"Kakarrot's Battle Power is 1620; however, Piccolo's Battle Power is 1681. If we only look at the numbers, then Piccolo is a little ahead, but the disparity between the two is not large. Victory or defeat will depend on their performance!" Xiaya looked at Xiling and Myers and commented with a relaxed expression.

The value of one's Battle Power was just a rough metric in a fight. It only indicated the amount of energy an individual possessed. Naturally, possessing higher energy had many more advantages, but the concrete outcome of a battle was dependent on one's performance. Experience and ideas were the main factors.

"It will really be difficult to judge!" Xiling nodded her head in agreement.

Xiaya suddenly smiled and said, "You know that Piccolo is a demon, right? But when I observed him just now with 'Spirit Eye Secret Skill', I found that his sins are—surprisingly—zero, meaning that he has never committed an evil deed!"

"A good demon?" Myers muttered while rolling her eyes.

"He was busy training, so there should've been no time for him to do evil!"

To defeat Goku, Piccolo had gone back to the "Yunzabit Heights" where his father had lived since birth. The climate there was bad, and it was uninhibited. The number of lifeforms there was not much, so one would have to abandon the thought of committing evil.

'Perhaps, it's Piccolo's lack of sin that will enable him to slowly break away from the ranks of demons in the future.'

In the martial arena, the two combatants used their respective unique skills. In an instant, enormous energy b.a.l.l.s appeared between the sky and earth. The dazzling lights completely illuminated the whole sky.

Narrowing his eyes as he stared at the dazzling energy ball, Xiaya faintly smiled and said, "They are about to go all-out. It seems that a victor would soon be decided!"

The entire Martial Arts Temple was dead silent as everyone was shocked by the two enormous energy b.a.l.l.s that had suddenly appeared.

"What frightening energy! They can release such a huge energy ball?" Krillin and others had sweat seeping out from their foreheads. The energy density of the two energy b.a.l.l.s was extremely high. If released, the entire southeastern island would be wiped out from the face of the earth.

"Unbelievable, it seems that they were holding back previously…" Old Kami muttered to himself with wide eyes.

"Wow, what a bright light. They are like suns!" Bulma shouted in astonishment and suddenly thought, 'This is the energy ball that my future husband produced…' Her emotions were suddenly running high.

Amidst everyone's gaze, the two enormous energy b.a.l.l.s gradually approached each other.

Finally, a rumble resounded throughout the horizon, stinging the ears of every one present followed by buzzing sounds which continued to ring. A violent shockwave, like one caused by a nuclear explosion, broke through the clouds, and then a fierce wind swept out, bringing along sand and dust.

After the sandstorm pa.s.sed, the audience felt like they had experienced the end of the world as they were covered in sand and dust from head to toe, leaving them in a sorry state.

As they took in the view of the venue again, the audience was stunned. They saw that the vast structure of the venue had disappeared, replacing it was a huge bottomless hole. A fiery aura was constantly emanating from the huge hole, and the top layer of soil became crimson-colored after getting scorched by the intense temperature. A cloud of light-black smoke was floating above it.

"This… What a shocking destructive power…" The host was lying p.r.o.ne beside the huge hole, and half of his body had been charred black.

Old Kami looked at the venue calmly, his eyes s.h.i.+ning with a bright light. After sensing the faint aura of Goku and Piccolo, he raised his head and stared at the sky. At a height of several thousand meters, Goku was floating in a sorry state, and on the other side, the exhausted Piccolo was in an even more unbearable state.

From the fight just now, Goku was slightly superior.

After slowly landing, Piccolo fell out of the arena. Goku, while floating in the air with great effort, turned towards the host and shouted, "Hey, host, he has already fallen out of the arena, so announce the result!"

"Well, oh…" The host came back to his senses and quickly raised the microphone, announcing loudly, "Ma Jr. has fallen out of the arena. Contestant Goku wins. Thus, the winner of the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament is Contestant Goku. Let us give him a warm round of applause to congratulate him!"

As soon as the results were announced, the audience applauded and cheered. The battle that just concluded was too amazing. They had no objection to Goku being the champion of the World Martial Arts Tournament. As if a joyful drama had come to an end, the whole world was discussing the details spiritedly.

The battle between Goku and Piccolo had opened their eyes, and it was even more breathtaking than their previous battle from three years ago.

"Hah, great! Goku, you are awesome!" Krillin laughed heartily while cheering. He felt honor in Goku's victory.

"The disparity in our strength is getting bigger and bigger." Yamcha spat out a turbid Ki, but he was not dispirited.

