Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Chapter 192 Next time, perhaps you will be the champion

Each attack unleashed his full potential.

Satan put on a show of himself with all his might, and his extraordinary performance made him feel excited and like he had inexhaustible energy.

However, Talot stood there motionless, like a pillar of strength.

To an outsider, Satan seemed to have the upper hand, which led to the entire audience cheering and making a ruckus for him.

Outside the massive ring, the blond referee wasn't the type to be oblivious to the situation, but due to his profession, he had no choice but to commentate on the match in his own way.

For a long time, Talot did not fight back, but simply faced Satan.

Ultimately, this can be seen as giving the original author, the so-called savior of the world, some dignity.

A person like Satan would be completely unacceptable if he hadn't gotten involved with the Z Fighters and hadn't had his daughter marry the protagonist's son.

In other words, Satan's future setting is simply to alleviate the economic burden on the Sun family in the future.

You say he's not bad? He can't possibly not be bad, otherwise he would never have been able to hold onto the position of world champion, let alone savior.

But if you say he's good, then Satan is indeed the kind of person who cheats and deceives.

Of course, everyone talks about Satan, and everyone wants to be Satan.

After a frenzied barrage of attacks, Satan finally showed signs of exhaustion. He unleashed his last punch, followed by a series of backflips that created several meters of distance between him. Then, slightly agitated and panting, he finally broke free.

"H-how is it?" Satan's exaggerated appearance felt strangely familiar to Talot.

People who don't know him would really think he's amazing.

Talot remained unmoved and silent.

This left the Z Warriors waiting in the backstage area completely bewildered.

Logically speaking, this kind of stuff is nothing to Talot.

However, Talot did not knock him out of the ring immediately.

"Could it be that this person is special?" Sun Wukong curiously peeked out, but his sense of aura told him that he was not powerful at all.

No one responded to him, but the ordinary contestants on the other side were expressing their opinions, convinced that Satan had an absolute advantage from the beginning and that Satan would definitely win in the end.

How could they know that there are always people more capable than themselves, and that there is always something beyond their understanding?

Living in the world of ordinary people, even if they have the opportunity to come into contact with the highest levels, what they see is only what they can see.

……

Located on the top floor of the backstage waiting area.

This is the best spot to watch the game, and it's also the super VIP room that Bulma designed for herself.

At this moment, Bulma was here with her family and friends, watching the match unfold.

It's worth mentioning that Weiss is also here.

For the past year and a half, Weiss has frequently come to Earth to sample local delicacies, and over time they have naturally become familiar with each other.

The martial arts tournament was organized with Talot's help, who asked Weiss to provide protection for their matches by setting up a strong protective barrier around the arena. This was to ensure that they could fight to their full potential without being afraid of the impact of the battle.

"Honestly, why aren't you fighting back? Even if the other person is an ordinary person, why don't you just hit them?" Bulma was as impatient as ever, especially since she was pregnant. She would often shout out loud due to intense emotional fluctuations.

Talot didn't fight back or retaliate verbally in the ring, which made his wife very anxious.

Is Bulma pregnant?

That's right!

Just a few months ago, Bulma finally became pregnant with Tarot's child, and the baby is due in a little over three months.

"Mrs. Bulma should calm down. Excessive emotion can affect the child's development. I believe Talot must have something in mind for doing this. Or perhaps, Talot is very concerned about this contestant named Satan," Weiss said.

"I've never heard him mention Satan before," Bulma said suspiciously.

"Alright, alright, the result is definitely Tarot's win. Let's just sit here and watch quietly. No matter what happens, we'll find out in the end." Gine, holding Tarot in her arms, also tried to persuade Bulma not to overthink things.

"Speaking of which, I was surprised to see Lord Champa and my sister here as well," Weiss suddenly changed the subject.

These words startled everyone present.

Everyone knows who Champa is, and everyone knows who Weiss's sister is.

Following Weiss's gaze, sure enough, Champa and Bardos were sitting in a corner of the stands, watching the game while eating desserts.

"Should we have Lord Champa and your sister Whis come over here?" Bulma asked.

She has been constantly improving her ability to understand people's hearts; the more mature she becomes, the more composed she is in dealing with people and situations.

Weiss shook his head and said, "Since my elder sister hasn't come to find me, she probably doesn't want me to bother her. I believe she will come looking for me after the competition."

Bulma nodded slightly after hearing what Weiss said.

Since Weiss has already said that, if she were to forcefully invite him over, it would backfire.

……

On the arena.

Once Satan had finished resting and was no longer panting, Talot finally spoke his first words.

"I've already experienced your strength. I believe you should also feel the gap in strength between us. If you don't want to lose too badly and lose face, I think you can admit defeat now."

After speaking, Talot awaited Satan's reply.

Satan was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

Then his eyes changed, and his expression became extremely angry and resentful.

"Are you kidding me? I've had the upper hand from beginning to end. You think you can make me give up with just a few words? You think you're...?"

Before the word "who" could be uttered, Satan suddenly gasped.

Because Talot suddenly crossed the distance between them and appeared in front of him.

Although there was no attack, it startled him and made him retreat repeatedly.

"Go down. You can come to the next martial arts tournament. Maybe you'll be the champion then," Talot said, then flicked his finger.

The reason for saying this is that these people will not be among the participants in the next martial arts tournament.

An invisible aura shot out like a bullet, striking Satan and propelling him off the stage.

Satan wasn't seriously injured, but falling out of the ring meant he had already lost.

"This, this is an illusion? No, that's not right! What methods did you use?" Satan asked, puzzled.

Talot ignored him and glanced at the referee.

"In the first qualifying match, Satan was eliminated and Talot won. The first sixteen finalists of the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament have been officially determined."

