Dragon Ball: Starting with a power level increase of 1 per second

Chapter 273 Pushing the Limits! Creating a Desperate Situation!

At first, Raditz was able to defend with some difficulty.

However, as Super 17's attacks became increasingly fierce, his defenses were gradually weakened, and he was eventually blasted away by Super 17's attack, crashing into a Super Cassin Steel Pillar a kilometer away.

Raditz, embedded in the Super Cassin Steel Pillar, calmed down and began to think rapidly, searching for a way out of the predicament.

[This guy has been watching from the shadows the whole time. He has completely figured out my fighting style. To defeat him, I have to break the rules and change my fighting method. But how do I change it?] Raditz thought of a way to break the deadlock, but breaking the rules is not an easy thing.

Years of training have ingrained his fighting style into his very bones; any deliberate alteration would only expose greater weaknesses.

Unless he can break through his limits further in this battle and improve his fighting techniques once again.

"Damn it, what am I even thinking about? I'll face him with my own fighting style. No matter what secrets he's hiding, I'll win!" Raditz's eyes gradually hardened. Power is everything. Suddenly, divine power surged through his body, and Raditz completely shattered the surrounding Super Cassin Steel Pillars.

Upon landing again, he exuded a restrained aura, his sharp, deep blue eyes fixed intently on Super 17, who was strolling towards him from a distance.

"You Saiyans are all the same; you never give up until the very last moment." Super 17 curled his lips into a wicked smile, beckoned Raditz with his index finger, and said, "Come on, I'll make you admit defeat."

"Hmph!! Don't get too cocky!!" Raditz clenched his fists, and deep blue divine power emanated from his body.

Immediately afterwards, another layer of violent bloodthirsty aura emerged from his body.

"Drink up!!!!" With a furious roar, Raditz unleashed his Blood Burst once again, this time at a multiplier equal to the previous one.

The violent energy transformed into a storm that swept across the arena, causing the entire arena to tremble.

Countless eyes converged on them. After Lin Chuan and Super Hearts' battle ended, Raditz and Super 17 became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Blood energy burst, thirty times!!" As soon as he finished speaking, Raditz suddenly rushed out, transforming into a streak of blood-red aurora and heading straight for Super 17.

"Good timing!" Super 17 responded calmly, constantly analyzing Raditz's various data in his retina.

He gathered energy in his right fist and unleashed a powerful, unstoppable strike.

Raditz then unleashed a powerful punch.

Boom! The storm expanded, space rippled, and powerful aftershocks impacted all directions.

The battle between Raditz and Super 17 has begun!

"Bang!! Bang!! Bang!! Bang!! Bang!! ..." Several booming sounds erupted on the arena of the Boundless Realm.

Raditz and Super 17 moved through the various areas of the ring with lightning speed.

The intense hand-to-hand combat between the two delivered an ultimate visual feast!

The battle zone kept changing, and Raditz and Super 17 were locked in a stalemate, each attacking and defending, chasing and striking.

This battle was the turning point for Raditz's transformation; his potential was deeply developed, and his strength improved rapidly.

The stronger Raditz is, the more excited Super 17 becomes.

The energy generated by Raditz's every attack is absorbed by the energy absorption device inside his body and transformed into his power.

This fierce battle, where the two sides were evenly matched, was also witnessed by Lin Chuan, who was not far away.

"That's not right. Raditz should have already discovered Super 17's abilities, so why is he still fighting like this?" Lin Chuan wondered.

Given Raditz's combat talent, discovering the secret of Super 17's ability to absorb energy wouldn't be difficult.

But upon closer examination, Lin Chuan seemed to have guessed Raditz's thoughts.

Both Goku and Vegeta in the past broke through the shell of their potential due to powerful enemies, resulting in a huge explosion of their potential and a surge in power.

While Super 17 cannot be compared to characters like King and Jiren, his growth is endless.

Raditz is doing this perhaps to create a monster that will force him to push his limits.

