Another World Martial Arts Tournament

On Southeast Island, it was drizzling.

The continuous rainy weather showed no signs of stopping, making the air extremely humid. Southeast Island is a relatively large island with its own city, many times larger than Papaya Island, the venue for the World Martial Arts Tournament three years ago.

Three years later, the World Martial Arts Tournament held again, and martial arts practitioners from all over the world arrived early to show their skills at the event.

At the registration desk for the tournament, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Chi -Suno Chi-Chi, and Suno had already registered and were waiting for Goku to appear, but he hadn't arrived yet after a long time.

"Why hasn't Goku arrived yet? Has he forgotten?"

"That guy always makes people so nervous."

"Don't worry, Bulma is with him and will definitely remind him." Chi-Chi checked the time; there was still a long time before the registration deadline. "Piccolo's ki hasn't appeared yet, so we don't need to wait here."

"Creak!"

With a screeching sound of brakes, a taxi stopped in front of them. Several people jumped out of the car: Master Roshi and Oolong, along with Bulma's sister Tights.

"Oolong, Master Roshi!" Krillin greeted him warmly.

"Tights is here too!"

Tights tossed her golden hair, a smile on her face. "Capsule Corporation is one of the organizers of this World Martial Arts Tournament. I'm here to gather writing material." Only then did everyone realize that the person in front of them was not only the young lady of Capsule Corporation, but also a well-known novelist.

"Tights, do you know where Goku is? Why hasn't he come yet?"

"Goku and Bulma went to Mount Paozu first, they'll be here soon. Oh, by the way, they're getting married after this World Martial Arts Tournament, remember to attend the wedding!"

Tights's words were like a thunderbolt, leaving everyone stunned.

"Goku is getting married..." Krillin was quite surprised, especially since the bride was Bulma. However, Goku's small size made it seem awkward for him to be with Bulma! Upon hearing this question, Tights laughed and said that Goku was Saiyan and had grown up now.

Krillin imagined what Goku would look like when he grew up and found it incredible.

At that moment, a golden streak of light ripped through the sky, and Goku, carrying Bulma, rode over on his Flying Nimbus. When they saw Goku in his adult form, both Master Roshi and Krillin were stunned.

"Is this Goku?" Krillin rubbed his eyes, his face showing disbelief.

"Yeah, does nobody recognize me anymore?" Goku was dressed in an orange-red martial arts uniform, his strong body standing tall and straight, showing no trace of the short stature he used to have.

"It really is Goku! The change is too great!"

"He's grown so much taller!"

Krillin compared their heights and realized that the guy who was supposed to be shorter than him was actually several heads taller than him, especially with his handsome appearance, it was just too much.

"Hehe, I also feel like I've changed quite a bit." Goku scratched his head sheepishly. Bulma, linking her arm with Goku's, smiled sweetly and said, "Long time no see, everyone!"

"Chi-Chi, Suno, hello!"

"Haven't seen you for a long time."

Chi-Chi and Bulma had known each other for a while, and the girls quickly started chatting. After learning that Bulma was going to marry Goku, Chi-Chi sincerely wished them well and then asked about their lives over the past few years, to which Bulma gave a brief introduction.

On the other side, Tien Shinhan's gaze lingered on Goku after he appeared. Sensing the faint aura emanating from Goku, Tien Shinhan's expression turned serious. Compared to his own progress over the past three years, Goku's growth seemed far greater.

"Goku... your qi?"

"I've been undergoing rigorous training in another place for the past few years, and my strength has increased significantly!"

"Is it on another planet?" Tien Shinhan asked curiously.

Goku, full of energy, said, "That's right, there are so many powerful fighters there, I'm no match for them at all." He then recounted what he had seen and heard on Planet Sadala. Tien Shinhan was stunned when he learned that there were many powerful fighters on Planet Sadala who could defeat Goku in a single move.

Even a master like Goku couldn't withstand a single move.

That's a master of such a high level.

There are so many powerful beings on other planets! Compared to them, my current strength is nothing! Thinking of all the powerful beings in the world, Tien Shinhan was not discouraged; his burning heart became even more fervent.

"Goku, you need to sign up right away!" Master Roshi glanced at his watch, interrupting Goku and the others from continuing their conversation.

"Oh well!"

Goku responded and then went to the registration desk to give his name.

"Goku?!"

The staff member in charge of registration for the World Martial Arts Tournament immediately became excited upon hearing the name of the previous champion Goku. "Mr. Goku, welcome to the World Martial Arts Tournament! Your name has been registered. We wish you continued success and hope you will put on a spectacular performance for us."

"There are a lot of experts this year, it won't be easy to win the championship!" Goku said shyly.

"Mr. Goku is so modest." The staff thought that Goku was just joking when he said that the person who defeated King Piccolo and saved the world was just kidding.

Goku smiled but didn't explain. His sharp eyes, however, were fixed on the other side of the World Martial Arts Tournament arena. Although Tien Shinhan and the others couldn't sense Piccolo's ki, he knew that Piccolo had actually arrived at the World Martial Arts Tournament arena. Goku had been looking forward to seeing that new Piccolo for a long time.

"I hope he won't disappoint me!" Having seen all sorts of powerful fighters on Planet Sadala, even knowing that the newly reborn Piccolo was strong, Goku wasn't intimidated at all.

The rain gradually subsided, the sky began to clear, and the azure sky revealed itself from behind the clouds.

After registration closed, Goku and the others checked into a nearby hotel. Since the registration deadline was approaching evening, the official World Martial Arts Tournament would not begin until the morning of the following day.

With the eldest and second young ladies of the Capsule Corporation present, the hotel they stayed at was naturally the highest-class hotel on the entire Southeast Island. When they arrived at the hotel, Roland was already waiting there, with Blue-haired Launch in a pink dress, standing quietly next to her, folding an umbrella.

Upon seeing Goku and the others arrive, Roland greeted them with a relaxed expression, and then checked into the hotel with Tights.

Krillin and the others all knew Roland and that he was Bulma's brother-in-law, so they weren't surprised that Tights was living with Roland.

"Mr. Roland is still as unfathomable as ever..." Tien Shinhan sighed, watching Roland's retreating figure.

"That guy is a master even in the universe; we're far inferior to him." The last time they met was when Luo Lan took Luo Fei to the temple for cultivation; in any case, Klin had never been able to see through him.

"If you can reach even one ten-thousandth of his level, you'll be an extraordinary master." A strange voice rang in Tien Shinhan and Krillin's ears. Looking up, they saw a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and with a balding head.

The other person was wearing a white shirt, slightly hunched over, with unsteady steps and a lack of sharpness in their eyes. Despite not appearing strong, they gave off a different kind of feeling.

Incongruous – that was Tien Shinhan's first impression of the other person.

"The aura isn't strong, but why does it feel so familiar?" Tien Shinhan pondered to himself.

Chi-Chi looked at the middle-aged man and smiled serenely, "Kami, why have you personally descended to the mortal realm?"

The middle-aged man shushed him. "I'm currently using a mortal's body. Please call me 'Tian Xing.' I still don't feel safe with King Piccolo!"
