“Time-Skip！”
Everyone in the arena suddenly found their vision blurring. Following that, ki blasts from Gohan and Linro shot out of the arena.
However, Lin Chen, who should have been pushed out along with the ki blasts, was nowhere to be seen.
“Where’s Lin Chen!?”
“You fools! He’s behind you!”
Under exclamations, Lin Chen had already appeared beside the warriors of the fourth group.
Facing their incredulous stares, Lin Chen began his assault.
The surrounding people tried to flee, but it was already too late.
“Time Prison!”
Nearly eight warriors from the fourth group were frozen in time by Lin Chen, like statues, then, one after another, they were flicked off the arena with a flick of his fingers.
“Stop!”
The two Namekian warriors from Universe 6, Saonel and Pilina, moved to attack Lin Chen from both sides, attempting to stop him.
But their arms merely passed through Lin Chen’s afterimage.
“This is…” Hit, who was watching from the sidelines, exclaimed.
He realized that Lin Chen was now utilizing Tides of Time, a technique he had used only once before in the tournament between Universe 6 and 7.
Tides of Time could store time, create dimension with the stored time, and move freely, leaving only illusions in the real world.
The reason others’ attacks had failed just now was because Lin Chen’s body was already in another dimension.
“Don’t panic! He’ll be vulnerable when he attacks!”
In the end, Saonel and Pilina were people from his own universe, so Hit still reminded them, not caring if it would expose his own technique.
“Where will he appear?”
Pilina and Saonel stood back to back, their fists clenched, adopting a fighting stance with guarded expressions.
At that moment, Lin Chen, concealed within the Tides of Time, appeared directly between the two. With his absolute strength, he had no need for any sneak attacks.
“Watch out!” Pilina shouted, pushing Saonel to the side, extending his arms to bind Lin Chen.
But Lin Chen suddenly thrust his fist directly at Saonel’s chest.
Boom!
Though there was no direct contact, the force of Lin Chen’s punch generated a tremendous shockwave, sending Pilina flying.
“Pilina!”
Saonel tried to catch his comrade, but as soon as he did, he too was sent flying.
Fortunately, at that moment, Gohan arrived, grabbing hold of both of them.
“Thank you… so much!”
Narrowly escaping elimination, Saonel and Pilina expressed their gratitude.
“It’s nothing. We’re all allies now, and in my universe, I’m good friends with the Namekians.”
While Gohan managed to rescue the two Namekians, contestants from other universes weren’t as fortunate.
The names of the contestants from the fourth group were consecutively announced by the Grand Priest.
“Zarbuto and Harmira from Universe 2! Biarra and Narirama from Universe 3! Zircor and Rylibeu from Universe 10 are eliminated!”
The words of the Grand Priest cast a somber mood over the gods of the other universes.
“Damn it! We’ve lost half our universe!”
“So have we…”
“How much power is Lin Chen still hiding? A mere mortal, yet he has comprehended the Law of Time!”
However, at that moment, a deafening roar, accompanied by a powerful blast, erupted in the arena.
In the center of the blast, Lin Chen’s fist was firmly caught by Linro.
“Linro, you’ve grown up,” Lin Chen sighed.
Just now, he had attempted to use Tides of Time to attack Linro again, but unexpectedly, Linro seized the opportunity at the only moment he could counterattack.
To seize the opportunity in such a small window of time, quick reflexes alone weren’t enough.
“Hehe, Dad, we’ve been working hard too!” Linro grinned at Lin Chen’s praise.
But a smirk appeared at the corner of Lin Chen’s mouth.
“Don’t get too cocky, I’m just getting started!”
In the next moment, the fists of the two collided directly.
This time, Linro’s figure was instantly sent flying backward.
“How could this be?” Linro looked surprised.
But Lin Chen wore a scornful expression.
“It seems you still need to learn a lot!”
Lin Chen didn’t further transform or use Kaio-ken. That punch just now relied entirely on the Law of Time.
At the moment when the fists of the two clashed, Lin Chen’s Time-Skip technique allowed him to deliver hundreds of punches in an instant.
The overlapping force was naturally far beyond what Linro could withstand.
In the end, Linro’s figure crashed directly onto the arena, hitting a protruding piece of rubble from the earlier battle.
The stone cracked, and Linro fell.
“Mr. Buu, could you please check on him!” At the same time, Gohan’s voice sounded. After instructing Buu, it was his turn to take action.
However, Gohan wasn’t alone; there was someone else with revenge in mind, moving together with him.
“Universe 7 Saiyan! Cover me, I’ll lead the attack!” Frost’s face was pale as he rushed ahead of Gohan.
The two Namekians from before also followed closely behind Gohan, refusing to be outdone.
The four of them moved in for the kill, launching attacks from all directions on Lin Chen.
The figures darted back and forth in the void, their speeds astonishingly fast, turning into four smooth streaks of light that constantly collided and separated from Lin Chen.
However, it was clear that out of the four, only Frost and Gohan could barely keep up with Lin Chen’s movements, while the two Namekians were already overwhelmed.
If it weren’t for this being a tournament, they probably wouldn’t have survived for more than 3 seconds.
Even though Lin Chen was facing four opponents, he still handled them with ease, and even had the opportunity to set his sights on those who should have been eliminated long ago.
Such as the four members of the Pride Troopers from Universe 11.
After driving away Piccolo and Saonel with a feint attack, Lin Chen turned around and launched a Kamehameha at the four members of the Pride Troopers.
The four of them were caught off guard when they realized that even while surrounded, Lin Chen managed to find the time to attack them, leaving them momentarily stunned.
Fortunately, among the four, there was Cocotte, nicknamed “The Dimensional Illusionist”.
A dimensional barrier blocked the Kamehameha.
But immediately after, Gohan’s cry rang out.
“Be careful, he’s coming!”
After the Kamehameha, Lin Chen followed through and charged towards the four members of the Pride Troopers.
“Everyone, we’ve underestimated him!”
“Counterattack! Use that move!”
“Let him witness the pride of Pride Troopers!”
At K’nsi’s suggestion, the four of them formed a line.
“United Justice Stream!”
In the next moment, the four of them simultaneously unleashed an energy wave. These four energy waves converged in mid-air, forming a single wave that seemed no less powerful than Lin Chen’s previous attack.
However, faced with this attack, Lin Chen didn’t slow down; it seemed he intended to push through head-on.
“Don’t underestimate us!” Cocotte shouted, unleashing even greater power.
Rumble!
The energy wave turned into a torrent, roaring with a deafening sound, its powerful aura seemingly causing the space itself to collapse.
