Chapter 191 The God of Destruction Arrives, Talot and Mr. Satan watched Chi-Chi walk away, the group still somewhat bewildered.
Son Goku was even more clueless, standing there looking foolish.
With the pure heart of a child, he had never been scheming. He genuinely had no impression of this girl.
Of course, while Son Goku was like this, Krillin and Yamcha beside him were already expressing their envy, telling Son Goku that he didn't cherish such a good opportunity. She was not only beautiful but also had a great figure, a total knockout.
If he didn't seize this chance, wouldn't he be a fool? "Sigh~ Kakarot is too focused on training. Over the years, he's grown up physically, but his personality is still like a child. It must be related to the head injury he suffered as a kid," Raditz sighed.
"I don't think you need to worry about Kakarot's future. Doesn't he have a girl coming to him?" Selari scoffed.
"I don't think it's that simple. That girl must be familiar with Kakarot, and Kakarot must have promised her something. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten so angry and walked away just because Kakarot said he didn't recognize her. Also, didn't you notice? That girl's ki is much higher than any other Earthling here. It's not easy for an Earth girl to have that kind of power," Talot said intentionally or unintentionally.
But he couldn't say it directly, after all, they didn't accompany Son Goku and Bulma on their first Dragon Ball hunt back then.
...
After some conversation, time passed little by little.
With the second preliminary test, Talot and his group naturally stood out.
The contestants who advanced from the first round of preliminaries were constantly eliminated in the second round.
Until an hour later.
The preliminaries finally ended, and the list of participants for the World Martial Arts Tournament main event was out.
At this moment, the main venue was already filled with people in the audience seats.
One thing worth mentioning is that no one would have thought that this small audience stand would be gathering the gods of this universe!
Earth's Kami, Hell's Kai, even King Yemma skipped work.
There were also Old Kai, East Supreme Kai, and Kibito.
As King Kais, they could go anywhere they wanted with just a thought.
Today, the World Martial Arts Tournament held on Earth, with Talot and his group participating, they naturally wanted to come to Earth to watch the matches on a whim.
"I didn't expect the Earth's martial arts tournament to be so lively. I'm looking forward to the start of the competition," East Supreme Kai exclaimed.
Just as he was talking to himself, he didn't notice that Old Kai beside him seemed to have seen something particularly terrifying, as if his soul was about to be scared away.
"Old Kai, what's wrong?" Kibito, who was next to him, noticed that Old Kai's condition was not right and asked with concern.
"Ancestor?" East Supreme Kai heard this and noticed the abnormality.
He saw Old Kai tremblingly raise his right arm, pointing his index finger at a corner of the audience seats opposite them.
East Supreme Kai and Kibito looked in the direction Old Kai was pointing, and they were dumbfounded.
In their sight, two familiar figures appeared.
These two people were none other than Universe 6's Angel Vados and God of Destruction Champa.
Why did these two great gods from Universe 6 come to Seventh Universe again?
Angel Vados, located in the opposite audience seat, clearly noticed their gaze.
God of Destruction Champa, with a large bucket of ice cream in his arms and a pile of snacks, didn't notice anyone looking at him at all.
"The food on Earth is as special as ever, delicious, delicious~!" God of Destruction Champa didn't care about his image and ate heartily.
They came to Earth this time for the food on Earth.
After returning to Universe 6 last time, they went to the Earth of Universe 6.
After witnessing the tragic state of Universe 6's Earth, Champa almost couldn't catch his breath and was nearly angered to death.
Because their universe's Earth had an internal war, all the humans on the planet died, and it was almost about to explode.
Enraged, Champa directly destroyed his Earth at that time.
After that, in order to taste the food, he continued to search for planets with delicious food in Universe 6.
Until he found nothing some time ago, he finally made up his mind and secretly sneaked into Seventh Universe again, arriving on Earth.
Coincidentally, Earth was holding the World Martial Arts Tournament, and they also learned that Talot and the others were participating, so the two hid in the dark.
"Lord Champa, it seems we've been discovered." Angel Vados reminded him.
