Marvel's Magic Master

The Supreme Kai of the East came to Earth with his retinue because he discovered that Bibidi's son, the equally evil sorcerer Bibidi, had secretly come to Earth.

Moreover, they are gathering energy in an attempt to reawaken the sealed Majin Buu.

However, after searching all over the world, they couldn't find Babidi, so they came to the World Martial Arts Tournament.

On one hand, the Supreme Kai of the East believed that Babidi would use the World Martial Arts Tournament to collect the ki from the bodies of some strong fighters.

On the other hand, they also know that there are experts like Sun Wukong on Earth who might be able to help.

As for why George is interested in the Supreme Kai?
Naturally, they also wanted to build good relationships, in addition to wanting to learn the art of fusion.

He also wanted to see if he could use the Supreme Kai connection to get in touch with the Gods of Destruction and Angels in advance, and study Ultra Instinct.

"We are now officially beginning the preliminary rounds of the World Martial Arts Tournament!"

The referee, dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, who was in charge of the preliminary rounds, took the stage and began explaining the rules of the preliminary rounds:
"The content of our competition in this qualifier is as follows."

Compared to the preliminary rounds of the previous World Martial Arts Tournament, this time the selection process involves competitions on multiple internal arenas.

The rules for this qualifying round are much simpler.

The strength of the punching machine is tested, and the top fifteen with the greatest strength advance to the official competition.

As the previous champion, Satan can directly enter the official competition.

Therefore, there are a total of sixteen players in the official competition.

In fact, the new rules are very unfair and unprofessional to normal combat athletes.

This is clearly the result of capital entering the market.

A martial arts tournament is about martial arts, not just pure strength. Judging strength by raw power is for strongmen.

However, this didn't affect Wukong and his group, because they were far beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

"Now, let's ask Mr. Satan to give us a demonstration!"

"Who can surpass me this time?"

The towering Satan threw off his cloak and made a dazzling entrance, brandishing his golden belt, which immediately drew cheers from the arena.

The competitors who came to participate in the competition were either students of the Satan Boxing Gym or had fallen in love with fighting under the influence of Satan and came to participate in the competition.

Only a small fraction are true martial artists and fighting masters.

So a lot of people came to support it.

"There are a lot of people here who can surpass you."

Klin couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Amid cheers from the crowd, Satan approached the boxing machine, mustered all his strength, and punched it.

He scored a score of 137, which would astound ordinary people.

At the same time, a glint flashed in Bick's eyes, and all the equipment in the hands of the reporters who were preparing to take photos and record videos exploded and were destroyed.

In this way, Gohan won't have to worry about his identity being exposed.

After Satan finished his demonstration, the referee asked everyone to line up and receive a number plate, and then each person went to the boxing machine to test their score.

George also went up with everyone to get a number plate, and then stood aside to watch the punching power test.

"Number two, ninety-seven points!"

"Number three, eighty-eight points!"

"Number four, seventy-two points!"

As the staff's voices continued to ring out, the line moved forward, and soon it was Android 18's turn, number 84.

In terms of sheer strength, Satan is not exaggerating. The highest score he has achieved so far is 117 points, which came from a giant bear-man.

Those with a strength exceeding 100 are extremely rare.

Number 18 stepped forward and gently tapped the punching machine with one finger, and the numbers on the machine immediately soared.

"Seven hundred and seventy-four points!"

When the staff saw the final number displayed, their voices trembled.

The contestants watching were stunned by the numbers announced by the staff.

"The machine must be broken."

How could such a slender and beautiful woman possess power six times greater than Satan? Is she even human?

So the machine must be broken for this to happen.

The staff immediately sent someone over to check the machine, and after readjusting it, they said:
"I'm sorry, there was a problem with the machine just now, but it's been fixed now. Please have this contestant test it again."

"I told you, don't use too much force, control yourself, control yourself."

Klin quickly went to Number 18's side and whispered a reminder.

Number 18 waved his hand impatiently:
"Aren't you annoying? Controlling your power is too difficult!"

