"Isn't this a 50/50 chance? You call this a sure loss?" Champa glared at him, feeling like he'd been tricked.
"Oh dear, Lord Champa, has something been forgotten?" Bardos smiled and reminded him.
"What?" Champa was taken aback and looked at Bados in confusion.
“Over in Universe 7, this is only the second contestant to appear. There are three more contestants to come,” Bardos replied, her tone light and casual, yet it felt like a boulder had struck Xiangpa’s heart.
Champa shivered violently, his lips twitched uncontrollably, and his face instantly turned extremely pale, as if all his strength had been drained away.
Yes, yes... How could I have forgotten something so important!
Even if Hit defeats Vegeta, there's still Goku and the others to come!
"Is it too late to slip away now?" Champa said, getting up to say goodbye to Beerus and make his escape.
“Now is not the right time,” Bardos sighed, shaking her head gently.
"Why isn't now the right time?" Champa asked, puzzled.
“Our universe only has one player left. If we run away now, it would be too obvious that we’re trying to escape,” Bardos replied with a smile, her tone carrying a hint of warning.
Xiangpa: "..."
Champa's face darkened, and she glared angrily at Bardos, but there was nothing she could do.
"It's all your fault! I said I wanted to leave... but you wouldn't let me go," Champa said angrily, but could only glare helplessly.
"It seems there's no other way but to keep trying," Bardos sighed. "Hopefully, a miracle will happen."
Champa was speechless, choked with sobs, and looked utterly dejected.
"Only Hit is left." Sun Wukong suddenly became interested, his eyes sparkling as he looked in Hit's direction, rubbing his hands together, eager to take the field himself.
"This is really rare. Vegeta is actually training Cabba. The sun must have risen in the west." Piccolo smiled, feeling somewhat incredulous.
"Not bad, that's not like Vegeta at all." Goku chuckled and scratched his head.
"Maybe it's because we're both Saiyans, so there's some nostalgia? After all, we share the same roots," Piccolo guessed.
“I’m a Saiyan too,” Goku replied, looking completely innocent.
"You don't think that guy likes you, do you?" Piccolo looked at Goku and asked with a smile, his tone slightly teasing.
"At least they won't particularly dislike me, right?" Sun Wukong scratched his head and said uncertainly.
“It’s true that you always manage to upset him,” Bick chuckled, hitting the nail on the head.
"Is it because my strength far surpasses his?" Sun Wukong stroked his chin, pondering seriously.
"It's because your words were too hurtful." Piccolo secretly wiped his sweat, expressing his helplessness at Goku's thought process.
Sun Wukong: "..."
Did I say something wrong?
"Great, Dad! There's only one player left! We're about to win!" Trunks shouted excitedly, his little face beaming with joy.
"That Vegeta guy still likes to show off!" Beerus grinned, unable to hide his smugness. "It seems we're bound to win this match, barring any unforeseen circumstances."
"Yes, yes, with Mr. Goku here, Lord Beerus can rest assured." Whis nodded gently and said with a smile.
"Looks like I should take Goku to other universes when I have time, and maybe bully some other Gods of Destruction, so they can see how powerful Universe 7 is," Beerus mused, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
“Mr. Wukong doesn’t have that hobby.” Weiss shook his head; he knew Sun Wukong all too well.
"Just tell him you're taking him out to fight, and he'll agree." Beerus chuckled, having figured out Goku's weakness.
Weiss: "..."
That seems to be the case.
“Mr. Vegeta…” Cabba had woken up and struggled to his feet. He bowed to Vegeta again, his tone sincere, “Thank you so much for teaching me the Super Saiyan transformation.”
"Hmph, don't forget the pride of the Saiyans. Just being able to transform isn't enough; you still need to train properly," Vegeta said calmly, his tone still cold, but less aggressive than before.
"Okay, yes! I will definitely try my best!" Gabe nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with determination.
"Next up is the last contestant from Universe 6—Hit!" The referee announced loudly into the microphone, his voice echoing throughout the arena.
Xiangpa's lips twitched, and his heart leaped into his throat.
A brief silence fell, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
"But speaking of which, how did you manage to get Hit, who lives in the dark universe, to come and participate in the competition... Isn't he always a loner?" Champa pondered, somewhat puzzled.
“If he wins, I will provide him with a cube spaceship in exchange.” Bardos smiled slightly, revealing a fox-like grin.
"You... what did you say?" Champa exclaimed, his eyes wide. "If we give him that thing, wouldn't he be able to go anywhere? Even to other universes?"
"Yes, yes, didn't Lord Champa say that Hit must participate in the competition no matter what? I'm doing this for the honor of the universe." Bardos smiled and spoke with righteous indignation.
"Forget it, let's win the game first, and talk about other things later." Champa sighed deeply, and could only console himself with this thought.
At this moment, Hit had already stepped onto the ring and stood opposite Vegeta, the air between them seemingly frozen.
The two stared at each other, sparks flying between their gazes, and an invisible pressure spread out, causing the surrounding audience to hold their breath.
"Game start!"
The referee announced loudly, and the entire stadium fell silent the moment his voice fell.
