Chapter 229: Selecting the Participants!
Mu Chuan's words seemed like a powerful shot of confidence, instantly calming down the members of Universe 7 present.
No matter what others might think, in the hearts of these Saiyans, their leader was always invincible.
Even though they didn't know the full extent of their leader's true power, they were certain of one thing: he was incredibly strong.
And that was enough for them!
Because of this, their expressions lightened considerably after hearing his words.
"As long as the boss said it, I'm relieved. Even though we don't know the strength of the powerhouses from other universes, our boss's strength definitely won't be any weaker than theirs!"
"With the boss backing us up, what's there to fear? Let's go all out!!"
Greta's face was filled with excitement, and he was already getting hyped up. His earlier unease had completely vanished.
The other Saiyans felt the same.
Their response immediately attracted the attention of others.
Particularly the attention of people from other universes.
After all, the eight universes present were feeling the weight of the situation. Just moments ago, Universe 7 was clearly sharing their concerns. But now, their expressions had unexpectedly changed, and they seemed quite thrilled.
Why was that?
Champa and the others glanced at Mu Chuan.
"Arrogance isn't a good thing. No one knows what kind of powerful beings might appear from other universes. Who would dare claim they are invincible?"
For gods like them, listening to others' conversations was easy, as long as they didn't deliberately avoid or block it. Thus, all the gods present heard Mu Chuan's words. Some gods took a curious glance at him, while others didn't even bother looking.
Daring to say such things seemed a bit too arrogant, didn't it?
Underestimating people from other universes could lead to a major downfall!
Beerus also glanced at Mu Chuan and then said calmly, "Though your strength is indeed quite formidable, stronger than most, there are times when overconfidence can lead to failure."
"We still don't know how strong our enemies are, and there will be more than just one opponent. So, you need to be cautious!"
Mu Chuan nodded. He was more aware of this than anyone else; he had merely said that to ease the anxiety of others.
As for being arrogant?
That was absolutely impossible.
He always maintained 120% vigilance against his enemies. As the saying goes, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.
"Let's go. Now that the preliminary rounds are over, we need to head back."
"We must quickly select ten fighters. If we can't pick ten fighters in time, it will be problematic to participate in the battle. Moreover, these ten must be very strong."
Beerus spoke. At this moment, he was rather concerned about selecting participants, as it was a matter of life and death for him!
Whis then led everyone back to the God of Destruction Realm.
Upon their return, Beerus looked at the group and asked, "How do you think we should choose the right warriors for the tournament?"
"This is a matter of universal importance. If we lose, we will be erased. I'm no exception!"
"So please, take this seriously!"
Beerus wanted to gather everyone's opinions. In his view, the current Saiyans alone were not enough to support Universe 7 in this grand event.
While the Saiyans were strong, when it came to truly outstanding fighters, there was only Mu Chuan.
The others were relatively weaker.
They could only be considered second or third-tier fighters, and those who hadn't reached Super Saiyan 4 were even less qualified.
Because of this, Beerus felt that the current lineup was unreliable.
The group also understood the immense pressure from other universes. No one believed themselves to be the best choice.
Suddenly, Mu Chuan spoke up, "Lord Beerus, since we need to select the strongest fighters, why not hold a martial arts tournament within Universe 7?"
"This tournament can serve as a qualifier for the Tournament of Power. We can follow the rules set by the Grand Priest. Although we might skip the chaotic battles for now, we can still implement the other restrictions."
"This way, the chosen fighters would be the most suitable ones for the Tournament of Power. Besides, we could conduct a comprehensive selection across the entire universe. It might be a good solution!"
The moment Mu Chuan finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up.
They hadn't thought of this approach.
Originally, they were pondering how to select the participants. After all, not everyone would be willing to participate, and the universe was vast; how could they possibly locate every strong fighter?
But...
If they offered great rewards, it might actually attract many participants.
By hosting a universal martial arts tournament, they could gather all the powerful beings across the universe. After several rounds of elimination, they could definitely select a group of the strongest fighters.
By then...
Wouldn't they have the best team?
Hearing this, Beerus's eyes also brightened. For gods, observing the lower realms was indeed easy, but it was tedious and time-consuming.
And errors were inevitable at times.
So, why not host a universal martial arts tournament, letting participants showcase their true strength? They could then choose the top ten fighters.
Of course, to attract powerful contestants, they would need significant rewards. Otherwise, how could they entice people to participate?
Not only could they offer substantial prizes, but they also had to inform the universe's strong fighters about the gravity of the situation.
This would surely drive them to join.
With this realization, Beerus nodded repeatedly.
"Not bad, not bad. This is an excellent idea. Let's do it this way!"
"I will choose a specific venue for the martial arts tournament of Universe 7. As for the rewards, I'll need to think them over carefully."
"During this time, we will inform the strong fighters across the universe about the impending danger. You participants should also discuss the pros and cons. And I hope you will work hard during this period."
Beerus held the Saiyans in high regard because, in his eyes, Mu Chuan was currently the strongest in Universe 7.
As for the second strongest, it would likely be Frieza.
However, that guy was somewhat tricky to deal with.
Besides the well-known powerful fighters, there might be hidden powerhouses. This universal martial arts tournament would be the perfect opportunity for those hidden talents to emerge.