George, who was behind him, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Android 18 is an android created by Dr. Gero. His power came too easily, unlike Krillin and the others who reached their current state through training.

Therefore, their ability to precisely control their strength is somewhat weaker.

In reality, for Wukong and his group, it's not about getting the highest possible score; rather, it's about controlling the score as accurately as possible.

Number 18 repositioned himself, concentrated, and carefully punched the boxing machine.

"Number 84, 203?"

A bead of cold sweat broke out on the staff member's forehead.

However, this time he did not announce that the machine was broken, but instead recorded the score.

Next up was Krillin, who also threw a careful punch.

"Number 85, 192 points!"

Clearly, Kobayashi's self-control is much better than that of Number 18.

They need to score as close to Satan's score as possible, because that won't be too outrageous, and it will definitely qualify them for the official tournament.

"Number 86, 186 points!"

Goku's control is even better than Krillin's.

"Number 87, 210 points!"

As the former Piccolo Daimaō, he wasn't very good at controlling his power.

"It seems this boxing machine is really broken. We need to get a new one delivered quickly."

The consistently high scores led the staff to believe that there must be a problem with the boxing machine.

Now it was Vegeta's turn, the proud Saiyan prince.

"You all get out of the way!"

Vegeta said something to the staff member standing next to the boxing machine, and then threw a punch at it without any mercy.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, Vegeta blasted the entire punching machine to pieces, turning it into countless fragments.

The entire room fell silent; everyone was clearly stunned.

If the high scores before could be explained by the machine breaking down, what about now that the entire punching machine has been destroyed?
Even a fool knows how terrifying this power is.

Upon seeing this, Wukong and the others couldn't help but cover their foreheads.

It was clearly impossible for the proud Saiyan prince to control his power and pass the test discreetly.

"I'm sorry, the new machine will take a while to arrive. The next contestants will have to wait a bit."

After a while, the staff realized what was happening and hurriedly called out to the remaining contestants.

“No need for that.” George walked over to the broken pieces of the punching machine, pointed at them, and used his qi as energy to cast a repair spell.

"Restored to the original condition!"

He didn't want to waste his time here.

Under the effect of the restoration spell, the fragments of the boxing machine seemed to turn back time, restoring them to their original state.

"W-What's going on? Am I hallucinating?!"

The staff member next to him raised his hand and slapped himself, realizing that the boxing machine in front of him had indeed been repaired.

Everyone below stared wide-eyed again, even Wukong and the others looked surprised.

"He's very good at inventing weird and wonderful moves; he's got a real talent for it."

The only one who wasn't surprised was Piccolo, because he knew from the Temple of the Gods that George had created many special uses for air.

This wasn't the first time he'd seen George use this ability to repair things with qi.

"It's a trick, a trick. As a martial artist, I also work as a magician."

George smiled, took the hat from the staff member next to him, and pulled a pigeon out of thin air from inside.

The pigeons flapped their wings and flew into the air, then suddenly scattered, transforming into beautiful, multicolored petals that slowly drifted down.

"It was magic! What an amazing magic trick!"

Only then did everyone reluctantly believe George's words.

Otherwise, there's really no way to explain how the boxing machine, which was smashed to pieces, suddenly returned to its original state.

Only amazing magic can do such a thing.

Everyone knows that magic is fake, but many magic performances seem unbelievable before the secret is revealed.

Perhaps this was a short entertainment performance arranged by the organizers to entertain the magician during the preliminary rounds.

To help everyone relax.

"The qualifiers continue!"

After the staff realized what was happening, they checked the boxing machine and, finding no problems, continued announcing the numbers.

George stepped forward and punched the boxing machine, which displayed a score of 130.

His control over energy is so precise that he can accurately achieve the score he wants.

In his opinion, 130 points is enough to qualify for the official competition.

Ten minutes later, it was finally Gohan's and Videl's turn, and the two of them naturally scored enough points to qualify for the official match.

"Junior group contestants, please get ready. The competition will officially begin in five minutes!"

