The Strongest Legend of Dragon Ball Chapter 377-380

Bulma didn't know. In actuality, Bulma's guess was already very close to the truth. If she was a little bolder with her speculations, she would have uncovered the identities of Xiaya and the others; however, she couldn't see the bigger picture. Bulma's thought processes remained at the level of Earthlings.

"Kakarrot, where is your tail?" Myers' sharp-eyes saw that there was no tail at Goku's back.

Goku, who had gotten a little accustomed to the name Kakarrot, scratched his head and said, "Kami was worried that my tail would cause instability, so he cut it off."

As he Listened to Goku, Xiaya realized that Kami had learned the lesson from him. Currently, among the Saiyans present, only Myers still kept her tail. However, Myers' tail was hidden under her clothes, blocked by the edge of the dress, leaving it invisible from the prying eyes of others.

"Krillin, Yamcha and Chi-Chi haven't come yet?" Goku glanced around but didn't find the three of them.

Master Roshi nodded, looking a little anxious. "The deadline for registration time is about to pass, but even their shadows haven't been seen!"

The rain gradually subsided and sunlight broke through the clouds.

Goku was full of energy as he talked to Master Roshi about his life on the Lookout and then talked about his one year life with Bulma and Bardock on Mount Paozu. When he learned that Goku couldn't even last one move against Bardock, Master Roshi—the leading martial artists of the martial art world—was dumbfounded.

After a long time passed, Master Roshi reacted and continuously sighed, "It's impressive that there are such experts in the world… I've really been ignorant!"

As he thought of the hidden experts like Bardock that were on Earth, Master Roshi—who was praised as the God of martial arts—felt embarrassed.

'Hee hee, you are all still unaware that Goku is actually a Saiyan, not an earthling!' Bulma mused. However, even Goku was unaware of his true nature. Bulma had promised Bardock that she would keep it a secret for the time being.

At this time, Bulma began to feel worried. 'Oh no, if Goku is not an earthling, then it means we are not of the same species… Would there be any reproductive isolation between Saiyans and Earthlings?'

Bulma began to consider the issue of having children.

However, concerning all this, Bulma was thinking too much. Saiyans and Earthlings were a similar type of human race, so there was no strict reproductive isolation.

"Goku is a really lucky guy. His martial arts skills are so high, and Bulma is such a beautiful girlfriend. I'm envious," Oolong grumbled resentfully.

Puar laughed out loud and ridiculed, "You are still dreaming of having a girlfriend? You can forget about it in this life."

"What did you say?"

Oolong and Puar argued noisily.

"Goku, in the past three years, your martial arts must have improved a lot, right?" Master Roshi poked Goku's arm and couldn't help but ask, his tone delighted and envious. After all, being able to climb the Lookout for training was considered the greatest achievement for all martial artists!

Master Roshi did not have this qualification before.

However, his four disciples received Kami's pointers on the Lookout; a feat which was enough to make him proud.

Goku scratched his head and said with a serious tone, "Umm, under Mr. Popo and Kami's guidance, I learned a lot of things, and my strength has also increased a lot. Also, Krillin, Chi-Chi and Yamcha's strength has increased too. I haven't seen them for a year, so I don't know how their training has been like. However, I really want to compete with them!"

"What a pity, Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu are not there; otherwise, it would have been more lively," Goku sighed.

Master Roshi nodded his head in understanding, and then he looked at his watch and muttered, "There isn't much time left for registrations, but Krillin and others are yet to arrive…"

At this time, an announcement was made repeatedly through the loudspeaker by a staff member, "Only five minutes are left for registrations. Those who haven't signed up yet should immediately come over to register!"

"Ah, what to do, they are still not here, and the registration is ending soon!" The sun gradually set as Hasky's anxiety grew, and less than five minutes to the closing time, Master Roshi said to Oolong, "If it is really too late, you will have to transform into Krillin and others and go register!"

"No, I will have to rest for one minute after each transformation. It would be too late then!" Oolong's eyes widened as he exclaimed unhappily.

Oolong's transformation was just basic-level, and even he and Puar together could only register for two people.

"What do we do? Krillin and others are going to miss the tournament."

Xiaya—who stood by the side—laughed and said, "These guys… each one of them plays a protagonist's pattern!"

