My two-dimensional resident

Bardock's aura surged forth like a tidal wave, one wave after another, spreading outwards.

Although there was a defensive barrier around the arena's stands, the overwhelming aura still shocked Goku.

He couldn't help but look at Kikyo and said with concern.

"Don't worry..."

Kikyo gently stroked Goku's hair and spoke in a tender tone.

Bardock can transform into a Super Saiyan, and so can Lin Tian.

Kikyo already knew the outcome of this duel in her heart.

hum!

As golden flames rose from Bardock's body, his originally dark hair stood on end, turning golden. Bardock had once again transformed into a Super Saiyan.

"Island Master Lin Tian, ​​are you not going to transform?"

Bardock looked at Lin Tian with his emerald green eyes. Seeing that Lin Tian did not transform into a Super Saiyan like himself, he asked with some confusion.

"No rush, I want to try whether I can defeat you without transforming."

Lin Tian chuckled, and then the chakra in his body began to flow rapidly between various acupoints.

In an instant, the eight gates of the Eight Gates of the Formation—the Open Gate, the Rest Gate, the Life Gate, the Injury Gate, the Block Gate, and the seventh gate—the View Gate—were opened, and a burst of emerald green energy emanated from Lin Tian's body.

Although it doesn't have the overwhelming golden aura of a Super Saiyan, the aura of the Eight Gates is not to be ignored.

Then, the Insect Breathing technique obtained from Shinobu Kocho was activated, and the emerald green flames transformed into two enormous wings on Lin Tian's back.

Bardock frowned slightly as he observed the changes in Lin Tian. Having transformed into a Super Saiyan, he could clearly feel the aura emanating from Lin Tian's body, which made him extremely uneasy.

"Island Master Lin Tian, ​​be careful."

After reminding Lin Tian, ​​Bardak's entire body once again transformed into a blur as he charged towards Lin Tian.

Lin Tian looked at Bardock approaching and rarely showed a serious expression. He quickly activated the Armament Haki within his body, turning his entire arms black.

At this moment, Bardock had already arrived in front of him, and Lin Tian did not hesitate to strike back at Bardock's fist.

boom!

The power storm generated by the collision of fists swept across the entire arena, and a void storm spread out between the two, wantonly destroying everything in the arena.

The balance of the power storm was broken, pushing both of them backward. After regaining their footing, Lin Tian and Bardak didn't linger for a moment.

They continued charging towards the other side.

However, in this round of the battle, Bardock, who transformed into a Super Saiyan, clearly had the upper hand, but he did not achieve a decisive victory.

"This! Aunt Kikyo, I can't see it again..."

Whether it was Bardock's Super Saiyan transformation or Lin Tian's Eight Gates Formation, both greatly shocked Goku in the stands. He had never imagined that a person's power could reach such a terrifying level.

The door to a new world opened before Goku, and a seed of becoming a super strong person began to sprout in his heart.

However... the two suddenly increased their fighting power, making it impossible for Goku to see them again, so he had no choice but to ask Kikyo for help.

"I'm sorry, Wukong, there's nothing more I can do."

Kikyo was able to let Goku see their duel because she shared her vision with him.

Now, Lin Tian and Bardock have grown stronger once again, their speed exceeding Kikyo's ability to observe. For a battle of this caliber, she can only monitor their real-time data on the control panel of the management console.

Although Lin Tian was at a disadvantage without transforming into a Super Saiyan, his physical data was normal and he did not suffer any damage.

"You've become stronger, but that doesn't mean you can easily defeat me. Bardock, your fighting style is too one-dimensional. It's easy for others to find your weaknesses."

Taking advantage of Bardock's distraction from his feint, Lin Tian punched Bardock back and then calmly said.

Saiyans fight solely based on their strength and intuition. They don't employ any advanced techniques.

It was easy for Lin Tian, ​​who had learned various martial arts, to find a weakness.

"..."

Lin Tian's words silenced Bardock. He had seemed to have the upper hand in the fight, but each time he attacked Lin Tian, ​​he felt he couldn't unleash his true strength.

Every time a fist was thrown at Lin Tian, ​​he always managed to deflect it.

Bardock felt as if he were fighting a swamp, and no matter how much strength he used, it would be absorbed by the swamp.

"Island Master Lin Tian, ​​may I learn your martial arts techniques from you?"

"Sure. But you'd better give it your all. Because I'm going to go all out!"

Having fought Bardock in his Super Saiyan form for so long, Lin Tian had already estimated his strength after unifying the Eight Gates, Insect Breathing, and Armament Haki.

While not quite a 50x power boost like a Super Saiyan, it's still about 30x. Add to that some martial arts skills and his own higher attribute values ​​than Bardock, and that's why he's been able to hold his own against Bardock in his Super Saiyan form for so long.

Seeing that he was now in a position to go toe-to-toe with Bardock, he decided not to transform into a Super Saiyan anymore and to use all his abilities in this state to defeat Bardock.

"I'm ready!"

Seeing that Lin Tian was serious, Bardak's gaze turned solemn. He began to adjust the energy within his body, preparing to go all in to meet Lin Tian's attack.

"Binding Spell Sixty-Six: Staff of Light Prison!"

As Lin Tian chanted, six enormous light shards emerged from the void, instantly controlling Bardock.

The oppressive feeling emanating from his very soul caused Bardock's face to turn frosty. He roared and began frantically swinging his fists, striking the six-staff light prison that was as thin as a cicada's wing yet possessed a terrifying pressure.

