Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Today, West City Stadium was packed with spectators as the World Martial Arts Tournament officially began.
Walking through the streets, Android 18 held onto Karan’s arm.
After spending the last ten days together, eating, drinking, and having fun, she had long since dropped her cold and reserved attitude.
Today, she wore a stylish outfit that highlighted her beautiful figure.
As they walked, she deliberately pressed close to Karan and smiled.
“Do we really have to fight in this tournament?”
“Why not?”
Feeling the softness of her embrace, Karan grinned.
“I heard first place comes with a prize of one hundred million zeni.
We can’t keep running away from restaurant owners after eating for free every day.”
Of course, what he truly cared about was the Time-Skip reward.
Money itself meant nothing.
“One hundred million zeni?”
Android 18’s eyes immediately lit up.
“I’m joining too!”
“With that kind of money, I can buy all the clothes I want.”
She had already grown tired of amusement parks and shopping.
Getting on the ring and stretching her muscles sounded pretty fun.
“Let’s go.”
Karan wrapped an arm around her waist and flew into the sky.
Finding the stadium was easy.
All he had to do was follow Goku and the others’ ki.
Two minutes later, they arrived.
“Yo!
You finally showed up!”
Goku immediately waved excitedly.
Among everyone present, the person he wanted to fight most was Karan.
Nearby, Trunks felt uneasy as he looked at Android 18.
Compared to the murderous Android 18 from his future timeline, the woman standing before him seemed like a completely different person.
“So eager to get beaten up?” Karan joked.
Looking around, he found Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Trunks, and Krillin already waiting.
Vegeta stood in the corner with his arms crossed.
The moment he saw Karan, he snorted and turned his head away.
“This guy really knows how to talk big,” Piccolo muttered.
“Hehe!
We’ve all trained hard these past ten days.
It won’t be easy for you to beat us now!” Goku said confidently.
Turning toward Android 18, he asked, “You’re participating too?”
Android 18 rolled her eyes.
“Of course.
I don’t care about killing anyone anymore, but once we’re on the stage, I won’t go easy on you.”
“Haha!
Great!”
Goku laughed happily.
Karan couldn’t be bothered with unnecessary chatter.
“Come on.
Time to register.”
Half an hour later, the World Martial Arts Tournament officially began.
Standing on the ring, the announcer shouted excitedly into the microphone.
“Ladies and gentlemen!”
“The World Martial Arts Tournament, sponsored by West City’s richest man, Mr.
Qian Duoduo, is about to begin!”
“This year’s tournament has attracted 318 contestants!”
“Because of the large number of participants, the rules have changed.”
“It will be a battle royale!”
“The last person standing will become the champion!”
The audience erupted in excitement.
“All contestants, please enter the ring!”
One figure after another leaped onto the platform.
Soon, the massive ring became crowded.
“There are way too many people…”
Krillin looked around nervously.
“With monsters like you guys around, I’m obviously just here to make up the numbers.”
“Don’t give up, Krillin!”
Goku patted his shoulder.
“Maybe you’ll survive to the end and become champion!”
With that, he jumped onto the ring.
“Let’s go.”
Karan and Android 18 followed.
More than three hundred contestants stood shoulder to shoulder.
Android 18 simply leaned against Karan and allowed him to wrap an arm around her waist.
“Everyone is ready!”
“The match begins!”
Suddenly, an explosive roar echoed.
“Haa!”
A violent wave of ki swept across the arena.
Ordinary martial artists were blown away like leaves in a storm.
Screams filled the air as countless contestants flew off the ring.
Goku covered his face helplessly.
“Vegeta really has no patience.”
Vegeta stood proudly as his aura surged.
Almost ninety percent of the contestants had been eliminated instantly.
Only the true experts remained standing.
“This eternal runner-up finally did something useful and cleared away all the extras,” Karan said with a chuckle.
The Z Fighters remained completely unaffected.
“W-What happened?”
The announcer rubbed his eyes.
“Only thirteen contestants remain!”
The entire stadium fell silent.
Goku stepped forward.
His goal had always been Karan.
“Kakarot, get out of my way!”
Vegeta stepped forward and blocked him.
“He belongs to me!”
After suffering a humiliating defeat ten days ago, he had returned to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and trained relentlessly.
Today, he intended to reclaim his pride.
“Hey!
Be reasonable!”
Goku looked dissatisfied.
“I invited him.”
“Shut up!”
Ignoring Goku, Vegeta pointed arrogantly at himself and glared at Karan.
“Brat, prepare yourself!”
“Today I’m going to knock your teeth out!”
Watching Vegeta’s confident attitude, Karan shook his head.
This guy truly had unbelievable confidence.
He hadn’t even reached Super Saiyan 2, yet he was acting like the strongest person alive.
“Enough arguing.”
Karan’s tone remained calm.
“Both of you can come at me together.”
“I don’t want to waste time.”
Android 18 smiled as she leaned comfortably against him.
Meanwhile, Goku’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
Vegeta grinned fiercely.
Neither of them realized that Karan had come to this tournament for one reason only.
He wanted the championship.
And no one was going to stand in his way.
