Among those present, Lin Xuan, Uchiha Madara, and Senju Hashirama all revealed looks of surprise.
They could clearly sense that the "Lightning Flash Surprise Attack" Master Roshi was currently displaying possessed a power far exceeding what he had shown when Lin Xuan first reincarnated him using the Impure World Reincarnation.
Undoubtedly, this was the result of Master Roshi's recent training!
As for Son Goku and the others, they were completely stunned by Master Roshi's strength.
"Is this Master Roshi's true power? He's so strong!"
"Yeah, but his opponent is really strong too. Even facing Master Roshi in this state, he hasn't fallen behind!"
"Senior Uncle even used the Lightning Flash Surprise Attack! It looks like his opponent is truly formidable!!"
While they were buzzing with discussion, Gol D. Roger, who was trapped within the lightning attack, found himself in a rather precarious situation.
He discovered that the lightning released by Master Roshi was no ordinary electricity. It was actually slowing down the regeneration speed of his damaged Impure World Reincarnation body.
Noticing that his attack was effective, Master Roshi suddenly launched another palm strike straight at Roger. Taking advantage of the moment before Roger's immortal body could fully recover, Roshi knocked him right out of the ring!
With that, Roger was defeated!
In the contestant waiting area, Whitebeard frowned upon seeing this, shaking his head helplessly. "Roger, that guy... his entire strength lies in his sword. Being unable to use weapons in this competition was too much of a disadvantage for him!"
Lin Xuan chuckled softly. "Part of the reason is also that he felt the Impure World Reincarnation body gave him too much of an unfair advantage, so he lost on purpose."
Whitebeard nodded. He knew that while Roger often seemed unreliable, he was a very proud man at his core.
A tournament was different from a war. Relying on an immortal body to bully people wasn't his style.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, and the others were pondering a different matter: Did Master Roshi's Lightning Flash Surprise Attack actually have properties that suppressed the Impure World Reincarnation?
What was the key secret behind it?
As reincarnated individuals themselves, Madara and the others were naturally very concerned about anything that could suppress them, so they fell into deep thought.
Seeing their contemplative expressions, Lin Xuan smiled. "The 'Ki' of the Dragon Ball world is very interesting. I assume this is one of its characteristics. Perhaps you all should try learning it!"
Hearing this, everyone felt a surge of interest.
In fact, many of them had already begun trying to observe, sense, and learn it.
At the same time, Master Roshi and Roger stepped down from the arena. Since the referee couldn't determine a winner based on a knockout blow alone, the ring out settled it. The next match was finally ready to begin.
This time, it was finally Uchiha Madara's turn.
Madara had long been impatient. The moment the referee announced the next match, his figure flickered, and he instantly appeared in the center of the ring.
Simultaneously, Yamcha, standing beside Son Goku, took a deep breath and walked toward the ring.
His expression looked grave.
After the previous matches, many had realized that the people from Lin Xuan's group were incredibly strong.
At least up until this moment, apart from Uchiha Izuna losing to Piccolo, everyone else had won their matches with relative ease. The remaining members looked just as formidable!
Yamcha glanced at Uchiha Madara on the stage, his face tense.
He's strong!
Just from the aura the opponent was emitting, Yamcha felt an intense, oppressive pressure. This was absolutely a powerful adversary.
However, Yamcha did not back down. He leaped into the air and landed on the ring.
Suddenly, a smile with an indecipherable meaning appeared on Madara's face.
"That old man's disciple? Then I'll have to teach him a proper lesson!"
Madara glanced sideways at Master Roshi in the distance.
Below the stage, Master Roshi caught that look and shivered involuntarily, a sense of unease rising in his heart. This guy... he isn't planning to do something crazy, is he?
At this moment, the match officially began.
Boom!
Yamcha exploded into action the instant the match started. Moving at high speed, he charged straight toward Uchiha Madara.
"Neo Wolf Fang Fist!"
Lin Xuan, watching the battle, noticed that the combat power Yamcha was displaying was, much like Tien Shinhan's, significantly stronger than it was at this point in the original storyline.
It seemed that the influence he and his group brought was indeed not small!
However, it was unfortunate that their opponents were the likes of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
Especially when Lin Xuan saw the playful smile on Madara's face, his eyebrow twitched. He thought to himself, Madara isn't about to cause a scene, is he?
Just as the thought crossed his mind, Yamcha had already rushed in front of Madara, unleashing a rapid and fierce offensive!
But in that split second, Uchiha Madara's eyes abruptly transformed into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. He instantly manifested the Perfect Susanoo, transforming into a colossal giant that swatted down at Yamcha with terrifying force.
Rumble!
Before Yamcha could even react, he was slammed into the ground by Madara's giant palm. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and immediately after, felt an overwhelming force send him flying backward.
Bang!
Yamcha crashed headfirst into the low wall of the spectator stands, collapsing to the ground, unable to move.
The spectators were completely dumbfounded.
Domination!
This was absolute, total domination!
Yamcha didn't even have a chance to resist before he was eliminated. The match hadn't even lasted ten seconds!
The key factor was that giant. They had seen something similar with Uchiha Izuna earlier, and while they thought it was powerful then, the one they were seeing now filled everyone with shock and terror!
Lin Xuan's mouth twitched slightly.
In reality, with Uchiha Madara's strength, he could have won without using Susanoo at all. But not only did he use it, he summoned the Perfect Susanoo right out of the gate to secure a crushing victory.
Madara, this guy... he's showing off again!
Next to him, Senju Hashirama was also somewhat bewildered. As for Master Roshi, his eye twitched rapidly as he cursed internally, That guy Madara... he definitely did that on purpose. He's trying to intimate me!
"That guy is so strong!" Son Goku exclaimed with a look of awe.
This was a powerful opponent, sparking a strong desire in Goku to fight him.
Meanwhile, Piccolo narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping between Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna.
Suddenly, Madara turned his head and looked directly at him, his eyes carrying a piercing coldness.
"Hmph!"
Piccolo snorted coldly. After locking eyes with Madara for a moment, he looked away.
Although Uchiha Madara's strength made him somewhat wary, he naturally wouldn't show it.
He was confident that he could suppress all opponents, defeat Son Goku, and become the strongest on Earth!