"Why?" Myers asked in surprise.

"A protagonist must be the last to appear, giving the supporting roles an ample opportunity to perform!"

Myers was suddenly enlightened. She poked Xiaya's arm and said with a giggle, "Then, we will also arrive late in the future…"

Suddenly, Goku revealed a smile and said in a low voice, "There is no need to go through so much trouble; they are already here!" Goku had sensed three auras approaching.

They belonged to Krillin, Yamcha, and Chi-Chi.

"Where?" Oolong asked doubtfully.

At this moment, three silhouettes quickly flashed, leaving only a faint afterimage behind. Goku's eyes were trained in front, and he saw three figures appear in the registration center of the martial arts tournament. Krillin, Yamcha, and Chi-Chi had rushed over at the last moment.

"Krillin, Yamcha, you are here!" Master Roshi and Oolong surrounded them and jubilated.

"Everyone, long time no see!" Krillin took off his hat and said with a smile.

"Bulma, Hasky," Chi-Chi greeted in a soft voice.

Everyone gasped in surprise. "Wow, even Chi-Chi has become so beautiful. She was clearly just a little child before."

"A girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood. Chi-Chi has grown even more beautiful!" Master Roshi exclaimed in admiration.

"Goku, I won't lose to you this time!" Yamcha clenched his fists and said confidently.

"To catch up with you, I didn't even dare to sleep much in the past three years! My strength is no longer the same." Yamcha had many scars on his face, and his hair had also grown a lot longer.

Goku said with a delighted expression, "Haha, don't be happy too early. I have also trained hard during this time. Let's have a good fight at the martial arts tournament tomorrow!"

"Of course!!"

At this time, Chi-Chi walked up to Xiaya and said gratefully, "Mr. Xiaya, I'm grateful for your assistance in the Demon Realm a year ago, or I wouldn't have been able to come back."

"It was nothing," Xiaya smiled and calmly said.

They talked cheerfully while finishing their registrations and then arranged for a hotel to stay overnight. As the registration deadline was already nearing the evening, the qualification trials for martial arts tournament was scheduled for the next day.

At night, there was a heavy rainstorm. The violent storms were accompanied, from time to time, by lightning flashes and rolling thunder, and the pedestrians on the street were rushing about for shelter.

Goku and the others arranged a good hotel and were making their final preparations in their respective rooms.

Bulma acted very boldly and lived in the same room with Goku. Seeing this, Master Roshi was very envious in his heart as his remaining teeth made grinding sounds.

Outside the room, thunder erupted and the downpour continued, making "pitter-patter" sounds when hitting the glass.

"Kakarrot's Battle Power has reached 1600. Bardock's training was really effective!" On the bed, Xiling said as she lay in Xiaya's arms; Her beautiful golden hair messily spread out on the pillow.

Xiaya smiled and said, "He is, after all, a future Super Saiyan. The accumulation in these early stages has been sufficient. Bardock's training only unsealed some of his potentials."

Xiaya had once informed them of what happened in the Golden Flame world. For them, it was just like they were prophets who were aware of future events.

In actuality, if necessary, a Supreme Kai could also perceive the future while possessing the Time Ring.

"However, even till now, I can't see how Kakarrot will possibly become a Super Saiyan." Myers flipped over, and the upper part of her naked body pressed down on Xiaya's chest; her soft and smooth skin was slightly cold. Her restless hands were stroking Xiaya's body playfully.

Among female Saiyans, both Xiling and Myers belonged to the graceful and petite type. Xiling's height was about the same as an ordinary earthling, while Myers was shorter than Xiling.

"Who knows… Maybe it's because he still has the heart of an innocent newborn."

However, Xiaya did not say a word: instead, he mused, 'Maybe he still has a protagonist's halo…'

"Why are you talking about Kakarrot? It's time to do our thing." Xiaya chuckled and embraced the soft, boneless and delicate bodies of both women. He turned over and first pressed Myers underneath him.

They had been married for several years, but even until now, they had no children; this was because they were not working hard enough.

The night suddenly became extremely quiet.

With a rumbling sound, lightning streaked across the sky and hit the clock tower of a tall building. Stones and metal parts of the clock fell from the sky and smashed towards the pedestrians on the street.

Bang! 

