The fourth match featured Kami, disguised as Mr. Shen, against Yamcha.
The outcome was completely predictable.
Although Kami deliberately suppressed most of his power, his strength was still far beyond Yamcha's.
Yamcha was practically overwhelmed throughout the entire match. Every technique he used was easily seen through and neutralized by Kami. In the end, a seemingly gentle palm strike—actually filled with precise and subtle force—pushed Yamcha cleanly off the ring.
The defeat was swift and somewhat embarrassing.
Seeing that this previously unknown "Mr. Shen" possessed such unfathomable strength, Master Roshi was deeply shocked. Even the hand holding his glasses trembled slightly.
This World Martial Arts Tournament…
was truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
What kind of monsters had gathered here?
Each one seemed stronger than the last.
Good thing I didn't enter the tournament, Roshi thought with relief.
Kami Notices Broly
After winning, Kami did not immediately leave the arena.
Instead, his gaze passed through the crowd and landed on Broly, who was sitting in the audience.
But when he looked closely—
He saw that the number of snack wrappers in front of Broly had increased again.
First it had been fried chicken legs.
Then potato chips.
Now it was beef jerky.
He kept switching between snacks as if his stomach were a bottomless pit.
Kami felt speechless.
Black lines practically appeared on his forehead.
This kid… can really eat.
His mouth hasn't stopped moving since the tournament started.
It felt strangely ironic.
The Demon King Piccolo, who once nearly destroyed the world—
had been defeated by this boy who spent his days eating and sleeping.
If that story were told to others—
who would even believe it?
The Final Four
At that moment, the referee's passionate voice echoed across the stadium.
"After several intense rounds of competition, we have finally determined the Top Four fighters of this tournament!"
"Next we will begin the even more brutal and exciting semi-finals!"
"The four fighters who have advanced are!"
"Last tournament's champion — Tien Shinhan!"
"Last tournament's runner-up — Son Goku!"
"The mysterious and powerful — Majunia!"
"And the equally unfathomable — Mr. Shen!"
"These four competitors are without a doubt the strongest martial artists in the world today!"
"This tournament truly has an unbelievable level of skill and power!"
Roshi's Evaluation
"As the referee said," Master Roshi said while stroking his beard.
His old face was filled with emotion.
"The strength those four displayed… truly places them among the strongest people on Earth right now."
"The younger generation is impressive."
Bulma Asks the Real Question
"But…"
Bulma looked at the four fighters on the stage.
Then she glanced at Broly beside her—the one who clearly didn't match the image of a great martial artist.
"Have they… already surpassed Broly now?"
Roshi sighed.
"Maybe not before."
"After all, three years ago Broly defeated Demon King Piccolo easily."
"But…"
He looked at Broly helplessly.
"This kid really hasn't trained for the last three years."
"Every day he just eats and sleeps."
"And now he added playing video games."
"The path of martial arts is like rowing against the current. If you don't move forward, you fall behind."
"Meanwhile Goku and Tien have improved rapidly."
"While Broly… stayed in place."
"Maybe now… they really have surpassed him."
Bulma Teases Roshi
"Well look at that!" Bulma laughed.
"Old perverted turtle, sometimes you actually say something philosophical!"
"Of course!" Roshi immediately returned to his usual self.
He leaned closer to Bulma with a mischievous grin.
"Actually, the things I say at night are even more philosophical."
"Why don't we find a quiet place tonight and discuss the mysteries of life together?"
Bulma's Response
BAM!
Bulma delivered a brutal uppercut.
Her fist smashed directly into Roshi's chin.
He was sent flying backward before crashing to the ground.
"Oww…!"
"You violent girl…"
"Not cute at all…"
Roshi clutched his swelling jaw while groaning in pain.
Broly Is Confused
Broly scratched his head.
His clear eyes were full of confusion.
"Why did he get punched for wanting to discuss life?"
Bulma's face instantly turned bright red.
She glared fiercely at Roshi lying on the ground.
Then she looked away.
She was both annoyed and amused.
Thank goodness Broly didn't learn bad habits from that old turtle…
But then she thought about it again.
Actually…
He didn't learn anything at all.
Otherwise—
How could he be with Launch for so long and still know absolutely nothing about relationships?
Such an innocent boy…
He was like a blank sheet of paper.
Bulma suddenly remembered Goku and Chi-Chi.
Those two had just agreed to get married over a childhood promise.
Could it be…
They also don't understand anything?
Bulma's thoughts wandered.
Her expression became increasingly strange.
The First Semi-Final
The referee's voice snapped her back to reality.
"Now we begin the first semi-final match!"
"Tien Shinhan vs Son Goku!"
"These two fighters previously faced each other in the final of the last tournament!"
"Tien won that match by a narrow margin!"
"Now, three years later, they meet again!"
"What kind of sparks will fly this time?"
"Let's find out!"
Goku vs Tien
In the next moment—
Goku and Tien shot out from the backstage entrance like arrows.
They soared through the air and landed gracefully on opposite sides of the arena.
They exchanged a smile.
Then both assumed their fighting stances.
The tension in the stadium instantly tightened.
After a brief exchange of looks—
Neither of them said a word.
Both moved at the same time.
Like two meteors colliding—
They crashed into battle.
Punches and kicks collided like rapid drumbeats.
Their bodies flashed across the ring at blinding speed.
Shockwaves of energy spread through the arena.
The ropes around the stage vibrated loudly.
Piccolo Watches
Watching from below with his arms crossed—
Piccolo observed the battle coldly.
When he saw Goku's incredible speed and power—
A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
This Son Goku…
He's not simple either.
His strength was far beyond that bald boy earlier.
It was very likely that the final match would be between him and Goku.
But Piccolo wasn't worried.
Because—
Goku could never defeat him.
The power of Demon King Piccolo was beyond what mortals could match.
The championship…
was destined to be his.