At that moment, the loudspeaker sound from the meeting hall also reached here.

"The junior group competition has started, let's go take a look!"

Wukong made the suggestion.

Normally, there's nothing much to watch in the junior group competition, but this time, Goten and Transcendental were among the participants.

"It's good to take a look; it's much more interesting than staying in this boring place."

Vegeta nodded, agreeing with Goku's suggestion.

The others naturally agreed, since their scores were enough to guarantee they would pass the qualifiers.

So, everyone left the preliminary round venue and headed towards the main competition venue.

During this time, Gohan introduced Videl to Goku and the others. Videl, through everyone's behavior, also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

As George left the court, he glanced at two bald, muscular men with "M" symbols on their foreheads standing in the corner.

"Those two must be Babidi's men!"

The most powerful magic of the evil sorcerer Babidi is his ability to control creatures with evil thoughts, even those creatures that are far, far more powerful than him.

At the same time, he can also use negative energy to corrupt his subordinates, greatly enhancing their strength.

Over there are two bald, muscular men named Yamu and Spobich, who were contestants in the previous World Martial Arts Tournament.

His strength was average, and he was easily defeated by Satan.

Therefore, they harbored resentment, which was conveniently exploited by Babidi, who turned them into his subordinates.

The purpose of these two in participating in the World Martial Arts Tournament was to find powerful fighters, drain their energy, and then claim credit from Babidi.

"A nobody."

Even if they were corrupted by demons, their combat power was probably no more than a thousand, so George only glanced at them and didn't pay much attention.

The group quickly arrived at the high platform where they could watch the competition, while the junior group's match had already begun on the arena below.

As expected, Goten and Transcendental easily advanced to the finals with overwhelming strength, and then presented everyone with a wonderful duel.

Their formidable fighting prowess left all the viewers speechless, and also fueled further speculation in Bidili's mind.

In the end, Transus won the match by a narrow margin, causing Goten to accidentally fall off the field.

"The normal value is 200 million, and the value after transformation is about 10 billion."

George stroked his chin, roughly discerning the true strength of Goten and Transcendental at that moment.

In other words, in terms of total ki, he is now about the same as Goten and Transcendent after their transformations.

Of course, if it were a real fight, he could easily take care of those two little guys.

"The preliminary rounds have ended. The following sixteen contestants are requested to come to the venue as soon as possible to draw lots."

At this moment, the loudspeaker announcement rang out again:

"Panda, Invincible Masked Man, George, Son Goku, Vegeta, Maginia, Krillin, Android 18, Super Saiyan, Videl, Asin, Jebt, Killer, Yamuk, Spokbych."

"I really made it through the preliminary rounds!"

In the audience, Emma, ​​who was sitting next to Kiki in the front row, stood up excitedly when she heard George's name appear on the official match roster.

Meanwhile, the students at Orange Star High School were all incredulous when they heard that George was among the official players.

How did George, that bookworm who doesn't talk much, actually pass the preliminary rounds?

George didn't try to hide himself like Gohan did, so he was naturally recognized by his classmates at school as soon as possible.

But everyone thought George was joking and that it was absolutely impossible for him to pass the qualifiers.

"I wonder if there are any other powerful figures besides us."

I think there aren't any left.

Upon hearing the announcement, everyone began to move towards the drawing of lots at the back of the hall.

During this time, Klin couldn't help but pray:
"Gods, please don't let me run into them in the first round."

In his opinion, if he were to face Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Piccolo in the first round, then there would be no point in fighting.

"Klin, the god you prayed to is now Dandy."

Bick, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh and offer a reminder.

Klin paused for a moment upon hearing this, then changed his words:
"Then, God Dende, please protect me. I saved you many times when I was on Namek!"

"If it were a normal competition, it would be difficult for Klin to make it into the top five."

George, standing behind Klin, also smiled and shook his head.

There were fifteen contestants, plus sixteen Satans, and nine of them were stronger than Krillin.

Unless Klin is extremely lucky and encounters all these top fighters at the same time, he has no chance of making it into the top five.
