A little later, Mr. Satan arrived at the World Martial Arts Tournament venue.
As soon as Mr. Satan appeared, he attracted the attention of a large number of spectators and reporters.
"It's Mr. Satan, the hero who saved our Earth!"
"Mr. Satan!"
"Satan! Satan!"
The crowd shouted towards Mr. Satan.
"Hello everyone!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Satan immediately raised his arms and shouted.
"Dad, he's really something!"
Videl was speechless.
Just then, a large number of reporters rushed in front of Mr. Satan to interview him.
"Mr. Satan, do you have confidence in this tournament?"
A gentle-looking female reporter asked.
"Of course!"
"Is there anything you'd like to say to the viewers watching at home?"
On the competition stage.
Son Goten, growing impatient from waiting, urged Mr. Satan from the crowd below.
"Mister, can you hurry up?"
Hearing Son Goten's urging, Mr. Satan's body immediately jolted in fright.
"Coming right up, coming right up!"
As Mr. Satan spoke, he turned to the reporter beside him.
"We'll end the interview here for now. We'll continue after my match!"
"Certainly, Mr. Satan! We'll be sure to capture your handsome performance during the match!"
"Hand... handsome performance!"
Mr. Satan was taken aback. He'd be lucky if he wasn't beaten into a pulp by Son Goten, let alone look handsome.
At this moment, the referee standing on the stage also grew impatient.
"Mr. Satan, may I ask if you're ready to compete?"
"Oh, okay!"
As Mr. Satan spoke, he walked towards the competition stage with extremely heavy steps.
"Goku, let's go. We already know the outcome without even watching!"
Krillin said, watching Mr. Satan slowly walk towards the stage.
"Mmm!"
Son Goku nodded.
Videl, standing beside Gohan, was surprised.
"Aren't you guys going to watch this match? It's between the world champion Mr. Satan and Son Goten! This could be a very exciting battle!"
Krillin waved his hand.
"If I have that much free time, I'd rather find a place to take a nap!"
Videl immediately looked at Gohan beside her.
Gohan let out an awkward laugh, wishing he could punch Krillin hard.
Just then, Mr. Satan finally stepped onto the competition stage.
"Now that Mr. Satan has taken the stage, the match..."
"Wait!"
Before the referee could finish speaking, Mr. Satan suddenly spoke.
"What is it, Mr. Satan?"
The referee looked confused.
"Cough, cough!"
Mr. Satan cleared his throat.
"Before the match, I'd like to say a few words to that child, so he doesn't feel any pressure!"
"Oh, alright, but make it quick, the audience has been waiting for a long time!"
Mr. Satan nodded and quickly walked up to Son Goten, saying:
"Little kid, the match later is just for fun, so just play around. Don't take it too seriously!"
Son Goten smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, Mr. Satan walked back to the referee and said:
"You can announce the start of the match!"
The referee nodded.
"I now announce that the match between contestant Son Goten and Mr. Satan has officially begun!"
"Satan! Satan!"
The audience below immediately cheered.
Mr. Satan saw this and immediately ran in front of Son Goten, pressing his face against the boy's and saying:
"Kid, uncle will let you punch me, but you have to hit me lightly!"
"Okay, Uncle!"
Son Goten said with a smile.
This was the first time in his life he had ever heard such a request.
BANG!
As Son Goten spoke, he threw a punch that landed squarely on Mr. Satan's face.
Mr. Satan's face immediately contorted, and his body flew like the wind, crashing heavily into the wall of a nearby building.
Silence fell over the arena.
Videl's jaw dropped when she saw this.
Her "proud" father had been instantly defeated by Son Goten with just one punch.
Below the stage.
Mr. Satan, his head still throbbing from hitting the wall, felt a splitting headache.
This kid, I told him to hit me lightly, but he still hit me so hard!
Mr. Satan grumbled in his heart about Son Goten.
Despite the pain, he put on a show of being completely fine for everyone to see.
Just then, one of Mr. Satan's most fervent fans seemed to have an epiphany and shouted:
"I get it now, Mr. Satan! He definitely lost on purpose to encourage the kid!"
The surrounding audience agreed with his assessment.
"I knew it! How could the world champion Mr. Satan possibly lose to a child!"
As the crowd's opinion shifted, everyone was moved by Mr. Satan's actions.
Only Son Goten and his group felt speechless.
They had to admit, their imaginations were truly something else.
"Mr. Satan is out of the ring! Contestant Son Goten wins! Congratulations to Son Goten for successfully challenging Mr. Satan!"
Hearing this, Son Goten immediately jumped off the stage and went to Trunks' side.
"Trunks!"
Trunks nodded.
"Goten, you won the championship this time, so you have to treat us!"
"Okay!"
Son Goten nodded.
"Shall we go watch Gohan and the others fight now?"
Trunks nodded again.
"That's wonderful! Goten won the championship!"
In the audience stands.
Chi-Chi was excitedly telling Bulma.
Ten million might not be much to Bulma's family, but it was a fortune to Son Goku's family.
Bulma nodded calmly.
"With this ten million prize money, I can hire a tutor for Goten, even three or four at once. Now, let's see what Goku and the others can do!"
World Martial Arts Tournament contestant resting area.
After watching Son Goten and his group's match, Son Goku, feeling a bit hungry, pulled Gohan and his group to the resting area to grab something to eat.
Upon arriving at the resting area, Son Goku saw Vegeta devouring food.
"Vegeta!"
Son Goku greeted Vegeta with a smile.
Vegeta ignored him and continued eating his food.
Seeing this, Son Goku told a staff member he wanted to eat, then sat down next to Vegeta and started eating with him.
Gohan, seeing this, brought Videl over and sat down.
However, they didn't rush to eat the food on the table, but waited for the staff to bring their own meals before starting.
"This is delicious, Dad!"
"The food at the tournament has always been good!"
"Always?"
Munch munch munch...
Just as Gohan was wondering, Son Goku took the food in front of Gohan and ate it.
"Dad, that's my food!"
"Well, you weren't eating it, so I thought you didn't like it!"
Krillin couldn't help but laugh watching Son Goku and the others eat.
In the past, when he ate with Son Goku, Son Goku would "steal" his food just like today.
