Goku already felt that these two individuals were not simple, and now, upon seeing them, it was indeed the case.
Goku and Bardock were like this, and as for the other spectators, especially those younger ones with decent strength, as well as Gine and Raditz, their expressions were filled with shock. Previously, Bulma, Chi-Chi, and Gine successively losing to Feng Baobao, who was Aira in disguise, had already caught everyone's attention, but upon seeing the power she displayed now, they realized that this unfamiliar young girl had actually hidden her strength before.
Of course, among everyone, only one person's expression was full of resentment. This person was none other than Bulma, who had encountered Aira on her first match. She had long guessed that the person using the alias Feng Baobao was Aira. Originally, Bulma wasn't sure if Rhode had disguised himself to participate in this World Martial Arts Tournament. But at this moment, seeing that someone was evenly matched with Sister Aira, she didn't need to think twice; that bald simpleton must be Rhode in disguise. Because she understood Aira well enough, in Bulma's opinion, there was no one on Earth who could fight Sister Aira to a standstill except for Rhode. These two guys are too dishonorable! Thinking of Rhode and Aira participating in the World Martial Arts Tournament after disguising themselves, Bulma couldn't help but inwardly complain while watching their fight.
Regardless of what everyone was thinking, on the stage at this moment, after an intense exchange, Rhode and Aira separated and stood still.
"It seems that if we continue fighting like this, it will be difficult to determine a winner." After an exchange of blows, with their battle power limited to 100,000, and their strength being equal, plus the fact that the two had sparred countless times and understood each other very well, neither of them gained any significant advantage. Furthermore, both of them had undergone modifications using the Elementary Modification Technique, making their stamina and recovery extremely powerful. If they were to fight with only 100,000 battle power, they could probably fight non-stop for ten days and nights without getting tired.
Although Rhode's control over power was stronger than Aira's, Aira had been continuously improving her control over power throughout these years. Therefore, even if there was a difference between them now, it was a microscopic one. Unless it was an extremely demanding use of power control, like Super Saiyan stacking Great Ape Power, there would be no difference in their control over power.
"Indeed, if we just keep fighting, we won't get a result in a short time." Facing Aira's words, Rhode also agreed wholeheartedly. However, at this point, he suddenly changed the topic: "But, I've recently developed a new move. If I use it, it should be able to determine the winner instantly!"
"Oh?" Hearing Rhode's words, Aira raised an eyebrow, and then similarly smiled: "I've also created a new move, and its power is not bad!"
"In that case," Aira's words entered his ears, and Rhode's expression showed some surprise, but then he spoke thus. However, before he could finish, Aira spoke what was on his mind: "One move to decide the winner?"
"Good!" Facing Aira's words, Rhode immediately nodded in agreement, his gaze falling on her as he spoke softly: "Are you ready? I'm going to make my move!"
"Come!" Aira was not afraid, speaking confidently.
Limit Break Annihilation! Before Aira's voice had even faded, Rhode's figure had already appeared before her, then he unleashed a punch, concentrating all his power at a single point, multiplying it exponentially, instantly reaching its maximum.
Infinite Flash! Facing Rhode's seemingly unremarkable punch, Aira also threw a punch. With one punch, an endless stream of power continuously surged out, stacking into that single punch.
Boom! Fists collided, and the resulting shockwave instantly shattered the martial arts stage.
Bang! The next moment, a figure flew backward, crashing into the outer protective shield. The figure that flew back was none other than Aira.
Compared to Aira's Infinite Flash technique, which continuously stacked power and grew stronger, Rhode's Limit Break Annihilation, which he had devised, focused on instantly unleashing the strongest power to directly defeat an opponent. Under such circumstances, in an instant collision, the outcome was naturally predictable.
As for the subsequent combat capability after instantly unleashing the strongest power, there was naturally no need to worry. After all, the Modification Technique was not researched for nothing. With Rhode's current body recovery ability, he could fully recover in a breath. Once the Elementary Modification Technique is upgraded to the Intermediate Modification Technique, stamina can be instantly restored. If it reaches the Ultimate Modification Technique, then there will only be a problem of Rhode's output limit, but no issue of stamina depletion. Currently, this move has only just been successfully created, with an instantaneous power increase of about tenfold. In the future, as research deepens, it will only become stronger.
"I lost!"
Although Aira was sent flying by Rhode's explosive punch, she was only sent flying and did not suffer any damage whatsoever. After all, the two had agreed to limit their power to 100,000 battle power. Even if the instantaneous explosive power of this punch increased tenfold, it would only be one million battle power, which is not even a fraction of Aira's true power now. Therefore, it was completely impossible to cause her any harm.
At this moment, Aira, who had returned to Rhode's presence, felt a bit disheartened but accepted her defeat with extreme composure. However, as their fists collided, she also understood the reason for her loss: her Infinite Flash technique lacked sufficient explosive power. Unless a beam struggle falls into a stalemate, allowing for stacked power, or if this move is used at the very beginning of a fight against an opponent or enemy, stacking power during the initial attack, only then can ultimate victory be achieved. If it's a collision that instantly decides victory, like before, this move becomes very impractical.
This move was created based on the Self-Evolution Technique. However, it now appears that, like the subsequent battle power increase of the Self-Evolution Technique, it is full of uncertainty. It needs further improvement! Aira figured out the reason for her defeat and couldn't help but ponder to herself.
"It's alright, your move is still pretty good!" Seeing that Aira clearly minded the outcome, Rhode immediately comforted her. Although Aira's move lacked sufficient instantaneous explosive power, if used against a fixed target, it could unleash its maximum potential. It seems this move is very suitable for me. I can use Time Stop to control the opponent, then continuously stack attack power, and when the enemy breaks free, they'll take a huge hit! Thinking of this, Rhode immediately suggested to Aira: "If you can fix your opponent in place, your move can unleash its full power."
"Fix in place?" Hearing this, Aira pondered, then nodded: "That's true!"
"Alright, our battle is over. Next up is the father-son match between Goku and Bardock. I just wonder how long Bardock can last!" With their victor decided, Rhode was instantly filled with anticipation for the upcoming battle between Goku and Bardock.
Although Goku was stronger, even significantly so, given his personality, he definitely wouldn't go all out from the start. In that case, the relatively weaker Bardock might not be without a chance.
