The World Martial Arts Tournament Opens

"Since there are no strong opponents left here, I think it is time for me to leave!" Ziye suddenly spoke up.

Hearing this, Lena's expression shifted, her eyes drifting as she said with some reluctance, "You're leaving? But you just defeated King Asura; the Demon Realm needs a new ruler now."

"That works out perfectly. You've helped me so much, so why don't you become the ruler of the Demon Realm?"

Ziye chuckled and said.

"Me?"

Lena pointed at herself. Although a glimmer of desire flickered in her eyes, she lowered her head in shame and said, "But my strength isn't considered outstanding in the Demon Realm. I'm sure too many people won't accept it!"

"It's fine, I'm here!"

Ziye reached out, gently patted her shoulder, and said:

"You just need to boldly step into the position of the Demon Realm's ruler. Leave anyone who refuses to accept it to me!"

"If that's the case, then... alright."

Hearing this, Lena pursed her lips slightly and nodded.

The news of King Asura's death quickly spread throughout the entire Demon Realm. For a time, all the demons within were restless, and within half a day, all the powerful leaders had gathered in King Asura's former palace.

"Lena, are you saying this human brat defeated Lord Asura?"

"How ridiculous. Do you take us for fools?"

"I suspect you assassinated Lord Asura in secret, coveting the throne of the Demon Realm for yourselves!"

All the demons in the hall harbored their own ulterior motives, their faces filled with disdain, as if they hadn't taken the other party's words to heart at all.

"Believe it or not, I killed Asura! Now I announce that Lena is the new ruler of the Demon Realm!"

Hearing this, all the demons in the hall burst into laughter, one after another spouting arrogant remarks:

"How laughable. Letting a watchdog become the ruler of the Demon Realm—do you think we have no one left?"

"Exactly. Besides, you're just a human. What right do you have to manage the affairs of our Demon Realm?"

"What right? This right!"

Hearing this, Ziye couldn't help but sneer, and immediately fired two vortex air blades, turning two demons of considerable strength into blood mist.

Seeing this, all the demons were shocked into silence. Although the two dead demons weren't the strongest among them, their strength was not to be underestimated, yet they hadn't even had the chance to fight back. The others couldn't help but retreat several steps in fear; now, they were starting to believe that he really had killed King Asura!

"Does anyone have any objections now?"

Seeing the demons in the hall remain silent, Ziye nodded and continued, "Since there are no objections, from now on, Lena will be the new ruler of the Demon Realm!"

"However, I have three rules for you: first, anyone who refuses to submit or commits treason will be executed without mercy; second, anyone who eats human flesh will be executed without mercy; third, anyone who goes to the human world to harm innocent people will be executed without mercy!"

Hearing this, the demons below showed dissatisfaction, and a few of the bolder ones directly questioned him.

"Why? We are demons by nature, why can't we eat humans?"

"Exactly. Even when Lord Asura was here, he didn't control us. What right do you have to?"

"That's right! Don't think that we in the Demon Realm are easy to bully!"

Before they could finish, Ziye casually unleashed several vortex air blades, slaughtering the troublemakers, and then continued coldly, "Who else is dissatisfied? Step forward and let me see how many of you in the Demon Realm have any backbone."

"Since that's the case, I'll take your silence as agreement!"

At these words, the demons in the hall remained silent, standing with their heads bowed, not daring to make a single move.

Subsequently, with Ziye's help, Lena successfully took the position of the ruler of the Demon Realm. To prevent her from being harmed, Ziye directly slaughtered all the demons who were secretly plotting against her or had been at odds with her in the past!

The living environment of the Demon Realm was extremely poor for a human, but to help Lena cultivate, he willingly stayed there for nearly a year. In that year, Lena's strength progressed by leaps and bounds, surpassing King Asura before his transformation!

A year later, Lena's status in the Demon Realm had risen steadily, and her reputation as Queen had far exceeded that of the former King Asura. Having thus repaid the debt of her saving his life, Ziye left the Demon Realm with a clear conscience!

After leaving the Demon Realm, Ziye returned to the room in Korin Tower. He looked at the familiar surroundings and then walked outside.

"Ziye, I didn't expect you to actually come back alive. You had me worried for a few minutes!"

Seeing Ziye, Korin couldn't help but look surprised.

"Oh? Your aura seems quite unusual! It seems you gained a lot in the Demon Realm!" Korin said, stroking his chin.

"It was alright, my strength has finally made significant progress," Ziye replied calmly.

Two years passed in a flash, and soon the second World Martial Arts Tournament arrived!

After saying goodbye to Korin, Ziye flew directly toward Papaya Island, located in the center of the southern ocean. That's right, Ziye had already figured out how to use flight magic on his own!

After flying for less than thirty minutes, Ziye finally arrived at the venue for the World Martial Arts Tournament. Following the exciting matches from the last tournament, it had attracted thrill-seekers from all over the country, and the entire venue was packed with people!

"I wonder if Bulma and the others have arrived yet? I broke my promise to go see her, so I'll probably get a lecture," Ziye muttered to himself, rubbing his head.

"Hey, Ziye, over here!"

At that moment, a familiar voice rang out. Ziye turned around and saw Krillin and the others waving excitedly at him from not far away.

"Master Mutten, Krillin, Oolong, long time no see!" Ziye walked up quickly and reached out to greet everyone warmly!

"Bulma, what's wrong?" Looking at the silent Bulma on the side, Ziye asked, feeling a bit awkward.

"Hmph."

Bulma rolled her eyes at Ziye, then pursed her lips and turned her head away, saying coldly, "I don't know who it was that said they were coming to see me, but three years have passed and I haven't even seen a shadow."

"I'm sorry, Bulma! I've been busy training these past few years, so..." Ziye rubbed the back of his head, offering a rather weak and pale explanation.

"Fine, you don't need to explain! I suppose I'm just not in your heart, am I?"

"Do you feel like my existence is hindering your training? Then I'll just leave!"

With that, Bulma crossed her arms over her chest and, ignoring Ziye, walked straight toward the hotel they had rented, muttering under her breath as she went.

"You hateful jerk, if you don't come and coax me, you're dead meat!"
