The results of the draw are as follows:
Krillin vs. Panda
Shin (Supreme Kai) vs. Demon Youth (Piccolo)
Videl vs. Spopovich
Kibito vs. Great Saiyaman (Son Gohan)
Android 18 vs. Mr. Satan
Son Goku vs. Vegeta
Masked Fighter (Son Goten, Trunks) vs. Jera (a dark-skinned man)
Yamu vs. Pui Pui (a sissy)
Seeing his opponent, Krillin was overjoyed. Oh my, the first match is absolutely zero pressure. Piccolo looked at his own opponent, feeling somewhat uneasy. As for Satan... er, Son Goten had hit him a bit too hard, and he still hadn't woken up! As for who was the happiest, that would of course be our prince, Vegeta, who had waited so many years for this chance to duel Son Goku.
Son Goten looked at his opponent and expressed that there was zero pressure; he would finish it in one move.
The first match was very easy. That fat guy named Panda was asking for it by letting Krillin attack first, and then... he was out of the ring.
"Wow, so amazing!"
"So strong!"
"A one-hit KO!"
Krillin raised his fist with ease and exited the stage amidst the cheers of the audience.
"Now, for the second match, contestant Shin versus contestant Demon Youth," the referee announced immediately after seeing Krillin leave the stage.
The Supreme Kai walked toward the ring step by step with a faint smile on his face, while in contrast, Piccolo's expression was grave.
"Um, please try not to destroy the ring again," the referee said with lingering fear as Piccolo walked past him, after all, the battle between Son Goku and Piccolo back in the day had completely demolished the entire tournament venue.
Piccolo walked past without a word, while the attention of Son Goku and his group was entirely on this match, or rather, on the Supreme Kai.
"The second match begins now."
Finally, I can find out just how strong this mysterious guy really is, Vegeta thought to himself, staring at the Supreme Kai.
"You'll know in a moment. Come, let's play a game first!"
The Supreme Kai spoke as if he didn't care that this was a match, acting like a long-time friend of Piccolo.
Piccolo's expression changed, and he immediately said, "I forfeit."
"Er, contestant Demon Youth forfeits. Contestant Shin wins by default."
That's right, he was once the Guardian of this planet; he might have already sensed my identity, the Supreme Kai thought to himself.
The unique aura of a deity can only be felt by other deities. Even if Piccolo's strength might potentially surpass the Supreme Kai's, the gap in their status was still something that could be felt.
This was also the reason why Piccolo gave up; one was merely the Guardian of a small planet, while the other was the high and mighty Supreme Kai—there was a massive disparity in their levels.
"Piccolo, is he really that strong?" Son Goku asked when Piccolo returned to the waiting room.
"The difference in power is vast," Piccolo said, leaving behind those words before walking away.
"No way, then I have to fight him in the next round," Krillin said, eyes wide.
No, you won't. There won't be a next round.
"Continuing now, third match, contestant Videl versus contestant Spopovich."
"Videl!"
"Videl!"
"Videl!"
As soon as the referee finished speaking, the audience's cheers surged suddenly for Videl. As for Spopovich, the audience basically said, "I don't know him." Between a girl and a big brute, who would you choose? Does that even need asking? Especially since Videl was also Satan's daughter.
"You're so popular, Videl. Good luck!" Son Gohan cheered on Videl, who was about to take the stage.
"Mm." Videl nodded and followed Spopovich onto the stage, full of confidence.
"As everyone knows, contestant Videl is the daughter of Mr. Satan and a champion of justice who maintains social order! Seven years ago, when she was still a little girl, she already won the junior division of the tournament!"
The referee introduced the two, and well, there was a suspicion of biased treatment.
"And contestant Spopovich was defeated in the first round of the last tournament, appearing again this time with a brand-new image."