"A faint, murky emblem, an untamed and arrogant talent; a surge, a denial, a paralysis, a moment, hindering eternal slumber. The crawling Iron Princess, the self-mutilating clay doll, combining, rebounding, extending to the ground, know your own powerlessness! The Ninety Black Coffins of the Hakudo!"

By the time Bardock finally managed to break free of the six-staff light prison that had been holding him back, Lin Tian's chanting had ended.

"Damn it..."

Bardock looked at the rising darkness around him and gave a wry smile. He had assumed that Lin Tian's mention of going all out meant he was preparing to transform into a Super Saiyan to fight him.

Unexpectedly, Lin Tian had no martial ethics whatsoever and directly changed his class from warrior to mage.

"My God, what kind of move did Uncle Lin Tian use? He actually managed to subdue Uncle Bardock. I hope Uncle won't get hurt."

When Lin Tian began using Kido, the duel ceased to be a brutal, hand-to-hand combat. After the two stopped rapidly shifting their forms, Goku could see them again.

First, they saw Bardock trapped by six large pieces of light, then enveloped in a huge black coffin. Goku, who had never seen Kido before, gasped and asked Kikyo a question.

"It's not over yet, don't worry..."

Kikyo glanced at the data panel on the screen and noticed that Bardock was in poor condition but not yet at zero health. She then gently spoke to Goku.

"Uh-huh."

Little Goku nodded heavily, his two bright eyes fixed on the black coffin above the arena.

The black coffin shattered, and the darkness vanished back into nothingness. Bardock, covered in blood, knelt on the ring, panting heavily.

The dual attack on his soul and body made Bardock feel as if he had experienced a cycle of purgatory. Looking at Lin Tian, ​​who was smiling in the distance, he suddenly remembered the words of advice Ace and Hyuga Neji had given him.

"If you fight Lin Tian, ​​make sure he doesn't use the Ghost Path!"

Bardak nodded to the two men to indicate that he remembered, but in his heart he scoffed, thinking that their strength was too weak, which was why they were afraid of Lin Tian's Ghost Path.

But now it seems that Bardock was too inexperienced.

If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer.

"Bardock, strength is ever-changing. No enemy will ever fight you with their limbs forever. To become a true powerhouse, you must possess a strong physique capable of withstanding any attack."

Lin Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his previous smile vanished, and he spoke calmly to Bardak.

"I can still fight! Island Master Lin Tian! This time I will definitely evade your demonic path!"

With that, Bardak roared, raising his head and increasing his aura once more, the blazing golden flames enveloping him again. He stood up, ignoring the wounds inflicted by the black blades from the black coffin, and charged towards Lin Tian.

This time, however, Lin Tian did not raise his fist to defend himself. He stood there quietly, even dispelling the Armament Haki on his body.

Bardock was unsure what Lin Tian's actions represented. Although he felt a little uneasy, as a Saiyan, his racial pride prevented him from backing down.

The fist, enveloped in golden flames and crackling with electricity, pierced towards Lin Tian's heart. The moment it made contact with Lin Tian's body, Bardak felt as if his fist had struck a ball of cotton.

It pierced Lin Tian's chest without any resistance. Seeing this, Bardak was shocked and hurriedly tried to pull his arm out.

But three blazing flames shot out from Lin Tian's chest and tightly wrapped around his arms, preventing him from breaking free.

"Ah! Uncle Lin Tian has been injured by the older man! Aunt Kikyo, is Uncle dead?!"

Goku watched as Bardock's figure disappeared from the arena, only to reappear in front of Lin Tian a second later, his arm piercing through Lin Tian's chest. This terrifying scene sent a chill down Goku's spine.

Wasn't this supposed to be a duel? Why the deadly attack? Little Goku was almost in tears; he didn't want to see his newly met, gentle uncle, die like that.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Sometimes seeing is believing."

Seeing that Lin Tian had actually started using the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit to fight Bardock, Kikyo realized that the duel had turned into a lesson, and couldn't help but chuckle. Seeing how worried Goku was about Lin Tian, ​​she quickly whispered words of comfort to him.

"Ahhhh!"

The terrifying heat stung every nerve in Bardock's arm. Even a strong man like him couldn't help but let out a series of groans.

Lin Tian did not stop his attack because of Bardock's miserable state. He snorted coldly, and the raging flames completely engulfed Bardock's arm.

With a bitter expression, Bardak watched as Lin Tian's flames began to spread from his arm to his shoulder. Without thinking, he raised his other arm, his fist transforming into a chop to his shoulder.

He had witnessed the terror of Lin Tian's flames; if he were to be enveloped by them, he would completely lose his ability to fight.

Point Guard Here

As a Saiyan, I never lack the ability to make decisions in the moment. Losing an arm is fine, but I must never let myself be trapped in a hopeless situation where I can't fight back.

"good..."

Lin Tian grasped the severed arm embedded in his chest with his right hand, pulled it out, and threw it on the ground. He nodded calmly at Bardak, who had retreated to a distance.

"But you shouldn't have made this fatal mistake. Now that you've noticed my unusual behavior, you should have thought carefully about whether this is a conspiracy or a trap, instead of fighting on impulse."

Bardock had lost his earlier arrogance. He pressed his palm against the still-bleeding wound, the excruciating pain from his severed arm making his face dark.

Lin Tian was right; he made the most fatal mistake.