The shattered stones fell, but the moment it was about to hit the pedestrians, it was destroyed by an energy wave, saving the people below. A green-skinned demonic man wearing a white cloak appeared.

"Idiots!" The green-skinned demonic man coldly snorted and turned around to leave with an indifferent expression.

From his aura, Piccolo was now like that of a pure demon! A little guidance might help him to give up evil and turn to good.

The next day, early in the morning, the sun was shining brightly.

All the contestants participating in the World Martial Arts Tournament arrived at the Martial Arts Temple.

Goku and his colleagues put on the martial arts suit of Turtle School and entered the competition hall. The top eight experts of the tournament would be selected via the ring form. Two contestants would be selected from each of the four areas. Of course, luck would also play a large part in it.

"Haha, the martial arts suit of our Turtle School suits me better. I was afraid that Master Roshi wouldn't prepare it for us, so I had someone make a customized one for me," Krillin put on the orange-red martial suit emblazoned with the logo of the Turtle School and said smugly.

"I thought so too!" Yamcha's flexed his wrists, preparing for the tournament. His eyes were brimming with confidence.

After several years of hard work, Krillin, Yamcha, and Chi-Chi's strength had made great progress. Even if they were not as powerful as Goku, they were elites and already had their martial arts accomplishments. They no longer sought after victory or defeat.

"Wow, Chi-Chi looks even more beautiful after putting on the cheongsam," Krillin grinned and said, causing Yamcha to also compliment.

At this time, Chi-Chi had put on a modified version of her cheongsam, specially made for the tournament. The white cheongsam with bamboo drawn on it made her figure even more outstanding.

Chi-Chi stared coldly at them and began to warm up, minding her own business.

Yamcha smiled and said, "Chi-Chi is now a key figure whom Kami is paying attention to and has more prospects than us."

"Yeah, yeah!" Krillin responded jokingly.

Chi-Chi stamped her foot and said, "You two, believe it or not, I will knock you out in the preliminaries." Chi-Chi had learned a little divine magic from Kami which could be used to do little things like manipulating the drawing of lots.

"Please no, we were wrong."

Krillin and Yamcha immediately admitted their mistakes, and inwardly thought, 'You really can't offend women!' If Krillin and Yamcha fail to pass even the preliminaries, they would feel ashamed towards the training they had done for the past few years.

At this time, chewing sounds that came from the corner of the competition's martial arts hall attracted their attention. It was a fat boy in a coarse coat. His hair was messy, but Krillin and others sensed a powerful aura emanating from him.

"Who is that boy? Such a powerful Ki…" Yamcha's expression turned serious.

Goku turned around and calmly said, "His Ki is no worse than King Piccolo from three years ago!"

"Really?" Everyone was frightened as they seriously sensed his aura. Indeed, the fat boy was exceptional, but their current strength, they were confident that could also deal with him calmly.

Suddenly, an icy gaze was cast at them. Goku's sharp senses felt it and his eyes passed through the dense crowd and gazed at a strange man wearing a cloak in the corner of the Martial Arts Temple.

The strange man was also staring at Goku coldly, and then he coldly snorted and turned around.

"Such a cold expression… he looks very powerful. However, it seems like I've seen him somewhere. Goku, do you recognize him?" Krillin had a grave expression as he asked. He had sensed the frightening pressure emitted by that person, and he felt his whole body tightening.

"Well, this guy is very powerful, but he is not a good person! No matter who meets him in the tournament, immediately admit defeat; otherwise, it will be difficult to protect your life!" Goku said with a serious tone.

Goku didn't recognize Piccolo's identity, but Piccolo's icy and powerful aura made him realize that he had run into his match. Krillin and the others were no match for Goku.

Goku was a little excited as he continued, "But he is a powerful guy. I want to fight him as soon as possible."

"Are you kidding? Our strength has also improved a lot. Is that guy so strong?" Krillin asked in disbelief. 'Our strength is greater than Kami's, but there is still someone on Earth who is more powerful than us?'

Goku nodded and seriously warned, "That guy is very strong. He is even many times stronger than King Piccolo! Anyway, be careful."

"That guy is a demon… He is the new King Piccolo," Chichi suddenly said.

"King Piccolo… He is still alive?!" Krillin and the others revealed a surprised expression, and even Goku was startled.

