"Smack!"
Vegeta's body tilted, caught off guard, and he was immediately swept to the ground by Raditz.
"Boom!"
Seizing this opportunity, Raditz swung both hands forward and released a large energy wave towards Vegeta's position.
The energy wave directly struck the ground where Vegeta was, blasting a large crater into it.
Vegeta was blasted into the sky by the violent explosion, his body tumbling rapidly through the air.
However, Vegeta quickly adjusted his body, stabilizing his hover in the air, and his vision gradually recovered.
"Damn it! Raditz!" Vegeta gritted his teeth in anger, turning his head to search for Raditz's figure.
"Prince Vegeta, I'm here!" Raditz's voice rang out from above Vegeta.
Vegeta instinctively looked up towards Raditz's direction.
"Solar Flare!"
Raditz grinned, placing his hands beside his cheeks once again.
Vegeta: "..."
Ten thousand horses galloped through Vegeta's heart.
You damn...
Are you not done with this Solar Flare yet?
Vegeta never expected Raditz would unleash the Solar Flare a third time.
Then, Vegeta carelessly fell victim to it again.
Actually, not just Vegeta was hit; many spectators on the scene were also affected, temporarily blinded.
"Thud!"
Raditz smiled gleefully, diving down from the air and kicking Vegeta squarely in the face.
Vegeta swayed and tumbled down from the sky.
"Smack!"
Just before hitting the ground, Vegeta erupted with energy, instantly stabilizing his body.
"You have thoroughly enraged me, Raditz!" Vegeta flew into a rage, seething with hatred.
Slowly opening his eyes, Vegeta again turned his head to locate Raditz's position.
However, lacking a scouter made it somewhat inconvenient for Vegeta to find him.
After all, Vegeta from this period had not yet learned the ability to sense ki.
Although he had been to Earth, Vegeta did not bother to learn that skill.
"Solar Flare!"
Raditz grinned, shouting from a diagonal direction above Vegeta.
"Hmph!" Six veins bulged on Vegeta's forehead as he swiftly swung his hand, releasing an energy blast.
The energy blast shot towards Raditz's location at extreme speed.
Raditz immediately trembled all over in fright, but it was too late to dodge.
"Bang!"
Raditz was hit, letting out a pained scream as his entire body was sent flying backwards.
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky you weren't killed." Vegeta sneered contemptuously, ignoring Raditz further, and slowly descended from the air.
Vegeta was confident; that energy blast was enough to eliminate Raditz from the match.
After all, his battle power was far too low.
"Smack!"
Vegeta landed firmly on the ground.
The spectators on the scene all widened their eyes, looking at Vegeta with stunned expressions.
"Thud!"
The next moment, Raditz also stumbled and crashed outside the arena, writhing in pain.
"Out... out of bounds!" Alisha quickly announced.
"Hmph, did you think those cheap tricks could win you the final victory of the match?" Vegeta snorted coldly with a light chuckle.
"Contestant Vegeta landed outside the arena... Contestant Raditz also landed outside the arena, but fell a moment later than Contestant Vegeta..." Alisha announced clearly into the microphone, "Therefore..."
"You... what are you saying?" Vegeta's pupils slightly contracted, and he immediately looked down.
Upon seeing this, Vegeta's face immediately darkened.
I, Vegeta, actually landed out of bounds?
How terrible!
I was too careless!
"Therefore, Contestant Raditz wins this match!" Alisha announced again.
The spectators stared wide-eyed, genuinely speechless.
Prince Vegeta... you were far too careless.
To actually be eliminated by someone with ten times lower battle power than you.
Vegeta: "..."
The corner of Vegeta's mouth twitched uncontrollably, his expression growing increasingly grim.
"The champion of Planet Vegeta's First World Martial Arts Tournament is—Contestant Raditz!" Alisha proclaimed loudly.
"Woooo!"
The audience erupted in cheers.
Although many spectators held deep disdain for Raditz's victory,
a win is a win.
He genuinely won the final match through his own means.
After all, Raditz's opponent had ten times his battle power.
If it were anyone else, how could they possibly achieve victory?
Moreover, King Soya had previously stated that luck is also a form of strength.
This guy Raditz definitely has exploding fortune.
Vegeta III: "..."
Vegeta III's face looked worse than if he had eaten shit.
Especially when Vegeta III glanced towards Bardock and saw a faint smile playing on his lips, he felt even more disgruntled.
You idiot, Vegeta!
How could you lose to a Raditz with ten times lower battle power than you?
You were far too careless!
Weren't you quite sharp when fighting Merus earlier?
"Raditz is pretty good." Kale was also happy for Raditz, smiling as she said to Soya, "That's really great. Now the Legendary Super Saiyan trial card will at least be used on one of our own."
Soya nodded slightly.
Actually, what Kale said wasn't entirely accurate.
To the current Soya, all Saiyans were his subjects.
Once I accumulate enough negative emotional value to draw more Legendary Super Saiyan trial cards, I'll strive to give a few backup cards to every Saiyan.
When that time truly comes, every Saiyan will be able to transform into a Legendary Super Saiyan, glowing with green light.
With such overwhelming power, aren't you afraid?
"Let us once again give Contestant Raditz warm applause to congratulate him on winning the tournament championship!" Kale announced with a smile.
The venue immediately erupted into fervent applause, the clapping continuous and rising and falling.
"Now... next, please don't go away; we will immediately proceed to the awards ceremony!" Kale continued with a smile, "We invite champion Contestant Raditz, runner-up Contestant Vegeta, and third-place Contestant Merus to step onto the ring. King Soya will personally present the prizes to you."
"Tch!" Vegeta was extremely displeased.
After all that, I only end up with a single Senzu Bean.
Well, a Senzu Bean is a Senzu Bean!
At least it means an extra life from now on.
And perhaps my battle power could even double after eating a Senzu Bean following a severe injury.
Vegeta could only console himself like this.
The happiest one here was Raditz, grinning so wide his front teeth were almost falling out.
Merus, however, wore an expression of complete calm.
Yet, standing on the ring, Merus suddenly felt something was amiss.
Immediately after, Merus turned his head to look in a certain direction, locking eyes with Vados in the spectator stands.
Vados blinked at Merus.
