rising from the ground, Raditz entered the Super Saiyan Full Power state.
His transformation took only a split second; his waist-length hair became even more upright, his pupils turned emerald green, and his aura was extremely steady, making it impossible for others to sense the depth of his strength.
He looked like a Super Saiyan 3, but of course he wasn't.
Even though Raditz's current power level couldn't be determined by Ki Sense, Salari could tell just how strong he was with her keen insight.
After all these years of accumulation and hard training, Raditz's power level had surpassed 200 million.
With Super Saiyan Full Power, his power level was at least 15 to 16 billion, possibly even close to 20 billion.
At this level of power, he was a full two times stronger than Salari.
The gap in base form's power levels was maximized after transforming into Super Saiyan.
In terms of actual power level numbers, even if Salari transformed into Super Saiyan 2, she probably couldn't contend with Raditz's current Super Saiyan Full Power.
Seeing Raditz transform into Super Saiyan Full Power with her own eyes, Salari frowned slightly.
"What's the matter? Cowering after seeing my transformation? That doesn't seem like you. Are you scared?" Raditz teased Salari with a mischievous smile.
"Hmph! Don't get too cocky. Even if your power level has increased a lot, I definitely won't be far behind. We'll find out who's stronger once we test it out!" As a capable woman, Salari would never admit that her skills were inferior.
She assumed a fighting stance, secretly building up her power, poised to attack.
"Then come on!" Raditz waited calmly for Salari's attack, standing still without moving.
"Haaa~~!!!" Suddenly, Salari let out a shout, her aura erupting, entering a full burst state. She turned into a golden streak of light and charged straight at Raditz.
Facing Salari's proactive attack, Raditz still maintained his proud stance, as if he had completely seen through Salari's attack patterns.
His evasive movements were so swift and graceful that he easily dodged Salari's punches and kicks.
'Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~!!'
Salari launched a continuous barrage of fierce attacks, but her methods had already been seen through by Raditz.
No matter how she attacked, she couldn't touch Raditz at all. Instead, she was being toyed with, played within the palm of his hand.
This situation made Salari take a sharp breath, doing her best to stay calm, but she couldn't help being affected by her emotions.
