Everyone turned at the sound, and saw four dusty figures appear before them, none other than Krillin and the others whom Goku was looking for.

"We just happened to meet up over there." Krillin raised his thumb and pointed behind him, then came to Roshi and said, "Mr. Kame, look, I've grown taller."

At this moment, Tien and Yamcha also greeted Roshi together, "Long time no see, Master Kame."

Seeing the significantly more robust auras of the group, Roshi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good, good, you all are doing well."

"Wow, everyone's here, long time no see, I'm so happy to see you all." Little Goku then turned and approached Yamcha and the others, saying.

"Ah? This, this is Little Goku!" As the group stared at Goku in surprise, Krillin was the first to recognize him and then excitedly rushed over, shouting, "Wow! Goku, you guy, I missed you so much, you didn't even give me a chance to thank you back then."

Seeing the two hugging and laughing, Yamcha and Tien said in disbelief, "That... is really the Little Goku from back then? He's changed so much..."

"Hehe, you guys have changed a lot too, how did Yamcha's face get injured?" Jing Tian said to the two who were still in a daze.

"Ah, Master Jing Tian, hello!" Yamcha, hearing the voice, finally came to his senses and noticed Jing Tian standing in front of him. He hurriedly greeted him and then, somewhat embarrassed, touched the scar on his face, saying, "I wasn't paying attention during training and got hurt, hehe."

"Jing Tian, you really are a hidden gem, we all heard about you from Kame Sen'nin on the Lookout." Tien also came to his senses and looked at Jing Tian with a fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Right, so Master Jing Tian is the big boss, you've been keeping it from us all this time." Yamcha chimed in.

"Haha, I'm not in the same league as you guys, you're martial artists, I'm just an ordinary person, I can't compare, I can't compare." Jing Tian patted Yamcha's shoulder and laughed.

Just as Tien was about to say something, the announcement on the square reminded the participants that the tournament was about to begin.

"Ah, it's starting, Grandpa Roshi, did you prepare martial arts uniforms for us this time?" Little Goku asked Roshi.

"Don't be silly, you've all grown up and have your own paths, you can't keep wearing the Kame School uniforms. Go on, do your best."

"Yes!" Hearing Roshi's words, Goku and the others responded in unison.

Watching the group leave, Jing Tian asked Roshi, "What? You're not participating this year?"

"No, I'm too old, I can't keep up with them. Besides, they've had all the training they need, the future is in their hands." Roshi looked at the group's backs, feeling content.

"Hehe, don't be modest, with your internal cultivation, they're still no match for you." Jing Tian smiled at Roshi.

"Haha, where, where." Roshi modestly replied, then continued, "Before, they didn't meet the requirements, but after leaving Kame Island for training, I found that their spirit and energy are now up to par. After this tournament, I can teach them internal cultivation."

Jing Tian nodded, looked around, and said to Roshi, "Let's go, we'll wait at the finals venue. I don't know what's going on with this year's tournament, there are far fewer participants than in previous years. The preliminaries used to take a whole day, but this time it was done in just a morning."

"It's because of the incident with the Great Demon King Piccolo. After martial artists learned of Piccolo's terror, some are too scared to participate, and others know they can't win, so they don't come." Roshi shook his head and sighed, clearly disappointed with the current state of martial arts.

"Haha, don't be disappointed, think about the disciples you've trained, they're enough to make you proud. Let's go, we'll head over."

"Hehe, that's true." Hearing Jing Tian's words, Roshi thought about it and agreed; the achievements of these few disciples were enough to make him proud for a lifetime.

Jing Tian led the three women, Roshi, Krillin, and Puar to the finals venue. They had just found a spot in the front row when the tournament host suddenly saw them, waved, and said, "Oh, it's the heroes. Come, come, come inside, I'll take you to the backstage area where you can see more clearly."

Jing Tian and Roshi exchanged a glance, didn't refuse, and followed the host backstage, waiting near the entrance where the participants enter and exit.

Xiaolongnü and Launch brought out a few chairs from the finals participants' lounge, and everyone sat down, chatting and waiting for the preliminaries to end.

About three hours later, Roshi and Jing Tian were discussing internal cultivation techniques when a sound of footsteps and voices came, "Really, where did Mr. Kame and the others go, I can't find them anywhere."

As the voice faded, a group of people appeared from a corner about ten meters away from where Jing Tian and the others were standing.

"Krillin, over here." Bulma waved to Goku and the others.

"Huh? Why are you in the backstage area? I couldn't find you anywhere," Krillin asked as he approached.

"Of course, it's because I'm so beautiful that the tournament organizers are afraid of causing a commotion, so they arranged for us to be here, right, Launch, Long sister?" Bulma sensually flicked her hair and then turned to Xiaolongnü and Launch.

"Ah? Is that so?" Launch looked puzzled, while Xiaolongnü, standing next to Launch, smiled and giggled, covering her mouth with her hand.

"Tch~ You? Long girl is more like it..." Krillin muttered disdainfully.

"What? What did you say? Try saying it again? Is there something wrong with what I said?" Bulma quickly changed her expression, dangerously placing her hands on her hips, leaning down, and threatening Krillin.

"Ah? No, nothing, I mean you're right..." Krillin was intimidated by Bulma's presence, leaning back, raising his hands in front of his chest defensively, and stammering in response.

Standing up from the chair, Jing Tian, who had been watching the show with Roshi, pulled Bulma back and said, "Alright, stop teasing them." He then explained to Goku and the others how they were brought backstage by the host.

Roshi, after asking Goku about the preliminaries, also said, "Is that so? Only Krillin was eliminated, that's a shame."

"The key is that the one who defeated Krillin is that assassin, Tambourine." Krillin said.

"Ah? Tambourine? Wasn't he already...?" Roshi was taken aback, puzzled.

"He's not dead, but he's now a cyborg. He wants to kill Goku and Tien, and the first match in the finals is between him and Tien." Yamcha said, somewhat worried.

At this moment, Little Goku said calmly, "Don't worry, everyone, it's fine, Tambourine is no match for Tien."

"That's a bit too arrogant!" A voice suddenly came from the side.

I'm not padding the word count, but if some things are not explained clearly, those who have seen the original plot will be fine, but those who haven't will feel it's a letdown.