Chi-Chi nodded and said, "This is what Kami told me."

Krillin breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Chi-Chi, "It seems that Kami wants to train you into the new Kami."

Regarding the inheritance of Kami's position, Krillin and Yamcha didn't have any interest.

In their eyes, Goku—who was pure like a blank sheet of paper—and Chi-Chi were the best candidates for Kami's position. However, between the two, Goku couldn't stand the loneliness, so only Chi-Chi could be Kami's candidate.

Moreover, Chi-Chi's current strength was also somewhat unfathomable. She learned a lot of magic secret arts from Kami, and she had many unique moves that were unpredictable.

"Damn it! After training hard for three years, I wanted to put up a good performance, but a strong opponent like 'King Piccolo' has suddenly appeared. It seems that I can only have Goku deal with that guy."

Although their strength had improved a lot after training for three years, granting them a potent strength which was much more powerful than that of the previous King Piccolo, they still had no chance of gaining victory against the current King Piccolo. Yamcha swallowed his saliva as he clenched his fists tightly; his face was full of unwillingness.

Yamcha still had the self-awareness that he was no match for the current Piccolo.

Goku nodded seriously. The passion in his blood seemed to be surging as his eyes sparkled with excitement. "Leave King Piccolo to me. I'll fight well!"

"All contestants, I have kept you waiting long enough. The qualifiers are going to begin immediately. Everyone, please gather at the center!" A staff member's voice was broadcast over the loudspeaker.

All the contestants gathered over. After the host introduced the rules of the tournament, they began to draw lots. Goku and the others were lucky not to be drawn in the same bracket.

On the stage, Goku met his old rival King Chappa.

"Hehe, Goku, after three years of hard work, I am now going to take revenge for the past humiliation!"

However, King Chappa's current strength was already not at the same level as Goku's. Goku indifferently looked at his opponent and stood straight on the stage without assuming any defense.

In the end, King Chappa didn't even know how Goku attacked. He was knocked down by Goku with just one karate chop.

The referee was astonished and it took a long time before he reacted and announced, "Contestant Goku wins!"

"Well, Goku has also gotten so strong, but this is also interesting! Goku, I am going to defeat you in front of everyone!" Piccolo revealed a cold smile, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In another arena, the match was still going on.

At this time, Chi-Chi had already gone on the stage, and she was focused on fighting her opponent. She was quick, and her attacks were rapid and accurate. She defeated her opponent very easily.

"Chi-Chi's martial arts are much more powerful than ours!" Krillin had his arms folded around his chest as he watched the battle on the arena, his elbow pressing against Yamcha's arm.

Yamcha speechlessly rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "Even Chi-Chi is more powerful than me. I think it's better to give up on the idea of surpassing Goku as early as possible."

Krillin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I won't give up."

The matches in each venue were in full swing. The morning passed, and the winners entered the quarterfinals.

The top eight were: Goku, Piccolo, Krillin, Yamcha, Chi-Chi, Shen (Old Kami), Yajirobe, and Cyborg Tao.

"The morning preliminary matches are over. The quarter-final matches will be held on the outdoor arena in the afternoon. Next, everyone would have to come and draw lots!" The host took out the box for drawing lots.

"Chi-Chi, can you divide us into a different match order?" Yamcha leaned towards her face and asked in a low voice.

"OK." Chi-Chi agreed and manipulated the paper slips in the cardboard box.

The match order:

The first match, Krillin vs Ma Jr. (Piccolo).

The second match, Yamcha vs Shen(Old Kami).

The third match, Chi-Chi vs Yajirobe.

The fourth match, Goku vs Cyborg Tao.

After the qualifiers finished, Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, and Chi-Chi walked out of the hall and joined up with Master Roshi and others. After a good meal, Master Roshi and others pushed and squeezed to the front of the tournament's stands, waving their hands to cheer everyone!

Because of the strong support of Central City, from here on, the martial arts tournament would be broadcast live to the entire world.

Xiaya and Xiling used their qi field to clear an open area. Bulma stroked her light purple hair and giggled before following them in.

"Xiaya, I wanted to ask early on… Are you also a Saiyan?"

Xiaya looked straight at Bulma and said, "You guess!"

Bulma's face turned black, and she furiously stamped her foot.

