Dragon Ball Arrives in Marvel

Chapter 683 The best martial arts club in the world

Seeing that Hank Pym had agreed, Smith Doyle was not surprised, and continued:

"OK, the deal is settled."

"Next, there is something else I need to tell you very seriously, and this is not something I want to discuss with you."

Hank Pym's expression also turned serious. Hearing Smith Doyle say that, he knew it was no small matter.

"Please say."

Smith Doyle began his sermon:
"Regarding the crisis in the quantum realm."

"I know something about the quantum realm, and it's very serious."

"There is a virus in the quantum realm that is extremely dangerous, highly contagious, and could easily become a global crisis."

“I know you have been dedicated to research in the field of quantum mechanics in order to find your wife who once disappeared.”

"Scott's successful return after shrinking this time will inspire you to conduct research."

Hank Pym was also hearing about the quantum virus for the first time, and his expression became serious.

"That Scott..."

Smith Doyle said:
"He was lucky. I guess he shrunk down to the atomic level, but returned successfully without encountering any real danger in the quantum realm."

"I'm not completely stopping you from conducting research."

"Instead, research should be conducted under protective measures."

Upon hearing that research was still possible, but protective measures were required, Hank Pym asked:
"What do I need to do?"

Smith Doyle looked at Hank Pym and then said:
"S.H.I.E.L.D. has a secret underground base in the suburbs of New York, which is highly protected."

“Your research in the quantum field will be conducted there from now on. Also, you need to keep a record of every exploration in the quantum field.”

Hank Pym thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement:
"no problem."

Upon hearing Hank Pym's quick agreement, Smith Doyle nodded:
"Happy cooperation!"

······
Inside Hank Pym's villa.

Hank Pym and his daughter Hope returned home, and Hope and Scott had already been injected with the Super Soldier Serum at S.H.I.E.L.D. As for the Pym Particles, Hank Pym only sent a portion, since he didn't have that many in stock and needed to come back to manufacture them before sending them to Smith Doyle to complete the transaction.

"I want to show you something."

Hank Pym brought his daughter to the basement and said:

"Power cannot be destroyed; we can only try to prevent it from falling into the hands of bad people."

As he spoke, Hank Pym walked up to a wall, pressed a hidden button, and the wall rose up to reveal what was inside.

A suit with wings, which looked a level above the Ant-Man suit, was hanging inside.

"This is an upgraded version of the original garment."

“It was developed by your mother and me.”

Hope stared intently at the suit in front of him, took a step forward, leaned against the doorway, and gazed at the suit inside, lost in thought.

"Your mother died before she even had a chance to use this suit."

“But now I understand, this is what we created for you.”

Hope looked at her father in surprise. Was he going to give her a battle suit?

Hank Pym began by saying:
"Now is the time."

Hope nodded and said:
"It's time. I will wear it to the World Martial Arts Tournament."

Hank Pym nodded; with Scott and Hope participating, the odds of winning increased even further.

······
More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the technology expo held by the Universal Capsule Group has officially announced its closure.

During the event, numerous technology companies showcased and introduced their products, and several companies announced the development of a super soldier serum.

Scott joined the Avengers, where he underwent training to adapt to the increased power of the Super Soldier Serum. As for the house that his ex-wife had destroyed, Darren's estate was used to compensate for it.

As for Hank Pym, after receiving 90 vials of Pym Particles, he successfully injected himself with the Howard-specific Super Soldier Serum and became a superhuman.

Skye got what she wanted; after leaving Coulson's team, she became Smith Doyle's assistant and had an office outside the director's office.

There is only one day left until the start of the second World Martial Arts Tournament. Because of the success of the first tournament, the second tournament has received even more attention.

Assassins' League Headquarters.

Inside the meeting room, Smith Doyle looked at everyone and asked:
"Registration closed today, and the preliminary rounds will begin in three days. Are there any special things we should pay attention to?"

Fox pulled out a document and immediately began to speak:
"The number of participants this time far exceeds that of last time, especially after we changed the competition venue to that island. Many spectators chose to go to the island a week in advance to enjoy the scenery and wait for the start of the competition."

"Multiple media outlets from around the world have already landed on the island, and global broadcasting agreements have been reached."

"However, there are a few special people among the participants this time. One of them is a group of people who have just returned from outer space."

"Quill, Rocket, Mantis, Drax, Yondu."

Smith Doyle was somewhat surprised to hear that the Guardians of the Galaxy, along with Yondu the Raider, would be joining. He knew that the Guardians of the Galaxy were coming, but he didn't expect that Yondu, who uses the Whistle Arrow, would also be included.

Both used the whistle arrow, but Yondu was clearly far superior to that future successor. Furthermore, Yondu did not die or experience the rebellion, while that person might not have had the chance to inherit the whistle arrow.

"I know these people; they're quite capable."

"Besides them, which other extraterrestrial visitors have signed up?"

Fox said:
"Thor has left Earth, and the person sent from Asgard is Heimdall."

Smith Doyle was somewhat surprised to hear Heimdall's name. It was quite unexpected that Loki would send the gatekeeper of Asgard to the World Martial Arts Tournament.

"Were there any other aliens who signed up besides them?"

Fox shook his head:
"There are no other aliens with obvious characteristics. If Heimdall hadn't registered through the Asgardian embassy on Earth, we wouldn't even be able to tell that he is an alien."

"On the other hand, Icarus from the Eternals participated in the competition, while the other members did not register."

"No one from Kamar-Taj has signed up to compete; the only one who could be considered is Wanda."

"There are some unfamiliar faces, and the rest are veterans who participated in the previous competition."

