“How is it, Lin Chen? This is my current strength!” Super Lazuli said provocatively.
At that moment, Lin Chen also retracted his disdain.
“I never thought Lazuli would merge with 18… You two originally looked alike, so naturally, there’s no change after fusion.”
“But Lazuli, why did you go this far?”
“It’s all because of you!” Super Lazuli said resentfully.
“Lin Chen, do you know how Lazuli has been living these years?”
“You should know her feelings, yet why haven’t you taken that step?”
“Just because of this?”
Lin Chen was speechless.
Since Lazuli followed Lin Chen to his world years ago, their relationship has been quite delicate.
On Lazuli’s side, although her actions have made her feelings very clear, she had never clarified her relationship with Lin Chen in words.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen himself has always gone with the flow. Although in front of others, he has treated Lazuli as family, but between them, they never crossed the final line.
Coupled with Lin Chen being busy with training or missions over the years, his relationship with Lazuli hasn’t progressed much.
Who would have thought all this would turn into Lazuli’s resentment?
Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Super Lazuli’s face immediately showed anger.
“Lin Chen! It’s because of this attitude of yours that Lazuli has been troubled so much! If you have something to say, why not say it directly!”
Saying that, Super Lazuli stomped her foot and once again swung her fist at Lin Chen. This time, Lazuli didn’t hold back and directly aimed at Lin Chen’s vital points.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sensing Super Lazuli’s murderous intent, Lin Chen also moved to block this time.
The two of them, one attacking and one defending, quickly engaged in a brawl.
In the Dragon Ball GT world, there was once a Super 17 created by the fusion of two Android 17.
Now, Lazuli’s fusion with 18 using Potara Earrings was very similar to that.
In terms of Power Level, Super Lazuli’s strength is already comparable to Super Saiyan Blue, and with her infinite energy, she is truly a formidable opponent.
Moreover, out of guilt towards Lazuli, Lin Chen only defended himself when facing Super Lazuli, while also keeping an eye on Vegeta and Frieza’s movements.
Although those two hadn’t acted yet, their gaze remained fixed on Lin Chen. Perhaps if Lin Chen showed any openings, they would seize the opportunity to attack.
This kind of battle was truly challenging for Lin Chen.
After some thought, Lin Chen’s gaze fell on the people around him who were watching the battle.
At this moment, most of the contestants from the second and fifth group who were participating in the battle were gathered around the battlefield as spectators. Among them, there were many individuals whom Lin Chen considered merely filling the numbers as contestants, with strength hardly worth mentioning.
Consider yourself unlucky. I may not be able to eliminate Lazuli, but can’t I handle you all?”
Suddenly, Lin Chen spread his hands and shouted, “Solar Flare!”
A blinding light burst forth.
Because they had been focused on observing Lin Chen’s battle, many people among the spectators were caught off guard and temporarily lost their sight.
Gasps resounded continuously.
Even Super Lazuli was shocked and shouted, “Not good!”
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Chen turned into a silver-gray shadow and charged into the crowd.
As if venting his frustration, several ki blasts were sent directly at these small fries.
Immediately, before those people even regained their sight, they each let out a scream.
“Universe 10, Dyrasem and Murisam has been eliminated!”
“Universe 11, Tupper and Vewon has been eliminated!”
“Universe 7, Piccolo has been eliminated!”
“Universe 6, Botamo and Dr. Rota has been eliminated!”
“Universe 2, Bikal and Prum has been eliminated!”
In just a short span of ten seconds, the Grand Priest consecutively announced the elimination of nine contestants.
And these nine contestants were all from the fifth group.
“He’s eliminating the weaker ones!”
Finally regaining his sight, Kahseral exclaimed, then said to the remaining people, “Warriors of the second group, gather!”
“Too late!”
Lin Chen suddenly appeared in front of Kahseral. It seemed that his next target was this general from Universe 11.
But just before Lin Chen could attack him, a purple whirlwind rushed towards him from the side.
“Kahseral, hold on to me tightly!”
Dyspo from Universe 11 quickly grabbed Kahseral, pulling him away from Lin Chen.
Dyspo was the fastest warrior in Universe 11. By the time Lin Chen noticed that Dyspo had rescued Kahseral, they had already appeared by Jiren and the others’ side.
Seeing this, Lin Chen had no choice but to abandon his attack.
And just as he was about to change targets, Super Lazuli, having regained her vision, attacked again.
“Lin Chen, your opponent is me!”
“And us!”
Vegeta and Frieza also joined the fray.
This time, they didn’t let Lazuli fight alone. Instead, the three of them engaged Lin Chen together.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The figures moved back and forth in the arena, their speed extremely fast, constantly colliding and separating.
In the arena, rough stones would occasionally fly out due to the fighting.
A violent energy storm swept out from the four, stirring up a fierce tempest.
The expression of those nearby with slightly weaker strength changed and they quickly moved away from the combat zone.
“Caulifla, let’s retreat too!”
Universe 6’s Cabba pulled Caulifla.
But Caulifla didn’t move. Instead, she clenched her fists and said, “Cabba, I can’t take it…”
“Umm?”
“We’ve worked so hard, yet there is still such a vast disparity between us and them! Cabba, I refuse to accept this! I want to fight too, not just stand here and watch!”
“No! Caulifla, now is not the time for us to act! Let’s wait a while!”
Cabba held Caulifla firmly, trying to persuade her while dragging her some distance from Lin Chen and others.
Meanwhile, on Universe 3’s side, the robot Borareta and Pancéa emitted incomprehensible beeping sounds, then turned to their teammates from the first group, the robot Koitsukai and Dr. Paparoni.
Dr. Paparoni took a deep breath and nodded. “I understand, Borareta, Pancéa, prepare yourselves. Once their battle yields a result, it will be our time to fuse!”
On Universe 10’s side, the contestant Murichim, resembling a monk, said to his companion Rubalt, “Hey, hey! Don’t you think they’re getting closer to us?”
“Let-Let’s retreat! Don’t get caught up in the aftermath of their battle.”
“Terrifying, how can these people be so powerful? Are they still mortals?”
Murichim and Rubalt were about to turn and flee when suddenly, the battle in the distance jumped right next to them.
Boom!
Several violent collisions produced a storm that swept over them.
In just an instant, Murichim and Rubalt, the two Universe 10’s second group’s contestants, were sent flying.
