The Legend of the Strongest Saiyan

Chapter 204 Assembling the Contestants

Goku and Vegeta returned to Earth and sensed that Gohan and Piccolo's ki were together, so they decided to meet them first.

"Ha! Da da da da da!"

Piccolo swung his arm and deflected Gohan's continuous Ki Blasts. The next moment, Piccolo dodged and followed up, but Gohan reacted quickly and threw a punch.

"Clone?"

Gohan's attack missed, and Piccolo instantly transformed into several figures, surrounding Gohan.

"Devil Penetrating Light Killing Cannon!"

Just as a dozen or so Special Beam Cannons were about to hit Gohan, a golden light flashed, and Gohan, transformed into a Super Saiyan, unleashed his power to block Piccolo's attack.

"Uncle Piccolo, you're really rude. I'm not your enemy, yet you hit me so hard," Gohan said with a reproachful tone.

Piccolo smiled slightly: "Gohan, you've finally stopped focusing solely on your studies. Your strength hasn't regressed; in fact, it's improved."

"It's all because of Frieza's attack last time. If Dad and the others hadn't come back in time, Earth probably wouldn't have survived. I really don't know how Frieza trained. His power now is much stronger than Dad's Super Saiyan 5 back then."

Gohan clenched his fists as he recalled the helplessness he felt when facing Black Gold Frieza in his Beast Mode.

Piccolo, seeing that Gohan was still troubled by his loss to Frieza, comforted him: "Gohan, I remember telling you that as long as you are willing to train wholeheartedly, your achievements will definitely surpass those of Goku and Vegeta, even though their new transformations are more unfathomable than the original Super Saiyan 6."

"But you have also forged your own path of evolution. Cultivate diligently, and as long as you are determined, you will be the strongest!"

Piccolo spent just as much time with Gohan as he did with Goku, and perhaps even more, so he understood Gohan's talent very well.

In order to fight Cell, he spent a year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber learning Super Saiyan 2.

Later, through the ritual of the Super Saiyan God, he transformed into Super Saiyan Red.

Having not trained for a long time, he was forced to take action recently due to Frieza's invasion. In extreme anger, he transformed into a beast and his strength reached the level of Super Saiyan 5.

All of this demonstrates that Son Gohan possesses talent no less than that of the legendary Super Saiyan Broly.

"I understand. Uncle Bick, I will make sure I don't neglect my training, in addition to my studies."

Piccolo, upon hearing Gohan's reply, understood that the boy still hadn't fully focused on training. However, this was in line with Gohan's personality; after all, he wasn't a pure-blooded Saiyan like Goku or Vegeta, whose only interests were fighting and eating.

After their cultivation phase ended, the two sat on the mountaintop chatting about trivial matters.

Besides their cultivation, the two also shared a common interest in Xiao Fang.

Just as the two had agreed to pick Xiaofang up from school together today, a familiar voice rang out.

"Hey! Piccolo, Gohan, long time no see. Looks like you two just finished training."

Sun Wukong chuckled and greeted the two with a grin, while Vegeta nodded in response to their gaze.

Piccolo stood up and looked at the two Saiyans, puzzled. In his understanding, these two usually wouldn't take the initiative to approach him.

"You wouldn't come to our temple without a reason. Does Old Sun have something important that you need us to do?"

“Bick, you’re as perceptive as ever. You guessed it before I even said it.”

"Alright, tell me what happened that made you and Vegeta come to find me and Gohan."

"That's right, when we were competing against Universe 6, didn't Zeno come?"

“I told him that we could hold a universe-wide tournament, and the Omni-King agreed. There’s only one month left before the tournament starts, and each universe needs nine contestants.”

"Nine contestants, so you've come to invite us to participate?"

"There are twelve universes. Dad, we have to fight eleven universes to win. Won't the losing universes be punished?"

Vegeta chimed in, "We don't know what will happen if we fail, but the winner will be rewarded with the chance to make a wish with the Super Dragon Balls. And your opponent won't be someone who defeats the other universes, but someone who defeats me and Kakarot."

"what!"

Gohan and Piccolo stared in disbelief for a moment after hearing what Vegeta had said.

"Twelve universes to deal with Dad and Uncle Vegeta?"

Piccolo quickly came to his senses: "Indeed, the two of you are strong enough to easily defeat even a God of Destruction. Although I don't know about the situation in other universes, just based on the distribution of strong individuals in Universe 6, even the strongest assassin, Hit, is no match for Super Saiyan 5 at full power. The strongest individuals in other universes would also be unable to easily defeat a God of Destruction."

"The opponents are Dad and Uncle Vegeta, which makes sense. But Dad, are you really confident? They are the strongest in the twelve universes."

"Not only are there nine of the strongest fighters from each of the twelve universes, but also ten fighters from each universe, including the God of Destruction, so you don't have to worry about not having a chance to defeat me and Kakarot."

Piccolo exclaimed in shock, "The God of Destruction is also participating!"

Sun Wukong said with great fighting spirit, "Yes, this match will definitely allow my White God form to advance further."

"Alright, Gohan, Piccolo, you guys will participate, right?"

“Of course I have no problem,” Bick said.

Son Gohan hesitated and said, "I don't have any academic plans for that day, so I'll participate in the competition."

"Gohan? You're still hesitating about the date?" Vegeta looked at Gohan, who was scratching his head, with a disgruntled expression.

Hearing Vegeta's displeased tone, Gohan tried to ease the tension: "Uncle Vegeta, I will do my best to participate in the competition."

"Yes, Gohan and Piccolo have agreed. Now we need seven more people. Who should we choose?"

Bick replied, "Xie Yi definitely needs to participate."

"Oh! That's right!" Sun Wukong suddenly realized, "I've already sensed Xie Yi's aura. It seems he's still on Earth."

Sun Wukong and Vegeta were unaware that Xie Yi had left Earth for a period of time, because they spent most of their time training in the God of Destruction Realm.

"Vegeta, let's go talk to Xie Yi about the match."

Vegeta smiled confidently: "If you're asking who can still make me use my full strength, besides you, Kakarot, it's only Xie Yi."

“Let’s go together,” Piccolo said, looking at Gohan.

Son Gohan nodded in response, and then the four of them flew together to Miracle Island.