"Hmm? Discovered?" Champa raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and looked in the direction Vados was pointing.
The figures of Old Kai and East Supreme Kai came into view.
Seeing that those who had discovered him were the King Kais of the Seventh Universe, Champa didn't pay much attention. He had thought it was Talot and the others, or perhaps Angel Whis who had found them.
Two King Kais were nothing to worry about.
So what if they were discovered? He didn't care.
"When exactly is this tournament going to start? This God is getting impatient," Champa said, flicking his fingers, clearly annoyed.
"Just wait a little longer. They just announced that the preliminaries are over, and the official tournament will begin soon," Vados said with a smile.
"Alright." Champa was about to refocus his attention on his snacks when suddenly, a gaze caught his attention, and he looked up.
It was a little girl.
She also had a pile of snacks in her hands.
The two, a cat and a child, stared at each other, creating a rather peculiar scene.
"Big kitty, can I trade you pudding for takoyaki?" the child said, picking through her snacks for a moment before holding up the pudding.
"Pudding?" Champa was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the smooth, white pudding.
Something he had never eaten before, the temptation was not small for Champa, and he felt that this pudding must be delicious.
"Hmph! Fine, little Earth brat." Champa was quite easygoing, directly handing over the takoyaki.
This scene was actually quite unbelievable.
The dignified God of Destruction was actually exchanging snacks with a little Earth girl.
Champa not only didn't put on airs but quickly started chatting and laughing with the little girl, constantly exchanging other snacks, making him extremely happy and satisfied.
This little girl probably didn't know that the most glorious moment of her life was right now.
...
Soon, the list of the thirty-two contestants was announced.
Talot, Raditz, Selari, Son Goku, Vegeta, Nappa, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Krillin, Yamcha, Master Roshi, Piccolo, Lagar, Nail... unsurprisingly, everyone was selected.
Besides them, there were also Mr. Satan, Chi-Chi, Spopovich, Yamu, a werewolf, and some other strong passersby, including Chapa King, who had participated in the World Martial Arts Tournament in the past, not only for fame but also for the generous prize money.
In the past, only 8 contestants would make it to the finals, so it was rare to have 16.
This time, there were thirty-two contestants, which was due to the large number of participants.
The rankings were randomly shuffled, forming sixteen matches to advance to the top 16.
Talot was quite surprised because his opponent was Mr. Satan!
He wondered what the result would be for this pseudo-child of destiny, the darling of the world, who appeared later in the original story.
Raditz and Selari's opponents were Spopovich and Yamu, respectively.
During the Majin Buu era, after being controlled by the magician Babidi, their Battle Power far exceeded that of normal Martial Artists. Now, they only had a little bit of strength, with a Battle Power of only a few dozen at most.
Son Goku's opponent, unsurprisingly, was still Chi-Chi.
Fate seemed to be drawing them together, putting them back on track.
"I didn't expect that the first one I have to fight is you, Yamcha," Tien Shinhan said.
As the tournament order was announced, his opponent's information was displayed.
Whether for Tien Shinhan or Yamcha, this battle was significant for both of them.
"Tien Shinhan, if you dare to hold back when the match starts, I will never forgive you," Yamcha said to Tien Shinhan, clenching his right fist.
As warriors who trained together and protected Earth together, the two had long been in sync.
"Yeah, you too!" Tien Shinhan nodded.
Afterward, the list of matches continued to be announced, until Krillin appeared on the big screen, drawn into the same group as Chiaotzu.
This would be their rematch.
Then, Lagar and Nail each drew run-of-the-mill Earthlings who weren't particularly strong.
Finally, it was Master Roshi and Piccolo.
Vegeta and Nappa.
For Master Roshi, what was coming was inevitable.
He was only in it to earn some extra money, but now facing Piccolo, he was reminded of his past grudges with Piccolo Daimaō.
This time, it would be settled once and for all.
It could also be considered an unavoidable battle of fate.
Master Roshi was filled with emotion, while Piccolo was calm and composed.
He recalled how weak his former self was, not even worthy of being considered an ant in Master Roshi's eyes.
