Dragon Ball Arrives in Marvel

Chapter 684 Preliminary Rounds Begin

Carol Danvers looked around at the contestants with curiosity. She really hadn't expected that her home planet Earth would change so much in just over a decade. Capsules of Life, flying cars, combat power detectors, Baymax robots, and in addition, so many extraordinary individuals and superheroes.

As for the power level tester, she didn't get a reading of her strength from Nick Fury because no matter which version of the power level tester it was, it was ineffective against Captain Marvel. Once the power level was locked on, the result was always the same: the tester would immediately exceed its limit.

At the same time, I thought to myself: I hope Nick Fury isn't lying to me, otherwise I'll definitely blow this guy's head off.

Soon, one by one, the contestants received their numbers. Wanda opened her own number and said:
"I'm number ninety-three, Pietro, and you?"

Pietro looked at the number he had drawn and said:
"I am number forty."

"It seems we won't be going head-to-head from the start."

Steve Rogers walked over and said:
"So you two are in Zone 1 and Zone 3."

The two turned to look at the battle schedule for the four zones on the virtual screen. The numbers 93 and 40 were in the third and first zones, respectively.

Wanda looked at Pietro and said:

"It looks like we'll meet in the finals."

Pietro looked at the screen and said:
"I just don't know if I'll encounter any strong opponents in the early stages. As long as I'm not too unlucky, making it to the finals shouldn't be a problem."

"Captain, what's your number?"

Steve Rogers looked at Pietro, a superhuman with incredible speed whom he had met on the battlefield of Sokovia, which was why he had come over to chat.

"I am number forty-five, from the second district."

At this moment, Jessica Jones walked over and said:
"Captain, you're in the second district? In that case, we don't need to fight in the early stages."

Wanda looked at Jessica Jones, one of the only two women in the Avengers.

"I didn't expect you to participate too."

"By the way, did Hulk and Thor sign up?"

Jessica Jones shook her head and said:
"Hulk has disappeared and we haven't found him yet."

"As for Thor, he left Earth after the Sokovia incident, seemingly to find some answers."

Wanda nodded thoughtfully, then said:
"I hope we'll have the chance to meet in the finals."

Jessica Jones shook her head and said:

"I don't want to run into you."

Wanda and Pietro smiled and said:
"I hope so, I hope we'll have a chance to learn from each other."

"Then we'll see you later!"

the other side.

Scott and Hope stood together and began to speak:
"There are so many participants, it seems we're under a lot of pressure too."

Hope then spoke up to remind him:

"In the preliminary rounds, we tried to use the power of the Super Soldier Serum to advance as much as possible, without revealing our trump cards."

"This will allow us to go further in the finals."

"However, if the situation is not right, we should use it when necessary and not worry about wasting it."

Scott nodded and said:

"I understand, keep your trump card."

······
Audience area.

In the largest and most luxurious box in the arena, Smith Doyle was flanked by Bulma and Fox.

Smith Doyle sensed a powerful but unfamiliar contestant through his perception of qi, and looked over with curiosity.

After all, Smith Doyle had long remembered the presence of the strong individuals on Earth.

Then, when Smith Doyle saw the contestant, he was also stunned. The person who came was none other than Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers.

"Why is she here?"

Bulma asked curiously:
"Who?"

Smith Doyle said:
"Carol Danvers."

Fox quickly found Carol Danvers's information on the list, but seeing nothing wrong with it, he asked:
"What's wrong with her?"

Smith Doyle was truly surprised that Nick Fury had actually called Carol Danvers back. In other timelines, Captain Marvel would only return after Thanos snapped his fingers, but this time she returned so early that she even came to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament.

"No problem, but things are getting interesting."

"Icarus has a formidable opponent."

Fox exclaimed:

"She's so strong! What race is she? Is she also from the Eternal Race?"

Smith Doyle shook his head:
"She is an Earthling."

Bulma exclaimed in surprise:
"This is incredible."

The two were quite knowledgeable about Earth's superhumans. They could say that apart from Smith Doyle, the strongest human on Earth was the mutated Dr. Bruce Banner, and the other superhumans were only at the level of Captain America and Red Guard. The strongest was Jessica Jones, who still needed the cooperation of the symbiote.

The only difference is the mysterious group of magicians and the Wanda siblings.

At this moment, Smith Doyle was a little curious: between Captain Marvel and Icarus, the Marvel Superman, who was more powerful?

As for the others, such as Heimdall, Agatha Christie, and Abomination, he felt they were not as likely to win the championship as these two. If he were to add a few more candidates, Wanda and Star-Lord would be strong contenders.

Smith Doyle looked at all the contestants and quickly spotted someone who interested him: Peter Parker, the Spider-Man whose father is Iron Man.

However, his presence would certainly prevent a civil war. Even the Sokovia incident resulted in no casualties, and Baron Zemo would not want to instigate a civil war. In fact, he didn't even have anyone to instigate a civil war, since Bucky was already dead.

Under such circumstances, will Spider-Man still be able to develop a deep bond with Tony?
Smith Doyle was very skeptical.

Inside the VIP box.

In the VIP box where Ross was, his daughter Betty was standing next to him.

"No news yet?"

Betty shook her head.

"There's no news at all; the Avengers can't find any trace of Banner."

"Father, do you have any leads?"

Ross shook his head:

"There isn't a single clue; it's even more well hidden than it was originally."

"Perhaps it really is as Smith Doyle said, Banner has left the earth."

Betty nodded:

"I will wait for him to come back."

"Chief Smith said that Banner would be back safely in a short time."

Ross took a puff of his cigar and then said:
"We have no choice but to trust him."

······
The Eternal Clan also booked a VIP box.

Tina smiled and said:

"Icarus advised against participating in the World Martial Arts Tournament last time, but I didn't expect him to secretly sign up this time."