"Haha, he is really worthy of being my future husband, a mighty expert!" Bulma shouted excitedly, and then she quickly rushed towards Goku.

"Goku, one day I will kill you with my own hands and rule the world!" After the compet.i.tion ended, Piccolo stiffly left this sentence behind and soared into the sky.

"I'll be waiting for you!" Goku shouted with confidence.

Old Kami walked over to Goku's side and said, "Goku, you shouldn't have let him go."

Goku scratched his head and said in embarra.s.sment, "I think that Piccolo is not a bad person. Moreover, I need a rival who can always urge me on!"

Old Kami sighed and then introduced Chi-Chi's new ident.i.ty to them. "From today onwards, Chi-Chi will replace me as the new Kami of Earth. I hope you all can help her!"

After saying that, he glanced around at everyone, and his eyes especially stopped at Xiaya, Xiling, and Myers for a moment. He knew that Earth was insignificant in the universe; thus, they needed to be united. Fortunately, Krillin, Yamcha, and other young experts had appeared on Earth in recent times, making Old Kami very happy.

"Hmm, we will definitely help out."

Bulma hugged Chi-Chi's shoulder like a bosom friend and said, "Wow, Chi-Chi, you are the Kami of Earth from now on. To think that I am a good friend with the Kami!"

"In actually, Senior brother Goku is more suitable to be the Kami," After her initial astonishment, Chi-Chi said modestly.

Goku hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No no, I don't want to stay in that boring place."

"Exactly, Goku wants to go back to West City with me." Bulma pulled Goku's arm, and then she announced to everyone, "I am planning to get married to Goku. The wedding will be held in West City. I hope that you will all come to our wedding."

"Wow, Goku is getting married, and the bride is such a beautiful girl!" Krillin exclaimed.

Launch and Hasky also surrounded them and asked, "Goku, do you plan on settling in West City in the future?"

Goku embarra.s.sedly scratched his head and said, "Bulma allowed me to live in her home, but I'll also stay on Mount Paozu as it will be transformed into a martial arts training area specially customized for me. You can also come over and train in the future."

Oolong bit his fingers as he watched Goku and Bulma intimate display and muttered unwillingly, "Boo hoo, I'm so jealous!"

Master Ros.h.i.+ wholeheartedly blessed them and vowed that he would be present at the wedding.

On the way home, Myers asked Xiaya, "Kakarrot is about to get married. Should we allow Bardock and the others to come over and partic.i.p.ate in the wedding?"

Xiaya thought for a moment before saying, "Bardock must have known about it long ago. Umm, let's notify them anyway. Their child is getting married, so—as parents— they should indeed be present."

West City.

Since Goku and Bulma's wedding was scheduled to take place a week later, Bulma's family was bustling about as preparations for the wedding were being done.

"Hee hee, I had long predicted that little Goku will get together with Bulma. See, it has come true." Bulma's beautiful mother said as she held Goku's arm enthusiastically. Although she was old, she acted like someone young at heart.

Bulma roared, "Mom, let go of his hand!" Bulma glared at her mother with dissatisfaction and dragged Goku from her.

However, Bulma did not expect that this would cause her mother to guffaw.

"Oh dear, time sure flies fast. In the blink of an eye, Bulma is getting married."

Tights smiled as she looked at them. As an author, she often wrote down the little details in life. This was the source of her creation. Following the good sells of "Chronicles of the Galaxy" and "Martial Immortal's Biography", Tights was already a well-known author.

Dr. Brief walked over, sloppily dressed, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and said, "If the wedding preparations can be handed over to Tights, I will be free to research on a way to transform Mount Paozu."

Since a training ground had to be built around Mount Paozu, Dr. Brief racked his brains as he sought a huge gift to give his son-in-law.

With her long blonde hair fluttering, Tights gave a charming smile and suggested, "It's better to cooperate with Planet Hongshan. They will definitely produce a satisfactory design."

When it came to the construction of a training place for Goku, it would be difficult finding a corporation more qualified than Planet Hongshan.

ll Dr. Brief clapped his hands as a bright idea flashed across his mind, and he nodded in agreement. Then, he entered a room to contact the Feidaya people of Planet Hongshan using special equipment.

Bulma had always been very curious about the Planet Hongshan Corporation, which had a cooperative business with her family. She moved closer and asked Tights, "Sister, where is Planet Hongshan Corporation? I checked, but I couldn't find them anywhere on Earth."

Although she knew that Xiaya was the owner of the Planet Hongshan Corporation, Bulma was not familiar with the so-called Planet Hongshan Corporation. Thus, in her opinion, Planet Hongshan Corporation must be hiding astonis.h.i.+ng secrets.

