Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, another two years had passed.
That day, the Saiyans of Planet Vegeta returned home, no matter where they had been.
Since the ban on venturing into space had been lifted, this was the first time almost all the Saiyans had gathered on their homeworld.
They had returned to take part in the first Saiyan World Martial Arts Tournament, which would soon be held on Planet Vegeta.
The origins of this tournament went back two years.
After finishing his training on King Kai's Planet and returning to Planet Vegeta, Lin Chen received a suggestion from Bardock.
Having watched three consecutive World Martial Arts Tournaments on Earth, Bardock felt that a similar competition could be held on Planet Vegeta.
Saiyans loved fighting to their very bones. This kind of arena combat was exactly their weakness and was sure to cause a sensation on Planet Vegeta.
Bardock therefore proposed holding a World Martial Arts Tournament on Planet Vegeta.
First, it would give all the Saiyans a chance to blow off steam.
Second, it would serve as a test of the Saiyans' current strength.
Since returning to Planet Vegeta, Lin Chen had resumed his monotonous training, striving to reach a higher level.
To pass the time, he readily agreed to Bardock's suggestion.
After discussing it, the two also settled on a number of regulations for the tournament.
For instance, if Planet Vegeta's World Martial Arts Tournament was to be held again in the future, each tournament would take place ten years apart.
The rules followed those of the World Martial Arts Tournament: killing was forbidden, and falling out of bounds or losing consciousness counted as a defeat.
The only real difficulty was the prize. Earth's tournament offered money, but Saiyans had no interest in that.
