In other words, by relying on the combination of Kaio-ken and Ultra Instinct, he could become invincible!
He certainly wanted to learn Kaio-ken, but he didn't know how to bring it up all of a sudden.
While he was hesitating, Chi-Chi and the others not far away noticed Son Goku with him and brought a group of people over to greet them.
"Goku, where did you suddenly run off to? Wow, Gohan, you're here? Why didn't you tell me?"
"And Videl, you two moved to the city and rarely come to visit me anymore!"
Chi-Chi's face lit up with joy as she saw Gohan and hurried forward.
Mentioning something else, she smiled again: "By the way, the ten million Gohan gave me last time has all been used for Goten's education."
"It's a good thing Gohan gave us that ten million, otherwise, there really wouldn't be any money left at home!"
After saying this, she glared at Son Goku, who scratched his head, clearly not daring to utter a word in front of Chi-Chi.
This was the strongest, most invincible henpecked husband in the universe!
If anyone claimed Son Goku was the strongest in the universe, they were wrong; Chi-Chi was the true strongest in the universe.
Goten, seeing his father for the first time, hid behind his mother. It was only after Chi-Chi pulled him over that Goten dared to acknowledge Son Goku.
Son Goku's arrival drew the eyes of many toward him.
Only one person not far away let out a cold snort, his gaze fixed coldly on them, shifting from Son Goku to Gohan.
Gohan could feel that aura of rage even from a great distance.
Vegeta was truly a tsundere!
He just stood to the side, not even wanting to say hello, yet he had been observing them from start to finish.
If he didn't dare to come over, what was that if not being a tsundere?
Clearly, Son Goku sensed it too; he walked over to Gohan and whispered about Vegeta.
"Gohan, do you have some history with Vegeta? I always feel like he looks at you a bit more."
"Did you ever spar with Vegeta?"
Gohan nodded and said casually, "That's right. I won against him once using technique. Of course, it wasn't a win based on raw strength."
"It should be said that Vegeta was just careless!"
Hearing this, Son Goku—whether intentionally or not—let out a loud exclamation.
"No way, Gohan! You, you actually beat Vegeta? That's amazing!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Master Roshi, Bulma, Yamcha, and the others nearby looked over in astonishment.
They never imagined that Gohan could actually beat Vegeta.
The group immediately broke into a heated discussion. Yamcha, ever the opportunist, walked up, hooked his arm around Gohan's neck, and laughed.
"Gohan, you're something else! I never thought you could beat Vegeta. That means the runner-up for this Martial Arts Tournament is definitely yours; your Son family is going to sweep the top two spots."
He then whispered, "Gohan, help me take care of the other opponents later. Let me take third place so I can go pick up girls. I can give you the prize money!"
Yamcha was truly good at cozying up to people, even asking him to help secure third place.
This statement implied that Son Goku would be first and he would be second. As for Vegeta, who was being criticized by the group, how could he not hear Yamcha's words?
He was instantly enraged and fired an energy blast that struck a nearby wall.
That wall was truly unlucky!
BOOM!
A wall in the distance shattered, and when everyone looked over, they didn't know who had destroyed it.
But the angry Vegeta had already left, not stopping for a single second as he headed toward the Martial Arts Tournament.
Vegeta was just that arrogant; he didn't intend to explain himself, choosing instead to prove his worth with his strength.
Vegeta was certainly a bit hot-headed right now.
"Wow, Vegeta really has a temper, destroying someone else's wall just like that!"
Son Goku sighed incessantly, which finally made everyone realize it was Vegeta's doing.
Although Vegeta was technically a teammate now, those who had fought him before and remembered his ferocious strength were all wary. Even Yamcha grew worried; if Vegeta found out about his earlier words, his face would surely change.
Only Gohan didn't take it to heart. He was scanning his surroundings, and his eyes immediately locked onto the person he was looking for.
Sure enough, the East Supreme Kai had already come to participate in this tournament.
His arrival meant that Majin Buu would be born soon!
The East Supreme Kai was still looking quite dignified, bringing his attendant Kibito as he approached Son Goku.
The two met face-to-face, and his gaze was clearly fixed solely on Son Goku.
Because Son Goku was the one who defeated Frieza, they were indeed very concerned about him!
"Son Goku, is it? I didn't expect to meet you here. I'm looking forward to your matches!"
The East Supreme Kai curled his lip. The words he spoke with that smirk made Son Goku pause; he turned his head and swept a glance at the man.
Sensing the other's aura, Son Goku frowned, clearly aware of something.
Seeing the East Supreme Kai acting so haughty and wearing such a playful expression, Gohan almost forgot that this guy's combat power was basically trash.