"If that's really the case, then let me see just how far you'll go. Will you surpass the ultimate level of Super Saiyan Blue Stage 3, or will you master a completely new form..." Lin Chuan was looking forward to it.

It should be noted that his current understanding of Super Saiyan God is only Super Saiyan Blue, Stage 3, God's Ultimate.

If Raditz can achieve a breakthrough in this form, it would mean that Raditz has indirectly surpassed him.

Besides Lin Chuan, Ji Lian was also paying attention to this battle.

"Saiyans... what an incredible race," Jiren murmured.

The previous exciting battles were all performed by the Saiyans of Universe 7.

First, he faced off against the Saiyan Son Goku, the God of Destruction, King.

Then came the Saiyan Vegeta, who fought against him.

Next up was Lin Chuan, whom he considered his final opponent.

Now, there's another one, Raditz.

These Saiyans have unfathomable potential, and it's hard to imagine what kind of brilliance they will unleash in this Tournament of Power.

However, in Jiren's mind, the champion of this Tournament of Power will only be him!

No matter who the opponent is, no one can defeat him who has mastered the ultimate power!

……

This is the viewing area in Universe 7.

Everyone watched with rapt attention as Raditz and Super 17 battled.

"A thirty-fold increase in blood energy is certainly powerful, but Big Brother's previous hundred-fold increase in blood energy has already consumed most of his stamina. Can he withstand this high-intensity battle?" Sun Wukong was worried about Raditz.

The burst of energy has both advantages and disadvantages. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it becomes for Raditz, as it significantly depletes his stamina.

"Let's keep watching. Raditz must have his own plans," Vegeta said coldly.

His keen insight detected that something was amiss.

Raditz's choice to confront them head-on seems to have its own reasons.

"Still can't even see the afterimages clearly... The difference in strength... is not small at all..." Krillin smiled bitterly. He was already very focused, using both his divine sense and his eyes, but he still couldn't see the battle between Raditz and Super 17 clearly.

"The dimensional gap is too great... Their realm... is far beyond our current reach..." Tien Shinhan seconded.

That being said, Tien Shinhan is still confident that he can reach this level.

It's just that it will take a long time.

Over the years, every breakthrough and every step forward they've taken would have been impossible without their own efforts, even with Lin Chuan's constant assistance.

"That guy from another dimension is acting strangely... He's absorbing Raditz's energy..." Beerus, the God of Destruction with keen insight, noticed the anomaly.

"Lord Beerus is right. That person has the ability to absorb energy to improve himself. Since the start of the competition, he has absorbed a lot of energy to improve himself. However... Raditz seems to have noticed this as well, and now he seems to be deliberately letting him absorb energy," Weiss said.

"He already knew the other party's ability, yet he deliberately let them absorb energy... What is this guy thinking?" Beerus was very confused. What was Raditz planning? Had he lost his mind?

"Perhaps... Raditz wants to create a powerful opponent, and then use the pressure from that person to break through his own limits," Weiss explained.

There seems to be no better explanation.

"Creating a powerful opponent himself? Hopefully, this guy doesn't overdo it," Beerus said nonchalantly.

If Raditz really loses, it won't really have much of an impact, since Lin Chuan is still in the ring. With him there, Beerus isn't worried at all.

……

This is the viewing area of ​​Universe 5.

Arak, the God of Destruction, stroked his beard, casually watching the increasingly heated battle on the arena.

"The ability to absorb energy is not bad," Yarac said.

To him, even if Super 17 was strong, he was just a pawn; he never placed any hope in this guy.

Even before the competition started, he had instructed the contestants from his own universe not to pay attention to these three guys, and that ensuring their own survival was the most important thing.

Now that Super 17 is working hard to eliminate powerful enemies, it is more advantageous for the contestants from their home universe.

"If this continues, that Saiyan from Universe 7 is doomed to lose," Angel Kucatl seconded.

Seeing this, Darles remained silent, already understanding Super 17's intentions.

[So that's how it is. You've already planned your escape route. To this God of Destruction, we're nothing more than products that can be destroyed at any time. You absorb enough energy in this limited time, and then you can escape on your own even without F's support.] Darles guessed Super 17's intentions.

