"Let Universe 9 and Universe 6, the two universes with the lowest average strength, ranked last and second to last respectively, face off."
When the Grand Minister said this, Sidra, Universe 9's God of Destruction, had no objections and readily accepted.
Champa, however, jumped in surprise and cried out.
"Huh? Grand Minister, isn't that wrong? How is Universe 6 second to last? Shouldn't that be Universe 7?"
The Grand Minister took out his staff and glanced at it before explaining, "No, there is no mistake. Of the twelve universes, Universe 9 and Universe 6 currently occupy the bottom two places. Universe 7 was second to last fifty years ago, but its rating has risen considerably in recent years. It now ranks sixth."
"Sixth?"
"That Universe 7?"
"What exactly did Beerus do?"
Everyone from the other universes was astonished by the Grand Minister's words.
As everyone knew, a universe's rating generally depended on how diligently its God of Destruction and Supreme Kai worked.
As long as the God of Destruction kept eliminating planets that dragged the universe down, while the Supreme Kai kept helping planets grow, a universe's average rating could rise quickly.
Universe 7's Supreme Kai was a rookie who knew nothing, so the rise in its rating could only have been Beerus's doing.
What they did not know, however, was that it actually had nothing to do with Beerus.
Well, not everyone was in the dark. Champa knew the secret.
"Damn it! This has to be because of Lin Chen and his friends!"
Champa gritted his teeth. He also stubbornly believed that Lin Chen and his friends must have had something to do with this tournament.
Otherwise, how had the people of Universe 7 known months ago that there would be a Martial Arts Tournament involving the entire universe?