On the stage, the first match of the World Martial Arts Tournament's quarter-finals was already nearing the end. Piccolo was fighting against Krillin.

Krillin was very strong, but his opponent, Piccolo, was even more powerful. Piccolo occupied the upper hand with an overwhelming advantage. In the end, Krillin used his signature move— Destructo Disc, but still failed to turn things around; thus, he could only helplessly admit defeat.

"The first match, Contestant Ma Jr. (Piccolo) wins!"

The blonde host continued to announce, "The next match, Contestant Yamcha will fight against Contestant Shen (old Kami)!"

As the host announced in a loud voice, Yamcha confidently jumped on the martial arts stage. Since he didn't come across Goku and Chi-Chi, Yamcha felt lucky. He knew that he had a 90% chance of winning this match.

"Come on, Master Yamcha!" Puar shouted from the audience seats.

Oolong, Hasky, and others were also cheering for him.

The final result was as expected. Although his opponent was Kami's disguised character, Yamcha's current strength had already surpassed Kami, and it was only natural to gain victory.

"Hmph, that guy named Yamcha is also Goku's fellow apprentice? His next opponent is me. I hope he can properly entertain me!" Piccolo sneered while standing on the roof of the Martial Arts Temple and swept his eyes around with an indifferent expression.

At that moment, Piccolo's eyes swept towards Xiaya and the others in the stands, towards Xiling and Myers precisely.

When Piccolo saw the two girls, his green-colored face suddenly trembled, and his whole body stiffened as raging waves swirled in his heart.

"It's them! Why are these two also here?"

Following Xiling and Myers' appearance, Piccolo felt complicated emotions in his heart, and the unforgettable memories of one year ago came forth. He would never forget these two proudful, godlike figures.

After the initial shock which felt like a frost attack, Piccolo's heart thumped and his countenance turned ugly. However, Piccolo quickly adjusted his mood to make himself as calm as possible.

At this point, Piccolo felt that winning or losing against Goku was not of much importance. If the two people took action to obstruct him, then it would be almost impossible for his plan to succeed.

After reconsidering further, Piccolo's expression turned gloomy, and he bit his teeth, roaring inwardly, 'Damn it! What's going on with this world? One after another, strong experts keep springing out. How can I, King Piccolo, be scared? Sooner or later, I will surpass them!'

Xiaya noticed Piccolo on the roof of the Martial Arts Temple, smiled and said to Xiling and Myers, "Look at Piccolo… his expression changed when he saw us."

Xiling said seriously, "He must have recognized me and Myers."

"I think he must be wondering why everything seems to be alright between me and Xiling; after all, weren't we fighting each other previously?" Myers said with a grin. She and Xiling appeared in front of Piccolo one year ago and put up a good performance as if they were mortal enemies, but now, they were getting along with each other.

After listening to the conversation between Goku, Xiling, and Myers, Bulma asked curiously, "Did you mention King Piccolo just now? Is that strange green-skinned person King Piccolo?"

"Yes, it's King Piccolo."

Bulma said with astonishment, "It's really King Piccolo!" However, Bulma was just surprised and not the slightest bit scared.

"King Piccolo is not dead; are you not afraid?" Xiaya asked Bulma.

"Why would I be afraid? Goku will definitely defeat him again," Bulma said as if it was a matter of course. "Goku could defeat King Piccolo three years ago, and now, he has become even more powerful. Wouldn't it be easy to defeat King Piccolo?"

Xiaya was left speechless at Bulma's blind faith, and then he felt relieved right after. Bulma's trust in Goku was based on mutual understanding.

"The relationship between you two is really good."

"Of course." Bulma raised her head high as if it was natural.

On the arena, the battle between Yamcha and the old Kami quickly came to an end, with Yamcha winning without any difficulty.

"The third match, Contestant Chi-Chi will fight against Contestant Yajirobe. I invite the two contestants to mount the martial arts arena."

Following the announcement, Chi-Chi jumped on the martial arts arena. On the opposite side, Yajirobe stood lazily. Due to the rule of the martial arts tournament which forbade the use of weapons, Yajirobe—who was best skilled in using a katana—could not use his weapon.

"Chi-Chi, Come on!" In the audience seats, Bulma shouted.

