After a while, Mr. Satan arrived at the martial arts tournament venue.
The moment Mr. Satan appeared, he drew 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 spectators shouted toward Mr. Satan.
"Hello, everyone!"
Hearing them, Mr. Satan immediately raised an arm and shouted.
"Dad, honestly!"
Videl was utterly speechless.
Just then, a large number of reporters rushed up to Mr. Satan and began interviewing him.
"Mr. Satan, are you confident about this match?"
A gentle-looking female reporter asked.
"Of course!"
"Is there anything you would like to say to the viewers in front of their televisions?"
On the competition stage.
Growing somewhat impatient from waiting, Son Goten urged Mr. Satan below the stage.
"Mister, can you hurry up?"
Hearing Son Goten hurry him along, Mr. Satan's body jolted in fright.
"I'll be ready right away, right away!"
As he spoke, Mr. Satan turned to the reporter beside him.
"Let's stop the interview here for now. We can continue after my match!"
"Certainly, Mr. Satan. We'll make sure to capture your dashing appearance during the match!"
"D-Dashing appearance!"
Mr. Satan froze. He would be lucky if Son Goten did not beat him into a pig's head, and they were talking about a dashing appearance?
At that moment, the referee standing on the stage also grew somewhat impatient.
"Mr. Satan, may we begin the match now?"
"Oh, sure!"
As he spoke, Mr. Satan trudged toward the competition stage with extremely heavy steps.
"Goku, let's go. There's no need to watch; we already know how this match will end!"
Krillin said as he watched Mr. Satan slowly make his way toward the stage.
"Yeah!"
Son Goku nodded.
Videl, who stood beside Gohan, froze when she heard that.
"You aren't going to watch this match? This is a match between world champion Mr. Satan and Son Goten. It might turn out to be a very exciting battle!"
Krillin waved a hand.
"Instead of wasting time on that, I'd rather find somewhere to take a nap!"
Hearing this, Videl immediately looked toward Gohan beside her.
Gohan gave a dry laugh. Deep down, he wanted nothing more than to give Krillin a good beating.
Just then, Mr. Satan finally stepped onto the competition stage.
"Since Mr. Satan has taken the stage, then the match—"
"Wait!"
Before the referee could finish, Mr. Satan suddenly spoke up.
"What is it, Mr. Satan?"
The referee looked puzzled.
"Ahem!"
Mr. Satan cleared his throat.
"Before the match, I'd like to say a few words to that child, so he won't feel any mental pressure!"
"Oh, all right, but please be quick. The audience has been waiting for a long time!"
Mr. Satan nodded and quickly walked up to Son Goten.
"Hey, kid, the match later is just for fun. You can hit me however you like, but don't take it too seriously!"
Son Goten smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, Mr. Satan returned to the referee.
"You may announce the start of the match now!"
The referee nodded.
"Then I hereby announce that the match between contestant Son Goten and Mr. Satan officially begins now!"
"Satan! Satan!"
The spectators below the stage immediately began cheering.
Seeing this, Mr. Satan immediately ran up to Son Goten, pressed his face against Son Goten's chest, and said.
"Kid, uncle will let you throw one punch, but you have to hit lightly!"
"Okay, mister!"
Son Goten said with a smile.
This was the first time in his life he had seen someone make such a request.
Bang!
As soon as Son Goten finished speaking, his right fist struck Mr. Satan in the face.
Mr. Satan's face immediately warped from the blow, and his body flew like the wind before crashing heavily into the wall of the building behind him.
The entire venue instantly fell silent.
Videl was even more dumbfounded at the sight.
Her father, whom she had been so proud of, had actually been knocked out by Son Goten with a single punch.
Below the competition stage.
Mr. Satan, whose head had slammed hard into the wall, felt like his head was splitting apart.
That little brat! I clearly told him to hit lightly, but he hit me so hard!
Mr. Satan complained about Son Goten in his heart.
Although his body was in pain, he still put on a very relaxed appearance in front of everyone.
At that moment, one of Mr. Satan's die-hard fans seemed to have figured something out and shouted.
"I get it! Mr. Satan must have deliberately lost to that child to encourage him!"
The surrounding spectators immediately agreed with him.
"I knew it! How could world champion Mr. Satan possibly lose to a child?"
As public opinion below the stage became completely one-sided, everyone was moved by Mr. Satan's actions.
Only Son Goten and the others were left speechless.
It had to be said, their ability to make things up was truly impressive.
"Mr. Satan is eliminated. Contestant Son Goten wins! Congratulations to contestant Son Goten for successfully challenging Mr. Satan!"
Hearing this, Son Goten immediately jumped down from the competition stage and came to Trunks's side.
"Trunks!"
Trunks nodded.
"Goten, now that you've won the championship, you have to treat us!"
"Yeah!"
Son Goten nodded.
"Then let's go watch my brother and the others fight now?"
Trunks nodded again.
"That's great! Goten won the championship!"
In the spectator stands.
Chi-Chi was speaking to Bulma with immense excitement.
Ten million might not amount to much for Bulma's family, but for Son Goku's family, it was absolutely a huge sum.
Bulma nodded faintly.
"With this ten-million prize, I can hire Goten private tutors. Even hiring three or four at once wouldn't be a problem.
Now, let's see how Goku and the others do!"
World Martial Arts Tournament contestant rest area.
After watching Son Goten and the others' match, Son Goku felt a little hungry, so he brought Gohan and the others to the rest area to get something to eat.
After arriving at the rest area, Son Goku saw Vegeta stuffing food into his mouth.
"Vegeta!"
Son Goku smiled and greeted Vegeta.
Vegeta ignored him and continued eating his food.
Seeing this, Son Goku asked the staff for food, then sat beside Vegeta and began eating with him.
Seeing that, Gohan led Videl over and sat down.
However, they did not immediately touch the food on the table. They waited until the staff brought them their food before starting to eat.
"It's delicious, Dad!"
"The food at the martial arts tournament has always been delicious!"
"Always?"
"Crunch, crunch, crunch..."
Just as Gohan was feeling puzzled, Son Goku took the food in front of Gohan and ate it.
"Dad, that was my food!"
"You weren't eating it, so I thought you didn't like it!"
Watching Son Goku and the others eat, Krillin could not help but laugh.
Back when he ate with Son Goku, Son Goku had also "snatched" his food just like this.