But now, after continuous training on Namek, his strength was far beyond what Master Roshi could match.
Back then, he desperately desired the power to defeat Master Roshi and achieve revenge.
Now, having seen a wider world and possessing this power, his goals had long changed.
He had new goals! Vegeta and Nappa, on the other hand, were quite awkward.
Although Vegeta's hatred for Nappa had long dissipated, as the Saiyan Prince, he still held a grudge against Nappa for betraying him.
Times had changed, but some things still had to be done.
Nappa was under immense pressure.
He had always felt a great deal of guilt towards Vegeta, and sometimes he didn't know how to face him, as if fate was playing tricks on him.
"Your opponent right from the start is you, Nappa. Let me see how much you've improved in these past two years." Vegeta crossed his arms, looking at Nappa with an arrogant sideways glance.
"This battle is unavoidable! Even against you, I won't back down anymore, Vegeta!" Nappa was not the Nappa of the past; this was the growth brought about by sufficient experience.
"We shall see, hmph..." Vegeta coldly smiled and walked aside.
Saying more was meaningless; let the victory or defeat be the judge.
Nappa watched Vegeta walk away, his fists slightly clenched.
He would prove himself in this battle!
...
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting! After fierce preliminary rounds, the thirty-two strongest competitors of the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament have finally been decided! Now, let us cheer together and welcome the advancing contestants of the first match..."
Accompanied by the roaring commentary of the blonde referee, Talot and Mr. Satan appeared at the entrance near the inner hall, walking shoulder to shoulder towards the ring.
Talot didn't feel anything, but Mr. Satan had a self-confident look, obviously quite confident in his strength. As long as he wasn't facing that opponent who blew up the punching machine, he felt he wouldn't lose.
As they walked, Talot's gaze happened to catch something, and after a slight pause, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.
In a certain area of the audience seats.
"Lord Champa, Talot seems to have noticed us too," Angel Vados reminded God of Destruction Champa beside her.
"This God saw him, tch! This kid is bored enough to participate in such a competition. What do those opponents amount to?" Champa said casually, while still stuffing snacks into his mouth.
What was there to see in this battle? Dealing with an ordinary person could be done with a glance or a thought, without any suspense.
Vados giggled, watching Talot walk onto the ring with rapt attention.
With her insight as an Angel, she had already sensed the surging Great Ape Power within Talot's body, as well as that profound, powerful, and incredibly stable God Power.
It seemed that since their last parting, Talot had been very serious about cultivating God Power.
Judging solely from what she could sense, this God Power was extremely powerful.
At least, compared to when he fought Champa last time, Talot's strength had increased significantly.
...
In the spectator area opposite Vados and Lord Champa.
Old Kai, East Supreme Kai, and Kibito also focused their attention on Talot.
"I didn't expect him to be the first one up. That Earthling named Mr. Satan is really unlucky," Old Kai remarked.
To encounter the strongest right from the start, did anyone need to guess the outcome?
"Indeed, this Earthling named Mr. Satan has terrible luck. If he had faced other weaker Earthlings, he might have had a chance to fight," East Supreme Kai added.
If he were up against ordinary Martial Artists, at least Mr. Satan wouldn't be eliminated so easily.
In the arena.
Talot and Mr. Satan took their positions, their eyes meeting.
Talot's expression was calm, his aura restrained, making him seem no different from an ordinary person.
Mr. Satan, who had initially planned to showcase his strengths, felt immense pressure before he could even act or speak.
Talot stood there motionless, giving him a feeling of accelerated heartbeat, as if any slight movement would cause him to fall off the stage.
"The match, begin!" the blonde referee announced.
Spurred by this, Mr. Satan gritted his teeth, ready to go all out.
He quickly approached Talot, throwing a fierce punch at Talot's face.
This would definitely be considered a powerful attack in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of beings like Talot, Mr. Satan's speed was as slow as a snail's pace.
Talot had no interest in dodging, simply allowing Mr. Satan to attack desperately, as it was neither painful nor itchy.
