Back on Earth.
Vegeta kept urging Son Goku to use Instant Transmission and bring Tights back.
However, after getting thoroughly beaten by Broly, Goku had chickened out.
He wanted to become stronger before challenging Broly again!
As for Bulma, she didn't say much about it.
After all, her sister was with her little brother-in-arms, and nothing bad would happen to her there.
Even Bulma herself, Tights' younger sister, reacted so casually. As a result, Vegeta had no choice but to wait for someone to bring Tights home.
With that matter temporarily settled, Goku prepared to return to Planet Yardrat.
Piccolo and Gohan were still there learning Instant Transmission.
If they ultimately failed to master it, Goku planned to bring them back personally.
Watching Goku prepare to leave again, Vegeta actually wanted to ask if he could accompany him to Planet Yardrat and learn Instant Transmission as well.
But as the proud Prince of the Saiyans, his arrogance wouldn't allow him to lower himself and ask a low-class warrior for help.
Seeing that Vegeta had no intention of speaking up, Raditz and Nappa didn't dare say anything either.
In the end, they could only watch Goku leave for Planet Yardrat.
Unable to go with him, Raditz and Nappa naturally felt unwilling to accept it.
Swallowing their pride, they turned to Bulma and asked how Goku usually trained.
Bulma had never liked Vegeta's trio in the slightest.
But then she remembered that her sister had already fallen for Vegeta.
If Vegeta and the others didn't become stronger, they would never be able to protect her sister.
Just like this time.
Had their opponent not been Broly, Tights would have been doomed.
Because of that, Bulma told them about Goku's gravity chamber training and even agreed to build three gravity chambers for them.
Through Bulma, they also learned that this training method had originally been recommended to Goku by Gran.
And so, through a series of unexpected coincidences—
Vegeta's trio finally discovered the correct path of training.
One month later.
Two figures drifted through the starry cosmos.
One old, one young.
Both wore the attire of Supreme Kais.
"Let's take a look at this planet."
The Old Supreme Kai hovered outside a planet before flying toward it.
Shin followed closely behind.
Upon entering the planet, they found a civilization that was extremely primitive, resembling an ancient tribal society.
"Ancestor, what do you think?" Shin asked.
The Old Supreme Kai didn't answer immediately.
Instead, he flew around the planet, observing it carefully.
As the two continued circling the skies—
A child from one of the tribes below suddenly took flight for the first time.
The boy shouted excitedly:
"Father! I've finally learned how to fly! Three years from now, I'm going to participate in that tournament too!"
"Participate my foot! With your strength, someone could kill you with a single sneeze!"
"No way!"
The child puffed out his chest.
"The chief said the tournament doesn't allow killing, and there's even a Beginner Division! I'll enter that division. Just wait—I'll bring back ten Life Fruits for you, Father!"
"..."
The conversation drifted into the Old Supreme Kai's ears.
He nodded with satisfaction.
"Excellent. Even a backwater world like this has already received news of the tournament."
"It seems Gran's method really is working."
"Indeed."
Shin smiled.
"Gran is quite clever."
"To us Supreme Kais, those Life Fruits are nothing more than ordinary fruit. But to mortals, they're an irresistible temptation."
"Very few mortals can resist the lure of a longer lifespan."
The Old Supreme Kai folded his arms.
"I can already foresee enormous changes coming to Universes Six and Seven because of this tournament."
"But there's still one problem."
"What's that, Ancestor?" Shin asked.
"The scale."
The Old Supreme Kai frowned.
"This tournament spans two entire universes."
"The number of participants will be absurdly large. I have no idea how Gran intends to handle all of that."
Shin also fell silent.
The concern was legitimate.
According to Gran's rules, registration was completely voluntary.
That alone would produce astronomical numbers.
Then there was the preliminary selection process required to narrow down the participants.
Managing those qualifiers would be an enormous challenge in itself.
"Ancestor, where is Gran now?" Shin asked.
"Ever since he visited Galactic Patrol Headquarters, he's vanished."
The Old Supreme Kai sounded somewhat helpless.
"He's probably run off to Universe Six."
Back when Gran had only been Universe Seven's Candidate God of Destruction, he didn't constantly travel between universes.
Now that he also served as Universe Six's Candidate God of Destruction, he had responsibilities on both sides.
The Old Supreme Kai found the whole situation rather irritating.
"Shin, let's head back."
"But Ancestor, what if Gran can't solve those problems you mentioned?"
"If there's truly no other option…"
The Old Supreme Kai sighed.
"Then we'll have to use the Dragon Balls."
Truthfully, he disliked relying on the Dragon Balls.
"Can't Whis and Vados do something about it?" Shin asked curiously.
The Old Supreme Kai rolled his eyes.
"I'm not an Angel. How would I know what they can or can't do?"
"I was only talking about the worst-case scenario."
The moment he finished speaking, he vanished.
"That old geezer…"
Shin muttered under his breath.
Then he glanced down at the tribal child below.
The boy was still enthusiastically talking about participating in the Universal Martial Arts Tournament three years from now.
"I hope you get the chance."
Shin smiled.
Then he too departed for the Sacred World of the Kais.
The news of the joint Universal Martial Arts Tournament spread throughout Universe Seven.
After a month of continuous discussion and anticipation.
The entire universe exploded with excitement.
For fame.
For glory.
For the dream of immortality.
Regardless of race, status, strength, or background...
Every martial artist's passion had been ignited.
Everyone began preparing for the tournament that would take place three years later.
The scale of the event was unprecedented.
Universe Six.
Gran had indeed arrived there.
The moment he arrived, he immediately discussed the Universal Martial Arts Tournament with God of Destruction Champa and Supreme Kai Fuwa.
Neither of them had any objections.
On the contrary, they wholeheartedly supported the idea.
As the highest-ranking gods of Universe Six, if they couldn't see the significance behind Gran's tournament, they would be fools.
As a result, they entrusted the entire matter to Gran.
Furthermore, they told him something else:
From now on, whatever Gran wanted to do in Universe Six, he could do it freely.
There was no longer any need to seek their approval beforehand.