He did have this idea, but unfortunately, his potential had already been fully developed by the fruit of the evil spirit tree, and his growth in this Tournament of Power had reached its limit. He was definitely no match for the God of Destruction, Arak.

If they want to escape, they'll need Super 17's help.

As for the evil thought Bobuo... he didn't care about the monster's life or death at all. It was a product born from evil and was uncontrollable, often going berserk and attacking its opponents on its own.

So be it, he's dead.

……

At this moment, on the main battlefield of the arena.

The rivalry between Raditz and Super 17 continues to heat up, with neither side showing any weakness.

The Saiyan trait of becoming stronger when facing stronger opponents came to the fore, Raditz's strength increased, and he began to actively suppress Super 17.

Facing the dominant Raditz, Super 17 committed himself to defense, absorbing a significant amount of energy through physical contact.

Once the energy stored in his body reached a certain level, Super 17 knew that the time was ripe.

"Thank you for your energy. Now, please exit the stage." With these words, Super 17 suddenly unleashed its power.

In an instant, his counterattack came back against Raditz like a torrential downpour of pear blossoms.

The situation changed in an instant, with Super 17's fierce offensive catching Raditz completely off guard.

For the first five rounds, Raditz could barely hold his own, but in the sixth round, Super 17's Iron Fist flipped him over and sent him flying into a giant rocky mountain.

This was just the beginning. Super 17 wouldn't let Raditz off so easily. He quickly charged forward and closed in on Raditz. His unstoppable flying kick hit Raditz again, shattering the giant rock he was on and sending Raditz flying once more.

Super 17 then launched another attack, putting up a powerful offensive against Raditz.

The relentless, unstoppable onslaught targeted Raditz's Achilles' heel with every single move.

His punches and kicks were fierce and powerful, forcing Raditz to retreat steadily.

[His strength has improved quite quickly. That makes sense, considering how much energy this guy has absorbed from me. But if this is all he's got, he can't completely suppress me!] Raditz's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. The power of Super 17 excited him greatly.

"Blood Burst! Fifty times!!" Raditz increased his Blood Burst from thirty times to fifty times in one go, and his strength increased dramatically once again.

His surge in combat power allowed him to instantly reverse the situation and escape Super 17's fierce attack.

They thought they could turn the tide, but unexpectedly, Super 17's growth was far beyond what a mere fifty times the power of his blood energy burst could withstand.

The battle resumed, and after a few brief exchanges, Raditz was once again blasted away by Super 17.

After being suppressed time and again, Raditz finally felt a long-lost sense of power, and then unleashed a blood energy burst of seventy times to confront Super 17 head-on.

"Haaaaaaahhhhhh!!!" Raditz roared hoarsely, launching a destructive attack that swept over Super 17's body like a hurricane.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..." Dozens or even hundreds of devastating blows blasted Super 17 away, his artificial body covered with dense fist marks.

"Hmph... You're really something, but that's all!" Super 17 revealed a sinister smile as he felt the pain in his body.

The next second, his body swelled up, his energy surged again, and the fist imprint on his body disappeared without a trace.

"Come on, again!" Super 17 taunted.

Raditz's arrogant demeanor ignited a murderous glint in his eyes, causing his blood energy to surge eighty times as he continued his battle with Super 17.

The battle reached a fever pitch, and even with the combined use of the naked eye and senses, it was impossible to observe clearly.

Unbeknownst to them, the two remained locked in a stalemate for about a minute longer.

With his strength greatly increased, Super 17 lost his mind to play around and launched a full-force attack on Raditz's abdomen.

The terrifying power shattered Raditz's protective divine power, and the fist was deeply embedded in his abdomen, shaking his internal organs.

Raditz, who had been struck hard, spat out a mouthful of acidic water. His divine power dissipated, his blood-red aura faded, and his strength plummeted, temporarily rendering him unable to move.

"It's over! Thank you for the energy you provided. Now, please exit the stage."...
