Dragon Ball Arrives in Marvel

Chapter 573 Opens Tournament Registration

Not many people know about Howard's resurrection, but not a few do.

During this time, he also visited many old friends, including Hank Pym.

At this moment, Hank Pym is sitting at home with a poster of the World Martial Arts Tournament in front of him, and Ant-Man's suit and Pym Particles placed next to him.

Hank Pym's initial surprise at Howard's resurrection and subsequent visit has now turned into acceptance.

If even those who died in the Battle of New York can be resurrected, then adding another Howard, who has been dead for many years, wouldn't be a big problem.

However, when Hank Pym heard Howard mention the reason for the Dragon Balls' resurrection, he thought of his wife.

Hank Pym murmured: "Does Ant-Man's power have a chance to take first place?"
Hank Pym shook his head helplessly. There were so many extraordinary individuals these days, who knew who would be participating in the competition? Besides, he also had a daughter who gave him a headache and his disciple Darren.

"It seems I need to have a serious talk with Hope."

the other side.

Lorelei, who was tasked with collecting the Dragon Balls, naturally paid attention to the World Martial Arts Tournament.

"Heimdall."

"Heimdall."

Lorelei made two calls and successfully contacted Heimdall.

However, he was not taken back to Asgard by the Rainbow Bridge; instead, he teleported Sif down with him.

Looking at Sif in front of her, Lorelei frowned slightly and said:
"I have an urgent matter to report to His Majesty the God King, concerning the Dragon Balls."

Sif began to speak:
"The God-King is already aware of the World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament, and I am representing Asgard in the first World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament."

Lorelei paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"just you?"

“Sif, you are indeed stronger than me in combat.”

"But with your abilities, you have absolutely no chance."

"It's better for me to go on stage than for you to participate."

"At least I'm pretty sure my chances of making it into the top 8 are much higher than yours."

Sif did not deny Lorelei's words. If there were more male contestants, Lorelei could theoretically even win the championship, but that was only a theoretical chance.

"This is the God-King's command."

Upon hearing that it was the God-King's order, Lorelei remained silent for a few seconds before speaking:
"I hope you won't disgrace Asgard."

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The publicity for the World Martial Arts Tournament spread to every corner of the earth, and everyone knew about this grand competition.

Assassins' League Headquarters.

Smith Doyle had just finished his workout in the gravity chamber when Fox walked in and said:
"Smith, the first phase of publicity for the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament has achieved its intended effect. Next, we will begin registration."

Smith Doyle nodded and said:
"The registration channel is now open, and everyone can register online through the official website."

"However, remember to conduct an audit when the preliminary rounds begin. Only those with a combat power of 8 points or higher can participate."

Has the venue been confirmed?

Fox said:
"Considering issues such as audience size, ticket availability, and broadcasting rights, the island previously used to host the Dragon Ball Battle is no longer suitable for use."

"Currently, the largest stadium in New York is the New York Mets Stadium, which can accommodate 85000 spectators."

Smith Doyle thought about it for a moment. He couldn't possibly cover the round-trip costs for all the spectators to the island. Adding it to the ticket price would make the ticket price extremely high. The Assassin's Guild would also need to prepare enough planes to transport the spectators, since the island wasn't open to the public.

"In that case, the inaugural event will be held at the Metropolitan Stadium." "Registration will be open for 10 days, and the competition will begin 5 days after registration closes."

"This is enough time for them to fly to New York to participate in the competition."

Upon hearing this, Fox asked:
"Isn't the registration period too short? Many competitions have a full month for registration."

Smith Doyle shook his head and said:

"There was no need to drag it out for so long; we spent more than a month promoting it."

"The extraordinary individuals who need to know have already learned about it, and they will register the moment the registration channel opens."

Fox nodded:
"Regarding ticket prices, I referenced the World Cup prices."

"It consists of two rounds: the preliminary round and the quarterfinals."

"Tickets for the preliminary rounds are $500 for the general admission section, $1500-$3000 for the premium section (VIP boxes and VIP areas), and $10 per person for the deluxe section."

"Tickets for the quarterfinals are twice the price of those for the qualifiers."

Smith Doyle was also taken aback when he heard the price, and then asked:
"Is the ticket price too high?"

Fox shook his head and said:

"Actually, our costs are not high."

"Unlike other competitions, our competitions are not charged per match. Instead, they are divided into qualifying tickets and quarterfinal tickets."

"If the quarterfinals are completely separated and only one match is held each time, the cost per match will be lower, but the overall cost will be higher."

"Besides, this is a competition for extraordinary individuals, so the price isn't expensive."

"There are also live TV broadcasts and event replays, which allows people who cannot come to the venue to choose."

Smith Doyle nodded after hearing this, and then asked:
"What about the coverage area for the event broadcast?"

Fox smiled and said:

"Because it is the first event about superhumans, countries around the world are very interested in it, and the broadcast coverage covers all 233 sovereign states and regions in the world."

"However, prices vary depending on the market, and some are basically sold at half price or given away for free."

Smith Doyle was somewhat surprised to hear that the broadcast covered all countries and regions around the world. He hadn't expected that the three groups' full-fledged promotion would lead to a global broadcast in such a short time.

"As expected, there won't be any problems if you're in charge of this matter."

"Let's get ready to open the registration channel. I'm already looking forward to seeing how many people will sign up this time."

Fox also said with a smile:

"I'm also very curious to see just how many extraordinary individuals will sign up."

"I wonder if it will attract aliens."

Smith Doyle thought for a moment and said:
"Asgard will definitely send someone, but that should be all."

"By the way, how well has everyone mastered the flying technique?"

Fox nodded, after all, Asgard was the main contact with Earth at the moment.

"Those who have comprehended Qi have mastered the art of flying, but their flight speeds differ due to their varying strengths."

Smith Doyle said:
"I hope that the art of flying will become a standard skill for members of the Assassin's Guild in the future, so that every member can master it."

Fox smiled and said:

"Then everyone has to become a superhuman. No one among the members below 8 points can even sense the existence of Qi."
