Because there were four Saiyan contestants from Planet Vegeta added, this time the lineup for the World Martial Arts Tournament was quite different from the original work.
In the first match, Krillin faced off against one of the Saiyan contestants.
In about ten minutes, Krillin managed to defeat his opponent easily.
Although the organizers of this tournament specially invited four Saiyans from Planet Vegeta, the true powerhouses wouldn’t bother coming to Earth for a tournament like this.
Furthermore, the news of Goku and Vegeta, the champions and runners-up of the last Saiyan Martial Arts Tournament, living on Earth had already spread across Planet Vegeta. Therefore, among the four Saiyans who came this time, only Raditz had some decent strength, while the others had Power Level of just a few hundred thousand.
This level of strength might be sufficient against others, but when facing Z Fighters like Krillin, it was far from enough.
After the first match concluded, the audience erupted in cheers, applauding Krillin, who represented the Earthlings, for winning the first round.
As for Raditz and the others, they looked embarrassed, especially when they felt Vegeta’s gaze turning their way. Raditz was sweating and regretting why he had agreed to participate in this tournament in the first place. This was quite embarrassing!
Besides the unlucky four Saiyans, there was someone in the audience who was sweating profusely.
In the special rest area of the tournament venue, Mr. Satan, who was participating as a seeded contestant and would directly enter the finals, was sweating buckets.
Next to him, Zenny, the organizer of this tournament, laughed heartily and said, “Hahaha, so there are other strong fighters on Earth besides Mr. Satan!”
“Hahaha, indeed,” Mr. Satan responded with a hearty laugh.
But in reality, Mr. Satan’s back was soaked with sweat.
When the camera panned across the audience during Krillin’s victory just now, Mr. Satan was shocked to see some familiar faces. If he wasn’t mistaken, those people were the same ones that had been present during the Cell Games years ago!
Thinking about how those people had been flying around, shooting lasers, Mr. Satan couldn’t help but feel a cold sweat running down his back.
What should I do?
Could it be that no matter how many times I try to escape, I will ultimately be unable to escape the fate of being beaten to death by someone?
A little while later, a few more matches took place. One of them was between Videl, Gohan’s girlfriend, and Tien Shinhan. Although she lost the match, Videl’s performance was impressive.
Especially when they learned that she was Mr. Satan’s daughter, many thought she was much stronger than her father.
Following that, there was a match between Taro and Kibito.
As the two prepared to step onto the stage, Goku asked Supreme Kai, “Supreme Kai-sama, why haven’t Babidi’s subordinates shown up yet? Are they really going to attack the tournament?”
“They definitely will! After all, the strongest individuals on Earth right now are all gathered here. The amount of energy Majin Buu needs for resurrection is astronomical, and Babidi won’t miss any opportunity to collect a large amount of energy.”
“Go for it! Since you’re in the Adult Division, don’t get eliminated in the first round!”
On the other side, Lin Luo smiled and cheered for his younger brother.
Hanasia and the others were also rooting for Taro.
“Taro, make it a quick fight! That Kibito looks so smug; Mom doesn’t like him!”
“Sure! Watch how amazing I am!” Taro said confidently, not taking Kibito seriously at all.
He had the confidence to back it up. In fact, in Lin Chen’s absence, Taro and Lin Luo, the two brothers, have become the two most powerful Saiyans, second only to Goku and Vegeta. Even Gohan has fallen behind significantly due to lately spending most of his time on school.
After they stepped onto the arena, Kibito didn’t assume a fighting stance immediately and said, “I’m sorry, kid. I need to save my power to deal with Majin Buu. If possible, could you forfeit the match by yourself?”
“Huh?” Taro snorted, “Uncle, shouldn’t it be you who should give up? Your strength is practically nothing, keeping it is just a waste.”
“What? You’re just a kid, what do you understand?” Kibito’s face stiffened.
However, while the two were talking, the referee on the side suddenly interrupted them.
“Excuse me, little friend over there…”
“What’s the matter?” Taro turned and asked with an unfriendly tone.
For some reason, the referee’s body suddenly erupted in goosebumps. He said, “Uh, I’m sorry, but you don’t seem to be Contestant Taro, right?”
“Oh, right, I almost forgot,” Taro slapped his head, remembering that he had registered using his Legendary Super Saiyan form. In his current appearance, it was no wonder the referee didn’t recognize him.
So, Taro immediately transformed into his Legendary Super Saiyan form.
When everyone saw a child suddenly turn into a muscular man, they were all shocked. The nearby referee was even blown away by the aura that erupted when Taro transformed.
Kibito’s face also contorted in disbelief as he looked at Taro.
“How is this possible? You’re just a child, yet…”
In Kibito’s perception, Taro’s strength had already surpassed Supreme Kai. How could a child possibly possess a strength greater than a god’s?
Kibito’s worldview shattered completely at that moment.
At the same time, in the audience seats, an ordinary-looking man couldn’t help but reveal a sinister smile.
“I’ve found him! It’s him!”
In the next moment, this person suddenly pulled at the skin on his face, revealing his true identity – he was none other than the Demon King of the Demon Realm, Dabura!
Unlike the original work, this time, Babidi had sent the Demon King Dabura directly to collect energy!
Once Dabura revealed his true form, without a moment’s hesitation, he appeared beside Taro, holding the Energy Absorber and pierced it into Taro’s waist.
“Who?”
Taro was about to counterattack when Supreme Kai on the side of the arena and Kibito released their psychic power and restrained him.
“What are you doing?”
Hanasia and the others immediately noticed Taro’s strange condition in the arena and its connection to Supreme Kai. They were about to intervene, but Piccolo spoke for Supreme Kai, saying, “Everyone, don’t worry, Taro will be fine. Everything is for the sake of finding Majin Buu!”
At the same time, East Supreme Kai was shocked to discover that his divine power was almost losing its effect. The resistance from Taro made him almost want to give up.
“This mortal can actually break free from my restraints?”
Fortunately, Taro couldn’t hold on any longer. Under the effect of the Energy Absorber, his resistance finally became weak, and even his Legendary Super Saiyan form receded.
Once the energy was fully absorbed, Dabura didn’t hesitate for a moment and quickly left.
“Everyone, follow him!”
Supreme Kai shouted and immediately pursued.
Goku and the others didn’t hesitate and quickly followed suit.
Then, the remaining Z Fighters hesitated for a moment before flying out as well, leaving only Krillin behind.
“Sorry, 18, I need to go check it out!”
“Go ahead, I’ll stay here and obtain the prize money!”
“Alright.”
Krillin smiled and then went after them.
