"Ahh… ahhh…"
Watching the scene on the fighting stage, both the martial artists present at the scene and those watching through television couldn't help but open their mouths in shock.
Dead. The Wildman King had been killed!
The small Cell Juniors cackled with eerie laughter, while Krillin, snapping out of his daze, couldn't hold back his anger and shouted:
"Hey, Cell! Didn't you say the rules were the same as the World Martial Arts Tournament?"
"Killing is prohibited in the World Martial Arts Tournament!"
Not only Krillin and the others, but even Yuujin and Gokumi's group had their expressions darken.
"I think you've all misunderstood something."
"I only said the rules are roughly the same as the World Martial Arts Tournament, not that they're exactly the same."
"This is a battle that will decide the fate of humanity and the entire world. Did you really think it was just some playful game?"
Cell sneered with a mocking smile, but then, as if remembering something, he added:
"Of course, I can understand how you feel."
"Fine, I'll have the Cell Juniors try not to kill anyone else. But if you provoke them, then there's nothing I can do."
Watching Cell's pretentious attitude, everyone was furious but helpless.
This Cell was a monster who intended to destroy humanity and the world. Expecting him to follow the rules from the start was a mistake!
"What's wrong? Are you all scared after just one death? Is there no one else willing to step up and challenge?"
Cell scanned the area below the stage, while the other Cell Juniors cackled with sadistic glee.
"I'll go!"
"I'll go!"
Those who had come here had already prepared themselves, and several angry martial artists jumped onto the stage.
However, as expected, all the challengers ended up defeated, and after a few rounds, several more unfortunate martial artists were killed!
The Cell Juniors were just as evil and cruel as their father, Cell. At first, they barely followed the rules, but soon they were simply enjoying the slaughter of the martial artists!
The entire world fell silent.
For the first time, people truly understood the brutality of this Cell Game.
"Damn it, we can't let this continue!"
"Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu, Piccolo, let's go!"
Unable to stand by any longer, Yamcha shouted.
The other martial artists were no match for the Cell Juniors. Letting them continue would only lead to more victims!
"Got it!"
"Hmph!"
Krillin and the others nodded, while Piccolo let out a cold snort. The five of them flew onto separate stages.
"It's the masters of the Kame School and Tsuru School!"
"And that Demon King Piccolo!"
"Great! If it's them, they can definitely defeat those monsters!"
Seeing Yamcha and Piccolo take the stage, the atmosphere heated up again.
Unlike the other martial artists, Tien, Yamcha, and the others represented the pinnacle of Earth's martial arts. Their strength far surpassed that of ordinary martial artists.
If it's them, maybe they can do it!
"Things are finally getting interesting."
"Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo—now is the time to witness the results of your years of training."
Cell's lips curled into a smirk, while Yuujin thought to himself.
In terms of pure energy and power, Tien and the others still couldn't match the Cell Juniors—even Piccolo, the strongest among them. But real battles aren't won solely by energy and strength. Many other factors come into play.
In terms of willpower, strength, and combat experience, Tien and Piccolo were exceptional. That's why Yuujin held great expectations for them.
"Hehehe!!!"
The Cell Juniors also sensed that these challengers were different from the previous opponents, but instead of feeling nervous or afraid, they grew even more excited.
Killing weak opponents wasn't fun. It was much more interesting to kill strong ones!
"They look so small, but their energy is terrifying."
"They really are monsters!"
Looking at their respective opponents, Krillin and the others wore serious expressions.
"The challenge begins!"
This time, only Piccolo and the other four challengers were present, leaving three stages empty. However, seeing no other martial artists step forward, Cell didn't mind and simply announced:
"Begin!"
"Haaaa!!!!!"
Hearing Cell's voice, Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, and Chiaotzu erupted with crimson energy, almost simultaneously activating the Kaio-ken.
Although the Cell Juniors were small, they were ferocious, cruel, and incredibly powerful. The fighters had to go all out from the start!
"Hahahahaha!!!!!"
This battle was on a completely different level from the previous ones. Tien, Yamcha, and the others charged at their opponents, unleashing a flurry of attacks. Both sides used high-speed movement, constantly flashing around the stage and the sky.
Those watching through television couldn't see their movements or figures, only hearing the deafening explosions. Even among the martial artists present, only a few could keep up with Tien and the others' movements.
But it didn't matter if they couldn't see. As long as they knew Master Tien and Master Yamcha were strong, that was enough. Both the martial artists on-site and people around the world cheered excitedly, shouting words of encouragement for Tien and the others.
"Hya!!!"
In the sky, Krillin launched a powerful energy blast at his opponent, but the Cell Junior easily dodged it.
The Cell Junior cackled eerily, and sensing something, Krillin quickly teleported away. The Cell Junior, who had been in front of him, suddenly appeared at his side, its claw-like hand piercing through the afterimage Krillin had left behind.
"That was close," Krillin thought to himself as he and the Cell Junior erupted with energy and charged at each other again.
"Hahahahaha!!!!!"
Punching wildly, the two exchanged thousands of blows in the blink of an eye.
Realizing he was at a disadvantage, Krillin knew he couldn't keep this up. He forced the Cell Junior back with a punch, then raised his hand to the sky, forming a massive energy disc—
"Kienzan! (Destructo Disc!)"
Krillin hurled the energy disc at his opponent, but the Cell Junior cackled and formed its own energy disc, launching it in response.
The two discs collided in midair, erupting in a blinding explosion.
"What?!"
Krillin's eyes widened in shock. The Cell Junior had used his own technique!
But it wasn't just him. The same thing happened with Tien, Yamcha, and the others.
Tien's Kikoho (Spirit Cannon), Yamcha's Kamehameha, Chiaotzu's Dodon Ray, and even Piccolo's Makankosappo (Special Beam Cannon)—all of their techniques were countered by the Cell Juniors using the same moves!
