Chapter 10: The Absolute Victors
The real name of the 'Pseudo World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament' held in this Dragon Ball world is the 'Golden Martial Arts Tournament', which is a martial arts tournament funded by a weapons development group, and the finals will begin in three days.
The city is the final division of the competition, and if there is a winner here, the winner will advance directly to the finals.
In order to save time, Gu Wu and Altai did not choose to rest after booking a room, but walked directly towards the venue according to the innkeeper's prompts.
On the way to the venue, Gu Wu, who was holding a newspaper in his hand, read it, because it had the introduction of the 'Golden Martial Arts Society' written on it.
"The organization that holds this martial arts association is called the 'Bamut Advanced Equipment Development Society', and they are developing weapons for some countries to quell wars on the one hand, and civilian equipment on the other hand, such as exoskeletons and light mechas."
"Sure enough, as I said before, the worldview of this plane is very chaotic, so there are quaint-looking facilities and high-tech technology."
Altaïr is right about this, the world view of "Dragon Ball" can be said to be very loose, like countless planes stacked together, but the core is adventure, hot-blooded comics, it actually doesn't need so much cumbersomeness.
The growth of the protagonist, the strength of the enemy, and the wonderful battles, as long as these things can be portrayed well, the worldview is the secondary of the secondary.
However, Gu Wu believes that Altaïr is not concerned with this aspect of the problem, but because a clear worldview can make people better grasp the current situation.
After all, I don't know what the tech tree in this world is, but maybe the seemingly ordinary guy actually has the ability to explode nuclear......
"The next thing is the process and rules of the competition - the company referred to as 'Bamut Society' will arrange some 'gatekeepers' using their company's equipment in the sub-competition area and the final area, so if the contestants want to qualify for the final finals, in addition to competing against other participants, they must also defeat those 'gatekeepers'."
"Then the 'gatekeeper' mentioned above is the 'model' of the 'Bamut Club' that shows his goods, right?"
"That's right, let those 'gatekeepers' defeat the elite martial artists who come to challenge them, so as to prove and promote their products, but I think there are definitely powerful characters who can defeat those 'gatekeepers'."
"That's why Bamut Club has set up 'gatekeepers' in both the division and the final area...... If the 'goalkeepers' of the divisions win by a big win, they can boast, and if they fail, there are the 'goalkeepers' of the finals. ”
This is indeed a routine, but Gu Wu thinks that the Bamut Club is dying, and he doesn't understand what a powerful enemy there is in this world.
"There are a total of nine divisions, and each division will decide three winners, and then add the three 'gatekeepers' of the final region who have already qualified to participate, a total of 30 people."
"Thirty people, it seems that the competition will be fierce."
"Who knows, even if this 'Golden Martial Arts Society' has attention, it won't necessarily attract strong people."
If you want to ask Gu Wu why he said this, it is because he thinks that this is a commercial competition, and interested martial artists may not necessarily come to participate.
Continuing to look below the newspaper, the history of the company called 'Bamut Society' begins below, the reasons for its creation, its presidents, etc., as well as the equipment and weapons they developed.
And at the bottom of the line, there is an enlarged text that reads "Tournament Prize: 30 Million Jenny", so it can be understood that the prize money is 30 million yen.
Gu Wu is not interested in money now, he is only interested in the plot of this world and the Frieza of this world, if he can learn this information, he is willing to pay enough money.
Speaking of which, Gu Wuzheng was planning to use the money to hire some people to do things for himself, so he decided to go first to see if he could sign up for the 'Golden Martial Arts Association', after all, there was a possibility of useful information there.
The city's sub-division was set up in the center of the city, and on the way, the two saw a lot of floating cars and motorboats floating in the air.
Even if its worldview is confusing, it looks extraordinarily interesting.
Several young children stand on street corners and fight each other, seemingly mimicking the movements of martial artists, using branches or ropes as weapons.
A group of grumpy youths shouted as they walked, holding the same things in their hands as they were tickets.
"I bought the big guy this time! He's sure to win! ”
Hearing them say this, Gu Wu understood the reason for their irritability.
It's not uncommon for a tournament like the Budokai to have a betting game where the winner is guessed.
"Miss Altair, shall we sign up together?"
"No problem, I also want to see how strong the people in this world are."
"Hopefully not to be assigned together."
"There are three places in total, and maybe there is the possibility of a repechage, or it is a point system."
"That's unlikely."
Gu Wu handed the newspaper to Altair.
"The final will start in three days, and the competition here is expected to last only one day, and it will be a single-elimination format, otherwise there will be no time at all."
"It depends on the situation, anyway, it's mainly to collect intelligence, and if you can't use some special means, anyway, your power can exert a more powerful effect than the current me."
"Then it depends on the situation."
Throwing newspapers into passing garbage cans, passing through crowds and lively neighborhoods, arriving at the venue was already seeing a constant stream of people pouring into the audience.
Where is the registration office? The puzzled Gu Wu was grabbed by Altair, and then the girl used her ability a little to carve out a path through the crowd and move towards the area ahead.
The two quickly made their way through the crowd vertically and saw a special entrance, which was closed by staff dressed in the style of security uniforms.
"Hello, we're going to sign up for the competition."
"Sign up? You have to apply at least a day in advance, do you think we're here to come in and out casually? ”
"This is the registration fee, do you think you can be accommodating?"
"This is ......"
Looking at the jewelry in Gu Wu's hand, the other party took it and looked around.
"I still have to go and see if the players in it are full, after all, the company has ......"
"It's a nuisance."
Boom!
The invisible impact landed on the back of the opponent's neck, and after Altaïr's attack was over, Gu Wu walked in to support the staff who fell to the ground immediately, and then got the key from him.
