章節 228: Competition

Just like that, the date of the World Martial Arts Tournament gradually approached, and the participants from all over the world were making preparations to achieve good results in the competition.

Previously, in order to embellish the competition, the organizer had already released the news that Son Goku and the others were participating in the 26th World Martial Arts Tournament through various channels. This news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, and the entire world exploded.

Affected by this, the participants who signed up for this World Martial Arts Tournament this time suddenly increased several times, and the major media also kept a considerable amount of attention to the competition.

In order to catch a glimpse of the glory of the world's experts, there were already spectators from all over the world rushing to the place where the competition was being held.

...

The date of the competition had finally arrived.

Twelve Martial Arts City, Ayaka City, the 26th World Martial Arts Tournament after three years of separation had finally begun.

In the original work, the 24th World Martial Arts Tournament was held not long after Cell Game, and the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament was once terminated. It was only held seven years later. However, as Martial City launched the World Martial Tournament that was held once every three years, the World Martial Arts Tournament had already been combined with the World Martial Arts Tournament. Three years ago, the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament was held, and now it was the 26th.

Ayaka City was one of the twelve Martial Arts Cities. It had a unique advantage. With the prosperity of Martial Arts, these cities became the symbol of the world culture after a few years. Whether it was science, technology, or culture, they far surpassed other ordinary cities.

The downtown area was already crowded with people, and the traffic was heavy. The tourists who came and went stopped, and it was very lively. The merchants also used all their strength, hoping to win a big harvest in this event.

In the central square of Ayaka City, there was a huge statue that was more than a hundred meters tall. It looked like Ayaka, and there was a statue in the center of every city, but the images were different.

The venue of the conference was set off from the center of the city. In recent years, the number one martial arts conference that could see the world's powerhouses was also improving with the times. In addition to the wider martial arts temple and arena, there was also a huge circular viewing platform like the football field to allow the audience to watch the game better.

Of course, the transfer platform built for various media was also particularly eye-catching.

Beside the wide stone path, Vegeta and Piccolo arrived one after another. Not long after, Ayaka and the others also arrived.

"Ayaka, long time no see!" Seeing them, Bulma walked forward enthusiastically.

"Why hasn't Goku come yet? Could he have missed it?" Chi-Chi looked around but did not find Son Goku. He asked nervously. One had to know that the prize money for this competition was very generous. It would be a pity to miss it.

"Don't worry. I have informed them. They will definitely come."

Ayaka walked forward and touched Son Goten's head. He smiled and said, "Gohann is already so big. He looks exactly the same as Goku when he was young."

"Auntie!" Son Goku chuckled and ran to Trunks to play.

Ayaka looked at it quietly and couldn't help but think of the first time he met Son Goku. He was simple and cute.

At this time, the surrounding space distorted slightly. Ayaka smiled and said, "They are here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three figures appeared.

Ayaba's blood-red hair was particularly eye-catching. It was tied in a hairstyle that was similar to Ayaka's. A few strands of loose hair hung behind his head and fluttered freely like the wind of willow trees.

Bardock and Son Goku looked very similar, but the scar on his face made him more mature and masculine than Son Goku.

Vegeta first frowned in confusion, and then the indifferent expression on his face changed. He widened his eyes in disbelief, "You are Bardock. You are resurrected?"

Vegeta knew Bardock. This Low-Level Warrior relied on his own hard work. After experiencing life and death battles, he gradually became one of Vegeta's strongest warriors. At that time, it caused a great sensation. At the same time, he was also the idol of many Saiyan people.

Even King Vegeta had to admit that Bardock was a true warrior. Unfortunately, such a warrior eventually died in the battle against Frieza.

The person who had died a long time ago appeared in front of him. Vegeta was a little surprised, but when he thought of the ability of the dragon bead, he regained his calm.

A faint sense of oppression emitted from Bardock. Vegeta shivered and thought, "Bardock is definitely stronger than me!"

Saiyan valued his dignity very much. For this, he could abandon his life. Bardock's action of using his life to fight against Frieza was completely in line with Saiyan's style. Vegeta was extremely supportive of it. It was very difficult for him to hate a warrior who used his life to guard the dignity of Saiyan. Even if he knew that the other party was stronger than him, it was not unacceptable.

Besides, were there many Saiyan people above him? He was somewhat used to it.

"Goku, who is this?"

Those who didn't know the inside story naturally turned their eyes to Bardock.

"This is my father. He is very strong. Ayaba and I have been receiving my father's training for the past few years!" Son Goku explained with a smile.

Everyone was shocked. No wonder he looked so similar. So he was Son Goku's father! Soon, they thought of another important point. Goku and Ayaba were already so strong, but they still had to accept Bardock's training. How strong was this Goku's father?

"Could he be as strong as Ayaka?" Krillin couldn't help but guess and quickly shook his head. How could he be so strong?

Ayaka smiled and said, "When I first met Uncle Bardock, I didn't expect him to be so strong. I only took three moves from him and fell!"

"..."

"No way!" Krillin opened his mouth wide.

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air and pinched themselves. Was this a dream? Ayaka was a powerful existence that had defeated the azure -- Cell! Even she could not take three moves. How powerful was that?

They didn't know that Bardock had lived in hell for countless years. His strength had already reached the high level of Super Saiyan 3. It was already good enough that Ayaka, who was at the peak of Super Saiyan 2 at that time, was not killed in one move. However, that was all in the past. Ever since he came back from the ancient times, Ayaka's strength had also been incomparable. Now, she was even stronger than Bardock.

Vegeta was silent. It was as if there was a boulder pressing down on his chest, making him unable to breathe!

Even though he was extremely conceited, he had to admit that there was an insurmountable gap between him and Bardock at this time.

He thought to himself: "Kakarot and Ayaba have been trained by Bardock. They must have become stronger. Sigh, it seems that my training is not enough. I will let Bulma develop a new Gravity Chamber when we go back!"

As he thought of this, his body emitted a blazing fighting spirit, which attracted Bardock's attention.

"This is Prince Vegeta. He really has the pride of Saiyan!" Basdack Bardock secretly.

"Goten, long time no see!"

Son Goku squatted down and looked at the child who was almost the same as his childhood. He recognized him at a glance. When Son Goku left for hell, Son Goten was only three years old. Now he was seven years old.

Son Goten jumped up and hugged Son Goku tightly.

"Alright, let's not stand here and block the road." Ayaka said.

After more than three years, everyone had a lot to say, so they chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the place where the World Martial Arts Tournament would register.

The staff wearing monk clothing was holding a loudspeaker and calling for the contestants to sign up. Someone was holding a pen and paper under the pavilion next to them to record.

Because there were too many participants in this competition, the arena was divided into several parts, and the youth group, adult group, and Son Goku were divided into three categories.