Tights glanced at Bulma and Goku with her watery eyes and felt that it was time to tell them. She lightly smiled and said, "Heh heh, of course, you won't find it because Planet Hongshan Corporation is not on Earth."

Tights' words were like a flash of lightning striking on her heart, causing Bulma to stare blankly. Although she was long prepared, Bulma was still shocked when she really confirmed the information.

"Where is Planet Hongshan Corporation?"

"If you have read my book, you will know that the Earth is only an insignificant low-level planet in the North Area and that Planet Hongshan is a super-planet located in the distant East Area. I don't know if you still remember that when you were six years old, Dr. Tokunos.h.i.+n Omori came to our house. At that time, our family started working with Planet Hongshan."

"Oh, and by the way, there are a lot of Saiyans living on Planet Hongshan," Tights looked at Goku and said with a smile.

"As expected, he is a Saiyan!" Bulma had guessed Xiaya's ident.i.ty long ago, and at this moment, she confirmed it. However, Bulma's elegant eyebrows creased as she asked, "Could it be that the aliens described in your books are all real?"

"Of course! Although a part of the plot is fictional, it is more or less real."

Hearing that, Bulma couldn't help but be dumbfounded. To Bulma, this revelation was even more shocking than Xiaya and Goku being Saiyans because, in Tights' book, the various aliens could destroy planets. Considering the background setting, if these aliens invade Earth, they wouldn't be able to resist them.

"Bulma, what are you talking about?" Goku couldn't understand what they were talking about.

'Planet Hongshan? Saiyans? Sounds very powerful.'

"Goku, it's like this…" Bulma patiently explained to Goku all she knew about Saiyans and even revealed Bardock's ident.i.ty to him.

"Originally, Uncle Bardock didn't want me to tell you as it wasn't the right time, but we are going to get married in a few days; so, I felt I should tell you."

"Master Bardock is my father?" Goku was a little lost. After a while, he digested this information and reacted, saying excitedly, "It turns out that Xiaya and the others are so powerful. They have been hiding deep. That won't do… I must fight with them next time we meet."

Seeing that Goku was not blaming her for concealing his past, Bulma revealed a brilliant smile.

At this time, Dr. Brief walked over and said, "Planet Hongshan Corporation said that they would be in charge of transforming Goku's training place. You can properly relax in these few days."

"Yes, Goku, accompany me out for a walk." With a smile on her face, Bulma dragged Goku out of her home with a cheerful mood.

Planet Hongshan.

After receiving the news of Goku's upcoming marriage, Bardock quickly gathered his family. "…Kakarrot is about to get married on Earth, so let's make a trip over there."

As she found out that she was about to see her son after 18 years, Gine's feelings of longing erupted out, and she said with tears of joy, "Kakarrot is getting married so soon. Bardock, what should we prepare? He won't blame us for not going to see him for so many years, will he?"

Gine was somewhat worried.

Bardock guffawed and said, "Kakarrot is different from other Saiyans. He is very simple, and he has friends and relatives on Earth. His fiancée is called Bulma. Although she isn't powerful, she is very considerate. Kakarrot and Bulma are a good match for each other!"

The girl with a single ponytail that stood by the side, rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Hee hee, Brother Kakarrot is it? Laret said that he is going to be the fifth Super Saiyan of Planet Hongshan in the future. I must have a good look!"

Although the status of a Super Saiyan had declined due to the emergence of the Saiyan G.o.d, it still held an unparalleled symbolic meaning as a spiritual symbol. Elise had strong expectations for the elder brother that she had never met before.

Time flowed on.

In the blink of an eye, a week pa.s.sed.

Goku and Bulma's wedding was arranged to take place in a luxury villa on the outskirts of West City. The villa was a gift from Dr. Brief to his daughter and son-in-law.

The villa was very large, just like Bulma's home at the center of the city. It was a four-story hemispherical building with various electrical equipment available inside, and it was divided into dozens of small rooms. The villa's market value was in the range of several hundred million.

However, to Bulma's family, wealth was just a series of enticing numbers.

On the wedding day, Krillin, Yamcha, Master Ros.h.i.+, Hasky, Korin, Oolong and others arrived. Chi-Chi also appeared in a white feminine Kami's clothes, and even Goku's Grandpa Gohan used the 'return to life' time for a day and rushed over from Mount Five Element to attend his grandson's wedding.

They heartily played until the wedding was about to begin.

At this time, with a flash of light, heavyweights arrived.

Xiaya, Xiling, Myers, and Launch appeared using Instant Transmission together with Bardock's family.

