On a barren, brown planet devoid of any life, massive craters resembling pockmarks covered the entire surface.

At this moment, a semi-circular light barrier sat within one of the giant craters, and inside this barrier, a massive arena had been constructed, spanning a full five hundred square meters.

On either side of the arena stood a giant sign—or rather, a mirror—displaying the images of Beerus and Champa.

Champa, Vados, and the others had already gathered at the site, and their team of six contestants (including the referee) was fully assembled.

"They aren't here yet?" Champa asked, sounding somewhat impatient.

Vados smiled gently and replied, "They have arrived."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Champa suddenly looked to the side.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Beerus and his group appeared in the arena.

Upon their arrival, everyone was stunned—not by the arena itself, but by the massive spheres of light surrounding the planet. These spheres emitted a golden glow, and inside each one were stars—six in total—arranged in a specific sequence.

It was exactly like a giant version of the Dragon Balls!

"This... could these be the Super Dragon Balls? They're so huge!" Bulma's eyes widened in shock; she never imagined that Dragon Balls could grow to such a size.

The others nodded in agreement, completely dumbfounded, as they had never seen anything like them before.

"These are the true Dragon Balls, the universe-level Dragon Balls. The Dragon Balls on your Earth were actually created from fragments of these Super Dragon Balls, though their power is nowhere near as great," Beerus said indifferently.

"Wow! Is this where the tournament will be held?" Sun Wukong asked, suddenly excited.

"I have a question—how are we able to breathe here? Aren't we unable to survive once we leave Earth?" Krillin asked, puzzled.

"This area has been encased by Vados's divine power, so you have nothing to worry about!" Whis said with a slight smile.

Beerus looked at Champa and said, "Champa, I didn't expect you to find this place for the tournament. Interesting."

As he spoke, Beerus glanced at the surrounding Super Dragon Balls and closed his eyes with a smile. "I didn't think you'd be able to find so many Super Dragon Balls. It's quite a surprise."

Champa replied coldly, "Hmph! I spent a long time searching for these Super Dragon Balls! So, you should know how much I value this battle!"

"But I have a question—did you take the Super Dragon Ball from my Universe 7?" Beerus looked at Champa, teasing him.

"Uh!... This..." Champa began to look awkward.

Beerus said dismissively, "Enough talk. They'll be ours in the end anyway. Is your team complete?"

Champa snorted and nodded triumphantly. "Of course!"

With that, he stepped aside to reveal their contestants: a scrawny youth, a pitch-black robot, a bulky Golden Bear, a purple alien in a cloak, and one who looked remarkably like Frieza!

"That guy... is that Frieza?!" Krillin and the others turned grim the moment they saw him.

Sun Wukong and Vegeta also grew serious; it seemed they didn't know enough about this parallel universe after all!

Luya swept a calm gaze over the Universe 6 team before fixing his eyes on Hit, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

This guy was undoubtedly the strongest person present!

"Hmph! What Frieza? He is the representative of justice for Universe 6 and has even won the Excellent Justice and Peace Award!" Champa said, looking rather smug.

"What?! A peace award?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stared in disbelief!

Damn it! Is this a joke? How could Frieza be a man of justice? He's more like the embodiment of evil!

In their Universe 7, Frieza held the title of the Evil Emperor!

"Hello, my name is Frost! I am the captain of the Universe 6 Universe Patrol!" The guy who looked like Frieza walked over and greeted them in a friendly manner.

Krillin and the others exchanged glances, hesitating. The impression Frieza had left on them was simply too deep, and the stranger's friendliness only cast a shadow over them, leaving them unsure of how to respond to his warmth.

"Hi! Nice to meet you! My name is Sun Wukong. In our universe, there is someone who looks just like you, but he is very evil—not like you, who holds such a noble title," Sun Wukong said with a grin.

Frost smiled slightly and said, "I understand."

"Enough, let's get started! Let's make this quick!" Beerus said impatiently.

Champa stepped forward and announced, "Fine! Since that's the case, let's begin! Our tournament will consist of two parts! First, a written test! We will compare our intellect! Then, we will have the martial arts tournament to compare our strength!"

Beerus frowned. "There's a written test?"

Champa replied coldly, "Of course! This is a competition between our two universes! Naturally, we must test our intellect!"

Beerus sounded annoyed. "What a hassle! Fine, let's do it!"

Champa said, "For this martial arts tournament, he will serve as the referee!"

As he spoke, a bean-sprout-like alien walked up.

Beerus glanced at him briefly and nodded. "Then let's begin!"

Soon, the contestants from both sides sat at a table, each with a sheet of white paper placed in front of them.

"This written test consists of multiple-choice questions. There are ten questions on the paper, and answering five correctly counts as a win!" Vados said with a gentle smile.

Everyone's expression turned serious. They looked down at the white paper in front of them, picked it up, and were immediately filled with confusion.

Damn it! It's all about food? What kind of idiot came up with such a childish test?

Achoo!!

Suddenly, Beerus and Champa both sneezed at the same time!

Immediately, the two looked at each other and said in unison, "Are you bad-mouthing me?!"

The two: "..."

Whis: "..."

Vados: "..."

"Hmph! How could such a trivial test stump me?!" Vegeta was clearly impatient, immediately picking up his pen to start writing. He was the husband of the wealthy Bulma, after all! In such a rich household, what hadn't he enjoyed?

"BEEP!!! This contestant! You are eliminated!" Suddenly, just as Vegeta put pen to paper, Vados appeared out of nowhere with a whistle and blew it right beside him, making Vegeta jump in shock!

The crowd, currently at their wits' end, all turned to look.

"Hey! What is the meaning of this?! On what grounds am I eliminated?!" Vegeta demanded, furious and annoyed.

Vados smiled slightly and said, "Well... I hadn't said 'start' yet, and you already answered... According to the rules, that counts as cheating..."

Vegeta: "..."

PS: I've slightly altered this plot; there are some discrepancies, but it doesn't have much of an impact.