Entering the special passage while no one was paying attention, and coming to the inside of the venue along the corridor that was not too long, Gu Wu threw the unconscious staff in the toilet on the way, and at the same time put valuable jewelry in front of him, if this guy woke up and was going to talk some nonsense, he himself should understand what the consequences were.
Using the key to open the iron door that connects to the internal road, he encounters several uniformed employees.
After about two hundred meters of progress, the space became a little wider and much brighter than the passage.
This is a hall with a lot of participants who are getting ready, and this hall is connected to smaller rooms for participants to rest.
Each participant has a number on them, and the largest number Gu Wu saw was ninety-seven, and he didn't know if there was anyone behind.
Although the two of them did not have numbered plates, Gu Wu used a little trick to get the numbered plates after discovering that some participants went to the toilet, and most of the original participants had been sent to another city by Frieza's doppelganger.
"Twenty minutes to go! Get ready! ”
The staff came out to remind everyone, and Gu Wu, who got the No. 27 plate, and Altaïr, who got the No. 89 plate, glanced at each other and temporarily acted separately.
————
Gu Wu, who pretended to be a participant, ran to the organizer's reception and got the list of people, a total of 100 people, and he didn't see any familiar characters in it, they were all a group of unfamiliar characters.
When Gu Wu asked about the list of finalists, he was told by the other party that it would be announced tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so Gu Wu thought about whether to inquire about the information.
The problem is that some characters may use fake names, and you can only be sure when you meet them.
Giving up and continuing to think, Gu Wu waited in the lounge for twenty minutes when he heard the sound of the game starting.
However, the first game in the first place was not a 1v1, but a hundred people in a big brawl at the venue.
Originally, the venue could not accommodate so many participants, but when the game started, the whole venue began to sink, and finally merged with the huge hole in the ground, and then broadcast it through the camera.
[Brave participants! The first round was easy! As long as there are less than 50 participants left in the venue, the first round will be over! Please keep the numbered plate you are wearing, although it is made of the hardest alloy, the chip on the inside is not that strong!! They are also the criteria for judging whether you are out of the game! Because the competition venue has an 'out-of-circle' field! 】
To put it simply, you just have to get all the other participants out of the circle and win.
Since the final final was three days away, Gu Wu now copied Altaïr's ability, after all, there was no need to worry about falling into a cooldown on the final day.
Back to the present, this situation is not bad for Gu Wu, once the game starts, as long as he uses his ability to kill the participants other than Altair.
[That's it! Please enter in turn! 】
Following the flow of participants to the venue, Gu Wu collided with a thickly haired person halfway through.
"Oh! Your little brother is also coming to the martial arts fair?! ”
"Just do your best."
"Hahaha! Good mentality! It's just that the reality is very cruel! ”
"That's right."
Gu Wu also responded with a smile, and the man who looked like a brown bear clenched his fists.
"For victory and glory! I'm not going to show mercy to anyone! ”
The heroic looking martial artist in front of him was in high spirits, and Gu Wu couldn't help but apologize in his heart, because most of his dreams would be shattered next.
When I arrived at the venue, just like the previous announcement, the ground under my feet gradually sank.
The entire venue moved about thirty meters underground, and when it stopped, the sound of huge gears was heard, and some kind of device was connected and began to operate.
Next up from here and there are lights and virtual boundary lines, the former for illumination, the latter for the selection of losers and winners.
[Ladies and gentlemen! There's still thirty seconds to prepare! You can choose to team up with people! You can also choose to keep your distance from others! 】
The brown bear-like man beside Gu Wu patted him on the shoulder.
"Little brother, be careful, we will be competitors next time we meet!!"
"No problem."
Gu Wu, who looked around, didn't notice Altaïr's figure, but he wasn't worried that there would be a problem on Altair's side.
Gu Wu, who clenched his fists, stared at the countdown on the big screen, and many people had already begun to form teams and distance themselves.
As for Gu Wu, he walked towards the central area, which was easy to be targeted.
Gu Wu's actions against the current made him attract attention, and of course, some people didn't care about it, because they cared about those opponents who looked fierce and sturdy, or they were guys who looked deeply hidden, and Gu Wu didn't have anything to do with either attribute.
[Three seconds left!] 】
Try to increase your output.
Gu Wu in the center looked at the people around him, they didn't care about themselves, they kept staring at the participants who looked tricky.
Gu Wu, who didn't care, saw the moment the countdown ended-
"It's over......"
He declared.
Ability 'Senluo' Activation——
Of course, other sharp, agile martial artists also took the means of attacking the surrounding enemies, but everything was a step too slow.
Because with Gu Wu as the center, the ground under his feet controlled by him was accompanied by a ferocious impact!!
The whole venue shook like an earthquake! The roar of the violent impact turned into a tsunami on the ground, and like the roar of a demonic beast, it stirred everything up, and then the invisible wave of energy and the tangible vibration spread out without dead ends!!!
Gas expansion! Space Explosion! The turbulence tore apart the surrounding things, and a large number of participants were hit by this force before they could react, and instantly turned into uncontrollable dropped marionettes, spinning and flying out of the field!
A large amount of smoke filled the underground venue, but the constant turbulence of turbulent air carried it away, leaving the venue with no rubble, only cracks.
The energetic participants were all lying in the off-field area groaning, their organs squeezed and their bodies hit hard, and they lost their original combat capabilities.
Looking around, Gu Wu noticed the figure staying in the field.
"Altaïr and ...... The other four? ”
It was normal for there to be strong enemies among the participants, and it was not surprising that Gu Wu soon heard a somewhat stammering and surprised announce.
"First! After the first round! There were only six participants left in the field in an instant! ”
This is part of the ability that Gu Wu has.