As they stared at Bardock who looked like the carbon-copy of Goku, Krillin quietly moved closer to Yamcha and whispered, "Look at that person; he looks just like Goku, and there is a tail behind him."

"They must be Goku's family members Wow, such powerful Ki!" As he stared at Bardock's family, Yamcha felt a strong aura from them.

This aura made his heart shudder!

"Forget Goku's strength… even his family members seem to be more powerful than him."

"Uhh…yeah!" Sensing Bardock's Ki, Krillin gulped with a nervous expression.

It was also the first time that Goku saw Bardock's real appearance. As he stared at Bardock's face which seemed like it was printed from the same mold as him, Goku's eyes turned red. He stepped forward and asked, "You… Are my father?"

"Uncle Bardock!"

Bulma also came forward and greeted in a well-behaved manner. Now that their parents were present, she and Goku will soon become husband and wife.

"Good, good! You are getting married today… Not bad, not bad!"

Bardock looked at the bride and bridegroom, Bulma and Goku, and smiled. Then, he introduced his wife and daughter to Goku and Bulma. "Kakarrot, this is your mother, Gine, and the child next to her is your sister, Elise!"

"Mother, sister?" Goku looked at Gine and Elise, and for a moment, he didn't know how to express his feelings.

At this time, Gine was looking at her son who resembled her husband. She excitedly came over, hugged him and said, "Kakarrot, you have grown so big! You look exactly like your father…"

Compared to the tall and straight Goku, Gine was very pet.i.te.

Elise looked left and right and cutely called out, "Brother!"

Next, the bustling wedding ceremony began. Bulma put on a white wedding dress and walked to Goku's side accompanied by Launch and Hasky. After Chi-Chi gave her blessings in the name of 'G.o.d', Goku and Bulma officially became husband and wife.

"Chi-Chi is looking more and more like a G.o.ddess!" Yamcha commented in a low voice.

"Master Yamcha, Chi-Chi has been a G.o.ddess from the very beginning," Yamcha's little companion, Puar, said.

At this time, Chi-Chi looked towards them with what seemed like a smile yet not a smile; her fingers slightly bent, and a mystical magical power immediately caused Yamcha to close his mouth.

Afterwards, there was a lively banquet. In the banquet, Chi-Chi, Krillin and Yamcha took out the dragon b.a.l.l.s they had collected and handed them to the couple. In addition to the four dragon b.a.l.l.s that were already in Goku and Bulma's hands, all seven dragon b.a.l.l.s were gathered. As a gift for Goku getting married, there was nothing more suitable than dragon b.a.l.l.s.

As the incarnation rang out, the green Shenron appeared in the sky on the outskirts of West City.

"People who have gathered the seven dragon b.a.l.l.s, please say thy wis.h.!.+"

Goku took Bulma's hand and shouted, "Please, let us forever be healthy and happy together."

Earth Shenron's crimson dragon eyes opened, and a booming voice resounded between heaven and earth. "Thy wish is very easy!" Then, the mysterious power of Shenron acted on their bodies. Goku and Bulma faintly smiled as they felt a refres.h.i.+ng feeling, and their spirit became relaxed.

"Well, thy wish has been fulfilled."

After Shenron finished speaking, he immediately turned into seven rays of light and scattered all over the world. Goku did not pick up the four-star dragon ball; he let it fly in the unknown direction.

"Congratulations!"

Everyone gave their blessings.

"I didn't expect that the first one to wed among us would be Goku!" Yamcha said enviously. He mused, 'Should I also find a girlfriend?'

Next day, the guests dispersed one by one.

Bardock also returned to Planet Hongshan, but Goku's sister, Elise—having felt the novel experience of being on foreign land—pleaded with her parents to stay on Earth.

Later, Goku and his wife went to Mount Paozu again. Planet Hongshan's side had already prepared a full set of large-scale training facilities on Mount Paozu. Lush and green mountains surrounded Mount Paozu, and there was only one path leading outside. Surrounded by mountains, the Feidaya people replicated Planet Hongshan's training area and built a complete set of training facilities.

There were all kinds of facilities here, and each training area was connected and orderly distributed around Mount Paozu.

The structural design which was a combination of modern technology and cla.s.sical aesthetics did not destroy the original scenery of Mount Paozu; instead, it added a unique beauty.

"Xiaya, thank you very much. These pieces of equipment wouldn't be less than a few billion on the market!" Bulma was knowledgeable about these pieces of equipment. Each piece of equipment would be priceless if brought to the market. The value of the technology was too high. As one of the successors of the Capsule Corporation, Bulma understood the concept of money very well.

