Time flew by, and soon it was the day of the 25th Martial Arts Tournament. Before setting off, everyone gathered on the two small islands belonging to John Doe and Bulma, and they all boarded a plane together to travel to the tournament venue.
The most surprising thing was that Krillin had gotten married. His wife was an ordinary human woman who had once been Krillin's disciple and was now a celebrity; they even had a daughter together.
Goku walked up to Krillin and complained, "Krillin, why didn't you invite us to your wedding? We only found out about it now!"
Krillin, feeling a bit embarrassed, said, "I originally wanted to inform everyone and hold a wedding ceremony, but my wife, Lina, said it wasn't necessary. She didn't want to trouble everyone."
"Hey, is it because you're an old bull who ate young grass and had a teacher-student romance, so you're afraid we'll make fun of you and didn't tell us?" John Doe joked.
"By the way, Krillin, where's your wife? Why didn't she come with us?" Bulma asked as she piloted the plane.
Krillin, feeling a bit embarrassed, said, "This time, she's doing a cameo as a host for a TV station, so she's already gone to Melon Island with her colleagues. We'll meet up with her when we arrive."
Krillin brought his 5-year-old daughter, Marron, with him. As the youngest and a girl, Marron became the most popular person among the children and was playing at the back of the plane with Axel, Goten, and Trunks.
Among the group, Krillin was also married, so everyone turned their attention to Yamcha. As for Tien Shinhan, after the end of the Majin Buu game, he had basically not been in contact with them.
Yamcha felt a bit embarrassed under everyone's gaze and had to turn his head to the other side.
However, everyone didn't continue to stare at him. Everyone knew that Yamcha was now a drifter who wandered among flowers, and he didn't lack girlfriends; he just didn't want to get married.
John Doe couldn't help but marvel at the great changes in Yamcha. He had transformed from someone who couldn't walk when he saw a girl to someone who wandered among flowers and didn't get involved with any of them.
Since Krillin's wife didn't come, everyone teased Krillin a little bit and then stopped talking, instead turning their attention to Gohan, who was wearing strange clothes.
Krillin asked, "Gohan, are you really going to wear these clothes on stage?"
Gohan nodded and said, "Of course. You should know that when we fought Majin Buu back then, we were filmed by the camera. Although many years have passed now, our previous appearance must still be memorable to everyone."
"So I suggest that we all don't transform. At least we can reduce the risk of being recognized."
"Not transforming? I don't care. No matter what form I'm in, I can still win." Vegeta said with extreme confidence.
Everyone agreed with the suggestion of not transforming into Super Saiyans, and they accepted Gohan's suggestion.
Not long after, Bulma shouted, "We've arrived at the venue of the martial arts tournament. Everyone, hold on tight, we're going to land."
Everyone looked out through the plane's window and saw a giant island surrounded by countless planes flying towards it. Their plane was just one of them.
Soon, Bulma landed the plane at the designated location under the guidance of the island's control tower. After everyone got off the plane, Bulma turned the plane back into a capsule.
Then, everyone walked towards the martial arts tournament venue in groups of three or two, and their large group scared the people around them, who quickly made way.
Soon, they arrived at the registration area of the venue and applied for registration.
However, Axel, Goten, and Trunks encountered a problem. Due to the popularity of the martial arts tournament, especially after Goku became famous in the tournament and set the record for the youngest participant, more and more young participants began to sign up.
However, not every young person was like Goku and Krillin. All the young participants who participated in the martial arts tournament were eliminated without even passing the preliminary round.
Especially later, adult participants often seriously injured young participants, so the martial arts tournament began to reform and established adult and youth groups. Participants under the age of 15 could only sign up for the youth group.
Axel, Goten, and Trunks looked disappointed and turned to their mother, Android 18, who patted Axel's head and said, "There's no way around it. Let's just join the youth group. We can still get a prize. Go and register."
Everyone finished registering and walked into the venue together. Those who didn't participate went to the spectator seats to wait for the youth group competition, which was held first.
After entering the venue, everyone saw many interview teams, and most of the hosts were slender and beautiful women.
Goku asked Krillin, "You said your wife is also here for an interview. Which one is she?"
Just as Goku asked, a beautiful woman with golden hair and a shoulder-length haircut walked over with a film crew.
Krillin, feeling a bit embarrassed, pointed to the female host in front and said, "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is my wife—Lina."
Upon hearing Krillin's introduction, everyone rushed forward to greet her, and Lina also greeted everyone with a big smile.
It was the first time they met, so they didn't ask too many questions. Only after Lina left, did Goku look at Krillin with a smile and say, "Krillin, I remember your ex-girlfriend had golden hair. Do you have a special preference for golden hair?"
Krillin quickly stopped him, "What are you talking about? I don't have any ex-girlfriends." As he stopped Goku, he also looked at his wife, who was leaving.
Seeing that Lina hadn't heard him, he let out a sigh of relief and then said seriously, "Goku, you must not say anything else. I don't have any ex-girlfriends. The Marron back then only saw me as a playmate."
"Alright, alright, I know. You don't have any ex-girlfriends." Goku patted Krillin's shoulder and laughed. Their conversation also made everyone burst into laughter.
At this moment, a cute girl's voice rang out behind them, "Gohan!"
Hearing someone calling Gohan, everyone immediately turned around and saw a cute short-haired girl waving at them as she ran over.
Gohan immediately went to meet her and introduced Videl to everyone. John Doe and Krillin immediately started teasing Gohan, with John Doe saying, "Gohan, you're amazing. You found such a cute girlfriend. When did you start dating her?"
However, John Doe didn't notice that Android 18 was staring at him seriously from behind!
