Chapter 571
In a big city near the West City, today was the day of the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament. Because it had been suspended for five years, the Martial Arts Tournament this time was particularly paid attention to by the outside world.
The compet.i.tion form of the World Martial Arts Tournament was roughly the same as before, but the organizers had been recommending new things. According to the actual situation, the compet.i.tion this time was divided into two parts: the youth group and the adult group. The youth group’s compet.i.tion was very simple, and it was directly carried out in front of the open-air audience. Because the adult group had a large number of people, they were divided into preliminaries, the compet.i.tion, and the finals of the top 32.
When the Junior Division is competing for audience, the fully grown group will perform the Preliminaries Compet.i.tion for the early stage in the compet.i.tion Dojo.
In addition, the conference also had the general consultant and the hosting team. The general adviser position was temporarily held by Krillin. This was also why Yamcha asked him to help get a few good positions when he was at Krillin’s house.
The registration area for the compet.i.tion.
Since a few days ago, martial arts enthusiasts from all over the world had come to report in one after another. Today was especially packed with people, so busy that the staff did not even have time to rest.
Because there were many martial arts enthusiasts who registered for the adult group, they still needed to undergo a strength test to eliminate some people who made up the numbers.
“Zzzt zzt zzzt…” The broadcast to maintain order kept on ringing.
The crowd rushed towards the registration office. As the time of the compet.i.tion gradually approached, the registration office was packed with people. The reporters of the TV station reported the situation here with their microphones. Then, they interviewed the partic.i.p.ants with the help of the cameraman.
The registration point was divided into sixteen service areas. In front of each service area, there was a machine equipment to test the strength of the human body. Every partic.i.p.ant had to take the test, and then the information was recorded by the staff who were specially recording next to them.
Bang!
As the crowd exclaimed, a short-haired girl clenched her fist and hit the testing machine. The numbers on the machine monitor rolled up and finally stopped at 1400 J, which was 140 combat strength.
“Contestant Videl, 1400 J, qualified!”
The staff in charge of recording adjusted his gla.s.ses and solemnly wrote down Videl’s name on the roster.
“Wow, this little girl is so powerful.”
“It seems that he hasn’t used his full strength yet!”
This Martial Arts Tournament looks very interesting.
It has only been a while and there are already several experts. It would be great if the situation from more than ten years ago could appear.
There was a commotion in the crowd. They were all shocked by the strength of the young girl. The quality of the Martial Arts Tournament had been rising, but it was still very rare for experts like the 23rd Martial Arts Tournament to gather. At this time, they could not help but be surprised to see a young girl who was sixteen or seventeen years old had such strength.
“Ha ha ha, better than Videl.” Satan shouted happily.
Videl looked at the others as if nothing had happened and said to Satan, “Dad, it’s your turn.”
“Yes.”
Satan moved his wrist and took a deep breath. He shouted loudly and punched the human body testing instrument. With a bang, 2350 J s.
“Contestant Satan, 2350 J s, qualified!” The staff shouted again.
Satan laughed proudly. “What do you think of Dad, Videl? She’s not bad, is she?”
“Just show a little strength. You don’t have to use your full strength.” Videl said helplessly. Her father just liked to show off in front of others. It was just a preliminary selection for registration. Was there a need to be so flamboyant?
“Hahaha…” Satan, however, raised his head and laughed. He took the number plate from the staff and turned to go to the reserved hotel.
Videl sighed beside him and was about to leave as well. When he turned around, he did not notice and b.u.mped into a soft body. Videl hurriedly apologized, “Ah, I’m sorry. I didn’t hurt you, right?”
“Uh… I’m fine!”
A very gentle voice sounded. When Videl raised his head, he saw a girl with bright eyes and outstanding charm. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail, and her eyes were bright like the stars in the night sky.
This girl was so beautiful… Videl stared at her blankly and could not help but be stunned.
He suddenly remembered that it was rude to stare at her all the time, so he quickly stood aside and stopped blocking her way.