Of course, Bulma was the rich missus of a wealthy family. Thus, although several billion was a lot of money, it wasn't enough to faze her too much.

"The Feidaya people's technology has always been their pride," Xiaya laughed and said.

Bulma nodded. Now, an area of 500km the entirety of Mount Paozu had been bought by the Capsule Corporation. To put it simply, Mount Paozu was already a private property of Goku's family.

Of course, it was not difficult to privately occupy a piece of land. With the "green light" from Central City, the procedures were easy to handle. After all, Goku was now a well-known martial arts master, and his fame was bigger than Master Ros.h.i.+'s.

While pointing to a hemispherical building in the distance which was more than a hundred meters tall, Xiaya gave an introduction, "That is a High-level Gravity Machine which can be adjusted to a maximum of 300 times the standard gravity. If you train in it, you can get twice the result with half the effort, but it is best not to start with very high gravity. Moreover, the entire Mount Paozu has been modified with special materials such that it can withstand powerful attacks."

After listening to Xiaya, Goku was itching to give it a try. After smiling at Bulma, he immediately ran into the Gravity Machine, and before Xiaya could stop him, he had already turned gravity to 10 times!

"He rashly adjusted the gravity too high… Kakarrot is going to suffer bitterly!" Myers covered her mouth and chuckled.

Bulma didn't react for a moment. "What?"

In the Gravity Machine, Goku was pressed to the ground by the suddenly appearing gravity. His arms and legs moved and he stood up with difficulty. "Wow, 10-times the standard gravity is so powerful. Fortunately, I didn't suddenly turn it to an even value." As an observant martial artist, Goku quickly discovered the helpful effects of the Gravity Machine during training.

Goku mused, 'It is somewhat similar to my previous training with the turtle sh.e.l.l on my back at Master Ros.h.i.+'s place, but it is not completely the same.'

"Brother, let's train!" Elise hopped over in skintight clothes; the dark-red, skintight Battle Armor outlined her graceful curves.

"Okay!"

Goku readily agreed. At first, Goku was a little uncomfortable with this sister of his who was two years younger than him, but after Elise revealed her formidable strength, he—a martial arts maniac—quickly hit it off with her.

However, one shouldn't scoff at Elise's strength because of her young age; having lived on Planet Hongshan since her childhood, Elise's Battle Power had already surpa.s.sed Goku's 1620 and reached an astonis.h.i.+ng 4,800. This number was pretty good amongst her peers on Planet Hongshan's. Elise grew up listening to Goku's stories and was curious about her brother whom she had never met.

After that, on a specially reinforced training ground, Goku and Elise fought against each other. However, before long, Goku was defeated and left gasping for breath.

"I can't do it… Elise, you are too powerful; I can't defeat you." Goku bitterly laughed and shook his head. Then, he looked at the wonderful facilities, and his eyes shot out a strong desire to train.

"Hehe, Elise is way more powerful than Kakarrot. I should find an evenly matched opponent for Kakarrot!" Xiaya chuckled and said.

Xiling's jade-like face broke into a smile, and she instantly disappeared. After a while, she reappeared, but there was one more person in her hand.

It was surprisingly Piccolo who had left after the martial arts tournament.

"Hey, woman… Why did you capture me!?" Piccolo's heart trembled as he stared at the woman who had captured him in fear. 'Could it be that she wants to deal with me?' However, Piccolo was dumbfounded as he discovered that he had arrived at Mount Paozu which was thousands of miles away from Yunzabit Heights. He was in disbelief.

Piccolo was no stranger to Mount Paozu. After all, it was necessary to understand everything about one's enemy!

However, the problem remained—how did he suddenly arrive here?

'What move is this? Traversing thousands of miles instantly…' Piccolo thought, his heart trembling.

"Be quiet, you'll live on Mount Paozu from today onwards. There are plenty of training facilities here to make you stronger!"

"What!?"

Piccolo was a little absent-minded. Then, he saw Goku and others on the side, and his countenance suddenly turned ugly. He said resentfully, "Goku, did you tell them to catch me?"

Goku repeatedly shook his head and said, "It was not me."

"Piccolo, if you want to surpa.s.s Kakarrot, there's only hope if you train on Mount Paozu! Otherwise, you will only fall further and further behind Kakarrot if the disparity in training conditions is very huge."

"Yeah, Piccolo, stay and train with me!" Goku loudly said.

Piccolo was silent for a moment. Knowing that he didn't have the power to refuse, he made the difficult decision which was against his will. "OK, I stay on Mount Paozu. One day, I will defeat you with my own hands, don't regret it then!"

However, not long afterwards, Piccolo will find out how correct his decision was.