Hit stood with his hands in his pockets, staring intently at Vegeta across from him, his eyes sharp as knives.
Vegeta revealed a confident smile, the blue light on his body dissipated, and he did not transform, remaining in his normal state.
"Hmph, Hit! I'm about to begin. Are you mentally prepared?" Vegeta asked, his tone full of provocation.
Hit nodded slightly without speaking, but his muscles were already tense.
"Then I won't hold back!" Vegeta said, stomping his foot hard, cracking the ground, and his body shot towards Hit's direction like an arrow, his fists whistling through the air.
"boom!"
Just as Vegeta was about to get close to Hit, Hit's figure swayed slightly, and he punched Vegeta directly in the forehead with a speed that was too fast for anyone to react to.
Vegeta screamed in pain, his head spun, and he collapsed to the ground.
However, Vegeta quickly leaped to his feet, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes becoming even sharper: "Interesting."
"Vegeta, aren't you going to transform? Are you looking down on me by fighting me in your normal state?" Hit asked calmly, his tone utterly indifferent.
"No need to rush, let's observe carefully first." Vegeta snorted and rubbed his aching forehead.
"Is that so?" Hit chuckled, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Didn't Sun Wukong tell you anything about me?"
"Kakarot? What did he say to me?" Vegeta was slightly taken aback, looking at Hit with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he meant.
"That's alright then." Hit smiled, offering no further explanation.
Vegeta didn't care and charged towards Hit again, swinging his fists even faster.
Hit used Time Flash, leaving an afterimage in his original position, and instantly appeared behind Vegeta, launching an attack on him.
After several rounds of fighting, Vegeta seemed to have figured out Hit's rhythm. Suddenly, he turned to the side and threw a heavy punch, which grazed Hit's face and created a gust of wind.
Hitt leaned back, taking several steps backward before regaining his balance, a look of surprise flashing across his face.
"How about it, Hit? My strength is not bad, right?" Vegeta's lips curled up into a slight smile, his tone tinged with smugness.
“Not bad.” Hit gave a reasonable assessment, his tone remaining calm.
“You can’t possibly beat me, Hit.” Vegeta scoffed, his eyes brimming with confidence. “I know your abilities perfectly well.”
"Oh? Is that so?" Hit smiled, a hint of provocation flashing in his eyes.
"Your skill is Time Skip, which allows you to control time, right? It can temporarily stop time, is that what you mean?" Vegeta's smile grew even brighter, as if he had everything under control.
“Yes,” Hite nodded in acknowledgment, without denying it.
Upon hearing Vegeta's words, Champa and Vados were both slightly stunned, their faces showing surprise.
"Hey, Vados, how did Vegeta know Hit's abilities? And judging from his expression, it seems like he knows them very well." Champa gritted his teeth, feeling somewhat annoyed, as if his trump card had been exposed.
"Perhaps it was Weiss who said it, after all, Weiss knows a lot of things," Bardos pondered, unable to think of any other reason.
"Weis? That guy is such a chatterbox! I'll definitely have to give him a good talking to later!" Champa snorted, taking his anger out on Weis.
“You can skip 0.1 seconds, right?” Vegeta said with a smile, his tone confident. “So I can predict where you will appear 0.1 seconds later based on your movements just before you disappear. That’s why I can hit you.”
Hit smiled dismissively, saying nothing, but his eyes held a hint of seriousness.
"Also, you put your hands in your pockets and cover your legs with your coat, all to prevent people from seeing your movements, so that others can't predict your attacks, right?" Vegeta continued, exposing Hit's little schemes one by one.
“Go on,” Hite nodded, looking calmly at Vegeta, seemingly very interested in what he was about to say.
"Your actions before you disappeared cannot be changed!" Vegeta snorted, his tone brimming with confidence, as if he had already grasped the secret to defeating Hit.
"So, you can transform now?" Hit chuckled, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Are you planning to become a regular Super Saiyan, or a Super Saiyan God?"
Vegeta paused slightly, suddenly sensing something was wrong, and his heart skipped a beat.
As for what was wrong, Vegeta couldn't quite figure it out for a moment.
Hit's words perfectly confirmed Vegeta's desire to transform.
Vegeta will transform into a Super Saiyan and have a proper fight with Hit.
Finally, he transforms into Super Saiyan God and eliminates Hit from the game.
This is the same tactic that Sun Wukong used in his previous life.
Vegeta decided to try it out.
After all, Vegeta had considered it carefully, and in a simple sparring situation, Kakarot's approach was the best choice.
Of course, if it's a real fight, you can just use Super Saiyan Blue to crush them.
Vegeta used this fighting style because he wanted to learn more about Hit's Time-Skip technique.
If Hit's strength increases in the future, Vegeta will be able to defeat him.
"call out!"
Hit immediately soared into the sky, his speed as fast as lightning, leaving a faint afterimage.
Without hesitation, Vegeta quickly gave chase. The two figures moved swiftly through the sky, creating gusts of air.
The two engaged in a fierce battle in mid-air, with the sounds of fists colliding and energy explosions filling the air.
