Contestant Assembly
"The Zeno's Palace!" The Grand Minister explained the rules for the upcoming Tournament of Power.
"The average level of Universe 1, Universe 12, Universe 5, and Universe 8 is above seven, therefore they are exempt from participating in this competition."
The Grand Minister's words relieved the four God of Destruction and Supreme Kai of the universes; they were saved and wouldn't have to participate in the Tournament of Power.
"From each universe, ten people will be selected as contestants, excluding the God of Destruction. They are not allowed to kill each other. Their goal is to knock their opponents off the stage. The competition time is one hundred taks. During this time, everyone fights together. At the end of the competition, the universe with the most remaining contestants wins."
"The tournament will be held in the World of Void. I will create a specially designed arena there, and I will teleport everyone there. Please gather at any location in your own universe and wait. Those who are late will be left behind, so please pay attention."
"Furthermore, the use of weapons or drugs is strictly prohibited. If discovered, the entire team will be disqualified. Please take this seriously."
Universe 7, in Mount Paozu.
Son Goku and Vegeta had already emerged from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber; their two years of training inside had brought their power to a new level.
Whis arrived with Beerus and Shin, informing Son Wuling and the others about the upcoming Tournament of Power and explaining the rules.
"Wow, it really is a free-for-all of ten people!"
Son Wuling was leaning back in a recliner, with Videl massaging his shoulders, Satan rubbing his legs, and Mai holding a tray with juice for him. Number 18, also dressed in a long dress, was lying in his arms, picking crystal grapes and putting them into Son Wuling's mouth.
"I can't believe you've arrived so quickly!"
Number 18 got down from Son Wuling's arms, stretched, and revealed her graceful figure.
Son Wuling glanced at Beerus and Whis, who looked completely unhurried, and asked, "Why aren't you in a hurry? How much time is left before the Tournament of Power begins?"
"We still have over thirty hours to prepare. Apart from us Champa, companies like Universe 9 only found out about this today."
Whis explained to Son Wuling that Universe 9 was also the worst in terms of average ability and had very poor interpersonal relationships, which was why they knew about the Tournament of Power.
"Hey, Wuling, how's it going? Are you confident you can beat your son?"
Even if Universe 7 is destroyed, the Angel Whis will still exist, while Beerus will be destroyed along with it, so he is very anxious, especially when he thinks of Champa's face, he seems to think that he has won for sure.
"What son? I only have one daughter, Rose. When did I ever acknowledge that guy as my son, Lord Beerus? Don't talk nonsense."
Son Wuling raised her voice a few decibels, glared at Beerus with dissatisfaction, and said with a resolute tone, before pulling Rose and Number 18 into her arms.
"Um, I'm sorry..."
Beerus offered a weak apology.
Rose then wiggled her fingers and asked, "Dad, do we have any tactics?"
"Of course there is. As long as we don't break the rules, we'll do whatever it takes to win. But we need to conserve our strength at the beginning. When there are only ten minutes left, we'll have Goku and Vegeta fuse into Vegito. We'll try our best not to be eliminated."
Son Wuling replied, "As for why it's ten minutes, it's because Vegeta and Son Goku experimented with fusing using the Potara Earrings. Due to the excessive power, they couldn't maintain the original one-hour duration. Vegito can only maintain it for ten minutes."
"Vegito!"
Rose's face immediately fell. Although the Potara Earrings in her hand no longer had a time limit, it now required more from the two people who were in sync, so she couldn't use it anymore.
Beerus checked the time and said, "Let's meet here at 8 PM tomorrow night at Mount Paozu. Get some rest, stop all training, and get everyone in top condition. Don't lose. The Universe 7 is counting on you."
Son Wuling smiled and gave an OK sign, saying, "Don't worry, Lord Beerus, we've been preparing for this for a long time."
At 7 o'clock, a crescent moon hung in the sky above Mount Paozu. In addition to the ten people who were originally going to participate, Master Roshi, Krillin, Launch, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha and others had all arrived.
Number 18 is now wearing the Battle Suit that Son Wuling made for her. She is holding Son Wuling's arm and sitting in a chair. Vegeta and Son Goku are eating chicken legs and fighting each other again.
Bulla, standing in the crowd, looked around but couldn't find Rose. He asked in confusion, "Wuling, Aunt Number 18, where's Rose? I can't see her!"
Son Wuling and said, "She went to change her clothes. She designed her own Battle Suit, it'll be ready soon."
As soon as Son Wuling finished speaking, Rose walked out of the apartment.
"Dad, Mom, everyone, how do I look in this outfit?"
Rose's voice drew everyone's attention.
"Holy crap..."
Krillin covered his mouth, his jaw nearly dropping to the floor in astonishment. Vegeta, too, stared at Rose, his chicken leg falling to the ground in disbelief. Even Son Wuling's eyes widened in disbelief.
At this moment, Rose's appearance was completely different from before. She had long, golden hair that reached her shoulders, clear blue eyes, a purple bodysuit over a blue vest, a pair of fiery red flat boots, and blue jeans with purple stripes.
The current Rose looks exactly the same as the one dressed by the King Cold back then. The difference is that the current Rose is still in its early stages and her figure is not as good as it was back then. Those who experienced that time can't help but feel a sense of fantasy.
"Not bad, it looks great!"
Number 18 gave a thumbs-up and smiled at Rose.
Beerus looked at Son Goku, Son Wuling, Piccolo, and the others in confusion. Why were they all silent? The Saiyan weren't eating.
"Hey, what's wrong with you guys! The Tournament of Power is about to start."
Beerus's call brought everyone back to their senses.
Sixth Universe, the God of Destruction Realm!
The God of Destruction, Champa, Supreme Kai, Fuwa, are here, with Hit and eight other contestants behind them.
"Why is Vados so slow? Could it be that Ryan isn't going to participate?!"
Champa kept walking, her heart pounding in her chest.
Besides Saiyan, there were two other Saiyan. Cabba Cabba, "Caulifla Saiyan, Cabba, who are we waiting for? Judging from the God of Destruction's words, he seems to be exceptionally strong."
"Yes, very strong. Zhai Kou is also Saiyan like us, and he is very strong. As for the other Mr. Ryan, I have only heard of him. He is Earthling, and the ruler of Earth. I heard that even Lord Champa couldn't withstand a single move from Mr. Ryan. His strength is comparable to Miss Vados."
Cabba's words made Caulifla's eyes light up; she couldn't wait to see Ryan and Zhai Kou.
Buzz!
"Here you come... you've finally come! Ryan, you've finally arrived."
Champa was so excited that he danced with the Supreme Kai Fuwa, who was completely bewildered at the moment.
A streak of light descended, and under Champa's excited gaze, Vados, along with Zhai Kou and Ryan, arrived at the God of Destruction Realm. The ten contestants from Sixth Universe had all assembled.