When the results were announced, Talot smiled at them, turned and walked off the ring, ignoring the audience's personal attacks because they didn't understand, and headed towards the backstage waiting area.

Satan was still in a daze until the blond referee asked him several questions before he came to his senses and walked blankly to the backstage waiting area.

Others may not know, but he experienced it firsthand, so how could he not know what he had just gone through?

That was definitely not a trick; it was a real air cannon attack that knocked him out of the ring.

……

"They're really slow. Why not just take them out in a second?" Raditz, the second player to enter the arena, handed the baton to Talot.

"I just think this person is quite interesting, and his strength is pretty good among ordinary people. We can't just be so dismissive, right?" Talot said with a smile.

How could he possibly tell the truth?

"Is that so?" Raditz asked doubtfully, then heard shouts outside and walked out of the backstage area step by step.

Talot glanced at the others one by one, then looked at the dejected Satan and smiled slightly.

Talot suddenly had an idea: if he taught Satan his cultivation methods, could Satan become stronger?

Speaking of which, Satan is quite talented; otherwise, how could he have become such an absolute powerhouse among ordinary people?

This idea was quickly put out of Talot's mind.

He doesn't have the leisure to cultivate Satan.

On the other side, Satan returns, and Spoelstra enters the game.

The others were asking what exactly Satan was all about.

Satan couldn't explain his own experience either, only that he had been careless and accidentally fell out of the ring.

But who can believe that?

Some people even suspected that Satan was exposing frauds and deliberately withdrew from the ring.

After all, there's a distance of ten or twenty meters between them. How could someone accidentally fall off the ring?

Just as these people were protesting, Spoelstra was also knocked out of the ring by Raditz with a flick of his finger, shocking everyone.

It didn't even take a minute; he only spent a few seconds on the stage. For ordinary people, that's incredible.

Raditz returned and handed over to Serarri, who was the third player to enter the court. Yamu frowned as he looked at Spopich, who seemed to have returned in a daze, just like Satan. He wanted to ask what was going on, but there was no time left.

And so, the third match ended in the blink of an eye, just like always.

This situation drew a barrage of criticism from countless viewers.

Everyone comes here to watch exciting and thrilling matches, who wants to watch this kind of game?

Obviously, three matches like this in a row would seem very fake to anyone who watched them.

Many people even believe that this was a scheme deliberately orchestrated by the authorities to make money.

Fortunately, the fourth match was a duel between Goku and Chi-Chi.

This can be considered a slight turn of the tide, after all, Sun Wukong was the champion of the previous World Martial Arts Tournament.

The championship is incredibly prestigious. Even though the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament wasn't as memorable as the original story—after all, the Piccolo Daimaō incident was forcibly resolved by Master Roshi—many people still remember the competition, and some videos have been recorded.

Only three years have passed since then, so unlike in the later years of the original story, the new generation has not forgotten how great the martial arts masters were due to the decline of the older generation.

Standing on the arena, Sun Wukong faced Chi-Chi, still puzzled as to what was wrong with this girl.

She wanted to ask again, but because she hadn't recognized him yet, Qiqi became even angrier.

The relentless and fierce attacks were dazzling; the martial arts skills displayed on the surface alone were far beyond what ordinary people could achieve.

In fact, Kiki in the original work was already quite powerful, with a total of 130 points.

And now, Qiqi's combat power is as high as 200 points, probably due to the butterfly effect.

Indeed, 200 points of combat power is insignificant to the current Z Fighters, but that strength is enough to dominate the ordinary world of Earth.

While dealing with the situation, Sun Wukong was also carefully recalling and thinking.

The difference in strength was simply too great, so no matter what kind of attack Chi-Chi launched, Goku could easily neutralize it.

Then, because she couldn't win, Kiki collapsed to the ground and started crying.

Sun Wukong had never seen anything like this before. He was completely dumbfounded.

However, he wasn't the kind of person to take advantage of someone in distress. After showing concern, he finally learned Qiqi's name and background through questioning.

Only then did I realize that she was the daughter of the Bull Demon King.

Master Roshi, Gohan, and the others were all incredulous upon hearing the news.

But now that things have come to this, they are unusually happy.

There's actually a past between Son Goku and Chi-Chi, and Goku, just like in the original story, said he would marry Chi-Chi when he grew up.

Even now, Sun Wukong still doesn't quite understand what his wife means.

After the fourth match, Sun Wukong won the heart of the beauty, and the whole audience cheered.

In fact, those who know the inside story understand that Chi-Chi must have schemed against Sun Wukong, because Sun Wukong really doesn't have that kind of cunning.

It's consistent with the original storyline, and nothing unexpected happened.

When Sun Wukong brought Chi-Chi back to the backstage waiting area, a crowd gathered around, first congratulating them, then expressing their envy.

Especially Klin and Yamcha.

Yamcha recalled his early experiences, including his participation in the adventure to find the Dragon Balls. It was during that transformation that he became who he is today, so it was natural for him to feel nostalgic.

The happiest person present was none other than Raditz.

As the eldest brother, the fact that his younger brother has found his other half means that their family will have another member from now on.

Seeing such a harmonious scene, Talot couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Sensing Talott's change in mood, Serari reached out and took his arm.

Feeling the soft, warm touch, Talot looked down at Serari and smiled.

The following matches were the most ordinary of all.

The werewolf versus the masked player—this match might seem decent to ordinary people, but to the strong, it's just child's play.

The werewolf won. After losing in the previous martial arts tournament, he must have put in a lot of effort and his strength has increased by at least double.

Then it was Chopper King versus Little Flying Man. Chopper King won with Eight Hands Fist. Little Flying Man was lucky, otherwise he probably wouldn't have even made it to the preliminaries. Of course, being able to make it to the preliminaries is enough to show that he is quite strong, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to score more than 100.