Krillin calmly said to Yamcha, "That Yajirobe is quite powerful, but he is much weaker than Chi-Chi."

"Yes, the Ki disparity between the two is big. Moreover, you can see that he is not good at boxing techniques…" As he watched Yajirobe and Chichi trading blows, Yamcha suddenly said.

Krillin also had the same thoughts. "One can discern that Yajirobe's use of boxing arts is very rough. This isn't the air of someone at his level of expertise. Look at his clenched fist and posture when punching. What he should really be good at is wielding swords."

With martial arts at Krillin's level, although he hadn't learned swordsmanship, he still had a little ability to discern.

On the arena, Chi-Chi's breathing remained calm as her bright eyes stared at Yajirobe. "This match limits your full potential, but even if you use your full strength, you still won't be my opponent."

Yajirobe suddenly grinned and burst into laughter, causing the fatty flesh on his body to shake. "Immortal Korin also told me this, but I still want to see how you are going to defeat me."

After saying that, Yajirobe spread open his legs and stood like a stake with his hands placed at his chest. Suddenly, an awe-inspiring and domineering aura erupted from Yajirobe's body.

"Swordsman!" Chi-Chi was startled as she blurted. Only a swordsman could have such a powerful and domineering Ki.

At that moment, Chi-Chi instantly reacted, and her delicate body flickered. She rapidly opened up a distance between herself and Yajirobe, and her whole body entered a battle state.

"Chi-Chi is getting serious," Xiaya smiled and said.

Nevertheless, the current Yajirobe had gone beyond Xiaya's expectations. In the original work, Yajirobe was a lazy guy without any motivation. Although he could assist at critical moments, he was, basically, not useful during normal times. Now, however, he was equipped with a powerful and domineering aura and a strong will. He was a genuine swordsman!

"It is also interesting this way. A genius in the original work who was buried. I wonder what heights he would reach in the future!" Xiaya was a little expectant about Yajirobe.

"I am going to attack," After speaking, Chi-Chi's hands slowly adopted a pose, and her heart entered a state of calm like still water. If she was not in view, it would have been easy for people to forget her existence.

"Heart calm like still water!"

"Tranquility yields transcendence!"

Standing on the side, old Kami could not help but cry out in alarm. In Chi-Chi's current state, she seemed like she would stop breathing at any moment. A calm and peaceful atmosphere permeated the arena.

This was a magical atmosphere!

'It seems that choosing Chi-Chi as my successor was not a wrong choice!' Old Kami thought as he sighed in relief. Chi-Chi's state of mind was as clean as a blank sheet of paper, and now, she had attained a high profoundness. She was the perfect candidate to be Kami's successor.

At this moment, between Chi-Chi and Goku, old Kami was already inclined towards selecting Chi-Chi as his successor.

In the martial arts arena, the battle between Chi-Chi and Yajirobe was still ongoing. Following the emergence of the majestic and incomparable strength, the raging and strong whirlwind—one as ferocious as wolves and tigers—made creaking sounds.

Chi-Chi and Yajirobe were very fast. In a short amount of time, the arena was filled with their afterimages as they battled.

Krakk! 

The solid marble slabs shattered, and several small stones shot out under the pressure of the enormous power and accelerated to max speeds, streaking through the sky.

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

Suddenly, the air trembled, and then, the deafening sound of shattered air reverberated.

Thump!

Like a huge invisible palm slapping the air, the audience felt the change of the surrounding atmospheric pressure. The delightful battle brought them a carefree and uninhibited feeling.

Yajirobe's Battle Power was, after all, inferior to Chi-Chi's, and the rules of the match limited his strength. Thus, after a while, Yajirobe gradually retreated to the corner of the arena while panting. In contrast, Chi-Chi's aura was still serene, as if she hadn't gone through any strenuous movements.

It could easily be judged who the stronger party was between the two.

"I lost!" Yajirobe frankly admitted defeat and jumped off the arena.

"Ha?"

This result left everyone feeling astonished, their faces looking lost. However, they quickly gave both sides warm applause, and the cameras around the venue also recorded the battle and broadcasted it to TV screens all over the world.

"That fat man is quite powerful. If he can lose a little weight, perhaps he may win next time." The people without much understanding made their judgments based on Yajirobe's appearance; they thought that Yajirobe lost because he was too fat.