Along with the servants behind him, whatever "Supreme Kai" they were, they were all essentially garbage!
It was a credit to the man that he maintained a cold and arrogant attitude; with a faint curl of his lip, he dropped those words and left with his group.
"Who is that guy? He looks like he might be pretty strong."
The group looked at each other in confusion, not knowing who this East Supreme Kai was. Only Son Goku and Piccolo had changes in their expressions.
Piccolo's look of utter shock caused everyone else to misunderstand the situation.
"Th-these two are!"
Piccolo's mouth hung open, but he stopped mid-sentence, unable to finish. Beside him, Bulma wore a strange expression.
"What is it, Piccolo? Are these two really that strong?"
Seeing Piccolo's expression, Yamcha sighed in frustration, looking completely dejected.
"Wow, there goes my dream of taking third place. Damn it, I didn't think there would be so many tough opponents in this Martial Arts Tournament!"
Krillin couldn't help but burst into laughter. He patted Yamcha on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Yamcha, taking third isn't going to be that easy. You should just be like me and give up on the tournament!"
Krillin had no intention of fighting; he had barely been participating in training lately.
Without Android 18, Krillin was now just a little bald guy who had lost his fighting spirit!
Gohan shook his head and instructed Videl to watch from the sidelines and keep Bulma company.
As for himself, he followed Kakarot into the backstage area of the Martial Arts Tournament to register.
This tournament was proceeding smoothly, but before the matches began, there was one more test to undergo.
The organizers had placed a Punching Machine on the ring, though it was a pity that its limit was only 1,000; anything beyond that couldn't be measured.
Everyone participating in the tournament had to pass this test. The most dazzling figure among them was, of course, Satan, who arrived wearing his Championship Belt.
His appearance immediately drew a wave of cheers from the crowd.
Satan raised a hand, striking a decent pose, though he clearly caught sight of Gohan and restrained himself quite a bit.
The entire audience was shouting in excitement.
"Satan! Satan!"
"Satan is definitely going to take first place! Satan is a hero!"
"Satan, I support you! Knock all the other contestants off the stage!"
As the crowd cheered, Satan finished his pose and immediately sidled up to Gohan. While Son Goku was still confused, Satan pulled Gohan aside and whispered: "Gohan, in a moment, don't use too much strength. With your power, don't go breaking the machine."
"Also, how about you take second place this time and let me take first? It's for Videl's sake, how about it?"
Seeing the pleading look on his face, Gohan glanced at Son Goku with a smirk and said calmly: "Uncle Satan, whether I can take second place or not isn't up to me—it depends on my father!"
Satan was stunned, looking confused: "Isn't your father deceased?"
Gohan nodded: "Yes, but he's back from the afterlife for one day. He took a day off to come and participate with me!"
Satan was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend how someone who had passed away could return from the afterlife.
Son Goku, listening to their idle chatter, was clearly a bit interested in Satan as well. He leaned in and asked: "Gohan, who is this Satan to you? And by the way, do we really need to take the top two spots in this tournament?"
Gohan was speechless that even Kakarot was asking him this, so he could only reply:
"This is my girlfriend's father—Videl's father. Let's just hope this tournament can even proceed smoothly."
"Father, you've already met the Supreme Kai, haven't you? Do you really think this tournament will go off without a hitch?"
Hearing Gohan's retort, especially the fact that he had seen through the Supreme Kai's identity, Son Goku was surprised for a moment before laughing out loud.
"Indeed, I didn't expect the Supreme Kai to show up here either. Well, they must have something they need to do."
"It's very likely this tournament won't be able to continue!"
After saying this, his expression turned serious. His eyes narrowed, and the aura he exuded was truly formidable.
Gohan felt that, with his own current strength, there was still a gap between him and the Son Goku standing before him!
However, he certainly wouldn't give up just like that!
As the two talked, Satan, having no idea what was going on, looked completely bewildered. He scratched his head, glancing between Son Goku and the halo floating above his head.
Feeling puzzled, he asked Gohan, "Gohan, who is this guy, and what's that halo on his head?"
Gohan had almost forgotten about Satan standing right there. He cast a sympathetic look at him, patted the oblivious man on the shoulder, and spoke up.
"Don't worry, Father-in-law, your first-place spot isn't going anywhere. Just be yourself, and I guarantee you'll take the win."
"However, as for the prize money for first and second place, my father and I have decided—we definitely need that money!"
Hearing Gohan's promise, Satan's eyes lit up. He agreed happily, thumping his chest in assurance.
"Rest easy! I have no interest in the prize money for first and second place. When the time comes, I'll make sure you get it. Gohan, this time, my championship title is counting on you!"
