"The second match is won by the seventh universe's contestant, Son Goku. The third match is about to begin." The Grand Priest announced.
The Supreme Kai of the ninth universe glanced at the other participating universes' Destroyer Gods and Supreme Kais.
He noticed an odd look in their eyes, and his heart sank as he realized they seemed to view the ninth universe as an easy target.
He turned to Bergamo, who was about to enter the arena, and said, "Bergamo, the honor of the ninth universe is in your hands. I don't want us to lose all three matches without a single victory."
"If we don't win, the other participating universes will see us as easy targets in the upcoming tournament," he added.
"You don't want us to become the target of everyone's attacks even before the official Martial Arts Tournament begins, do you?" Bergamo nodded and replied with a grim expression, "Don't worry, Supreme Kai. I will defeat our opponent."
After saying this, Bergamo leaped onto the arena and shouted at the seventh universe's spectators, "Come on, seventh universe contestants! Let's see how I defeat you!"
Beerus watched Bergamo's arrogance and huffed in disapproval, "John Doe, this guy is too cocky. I want you to teach him a lesson."
"The weakest universe is still the weakest, no matter how much they boast. It won't change their ranking."
John Doe nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Beerus. I'll go and give him a beating."
After saying this, John Doe leaped into the arena and took a fighting stance.
The Grand Priest immediately announced, "The third match begins!"
As the Grand Priest's command echoed, the fight commenced. John Doe and Bergamo, the leader of the Three Wolves, clashed in the arena.
They exchanged blows, and Bergamo aimed two fingers at John Doe's eyes. John Doe blocked the attack and countered with a sweeping leg, knocking Bergamo to the ground.
After a brief exchange, they seemed evenly matched.
Bergamo then opened his chest and smirked, "I'll give you a chance. Attack me freely, and if you can defeat me, I'll admit defeat."
Everyone in the arena was puzzled by Bergamo's behavior, unsure of his intentions.
John Doe asked, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"
Bergamo laughed coldly, "If I can't break your defense even with this, you might as well give up now."
Hearing this, even the usually calm John Doe became enraged. He shouted, "Fine, I'll show you what you're up to! I want to see your plan!"
John Doe rushed forward and attacked Bergamo, who didn't dodge or block. John Doe's punches left marks on Bergamo's body.
After testing each other, John Doe jumped back, and Bergamo let out a painful howl. John Doe's body glowed with red light, and the marks on his body also glowed. His body began to grow in size.
Bergamo clenched his fist, which turned red, indicating he had gathered a significant amount of power. He punched John Doe, who blocked it with crossed arms. The powerful impact sent John Doe flying backward.
"So, your punching power has nearly doubled. You've absorbed my attacks and converted them into your strength," John Doe realized.
"Not bad, but can you break this move? The more you attack, the stronger I become. Are you still going to attack me?" Bergamo asked.
"You think you're invincible with this technique, but you haven't noticed its flaws," John Doe replied.
"What flaws? I think you're just trying to scare me," Bergamo said.
"The first flaw is that if I don't attack you and simply push you off the arena, how will you become stronger?" John Doe said, and a blue barrier appeared around Bergamo.
Bergamo frantically attacked the barrier but couldn't break it.
John Doe then pushed the barrier, trapping Bergamo, and rolled him around the arena.
As John Doe was about to push Bergamo off the arena, he saw Zeno's expressionless face and was startled. He quickly removed the barrier and said, "Your flaw is obvious, but I won't push you off."
"Because that wouldn't showcase my true abilities."
"Your second flaw is that your power has a limit," John Doe continued.
Bergamo, who had been worried that John Doe would eliminate him, was surprised when John Doe chose to fight him head-on.
Hearing John Doe mention a limit to his power, Bergamo immediately disagreed, "I have no limits. That's just your assumption."
Seeing Bergamo's confident smile, John Doe said, "Well, I'll show you your limit."
With that, John Doe roared and transformed into a Super Saiyan. His Super Saiyan transformation was now even more powerful than Super Saiyan 3.
John Doe continued his relentless attacks on Bergamo, who silently endured them.
As Bergamo absorbed more attacks, his body grew larger, reaching a height of over ten meters.
John Doe's attacks didn't stop, and Bergamo's energy absorption reached its limit. Unable to withstand the pressure, Bergamo had to retreat and release the absorbed energy.
Seeing Bergamo's struggle, John Doe transformed from a Super Saiyan into a Super Saiyan Blue.
The blue light illuminated the entire gray arena, and all the Destroyer Gods and Supreme Kais were shocked to see John Doe covered in divine energy.
Even Zeno was left speechless by John Doe's transformation, exclaiming, "Super Saiyan Blue! What an incredible transformation!"
John Doe shouted, "Your energy absorption has reached its limit, but I haven't. Watch and see if you can withstand this attack!"
