Chapter 630: Videl’s wish
Chapter 630: Videl’s wish
Competition Hall, outdoor plaza.
The eight huge arenas were lined up in a row. Looking from a distance, they looked like 8 pieces of squarely cut tofu, presented in front of tens of thousands of spectators. At this time, the audience seats built on the mountain slope were already packed with people. They were shouting and cheering for the contestants they were supporting. The fan effect of martial artists is not worse than that of big-name celebrities.
At this time, the sound of a gong rang out.
The selection for the top eight began.
All the contestants walked over and stood in front of their arena according to the arrangement by the lots that were drawn before. Next, they will have a fierce battle to determine the top eight.
The World Martial Arts Tournament has grown to the 27th edition, and the staff members and the scale have been gradually improved. In addition, it did not stop being held like in the original work, so the grand occasion can be described as unprecedentedly vast. Also, there is no lack of martial arts instructors and other high-level martial arts experts among the spectators. They all came to watch the tournament with sharp eyes.
In the middle of the audience seats, in a reserved luxurious room.
Xiaya and others were sitting leisurely on sofas, looking at the scene below through the observation tower. They could see all the matches happening in the eight huge arenas.
Eating the fruits on the table, Xiling nodded: “Earthlings have gotten much stronger than when we had first arrived on Earth.”
“Because the times are advancing.” Launch has changed into soft blue hair.
“Earthlings are now above the passing line. You know the average value throughout the entire universe is below 5!”
Xiaya was shocked when he first learned about this. After all this time, the earthlings with mere 5 Battle Power are actually not the weakest. There are too many habitable planets throughout Universe 7, and even more people are weaker than earthlings. With such a low ceiling, the average value of Universe 7 has dropped to a shocking level.
Xiling and others’ Battle Power is very high, right? Their Battle Power is in the tens of billions, but on a slightly larger habitable planet, the people living on it will pull down their Battle Power below 5, and unfortunately, there are many such planets.
Perhaps it is some kind of law to have fewer strong people. Often races with high Battle Power do not usually have many people. Frost Demons are extremely talented, but their number can be counted in single digits. The current Saiyans are also very powerful, however, their numbers are only a few hundred thousand. But the races with Battle Power in single-digit are easily tens of billions or even hundreds of billions!
How to even it out? A low-level habitable planet can pull the high-end Battle Power to a very low level.
To judge if a universe is successful or not, its total strength is an important factor. This total strength… is reflected by the average value of the universe’s combat strength.
In the universe, all aliens with more than 10,000 Battle Power can dominate a region from which it can be seen that the universe still has mostly ordinary people. It’s not that just one or two experts can get the ranking up, it can only be done by having many with peak combat strength, otherwise, a failed universe will be a failed universe.
Facing Universe 7’s situation, even God of Destruction Beerus is desperate!
Returning to the present, the matches of the martial arts tournament were still going on.
Compared with the fierce fights in other arenas, fighting back and forth, every time 18 takes the stage, it is much simpler. When the referee had just announced the start, the opponent either fell to the ground and fainted, or fell out of the arena. It never took more than two seconds, making the referee very helpless.
“That girl is so powerful!”
“She is so beautiful, but she looks quite familiar.”
“Idiot, she appeared during the Cell Games. I remember seeing her in the video recording.”
“Yes, no wonder she’s so powerful!”
The crowd was buzzing with excitement. After knowing that 18 had participated in the Cell Games, the admiration for her suddenly surged high, and they were more and more looking forward to the next match.
“Such a powerful young lady. She also participated in the Cell Games four years ago just like dad.”
Videl’s eyes shone with admiration. She was still young four years ago and didn’t understand the importance of Cell Games, but as she grew, Videl began to understand the importance of Cell Games.
It was a battle concerning the life and death of earthlings, and this young lady in front of her, just like her father, was qualified to participate in that historic battle.
“Maybe, this young lady is as powerful as Dad.” Videl thought with envy.
At this time, the blonde-haired host quietly ran over to 18: “Miss Lazuli, can you decrease your speed a little, the audience can’t see you and there’s also not enough time to show it on the big display screen.”
“During quarterfinal matches, I will decrease my speed, but you have to increase the prize money…” 18 tsked uncaringly.
The blond-haired host was taken aback for a moment before saying: “The prize money is okay. As long as you can show a wonderful match to everyone, I can apply to it. I think the organizer will be willing to do it with your reputation.”
It’s known that she is also the savior of Earth. Although she is usually not on Earth, she has a close relationship with Mr. Goku and the others.
“Then, okay.” Hearing that the prize money will be increased, 18 beamed with joy.
Don’t know why 18 is so obsessed with the prize money.
The matches continued. The selection of the top-eight only lasted one morning, and the results came out. In the end, 18, Satan, and Videl all entered the top-eight without any question, and the other five were young experts who have emerged in recent years.
“Videl, the quarter-finals will begin in the afternoon. How is the training of the Energy Wave that I taught you?” At lunch, Satan asked Videl.
Videl replied earnestly: “I have mastered it, but my Ki is not enough. I can only shoot one Energy Wave.”
“Not bad. This is something only real martial artists can master. I think you can challenge Korin Tower or become an apprentice of the experts in charge of the other nine sacred lands.”
Satan knows what he is capable of. Although he isn’t too bad, he is still far behind compared to the real legendary martial artists. Videl is very talented, so it’s all the more reason that she gets apprenticed to a famous teacher.
“Dad, I want to take Mr. Goku as my master.”
Videl told him her wish.
The legendary story of Goku and his wife Bulma has been circulating all over the world through novels and TV dramas, and many people admire Goku from the bottom of their hearts. But Goku lives on Mount Paozu in Goku City all year round and many people want to take him as master, but over the years, Goku has never accepted disciples besides giving pointers to some people regularly at his martial arts dojo.
“Mr. Goku!” Satan muttered.
He and Goku are considered to have a bit of interaction. For the sake of his daughter’s future, he can sacrifice his dignity and beg him.
……
The quarter-finals began in the afternoon. So that the host would increase the prize money, 18 really slowed down her attack speed. Although she still looked blurry to the naked eyes, the blurriness of it made the audience enjoy it even more.
Because the speed is too fast, the audience has no idea what is going on, and too slow, it seems to lack impact. That vague and plausible feeling can stimulate people’s curiosity even more.
“What’s the matter with Lazuli? Why is she getting slow?” Myers asked while furrowing her eyebrows.
“I heard it was for extra prize money.” Blue-haired Launch tilted her head and said.
Hearing that, Xiaya couldn’t help but smile and shook his head helplessly, but since she likes it, let her have fun. Anyway, the strength shown by 18 is enough to shock everyone.