"In addition, Tony and Ivan Vanko did not register for this year's World Martial Arts Tournament."

Smith Doyle nodded and said:
"It seems we've met a formidable opponent among this year's contestants." "As for Tony and Ivan, it's understandable that they didn't participate."

Eddie, standing nearby, asked curiously:
"Is Icarus very powerful?"

Smith Doyle thought for a moment and then said:
"The strongest warrior among the Eternals."

Everyone present nodded in agreement. The Eternal Clan was already powerful, and this member was the most powerful among them. He was indeed a formidable opponent for the other contestants, and even Xu Wenwu was eager to try his luck.

"Are there many people from our organization who have signed up to participate?"

Fox shook his head and said:
“Very few, only Wanda and her brother signed up for the competition, no one else participated.”

Smith Doyle nodded, then said:

"Then I'll trouble you all to ensure the smooth running of the competition on the island."

······
Time quickly came to the start of the second World Martial Arts Tournament.

The venue was moved to an island, but that did not dampen the enthusiasm of the audience. In addition, the island could accommodate more spectators, and a total of 300,000 spectators from all over the world came, selling out all the seats in the stadium.

Some viewers even claimed they would be willing to buy a tourist ticket to the island if they couldn't get a ticket.

However, it is clear that there are no tourism projects available on the island outside of the competition.

At the entrance, a staff member was seen using a megaphone to shout:

"Please do not crowd, please do not crowd."

"Everyone who goes to the island has a seat. Please line up to enter. In addition, each audience member has been provided with VR glasses for the competition commentary. Please line up to receive them."

Fox and others made some adjustments to the viewing experience of the competition, since some of the contestants' fighting speed was too exaggerated, and the average person's eyes couldn't even keep up with their speed. This is where VR glasses are needed for commentary and slow-motion video playback.

······
The competition site.

All registered participants entered the arena, and at that moment, the figure of the host of the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament appeared on the big screen.

"Today is the second World Martial Arts Tournament. A year has passed since the last tournament, and in that year, the top 16 players from the last tournament have undergone considerable changes."

"Many of them are preparing for this World Martial Arts Tournament again. Thank you all for coming from afar. You've all worked so hard."

"This conference is jointly sponsored by Capsule Corporation, Red Ribbon Group, Vanke Industrial, and Stark Industries."

"A total of 274 experts gathered from all over the world."

"Presumably, the number of participants in this edition is double that of the first edition, which also shows that the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament has attracted more masters."

Jessica Jones looked around at the other contestants and said with some surprise:

“Steve, this time the number of people has doubled.”

Do you still have confidence?

Steve Rogers didn't give up and said:
"Whether I'm confident or not, I'm going to do it, try to win the championship, and bring Bucky and Page back to life."

Jessica Jones said in a low voice:

"I think you're better suited to accumulating merits by completing missions within the bureau. Now you can even exchange super soldier serums for them, so it's not impossible that you'll be able to use merits in the future..."

Steve Rogers, leaning on his shield, then spoke:
"We need to work hard on both sides, and I also want to see how far I can go at the conference."

At this moment, a boy also looked curiously at the contestants around him. Unlike most of the contestants, he was wearing a battle suit that covered his entire body.

Peter Parker said as he did the stretching exercises:
Wow, there are so many people!

"I don't know if I can get through the qualifiers."

The host on stage continued to announce:
"Only 16 out of 274 people will be able to attend the actual final."

"In order to select the sixteen finalists, we first need to hold a preliminary round."

"Now I will explain the rules and methods of the competition. The preliminary rounds are divided into eight areas. The two people who defeat the last two people in each area will be the ones to appear in the final of the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament."

"As for the rules of the competition, it is a one-on-one sparring match on the ring."

"Anyone who falls out of bounds or faints loses."

"But there is one rule, which is that you must never kill anyone."

"In terms of weaponry, only one set of self-developed combat suits can be carried and used."

"Furthermore, the preliminary rounds cannot last more than thirty minutes. If a winner cannot be determined immediately, the referee will decide the outcome."

"Now, let's begin the lottery for the assigned areas."

"Please take a look at the number on your slip and go to your assigned area."

At this moment, staff members came up with cardboard boxes, and all the contestants began to draw numbers.

In the audience, Tony Stark complained:
"It's the same as last time, nothing has changed, except the number of people has doubled."

Little Chili asked with some curiosity:

Why didn't you participate this time?

Tony raised an eyebrow and said:
“I have no more wishes to fulfill now. I have you, I have my family, and Smith recently resurrected all the Sokovian people who perished.”

Tony turned to Ivan Vanko beside him and said:
"Ivan, why didn't you sign up?"

Ivan Vanko said:
"Since you haven't signed up, there's no need for me to sign up either."

Then he took Yelena's hand and said:
"And I have no regrets."

Tony said with a smile:

"It seems you still want to spar with me."

Ivan Vanko smiled. He really had no need to spar with Tony, since they weren't going to fight.

In a private box in the audience area, Nick Fury sat with Hill and Falcon, their gazes fixed on a woman in the audience.

Hill then spoke up:
"Sir, do you really think she can win the championship?"

Nick Fury nodded seriously and said:
"I have a lot of confidence in her. At the level of the previous year, Danvers will have no difficulty taking first place at all."

However, after Nick Fury used the pager to call for help, Captain Marvel Danvers eventually crossed half the universe to return to Earth and found Nick Fury on the space station.

After a conversation, Danvers learned that all the dangers had been resolved by his own superheroes on Earth. Just as Danvers was about to leave, Nick Fury said something that made him stay and promised to let him sign up for the World Martial Arts Tournament and win the championship.
