Ranfan turned around, blinked her seductive big eyes at Neo, and giggled, "It seems my opponent is you, handsome! You must go easy on me later~"
Neo glanced at her and couldn't be bothered to respond; this woman was really putting on an act.
The host continued calling out names, and Jackie Chun and the others all drew their respective numbers. Soon, the matchup list was released.
Match 1: Neo VS Ranfan.
Match 2: Krillin VS Namu.
Match 3: Son Goku VS Giran.
Match 4: Jackie Chun VS Yamcha.
Looking at the matchup list in front of him, which was slightly different from the original work, Neo knew that with his arrival, the plot had already begun to deviate.
However, Yamcha was still as unlucky as ever, running into Jackie Chun in the first round, destined for a first-round exit. He wanted to find Son Goku for revenge, but it seemed hopeless—though even if he did run into him, it would still be hopeless.
The young, handsome host holding a microphone and wearing sunglasses walked onto the ring, "Audience members who have traveled from afar, thanks for waiting. The first match is between contestant Neo and contestant Ranfan!"
In the front row of the audience seats directly facing the ring, Bulma immediately shouted out loud, "Wa~ The first match is Linzhou! Linzhou! Go for it!"
The host continued, "In addition, the championship prize for this tournament is 500,000 zeni. Before the match begins, let us invite the curator of the Martial Arts Temple to say a few words!"
"500,000? Is it really that little?" Hearing about the prize money, Neo was a bit surprised. "In the original work, was Son Goku's prize money for his first participation only this much?"
Things were too far back, and he didn't remember very clearly. Perhaps the current World Martial Arts Tournament wasn't very popular yet, so the prize money wasn't very high. After Son Goku and the others participated and the World Martial Arts Tournament became hugely popular, the prize money must have increased, right?
However, he didn't care much about the amount of prize money; he mainly came to win the championship to boost his fame. Otherwise, with his battle power of over 3,000 points now, he wouldn't even bother participating in this childish game.
Indeed, with his current strength, this tournament was merely at the level of children playing house.
After all, he didn't have a job and was freeloading at Bulma's house. In order not to be looked down upon by Bulma's parents, he came to participate in this World Martial Arts Tournament.
After all, having the title of the world's number one martial artist wasn't just embarrassing to speak of—it was extremely prestigious.
Just then, the curator of the Martial Arts Temple slowly walked onto the stage. It was a somewhat senile dog-headed person. After taking the microphone, it let out a "woof" at the camera, handed the microphone back, and silently turned and left.
This scene left many viewers speechless with a look of speechlessness. Was this curator here to be a comedian?
The host, with a respectful and deadpan expression, picked up the microphone and said, "Thank you, curator!"
Saying this, he straightened his body and shouted with immense passion, "The first match begins now! Let us invite the two contestants to the stage!"
In the contestant room, Son Goku immediately shouted loudly, "Big Brother Neo! Go for it! You must win!"
Krillin immediately retorted, "Aren't you just stating the obvious? Ever since Big Brother Neo advanced, which contestant has been able to take a single hit from him?"
Neo waved his hand to signal and walked toward the ring.
As Neo and Ranfan entered the arena together, intense cheers immediately erupted from the scene.
Ranfan looked at Neo opposite her and cast a flirtatious wink, "Handsome, you must go easy on me~" Saying that, she actually started applying lipstick right there on the spot.
Neo was speechless. This woman was really making a fuss! He really wanted to kick her down with one foot; pulling stunts like this right on the ring.
The host continued loudly and passionately, "Audience members, the match is about to begin! Falling out of the ring counts as a loss, surrendering counts as a loss, and failing to get up within ten seconds after falling to the ground also counts as a loss. There is no time limit for the match. Now, the first match officially begins!"
Hearing this, Ranfan cast another wink at Neo, and her expression instantly changed. She flew up and kicked directly toward Neo with a flying kick. The speed of her face-changing was faster than turning a book.
Seeing this, Neo couldn't even be bothered to look more. In an instant, he grabbed her ankle and casually tossed her. With a bang, Ranfan was thrown directly out of the ring, slammed into a wall, fell to the ground with stars spinning in her eyes, and passed out.
Seeing this, the host immediately exclaimed loudly, "Wa! One move! Another one move! Up until now, not a single contestant has been a match for contestant Neo even for a single exchange! Too strong! Truly too strong! Could the champion of this tournament be him? How exciting! But here, we still want to congratulate contestant Neo on winning the first match! What a flying start!"
"Hmm~ This kid really doesn't know how to cherish jade at all!" Standing in the contestant area and watching the scene before him, Jackie Chun shook his head while feeling extremely anxious inside. "This is bad! Extremely bad! This kid looks a bit formidable! Will this old man capsize in the gutter this time? Originally, participating was just to tell Goku that there are people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens in this world, and not to be arrogant and complacent. Now it seems this old man might lose his reputation in my twilight years! I was careless! I really shouldn't have signed up! Is it still too late to withdraw from the match?"
"Wa~ Linzhou! You are so handsome!"
Seeing Neo defeat the enemy in such a handsome, single move, Bulma let out another infatuated scream.
Mrs. Brief, on the other hand, wore an elegant and smiling expression, not screaming and shouting like her.
Stepping out of the ring and returning to the contestant room, Son Goku and Krillin immediately rushed up to greet him. Son Goku had an excited expression on his face, "Big Brother Neo! You are really amazing! I'm really looking forward to fighting you!"
"Me too." Saying that on the lips, Neo was not thinking that way in his heart. Son Goku was indeed very strong compared to others right now, but facing him with a battle power of over 3,000, he was still too weak.
After all, he was someone who had trained bitterly in the gravity room. At first, his progress wasn't very large, but once he got used to the gravity of the gravity room, as the gravity doubled, he found that his combat power was increasing faster and faster. The potential of a Saiyan had been completely stimulated under his crazy cultivation.
Neo was confident that as long as he went to train in the gravity room for a bit longer, his combat power would definitely break 10,000. By then, he could truly walk sideways across Earth.
"Now, let's invite the contestants for the second match: Contestant Krillin and Contestant Namu to enter the arena!"
Hearing this, the expression on Namu's face instantly became extremely solemn and serious as he silently walked toward the ring...
Meanwhile, Jackie Chun looked at Namu's departing back, revealing a pensive expression.
Seeing this scene, Neo suddenly remembered that this old pervert apparently had mind-reading capabilities. He must have read Namu's inner thoughts, which explained why he showed that 'I see' expression.
This move was pretty awesome! He should go learn it when he had some free time.
