On the way to the qualifying arena.
Videl flew through the sky and swallowed hard. "Gohan, were those... were those people really gods?"
"Yeah!"
"And you said your Uncle Kasso is the strongest person in the universe, and those gods descended here because of your Uncle Kasso?"
"Yeah!"
"..."
"Any other questions?"
"No. Let me process this for a moment."
"Alright, we're splitting up now. I'm heading to the gods' division, so do your best in the Earth division!"
"Mm!"
Videl nodded. Even as she parted ways with Son Gohan, she was still utterly dazed.
Videl arrived at the Earth division, and the World Martial Arts Tournament officially began.
The tournament was divided into three divisions.
One was the Earth division, one was the universe division, and one was the gods' division.
The first-place winner of the Earth division would have a chance to challenge the first-place winner of the universe division, and the first-place winner of the universe division would likewise have a chance to challenge the first-place winner of the gods' division.
Aside from the addition of two divisions, the rules of this World Martial Arts Tournament remained unchanged.