“Are you also here to partic.i.p.ate in the World Martial Arts Tournament?” Videl couldn’t help but ask. As soon as he spoke, he felt that it was unnecessary. Since the other party had come to the registration point, then he must have come to partic.i.p.ate.
“Yes, I came with a few friends.”
“My name is Videl.”
“My name is Son Hongye!”
The black-haired girl smiled beautifully and pulled the black-haired youth beside her. “This is my boyfriend, Ilk.” The youth standing next to Son Hongye was Ilk.
So she had a boyfriend…
For some reason, Videl suddenly felt a sense of loss. Even she felt it was strange.
Videl did not know that if Son Hongye was born as a man, he should have been her boyfriend, Son Gohan. But now, under all these changes, Son Hongye was not the Son Gohan like in the original work.
The fate between him and Videl in the original work naturally vanished.
Graceful and polite, he smiled at Son Hongye and the others. Videl was not in a hurry to go to the hotel, so she stood to the side and chatted with them. There were four people on the other side. In addition to Son Hongye and Elek, there was a teenager with light purple hair. His name was Son Goten. From the name, it was Son Hongye’s relative.
At this time, Son Goten was holding the hand of an orange-haired girl. It was his girlfriend Angela…
“Judging from your breathing, you must have been practicing martial arts since you were young, right?” Videl asked. A martial artist’s breathing had been specially trained, and their breathing and exhalation were very long, and they were more stable than ordinary people.
“Well, I practiced martial arts under the supervision of my family when I was very young. It was really not easy at that time.”
“I am the same, but I also persevered. I hope to meet you in the martial arts meeting later.”
“Then you have to be prepared. We are not weak.” Son Hongye gently combed her hair, her expression indifferent.
“When the time comes, let’s see the real move!”
Videl smiled. Because she had received training in the Divine Hall, her vision was very high. Although she could tell that Son Hongye and the others were not ordinary people, in her opinion, there should be very few young people who could withstand her attack.
“By the way, the deadline for registration is about to arrive. Are you still not going to sign up?” After chatting for a while, Videl asked.
“There are still a few people waiting for them to sign up together.”
“Oh.”
Not long after they finished speaking, a few more figures walked over. They were Muqiu, Lazuli, Amelia, Lapis and Android 18 ready to grab another bucket of gold on the Martial Arts Tournament. Only Android 18 was here to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion, Muqiu and the others were purely watching the show. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they walked towards the registration area.
“Videl, we will go register first. We will meet at the Martial Arts Tournament later.”
“En.” Videl stood there and watched Son Hongye and the others register. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the crowd suddenly let out a cry of alarm.
Not surprisingly, Son Hongye and Son Goten quickly caused a sensation in the pre-selection of the registration, and several people directed the power tester light as a feather, and directly hit the data.
“Son Hongye contestant, 5600J, qualified!”
“Son Goten contestant, 5700J, qualified!”
“Elek contestant, 6600J, …… qualified!” Even the staff member responsible for the record looked silly.
One by one, the number of people played an astonishing number, making the people who were preparing to sign up think that there was a problem with the instrument, and inserted other players in the middle. When several numbers were lower than 500 J in a row, everyone reacted. It was not that there was a problem with the instrument, but that the players in front were really powerful.
When it was Android 18’s turn, she frowned and did not know how much strength she should exert. After thinking for a while, she stretched out her finger and gently tapped on the testing instrument.
Clang!
“9999 J!”
“Hey, the strength is a bit too great!” Android 18 stretched out his finger and shook his head to look at everyone.
“Ama… amazing!” The staff member’s eyes were wide open.
“Contestant Lasuli, 99,999 J, qualified!”
Standing at the side, Videl looked at Son Hongye and the others with a shocked expression. It was as if a huge rock had been thrown down from the calm lake, creating a huge wave. “Where did Son Hongye and the others come from? Why are they so powerful?”
The words her teacher Ka.n.a.lita had said when she left the shrine suddenly appeared in her mind. So there were really so many experts in the lower realm.