Ajax said:
"Icarus wants to win the championship and have a match with Smith Doyle."

"The power to easily shatter a city is something even Icarus couldn't remain completely indifferent to." Gilgamesh asked curiously.
"What wish would he make if he won the championship?"

After thinking for a moment, Jingle said:

"He doesn't know, and doesn't seem to have any needs."

Ajak shook his head and said:

"I don't know, I didn't ask him about this."

"And Icarus might not even win the championship. There are many talented people on Earth, and now even aliens are participating."

Ajax's gaze fell upon the Guardians of the Galaxy. It should be noted that the influence of the previous World Martial Arts Tournament was limited to Earth, with only Asgard sending representatives to participate. However, this time, other races had appeared, and even a raccoon had signed up to participate.

DeRoy shook his head and said:

"I don't believe anyone can defeat Icarus. You know, the last champion was Gilgamesh."

Ajax said with a smile:

"I also hope that Icarus will be the champion, but let's see how it turns out in the end."

Hearing Ajax say this, everyone nodded without objection. However, Cersei was curious about Icarus's purpose in participating.

At this moment, agents from S.H.I.E.L.D., S.W.O.R.D., the CIA, the FBI, and other countries were in the audience, recording the performance and fighting style of each contestant.

In the previous competition, they recruited some new talents through the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament and received praise from their respective superiors. This time, they cannot miss the opportunity.

Even some wealthy people are hoping to find a bargain and see if they can recruit one or two extraordinary individuals. They don't need to be very strong; they just need someone who can bring them prestige and protect them.

The leader of the alien race, Jia Ying, also booked a private box and brought several of her clansmen and her daughter to watch the competition.

Unlike the previous one, Skye did not register for the second World Martial Arts Tournament this time.

At this moment, the host of the competition announced:

"Now, please welcome contestants number 39 and 40 from Zone 1 to the stage."

Pietro, who was in the waiting area, said with some surprise after hearing this:

"I didn't expect it to be my turn so soon."

Wanda said with a smile:

"Keep it up, but don't bully your opponent too much."

Pietro nodded and said:

"Don't worry, it's just some prank at most."

As he spoke, Pietro twirled the colored pencils in his hand.

Inside the VIP box, Fox looked down at the ring and said:
"It's Pietro's turn to play. I wonder which unlucky guy will be number 39."

Pietro's ever-increasing speed makes him an instant kill for ordinary superhumans, especially with his special suit and weapons, which allow him to slaughter those weaker than him in an instant.

Smith Doyle nodded:
"Pietro's victory was not in doubt."

After speaking, Smith Doyle turned his gaze toward the ring.

Pietro stepped into the ring, and his opponent was a burly man from Russia.

"Kid, I won't hold back later. If you can't take it, remember to admit defeat."

Pietro was surprised:

"You don't even know me?"

The burly Russian man asked in confusion:

"Are you an Avenger? I need to get to know you."

At this moment, Xu Wenwu, the referee of Zone One, glanced at the two of them and then said:
"The match will last for thirty minutes."

"Now the game begins!"

As soon as referee Xu Wenwu finished speaking, the burly Russian man felt a tickle on his face before he could even make a move, while the surrounding audience burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha"

At that moment, Pietro held a colored pencil in his hand and laughed:
Do you need a mirror?

The burly Russian man touched his face and saw that his hand was covered in ink. He immediately looked at the virtual screen projected in the sky.

On the screen, a large turtle was drawn on his face with black ink. Upon seeing this, he immediately roared in anger:
"You deserve to die!"

His arm stretched out like rubber and reached for Pietro.

Wanda, sitting in the audience, shook her head and said:

"Pietro is really too playful; he's bullying people a bit."

Jessica Jones, standing to the side, said with a smile:

"But he's really cheerful, just a bit disrespectful to his opponents."

"Unfortunately, his opponent, in his anger, failed to perceive the difference between the two."

Pietro, completely unfazed by the outstretched hand, spoke up:
"You're too slow, buddy."

After speaking, Pietro appeared in front of the other person and simultaneously bumped into him with his shoulder.

"boom!"

Caught off guard, the man was knocked off the stage and crashed into the wall, while the person next to him also retreated.

Xu Wenwu glanced at the man who had already been knocked out of the ring and announced on the spot:
"Winner number 40, Pietro!"

The contestants in Zone 1 looked at Pietro with serious expressions, and one of them spoke up:
"So fast!"

The other person rubbed their eyes and said:

"I... I didn't even see what happened, it was too fast."

At this moment, the virtual screen above their heads showed a replay of the battle. In fifty times slow motion, everyone could see Pietro's figure clearly. They saw him run up to his opponent and use a shoulder tackle to knock him out of the ring.

"It's over. A formidable opponent has emerged in Zone 1. If we can't keep up with his speed, there's no hope of winning."

Many of the contestants in Zone 1 nodded with solemn expressions, and only a few could clearly see Pietro's figure.

In the audience area, the members of the Eternals looked at their kinsman, Macari.

"A speedster like you."

"But it seems I'm not as fast as you, Macari."

Makari said in sign language:

"I've met him before, I didn't expect him to participate as well."

"But he can't outrun me."

Everyone nodded and said nothing more.

Inside the Sky Sword Bureau's private box, Nick Fury looked at the victorious Pietro and said:
"Smith's men are really full of talent. I remember that during the Sokovia War, this Pietro also participated in the rescue and even received a title."

Hill said:
"Yes, it's called Quicksilver, and it's incredibly fast."

"Both siblings are very strong, and this time they both signed up for the competition."

Nick Fury nodded:

"He's a formidable rival, but he won't be a match for Carroll. Carroll's speed isn't slower than his."