However, there were many people before the TV screens who were experienced. At this time, their faces were concentrating as they continuously commented, "That Chi-Chi is a true expert. Look, the entire match has come to an end, but her breathing is not in disorder."

"Oh, it's true!"

"Contestant Chi-Chi seems to be the disciple of Master Roshi, ​​the god of martial arts. She had a good performance in the last two tournaments. No wonder she can be so powerful."

At the competition venue, Goku and the others congratulated Chi-Chi for obtaining victory. Old Kami looked on with relief and mused, 'These kids have already surpassed me. They are the future of Earth.'

Then, old Kami glanced at Xiaya and the others in the audience and slightly nodded. Xiaya also gave him a smile in response, nodding in tacit understanding.

"The fourth match of the quarterfinals, Contestant Goku vs. Contestant Cyborg Tao! Contestant Goku was the runner-up of the last two tournaments, and he is also the hero who defeated King Piccolo to save the world. Please, look forward to his performance!"

The blonde host had long been instructed by Central City's government to not miss the opportunity to expose Goku's identity. The audience immediately became enthusiastic.

"Goku!"

"Goku!"

Unlike the original work, King Piccolo's battle with Goku took place in West City, and it was broadcast live all around the world. Thus, almost everyone knew that the hero who saved Earth was called Goku. Moreover, Central City intended to expand Earth's martial arts facilities, so they were vigorously supporting it.

Currently, It could be said that the most famous person in the whole world was Goku, just like Satan after the Cell Games in the original work.

"Goku, I will personally return this humiliation!" Cyborg Tao's face was gloomy as his body emitted a chilly aura.

Goku frowned and said, "You are Mercenary Tao? To think that you haven't died yet!" Goku spoke rudely as he didn't like the dark and bloody aura emanating from Mercenary Tao.

"Goku, defeat him immediately!" Bulma waved her arms, and then she placed both hands to the side of her mouth, in the form of a horn, and shouted.

To Bulma, Goku responded with a smile and grimly looked at the Cyborg Tao. "I won't show mercy this time."

Goku's indifference left Mercenary Tao seething with rage, and as the host announced the start of the match, Goku occupied the upper hand with overwhelming superiority. Then, Mercenary Tao suddenly showed his mechanical weapons, thereby invoking Goku's wrath. Mercenary Tao's shameless behavior completely tarnished the dignity of a martial artist, so Goku directly knocked him out with a punch.

After throwing Mercenary Tao outside the venue, Goku said, "You are not qualified to be called a martial artist!"

"Despicable and shameless guy, quickly get lost!"

"Get lost!"

The audience became angry, especially as Mercenary Tao's retracting blade's target was Goku—the hero who saved the world.

"The use of weapons by Contestant Mercenary Tao is in direct violation of the rules of the tournament. Contestant Goku wins the match!" The host announced the results in a loud voice, and then he said to the enthusiastic and expectant audience, "The semi-final matches will be held next from the previous martial arts tournament quarter-finals. Contestant Yamcha, one of the quarter-finalists of the previous martial arts tournament vs. Contestant Ma Jr. (Piccolo) who swept through all opponents in the preliminaries. I invite both contestants to mount the martial arts arena!"

"It's my turn to fight!" Yamcha fastened his belt tightly and prepared to mount the martial arts arena.

Goku looked at Yamcha solemnly and said, "Be careful, he is King Piccolo. If you can't take it, you can admit defeat. "

Goku could tell that the disparity in strength between Yamcha and Piccolo was too large. If Piccolo didn't comply with the rules of the competition, Yamcha would be in mortal danger, so Goku was prepared to intervene at any moment.

"Don't worry, I know my limits!" Yamcha gave a thumbs-up as he glanced at Piccolo and then jumped on the arena. Instantly, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience.

"Hehe, this person is Goku's fellow apprentice; however, I can't kill him because of the damn rules of this competition!" Piccolo smiled coldly, his two devil-like teeth shining brightly.

The match continued. Like in the original work, although Yamcha had gone through three years of arduous training, the disparity between him and Piccolo was still too big. Piccolo was worried about the rules of the competition, so he did not deal a deadly blow. In the end, Yamcha was defeated after using various unique skills.

