Chapter 35 Krillin VS Piccolo
The first match was Krillin versus New Piccolo (hereafter referred to as Piccolo). Before the match began, Shangyun and Goku had already told everyone about Piccolo's identity, strength, moves, and the relationship between Kami and Piccolo. Therefore, Krillin was aware of his opponent's strength and wanted to have a good match with the guy who had killed him.
Even before the match began, the atmosphere was incredibly tense. Krillin stood on the ring, facing the cold-faced Piccolo. The former King Piccolo had brought immense disaster to the world, and Krillin's friend, Goku, was the hero who defeated him. Now, Piccolo's son stood before Krillin, a mixture of old and new grudges filling Krillin's eyes with unwavering determination. The audience below held their breath, knowing this match was going to be incredibly intense.
As soon as the bell rang, Krillin, following Shang Yun's advice, decided to stop probing and launch a full-scale attack on Piccolo. He instantly unleashed two energy beams from both hands, shooting towards Piccolo like arrows. Piccolo, initially thinking the incoming energy beams were nothing, lightly leaped away, expecting to easily dodge them. However, Krillin's beams had an automatic tracking function, which surprised Piccolo. Piccolo constantly changed position in the air, but the energy beams relentlessly pursued him. Left with no other option, he had to use his laser eyes to counter the attack. Two laser beams shot from Piccolo's eyes, accurately striking and neutralizing the energy beams.
Piccolo had barely broken through the double energy wave and hadn't even had time to gloat when Krillin appeared behind him. It turned out that while Piccolo was dealing with the energy wave, Krillin had quickly moved behind him. Before Piccolo could react, Krillin threw a punch directly at him. The punch was incredibly fast and powerful; Piccolo didn't have time to fully dodge and was sent flying. Krillin then quickly returned to the ring, ready to face Piccolo's counterattack. Enraged that Krillin had hit him and then run away, Piccolo flew straight towards the center of the ring.
Back in the ring, Piccolo's eyes were filled with rage. He realized Krillin had improved far beyond what he had seen before. Krillin attacked Piccolo again, his punches now much faster, each one accompanied by a whooshing sound. Piccolo, being stronger, blocked all of Krillin's attacks, but he was still getting annoyed. So, Piccolo took to the air again, and Krillin, not to be outdone, gave chase. Just as Krillin reached Piccolo, Piccolo kicked him. The kick was powerful, and everyone thought Krillin would be kicked out of the ring, but surprisingly, Krillin stopped abruptly at the edge of the ring. The crowd below was stunned. Krillin had actually learned the art of aerial combat. That's right, it was Shang Yun who taught Krillin the night before. Shang Yun knew that future battles would primarily take place in the air, and everyone needed to master aerial combat. So, he taught Krillin aerial combat the night before, thus preventing him from being kicked out of the ring.
Piccolo was somewhat surprised by Krillin's tenacity. He returned to the ring and said to Krillin, "You've surprised me twice, so I'll show you my full power." With that, Piccolo's muscles began to swell, making him even more muscular and rounder. Tien Shinhan could see Piccolo's demonic energy emanating from his third eye on his forehead.
Piccolo, having completed his transformation, sneered at Krillin, "Hahahaha! You've seen my power, aren't you trembling all over? Now I'll give you a chance to surrender. If you take the initiative to admit defeat, I can spare your life. Today, I'm going to kill Goku. Think carefully, this is your only chance. Otherwise, I will kill you like my father did!"
Klin felt humiliated upon hearing this and firmly declared, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!" Thus, Klin launched another attack on Piccolo.
Krillin unleashed a barrage of punches at Piccolo, but Piccolo's strength far surpassed Krillin's. Piccolo easily blocked every single one of Krillin's blows, even mocking Krillin for being as slow as a bull. Then, Piccolo punched Krillin, sending him flying. Krillin crashed heavily to the ground, but he didn't give up. Instead, he got up again and continued charging at Piccolo. Seeing Krillin's tenacity, Piccolo felt a surge of admiration. Although he couldn't kill Krillin now, because according to the rules of the tournament, killing someone would result in disqualification, which would prevent him from killing Goku in front of everyone and announcing to the world that King Piccolo had returned. Therefore, although Piccolo greatly admired Krillin's tenacity, he wouldn't show any mercy.
Piccolo attacked again, kicking Krillin into the air. Knowing this was his last chance, Krillin frantically charged up a Kamehameha wave. The instant Piccolo appeared behind him, Krillin turned and unleashed the wave. However, Piccolo was incredibly fast; it was merely an afterimage of his afterimage punch. The real Piccolo attacked Krillin from behind. Krillin was stunned and disoriented by the blow, crashing rapidly towards the ring. Goku and the others below, thinking Krillin was about to be killed, were filled with worry.
After shooting down Krillin, Piccolo quickly descended, expressing his dissatisfaction upon landing: "You're really tenacious, huh? But I still managed to hit you. What a waste of time." He felt Krillin was too resilient, making the battle difficult. After all, he sensed that Goku had been training with Kami in Kami's Palace for three years. Although he didn't know how strong Goku was, he was certain he wasn't much weaker than himself. Moreover, with Shang Yun's powerful support, he needed to conserve his energy to kill Goku in one fell swoop. Once Goku was dead, killing the others would only be a matter of time, and time was the last thing Piccolo Daimaō lacked.
Just when everyone thought Krillin, even if he wasn't dead, should at least be unconscious, surprisingly, he got up again. Although he was standing, he was exhausted and knew he couldn't continue fighting, so he sat down on the ground and surrendered. Shang Yun and Goku rushed to help Krillin off the stage. Master Roshi, watching Krillin from below, thought with satisfaction, "Krillin, well done! He's truly my disciple." Master Roshi couldn't help but reminisce about their first meeting.
The fight between Piccolo and Krillin ended in Krillin's defeat, but Krillin's bravery and tenacity earned everyone's respect.