Next was the second match of the semi-finals, Goku vs. Chi-Chi.

The husband-and-wife battle of the original work became a battle between fellow apprentices. After probing Chi-Chi's strength, Goku—who enjoyed widespread support—obtained victory.

The finals of the competition was the battle between Goku and Piccolo.

Just like a game where one can upgrade after beating monsters, the two kinds of armies—after passing through numerous obstacles—met in the finals.

"Next is the finals of the tournament. I invite Contestant Goku and Contestant Ma Jr. to come forth," The host announced with an enthusiastic expression. Immediately, intense cheers erupted from the audience. Besides the audience at the venue, people all around the world who were paying close attention to the tournament also cheered enthusiastically.

"Goku, you must win!" Krillin shouted.

"Goku, come on!" Bulma's hands were placed at the sides of her mouth in a horn-shape.

Goku gave a bright smile to everyone and walked onto the arena, standing face-to-face with Piccolo.

"Humph!" After snorting Indifferently, Piccolo showed a sinister smile and said with an icy tone, "Goku, to tell you the truth, I am different from three years ago. This time, I must have your life, and then, I'll announce my, King Piccolo's, return to the world!"

"Piccolo, we will only know who wins and who loses after fighting, so don't spout too much nonsense!" Goku looked serious as he rebutted.

Piccolo's lips curled, and his gloomy face emitted a chill. Then, both sides ceased spouting unnecessary words and created a distance between themselves, facing each other from a distance. They didn't dare to act rashly.

In the martial arts arena, the atmosphere suddenly became very stifling!

Suddenly, two powerful auras erupted with great momentum. It seemed as if the entire venue was covered by the huge lid of a pot. The scene suddenly became quiet, creating a tense and soul-stirring feeling of oppression.

Krillin gulped. His throat was somewhat dry as he said to Yamcha nervously, "These two are too powerful; even their auras causes me to start trembling!"

Yamcha agreed with a nod while keeping his eyes fixed on the two people in the martial arts arena.

Chi-Chi's bright and beautiful eyes sized up the two men, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart.

Whoosh! 

Goku and Piccolo disappeared almost at the same time, and then the sounds of fierce fighting continuously echoed out, causing the rocks on the to split open. This was already a high-level battle. The eyes of Krillin and the others kept moving around, but they could only capture Goku and Piccolo's afterimages.

If even Krillin and others were like this, then the audience below the arena was even worse.

They stared blankly at the fight, not knowing what was happening.

"So powerful!" The host took a deep breath and no longer looked at what was happening in the arena. He immediately shouted to the camera operator, "Hurry and record it. These photos are an important material for the future of the martial arts tournament. Central City will also collect the records in an exhibition hall for broadcasting."

"It turns out that this is Goku's real strength. I wonder what happened in the last year. Why did Goku and Piccolo suddenly become so powerful?" Old Kami looked at them in shock.

A year ago, he was still able to faintly discern Goku and Piccolo's strength, but now, he couldn't even perceive their battle.

Hualala! 

Piccolo and Goku used their full-strength on the arena, and various odd moves came out one after another.

At this moment, time seemed to have lost its effect on their bodies. They frequently fought dozens of times in a second.

Boom! 

The sounds of each clash and the air splitting alternately echoed out, like a rhythmic musical performance. From time to time, dazzling lights flashed on ground and sky, and faintly discernible fists weaved together like a gorgeous visual feast, continuously shocking the hearts of the audience.

"This… is simply incredible. The strength of these two contestants is simply beyond everyone's imagination. Is this really something humans can do?" The host looked at the scenes captured in slow motion and couldn't help but be shocked by the magnificent battle.

"Is that blue ray of light an energy wave?" Some of the spectators asked.

"Yes, there were such moves in the information published by Central City. Oh, by the way, the moves previously used by Mr. Krillin, Mr. Yamcha and Miss Chi-Chi were all energy waves…"

"Did you realize that Mr. Goku and the others' battle was like the battle style in Miss Tights' book—Chronicles of the Galaxy?"

"What is this 'Chronicles of the Galaxy'?"

"Wow, that's really true. The previous contestants seemed to be very powerful, but they are all described like this in the 'Martial Immortal's Biography'. Now, it seems to have suddenly become like legends."
